This undersea ancient country is extremely quiet, quiet to the point where the drop of a needle can be heard.

Perhaps I really saw it wrong just now? In general, such ancient countries that have been silent for years, even if some inexplicable events occur, Lin Feng doesn’t find it strange.

He walked directly towards the imperial palace of the ancient country, unsure if he could find the treasure vault, nor did he know if there was still treasure in the vault.

An undersea ancient country, if it truly contains treasure, it would likely be an astounding wealth, wouldn’t it?

Lin Feng arrived at the imperial palace, which was constructed magnificently, with palaces extending endlessly. Upon entering the palace, he first saw a grand hall.

This great hall should be equivalent to the "Audience Hall" in the Mortal World of the Human Clan.

The place where the Emperor holds the morning court.

Officials!

Arranged on both sides!

...

Lin Feng strolled around the Audience Hall and discovered a Jade Seal.

This Jade Seal itself is a mighty treasure, surprisingly at Divine Artifact Level, astonishing Lin Feng.

"Even the Jade Seal is placed on the imperial desk, as if the entire population of the ancient country vanished in an instant."

Lin Feng increasingly felt this ancient country was out of the ordinary, a vague sense of unease lingered in his mind.

Beibei and Dragon Rabbit were still carefree, running around in the grand hall.

They were still young; perhaps in their eyes, everything before them seemed very entertaining. Indeed, their age was a time for play.

Lin Feng left the hall and walked deeper inside.

If a palace has a treasure vault,

the vault is usually located deep within the imperial palace.

Eventually, Lin Feng found the location of the vault, a vast courtyard with an enormous hall approximately over three hundred meters high, covering more than forty acres.

The vault’s large door had been sealed for countless years.

Radiating a chilly sheen.

"This door is crafted from Nine Nether Cold Iron! Wow! That’s so extravagant; it’s the material for forging Giant Divine Weapons, yet it was made into such a door. With such materials, how many Giant Divine Weapons could be forged!?"

Upon seeing the black door, Lin Feng exclaimed in shock.

Divine Artifacts are divided into Virtual Divine Weapons, Divine Fire Weapons, True Divine Weapons, Heavenly God Weapons, Giant Divine Weapons.

Above these are Quasi-Emperor Weapons, Emperor Weapons!

Lin Feng’s Great Wilderness Battle Spear is a Giant Divine Weapon, extremely powerful.

Objects at the level of Giant Divine Weapons are absolutely significant Supreme Treasures, even if viewed among All Heavens and Myriads of Realms.

Few people can produce them.

The vault door of this undersea ancient country was crafted from Nine Nether Cold Iron that could make Giant Divine Weapons, indicating that this ancient country was undoubtedly powerful in its prime.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so lavish.

"Later, this door also needs to be removed; it must not be wasted."

Lin Feng muttered internally.

He pushed the door strongly.

Swoosh.

Just then, numerous bubbles appeared behind Lin Feng.

Amidst the bubbles, a flash of blue light.

Immediately after.

A woman appeared, striking at Lin Feng.

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from behind, Lin Feng turned and struck back.

Bang!

The two sides clashed, the woman was knocked away by Lin Feng, clearly, her attack on Lin Feng had a considerable gap in cultivation.

Lin Feng, swift as lightning, was instantly before the woman, ready to unleash a palm strike.

But upon seeing the woman, Lin Feng’s mouth hung open, his expression awash with shock.

This woman, with beautiful light blue long hair draped over her shoulders, had a slender, delicate figure and a face so breathtakingly beautiful it left one breathless.

The most touching to Lin Feng were her unbelievably pure, Mediterranean blue eyes, making it hard for anyone to harm her.

But what surprised Lin Feng the most wasn’t her extraordinary beauty.

It was that her lower body wasn’t human.

The lower body was slender, forming a perfect curve, it was a fish’s tail.

The woman before him was a mermaid.

Lin Feng had heard of mermaids before but had never seen one.

The Mermaid Clan is a very special race.

According to legend, mermaids are born in the deepest parts of the sea.

They are born from a mass of blue deep-sea waters.

And the Mermaid Clan only has women, no men.

Lin Feng had even read mermaid stories before.

The story was written like this:

Deep, deep under the sea, there was a majestic castle, home to six mermaid princesses, all exceedingly beautiful,

Especially the smallest princess, with her long golden hair, she was more beautiful than her sisters, and she loved to listen to their stories about the new things on the sea’s surface.

Therefore, the Little Princess often dreamed of one day seeing it for herself.

After waiting and waiting, on her fifteenth birthday, she quietly swam to the surface of the sea, where there was a large ship hosting a grand birthday party.

The people on the ship raised their glasses in celebration: "Prince! Happy Birthday to you!"

The prince was dignified, dashing, and handsome.

The Mermaid Princess was also captivated by him.

But...

Suddenly, "Whoosh!" a big wind blew and capsized the ship, causing the prince to fall into the sea, drifting on the surface.

"Oh no! If I don’t rescue the prince quickly, he will be in mortal danger!" So, the Mermaid Princess exerted great effort to save the prince and bring him to shore.

"Prince! Wake up!" the Mermaid Princess said, touching the prince’s hand.

At this time, the Mermaid Princess heard footsteps approaching, so she hid behind a rock. The person who arrived was a girl, and upon seeing the prince lying on the beach, she was greatly shocked. Under her careful care, the prince quickly regained consciousness.

The prince smiled at the girl and said, "Thank you! For saving my life."

The Mermaid Princess was heartbroken upon hearing this: "Prince, I am the one who saved you!"

The Mermaid Princess couldn’t forget the prince, but because she was a mermaid, she couldn’t get close to him. So, every night, she would swim to the castle and watch the prince from afar.

The Mermaid Princess said to herself: "I really want to become human!"

So, the Mermaid Princess sought the help of the witch to fulfill her wish.

The witch said: "I have a way to turn you into a human, but when your tail turns into legs, it will be as painful as walking on knives. Also, if the prince marries someone else, you will turn into foam and die."

"Moreover, in order to become human, you must pay me a price, you need to give me your beautiful, melodious voice."

"Alright! As long as I can be by the prince’s side, nothing else matters!"

Thus, the Mermaid Princess swam to the shore near the castle, drank the witch’s potion, and felt very uncomfortable before fainting. After an unknown period, the Mermaid Princess’s tail gradually split into two legs.

"Miss, are you alright?"

When the Mermaid Princess slowly opened her eyes, it was the prince before her; however, she couldn’t respond because she had given her voice to the witch.

The prince took the Mermaid Princess back to the castle and dressed her in splendid clothes.

"What a beauty!" Everyone in the castle admired the Mermaid Princess’s beauty. Even though the Mermaid Princess couldn’t speak or sing, her enchanting dance captured everyone’s attention, though no one knew she was enduring the pain in her feet to entertain the prince and the crowd.

The prince treated the Mermaid Princess like a sister, taking care of her meticulously.

One day, the prince took the Mermaid Princess to a neighboring country, the place where he had been rescued after falling into the sea. The prince was to meet that girl.

The prince said joyfully: "She is the one who saved my life, so I am going to marry her."

"No! No! Prince, I am the one who saved you!" screamed the Mermaid Princess, but the prince still couldn’t hear her.

The prince finally married the girl.

On the way back to their country on the ship, the Mermaid Princess wept sorrowfully. At this time, she heard her sisters’ voices from the sea: "To save you, we went to the witch and exchanged our hair for this treasure sword; use it to kill the prince, smear the prince’s blood on your legs, and you will become a mermaid again."

"You must summon the courage to do it, otherwise, by tomorrow morning, you will become foam and die."

The Mermaid Princess made up her mind and went into the prince’s chamber while he slept; but seeing the prince’s peaceful face, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

At dawn, the Mermaid Princess said to herself on the deck: "Prince! Goodbye."

So, the Mermaid Princess’s body slowly turned into many colorful bubbles.

The dawn’s light shone on the bubbles, while the figure of the Mermaid Princess seemed to be rising, fading in and out within the bubbles.

"Where has my lovely sister gone!" The prince was looking everywhere for the Mermaid Princess.

The Mermaid Princess, who had turned into air, just gazed at the prince, and with satisfaction, she flew into the deep pink clouds!

...

Of course, Lin Feng couldn’t verify the truth of this story.

But the story of the Mermaid Princess continued to be told.

When Lin Feng saw such a beautiful and touching mermaid himself, he couldn’t help but feel shocked and moved.

"So beautiful!"

Lin Feng exclaimed.

Yet the mermaid slapped towards Lin Feng, clearly aiming to take his life.

Lin Feng reached out, grabbed the mermaid’s slap with one hand.

Then with the other hand, he pressed the mermaid against the wall to keep her immobile.

"Despicable human, let me go."

The mermaid glared at Lin Feng fiercely.

"You can speak the human language?" Lin Feng was shocked.

But the mermaid immediately stopped speaking, staring coldly at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes.

The mermaid seemed to harbor deep hostility towards Lin Feng.

This made Lin Feng very puzzled. He asked, "I haven’t provoked you? Why do you want to kill me?"

"You despicable foreigners, trying every way to capture our Mermaid Clan sisters, none of you are good people."

This mermaid said coldly.

Human nature can often be greedy, and with mermaids so beautiful, they surely attract much interest.

For profit, many would indeed risk capturing mermaids and then sell them.

No wonder this mermaid harbors so much hatred towards members of other races.
