During the few days he spent at sea, Li Chen treated the sea creature beauties Ao Jiao and Po Xi very well.

We took them to sample some delicacies that are only available inland, and also visited some tourist attractions in the eastern part of the Tian Ce Dynasty. The scenery was indeed delightful.

When there were lively celebrations, we would take them to participate so they could experience the activities of the human race, and they even took a ride on a rail train at the end.

It can be said that Ao Jiao, Po Xi, and the other sea tribe beauties had a very good impression of Li Chen.

Behind their backs, everyone was praising him, saying that it was truly an honor for Jun Shenzi to have Li Chen as a friend.

Li Chen wasn't sure if those words were a compliment, but he took them as one.

However, there was one thing that made Ao Jiao and the others very uncomfortable: every night, they had to listen from behind the wall.

Ao Jiao thought to herself, "They're a couple, so this is the right thing to do. I can't say anything."

Po Xi was wondering if Nan Zhi could handle it; if not, she shouldn't force herself.
There was nothing they could do; Jun Zhantian was just too lonely to look at.

Four days later, they finally saw the sea.

This also requires deliberately avoiding areas where human cultivators and sea warriors are fighting.

Since arriving in this area, Po Xi noticed that Princess Ao Jiao's smile had disappeared again, as if a very cruel test awaited her.

Ao Jiao turned and glanced at Li Chen, saying, "Young Master Li, you can stop here. We can manage the rest of the journey ourselves."

The other sea creature beauties also expressed their gratitude to Li Chen for his hard work along the way.

If Li Chen hadn't intervened, countless people would have made things difficult for them.

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "No need. Since I agreed to bring you out, I will guarantee your safety. Let's go down together."

Li Chen wasn't meddling in other people's business; his purpose was very clear: these sea creature beauties.

The chosen ones are all stunning beauties, so how could Li Chen possibly let them go?

Ao Jiao is the strongest among the sea creature beauties, but she is only at the peak of the Six Harmonies Realm. If she encounters any trouble, she will not be able to escape.

Don't underestimate Jun Zhantian just because he's only at the Heavenly Observation Realm. He's a chosen one, and as long as he doesn't run into a Saint Realm expert, turning misfortune into good fortune is commonplace for him.

Hearing that Li Chen wanted to go to sea with them, Ao Jiao and the others were very worried.

However, when Li Chen actually entered the deep sea, Ao Jiao and the other sea creatures were completely dumbfounded.

Huh? Isn't Li Chen a human? How come he's more adapted to the deep sea than us sea creatures?

Ao Jiao actually planned to shake off Li Chen and make him give up.

It now seems that Li Chen is much faster than them. They're lucky if they don't get left behind; they can't possibly shake him off.

Now that things had come to this, Ao Jiao looked at Li Chen with a serious expression and said, "Young Master Li, the sea area ahead is quite complicated. You must come with me, or it will be very dangerous if you go the wrong way."

Li Chen said no problem, he would definitely follow closely behind her.

When passing through some sea areas, Ao Jiao also learned from Li Chen, who took her to visit the scenic spots and introduced the local situation to Li Chen.

This was personally introduced by the sea princess, so Li Chen was able to learn many things that ordinary sea creatures didn't know.

Wu Nanzhi, who was standing nearby, was also listening attentively. Upon learning that the sea race was composed of different kingdoms, she asked a question: "Sister Ao Jiao, since the sea race's power structure is so complex, why do they attack the human race?"

Ao Jiao sighed and explained, "It's like this, our sea tribe has been rich in resources lately, and all the major forces are constantly increasing their military equipment and powerful individuals, so the internal strife is very fierce."
Just like that sea of ​​corpses we passed by, there was a war there before. Then, after a thousand years, the great dragon kings met again and felt that the sea race was in chaos because of their internal strife. They thought it would be better to just attack the human race.

I know it's absurd to wage racial war on such grounds, but I'm powerless to stop it, and I deeply regret it.

Ao Jiao's words were full of apology, and the other sea creature beauties also looked guilty.

It was as if their own people had committed a heinous crime.

If they were ordinary humans, they certainly wouldn't feel this way, but because Li Chen was kind to them, they felt somewhat ashamed.

The invasion of the sea race was indeed a disaster for other countries, but Li Chen really didn't want to get involved in Tian Ce's affairs. Anyway, it seemed that he didn't bother to send troops to suppress it, and let the cultivators deal with it themselves.

"Don't say that. This is all part of the natural order, something beyond our control. You weren't the ones who started the war, and you're innocent too." Hearing Li Chen's 'well-intentioned' words, the sea creature beauties' goodwill towards him continued to rise.

They even wondered if there were such righteous people among the human race?

You should know that Jun Zhantian was clamoring to teach the sea race a bloody lesson to wash away the pain he suffered last time.

Their following Jun Zhantian was, in fact, a betrayal of the sea tribe against their conscience.

On the human side, although the disciples of the Guixu Wuyai Sect all expressed respect, it was only out of fear of Jun Zhantian. In their eyes, they were just Jun Zhantian's spoils of war, and they were even very harsh to the other human women around Jun Zhantian.

Only when they were with Li Chen did they not feel that double guilt.

Sometimes, Po Xi's gaze towards Li Chen was dazed. If it weren't for Jun Zhantian, she might have followed him directly.
But that's just a possibility; once a woman from the sea tribe has made up her mind, it's very difficult for her to change it.

Po Xi could only keep this thought to herself, and the other sea creature beauties felt the same way to varying degrees.

This was actually beyond Li Chen's expectations. Li Chen said this not to win their favor, but because he genuinely had no hatred for the sea race.
I am grateful that you have provided resources to the cultivators of my Tian Ce Dynasty.

In any case, it seems that the powerful figures of the Tian Ce Dynasty have no intention of mediating this war with the powerful figures of the Sea Clan.

After traveling for less than a day, Li Chen, along with Ao Jiao and the others, passed through layers of water curtains, and suddenly a magnificent deep-sea city appeared before them.

The entire city was shrouded in a huge, transparent barrier, keeping the seawater out.

The buildings in the city are mostly built with white coral as the base, jade as the walls, and glazed tiles as the roof.

The streets are covered with glowing pearl sand, which shimmers with a soft blue light as you step on it.

According to Ao Jiao, millions of sea creatures live here, including merfolk with fish tails, Xuan Turtle Clan with turtle shells on their backs, and Deep Sea Clan with light-emitting devices on their heads. All kinds of sea creatures move among them, making it a lively and bustling place.

In the heart of the city, a magnificent dragon palace stands at the highest point.

The palace is entirely made of ancient jade, with twenty dragon-carved pillars piercing the sky.

A huge luminous pearl was embedded in the top of the palace, like the bright moon in the deep sea, illuminating the surrounding area for miles.

The palace was surrounded by a majestic dragon whale guard, each one as large as a small mountain.

"This is the imperial city of our sea race, the Azure Abyss Dragon Palace. That 'Pearl of the Azure Sea' is the Dragon Palace's most precious treasure, which has illuminated the seabed for three thousand years," Ao Jiao proudly introduced, her jade horn gleaming with pride.

Not to mention that this was Li Chen's first time here, even the sea race rogue cultivators like Po Xi had never seen such a large sea race city.

Just as everyone was admiring the underwater wonders, a patrol of guards riding seahorses came towards them.

The leading general with dragon horns was shocked to see Ao Jiao: "Sister! Why are you back? His Majesty is furious!"

He saw worry and concern in Ao Jiao's expression, but when he saw Li Chen, he flew into a rage.

The dragon-horned general pointed his weapon at Li Chen and roared, "You dare to come back? You're the one who corrupted my sister! I wasn't in the Dragon Palace the other day, so you got away fast. Today, I will tear you to pieces!"

Imagine your obedient and sensible younger sister being kidnapped by a foreign thug. What older brother wouldn't be furious? When he said "tear her to pieces," he wasn't just saying it out of anger; he really wanted to do it.

Li Chen: "."

Upon hearing this, Ao Jiao immediately stood in front of Li Chen and said, "Brother, this has nothing to do with him."

General Longjiao said angrily, "Sister, even at a time like this, you're still protecting him?"

Ao Jiao said urgently, "It's not what you think. It was definitely not him who infiltrated our Dragon Palace's treasure trove."

The Dragon Horn General gritted his teeth, glared at Li Chen, and said, "Boy, what kind of bewitching potion did you give my sister!"

From the perspective of the Dragon Horn General, Li Chen was the human man who bewitched her sister.

Li Chen said speechlessly, "It really has nothing to do with me."

But when he said that, the Dragon Horn General became even angrier and cursed, "You spineless coward, you dare to do it but not admit it, huh?"

Li Chen: "."

What did I do? I just arrived!
