58. Dragon Palace of the East China Sea
"East China Sea Dragon Palace?" I asked, "Is it the biggest part of your house?" ”
She smiled. "Yes! How many other places are there in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea? ”
I'm quite tempted. When I first went to the Bohai Palace, it was the most luxurious and modern place I have seen in the world. (Lutai Palace and Dune Palace are good, but there are no sofas and chairs there.) And what will the East China Sea Dragon Palace look like?
"But I'm busy right now......" I said.
"Busy with what?" She grabbed the conversation, "Maybe I can help you!" ”
I looked at the Three Immortals Island behind me, "Then should I talk to the Sanxiao sisters, as well as Caiyun and Hanzhi?" ”
"What is there to say?" Ao Zhen replied, "I'm here, Sanxiao must know." I'm inviting you, and you go and tell them. Shall I invite them? There are no extra seats for dragon boats. ”
"Alright then!" I compromised (I didn't really want to say hello to them).
The overhead cover was closed, and the dragon boat dived underwater. Through the bulkhead, you are surrounded by a fascinating underwater world. After a while, just like the time I went to the Bohai Palace, the bulkhead gradually turned into a milky white, isolating the image from the outside world.
I suddenly felt something strange. It is said that the outer surface of the dragon boat is not flat, so the image of the outside seen through the bulkhead should be distorted, right?
Could it be that there is no refraction of light in this world? Wrong! When I looked up underwater just now, I obviously did!
Ask Ao Zhen? But these questions come from the physics I learned in my previous life. Does she understand physics?
Ao Zhen is studying my body clothes at the moment. "You don't have this dress from the dragon family? Is it a Western product? She scratched my dress twice with her pointed nails, "Protective?" ”
"Hey, your nails are so sharp, they're scratched!"
"Whoa! I'll pay you if it's broken! She said, and then poked my chest with her fingernails.
Come and don't be rude. I immediately grabbed her by the sleeve and began to study her swimsuit. At first glance, she looks much the same as my tights, with the same long sleeves and high slit. It's just that she's dark and has the opening in the front, and I'm white and has the opening in the back.
But upon closer inspection, I realized that her clothes were not silk at all. There seem to be tiny pores on it. Leather? Sharkskin?
I pulled her neckline open and went straight between the crests of the waves. She knocked my hand off, "What are you doing?" Dislike! ”
"It's all women, what are you afraid of?" I smiled, "Aren't you in the dragon boat?" Why do you still wear a swimsuit? ”
"This is what I wear every day in the Dragon Palace!" "I'm an aquarist, and I spend a lot of time in the water," she said. It was only because I picked you up that the water in the dragon boat was drained. ”
I don't know how long it took for the bulkhead to become transparent again. I looked around and saw that beyond the dragon boat, there was no more than a palace. From far to near, from top to bottom, there are palaces everywhere. Large and small aquariums come and go.
Where is this Dragon Palace, is it clearly a Dragon City!
The dragon boat enters through the entrance of a small and delicate palace. The aquatic soldiers cruising at the door saluted when they saw us.
Ao Zhen did not respond, but drove the dragon boat directly into a courtyard and opened the top cover.
We jumped out of the dragon boat. I looked up at the water above where the aquariums swam by, but it was in the air like on land, and there was obviously nothing in between, and I felt more and more strange.
"What are you looking at?" Ao Zhen smiled and asked, "Nezha, are you hungry?" Do you want to eat first? ”
After running so far, of course I was hungry. So he nodded heavily.
I followed Ao Zhen into her dormitory. She immediately ordered the palace people to prepare lunch. In a few moments, the table will be full of dishes. I looked at it, and my eyes straightened.
"What's wrong?" She asked, "I'm afraid that if you don't eat live, I'll cut it for you." Our chef doesn't cook cooked food! ”
I looked at the table full of dishes, and I could vaguely tell whether they were slices of lobster, shellfish, fish, and some of them were plants or animals from the sea. It's another seafood feast. It's just not like Caiyun's table crawling everywhere.
I timidly said, "I thought you didn't eat aquariums!" ”
Ao Zhen listened to it and almost didn't squirt out. "We live in the sea, what do we eat without aquarium? Do you not eat birds and beasts on land? ”
That's right!
"You're a vegetarian, aren't you?" She seemed to suddenly remember, "Then there is no way." We have a lot of meat here, but not a lot of vegetarian food. But you eat here, your teacher can't see it. ”
I grabbed a slice of shrimp and put it in my mouth. "I'll eat it anyway. If it is alive, it can be released if it is not eaten. Kill all the kills now, what a waste if you don't eat! ”
"That's it!" Ao Zhen said, "But it won't be wasted." Even if you don't eat it, there are people who want to eat it. With that, he began to feast. In comparison, I, a self-proclaimed foodie, am no match at all.
"Are you done eating?" Ao Zhen asked, "You can really eat it!" I don't think your father's meal is half as much as yours! ”
"Where can you eat?" I retorted, "It's not fat to eat like this." ”
"I'm a dragon!" She smirked, "All right! The meal is over, and it's time to get down to business. ”
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"You come with me." She took a small locket from the cupboard, and led me out of the dormitory, down a hundred or so steps down a downward corridor, to another secluded palace.
"I've been entrusted with it. Heard you need this. She said as she opened the box and pulled out an egg-sized turquoise bead from it. This bead is called a water repellent bead. For a mortal body like you, just hold the water-repellent bead in your mouth and stay in the water for as long as you want. ”
So magical! Could it be that this is an oxygen generator? But.
"What if I swallow it? Will it make your stomach burst! ”
"Yes!" Ao Zhen was a little annoyed, "Unless you insist on swallowing it, it won't go down." Come on, open your mouth! ”
She shoved the water-repellent beads into my mouth. "Ready? I let the water go! ”
I felt a slight shift in light and shadow, and soon the air around me shrank into a bubble that shattered and floated above the water. The body was completely immersed in the water, and then floated off the ground.
Ao Zhen, who was beside her, had red hair fluttering out, but her mouth was still talking. "How? Still adapting, right? ”
I nodded.
"Follow me." Ao Zhen said, turning over and swimming out of the palace.
I followed her out of the palace gate, and there was actually an underwater jungle outside.
"It's a lot like the jungle on the island you crossed in the morning! But you'll have to swim through. I'll be waiting for you over there. The water tribe on the road is up to you. If there's something delicious in the middle, we'll eat this tonight. ”
I understood that Teacher Taiyi must have helped me arrange all this. It seems that I have to get the ranking in this Trail Spirit Competition.
Ao Zhen got up and wandered away. I began to do the same, using the Qiankun circle to open the way, the Chaotian Aya circled to form a pathway, and then used the Jade Void Short Sword to sweep away the last obstacles.
It's a much longer journey than the one on the island. Is it because swimming is slower than running? By the time I made it all the way to the end of the jungle, I was exhausted.
I saw Ao Zhen swimming in the water, and she didn't want to move anymore, so she floated in the water.
"You're so nervous!" She smiled and said, "Eh, you can open your mouth and talk!" The water droplets do not fall out on their own. ”
But I didn't dare to open my mouth, for fear that the sea would pour into my mouth and choke me to death. So he shook his head fiercely.
Ao Zhen smiled and shook her head, took my hand, and swam back to her dormitory. The mana is then applied to cause the surrounding waters to recede.
I sat down on the floor of the main hall, spat out the droplets, and spat a few more mouthfuls of water, snorting and panting.
Ao Zhen sat next to me, a pair of beautiful legs, and her long wet red hair draped over her shoulders. Smile at my embarrassment.
When Ao Zhen sent me back to Sanxian Island, it was already the next day. When the dragon boat rises from the sea, it stops at the edge of the beach. I saw the Rainbow Fairy standing on the shore, staring at us with deep eyes.
Probably anticipating that someone would be waiting for us, Ao Zhen did not wear a high-leg swimsuit, but changed into a more formal dress.
"Welcome, Seventh Princess!" Caiyun said, "Where did you kidnap my sister Nezha?" ”
