Qi Yu looked around with curiosity.
Si Qing leaped onto the ground, reverting to her human form, and walked beside An Nuo and Shao Feng. "Is this the very bottom of the Endless Deep Sea? It feels like a paradise."
She truly never expected such a beautiful place to exist so deep beneath the sea.
"I've never understood what the Endless Deep Sea is for, why such a place exists? Does anyone live here?" Qi Yu also jumped to the ground and transformed into her human form, curiously reaching out to touch the trunk of a nearby tree.
"The Endless Deep Sea is where the barriers of the Four Seas converge," Yan Hua explained. "Beneath the vortex of this sea, the paradise we are in now is an immortal realm propped up by the spiritual power of our Four Ancestral Dragons."
As Yan Hua spoke, he casually waved his hand, and instantly, pavilions, towers, and even chairs and screens appeared not far away.
"So beautiful..." Qi Yu tilted her head back to gaze at the sky.
Even though it was all made of the same wood, why did the pavilions and towers built with magic here look so magnificent and exquisite?
"Then where should we go to find the North Sea Ancestral Dragon?" Si Qing squatted beside them, resting her chin on her hands, and yawned as she asked.
Yan Hua remained silent.
Instead, he picked up a teacup and suddenly hurled it at the surrounding barrier.
Soon, the surroundings began to shake violently.
The light flickered, dimming and brightening.
But at the same time, a black figure slowly walked over from not far away.
This person had pure black dragon horns, wore entirely black clothing, and had a blank expression. Their eyes were also black. Although they possessed a beautiful face, their aura was extremely cold, as if their mere passing could stir up a gust of chilling wind.
They quietly approached Yan Hua and the others. They glanced at the unfamiliar An Nuo, Shao Feng, and the West Sea Dragon King and his wife, then at Chu Xian, Jing Xiu, Qi Yu, and Si Qing.
Finally, their gaze settled on Yan Hua, Chen Xi, and Jin Yan.
"So annoying," Yu Yuan quietly met Yan Hua's gaze. "You know I hate this flickering light, yet you deliberately broke the barrier. Has anyone ever told you how truly annoying you are?"
"Yes, you just did," Yan Hua said, drinking his hot tea. "I asked you, what did you say to Chen Xi earlier?"
"Heh," Yu Yuan sneered, casting a glance at Chen Xi. "So you've come to his defense after he complained. That's why you're here."
Yan Hua raised his eyes to meet Yu Yuan's.
Spiritual energy began to swirl around them.
Qi Yu and Si Qing hid behind a pillar, peeking out.
Chen Xi, hiding behind them, peeked as well.
Jin Yan, unafraid of trouble, leaned against a nearby object and clapped his hands, egging them on. "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Qi Yu frowned, unable to resist turning to Chen Xi and asking, "Lord Chen Xi, are Master and Lord Yu Yuan always at odds like this?"
"Yes, they really are," Chen Xi squatted nearby, peeking out and observing. "As far as I can remember, their relationship has been very poor. That's also why I never told Yan Hua before."
"If you didn't tell him before, why did you tell him this time?" Si Qing squatted beside him, tilting her head in confusion.
"Eh, I just felt so angry thinking about it," Chen Xi pouted. "After keeping it to myself for a while, when he asked, I just couldn't hold it in anymore, so I told him."
Chen Xi's answer was so candid that Si Qing couldn't help but want to laugh.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the spiritual energy fluctuations around Yan Hua and Yu Yuan grew fiercer.
Jin Yan, enjoying the spectacle, cheered louder and louder.
Finally, Yan Hua put down his teacup, and Yu Yuan turned around. Both of them swung their dragon tail fans towards Jin Yan.
"Damn it, why are you hitting me? Are you sick?" Jin Yan jumped back a step, cursing.
Yan Hua frowned. "Noisy."
Yu Yuan's face was cold. "Deserves a beating."
