Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 546: Chapter 545: A Beautiful Gift

’How strange. Could this Black Water Righteous Method be a body refinement Cultivation Technique?’

The more Qin Feng thought about it, the more he felt it had to be true.

But what he found odd was that he clearly didn’t possess the bloodline of a Black Water Profound Serpent, so why did he have this strange feeling that he was transforming into one?

However, Qin Feng didn’t think this transformation was necessarily a bad thing.

The Black Water Profound Serpent was one of the Ancient Water Element True Spirits. It possessed boundless strength and was born with the ability to control Nine Nether Black Water, a type of Innate True Water. If he could master this transformation, it could be an alternative path to longevity.

It was also a fallback plan.

"So, how do you feel? This Blue Demon Fruit is no ordinary item. The Blue Demon Spirit Tree is the Sea Demon Clan’s Clan Treasure, a Heavenly Rank Spirit Tree. Its flowers bloom for three hundred years, bear fruit for three hundred years, and ripen for three hundred years. It takes a full nine hundred years to produce just ninety-nine fruits. Eating a single one allows any Martial Artist to forge a Postnatal Sunflower Water Body!"

A Postnatal Sunflower Water Body.

This was a powerful physique on par with the Demon God Body.

...

Within the sprawling palace complex of Fuhai Palace, inside one of its many halls.

It was an exceptionally lavish palace.

The roof seemed to be paved with fish scales, and Flood Dragons clung to the walls. The door pillars were inlaid with purple shells, and the window lattices were adorned with pearls.

A misty haze drifted through the warm water as a beautiful mermaid swam in the hot spring. She had the tail of a fish and the torso of a human, with wavy, sea-blue hair and ice-blue eyes. Her scales, however, were an iridescent gold.

Ordinary Sea Demons had light blue scales; only the Pure Blood Royal Family of the Sea Demon Clan had golden ones.

She thrashed about in the water, her snow-white skin dazzlingly exquisite amidst the hazy mist.

She looked extremely agitated.

"Ninth Princess, you should listen to the Queen. Her Majesty will not approve of your marriage with the Endless Sea Dragon Palace. Even though the Third Prince is of the Dragon Monarch’s Direct Lineage, it will be impossible for you two if the Queen does not consent!"

A Maid in the palace carefully tried to persuade her.

"Back then, the Dragon Monarch injured the Queen. Her Majesty will never let you marry the son of her enemy!"

"But that’s a grudge from the previous generation! Why should it affect us?"

In the hot spring, a flicker of bitterness and unconcealable anger flashed in the exquisite Ninth Princess’s beautiful eyes.

Water splashed, and pearl-like droplets trickled down her damp hair.

The turbulent mist reflected the turmoil in the beauty’s heart.

Just a moment ago, the Sea Demon Queen had sent a messenger with a decree.

The Ninth Princess, Lan Rou’Er, knew the Sea Demon Queen might not agree to her marriage with the Third Prince of the Endless Dragon Palace, but she never expected the Queen to order her to serve those so-called geniuses of the Sea Race.

Never mind these nobodies who called themselves geniuses of the Sea Race.

With her pride, she wouldn’t even deign to look at the prodigies on the Sea Realm Pride Ranking.

And of all people, it was Yu Hua, whose reputation was absolutely foul.

Lan Rou’Er knew many rumors about Yu Hua. She had previously sent a Maid to gather information from the Cyan Forest Hall, such as how he had shocked everyone with his immense strength.

He had made fifty-five Thousand Leaf Water God Black Lotuses bloom in one go.

But that couldn’t cover up the scandal of his lechery.

Although Lan Rou’Er was hailed as the number one beauty of the Sea Demon Clan, she still held the simple, romantic dreams of an ordinary girl. Even if she couldn’t have someone as handsome, considerate, and supremely talented as the Third Prince, she wanted at least an honest and decent man.

It was one thing that this Yu Hua couldn’t compare to the Third Prince in talent or Cultivation, but he was also a famous pervert, known far and wide!

How could Lan Rou’Er possibly accept this?

"I want to see the Queen!"

Amidst the shimmering water, Lan Rou’Er emerged from the spring. Her golden fishtail transformed into a pair of slender, shapely legs, revealing an indescribable, captivating beauty.

"Princess, the Queen said she doesn’t wish to see you. There are Elders waiting outside. You won’t be able to leave! Please don’t make things difficult for this servant!"

The Maid knelt on the ground, her head lowered.

Lan Rou’Er’s beautiful face turned pale, and her heart went cold.

After a moment, she secretly made a decision.

’Yu Hua!’ Lan Rou’Er grit her teeth, a trace of killing intent flashing in her heart.

Seeing this, the Sea Demon Maiden at her side grew worried for the Ninth Princess.

She knew that the Elders of the Sea Demon Clan would never allow the Ninth Princess an opportunity to do anything that would harm the clan.

...

The Cyan Forest Banquet concluded amidst song and dance.

The Sea Demon Queen said a great deal, but Qin Feng only remembered one thing: in one day, the Sea Demon Clan would announce their decision.

When the banquet ended, the Sea Demon Queen left her seat, and the various Elders and Sea Generals of the Sea Demon Clan followed suit.

With the Sea Demon Queen gone, the atmosphere in the great hall relaxed considerably. Many experts of the Sea Race began to converse in low voices, chatting about everything under the sun. However, the topics of conversation between men, aside from boasting, inevitably turned to women.

"Yu Hua’s" reputation had been in tatters, but after revealing a glimpse of his power, some geniuses of the Sea Race actually came forward to befriend him.

Qin Feng offered a few perfunctory replies, establishing a nodding acquaintance with some of the Sea Race members.

Qin Feng’s gaze, however, was primarily fixed on Bai Yan’Er.

Ever since the banquet ended, Bai Yan’Er had been chatting intermittently with Xuan Wuji and Ye Ding, who were beside her.

The woman he had been intimate with was hitting it off with other men—especially two infamous Harem Kings. How could Qin Feng possibly be at ease?

Nearby, Wu Shentong saw this and his eyes flashed. He could tell that "Yu Hua" seemed to be falling for Bai Yan’Er at first sight.

Wu Shentong chuckled to himself, assuming "Yu Hua’s" old habits were just flaring up again.

Then again, Bai Yan’Er was known as the number one beauty of the Northern Spirit Realm. She truly did outshine all the others.

In the great hall, the Great Dragon Maiden, Princess Zisha, and Nanming Ling were all rare beauties in their own right, but compared with Bai Yan’Er, they still fell short.

Bai Yan’Er’s unique, pure, and aloof noble bearing, in particular, was enough to make anyone’s heart skip a beat.

After a while, seeming tired, Bai Yan’Er left her seat.

Ye Ding and Xuan Wuji exchanged a glance. Seeing Bai Yan’Er depart, they chatted briefly before also leaving under the guidance of a Sea Demon Maiden.

Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then looked in the direction Bai Yan’Er had gone and started to follow.

He had just reached the entrance of the hall when a beautiful young Sea Demon approached him.

"Young Master Yu, your accommodations are this way!"

Qin Feng hesitated. When it came to matters between men and women, he was quite the amateur.

Just then, Wu Shentong also walked out of the hall. Seeing the scene, he smiled and said, "Brother Yu, go on. The Sea Demon Clan has prepared gifts for us, you know!"

Wu Shentong’s smile was rather suggestive.

Hearing this, the few young Sea Demons nearby giggled, a slight blush of shyness on their beautiful faces.

"See you tomorrow!" With a slight smile, Wu Shentong gave a nod. The Sea Demon Maiden leading him giggled, took his hand, and led him toward another palace.

Interrupted by Wu Shentong, Qin Feng could only watch helplessly as Bai Yan’Er’s figure disappeared around a corner of the palace. Led by a Sea Demon Maiden, he made a few turns and arrived at a rather exquisite Side Hall.

"Young Master Yu Hua, your room is here. Oh, and Her Majesty the Queen has also prepared a special gift for you!"

A faint blush appeared on the young Sea Demon’s pretty face. She gave a curtsy, swayed her slender waist, and promptly departed, leaving a somewhat bewildered Qin Feng behind.
