"And what if you attack my companions while I’m inside?"

Xuefeng disliked leaving anyone behind. He wanted everyone to go in with him just in case something happened so he can protect them.

The female messenger looked at Xuefeng surprised. "To think Sir worries more about your companions than yourself. I think Sir will be the one in danger in the presence of our Queen, hehe."

She giggled mysteriously and added, "Our Queen is in a good mood today so she ordered us to treat you as guests. Normally she would demand your companions to be locked up before she would be willing to meet with anyone."

’Don’t worry, we will be fine,’ Tianshi assured. ’I don’t see any future where they would attack us. We should be fine.’

’You should worry about yourself more,’ Nuwa warned. ’I don’t have a good feeling about this. Their Queen is definitely more powerful than them. Soul Arts are extremely dangerous, especially if one doesn’t know how to defend against them. If I wanted to kill you, my Soul Art is enough. You have to be careful.’

Xuefeng knew the risk was huge but they couldn’t pass on such an opportunity. Just as they talked about Bloodlines, they met with a powerful Race that could be beneficial to them. He could already imagine Nuwa as a beautiful naked Mermaid lying on the bed with him.

’I think I will be fine. I also have Ming and Ling with me to help me in case of an emergency,’ Xuefeng decided but his wives had another worry in their mind.

’I just hope this Queen doesn’t try to seduce our husband,’ Xiao Wen commented as she glanced at the female Mermaids ogling Xuefeng. ’Can you see how they are eating him alive with their gaze? How can women be so horny?’

Xuefeng rolled his eyes. His wives were the last who could make such a comment. If they could, they would Dual Cultivate with him till their bodies can’t move.

’How about we send Nuwa with you? Ask them to allow one person to follow you,’ Wuying suggested while the rest nodded in approval. She was also a Queen so she would know how to handle the situation.

"Is everything alright?" the female messenger questioned after Xuefeng turned silent so he turned back, applying his wives’ suggestion.

"I wish to take one more person with me," Xuefeng announced.

"I’m afraid that won’t be possible," the female messenger shook her head right away. "Our Queen was strict with her message. Only one person can enter and that is you, Sir. There are no exceptions."

Before Xuefeng could respond, she added, "Our Queen also said that if Sir is dissatisfied, your group is free to leave. If you continue to threaten us, our Race will retaliate with full force."

"Fine," Xuefeng agreed after a short pause but he made sure to leave them a warning. "You can lead me to your Queen but know that I can turn this whole basin into ice if I want to. Don’t try anything funny."

As if to display his power, hundreds of water pillars arose from the water surface, froze within seconds before turning back into the water. He had full control over the Water Element so in a water environment, no one stood a chance against him.

Whoa!

The female Mermaids were not even a bit scared and instead exclaimed in amazement. In return, the male Mermaids glared at Xuefeng openly, clearly jealous of his skills.

"Don’t worry, Sir! We keep our word," the female messenger promised as she prepared to dive underwater. "Please follow me!"

Her shiny blue tail flipped as she dove underwater. Xuefeng glanced at his wives and assured them with a smile before going down as well. He didn’t need to swim far to notice a gigantic underwater city.

Structures made out of coral and houses engraved inside rocks were everywhere while hundreds of Mermaids casually swam in between.

"Don’t mind the stares. We saw Humans in the past but this is the first time we have seen another humanoid Race. You should be an Elf, right?" the female messenger chatted casually. "We have collected quite a lot of information about the world above the ground and you match the Elf description. A handsome face with pointy ears. I’m sure the females in our Race will go crazy over you."

Xuefeng only needed to give a casual glance over the city below to get a confirmation of her words. He was like a celebrity with all the girls watching him intensely. Even the female messenger treated him extra special as she winked and swam closely next to him.

He could already smell trouble but he stayed calm and collected.

"Thank you for the compliment but I’m currently not looking for another wife. The women we left behind are my wives," Xuefeng announced but the female Mermaid didn’t mind at all.

"They are really lucky to claim such a husband," the female messenger commented before pointing ahead. "The Palace is close."

Xuefeng looked ahead but he didn’t see anything for a good minute until the tip of the Fate Mountain revealed itself.

"This..."

He thought Fate Mountain was ending near the surface but Xuefeng was completely wrong. There was no tip at all as the Fate Mountain expanded underwater into a golden Palace made entirely out of Fate Stone.

"Beautiful, right?" the female messenger asked proudly. "Our Palace is one of the kind. Come, our Queen is expecting you."

historical

Xuefeng pretended he was calm on the outside but inside he couldn’t help but get a little greedy. If only he could collect all this Fate Stone, their Fate Qi problems would be completely resolved.

He resisted the urge to pull out his Cube and followed the female Mermaid. The male guards stared him down with their tridents but none of them dared to attack him. It was a good decision since Xuefeng would immediately retaliate and start the massacre.

"Our Queen lives on the top floor and she allowed you to enter through her balcony. Not everyone can enjoy such privilege," the female messenger informed playfully as she dodged the guards and swam towards the top part of the Palace.

"Is that why every guy in here looks like they didn’t take a dump for a few days?" Xuefeng asked casually, already annoyed with the glares. Normally he would end it by intimidating them but he tried to be more polite since he was entering another Race’s Kingdom.

Just as he thought, just this little bit of provocation was enough to enrage them. Every male guard in the area aimed their tridents at his face, ready to launch a group attack.

"What did you say? Say that one more time!"

One of the young males puffed his chest as he dared Xuefeng but that only made him smile in joy. It was like giving Xuefeng a present for his birthday.

"I’m sorry, my bad. I guess you personally didn’t shit for at least a month," Xuefeng corrected apologetically which caused the youngster to rage. His Lightning Trident burst out with power when his face suddenly paled.

Cough!

He choked and spat out blood before glaring at the female Mermaid beside Xuefeng. "Why are you helping an outsider?!"

Xuefeng couldn’t help but follow his gaze, not expecting the culprit to be the playful female messenger. He didn’t even feel the attack coming.

’Soul Arts! It seems like females are the more dominant genre in this Race,’ Ming pointed out. ’We need to be careful with that Queen...’

"Sir, please ignore those idiots. All of them have a crush on our Queen so they are salty," the female messenger roasted all the guards and pulled Xuefeng by the hand. "They won’t dare to attack again or else I will kill them for disregarding the Queen’s orders."

The male guards immediately lowered their tridents in fear while the hurt young male coughed out even more blood.

"Don’t think too highly of yourself just cause the Queen invited you!" He spat out words full of hatred before swimming away.

"Tsk, all of them think with their lower parts instead of their brains. How could the Queen take a liking to any of them?" the female messenger snickered as she pointed at the open balcony. "Sir, enter through that balcony. The Queen will meet you in her bedroom."

The matt finish to the Fate Stones made it unable to see through the external walls of the Palace but Xuefeng could see the elegant finish through the balcony. If not for the fact that there were hundreds of Mermaids in the area, Xuefeng would think he entered inside one of the Human Palaces.

The water was no longer an issue as the Queen’s bedroom was filled with an Air bubble, allowing him to breathe normally. He immediately spotted a large bed in the middle with elegant red curtains blocking his view. All he could see was a silhouette of a woman sitting at the edge of the bed.

He only took a few bold steps towards the bed when the Queen finally reacted.

"You said you want to meet me. How do you plan to entertain me?"
