“It should be around here,” he said.

Then, he took out the undersea protective hair mask he bought from Mona for a high price, put it on, turned his head, and saw Lin Xinghe’s black and beautiful soft hair frizzing into a lion’s mane, revealing her entire face. Xiao Xue Ji had turned into an ant and hid in Lin Xinghe’s pocket for the ride. At this moment, she crawled out and changed back into a cat, and her fur also frizzed.

Jiuge said, “You two really have a lot of hair. I’m envious.”

Lin Xinghe pulled back her hair and tied it into a high ponytail. She said calmly, “I’m going in.”

She jumped off the broom and dived into the sea.

Xiao Xue Ji immediately turned into a green snake and slithered into the sea.

Jiuge stored his broom away and followed closely behind.

Although they didn’t know the exact location of the hadal ogre’s palace, they stopped at the place where the hadal ogres boarded the cruise. Their lair was likely down below.

Thanks to Mona’s black magic potion, Lin Xinghe felt like she had grown gills and didn’t feel uncomfortable swimming in the sea. Xiao Xue Ji had a great time at the bottom of the sea, and the marine creatures swimming around her also expanded her range of illusions.

When Xiao Xue Ji first dove into the sea, she was still a green snake. In a short period of time, she had already changed into several different lifeforms and finally turned into a colorful clown fish, swimming happily around Lin Xinghe.

The scenery of the seabed was no less stunning than that which was on land.

Lin Xinghe admired the magnificent scenery of the seabed all the way to the bottom.

Just when Jiuge was about to say that wandering around like this was not a good plan, he saw that Lin Xinghe was swept away in a rapid current.

When Jiuge followed Lin Xinghe to rescue her, he found that she was standing behind a reef structure with half of her head poking out, looking away from him.

Jiuge followed her line of sight.

The palace in the painting of the bride stood grandly in front of the two of them.

Jiuge calmed down.

Sure enough, there was no need to worry about Lin Xinghe, since she was blessed with luck.

Jiuge swam behind Lin Xinghe, and did not poke his head out with Lin Xinghe to look at the palace under the sea. He huddled in the corner, quietly acting as a shield.

The underwater palace was grandiose; strands of large, lustrous pearls were embedded in the walls at regular intervals, gently illuminating the faintly glowing sides of the palace. Priceless jewels were inlaid amongst the pearls, and fancily patterned shells dotted the borders. Colorful corals were planted on all sides of the palace, and huge sea turtles guarded the entrance.

Lin Xinghe compared the current scenery to the painting and found that there were still important differences between the two.

The fields around the path leading up to the palace in the painting were full of white roses, while the fields here didn’t even have a shadow of seaweed, let alone roses.

It was also at this time that a huge creature walked out of the palace gate. He was three or four meters high and looked like a human, but his whole body was green except for his head. His head was ivory white, and his hair was so untinted and translucent, it was more ocean-blue than white.

He and the turtles at the entrance of the palace communicated to each other in an unknown language, and the creature left the palace without discovering Lin Xinghe and the others.

After he left, Lin Xinghe lowered her head and whisper-bubbled to Xiao Xue Ji.

After speaking, Xiao Xue Ji twisted her tail once and swam into the distance.

Not long after, an hadal ogre returned.

This time, the hadal ogre seemed a little clumsy. Walking on the seafloor, he stumbled a few times and almost fell to the ground. But soon, he mastered walking and standing and stood firm.

Seeing this, Lin Xinghe pulled Jiuge around the reef and walked towards the hadal ogre.

The hadal ogre- Xiao Xue Ji – carried one in each hand and walked to the door of the palace.

【Is this a hadal ogre? Gosh, I want to lament Lilith’s taste, how did she fall in love with a hadal ogre? 】

【Actually, I am more curious about the bedroom life of Lilith and the hadal ogre chief? How did they? 】

【How can people think of these things?? 】

【Stop talking, I won’t be able to look at the hadal ogres in the same way. 】

【I just want to know what Lin Xinghe’s gonna do after sneaking in! 】

The two giant turtles at the gate of the palace seemed a little surprised. They glanced at the two humans on the shoulders of the hadal ogre and lowered their heads to open the gate.

Lin Xinghe and Jiuge successfully infiltrated the stronghold.

There was a wide road inside.

There were four tall statues on either side of the path. Each side had a couple, the man wearing an emperor’s crown and the woman an empress’s diadem. The names of the statues were also engraved underneath: Anthony I and Lilith on the left, Anthony II and Ma Xiaomei on the right.

Lin Xinghe glanced at the two statues wearing crowns. Probably because the sculptures were all the same color, she couldn’t tell the difference between the turned humans and the hadal ogres. But the monuments were lifelike, and the two human beings were beautiful and delicate.

Cutting across the wide path, there was a fountain, if fountains could be called that underwater. Warm jets of water and bubbles sprayed from several large, bright pearls laid out on the seabed. Surrounding the Pearl Fountains was an underwater flower bed, which was colorful, although Lin Xinghe didn’t know what species were in there.

In the distance, two hadal ogres discussed something loudly.
