Chapter 274 Mermaid Tears
"Jiu'er, are you saying that there is the breath of ancient beasts under the sea?"
Ji Jiuying nodded, Gong Mingyue held her slender waist and jumped into the sea of water. This time, because Gong Mingyue was there, she did not lose consciousness the moment she fell into the sea of water like last time. Moreover, she had an extra layer of barrier on her body, so she could breathe freely underwater, and her clothes were not wet. Ji Jiuying sighed again that the strong are different.
The two soon arrived at an underwater palace emitting blue light. The pillars on both sides of the palace seemed to lead to the sky, but this time Ji Jiuying planned to go inside the palace to take a look, maybe there would be an unexpected surprise.
"Ayue, let's go into the palace first to see if there are any treasures." Gong Mingyue let Ji Jiuying pull him into the palace, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes could not hide his pampering.
They walked past two tall pillars and through a corridor hung with pearl shells. There were crystals on both sides of the corridor. Under the illumination of the blue pearl shells, the corridor emitted colorful and holy light. Soon they arrived at the palace.
Ji Jiuying was mesmerized by the scene before her. What caught her eye was a sea of brilliant colors and glittering crystal pillars. The entire palace was made up of countless sparkling purple crystals, like bright stars, emitting charming brilliance. The glazed dome and crystal floor formed a dreamy atmosphere, just like the dreamy crystal palaces in modern TV dramas and cartoons.
"Wow~ So beautiful!"
Ji Jiuying couldn't help but sigh. Gong Mingyue looked at her shining eyes and scratched her nose with his fingers, "Jiuer likes this kind of palace?"
"Of course I like it. Every girl in our hometown had a fairy tale dream when she was a child!" Ji Jiuying answered without thinking.
Gong Mingyue glanced around. Is this a fairy tale dream?
"Ayue, what on earth could be living here?" Ji Jiuying looked around and asked puzzledly. She found that there had been no signs of any living creature living here for a long time.
"This should be the palace where the mermaids live!" Gong Mingyue said.
Ji Jiuying turned around and widened her eyes, "What? Mermaid?"
"Is it the kind of mermaid that has a human upper body and a fish tail at the lower body, and looks very beautiful?"
Gong Mingyue was slightly stunned. This palace was at least tens of thousands of years old. This land and other continents were no longer suitable for the mermaids to survive. How did she know what the mermaids looked like?
"Do you know mermaids?"
Ji Jiuying noticed his doubts and nodded, "Actually, I read about it in a book."
Gong Mingyue was still a little skeptical, because no one had ever mentioned books about the mermaids in his five years in Cangming Continent. Seeing that he still looked unconvinced, Ji Jiuying said, "In fact, there have always been legends about mermaids in my hometown, but I have never seen one."
"Everything here is ownerless, so it's not too much for us to steal it!"
Ji Jiuying smiled slyly and pulled Gong Mingyue over to look left and right. She found that all the good-looking things were put into the space. Gong Mingyue sat lazily aside, looking at Ji Jiuying who was busy and happy, like a bandit, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.
After a while, Ji Jiuying put everything she should and shouldn't take into the space, and then walked towards Gong Mingyue with satisfaction, "Okay, let's go!"
"Jiuer, wait, there's something else we haven't taken!"
Hearing this, Ji Jiuying looked at the palace that she had looted. Was there anything else she hadn't taken?
Gong Mingyue stood up and walked to the throne in the hall. After groping for a while, he pressed something and the crystal wall behind the throne slowly opened. A passage emitting blue light appeared in their sight.
"What is this place?" Ji Jiuying asked behind Gong Mingyue.
"This should be the Mermaid King's bedroom. Usually all the good treasures are in the bedroom."
"Then why didn't you say it just now?" Ji Jiuying pinched Gong Mingyue's arm hard.
"I saw you were so happy just now, I couldn't bear to interrupt your good mood."
"You're so talkative, it's obvious you did it on purpose!"
As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the bedroom, which was an exquisitely decorated bedroom with a blue crystal ice bed. There was even a merman's corpse on the ice bed, which must be the Merman King.
Ji Jiuying clasped her hands together and bowed towards the corpse on the ice bed. Unexpectedly, her bow caused a bolt of lightning to strike from the sky. The palace shook and Ji Jiuying was shocked. Gong Mingyue hurriedly protected her in his arms.
Gong Mingyue looked at the person in his arms with a solemn expression. The lightning just now was clearly the lightning of the law of heaven. Who was her identity that even the Mermaid King who had existed for tens of thousands of years could not withstand her kneeling ceremony?
"Ayue, what happened just now?" Ji Jiuying poked her head out and asked in confusion.
"It's okay. It might be the shaking caused by the collapse of the island above."
Gong Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that Jiu'er's father was quite important! However, before he found out the truth, he would not tell her first.
Ji Jiuying nodded and looked around. Sure enough, as he said, all the good things were here. Compared with what she had just taken, they were nothing. Ji Jiuying stared at the colorful pearls and couldn't let them go. Each one contained rich spiritual energy, which was the best way to improve her cultivation! Without any hesitation, she took them all away.
Despite this, Gong Mingyue frowned slightly and observed his surroundings. Sure enough, a crystal box on the ice bed caught his attention. He slowly walked to the corpse of the Mermaid King, picked up the box through the air with his spiritual power, and slowly opened it.
Ji Jiuying stared at the gem in the crystal box with wide eyes. It was a light blue gem in the shape of a teardrop, clear and transparent, emitting an intoxicating blue glow, and contained infinite water elements.
"Could this be the legendary mermaid tears?"
"Jiuer is really smart!"
Ji Jiuying opened her mouth slightly, with uncontrollable excitement in her eyes. Isn't this specially prepared for her?
"Ayue, can this mermaid's tear be mine?" Ji Jiuying looked at Gong Mingyue eagerly and asked.
"I thought Jiuer would take it by force!" Gong Mingyue said with a joking smile.
Ji Jiuying was full of black lines on her face, "Okay, Ah Yue, it turns out that I am such an unreasonable person in your mind!"
Gong Mingyue touched her head and said with a smile, "Take it. I don't need these things. But you, Jiuer, are still lacking in water spiritual roots. This Mermaid's Tears can help you."
Ji Jiuying took the Mermaid Tears without hesitation and said with a smile, "Thank you, A Yue!"
"Just thank you? No other reward?"
Gong Mingyue's handsome face suddenly came close to her, and the breath of his words almost sprayed on her face. His deep eyes looked at her with a smile, as if he wanted to eat her in one bite.
