Chapter 539: 425
Long Yi walked out of the Imperial Palace with tears in his eyes. The thought of the enormous tiger whale girl, who stood at a height of ten meters and had feelings for him, sent shivers down his spine. Although interspecies romance was not uncommon in this multi-dimensional universe, they usually existed between species with not much difference in physical appearances. However, the case with Long Yi and Ruosha...
Long Yi shuddered at the thought. He was certain that Ruosha was simply infatuated with him, much like those who are crazed about cats and dogs, even to the point of wanting to marry them.
Hmm, he should find a chance to sit her down and talk this out.
The swordfish from last time had once again taken on the task of transporting Long Yi to the battlefield. After a sequence of high-speed navigation, the smell of blood started to fill the waters ahead, and they became increasingly murky. At the same time, Long Yi started to see more and more members of the Sea Clan in the team! And as they passed a gigantic reef, the brutal battle was laid out before Long Yi’s eyes in the wide seabed plain ahead.
Limbs, entrails. The Sea Clan used their claws, teeth, and poisonous stingers to overpower their opponents. They consumed the flesh and blood of their enemies to recuperate their own energy; then they themselves were devoured by others in the blink of an eye.
This, was the battlefield of the Sea Clan!
On one side of it, a completely different war was unfolding.
Two enormous silhouettes incessantly clashed within the murky waters. The immense collisions even resulted in bursts of steam at the seafloor and emanated white light.
Those were two sea dragons of similar makeup, the Crab Dragon and Shrimp Dragon, engaged in battle.
Both possessed heavy armor and huge pincers. However, compared to the Crab Dragon’s considerably more resilient armor, the Shrimp Dragon’s pincers were significantly larger!
As such, neither could gain the upper hand over the other for the moment!
Beside the Shrimp Dragon, Long Yi saw a massive anchor swinging about, repeatedly slamming into the random soldiers attacking the Shrimp Dragon. Judging from the design of the anchor, it must belong to Ruosha, though Long Yi didn’t see her colossal figure.
Long Yi remembered that Mina’s dragon was a Shrimp Dragon. So, the Shrimp Dragon at the forefront of the battle should be Mina!
Two Female Demon Avatars flew out from Long Yi, giggling as they charged forward. The Crab Dragon Rider, who also belonged to the Sea Emperor’s clan, instantly screamed in fright when he saw them. The Crab Dragon tried to block the Female Demons with its huge pincers, but the Female Demons effortlessly dodged, unaffected by the seawater. Laughing, they raised their hands and cast two enormous Ice Spears.
The Crab Dragon immediately put out its pincers to block the Ice Spears. However, two bigger pincers came flying in and the Shrimp Dragon’s massive pincers cleanly severed one of the Crab Dragon’s pincers!
Having lost a pincer, the Crab Dragon was no match for the Shrimp Dragon. The Crab Dragon Rider, stationed between the Crab Dragon’s eyes, shouted loudly, then started retreating quickly. The two Female Demons circled around and simultaneously rushed at the Dragon Rider, unloading a Mental Impact. The Crab Dragon, which had been retreating, suddenly stopped. Almost at the same moment, a Dragon Spear came whistling by.
Because of the sea water’s viscosity, Long Yi had thrown the spear with all his strength and Fighting aura. The Dragon Rider, not knowing what was happening, was directly speared in the chest and screamed as he flew out.
By this time, the Shrimp Dragon had also caught up. It pulled back its enormous pincers, the pincers snapping shut into a conical shape. The whole body then tensed up in preparation for an attack. After that, a loud explosion was heard. A large bubble formed at the tip of the pincers, and the Crab Dragon was simply skewered by the Shrimp Dragon’s pincers!
"Great! Fantastic! Long live Princess Mina! Hahaha! Those idiots from Bangi can go to hell!" The swordfish carrying Long Yi shouted next to him. At this time, Long Yi was standing on the seabed, having already created two trenches in the bedrock under his feet. He had landed on the rock bed before throwing the Dragon Spear, otherwise, the backlash from his throw would have cost the swordfish its life.
The victorious Shrimp Dragon let out a series of roars. The side that had lost the Crab Dragon immediately disintegrated and started to retreat hastily. However, the victorious side didn’t take up the chase but celebrated cheerfully at their location.
The Shrimp Dragon tossed the Crab Dragon aside, then slowly made its way towards Long Yi.
When it’s said to be slow, it was because the Shrimp Dragon’s movements were really sluggish. But that didn’t mean the Shrimp Dragon was actually slow. Soon, it arrived in front of Long Yi, following which a small head emerged from below the sword shield on top of the Shrimp Dragon.
"Big Brother!"
Upon seeing Long Yi, Mina immediately pounced on him with joy.
Laughing, Long Yi caught Mina in his arms and spun her around once before stopping.
"I was awesome, wasn’t I, Big Brother?" Mina craned her neck, obviously waiting for Long Yi to sing her praises.
"Awesome!" Long Yi nodded. "But this is too dangerous. As a princess, how could you rush to the frontline of the battlefield?"
"Isn’t it precisely because I’m a princess that I should rush to the frontline of the battlefield?" Mina counter-argued.
"But what if you get hurt?"
"Nothing will happen! I am very powerful! And I have a very strong Shrimp Dragon to help me!" Mina looked up at the giant Shrimp Dragon and waved at it enthusiastically. As if on cue, the originally intimidating Shrimp Dragon started to shrink gradually, finally turning into a headpiece no bigger than an ordinary lobster, resting on Mina’s hair.
"Besides, I have Ruosha to protect me!" said Mina.
"Hmm, Ruosha, where is she? I did see the anchor..." Amidst the murky seawater, Long Yi saw the massive anchor moving up and down, but didn’t see the towering figure of the Tiger Whale Warrior.
"That’s not it! Big brother is a dummy!" Mina pointed at the looming figure beneath the anchor.
As they got closer, the figure became clearer. When Long Yi could fully see it, he was completely dumbfounded.
It was a small girl, even shorter than Mina, not even as tall as Little Zi! She had short black hair, her big eyes looking somewhere, her fair face blushed, her delicate body covered by only a few seashells... the most noticeable was the massive anchor she was handling. When Long Yi first saw it in Ruoshan’s hands, he already felt its enormity. Now compared to her small body, it was exceptionally large!
"Hey, this girl is..." Long Yi felt his hand trembling.
"Idiot! She is Ruosha!"
Boom! The massive anchor on her shoulder dropped onto the rock bed beside her.
"Long Yi! I am Ruosha!" She whispered with a thin voice, trying to appear bold but it only made her even cuter.
"Erm, Little Zi, I think I might have been struck by a Sea Demon’s mental magic, help me to break it fast!" Long Yi said in a hurry.
"You’re not under any illusion, Brother Long, I see the same thing as you." Little Zi looked at Ruosha, also with a face of disbelief.
"What’s going on?" Long Yi was puzzled.
"Isn’t it all for you!" Mina laughed, hugging Ruosha, giving Long Yi a white eye.
Turns out, everyone had thought of Ruosha liking Long Yi a joke. Some even thought she was just messing around with him. No one thought she was serious! As a Tiger Whale Warrior, she, of course, understood the impossibility of being with Long Yi, as a human. So, she began to seek a way to become a human.
After Mina found out, she went to ask her father, the Sea Emperor Boris for help. After referring to lots of knowledge, Boris revealed that there was a way.
In the sea, there is a creature known as a Mimicry Squid Dragon. This strange creature could transform into any form which made it exceptional at both hunting and evading predators. What Ruosha needed to do was to kill a Mimicry Squid Dragon single-handedly, and obtain the key to its transformative ability - its mimicry ink sac. Then, by swallowing the ink sac and combining Sea Emperor’s secret spell, she could transform herself into a human.
The process might sound simple, but the Mimicry Squid Dragon is not easily killed given its unique transformative ability. The Sea Emperor merely tried to give Ruosha some hope. In the vast ocean, not many had even seen a Mimicry Squid Dragon, let alone killed one.
Yet, three days later, Ruosha really returned with the ink sac of a Mimicry Squid Dragon.
Boris was sweating bullets at that moment.
According to Ruosha’s story, she was really aggravated by the lack of clues about the Mimicry Squid Dragon and went to a deserted reef area to vent her frustration. She mindlessly swung the massive anchor around, and in the muddied seawater, a Mimicry Squid Dragon that was just smashed to death slowly floated up.
What unbelievable luck Ruosha had!
Boris immediately performed the secret spell of the Sea Emperor clan on Ruosha. The spell was originally meant for turning members of the Sea Emperor clan into humans. Initially, it could only be used on the clan members, but now with the Mimicry Squid Dragon’s ink sac, it could be applied to anyone from the Sea Clan.
However, Ruosha herself needs to decide on her appearance.
Poor Ruosha had not seen many humans. During her transformation, her mind was a complete chaos, and it was Little Zi’s image that was the most ingrained in her mind.
So, when the spell was completed, Ruosha transformed from a giant warrior taller than ten meters to a small lolita.
However, even though her frame changed, Ruosha’s original strength remained. Her immense physical strength still allowed her to carry the anchor everywhere. It’s just that the grip of the anchor was a bit thick and not handy for her. Also, because her body weight had lessened almost to insignificance, Ruosha had to use her inner strength to stabilize herself in the seawater, otherwise, she could only swing herself around with the anchor.
"I found a Mimicry Squid Dragon with a random swing, so I believe, our relationship is the work of the gods!" Ruosha proudly declared.
"Er, this..." Long Yi was at a loss for words, "Ruosha, you’re not of age yet, are you?" Long Yi managed to squeeze out this sentence.
"Don’t judge me by my looks! I... I am of age!" Ruosha, her cheeks red, bragged.
"A legal loli!" Long Yi’s eyes bulged out more.
"I... I know you like them bigger! But I can still grow!" Ruosha announced once more.
The massive anchor disappeared into Ruosha’s private space. Ruosha draped an arm around Long Yi’s arm, nestled her little head against him, a blissful smile on her face.
"Brother Long, from today on, you belong to me!"
Long Yi stood there stupefied, dumbstruck. Beside him, Little Zi and Mina exchanged a look and started laughing, their laughter mischievous. (To be continued.
