#1068 - Chapter 1068 Another World
Xingchen Lan's eyelids grew heavy, and finally, they slowly closed, concealing her sapphire-like eyes.
Seeing that Xi'er and Xingchen Lan had successfully passed through the Water Spirit Gate, Lin Yaoyao manipulated her hands to withdraw her true essence.
Taking advantage of the Water Spirit Gate's imminent disappearance, Lin Yaoyao seized the opportunity to leap and rush inside.
"Splash!"
The entire Water Spirit Gate closed directly, the seawater returned to the ocean, and the sky reverted to its usual clearness. The sea continued to surge calmly, as if nothing had happened.
In the Galan World, fish flew everywhere. The roads here were peculiar, not paved with cobblestones, but with seashells.
The seashells were small but very hard and delicate. Amidst the swirling patterns were small dots of varying shades. Upon closer inspection, each dot was surrounded by its own intricate design.
Here, people walked barefoot on the seashells, seemingly without any pain or discomfort.
Around the Galan World, small fish exhaled bubbles, but there was no trace of water.
When Lin Yaoyao entered the Galan World, she saw Xi'er channeling energy for Xingchen Lan.
"Xi'er, what's wrong with him?" Lin Yaoyao asked with some concern.
"Senior Sister, Junior Brother is fine. He probably forgot to control his breath when passing through the Water Spirit Gate. I just need to expel the seawater from his body."
Xi'er rotated her hands, and with a final double palm on Xingchen Lan's back, Xingchen Lan immediately felt a surge of majestic aura within his body.
"Pfft!"
Xingchen Lan opened his mouth, and the seawater within him uncontrollably spewed out. Only then did Xingchen Lan regain consciousness and slowly open his eyes.
"Senior Sister, Senior Brother," Xingchen Lan called out softly.
"Junior Brother, do you feel anything else amiss in your body?" Xi'er asked while taking out a small white bottle from her bosom.
Xi'er poured out two small black pills and handed them to Xingchen Lan.
Xingchen Lan looked at Xi'er with some hesitation, a hint of doubt in his eyes, but his hand honestly accepted them.
"Xi'er, what poison is this?" Lin Yaoyao asked.
Lin Yaoyao and her companions wandered around the Galan World. Everything here was vastly different from the world on land.
On the streets and alleys, everything was fish-headed with human legs. Those who had evolved more completely had heads that were no different from humans.
When Lin Yaoyao appeared on the streets of the Galan World, she attracted a lot of attention. Eyes constantly turned to them.
"These should be people from the Sea Race. They look too much like humans."
"Yes, how many years of cultivation would that take?"
"Only people of the Sea Race have such abilities!"
Whispering voices were everywhere.
Although these deep-sea races transformed slowly, they could read and write, and had learned the language of the land fifty years ago.
The deep-sea races came into contact with the world outside the Galan World through the sea, while humans could only imagine the Galan World through legends.
Rumors circulated that the Galan World was extremely terrifying, no different from hell, but very few people had entered it, so the rumor persisted to this day.
"Clang clang clang~"
Just as Lin Yaoyao and her companions were searching for clues, a large group of crab soldiers approached.
The crab soldiers' purpose was clear: they directly surrounded the most conspicuous Lin Yaoyao and her companions.
Lin Yaoyao and her companions immediately stood back-to-back, looking around.
"We just arrived here, how could we be surrounded so quickly?" Xingchen Lan looked around warily.
"Perfect, these big crabs are all big and meaty, definitely plump and tender!" After Xi'er finished speaking, the kind of hunger in her eyes that was like seeing prey was revealed.
The crab soldiers naturally heard what Xi'er said and unconsciously took a step back.
"Don't act rashly, let's see what's going on first," Lin Yaoyao calmly surveyed the surroundings.
Just then, the crab soldiers in front, for some reason, directly opened a path.
Lin Yaoyao and her companions looked in that direction, only to see a somewhat short and stout person walking over.
That's right, a human head and face, but a little short, ugly, and fat.
"Three distinguished guests, I am the Sea Race's steward, Du. Our Sea Lord wants to meet the three of you."
The steward Du's attitude was humble, as if genuinely inviting them.
Xi'er and Xingchen Lan stared wide-eyed, not knowing what was happening.
Lin Yaoyao thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Please lead the way."
Lin Yaoyao followed Steward Du to the Sea Race's underwater palace.
The enormous crystal palace radiated a dazzling blue light. Above each roof was a night-luminescent pearl as large as a human head, shining brightly. Swaying seaweed surrounded it, adding to its charm.
Simply amazing!
Steward Du led Lin Yaoyao and her companions into the underwater palace. The scene inside looked even more luxurious than the outside.
Looking up, the ceilings were made of glazed tiles. Each step taken rippled through the water.
Steward Du led Lin Yaoyao and her companions around a few turns, passing an open space. Xi'er curiously poked her head to look.
In the open space, a tree was planted. This tree was different, it didn't grow leaves, but pearls, which was very strange.
"What kind of tree is this, so magical?" Xi'er asked curiously.
"That is the Leafless Tree, it only grows pearls and no leaves, and the pearls on it never fall easily."
Just as Steward Du was introducing the tree to the three of them, they had already arrived at the Crystal Palace.
"The Sea Lord is waiting for the three of you inside, please!"
Steward Du brought the three of them to the entrance and then consciously retreated.
Lin Yaoyao and her companions looked at each other, not saying anything, but they understood each other.
Lin Yaoyao pushed open the pearl-encrusted seashell door. Upon opening it, there was a huge seashell table, surrounded by members of the Sea Race. They were different from the fish-men, their transformation speed was very fast, and their overall form was no different from humans.
Sitting in the first seat, wearing silk and gem clothing, appeared very wealthy.
When he saw Lin Yaoyao and her companions entering, the Sea Lord immediately stood up, and the people around him also stood up.
They all bowed and shouted, "Welcome Immortal Masters to Galan."
This grand scene made the three of them somewhat perplexed.
"Three Immortal Masters, quickly, please take the upper seats."
