Sea Princess Water Repelling Bead

Led by the mermaid, a vast and magnificent Crystal Palace appeared before Zhou Qing and the others.

The palace was made entirely of transparent crystals and decorated with all kinds of seashells and corals. Its roof was covered with colorful, luminous corals, and small, fluorescent fish swam among them, adding a touch of neon to the scene.

Overall, the palace was built on the basis of an underwater cave.

As the mermaid entered the cave, the surrounding stone walls were adorned with pearls, each the size of a human head, that emitted a soft glow, dispelling the darkness within.

Before long, the group was led to the main hall.

The hall was spacious, with dozens of mermaids standing on each side, though there were more women than men— Ariel's claim that mermaids would capture humans to reproduce was probably not entirely untrue.

At the very front of the hall, three mermaids sat side by side.

The one in the very center wears Golden Crown, while the mermaids on either side wear Silver Crown. The three of them look nine-tenths alike, so they must be either sisters or mother and daughter.

After Zhou Qing and the others, some more people were brought over, including the captain of the Sea Demon: Heidel.

Why was Zhou Qing so certain?

Because Heidel is Soul Master, originally set at level fifty-something, and now also a Soul Ancestor, his Soul Power fluctuations are the most obvious among the group—perhaps due to tension and fear, causing him to constantly circulate his Soul Power, wanting to find an opportunity to escape.

"Huh?"

On the throne, the Sea Princess wearing a golden crown caught a glimpse of Ariel and suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect such an unexpected bonus."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the other mermaids, the Sea Princess flicked her tail and swam down from the throne, slowly approaching Ariel. "My dear sister, it's been twenty thousand years. How have you been?"

Ariel shuddered, and amidst the astonished gazes of the other mermaids, she shattered the bubble, her legs coming together and transforming into a fish tail.

The fish scales were a deep blue, its tail resembled a skirt, and layers of pale pink gauze floated around its body. Its beautiful hair had also turned into a white color with a Sisi pale blue.

The reason this scene shocked the mermaids was that none of them realized she was a mermaid.

But.

Some of these mermaids seemed to remember something, their eyes widening and lips trembling. "The Daughter of the Sea! Your Highness, Second Princess!"

The two mermaids wearing silver crowns were also shocked, never expecting that they actually had an aunt!

Only--

Why does this aunt not have any mermaid aura?

"Not bad," Ariel sneered. "Unlike you, sister, who recognized a thief as your father. When Father was killed by Poseidon, you directly led the way in submitting to Poseidon and provided faith for him to establish the position of Sea God."

"Presumptuous!"

The Sea Princess's stunningly beautiful face lost its smile at this moment, and her body was faintly radiating a golden halo.

This is Golden Bloodline bestowed by heaven!

It is also the Sea Bloodline!

This oppressive aura emanating from their bloodline made it difficult for all the mermaids around, including the Sea Princess's two daughters, to breathe.

The humans who were brought here, including Heidel, were trembling with fear, terrified that the bubbles around their bodies would burst and send them to their deaths at the Great Sea.

Tang San also felt the oppressive Bloodline Power, but as proud as he was, how could he be willing to submit?

This belief also temporarily activated a portion of the bloodline hidden within him. As his Soul Power circulated and his Qi and Blood surged, a faint Blue-Gold Light appeared on his body, resisting the pressure of the Sea Princess's Golden Bloodline.

"Huh?" The Sea Princess was taken aback, not expecting that there was actually a human who possessed the bloodline of one of the many Plant Sovereign.

However, it wasn't just Tang San who surprised her.

Xiao Wu, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, transformed Secondary Refinement her Soul Ring a second time, allowing her original Soft Bone Rabbit bloodline to return to her.

Under the pressure of the Golden Bloodline, his entire skeleton emitted a faint reddish-gold color, almost ignoring the pressure.

Not to mention Romantina, with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion protecting her, how could she be oppressed by a mere Sea Princess?

And what about Zhou Qing?

With the Martial Soul Possession Innate Internal Scripture Chart operating, an invisible and intangible Mind-Sense Qi Field burst forth, and the strange power caused many Soul Masters on Heidel's side to faint directly.

Among the mermaids, many of those who had cultivated for over ten thousand years were in a daze, and some even fainted.

Faced with this will!

Dark, filthy, and rotten souls will tremble!

Even the Sea Princess herself felt a slight tremor in her mind, and the Bloodline Power within her body also stirred faintly, as if it were about to break free.

What kind of humans did Ariel befriend?

A hint of murderous intent flickered in the Sea Princess's eyes.

But Ariel sneered, "He won the Star of the Ocean."

Zhou Qing also took the Star of the Ocean out of the Gray Pouch.

"Star of the Ocean!"

The Sea Princess's expression was unpredictable, her mood shifting between light and dark.

She knew all too well what the Star of the Ocean represented.

The treasures born from the Great Sea, to possess them, means to be recognized by the Great Sea — the Sea God is not, in essence, the master of the Great Sea, the Great Sea possesses its own unique will.

If the Star of the Ocean is forcibly taken from him, he will be rejected by the entire Great Sea!

Since she acquired the Sea Bloodline and grew closer to the Great Sea, she truly realized Ariel's true identity.

If mermaids are the darlings of the Great Sea, possessing the best qualities of both humans and Sea Soul Beast, then Ariel is the Daughter of the Sea! Its own daughter!

But with this status, even the Sea God would be shunned by the entire Great Sea if he dared to kill Ariel!

Although this will not affect the Sea God's Divine Throne, if he wants to mobilize the power of the Great Sea on the Douluo Continent again, he will inevitably have to constantly contend with the will of the Great Sea itself.

Even a god would find it difficult to resist the will of the entire Great Sea!

At least the Sea Princess already understands one fact: Poseidon, who had just become a god 20,000 years ago, had absolutely no way to resist the Will of the Ocean!

Now, the human cub in front of me has obtained the Star of the Ocean, which means that he has been chosen by the Will of the Ocean. If I dare to harm him, then sooner or later, the Mermaid Clan living in the ocean will be rejected by the Great Sea, and various powerful Sea Soul Beast will actively or passively invade their race.

At that time, the Mermaid Clan will probably have no choice but to move their settlement to the area around Sea God Island and rely on the protection of the Sea God's power to find a peaceful night's rest.

"My sister is really lucky. She truly deserves to be called the Daughter of the Sea."

The Sea Princess instantly suppressed her anger, took out four pearls from the seashell hanging at her waist, and gave them to Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina. "These are Water Repelling Bead pearls, produced by the Jade Water Clam cultivated by my Mermaid Clan. Only one pearl is formed every ten thousand years. When worn, they can actively form an invisible light film on your body, allowing you to breathe freely in the water. This is much more convenient than the bubbles on your bodies now."
