Chapter 579 - Ocean Emperor Poseidon (1/2)

"We are invited to the Emperor's palace?" Asked Jiang Fei to confirm what Ariel had just said. The question was completely redundant since he had nothing to do at the moment. Might as well accept the invitation.

"Yes! Only if you have nothing else better to do," said Ariel.

"Sure! Let's go!" said Jiang Fei happily. Naturally, Isabella had nothing against it. The only thing that would benefit the Nephilim race was that the Merfolk supported them.

"My dear, this is for you!" said Ariel as she handed a small gem to Jiang Fei.

Water Gem (Special Tool, Fine)

Effect: Grants the ability to breathe underwater.

Note: Effect will be active even if placed in the player's inventory.

It was a blue, water colored gem that provided only one effect. Although the item quality was only Fine, it was incredibly useful to Jiang Fei. The Ocean Emperor's Palace was not part of King Elric's territory and it was underwater. Without the ability to breath underwater, Jiang Fei would need to return to the Fishmen island and farm for the Underwater Breathing Potion!

After Jiang Fei kept the gem inside his inventory, Ariel teleported herself back home in the Eastern Sea. After that, a system message popped up.

"Ding! Ariel is summoning you to her side, do you wish to accept?"

"Yes," Jiang Fei exclaimed and was teleported to where Ariel was.

"Wow. So this is the underwater realm!" Isabella cried out. Isabella was technically part of Jiang Fei. Hence, she was able to benefit from the underwater breathing effect from Jiang Fei.

"Welcome to my home! Dear, Sister Bella, what do you think about my home? Isn't it beautiful!" cried Ariel happily.

"It's so beautiful!"

Technically, it was King Elric's palace.

The palace was built up using seastones with decoration made using natural growing corals and living creatures.

The trio walked into the palace, welcomed by all of the guards. Excited, Ariel dragged Jiang Fei and Isabella into her own private chambers. Jiang Fei did not know what to think when he saw everything inside the room was pink. Everything was literally pink besides a few stones and other building structure that was painted over. Ariel was shy as it was the first time she had let any man enter her room.

"It's nice," said Jiang Fei. He was not good with praising a girl.

"Don't mind the airhead! I think its fabulous!" said Isabella as she knocked Jiang Fei's head and went to Ariel to play around in the room.

All of them did not stay for long as their main objective was to visit the Emperor's Palace. Hence, after playing around for only a little moment, Jiang Fei headed out to greet King Elric before he dragged Ariel and Isabella out of the room. After bidding farewell with King Elric, the trio used the Teleportation Circle in the palace and teleported to the Endless Seas.

All three of them stepped out of the circle and arrived straight at the entrance of the Emperor's Palace.

"Woah. Now this is what I call a Palace!" Jiang Fei exclaimed. The walls, the pillars, the ceilings, and almost everything else was made of a special glass that glowed and shimmered with beautiful light. There were even carvings of mermaids on the top of the palace.

"Let's not let the Emperor wait for us," said Ariel. Both Jiang Fei and Isabella were completely mesmerized by the palace that they just stood there, admiring it for a little too long.

"Ah… Alright," said Jiang Fei as he walked up the steps and into the palace.

There were many high-level Seafolk guardians standing guard everywhere in the palace. Most of them were at least Level 80 Leader tier bosses. Perhaps it was sufficed to say that the Emperor's prowess was much greater than the Nephilim King Augustus.

With the Royal Decree in hand, Ariel, Jiang Fei, and Isabella were able to go through all the guards smoothly.
