Carol's eyes widened. "Hostages?"

"Besides his retainers, I can't think of anyone else! His Majesty Nellis wouldn't covet the Queen's beauty and use his daughter to approach her!"

"Fortunately, the queen who was exposed was not a vicious wretch. She raised Mira very well, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."

"Based on the above, it is preliminarily determined that the situation in Zebel is very bad, and they urgently need a new force to change the status quo."

"In addition, there is intelligence: Mira has a twin sister, but that sister has a health problem and has turned into some kind of sea monster. In other words, Mira is the only one suitable to inherit the Kingdom of Xebel. The situation in the neighboring country Atlantis is also not optimistic. The queen is missing and Prince Orm is in charge of the government. If I were this prince, I would definitely use all means to force Mira to get engaged and conquer the entire Xebel. Beauty and power, killing two birds with one stone, a golden opportunity."

Carlo was shocked, staring at Xu Fu with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

How did you find out about this?

Xu Fu smiled coldly, a flash of bloodlust in his eyes, and said...

“This is the depths of the ocean, the territory of Atlantis. How could I possibly bring you here on an adventure without any preparation? In fact, the entire fortress is under Ava’s surveillance.”

"Let me tell you another little secret: I've learned the language of Atlantis, but I haven't shown it yet. Some things lose their meaning if you say them out loud."

Carol gaped, at a loss for words: the familiar Xu Fu was back. Just like before, he had everything under his control. Whether someone was friend or foe didn't matter; everything was arranged clearly, leaving no room for error.

Since he has already arranged everything, there is no need for me to blindly worry about it.

"By the way, when did you learn Atlantean?"

"last night."

A look of doubt crossed the girl's face: Did you really have time last night?

Xu Fu snorted: "As long as I'm with you, that's enough."

"..."

"Xu Fu-Xiao, you bastard, you son of a bitch, you...you...you scoundrel."

Carlo roared like an enraged tiger. Xu Fu realized that the situation was bad and ran away. He hadn't taken two steps when the Star Gazing Queen, who had transformed into her battle form, blocked his way.

With a helpless expression, Xu Fu raised his hands and said.

"I was wrong, Your Majesty, please forgive me this time! I will never do it again!"

Carol reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Xu Fu's waist, gritting her teeth and muttering, "Last night you not only tossed and turned all night, but you were also absent-minded. What kind of man are you?"

"You bastard, I'll beat you to death, for such a deep grudge."

The girl was very angry and started pinching and squeezing him, which made Xu Fu laugh out loud, grinning and making quite a scene.

When Mela returned and saw this scene, she couldn't help but show an envious expression. She had also dreamed of such love, but unfortunately, as a princess of Zebel, many things were not up to her.

"What do you do?"

"Nothing."

Carol tucked her hair behind her ear and squeezed Xu Fu's arm hard before letting go. "We had a little argument over something trivial, but it's over now."

Xu Fu wrinkled his nose, nodded, and forced a smile as he spoke.

"Has Your Highness prepared anything fun?"

"you guessed right."

"Mia, bring the box here."

Mira opened the stone box, pointed to what was inside, and laughed.

"On the left is a high-end diving suit made of deep-sea dragonfish skin, which can withstand the pressure of seawater. On the right is a breathing apparatus. With these two items, you can ride a seahorse and swim without restraint."

"Come on, put it on quickly, I'll show you the underwater scenery."

"Then welcome!"

Xu Fu said "thank you," grabbed Carol's hand, and walked towards the room. She resisted several times but couldn't break free. He got angry and pressed her hand down hard.

Da Hua's lips twitched slightly, but she couldn't help but slap him twice.

I wish you were shameless, I wish you weren't the wind, I wish you were off-key... Now look what's happened, I'll have to sleep in the study again!

After the two left, Mela walked up to Laura and asked her a question.

"What did they say?"

"I'm not sure. Mr. Xiao deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was discussing something, and then Miss Ferris got angry and spun him around a few times."

Recalling the previous scene, Laura couldn't help but show a puzzled expression: "Princess, is this something that should be monitored? Forgive my bluntness, but this Earthling is just an ordinary person without armor. Any Atlantean soldier could defeat him."

Mela shook her head seriously: "Don't underestimate them, and don't ignore them either. This is my father's order."

Laura hesitated for a few seconds, then said in a low voice.

5.7 "I heard that the Fishman Kingdom is delaying the signing of the treaty because Prince Orm wants to marry you to him. Is that true?"

Mera tensed up and exclaimed, "Who said that?"

"everybody knows."

A bitter look appeared on Lola's face: "His Majesty doesn't seem to mind this marriage. If you really get engaged to Prince Orm, what will happen to Zebel? We finally created our own country. Are we really going to go back and accept their rule again?"

Mela remained silent. She had grown up with Orm since childhood, and the more she learned about him, the more she wanted to escape. Like his father Orvax, Orm had an extremely cruel side hidden beneath his calm exterior. He was an ambitious and successful man who wanted to unify the seven sea kingdoms, then conquer the land and restore Atlantis to its former glory.

Last year's fishing boat incident was a test, and there will be many more such tests in the future.

Chapter 1360 Unbelievable

The longer Xu Fu stayed at the bottom of the sea, the more he could feel the wonder of this world.

The diversity of species and the complexity of ecosystems are beyond imagination; it's like another world, a new world never before experienced.

The feeling of riding a seahorse and swimming in the deep sea at a depth of thousands of meters is unbelievably wonderful.

Paul the seahorse beneath him seemed to sense Xu Fu's excitement. He cheered and spun 360 degrees, with Mela and Carol following closely behind. The three of them passed through a group of halibut and, under the watchful eyes of a great white shark, crossed a seaweed "green plain." Mela sang loudly, and soon a group of fish swarmed over, surrounding the three of them.

Xu Fu stretched out his hand, and a drop of water fell into his palm. His ugly face curled up into a ball, looking indescribably strange.

Suddenly, the fish darted out and fled at an extremely fast speed.

A colossal, mountain-like shadow appeared before them—it was a blue whale. Its long, piercing cry echoed in their ears, mournful and desolate, as if from a distant past, carrying the loneliness of a lost world.

Mela dismounted from her horse, rode up to the blue whale, her mouth slightly open as if she were saying something, but after a while, she leaned closer and said with a smile.

“This child is lost and hopes we can help him find his tribe. In return, he is willing to ride us.”

"Riding a whale?"

Xu Fu was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly turned on the sink to blow bubbles, "Is this really possible?"

"It's a good boy and won't cause trouble."

Carol clutched her chest and sighed heavily. "Mera, I really envy you, being able to live underwater in such a beautiful place."

Mela smiled, pursing her lips.

"Come with me, there's a strong current inside the whale's head, you'd better follow me."

The three of them left the seahorse and sat down between the blue whale's eyes. Carol put her arm around Mira's waist, Xu Fu sat beside her, and Mela whispered something. The blue whale let out a joyful cry, its tail swaying and creating a spiral of water.

"Damn it!"

Xu Fu made a mistake and was swept away by the current. Mei La reached out and pulled him back, saying...

"Are you okay?"

Xu Fu shook his head blankly. He felt a strong jolt coming from below him, which excited him both physically and mentally.

whale

The old man really is riding a whale!

...

The eastern hall of the underwater fortress is where the Fish-Man Kingdom's defenses are located.

Lord Altaïr raised his scepter, and the ocean currents surged, forming spiraling walls of water around them, blocking the spread of sound and obscuring any prying eyes.

"Camille, tell me, where is Princess Mela?"

Camille, a fisherman who looked like a koi fish, bowed and said, "Her Highness the Princess left the fortress this morning with two land people. It seems she is going to the seabed."

"Truly confident: to still be in the mood to swim in the kingdom of fish."

The fisherman chimed in, "It seems Princess Mela prefers land people?"

Altaïr's lips curled slightly, revealing an indescribable sarcasm: "Those whom Her Majesty the Queen raised all yearn for the land, except for Heim, of course."

This statement seemed to make a lot of sense, but everyone was puzzled and couldn't understand its meaning.

Camillos muttered to himself.

“Master, I still don’t understand why we’re challenging the land people. According to intelligence, the land people are extremely powerful. Even Maria, who is known as the first female warrior, is no match for them. With such strength, we may not be able to win.”

Altaïr silently shook his head.

“Neither the cause nor the result matters; the challenge is merely an excuse.” He paused, then sighed silently. “You’ve all heard about what happened at the border!”

The people gathered together suddenly changed their expressions, each clenching their fists, their faces filled with unspeakable anger.

Artenaar continued.
