The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

Wan Xing, with a calm mind, lay leisurely on the dragon's back, humming a song as he followed the guard of honor.

"Ten Thousand Stars Russell..." [Sylphy Poseidon] flew up on a seahorse, gazing at Ten Thousand Stars with her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Did you write this song?"

She spoke in a gentle tone, as if she was confiding in an old friend she hadn't seen for many years, and her gentle voice was full of curiosity.

"This was created by humans. I can only sing it." Wan Xing answered honestly.

It's not that he doesn't want to brag about himself, it's just that he has no choice, he can neither write lyrics nor compose music.

The mermaid princess opposite is holding a crystal harp, and you can tell at a glance that she is an expert in music. You can tell whether she is real or not with just a simple try.

Wan Xing naturally wouldn't tell such a lie that could be easily exposed.

"Oh, I see. I guess I should go out on land like Aunt Latifa..."

[Sylphy Poseidon] muttered to himself and flew down again, losing interest in Wanxing again.

Wanxing didn't bother to argue too much and just admired the underwater city from a high vantage point.

The city is surrounded by a forest of fiery red coral trees, but the outline of the city can be clearly seen.

Outside the underwater city, groups of strange fish with glowing bodies swam by. In the depths of the vast ocean, there were many such strange fish that swam like stars.

The city's architecture is unique: coral reefs have been hollowed out and renovated into crown-shaped honeycombs. Each honeycomb has a large, triumphal arch-like opening, engraved with a wondrous algae pattern. Mermaids drift in and out, creating a cacophony of sounds.

The buildings near the Jing Coral Palace also have stone statues carved from huge rocks at the archways. Some of them are shaped like various sea beasts with beautiful corals, which are very lifelike. Countless luminous pearls are inlaid on the corridors of each archway, emitting a mysterious light. There are also many water ball cages woven with seaweed, which are filled with countless fluorescent fish, just like street lamps.

The combined light was comparable to the neon-lit cities that never sleep in Wanxing's past lives. The only difference was that the sky here was made of seawater.

The honor guard surrounding [Sylphy Bosai] was walking on the central avenue of this underwater city that never sleeps.

This central avenue is very clean, inlaid with the most gems and luminous pearls, and emits the hottest light. Even the algae and shells wrapped around it are arranged into beautiful patterns according to certain patterns.

The coming of age of [Sylphy Bosai] brought a lively celebration to this underwater city.

As the honor guard passed by, countless huge and dull conch horns were blasted. The mermaids in the buildings on both sides of the central avenue quickly lined up and emerged from the honeycomb-like arches, emitting cheers and blessings like waves.

Like humans on land, ordinary mermaids also like to watch the fun, especially the fun surrounding the royal princess.

The honor guard circled the underwater city along the central avenue and paraded for about half an hour before arriving at an ancient and majestic temple!

With their arrival, some unknown magic circle was triggered, and the entire temple suddenly became radiant with light, illuminating every detail. Two gigantic stone mermaid statues holding tridents stood at the temple's entrance, with blazing rays emanating from their eyes.

Seeing that they had arrived at the destination, Wanxing also controlled Xingyi to fly down and landed next to [Silphie Poseidon].

"This temple is an ancient temple dedicated to the Sea God by our mermaid tribe. Every member of the royal family who reaches adulthood will come here to seek the glorious protection of the Sea God." [Sylphy Poseidon] introduced it to Wanxing lightly, as if it was a routine matter.

"Then what do you need me to do?" Wan Xing asked.

"No...you just need to follow," Sylphy replied softly without looking up at him.

Wanxing nodded, happy to be at ease.

He ordered Xingyi to change back into loli form, because the dragon form was too large and obviously could not enter the temple - although the temple was majestic and huge, this was from the perspective of mermaids and humans.

The entrance to the temple is a hundred meters high and about fifty meters wide, which is indeed exaggeratedly large for mermaids and humans.

But for Xingyi, who is in the form of a giant dragon with a body length of hundreds of meters, he can't get in, no matter how hard he tries!

Wanxing, holding Luo Ai'er in his left hand and Xing Yi in his right hand, followed the guard of honor into the temple entrance with a step that ignored all relatives. The corridor inside was tall and deep. The walls along the way were decorated with countless beautiful patterns made of coral and agate, inlaid with night-shining pearls. It was magnificent and luxurious to the extreme. Countless clam shells were used to grow exotic flowers underwater, which bloomed their smiles under the hazy light of the night-shining pearls.

At the end of the corridor is the temple's main hall, with a smooth floor paved with pearls and surrounded by crystal-carved mermaid statues. The eyes of these statues radiate light, illuminating the deep hall.

This towering hall is almost two hundred meters high. In the center there is a high altar with a giant sea clam on it. The clam shell is half open, forming a natural throne, and half lying inside is the statue of the sea god.

Below the altar, the mermaid tribe's chieftain [Victoria Poseidon] and nine elders were already standing there.

The honor guard needed to circle the underwater city to celebrate with the people, so it was delayed for half an hour. They could go directly to the temple, so they waited here early.

The young heroes following behind the elders were looking at Wanxing with envy and jealousy.

Wanxing naturally would not swallow their anger and glared back fiercely.

If vision had special effects, the temple hall would be covered by lightning and thunder at this moment.

However, this eye contact did not last long, because the clan leader [Victoria Poseidon] took the lead in kneeling before the crowned statue of Poseidon, loudly praising the name and glory of Poseidon.

The other mermaids present naturally had no choice but to kneel and prostrate themselves reverently.

Wan Xing just bowed slightly. He was a time traveler and had an unlimited system plug-in. As long as he didn't die, he would be on par with the Sea God in the future, and it was possible that he would even surpass him. Bending down was considered a courtesy.

As he bent down, a huge magic circle suddenly unfolded above the head of the Poseidon statue.

Then, obscure divine spells rang out, and Wan Xing suddenly felt a flash before his eyes. Countless dazzling lights irritated his eyes and made them squint into slits.

In the eyes of the other mermaids, Wanxing and [Sylphy Poseidon] were simultaneously enveloped by a beam of light.

"Blessing of the Sea God?"

"how is this possible?"

"Why would you bestow protection on a half-blood human..."

Countless exclamations were heard.

Especially the two parents, Victoria Posey and Latifah Posey, were extremely excited, surprised and happy.

Chapter 118: Immunity to Water Magic

The reason they were surprised was that the [Blessing of the Sea God] was very powerful, and it was only bestowed upon the most loving mermaid couples!

The key is that the probability is very, very low.

In fact, in the mermaid clan, there has not been a mermaid couple blessed by the [Sea God] for nearly a thousand years.

It is indeed somewhat unexpected that it now appears in Wanxing, a human who only has one billionth of mermaid blood.

After all, today is the first time Wanxing and [Silphie Bosai] meet, and they didn’t show much affection along the way!

The mermaid leader [Victoria Poseidon] thought with satisfaction: Giving the blessing out of the ordinary, it seems that the sea god is very optimistic about this marriage. Fortunately, I just went against the crowd and agreed to Latifa's recommendation, otherwise the loss would be great.

"This is blasphemy! The Sea God would never bless a half-blood human!"

[Yanifu], who had just been healed by the Great Elder, almost went crazy and roared in helplessness and rage.

Being easily defeated by Wanxing was already difficult for [Yanifu] to accept.

But thinking about how arrogant Her Royal Highness Princess Sylphie is, she would definitely look down on mixed-race humans. Then, according to the rule of succession, he, the second place, still has a chance!

So [Yanifu] forced himself to calm down, ready to watch Wanxing's embarrassed look after being rejected in public, and take the opportunity to make fun of him.

But now that Wanxing and Xierfei have received the [Blessing of the Sea God], according to the tradition of the mermaid clan, the two of them have skipped the tedious stages of dating, engagement, marriage... and directly become the most loving mermaid couple in one step!

This completely dashed [Yanifu]'s expectations. How could he remain calm?

"Shut up! You bastard! How can you question the discrimination in Lord Poseidon's divine decree?"

[Victoria Poseidon] waved her hand with a cold face and blasted [Yanifu] out of the temple.

Wan Xing no longer had any interest in paying attention to the jealousy of his defeated opponent.

With the blessing of the Sea God, he is equivalent to having the Sea God as his backer on the side of the mermaid clan.

Faced with the provocation of a clown like [Yanifu], Wanxing doesn't even need to take action himself. The anger of [Victoria Poseidon] alone is enough for them to bear.

This is just the benefit of the blessing of the sea god.

Wanxing opened his information panel to check the detailed effect of this blessing:

【Blessing of the Sea God】

[Type: Protection]

[Blessings to: Wanxing Russell & Sylphy Posey]

[Special Effect 1: Immune to water magic, sorcery, or other abilities composed of water elements from demigods and below!]

[Special Effect 2: Mermaid couples blessed by the Sea God can gain more special effects through numerous acts of affection (dual cultivation).]

[Introduction: To awaken the next stage of special effects, one hundred acts of affection are required.]

To be honest, Wanxing felt that the effect of blessing the Sea God was a bit useless.

This thing is a magical skill for the mermaid clan.

Because more than 90% of the sea people's abilities are water-related, and there are only a handful of people at the legendary level, not to mention the demigod level.

Therefore, the mermaid couple who possess the [Blessing of the Sea God] is equivalent to turning on the invincible aura, and can defeat all the sea creatures!

But Wanxing does not live in the ocean for a long time, his main battlefield is still on land.

On the mainland, water magic is no longer mainstream. If you encounter 100 enemies, you'll be considered lucky if you find one water magician.

Therefore, the immunity to water magic of [Blessing of the Sea God] is indeed of limited use to Wanxing.

But seeing that this protection could be further upgraded, Wanxing was reluctantly satisfied.

After all, if you can upgrade, there are infinite possibilities, and the future is promising!

The key is that this upgrade method requires a large number of loving behaviors, which greatly reduces the difficulty of his conquering Sylphy.

Wanxing believes that [The Blessing of the Sea God] is absolutely attractive to the mermaid clan!

His guess was correct. As the two beams of light dissipated, Sylphy Poseidon, who had originally shown no interest in him, unexpectedly came closer to him, contrary to his usual behavior.

"Ten Thousand Stars..." Xi Erfei plucked the harp, the tinkling sound continued, and pretended to be casual and said: "The song you just hummed was very nice, I like it very much."

"Your Highness, the beautiful and noble Princess Sylphy, those songs, like the one at the beginning, were not composed by me."

Wanxing answered Sylphy's questions with a perfect and impeccable attitude, neither humble nor arrogant.

Now that he knows that the supply and demand relationship has reversed, he is naturally not in a hurry.

"I know," Sylphy chuckled, tucking a lock of her long golden hair behind her ear, revealing her fair earlobe. "You're so humble, I guess you're also a noble among humans!"

"Indeed, my father is the Duke of the Magic Empire, but the establishment of the Russell family is also inseparable from the support of our ancestor Latifah!"

"Well, when I was a kid, I heard Aunt Latifah tell me about her experiences after she came ashore... What a wonderful love story!!" Sylphy smiled at Wanxing. "So, ever since I was little, I've wanted to be like Aunt Latifah, to travel the continent and experience human music... Wanxing, can you take me there?"

"As much as I'd love to, I've had a lot to do these past two years and haven't had time to travel... But if you'd just tag along, I'd definitely welcome it!"

Wan Xing's reply followed the principle of not taking the initiative, not refusing, and just taking responsibility.

Anyway, he has little interest in the [Blessing of the Sea God], and Sylphy is the one who needs it more now.

"That's enough!" Sylphy said in a gloomy tone. "Anyway, I don't have a specific destination. The only place on land that interests me the most is Russell City, built by Aunt Latifah..."

Wanxing and Xierfei were talking in whispers here.

Victoria Poseidon did not come over to disturb them upon seeing this. She smiled and continued to worship the God of the Sea with the mermaid elders and the honor guard.

The process of the celebration was very simple. After the parade and worship, Sylphy's coming-of-age ceremony was successfully concluded.

There was no engagement ceremony afterwards - because according to the traditional process, the young man who won the competition only gained the qualification to pursue the mermaid princess.

Therefore, there was no engagement ceremony arranged in the process at all - according to the time concept of immortal species like mermaids, they would have to be in a relationship for at least ten years before entering the palace of marriage.

It is precisely because of this long time difference that the lucky guy in the game has the opportunity to conquer the heroine.

Now, Wan Xing naturally would not be foolish enough to catch up with her for ten years. He chose to kidnap Sylphy and keep her by his side.

At this point, the sea mission has come to an end, and it’s time to go back!

The mission of seeking reinforcements for Russell City is completed!

The progress of intercepting the heroine is also very gratifying!

Although they are not engaged, having received the [Blessing of the Sea God] doesn't really make much difference. At least in the minds of the mermaids, this thing is more reliable than a marriage certificate.

There are so many mermaid couples who get married, but the [Blessing of the Sea God] only appears once every thousand years. It is the greatest proof of their love!

Both in terms of quality and quantity, it is much more precious.

Chapter 119: Claire takes the first step

The only thing Wanxing had to worry about was that because of the issues of taking sides and conflicts, the elders of the mermaid tribe might have developed hostility towards him.

But it's not a big problem. As the saying goes, when the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. He doesn't need to be too afraid of those elders.
