"Just taking a look around. I'll be back soon."
Xu Yi said with a smile. Little Red Carp summoned a huge, crimson octopus monster and instructed it, "I'm taking Lord Demon Order out for a look around. If the cave master sends someone to summon him, tell them directly."
The octopus monster respectfully bowed to Xu Yi, then stepped aside to clear the way.
As he left the cave, Xu Yi felt as though he had stepped into a whole new world.
Though he was deep beneath the sea, after consuming the ten-thousand-year Spirit Mussel Pearl, he was no different from an ordinary sea demon. He could barely feel the water's pressure, and his vision was unobstructed.
The azure water was like an unfurled painting spread across the reddish-brown Fengzhu Rock, formed from millions of years of sediment. Walking through the water was like wandering through a painting.
The underwater vegetation was often brilliant in color and grew in lush clusters. A patch of red sand grass blazed like a fire, while a field of drooping hundred-leaf lotuses, their seven-petaled flowers in full bloom, could illuminate an entire stretch of the underwater world.
"These are Warm Fruits, young master. You can try one; they taste quite good."
As Xu Yi looked around, dazzled by everything he saw, Little Red Carp exhaled, sending a brown, peach-shaped fruit slicing through the water toward him.
Xu Yi caught it and put it in his mouth. At first, it tasted faintly sour and astringent, but that sensation instantly turned into a warm current that flowed through his whole body. The indescribable warmth and comfort invigorated him.
Seeing the look of enjoyment on Xu Yi's face, Little Red Carp's body trembled, and a great many more Warm Fruits came rushing from all directions.
