Chapter 42
In the large banquet hall, there is a long running water table. The table is arranged in a circle. The table is made of crystals of various colors, crystal clear, and because of the colorful, it will not be too dazzling.
Most of the people who attended the banquet were mermaids. When Jiang Chao was born, almost all the guests had already taken their seats. There were only two tables left, one for the high priest and one for two seats, no matter how young or old. They were all very handsome and beautiful. Jiang Chaosheng squeezed Ji Xuanbing’s hand lightly and bit his ear with the latter: “Should the elders change positions?”
The high priest was obviously sitting on the main seat, the two of them were next to the high priest, and the unique red crystal table was placed on the steps, which was slightly higher than that of the high priest.
The two-seater is also fancy. The two hundred chairs are made of red agate and inlaid with large rubies. Any one of them is a valuable treasure.
Ji Xuanbing sat righteously: “The two of us are the focus of today, of course we are sitting here, and apart from the high priest, other mermaids can’t be regarded as my elders.”
Before he was born, his parents died in battle to protect the merman clan. After he was born, Ji Xuanbing was raised by the high priest, and the only elder he recognized in his heart was the high priest.
But every little merman in the high priest’s love clan, although he is the most preferred, Ji Xuanbing still feels that it is not enough. He wants to have a unique preference like other mermen with parents. If you don’t have parents, you can also have a partner.
In this situation, Ji Xuanbing also told Jiang Chaosheng yesterday, Jiang Chaosheng didn’t say much, but just held the little merman’s hand tighter, and passed the heat of his body through the clenched hand.
“Everyone, you’re welcome, let’s eat.” Ji Xuanbing gave the high priest a look, and the latter raised the glass cup with juice in his hand, and directly announced the banquet.
Ji Xuanbing immediately set up dishes for Jiang Chaosheng. Except for fruits, the meals were almost all kinds of seafood. The cooking methods of the sharks were very simple. They were basically eaten raw, sliced, diced, and salad. On the table, there is also a small amount of baked food. The large crab shell is covered with volcanic ash that cannot be wiped clean. Obviously, it was specially roasted on the edge of the underwater volcano.
Jiang Chaosheng took a bite, and then took the initiative to dismantle the big crab. Using only two branches cut into the shape of chopsticks, he easily picked out the meat of the crab legs and fed them into Ji Xuanbing’s mouth.
I don’t know if it was his illusion. When he was eating, whether it was a performance on the stage or a mermaid sitting in his seat, everyone was watching the two of them.
Forget it, life is just such a marriage. Jiang Chaosheng thought about it, and his attitude was very calm. The high priest glanced at it, and then turned back.
“it is good!”
The performance for the guests was a program that had been rehearsed for a long time. There were small fish in circles, kelp dance, and classic mermaid singing performances.
But Jiang Chaosheng’s table is different. The direction he and the high priest are aligned with, there is a pillar inlaid with large ice crystals, which is broadcasting the situation at the entrance. It looks dense and eye-catching. Unlike the slender and beautiful mermen, most of these sea people are tall and sturdy, and at first glance they are people from the northern sea area.
Jiang Chaosheng saw the man in black with long horns on top of his head at a glance. Seeing that everyone else respected him, he thought it was the so-called black Jiao.
Sure enough, Ji Xuanbing leaned into his ear: “That’s the black snake I told you, isn’t it ugly, you can tell it’s a bad guy just by looking at his face.”
Ji Xuanbing’s words are really exaggerated. Hei Jiao has a sharp and angular appearance, and has a gloomy and ruthless temperament, but he has nothing to do with ugly words anyway.
Jiang Chaosheng opened his eyes and said nonsense: “Yes, it’s ugly.”
Ji Xuanbing happily scooped up a mass of dark meat soup with a spoon: “I knew Chaosheng, you are as good as me, try this snake soup, it tastes good.”
There were singing, dancing, and laughter in the hall, and at the edge of the whirlpool passage, the people around Obsidian finally couldn’t help but ask their master: “Sir, if he doesn’t come out, should we continue to wait here? Or? Said to break in now.”
They stayed outside for more than a day, afraid to move their eyes for fear of missing Ji Xuanbing. As a result, after waiting for a long time, no one came out. These sea clans are more grumpy, and now they are hungry and not full, they really don’t have much patience left.
Obsidian was not the leader of the north at first, but he was strong in action, ruthless, and his strength increased a lot. The sea clan who refused to accept the control of Obsidian at the beginning were basically stripped and skinned, and they became the spoils of war lying in the warehouse of Obsidian.
With these gains, Obsidian has changed from an inconspicuous little black snake to the current black dragon. Although his human shape is only two meters, the original black dragon is very large.
Accustomed to fighting by his side, his subordinates really didn’t understand why his boss was so cautious. He was just a crab fish man, and a hundred of them might not be as big as their boss.
Thinking of Ji Xuanbing’s past behavior, Hei Jiao suppressed his eagerness: “The time is not yet, you can bear it. If you are hungry, find something to eat yourself.”
Big Crab said: “There is nothing to eat around here, just some seaweed.”
I don’t know if the merman clan had informed them that the nearby sea creatures run far away, and that kind of small fish is only enough to stick between their teeth, and it is not enough for them to eat.
The northern sea clan is famous for being able to eat, and their strength is basically proportional to their appetite. The elites who come here are called the carnivorous sea clan to eat grass. It is too difficult for them.
“Then organize a few people to go far away to find food, and the rest will continue to wait in place.” Hei Jiao is not a native of the North Sea after all. He can last a long time after eating a meal. .
What do these sea clans know, the North Lord is a physical attack, the fist is hard enough, and the strength is strong enough, whoever is the winner. This is not the case with the merman family. The most powerful part of their bodies is not their sharp fangs, nor their scaly hard tails, but their hypnotic singing. Those who are manipulated by the singing will even kill each other.
Otherwise, why did he not start with the merman at first, but went to the north. He has been away from the South China Sea for many years, because the merman family is almost monolithic here, and there is the existence of Ji Xuanbing.
The high priest is easy to deal with, because her mental habits are well understood and her weaknesses are obvious. But Ji Xuanbing is different. This little merman used to be the psychological shadow of Obsidian. The other party is obviously a merman, but he wins by relying on the intuition of the beast, and it is not reasonable at all.
For so many years, Hei Jiao’s spy in the southern waters has been secretly passing on Ji Xuanbing’s news to him. The other party is a species favored by the gods. He is not like him trying so hard to seek opportunities, but he still grows very fast.
Just half a year ago, the spies he arranged with great difficulty were torn apart by Ji Xuanbing, and the line that had been raised for so many years was broken. At that time, he went to fight the tortoise in the east and could only put down the south temporarily.
During this period of time, he had been digesting the resources and power left by the mysterious turtle in the east, and finally found time to deal with the mermen in the south. Only then did he know that Ji Xuanbing was going to marry a human.
When he heard the news, Obsidian thought he had heard it wrong, but he came all the way with his personal guard, only to know that the rumor was true. Love can make people weak, and Obsidian thought that the opportunity was coming, so he temporarily changed his plan to visit.
Hearing it was false, he had to see Ji Xuanbing with his own eyes and try to test the strength of this merman. He didn’t act rashly, on the one hand, because he was used to being more secure and liked to come to the yin first. On the other hand, it is because Ji Xuanbing is the shadow of his mind in his life. Even if he has shed his skin several times and changed from a black snake to a dragon, he can turn into a dragon with enough power. He thinks of Ji Xuanbing, still Will not help but fear.
Although the merman clan sealed the barrier, it didn’t matter. Before he came to visit, he let people poison the food at the banquet. Even if the mermen didn’t die, as long as they were poisoned, they would definitely be in a weak state. .
Hei Jiao’s face was slightly distorted, and he even grabbed a tortoise shell directly in his hand, which was one of the spoils of his defeat in the southern sea area.
While Hei Jiao was gnashing his teeth, the banquet of the merman clan ended safely and smoothly, because there was no drinking, except for a few who blushed because of being too excited, all of them looked clear and in good condition.
After sending away all the guests who came to bless them (visiting the Queen of Sharks), Ji Xuanbing stretched his waist: “Marriage is such a tiring thing, it’s enough to do it only once in a lifetime, are you right, husband?”
Obviously today, the little shark did nothing at all except eat, drink, and show affection today. This is clearly implying that Jiang Chaosheng can only marry him.
What kind of bad intentions can the little shark have? Just want a guarantee, Jiang Chaosheng naturally agrees: “You are right.”
He still sat in his original position and looked at the evil guests in the picture: “Can you see the situation of Hei Jiao and the others in other places?”
“Where there is a magic crystal, you can watch it.” Ji Xuanbing’s fair fingernails skyrocketed, and he gently stroked the crystal stone in Jiang Chaosheng’s eyes, cut a side of the magic crystal, and the people on the screen instantly appeared on the big screen at the same time. and small screens.
Jiang Chaosheng, who has enjoyed high-tech, is not surprised. It is broadcast live: “Can you take it to the shore and watch it?”
“No, it can’t be out of the range of the formation.”
Jiang Chaosheng understood. In terms of modern technology, this situation is that there is no network and no signal.
Ji Xuanbing knew more about the merman family than Jiang Chaosheng, and said with confidence: “But don’t worry, everyone has lived in the sea for so many years, it’s not a big problem.”
He shook the unique conch in his hand: “The high priest has inlaid a sound transmission stone on it. Qiongdao is not far from here, and you can hear anything from the conch.”
“Then we’ll wait, and if it goes well, we’ll go back tomorrow morning.” Jiang Chaosheng had no ominous premonition, he always trusted his intuition.
When the sunrise on the sea turned into sunset, Ji Xuanbing’s black flood dragon finally noticed something was wrong. The team he went out for food didn’t seem to have come back for a long time.
