Chapter 112 Slapping the Face of the Vicious Hostage (Part 4)
The next morning, Leng Yuexing took Mu Chen to the palace to see his father.
The royal palace was built at the very back of the clan's territory, along the rocky outcrops, and was inlaid with pearls and gems.
Many luminous stones are embedded in the pillars, illuminating the sea area near the palace exceptionally brightly.
Two rows of merman warriors, strong and solemn, stood suspended in the sea outside the palace.
Upon seeing Leng Yuexing swimming towards them from afar, they put down the tridents they were holding, crossed their arms in front of their chests, and bowed their heads to pay their respects to Leng Yuexing.
When they caught sight of the black mermaid following Leng Yuexing, they stared in horror, burying their heads in their chests, terrified that the wizard Mu Chen would notice them.
As Leng Yuexing swam toward the main hall, she observed the warriors on both sides.
These warriors were already the most powerful members of the merfolk, and they seemed much stronger than ordinary merfolk, but Leng Yuexing could still sense that these warriors were not strong enough.
They didn't utilize the mermaid's body to its fullest potential at all.
Just by looking at their expressions when facing Mu Chen, you can tell how big the gap is between them and Mu Chen.
The pressure emanating from Mu Chen was like that of a giant sea monster, bringing them boundless fear and making them tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
Mu Chen followed Leng Yuexing, his eyes only on her figure, not caring about the opinions of the two mermaids.
Leng Yuexing entered the main hall and saw his father, the king, fiddling with jade. He crossed his arms, bowed, and said, "Father."
The Mermaid King looked up and saw Leng Yuexing. He smiled kindly and said, "It's Yuexing. What brings you here to see your father?"
“Father, I want Mu Chen to train the young mermaids and improve their combat capabilities,” Leng Yuexing said directly.
"Oh? Why so suddenly?" The Mermaid King was somewhat surprised.
Mermaids have always lived a leisurely life in the deep sea, at the top of the food chain, and do not need to improve their fighting abilities.
He didn't understand why Leng Yuexing did this.
"Father, what if we have something that humans need, and they start hunting us indiscriminately?"
The Mermaid King swam to Leng Yuexing's side, patted his head, and said, "Humans are unaware of our existence. Your worries are unnecessary."
"The deep sea where we live is completely inaccessible to humans."
Leng Yuexing looked up at the Mermaid King with determination, "Father, one day, mermaids will be exposed to humans."
"Humans live on land, and they have far more resources than we do. They have already begun to manufacture many navigation tools. If we are exposed one day, what will we use to resist humans?"
"Our current strength is simply insufficient to fight back."
Leng Yuexing looked at the Mermaid King with determination, "Father, it's time for us to wake up from our slumber."
Looking at Leng Yuexing's determined expression, the Mermaid King thought about how more and more mermaids had recently been sneaking out to the surface of the sea to play.
He sighed and said, "Yuexing, you're all grown up now, so just do as you say."
Then he looked at Mu Chen beside Leng Yuexing and said, "Mu Chen, it's been a long time. You're even stronger than before."
Mu Chen crossed his arms, bowed his head, and said, "Your Majesty."
"I'm entrusting these young mermaids to you; you must train them well for me!" the Mermaid King instructed.
Mu Chen lowered his head, "I will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust."
Then the Mermaid King summoned his attendants and told them to inform all the young mermaids to gather in the central square the next morning.
The mermaid clan's megaphones rang out throughout the territory, broadcasting three times the news that the young mermaids would gather in the central square the next morning.
Then, the Mermaid King waved for Leng Yuexing and Mu Chen to leave.
After leaving the main hall, Leng Yuexing tilted her head and asked Mu Chen, "Where are you planning to train those mermaids?"
Mu Chen glanced at the southeast direction outside the clan's territory. "Follow me."
He then swam first in a southeast direction.
Leng Yuexing followed Mu Chen and swam forward. After leaving their clan's territory and swimming for a long time, they arrived at a huge underwater waterfall.
When seawater with different salinity levels meets, the seawater with higher salinity sinks while the seawater with lower salinity rises. Combined with the terrain, the surrounding seawater continuously plunges into the seabed, forming an underwater waterfall.
Looking down from Leng Yuexing's perspective, the waterfall was bottomless, and the seabed was shrouded in darkness.
The closer he got to the waterfall, the stronger the force of the water flow around him became. He stopped swimming forward only when he felt a slight stinging pain in his body.
"Is this the place you're going to train the young fish? Isn't it dangerous?" Leng Yuexing asked hesitantly.
"When I was ten years old, I had already swum to the bottom of the waterfall."
Mu Chen seemed completely oblivious to the pressure of the water. "It's only a drop of a few hundred meters. Although a month isn't enough time to swim up from the bottom of the waterfall, it should be enough to withstand the pressure."
Mu Chen swam over to Leng Yuexing's side and whispered in his ear, "The view at the bottom of the waterfall is beautiful. Would you like to go see it?"
Leng Yuexing also wanted to go down to the bottom of the waterfall, but he didn't know if his body could withstand the water pressure.
Mu Chen noticed Leng Yuexing's worry and hugged her from behind.
The fish gently teased Leng Yuexing's soft tail fin with its tail and said, "Don't worry, we'll swim down from a place further away from the waterfall. You can handle it."
Leng Yuexing nodded after hearing this, "Then let's go now."
After Leng Yuexing finished speaking, Mu Chen picked her up in his arms. "The pressure around here is quite high, so it's safer for me to carry you down."
Leng Yuexing reached out and hooked her arm around Mu Chen's neck, saying, "Okay."
Mu Chen carried Leng Yuexing downstream along the sea current in front of the waterfall. The surrounding seawater kept pressing in, and Leng Yuexing's body gradually felt a stinging pain.
Seeing this, Mu Chen used his body to block the impact of the strongest water flow from above, and quickly swam downstream with Leng Yuexing in his arms.
A few minutes later, Mu Chen carried Leng Yuexing to the bottom of the waterfall.
A suddenly bright world appeared before Leng Yuexing's eyes.
It turns out that countless radiant blue flowers grow at the bottom of the waterfall, their petals thick and long, completely unaffected by the pressure of the surrounding water flow.
They grow freely here, silently radiating a blue light.
Colorful little fish swam around, a species that Leng Yuexing had never seen before.
They have big, adorable eyes, pouting red lips, and chubby, shimmering bodies that are incredibly cute.
Out of curiosity, they swam around the Cold Moon Star, some even boldly kissing its gauze-like tail fin.
Upon seeing this, Mu Chen's expression turned cold.
With a wave of his hand, an invisible current of water pushed all the small fish three meters away from Leng Yuexing.
Intimidated by Mu Chen's oppressive aura, Xiao Yu scattered and hid in all directions.
Leng Yuexing glanced at Mu Chen with amusement.
Leng Yuexing had naturally upturned fox-like eyes, and the way she glanced at him was filled with an indescribable allure, causing Mu Chen, who saw her, to instantly catch his breath and his eyes to darken.
Mu Chen plucked a light blue flower from beside him, swam to Leng Yuexing, and tucked the blue flower behind his ear, saying, "Don't try to seduce me. I have no self-control in front of you."
After saying that, he pinched Leng Yuexing's chin, gently bit her sweet lips, and then kissed her fiercely!
