Hu Yun merely smiled mysteriously, "Your Majesty is so clever, naturally prepared with dual strategies."
"I hope Your Majesty returns safely."
...
At the moment Shen Tang touched the seawater, a faint blue glow appeared around her. Those blue lights encircled her body, forming a transparent protective barrier, filtering the oxygen in the seawater, balancing the water pressure, allowing her to move freely underwater like a true member of the Sea Clan.
In the increasingly dark deep blue seawater, the pitch-black sea area was almost devoid of light, Shen Tang radiated a faint blue aura, swimming gracefully as if she were a real mermaid, illuminating her soft and delicate features, like an elf accidentally venturing into the deep sea.
Her beauty made those sea beasts hold their breath.
They knew very well what this was.
This was the power of the Water-Repelling Pearl.
The Water-Repelling Pearl is the most important treasure of the deep sea, condensed by the Sea Beastman using origin power, it is only condensed once in a lifetime and is given solely to one’s partner, representing the deepest affection.
Yet for some reason, even the leading general felt something amiss.
Although Prince Jia Lan and Shen Tang are so close, he didn’t personally come to receive her, which indeed differs a bit from the rumored situation...
"Shen Tang, Your Majesty, did you and the Prince have a quarrel recently?" the leading general cautiously asked.
Shen Tang shook her head, "No, but indeed something happened between us, the current him... is no longer the person I love."
The Beastman looked utterly shocked, isn’t this considered a quarrel? Surely, it must be a big fight!
It sounds almost like they’re about to sever ties or get a divorce.
He assumed a look of experience, earnestly advising, "Your Majesty and the Prince are still young, having prideful, stubborn personalities is quite normal. Having small friction or disagreements between partners is totally normal too, as they say, ’couples fight at the head of the bed, reconcile at the foot’, what issue can’t be overcome? When Your Majesty reaches our age, you’ll realize how rare true feelings are, and shouldn’t act impulsively..."
Yet, Shen Tang merely smiled bitterly, "If I told you, the Jia Lan you now heed is no longer the Jia Lan I love, would you believe me?"
Those Beastmen revealed shocked expressions, seemingly hearing something unbelievable, even suspecting she was speaking nonsense.
Shen Tang shifted the topic, casually asking, "Since the disappearance of Jialouluo, Your Majesty, how has the sea area been faring?"
As he spoke, the Beastman cautiously sought a chance to explain for their own majesty, "The Prince might indeed have been occupied, thus sending us on his behalf, but also ordered a sumptuous banquet prepared to welcome Your Majesty, hoping Your Majesty won’t be angry!"
Inside, Shen Tang sneered, that damned fellow isn’t occupied, he simply is too lazy to greet her.
After these days of restoration, the Imperial Palace had regained its former splendor and magnificence, leaving no trace of the previous war scars.
And in the palace’s welcoming hall, a lavish banquet was already prepared to greet Shen Tang.
Shen Tang hadn’t sat long when she heard the guards at the entrance announce loudly, "The Prince has arrived!"
Shen Tang turned her head to look toward the entrance.
A commotion arose at the door, soon followed by a tall, slender figure strolling into the hall, exuding a commanding aura.
Once he entered, an invisible pressure enveloped the entire hall, everyone present instantly quieted down, retreating to the sides, reverently gazing at that dignified and stately figure.
The man wore a deep blue Sea Clan ceremonial dress, embroidered with golden threads and adorned with precious glass jewels, an air of excellence, majestic and regal. Just a few days apart, he no longer resembled the shy and innocent image from her memory, beginning to manifest the future awe-inspiring presence of the Sea Emperor.
