The temperature of the ice sea was extremely low, bone-chillingly cold, and not suitable for human survival. The two quickly surfaced, gasping for the icy air.
"Phew, I almost suffocated. What was that thing just now?"
Ming Tian said, pulling Yan Qingwan closer. Not far from them, a soul beast with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish tail also surfaced. It was the Sea Princess.
This Sea Princess was Hedika, who was thrown out by the Kamala Beast. She hadn't expected to crash into two humans, two human children, during her ejection.
"You..."
Looking at Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan embracing in the water, Hedika's face showed a strange expression.
"Sea Princess? Are you the Sea Princess?"
Although the two had never seen a Sea Princess, they knew the legend and characteristics. Hedika before them perfectly matched the description.
"That's right. I was thrown out by the Kamala Beast. Sorry for bumping into you."
Hedika said humbly.
A talking Sea Princess. Ordinary people would have already assumed it was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and run away in fear, but Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan's faces lit up with excitement at the sight of the real Sea Princess.
"Great! It's a real Sea Princess! So beautiful! Achoo—"
Yan Qingwan's small face was flushed. Their physical constitution couldn't withstand the frigid seawater for long.
Sea Princess Hedika looked at the two children with curiosity. A gentle light radiated from a blue gemstone hanging around her neck, shining on Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan. The two instantly felt warmth, as if the sea was welcoming them.
"How magical. Hello, Sister Sea Princess."
"I'm Hedika. Just call me Hedika."
"Sister Hedika, hello. We came to find the Sea Princess clan."
"Find us?"
Hedika was a little puzzled. How could two children appear in the core area of the extreme north? And they were looking for them?
"Yes, we're carrying the Heart of the Sea God. We want to talk to your clan leader about something. It's this."
With that, Ming Tian took out the Heart of the Sea God from his storage soul tool. As the azure Heart of the Sea God appeared, the sea instantly calmed down. Hedika's beautiful eyes widened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face as she covered her mouth.
"The, the Heart of the Sea God? Who are you? Where do you come from?!"
"This place isn't suitable for talking. Can you take us to your clan leader first?"
Ming Tian asked.
"Follow me."
Hedika's eyes became sharp. A gentle power enveloped Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan, forming a blue light shield around them. Hedika then pulled them into the deep sea.
Sona, who was searching for them, sensed the reappearance of the Heart of the Sea God. After confirming its location, she was also surprised and said:
"The Heart of the Sea God appears in the Sea Princess's territory? Could it be..."
Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan were inside the blue light shield, as if they were in a transparent sphere. They could breathe and see everything around them in the seawater: the gradient sea, swimming fish, and some bold soul beasts.
They followed Hedika, who swayed her fish tail with graceful curves, swimming towards the deep seabed, carrying the light shield containing the two of them.
Soon, the two children saw a group of buildings deep underwater. It was built on a seabed plain, like a palace. The buildings were all white, mostly long and slender, with spherical tops, resembling observation platforms.
There were also Deep Sea Yaksha holding tridents, strange merfolk with deer antlers, and other marine creatures that they couldn't name.
The creatures of the deep sea became respectful upon seeing Hedika, and they looked at the people inside the blue light sphere with particular strangeness.
How did humans enter their Underwater Palace?
"Hedika, you're back! You scared us to death! You were thrown out by the Kamala Beast, and we searched for you for miles without finding you. We were about to tell the clan leader to search for you."
"Eh? What is this?"
Hedika's companions gathered, looking at Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan inside the blue sphere with curiosity.
"I have important matters to discuss with the clan leader. I'll come find you later."
Hedika explained, then pointed at the sphere, and the sphere disappeared. Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan immediately held their breath. Hedika threw two blue pearls toward them, saying:
"Take the Breath Sea Pearls. They'll allow you to breathe freely in the sea, unaffected by water pressure and temperature."
Hearing Hedika's words, Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan quickly grabbed the pearls. The pearls felt cool and refreshing in their hands, and a gentle soul power entered their bodies. Then they felt that they could indeed breathe.
"Wow..."
Ming Tian opened his mouth, and a string of bubbles came out as he spoke, rising upwards. His hair was constantly floating upwards in the seawater.
For the two children, being able to breathe and speak in the seawater was very strange.
"Come with me."
Hedika beckoned to the two, and Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan followed her into the palaces.
Many chambers surrounded a large hall. This hall was a circular building with an archway. A straight road extended outwards from the archway, and there were even coral plants for decoration on both sides of the road.
Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan followed Hedika on this road. Of course, Hedika was swimming. They entered the archway, and as soon as they entered, they felt a sense of openness, a feeling of sudden spaciousness.
Inside the hall, it didn't seem any different from a human palace, giving a feeling of luxury. It was hard to believe that these things wouldn't be damaged in the seawater, as if there was some secret method.
A seat in the center appeared before the two of them, seemingly representing a very high status. There, a woman wearing a crystal crown was sitting.
The woman looked dignified and elegant, with a noble aura that made one want to prostrate themselves in worship. Her lower body didn't have a fish tail; she was wrapped in a shimmering, scaled robe. The small light pieces resembled fish scales, outlining the woman's extremely graceful curves. Her brown, wavy hair was draped behind her head, with one or two strands falling over her shoulders, also slightly curled. The woman's eyes were light brown, with slightly curled eyelashes, and the lines of her face were soft, giving a comfortable feeling. She was neither fat nor thin, with well-proportioned bone and flesh, delicate skin, and a charming gaze.
She held a scepter in her right hand, about two meters long, made of coral. The top had winding branches, with a small red bead embedded in the center.
The woman's white teeth parted slightly, and her voice was slow, but it had a calming effect.
"Hedika, how many times have I told you not to take your sisters out to play? This time, you were almost severely injured by the Kamala Beast again."
The woman's voice held a scolding tone, but also concern. Hedika respectfully bowed to the woman and said:
"Mother, it was this child's mistake, I will heed your teachings."
"Alright, you are my daughter, and also the next clan leader. Although in my eyes you are still a child and can play around, you must also be more cautious and pay attention to your image. In the future, you will be leading the entire Sea Princess clan."
"Yes."
"What's going on with the two children behind you? How did human children enter our Sea Princess clan?"
The Sea Princess clan leader looked at Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan behind Hedika, curiously sizing them up.
"Mother, they have the Heart of the Sea God. I didn't dare to delay and quickly brought them here."
"What did you say?! The Heart of the Sea God?!"
The clan leader's voice also rose a few decibels, and her face was somewhat surprised. The next moment, she was in front of Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan.
"How did you get the Heart of the Sea God? That is the Sea God's symbol. Shouldn't it be on Sea God Island? Show it!"
The Sea Princess clan leader exuded immense authority. Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan felt the pressure, and they both felt a little breathless.
Ming Tian took out the Heart of the Sea God, and the divine power of the sea god made the Sea Princess clan leader's spirit tremble.
"It really is the Heart of the Sea God, the noble Sea God."
Facing the Heart of the Sea God, the Sea Princess clan leader respectfully bowed.
"How did you obtain the Heart of the Sea God? And why are you here?"
The Sea Princess clan leader asked Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan.
"Noble Sea Princess clan leader, we..."
"My name is Tiana. Since you have obtained the Heart of the Sea God and come here, you are the Sea God's emissaries. However, you must explain the origins of the Heart of the Sea God, so I can believe you are not thieves who stole it."
Tiana exuded an undeniable authority. Ming Tian and Yan Qingwan exchanged glances and nodded, recounting the origins of the Heart of the Sea God, including how they obtained it.
Throughout the entire time, Tiana listened quietly, nodding occasionally.
"That's how it is. We decided to come to the Sea Princess clan and try our luck, to see if we could persuade you."
Ming Tian explained the entire sequence of events, looking at Tiana.
"So that's how it is. You are indeed very bold to come up with such a method."
"However, the Fate God Clan, the Three Fates Goddesses, we still don't want to be at odds with them. After all, they..."
Tiana was about to say something when a Sea Princess outside the hall came in and said:
"Clan leader, the Fate God Clan, Sona, has come to see you, saying she has something to discuss."
