Carol's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly said.

"Give my regards to them."

Mela smiled and nodded, about to speak, when someone else spoke, and the expressions of those around her immediately changed: King Nellis looked distressed, and the guards gripped their weapons, their faces reflecting unspeakable shame and anger.

Xu Fu frowned slightly; something was wrong, and

"What did they say?"

Mela shook her head slightly. She stepped out of the bubble and began talking to the person she was talking to. Judging from his expression, he was very angry. After a while, the fish-like guy actually walked into the bubble and stood in front of Xu Fu. He didn't even know what he said, but suddenly he raised his trident.

At this moment, Xu Fucai realized that the person speaking to him was challenging him.

What's the situation with (Qian Hao)?

I am a guest, visiting the host's home, yet I am being challenged?

Mela was furious, her expression contorted, but the fisherman ignored her, staring intently at Xu Fu.

Carol squinted and deliberately lowered her voice.

"Should we kill him?"

Xu Fu shook his head slightly and turned to Mela: "What is this fishman saying?"

Mela smiled wryly, "The representatives of the Fishman Kingdom want to challenge you after learning that you defeated Maria."

“Mary is lifted up.”

"The one you severely injured is the captain of the Princess Guard, the first female warrior in Zebel."

That's it

Typical diplomatic language; of course, it's still unclear what exactly happened.

Carol retorted angrily, "We're here on a trip, not to fight!"

She wasn't afraid, but rather overwhelmed by the suddenness of the situation: she was completely unaware of what was happening, and receiving a phone call at the entrance—even from a national representative—seemed entirely abnormal.

Chapter 1357 The Princess's Favor

The fish-men's actions created a very awkward situation.

Xu Fu and Carol were, after all, guests of King Zebel. To summon guests as soon as they appeared at the door was a slap in the face to the king.

The guards were furious and wanted to point fingers at the fish-men.

Mela kept communicating with the representatives of the Fish-Man Kingdom, trying to change their decision, but to no avail.

Seeing that things were getting increasingly wrong, Carol frowned and asked...

"How to do?"

"We are guests, and whether we accept or refuse, we need to know the host's thoughts."

"Mera won't accept it."

Xu Fu was stunned: "How did you know?"

Carol asked in a low voice, "She's a kind person."

Xu Fu remained silent. Carol was a Star Sapphire Queen with the power of love. She could sense the fluctuations in other people's thoughts and even influence them to a certain extent. She said that Mela was kind, so she must be right, at least for now.

As expected, after unsuccessful attempts at communication, Mera picked up the trident and, to everyone's astonishment, placed it before the representative of the Fish-Man Kingdom.

"Princess, no!"

Laura shouted, but it was too late.

The trident is the primary weapon and national symbol of Atlantis. When an Atlantean places a trident in front of you, it means that a battle has begun.

You can show determination, but you'll be branded a coward, or you can face it with life or death.

Mela is the princess of King Zebe 830. She is of a superior race, and no one is qualified to challenge her. Yet now she has handed the trident to two local bullies.

Nilius clenched his fists, staring at the face of the fishman kingdom's representative: if he dared to agree, a bloody battle was likely to break out.

The situation is escalating, and if it continues like this, it could very well end badly.

Xu Fu sighed, grabbed the trident handed to him by the fishman, and slammed it hard on the ground.

when!

The crisp sound of the impact echoed in all directions. Everyone turned their heads at the same time and saw the trident embedded in the ground. They couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief: This person had actually agreed.

Mela could not hide the bitterness in her heart.

“Xu Fu, you shouldn’t have done this. This is Zebel’s kingdom.”

Xu Fu laughed: "We have a tradition of making friends through martial arts. Since this Mr. Fishman wants to see the power of the landlord, how can I refuse? However,..." He stopped abruptly and said in a deep voice.

"This is my first time underwater, and I'm not familiar with underwater combat. If possible, please organize another fight in three days."

Mira's expression was incredibly complex, a mixture of gratitude, apology, and indescribable helplessness. After the request was relayed, the merfolk unsurprisingly agreed.

Three days is just the right amount of time; they can settle down comfortably and then seek out powerful merman warriors to join the battle.

After this little incident, the guards' gazes changed slightly; the princess's guards no longer looked at the two of them as if they were enemies.

Xu Fu didn't care about these things. Under Mera's guidance, he visited one "military fortress" after another. It has to be said that the Atlantean culture has a unique charm. Their murals are exquisite and magnificent. The war between the gods and sea monsters depicted in the paintings gives people an immersive illusion.

They longed for a sea god, claiming to be a descendant of the gods, and the image of Poseidon appears in many murals.

There is no concept of time underwater. Before they knew it, the twelfth night had arrived. Mela shoved the two of them into the next room, which was filled with fish skins and seaweed.

"I made them in human form, I don't know if you'll like them."

Carol couldn't help but ask.

Don't you sleep in beds?

Mera shook her head: "Seawater is the best mattress."

Carol suddenly remembered that the Atlanteans lived underwater for many years, and their bodies had long since become one with the seawater, but people on land did not, as the water pressure thousands of meters deep was unbearable for anyone.

Xu Fu plopped down on the bed, his whole body immersed in water, not to mention the sofa covered in fish skin and seaweed was quite soft.

"You all rest. Let me know if you need anything, and I'll be nearby."

Mela nodded slightly and left the room.

As soon as the door closed, Carol pounced on Xu Fu, grabbing his collar with both hands, staring intently at him, and said...

"Do you have feelings for the princess?"

Xu Fu was at a loss: "(bbfh) Don't say that, how could that be?"

"Don't try to fool me. If you had no ulterior motives, why would you accept the challenge from the Fishman Kingdom for her sake? Don't think I didn't notice. After that incident, Mela started to treat you much better, and even started taking care of your daily needs."

Xu Fu tore open his shirt, revealing his pectoral muscles.

"To show my sincerity, I am willing to open my heart and let you observe my emotional fluctuations to see if I have other ideas."

Carol gave a wry smile and rested her head on Xu Fu's chin.

"You know what? My superpower works on everyone except you."

Xu Fu was taken aback: "Why?"

“There’s a fire in your heart, and it will ignite whenever I touch it.” The girl looked up, her eyes somewhat blank. “I can only sense the emotional fluctuations you emit; I will never know what you are thinking.”

Xu Fu turned around and pulled her to his side: "I'll tell you now, I'll show you with my actions."

"No."

Carol panicked immediately, struggling and cursing under her breath.

"This is the seabed, and Mela is still nearby. You can't do this. Get up now."

Xu Fu ignored her and quickly stripped them both naked.

"At a depth of 4,300 meters, where we've never seen deep-sea fish before, we are honored guests of the king, lying on a bed woven from fish skin and seaweed. Such an opportunity only comes once in a lifetime. Do you think I would miss it?"

"Don't resist, little girl, resistance is useless."

The room was filled with the sounds of slapping and cursing, which were quickly replaced by sighs. The sounds rose and fell, lasted for a long time, and then gradually subsided.

The fortress's soundproofing was so poor that Mela couldn't help but be heard. All sorts of horrifying noises filled her ears, making her feel ashamed and parched, yet utterly helpless. She should have guessed that the soundproofing was set up elsewhere, so she wouldn't be tormented like this.

They are shameful for putting it in someone else's house.

Early the next morning, Xu Fu walked out yawning. The guards watching the princess stared at him with strange eyes, and some even targeted his lower body.

Xu Fu didn't care. He could look at whoever wanted to. He listened to the fence-sitters all night and didn't let anyone else look at him. But Carol's face turned red. No one paid any attention to her. She felt a discomfort on Xu Fu's lower back.

"Where is your princess?"

"Her Highness is making breakfast and said she wants you two to see the Atlantean kitchen."

Lieutenant Laura hopped around and said in a hoarse voice.

“Mr. Xiao, Ms. Ferris, this way please. I will escort you to the side hall.”

The people of Atlantis don't walk on the seabed; they swim. Xu Fu and Carol can't do that; they can only walk on the tall, magnificent buildings by carrying "conch shells."

To be honest, the underwater scenery was truly beautiful. The surrounding seawater was bubbling, and fish and shrimp swam by from time to time. Some deep-sea creatures also stopped and looked at the two of them curiously.
