The gate of the Dragon Palace opened, and the calm sea floor suddenly became turbulent. The power of the water waves spread, making it difficult for many sea tribes to resist, and they were pushed far away.
As the door was completely opened, a group of sea tribesmen with neat ceremony and guard were seen walking out.
Another hunchbacked old man wearing a uniform similar to that of a human official led the team out.
When all the Hai clan saw him, they immediately greeted him and respectfully called him "Prime Minister Turtle".
Prime Minister Gui walked up to Ye Ming and Miao Tong and smiled:
"The two guests have been waiting for a long time. Her Royal Highness the Princess invites you to come in."
Seeing how polite the other party was, Ye Ming stepped inside with a smile, chatted a few words with Prime Minister Gui, and exchanged titles.
As Miao Tong walked, she looked at Prime Minister Turtle curiously and said:
"Isn't it the Dragon King's responsibility to make the decision in the Dragon Palace? Why do you sound like this princess is the one in charge?"
Prime Minister Turtle looked at Miao Tong strangely and said:
"Is she a disciple of Lihaiguan? Didn't your master tell you about the Dragon Clan in the South China Sea?"
"No, Master seems to dislike mentioning these things and won't tell me if I ask."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Gui moved his eyes slightly and continued to smile:
"The reason is simple to say. More than 1,500 years ago, the Heavenly Palace left, and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas also left with it, leaving their respective heirs to inherit the throne of the Dragon King.
After many years of practice, I, the Dragon King of the South China Sea Dragon Palace, is expected to reach the level of the old Dragon King. He has been in retreat for these years.
Now all matters in the Dragon Palace are in the hands of the Grand Duke. "
When Miao Tong heard this, she couldn't help but look at the package in her arms.
No wonder this big liar wants to get such beautiful clothes!
Prime Minister Gui said, and then said to Miaotong:
"The girl's master hates Fairy Yu?"
"Exactly."
Seeing Miaotong's admission, Prime Minister Gui showed a meaningful smile:
"So, no wonder the girl doesn't know about the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea."
"Um, does my master have any grudge against you?"
"It's hard to say whether it counts as a grudge or not."
"What do you mean it's hard to tell?"
"Girls, please don't pry into your elders' private matters."
"Ah, if you don't say it, don't say it. You say it and don't finish it. It's so annoying!"
Miao Tong grabbed her hair helplessly.
When Guicheng saw this, he just smiled and turned to Ye Ming:
"Mr. Shan Yuan is very unusual. I wonder who he is?"
"Without any family or sect, I am just an idle mountain man."
Seeing what Ye Ming said, Prime Minister Gui didn't believe it. He only thought that the other party was unwilling to reveal the details.
The group chatted with each other and came to the side hall of the Dragon Palace. Prime Minister Turtle walked outside the door and said respectfully inside:
"Princess, the guests have arrived."
A female voice came from the room:
"please come in."
Prime Minister Gui took the order, turned to Ye Ming and said:
"You two, the princess invites you."
Ye Ming was naturally unceremonious and strode in. Miao Tong followed curiously.
The rooms here are all designed according to the habits of aquatic animals, and the princess's room is no exception.
After the two came in, they saw a woman in her mid-twenties sitting on a stone throne handling documents made of fish bones.
This woman's appearance is not a stunning beauty, and of course, it is not ugly either.
He has a very strong aura of a superior person. Even if he is just sitting there, doing nothing or saying nothing, he can put great pressure on others.
Miaotong, who had jumped away, was obviously a little restrained when he saw this woman. The feeling was as if he had returned to his master again.
However, Ye Ming didn't feel anything at all, and everything was still as usual.
When the man who was reviewing the fishbone documents saw the two people coming in, he couldn't be indifferent. He put down his fishbone pen and looked at the two people.
"I am busy with official duties and have not been able to greet you in person. Please forgive me."
Ye Ming smiled and said: "It's easy. Once His Highness has finished what he is doing, he can make up for it by welcoming him in person."
When the woman heard this, she glanced at Ye Ming in surprise and couldn't help but smile:
"Your Excellency is an interesting person. Come and offer me a seat."
A dragon guard brought two stone chairs and invited the two of them to sit down.
Ye Ming was not polite and sat down casually.
In this way, the two sides began to talk formally.
After they exchanged names, they learned that the princess's name was Yuya.
Ye Ming looked at the pen holder on Princess Yuya's desk and said:
"Your Highness, this is a very good argument!"
Princess Yuya's eyes moved slightly, glanced at the pen holder, and replied:
"A gift from an old friend."
Instead of dwelling on this issue, Princess Yuya looked at Ye Ming and said:
"Is this guest really called Shan Yuan?"
"What's wrong?"
"Then why are you with this girl?"
"What does Your Highness want to say?"
"The one who forced the Pure Fox Clan to close their doors must be you, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Miao Tong, who had been sitting on the stone chair with some restraint, suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Ming with a look of shock.
"Is it you? You are actually..."
Seeing Miaotong's appearance, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Now you know you're afraid? How about it? Do you feel like you're trembling all over your body?"
Miaotong, who was originally shocked and frightened, suddenly felt a little afraid of this guy after hearing this.
Because no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match the vicious image described by the pure fox clan.
Princess Yuya said to Miaotong:
"You girl, I didn't even hide my name from you, you wouldn't even think..."
"There are so many people with the same name in the world, how do I know this is not the same name?
Besides, this guy's behavior is nothing like that big murderer..."
Miao Tong said, feeling a little guilty.
It seems that I am really a little too careless.
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, your relationship with the Pure Fox Clan is average.
I heard that there were wars before. Do you need to sympathize with them?
Besides, we've known each other for a while. Do you think I'm a bad person? "
Hearing this, Miaotong raised his head and made a reminiscence gesture:
"Yeah, you don't look like a bad person. Well, then it must be that the pure fox clan did something bad again, and you caught them, so you taught them a lesson, right?"
Hearing this, Ye Ming nodded repeatedly and said:
“Yes, yes, that’s it.
The pure fox clan is very bad, they do all kinds of evil and stir up trouble everywhere.
I was bullied very badly by them, but despite all my efforts, they only made it worse.
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I decided to teach them a lesson..."
On the side, Princess Yuya saw that Miaotong was being deceived. She coughed slightly and asked Ye Ming to stop deceiving, and said to Miaotong:
"You are Mingyu's disciple, right?"
"What Mingyu? My master's name is Henyu."
Miao Tong replied without thinking.
"Do you hate jade?"
Hearing this, Princess Yuya looked at the pen holder on the table again.
"So, your master has never mentioned me to you?"
"No, you haven't told me anything about the Dragon Clan in the South China Sea."
Princess Yuya heard this and said to Miaotong:
"Actually, your master and I have been friends for many years."
"Friends..."
Miaotong thought about it for a moment, then glanced at Princess Yuya, and then the light of gossip flashed in her eyes.
"Did you guys break up? What happened? Is it love that leads to hatred or something else?"
Seeing Miaotong like this, Princess Yuya smiled sweetly and said:
"you guess."
"Ah~~ I hate guessing the most. Can you stop guessing?"
Princess Yuya did not answer Miaotong's question, but turned to Ye Ming and said:
"I wonder what Mr. Shanyuan does here?"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "To be honest, the Nanhai Hai Clan is about to face a disaster.
I came here to save the lives of the Hai clan in the South China Sea. "
"Mr. Shanyuan, could he be joking? Our Dragon Clan in the South China Sea is stable and peaceful, with no worries. Why is there such a disaster?"
"Really? I wonder what His Highness thinks of the Mullet King?"
"This official is a bit difficult to deal with, but he also made an agreement with our clan not to invade each other."
"Is it based on the oath of heaven?"
"......no."
"That being the case, that means that if one day, this mullet king wants to break the agreement, it's just a matter of thought, right?"
"Although King Wuyu has the ability and background, our Nanhai Dragon Palace is not made of clay and paper. We can handle it on our own."
"Normally it's okay, but what if the other party has foreign aid?"
"foreign aid?"
"Yes, as far as I know, King Mullet has received strong support. If Nanhai Dragon Palace continues to stick to its old ways, I don't need to say more about what will happen, right?"
"I'm afraid your Excellency is a bit alarmist."
"This is called planning for a rainy day."
After saying this, Ye Ming said nothing more and sat leisurely on the stone chair.
Princess Yuya fell into silence.
After a long time, he spoke again:
"The Mullet King has a special status. Even if he wants to deal with us, we must wait for him to take action first before we can fight back. We cannot take the initiative to attack him."
Hearing this, Ye Ming sat up straight and asked curiously:
"Who is this Mullet King and why are you so cautious?"
Princess Yuya looked at Ye Ming, thought for a while, and then said:
"This matter should not be publicized casually, but I know that you are unusual, so I will inform you."
"I'm all ears."
"Actually, the identity of this Mullet King is not complicated. He is the fish in the pond of the former Guanyin Master."
"Master Guanyin's pet?"
"Yes, before leaving the Heavenly Palace, Master Guanyin had been practicing in the South China Sea.
Later, the Heavenly Palace left, and Master Guanyin followed him.
Only the mullet in his pond remained, and he was ordered to guard the South China Sea and rescue the living people.
In the beginning, this mullet really did his duty and worked conscientiously.
But as time passed, and seeing that the Heavenly Palace had not returned for a long time, he began to have other thoughts.
Gradually, the mullet who did good things in the past has become a nuisance in the South China Sea today.
Due to his special status, it is difficult for righteous people to get rid of him.
After all, although Tiangong has gone far away, it has not really disappeared. No one dares to say whether Tiangong will come back.
Very few people are willing to do this kind of thing to offend Master Guanyin.
Moreover, it is difficult for the small number of people who are not afraid of offending Master Guanyin to truly threaten this mullet king.
Probably because it has the former fish pond of Guanyin as the fundamental place, it is inherently invincible. "
"The fish pond is still protected by supernatural power?"
"Yes, the fish pond is surrounded by the Zen sounds of Guanyin's lectures in the past, and outsiders cannot approach it."
What Princess Yuya said surprised Ye Ming.
Unexpectedly, these gods have left the world for more than 1,500 years, and the things they left behind are still making waves.
It is true that the centipede is dead but not stiff.
This also reminded him that he must not underestimate the methods of these gods.
After learning about the Mullet King, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Your Highness is willing to say so much. It seems that he has long been dissatisfied with the Mullet King."
Princess Yuya admitted:
"Your Excellency is not often in the South China Sea, so you don't understand the threat that the Mullet King poses to us.
In fact, one of the very important reasons why my father has been in seclusion all year round is that he wants to be able to compete with the Mullet King. "
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"So, Your Highness is willing to accept your help?"
Princess Yuya glanced at Ye Ming and said:
“It’s not help, it’s cooperation.
Although I am in the Dragon Palace under the sea, I am not completely ignorant of things on the shore.
Mutual benefit means mutual benefit. Talking about unilateral assistance is an exaggeration. "
Ye Ming didn't feel embarrassed at all when his words were exposed, he just smiled and said:
"In that case, please ask Your Highness to help solve the 'blood-sucking moss' matter."
"It's easy to say. I will give the order right now and send a team of Yaksha to handle this matter."
Princess Yuya said, then picked up the fishbone pen and started writing orders.
Before I finished writing the first sentence, I heard a long conch sound...
...
