113 Treasure Spots (1/2)

\”This...\” the king stammered.

The seven dragons all turned and faced the king, looking at him with their large eyes.

\”Youngster, this is..\”

Ye Qin smiled. The queen and the princess held the same reaction as the king.

\”Beautiful.\” the princess muttered.

The Qiulong lowered its head and shrunk as it allowed the princess to rub its head.

\”Go ahead.\” Ye Qin told her.

The princess came out of her shocked state and slowly moved her hand closer to the Qiulong. When she placed her hand on its head, she slowly moved it to rub the dragons head.

The six other dragons were recalled along with Wang Tao's tigers. The Qiulong didn't return until the princess had finished having her fun.

\”I see now, you should be completely safe even if you two head off to the marked spots alone.\” the king said.

\”En.\” the two boys replied.

\”Well then, let us see you off.\” the king continued.

\”Yes.\” Ye Qin replied.

At the entrance of the palace, Ye Qin and Wang Tao were seen off by the royal family. They began to swim away and headed towards the closest location marked on the map.

*************

After an hour of swimming, they arrived at the first location. Looking around, there were large corals and seaweed everywhere. A large cavern with purple walls and fish living on it could be seen if the seaweed were moved.

The two went inside, where everything was pitch black. Ye Qin and Wang Tao took out a pearl from their pockets.

It was a gift from the king for their meeting. The pearl not only looks exquisite, but it can also be used as a source of light. It didn't require any tricks or gimmick, just by being in a dark place, the pearl would light up on its own.

Inside the cavern, the two searched around. Small fish and other sea creatures swam away when they came closer. So far, it didn't seem like any monsters would attack them.

After a while, the Qiulong and the rest of the monsters were summoned. They split off to increase the amount of space that is covered. Of course, they didn't forget to create a map of the cavern that they had covered so far.
