Chapter 2394: The Ocean Races’ Number One Beauty

The women were already extremely nervous after coming to this unknown age and world, and they'd decided to come for the task of resolving Ji Xiaoxi’s innate Cruel Poison Constitution. Zu An knew that if he told them they couldn't return, they wouldn’t be able to help but feel despair. After all, they were still quite young. Some of them hadn’t experienced many frightening events yet. Receiving too much bad news at once would definitely affect their mental state.

Of course, Zu An himself understood how important it was to not despair and find a way forward. If he could come to this age, there had to be a way to go back. All he needed was to spend some time looking for a solution. He returned the Nature Jade case back into the Brilliant Glass Bead and continued to fly toward the Ocean races' territory.

Along the way, he sensed the abundant world ki. The magnificent mountain ranges gave off a natural feeling of pressure. From time to time, he could even see some mountains reaching beyond the clouds. Occasionally, he caught a glimpse of some powerful beasts that he had never seen before between the peaks. Zu An once again sighed in amazement at the richness of the ki in this world. In comparison, it was no wonder that the upper limit of their Cultivation World had been the earth immortal rank.

As the endless ki flowed through his meridians, Zu An could feel that his own cultivation seemed to be rising rapidly as well. He had killed many powerful enemies recently, and not too long ago, he had even killed the powerful Monster Lord as well. Even though the Cultivation World had already started to be merged with the Underworld, it was still in its early stages. There hadn’t been enough time for it to support his rapid cultivation increase yet.

But this world was different. The endless ki removed all worries in that regard. He could clearly sense that his experience bar that had been stopped at level 79 was rising, and soon, he was at the threshold of Level 80. He was now just a single step away, although he had a feeling that this last step wouldn’t be so easily taken, and that some special opportunities could be needed.

He took out a strange sphere that was covered in bumps. It was the Demonic Motherbug Core that he'd received after killing the Demonic Motherbug. It had a special ability to save up power whenever he killed enemies that were stronger than himself. His experiences in the Monster World had allowed him to accumulate power twelve times so far. But until now, he hadn’t needed to release the accumulated power yet, not even when he was fighting against the Monster Lord.

Now that he was in this mysterious and powerful world, however, perhaps the time to use this item would finally come. He returned it to his storage, feeling a bit more confident.

...

Zu An continued to fly east just like that, and quickly arrived at the sea. He discovered that both the land and the sea were much larger than he remembered. This world was even larger than what resulted after he merged the Cultivation World with the Underworld.

Just what had such a powerful world experienced for it to decline to such an extent? Zu An felt a vague sense of unease as he thought of that. Still, he had more important things to worry about.

He searched the area based on the location of the Dragon Palace he remembered. Even though the world was greatly changed, he could still vaguely gauge its direction. Looking at the distinctive towns scattered across the islands, he couldn't help but remember his experiences with Shang Hongyu. She really was a beautiful and fiery fish!

A warm smile appeared on his face as he dove into the sea. He had the water-controlling power of the Crown of the Ocean Deity, so entering the Dragon Palace was naturally not as difficult as before.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Dragon Palace, the powerful Dragon King had just seen off a group of guests with a big smile. Soon after, a subordinate entered and said, “Reporting to the Dragon King, the Mermaid Queen wishes to meet with you.”

The Dragon King was really happy. He quickly sorted out his clothes and picked up a scallop mirror to examine himself, saying, “Quickly invite her in!”

There were many different races in the ocean, but the most powerful of them all was naturally the Dragon race. Meanwhile, the Mermaid race almost never married outside of their own race. The other races didn’t stand a chance when it came to marrying one.

Furthermore, the Mermaid Queen was publicly acknowledged as the number one beauty from the Mermaid race. No matter which man it was, as long as he saw her just once, he would yearn for that stunning appearance day and night. Even women inevitably ended up falling for her beauty. That was why she had already become an object of desire for all the most powerful beings in the world. Even the insufferably arrogant Fiend Emperor had publicly declared that he was an admirer of hers. Of course, the Ocean races’ most powerful being, the Dragon King, had also pursued her for many years.

But even though the Mermaid Queen seemed to treat everyone kindly, she had never shown anyone the slightest bit of special favor. Many people had even begun to wonder if she didn’t even like men at all.

The Dragon King sneered inwardly as he thought of that. The Mermaid Queen was a woman among women, so how could she possibly not like men? It simply had to be that her standards were too high, so no man caught her attention. Fortunately, the Fiend Emperor had already died and he, the Dragon King, was of the Ocean races himself. As the saying went, the pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first. He was probably the only one who could take this beauty home.

Just then, heavenly music resounded and a stunning beauty slowly walked in. The entire palace seemed almost to become a bit brighter. All the servants looked at the entrance in a daze. Countless words of admiration appeared in their minds, but not a single one of them dared to utter a thing for fear of blaspheming against the Ocean races’ most beautiful woman.

The Mermaid Queen wore a long ocean blue dress that perfectly outlined her body. Her hourglass figure swayed gently, the curves around her waist seemingly formed from heavenly dao divine runes. Just the slightest movement of her body was enough to be considered the world’s most beautiful scene. She didn’t wear shoes, as there were no shoes that had the right to wrap around her perfect, snow-white feet. A ripple of water appeared with every step she took, forming a lotus-shaped outline.

It really was just like the famous line of poetry,

lotus blossoms with each step!

Even though this wasn’t the first time he had seen her, the Dragon King was still nervous. This woman really was just too beautiful, without flaw from top to bottom. The Dragon King's gaze shifted to her chest. Even though his body was incredibly tough and sturdy, he still seemed to feel a bit of blood rushing to his nose.

The Mermaid Queen's blue dress was transformed from her scales, so it fit extremely well, wrapping perfectly around her chest and exposing her stunning collarbones and captivatingly deep cleavage. If this outfit were to be worn by an ordinary woman, it would only seem gaudy. But when she wore it, it actually looked pure and holy, as if it represented nature itself.

Both the Fiend races and the Ocean races dressed more daringly than the humans. However, there was probably no one who could combine the aesthetics of boldness and elegance as well as the Mermaid Queen.

“I greet the Dragon King!” The Mermaid Queen bowed slightly. This was the Ocean races’ strongest individual, after all, so the proper etiquette was still important.

There was a charm to her voice that made many of the palace maids practically go limp. They were all full of envy. If their voices sounded like hers, that alone would be enough to make the Dragon Palace’s guards do their bidding.

“The queen needs not be so overly courteous.” The Dragon King quickly moved over to support her up. However, the Mermaid Queen raised her body ahead of time, not allowing him to touch her arm. The Dragon King retracted his hand awkwardly, asking, “I wonder what the queen came here for today?”

“Did the Dragon King really just meet with the monster emissary?” The Mermaid Queen stared at him with a scorching gaze.
