I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

"watch out!"

Under the moonlight, Eve was having a water fight with Istina and the others by the lake, but she didn't change into a swimsuit. She was just standing in knee-deep water in her casual clothes and playing.

The translucent clothes hit by the water faintly revealed some flesh color, which was a unique temptation.

"Ah! Eve's sneak attack! Tina, help me too."

"Hoohoo, good~ Let's see the brave man!"

As Istina spoke, she also thought of Eve and stirred up a wave.

"Mmmmm, Arcana, help me!"

Faced with the double attack from both of them, Eve was unable to withstand it, and after a while she called for help again.

"Come on~"

But although Akana claimed to help Eve, he actually joined the ranks of those who persecuted Eve.

"what!"

So our Miss Eve was splashed again.

"Viya, come and help!"

Hearing Eve finally calling her, Ilvia, who was sitting on the shore eating biscuits, swallowed the biscuits in her hand in two bites, clapped her hands and joined the battle.

Of course, as a good girl, Ilvia naturally helped Eve.

"I knew Viya was the best. I'll hold you while I sleep tonight!"

"..."

Although she still looked completely clueless, Ilvia was obviously working harder with her hands.

On the other side, after hearing what Eve said, Akana and the others immediately started an internal conflict.

"Ah! Master, I want to hold you while I sleep too!"

"The sword that was just trying to trick the master is gone! Watch out!"

With a wave of her little hand, splashes of water fell towards Akana.

Under the moonlight, the girls' laughter echoed around the shore of Yueyang Lake, but no one could see this beautiful scene.

"Hoo~"

Finally, after having enough fun, the group returned to the shore and dried themselves with the hot wind.

It's getting late, it's time to go down to the bottom of the lake.

"Okay, are you all ready? I'm going to add some magic."

"Ok!"

Snapped--

With a snap of fingers, a magical glow appeared on several people.

The magic Eve added to everyone was basically common water magic such as breathing in water and moving in water.

However, a more subtle point is that they do not know the exact location of the ruins at the bottom of the lake. In the letter, Melfilin only said that the ruins are located near the center of the lake, and assured Eve that she can see it at a glance when she arrives at the place, so she still has to look for it for a while.

Originally, it would have been much faster to fly directly to the middle of the lake and then get into the water, but Melchis was curious about the scenery under the lake, so the group chose to swim all the way from a place closer to the shore. Although it would take some more time, as long as Chis was happy, it was fine.

"Okay, the magic is ready. One last thing, remember to stay away from the bottom of the lake when you swim, or you won't see anything."

Above the lake, Eve gave a few final instructions to everyone.

"Yeah, remember!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Following Eve's command, several people turned into a wave and disappeared into the lake, and the lake surface returned to calm after ripples appeared.

§158 Underwater Secret Realm

The water of Yueyang Lake was crystal clear, and at first everyone saw the lake bottom made of large areas of fine sand. After swimming forward for a while, they saw the same scenery, except that the water had become a little deeper. Seeing this, Eve called out to the others.

"There doesn't seem to be anything interesting here. Let's go to the center of the lake quickly."

"Ah."

Then, several people suddenly accelerated in the water, turning into several swift black shadows that broke through the water and rushed towards the center of the lake. They only slowed down when a strange forest appeared in front of them.

"Wow, this is really amazing..."

What appeared before everyone was a large forest completely underwater, with even the highest treetops a long distance from the water surface.

Unlike the situation on the sea elves' side where the water submerged the lower part of the tree trunks, this kind of forest that was completely underwater was the first time Eve had seen it. She didn't know whether the original forest was submerged for some reason or this forest was part of the wonderland.

In the deepest part of the forest, there is a faint light emanating outwards. It is difficult to see clearly under the layers of tree shadows, but it is conspicuous enough under the water where the moonlight cannot illuminate it.

It seems that this is most likely the destination of their trip. No wonder Melfilin said that they will know when they get there.

After going deep into the forest, although it was underwater, Eve found that this forest was no different from the Elf Forest on the ground. She could even see some fresh leaves and buds on the branches. She had no idea how they grew. It felt completely unscientific.

There are also many small animals in the forest. The fish that were originally hiding in the branches and leaves were frightened and fled in all directions as they approached, which made Melchis chase them out of curiosity.

After a long while, Melchis's interest faded and the group continued to swim deeper into the forest.

Continuing to go deeper, what appeared before their eyes was a translucent light egg standing upright in the water, emitting light. About a quarter of its lower part was submerged in the bottom of the lake. This was the source of the light they had seen before.

Moreover, the light emitted by this light egg is also quite interesting. Even when people get closer, it does not seem much brighter and still has a hazy feeling.

The light egg is not transparent, at least you cannot see the inside clearly from the outside, you can only vaguely see some blocks of color.

knock--

Eve gently reached out and knocked and poked the light shell in front of her, then shook her head slightly.

"No, it shouldn't be a direct entry."

Although this light curtain feels very soft and elastic when touched, in fact, if her hand is pressed slightly inward, it will bounce back. It does not look like a place that can be forced into, and there must be another way to enter it.

Hmm, I guess I need to walk around and look for the entrance.

Thinking of this, Eve took a few people to scan the boundary between the light shell and the lake bottom.

"Hmm... not really."

Because it is surrounded by forests, there are a lot of sunken wood piled up at the bottom of the lake near the light shell, and it doesn't look like it has been cleaned up, so it should not be entered from below.

In that case, the most likely possibility is the above?

Thinking of this, Eve said directly.

"Let's go and split up to look upwards. The entrance should be over there. Whoever finds it can use the magic beam to lead the way."

"Ah."

As they spoke, several figures followed the light shell all the way up and began to look for the entrance separately to make sure Eve's speculation was correct.

It didn’t take long…

"Eve, Tina! I found the entrance!"

Accompanied by Melchis's happy voice and a beam of magical light rising from the water, she was the first to find the entrance and began to call out to the other two.

"Here I come~ Shizu is really amazing~"

Following the direction of the magic beam, Eve didn't reach out to rub Sis's little head because she was underwater, but just praised her verbally.

"Hehe~"

But even so, Melchis looked happy.

"Okay, let's go in and take a look."

As she spoke, Eve looked towards the entrance discovered by Melchis.

Unlike other places in the light shell, there is a milky white gas mass in front of you, which is like a plug separating the lake water outside. People can enter it directly and will not be bounced away like in other places.

then…

"Everyone! Restricted area ahead! No entry! Please return the way you came!"

As soon as they entered, Eve and her group received an extremely 'warm' welcome ceremony.

I saw a large group of moon elves standing guard at the entrance with weapons in full battle array, blocking this small entrance.

Ah this...

The garrisons at Yuequan Mountain and Luoxing Valley are not so tight. Is it because these places are special as wonderland ruins?

But despite her thoughts, Eve immediately took out the permission letter that Melfilin had previously issued for them.

"We are here at the invitation of Her Excellency Melfirin. This is our letter of permission."

"Okay, wait a moment, I need to check."

After receiving the permission letter, the leading moon elf even used magic to check it before handing it back to Eve.

"Sorry, the timing is special and the level of alert here is a bit high. I'm sorry to have caused you all such trouble."

"Ah, nothing."

Eve then asked.

"You just said the alert level is a bit high because of the Moonlight Dew collection ceremony later?"

"Yes, that's right, but how about we discuss the details later? It's a bit unhospitable here."

As he spoke, the elf looked around the small space.

"Okay, sorry to bother you then."

After her reminder, Eve naturally agreed happily. Then, with an order, the other elves evacuated in an orderly manner through the gap on the side and evacuated to the top entrance which was like a small compartment.

"You all know how to fly, right? We need to fly to get to the place below."

The elf suddenly asked when he led a few people to the gap.

"Yeah, either is fine."

"That's good, please follow me."

As she said that, she jumped down first.

The entrance where Eve and the others are now is a small compartment. There is an opaque light curtain under their feet, so they cannot really see what is going on inside. However, they can see the outside scene through the light shell outside.

It is estimated that when they were looking for the entrance along the light shell, they had already been seen clearly by the elves inside.

Hmm... now that I think about it, it feels a bit like a one-way aquarium.

"Let's go and see how special this place is."

After getting rid of all the strange and messy associations in her mind, Eve jumped over the gap and officially entered this wonderful world.

§159 Crystal City

"Wow, this is really exaggerated."

As soon as she officially entered this strange and beautiful ruin, Eve couldn't help but exclaimed at the stunning view before her, and she hovered in the air.

"What's wrong, Mr. Brave?"

Hearing Eve's scream from below, Istina hurriedly followed, and then she and Eve were both shocked and speechless. Finally, with the addition of Melchis and a few others, Eve and her group performed a row-standing show in mid-air.

But it’s no wonder they were so surprised, because the scene below was so outrageous.

I saw a palace carved from various colored crystals hanging quietly under the water. The lower half of the palace was a huge crystal stone, or it could be said that the upper part of the palace itself was carved from this crystal, and this crystal seemed to be the source of energy for the external light shell.

From the outside, the last quarter of the eggshell buried at the bottom of the lake can also be seen inside, and outside the eggshell is the soil layer at the bottom of the lake.

As for the crystal itself, it is not in contact with the eggshell, but is suspended at a distance above the eggshell.
