Chapter 304: Mermaids and the Sea of ​​Eternal Life

At the same time, in front of the Ryuyama Torii, a very small figure carrying a backpack and wearing a raincoat walked out of the Torii. The little guy who left the shrine without permission was Fujiwara Shinie.

Fujiwara Shinie opened the jade pendant barrier in the heavy rain, and the raincoat could completely block the rain. Within a few months, she had become a first-level practitioner.

Fujiwara Shinie stepped on the puddles and asked her companions behind her with great interest.

"Zhu, we are going to take the Shinkansen to Maebashi City, right?"

Kiryu Tsune fiddled with the map on his phone in his backpack, and corrected himself after he understood it.

"You're wrong. We took the Shinkansen to Utsunomiya City."

Fujiwara Shinie smiled foolishly and looked wise.

"Of course I know, I just want to test you. From this moment on, our great adventure begins. The goal is to help Zhui find his mother."

"Hmm."

The two little guys took small steps to stop a taxi, folded their raincoats and put them in their backpacks, and then said to the waiting driver.

"Uncle driver, please go to Tokyo Station."

The middle-aged driver looked around and saw that there was no adult accompanying them, so he asked in confusion.

"Little friend, where are the adults in your family?"

"My parents are already waiting for Shin-e at Tokyo Station. Please, driver, please drive faster."

Although the middle-aged driver was more suspicious, he still drove away obediently under Kiryu's charm. The two of them left without alerting the miko guarding near the torii gate, and even the barrier did not react.

A few minutes later, Lingji led the shrine team back to the shrine and hurriedly soaked her sister in the dragon spring.

As the dragon spring moisturized and restored Suzuka Gozen's body, the pure-blooded dragon's body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon her pretty face, full of heroic spirit, opened her tired eyes.

Suzuka Gozen instinctively drew her sword out of caution, but she was unable to do so due to weakness all over her body.

However, when he saw his sister in front of him with a worried look on her face, he finally showed a look of relief and said.

"Lingji, have you been doing well these past few months since you left the Sea of ​​Eternal Life?"

When Ling Ji heard her sister's first words of concern for her, and then looked at her seriously injured body, she couldn't help but hold her sister's hands with tears in her eyes.

"I'm fine. I've been eating and sleeping well during this period, and my strength has become stronger."

After hearing this, Suzuka Gozen slowly sat up. The sister in her sight had indeed become stronger. She was also surprised by the existence of Longquan. She could find that Longquan had special recovery ability for dragon blood.

"Can you tell me what happened during the time you and Longque were away? And where is the guy who dared to kidnap my sister while I was away? Doesn't he dare to come to see me?"

"."

Lingji hesitated for a moment but decided to confess. In her current situation, it was impossible for her to hide the fact that she was her only blood relative.

"Sister, Longque is dead."

Suzuka Gozen raised her eyebrows, and then asked in a deep voice, Ryūque was very powerful, why did he die in this world.

"Who killed him?"

Ling Ji took a deep breath and explained slowly.

"The priest of the Dragon King Shrine, my husband."

Suzuka Gozen was first puzzled because she had never heard of the name of Ryukun Shrine. Then she was shocked by the word "husband" and asked with frowned brows.

"Lingji, what happened to you? Why didn't you inform me of your marriage? Isn't the blessing of your family important to you?"

"Sister is not what you think. A lot of things have happened in the past few months."

As Lingji recounted her experiences over the past few months, Suzuka Gozen's heart became heavy. She had never expected so many things to happen. As for Nagayama Yuzuru, who Lingji had praised, she was skeptical.

If it is really as good as Ling Ji said, then why didn't they inform the people of the Sea of ​​Eternal Life? The marriage of mermaids is the most sacred event. They are faithful to each other and never change. Many mermaids may even sleep together if their partner dies.

There is no mermaid who doesn't want the blessings of her family and even her own people on her wedding day. She can see that Ling Ji has lost her virginity, so it is an established fact that she feels disgusted with the man her sister is talking about.

Suzuka Gozen's nose twitched slightly, and she suppressed her emotions and spoke softly, making it impossible to tell what she was feeling at the moment.

"Ling Ji, let me meet your husband. I'm curious whether he is really a real dragon."

Suzuka Gozen is a pure-blooded dragon with a pair of antlers. She is the closest thing to a real dragon in the world, so she really doesn't believe in a man who claims to be a real dragon.

Lingji hugged Suzuka Gozen's arm and tried to persuade her.

"Sister, you and Yuzuru have similar personalities. I hope you can be more tolerant when the time comes. I don't want you to have conflicts."

"Don't worry, I won't hurt my "brother-in-law"."

Lingji's lips moved, and she finally said what she believed to be the truth. "I don't think you are a match for Yuzuru, especially when you are injured."

"."

Suzuka Gozen had nothing to say about this. Even though her sister had married and had a family, she had not changed in some aspects. So she reached out and touched the other's head. The relationship between the two sisters was not as harmonious as it is now. Especially in childhood, they could be described as hostile to each other.

The Sea of ​​Eternal Life is an ocean that grants mermaids immortality. It is mysterious and beautiful. Legend has it that this is a world created by the Dragon God and later inhabited by them, the descendants of the Dragon God. Of course, they don't know whether it is true or not.

However, beneath the calm surface of the Sea of ​​Eternal Life, there are actually undercurrents. Without the power of the tides to balance it, the Sea of ​​Eternal Life would become a perpetually frozen sea, with thousands of miles of ice becoming a dead end for all living things.

The only being in the Mermaid Kingdom who has the ability to control the complete tidal force is the Mermaid Queen.

Every mermaid queen is a pure-blooded dragon from her ancestral lineage, so the mermaid kingdom is a queen system. Each generation of queens will only give birth to one pure-blooded dragon descendant, who is the future queen. The queen's other children will only be mermaids, and at most their talents will be better than those of ordinary mermaids.

Even though a pure-blooded dragon is not a god, it possesses tidal power comparable to that of a sea god, and is the natural king of the ocean.

Suzuka Gozen and Lingji grew up in such an environment. As a dragon, Suzuka Gozen was naturally loved and expected. She received the best education and the strictest treatment since childhood.

The young Suzuka Gozen envied her sister very much because she could play happily with her friends. It was obvious that she didn't know about Lingji's troubles.

Lingji is the queen's only daughter. People around her often compare her and her sisters, so she is unwilling to be treated differently by her mother, but her mother just wants her to grow up happily.

The two sisters grew up envious of each other, and that's how they should have grown up, but their father changed everything.

As the queen's spouse, every time he makes the queen pregnant, he will lose his life that should have been immortal. Even a seventh-level male merman can only make the queen pregnant three times at most, and then he will die of old age and turn into a pile of dust.

Their father was unwilling to lose his eternal life, so he killed his wife, took away her power, and hunted down his daughter who had the blood of a dragon.

When there were no more pure-blooded dragons in the Sea of ​​Eternal Life, he himself became a mixed-blood dragon, transforming from a male to a female, replacing his wife as the queen, and even mastering nearly complete tidal power.

The mermaids are such a magical race. Those who break through to the top level can have the ability to change their gender freely once, so Lingji grew up with her new mother.

The subsequent plot is very simple. Under the new queen's extreme governance, the mermaid kingdom became increasingly weak until the disaster came.

The new queen's nearly perfect tidal force was ultimately incomplete. Hundreds of years later, the long-accumulated permafrost finally erupted, and the entire sea area, whether on the surface or on the seabed, turned into immortal permafrost.

When disaster struck the Sea of ​​Eternal Life, Suzuka Gozen, who was supposed to be called Ryuji, returned. She learned human nature from humans, so she gained more submission from the mermaids than her "mother", and naturally became the queen.

Unfortunately, the disaster at that time was no longer something that she, a half-baked pure-blooded dragon, could stop. Ling Ji stepped forward at the most critical moment.

Ling Ji, who never gave up, tried to control the power of tides since she was a child. Then she succeeded. Her singing became an ability to almost perfectly control the tides. Then the two sisters joined forces to eliminate the disaster and became real sisters. They are still very close today, hundreds of years later.

On the Longquan River, they didn't say anything private to each other. When they felt tired, they just hugged each other and fell asleep under the embrace of the Longquan water.

After an unknown amount of time, the entire shrine suddenly became restless, and Yachiyo Karin hurried over to report.

"Oh no, Lady Lingji, Lady Queen, Xinhui and Zhui are missing."

Two beautiful figures stood up from the spring, and water droplets fell back into the spring along their hair, creating a picture of beauties emerging from their bath.

Lingji frowned and asked.

"How did Shin-e and Tsui disappear? It shouldn't be possible for the two of them to leave the shrine."

"We found disguised dolls in their room, making everyone think they were taking a nap. As for how they left, no one knew, and all the guards didn't find any trace of them."

Ling Ji couldn't help rubbing her head, she felt a little headache.

No one in the entire shrine would dislike these two little guys, and Ling Ji also likes to get along with them, so she can't help but get anxious. At the same time, she felt a little worried. It is impossible for the two little guys to walk out of the shrine without being noticed, unless someone arranged it, that is, there is a mastermind behind it?
Regardless of the truth, as the temporary leader of the shrine, Lingji needs to prepare for the worst.

"The entire shrine is on alert. Send out all the spare personnel to inform them that they may encounter the enemy. Also send more people to guard Kaori and the others' rooms. No one can disturb them."

Lingji thought about it and said another sentence.

"Notify Ryugu, we need backup. And if you can't find anyone within 30 minutes, call Yuzuru back. We need him."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

Suzuka Gozen asked softly.

"Need my help?"

"Sister, it's important for you to recover from your injuries. I don't know why I have a bad feeling about this."

Suzuka Gozen stepped forward and patted her sister on the forehead.

"If you need anything you can rely on me, I'm your sister."

The Ryujun Shrine began to operate like a war machine. Many land monsters and priestesses spread to the surrounding areas and even contacted the husband for official investigation and monitoring. Now the Ryujun Shrine has this power.

There are also groups of sea monsters entering Longshan along the Hushan River, unnoticed and ready to catch the enemy off guard at any time.

In just half an hour, several sixth-level warriors were hidden in Longshan Mountain. Even the formation began to overclock when no one noticed. Groups of people searched Longshan, trying to find suspicious people who were amiss.
