"Out of the loop?" Princess Otohime's eyes were red and she wanted to cry.

She didn't care that Zhang Su was holding her hand at this time, and didn't withdraw her hand.

"I'm the first outsider the princess has ever met, and I hope I can help, but time is running out. I intend to get back to my prime, and face the demons as soon as possible. Zhang Su got up.

"Demons! It's coming! Princess Otohime's expression suddenly became frightened.

"For a long time, the Dragon Palace was silent, and the demons had little interest in it. Their arrival is bound to be in a hurry, and they may be attacking soon, but time is limited, and I hope to get back to the best of form as soon as possible. Zhang Su said sincerely.

"What do you need? Herb? Princess Otohime's dragon tail stood upright.

She had become so tall, her whole body weight was pressed on the tip of her red tail, and her little face was full of anxiety.

"It would be best if there was a potion to heal the wounds as soon as possible, I am now suffering from a dark disease, so I can only do my best to breathe." Zhang Su sat down on the spot, placed Guanshi Futu horizontally on his knees, and then began to adjust his breath.

The battle with the Centipede had been very draining before, and now he had to replenish his strength to be able to fight the demons under the Dragon Palace.

"I, I'll go!" Princess Otohime hurriedly jumped away.

Zhang Su closed his eyes and drew strength from the sea of Qi of Guanshi Futu, and the mighty energy emerged.

Injected into the body to replenish his lost energy.

"The speed of pranayama is one-tenth of that of the heyday, probably because of physical and mental exhaustion, psychologically unable to achieve perfection, and the meridian acupuncture points on the body are not very smooth. Although I like a more wild way of fighting, you also have to do your best to cultivate your usual energy. Lydia checked Zhang Su's condition.

"I want to help Princess Otohime, is this a distraction?" Zhang Su closed his eyes and said.

"That's right, this kind of thought is a distraction, and it will affect you when mixed with other thoughts. The practitioner should meditate, cut off delusions, and not allow extra emotions to prevail. Lydia reminded.

"This style has become part of my belief, and I can't change it anytime soon." Zhang Su said.

"I still have to find a way to make my mind cleaner. When the qi is running smoothly, you are like a seamless machine, all the wiring and energy supply are running in the best condition, running extremely smooth, whether it is winding armor or flocculating qi, it takes concentration. But I can see very clearly now that your current situation is like pulling out one or two key parts, and it seems that you have accumulated too many thoughts in your mind since the battle of Mt. Kagura. You've got to make your qi pure again. Lydia said.

"I understand." Zhang Su entered a state of deep meditation, trying to let pure mindfulness prevail.

Princess Otohime grabbed the medicine from the pharmacy in the Dragon Palace according to the records in the stone book, and brought back some pills in gourds, sandalwood boxes, and jade boxes for Zhang Su to take.

"This is the immortal root spirit grass, that is the blue sea pulse elixir, this is the strong ointment, that is the heart-warming water...... Look at it and taste it. Princess Otohime didn't know what to do, so she did her best to send it to Zhang Su.

"Thank you." Zhang Su took the Dragon Palace Treasure Medicine. Princess Otohime blinked at Zhang Su with big eyes, seeing how he took medicine through a small box while wearing a helmet, but in fact, it was Lydia who accepted it and then hit Zhang Su.

These drugs have different properties, but in general, they all help him to regain his energy, strengthen his physical strength, and more importantly, help him calm down and adjust his state.

"Heal~Heal~Become strong and healthy~" Princess Otohime stood behind Zhang Su and patted him with her hand, humming a song in her mouth.

"Princess Otohime's singing voice is so good, it can make people feel calm." Zhang Su felt that the chaotic thoughts were being eliminated, reformed into a long line, and returned to the state of the ancient well without waves.

"Sometimes when a person is afraid, he sings to strengthen his courage. Where have the others gone? Why are the people in the books gone? Princess Otohime said.

"Don't worry, you'll meet a lot of new people in the future." Zhang Su said.

"Uh-huh......" Princess Otohime said in disappointment.

She stretched out her hands, went around Zhang Su's neck, and lay her head on his back.

In this way, she could feel a kind of reunion that she had not had the privilege of experiencing.

Zhang Su also felt very calm.

"It's incredible, though." "But you seem to be adjusting quickly, getting closer and closer to your original perfect posture." ”

Feeling the light weight of Princess Otohime behind hime, Zhang Su also got comfort from his soul. Princess Otohime knows very little about real relationships, and she just instinctively wants to get close to another living person.

Just as the fledgling will regard the first thing as a relative after breaking the shell, Princess Otohime also subconsciously regards Zhang Su as an important person.

"Get better soon...... Get better soon......" Princess Otohime muttered, her forehead pressed against Zhang Su's back, her hands patted on his shoulders, and then she began to hum again, "Strong and healthy~Warriors at the bottom of the sea, attack quickly~"

"What does Princess Otohime think the outside world will be like?" Zhang Su asked.

"Outside?" Princess Otohime looked up, "That's the boundless sea." ”

"Between the seas there is also an area called 'land', which is dry land that has not been submerged by the sea, and is uninhabitable for any aquatic race." Zhang Su told the story.

"Where there is no seawater, it's like in the corridors of the Dragon Palace." Princess Otohime looked around, "Isn't that square, too?" ”

"Yes, there are many buildings similar to Ryugu on the ground, but there is also vast nature, there are mountains, hills, plains, and the terrain of the sea is very similar to the ups and downs of the seabed, but because it is on land, there is no sea to cover it, so there are many kinds of vegetation, among which there are animals that live on the land. So there are beautiful green forests, birds and animals, some with wings, some with long noses. Zhang Su said.

"It sounds very different from the bottom of the sea." Princess Otohime leaned her head sideways close to Zhang Su's armor, completely immersed in the world described by Zhang Su, "There is no stone book that you explain so carefully, the world I know is the spiritual world except the sea." ”

"You now know that above the sea, below the spirit world, there is a vast world called land." Zhang Su said.

Princess Otohime fell into a dream. There will be a thousand things that are more strange than those written in the stone books.

She was terrified of the news, after all, it was completely unfamiliar territory. But she felt looking forward to it from the bottom of her heart, wanting to leave the Undersea Dragon Palace, where she had been resident since she was born, and see the real vast world.

"It's a terrible situation." Princess Otohime sighed.

"And there are a lot of people, countless people, so many witches. When the time comes, you won't be alone again. Zhang Su said.

Princess Otohime's reaction exceeded Zhang Su's expectations.

She blushed directly, and the whole person jumped onto the bluestone paved floor, jumping and jumping, the tail of the fish repeatedly slapped the ground, like a salted fish on the board, covering her face with both hands.

"I have a lot to say! Start with what! "Princess Otohime has begun to reverie about her communication with the creatures on land, what will they think of her? How could she make friends with them? There are so many people waiting for her to get acquainted.

On the one hand, she was excited because of her yearning, and on the other hand, she couldn't help blushing and trembling because of her shyness, "At that time, I must have met a lot of new partners and had to say a lot of things, wow!" It's all things that come to mind when you dream about it! ”

Zhang Su's strength has recovered ninety percent of the time, and he really wants to protect Princess Otohime's innocence, so he has to work hard for this.

"We have support and allies outside, but it may take a long time to mobilize, and I don't know what will become of the Dragon Palace when the time comes, so I want to try to defeat them here, if the Dragon Palace has any defenses or weapons, please tell me how to activate it." Zhang Su requested.

"And after that?" Princess Otohime did not respond directly.

"After that?" Zhang Su asked.

"After defeating the monster, you'll take me to the outside world, right?" Princess Otohime said expectantly.

"Of course." Zhang Su stretched out his hand, "Let's hook our fingers and agree." ”

"Hook your fingers?" Princess Otohime didn't understand, "There's one more thing that hasn't been said in the book." ”

"It's to pull the hook with the little thumb, which is a way to make an agreement, so it means that I promise." Zhang Su said.

"Great!" Princess Otohime immediately laughed.

She cautiously stretched out the tail finger of her right hand and hooked it with Zhang Su's hook.

The contract has been made.

"It's agreed like this, we will definitely take you to the outside world to explore, and everything in the Dragon Palace, we will also take care of it." Zhang Su promised.

Princess Otohime couldn't stop laughing at first, so much so that she felt out of shape and wanted to hide her face with her hands.

She was so happy, and this pure emotion also affected Zhang Su, making his thoughts clearer and clearer.

"Hmm!" Princess Otohime jumped up at last, her face full of excitement, "There are some defenses in Ryugu Castle recorded in the stone book, let's open them all." ”

Princess Otohime took Zhang Su back to the hall where the corpses were littered before.

She didn't seem to know anything about the situation of the former Princess Otohime and those ministers, and she didn't care.

After all, Princess Otohime was already full of bones when she was born, so she didn't find it strange at all.

Zhang Su looked at the bones, they probably had their own ideas before, and the logic and reasons were very sufficient. After all, it was too painful to defend Dragon Palace City alone without outside reinforcements. And the little princess didn't know the cause and effect at all, just working hard here alone in ignorance.

"Okay, this is the scepter, which can be used to open the self-defense system of Ryugu Castle." Princess Otohime pulled out a golden hexagonal relic from behind the throne.

The texture of this scepter is very exquisite, and it still retains the majesty and charm of the past, and it should be a token of the successive rulers of Ryugu Castle.

Princess Otohime carried it on her shoulders and headed to the apse of Ryugu.

In the center, Zhang Su saw some large jade energy storage tanks, which together formed an array of energy that Dragon Palace City could use, and Princess Otohime followed the instructions of the stone book to clean them from time to time to ensure that they were functioning properly and would not be destroyed with the years.

"Well, this is it." Princess Otohime holds her scepter alof.

Zhang Su plucked the frozen starfish and barnacles from the onyx base with his hands, so that Princess Otohime could aim at the hexagonal socket on the base.

She poked the scepter into it with all her might, as if using a key to open a lock, and a buzzing sound immediately sounded throughout Dragon Palace City, and the surrounding energy arrays began to glow.

"It worked." Zhang Su looked around at the changes.

"I like you so much!" Princess Otohime turned her scepter and said happily to Zhang Su, "You'll definitely help me get out of here after that, right?" We've ticked our fingers! ”

"Definitely." Zhang Su promised without hesitation.
