2383 Sea Emperor’s Pearl!
After the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting ended, Lin Yuan brought Wen Yu back to the marsh world before returning to the water world.
In just half an hour, Lin Yuan had traveled through three worlds. Eternal Source was completely unaware of this.
After Lin Yuan was done with what he needed to do, he left the bed chamber and headed to the main palace with Eternal Source.
Lin Yuan intended to have dinner with Luna to try and bait information out of her.
Lin Yuan’s sudden departure had left Luna anxious and uneasy.
When she saw Lin Yuan exit the bed chamber, Luna hurriedly went up to him and asked softly, “Lord Emperor, were the dishes not to your liking? I have already sent for new ones!”
Lin Yuan hurriedly waved his hands and replied, “You don’t have to prepare more. The original ones were fine. I just wanted to rest. Did you say that your name is Luna? How far is the nearest emperor-class mermaid?”
Luna blushed when she heard Lin Yuan call her name.
Mermaids of higher ranks always had ulterior motives when they called out the names of mermaids of lower ranks. This was an openly acknowledged rule in the world of mermaids.
When an emperor-class mermaid called out the name of a king-class expert, the king-class mermaid would either become the emperor-class mermaid’s partner or a servant at the very least.
It was an honor to serve a stronger mermaid with a more elite bloodline in the world of mermaids.
Lin Yuan did not notice the change in Luna’s expression as he was fully focused on examining Mermaid Forbidden Sea.
The dimensional lifeforms from the marsh world could produce many fruits that had unique tastes. There were numerous ones that tasted even better than those from the main world. As such, Lin Yuan had been well fed when he was staying in Marsh East Palace.
But who could have expected the mermaid diet to consist of corals and pearls?
Lin Yuan was not at all curious about the taste of these corals and pearls. He was sure that if he bit into them out of curiosity, most of his teeth would fall out!
Moreover, apart from the corals and pearls, numerous items resembled sea squirts.
Luna ate comfortably as though they were jelly.
However, the foul salty smell hit Lin Yuan even from a distance away.
Lin Yuan liked to eat fish but could not eat any that had such a foul salty smell! Moreover, his palate had already been spoiled rotten by Liu Jie, so he could not stomach even the slightest unpleasant taste!
Thus, Lin Yuan did not begin eating the pearls and corals like Luna was doing.
Given how much Luna knew about Mermaid Forbidden Sea, it was likely that she also had information on the five mermaid emperors. The location of the five mermaid emperors might have been common knowledge in the water world.
However, Lin Yuan had already found an excuse for himself.
He already told Luna that he had been in seclusion. Hence, it was not strange for him to be unaware of some of the common knowledge in the water world.
Mermaids led extremely long lives. A Samsara Realm mermaid could easily live for more than thousands of years.
Lin Yuan’s lifespan would be ‘much longer’ than Luna’s, and she had no idea how old he was.
Luna peeked at Lin Yuan as though she was trying to discern what he was thinking. But she eventually lost the courage to do so.
She composed herself and started to answer Lin Yuan’s questions seriously.
Luna had been guessing how long Lin Yuan had been in seclusion. However, it was difficult for her to come up with an accurate answer.
But it would not be appropriate for her to ask Lin Yuan. After all, they were not that close. She did not even know his name, and asking such a question would be extremely rude!
Lin Yuan’s question made Luna think that she had found the answer.
That incident had taken place 3,500 years ago in Mermaid Forbidden Sea.
Before the incident, the five emperors had been living separately and would often change where they were living. But after the incident, all of them started living together and established the Mermaid Sacred Hall to stand toe-to-toe against Grace Sacred Hall.
At that time, Grace Sacred Hall’s two rulers seemed to be showing signs of crossing that gap. One of the mermaid emperors seemed to have done something to prevent the two rulers from taking that gap, which eventually resulted in the death of that mermaid emperor.
Ever since then, the two rulers dared not bring those from Grace Sacred Hall with them anywhere near Mermaid Forbidden Sea.
Since Lin Yuan did not know about this matter, it meant that he had already been in seclusion 3,500 years ago.
Luna was only 3,000 years old. It was likely that she had not even been born when Lin Yuan had entered seclusion!
“Lord Emperor, all emperors currently reside in Mermaid Sacred Hall. Mermaid Sacred Hall is rather far from my city. Given the power of your subordinate, it will take him seven days to reach there, even if he travels at top speed. If you go to Mermaid Sacred Hall, the other five emperors will definitely personally oversee the building of a new bed chamber for you.”
Lin Yuan nodded to himself.
It seemed that the mermaid emperors were on close terms. They even worked together to build the bed chambers.
Since his mermaid emperor identity could pull the wool over Luna’s eyes, he likely would also succeed in deceiving the other emperor-class mermaids.
If he did not meet with many obstructions in Mermaid Forbidden Sea, it would be much easier for him to take control of Mermaid Forbidden Sea. At the very least, he would not encounter any significant interference.
With the mermaid emperor bloodline in his body, Lin Yuan felt innately positive toward mermaids. If it was possible, he did not want to harm mermaids.
“Where is Mermaid Sacred Hall?”
Luna hurriedly pointed to a spiral tower behind the main palace.
“Lord Emperor, I came from Mermaid Sacred Hall. In order to maintain a connection with Mermaid Sacred Hall, I had communication towers built along the entire path. I can get in contact with Mermaid Sacred Hall now using the communication towers. Would you like to communicate with Mermaid Sacred Hall? I can arrange for that now!”
Lin Yuan shook his head when he heard what Luna said. He now knew which direction to take to get to Mermaid Sacred Hall.
“A while later, I will personally head to Mermaid Sacred Hall. There’s no need to communicate with them in advance. Now that I’ve rested in your city, I intend on taking a look at the sights in the water.”
Luna was slightly disappointed when she heard that.
She had assumed that Lin Yuan would remain in her city for some time.
He had clearly called out her name.
At that moment, Lin Yuan handed Luna a pearl. The gleam of the pearl resembled an incomparably beautiful goddess.
“This pearl should be useful to you. I shall give it to you as a greeting gift!”
