Atlantis's Royal Palace looked vast and spacious, as well as breathtakingly beautiful.
Beautiful mermaids brought food to the guests one by one.
Li Ang and the others began sampling the delicacies from beneath the sea.
Queen Atlanna sat at the head of the table, with General Antiope and Li Ang beside her.
Everyone else sat below them, and they all began to praise the food.
The delicacies of Atlantis consisted mostly of various kinds of seafood and fish from beneath the sea.
The flavors were rich, and they were hard to find on the surface.
They also had a distinctive taste.
"Mr. Li Ang, may I ask what you do on the surface?"
Queen Atlanna asked the man beside her.
She raised her wine glass, and Li Ang gently clinked his against it.
"I'm just an ordinary person."
For some reason, he felt that Queen Atlanna was looking at him differently.
It was just like the way Queen Hippolyta and General Antiope had looked at him before.
But Li Ang didn't let it show. After all, Queen Atlanna still looked young, and she had a more mature charm than Mera.
The truth was, Li Wei's heroic rescue of a beauty earlier that day had left a deep impression on Queen Atlanna.
At that moment, she had felt her heart race, as if she were young again, and she couldn't help feeling a rush of desire.
It was instinctive for most living creatures: when faced with death, their strongest desire was a primal urge, because it could lead to offspring.
That was why the old trope of a hero rescuing a beauty never stopped working.
The flutter in her heart had faded somewhat by now, but Queen Atlanna found Li Ang quite appealing and thought he would make a good partner.
