Chapter 809
At this point, the other escorting submarines had also come to a halt, and a group of attendants walked over. Hearing Li Yu’s question, the highest-ranking officer among the attendants spoke up, “Mr. Li, my surname is Han. You can call me Deputy Han. I will arrange everything for Your Highness the Queen and your trip, Sir. Whatever you fancy, just go ahead and buy it—I’ll pick up the tab.”
“Oh, really? What is this building for?”
“This is Sea Rhythm Tower. Sea Rhythm Tower is the bustling one-stop business center for dining, entertainment, and leisure in the capital. Your Highness the Queen, Mr. Li, this way, please.” Deputy Han gestured invitingly and led the way, with more than twenty guards escorting them.
Someone else is paying? Ye Xingguang’s mind immediately sprang to life, pulling Li Yu’s arm and murmuring softly, “I want to buy a communication ring.”
“What’s that?”
Ye Xingguang pointed to the ring on Deputy Han’s finger, “That thing, it’s the upgraded version of a cellphone!”
I really want one!
Li Yu glanced at it twice: “It seems pretty interesting, where can we buy it?”
“Electronics are on the fifteenth floor.” Deputy Han immediately pressed the button for the fifteenth floor.
Standing in the semi-circular elevator, which was transparent, one could see the colorful world outside. Ye Xingguang stood in front of the elevator, casually looking out the window at the underwater world, and caught a glimpse of a mermaid swimming past the transparent glass in front of the elevator… was it an illusion?
In this world, aside from Xia Yanyan, she was the only mermaid.
How could she possibly see a mermaid swimming freely in the sea?
Moreover, the Empire absolutely prohibited anyone from buying mermaid costumes to pretend to be mermaids swimming around in the sea because mermaids were sacred sea gods in the hearts of the citizens of the Empire, not to be violated or disrespected by anyone.
Xia Yanyan could hardly contain her own vanity, eager for the people here to know her identity.noveldrama
Sure enough, she turned heads one hundred percent of the time.
Xia Yanyan especially relished the attention she received from all directions, roaming about and freely displaying her unique charm.
Geshu Yuan was in an exceptionally bad mood today because the heir to the vampire clan was coming to propose marriage to that damn Muya Jiushu. Once the two married, Muya Jiushu would ascend the throne as the Emperor. If it weren’t for Muya Jiushu’s existence, the current Empress would have been the already deceased Third Princess. Damn Muya Jiushu, damn mermaid!
Geshu Yuan was seething with resentment, dragging some close friends out shopping to clear her mind, when out of nowhere, she lifted her head to see a beautiful mermaid swimming past her, with many onlookers staring at the mermaid.
A spark of anger flared in Geshu Yuan’s beautiful eyes: “Who is that coquettish harlot flaunting herself in a mermaid costume? Doesn’t she know the Empire forbids girls from wearing mermaid attire? It’s a grave disrespect to the sea god!”
The close friends accompanying Geshu Yuan also felt dissatisfied when they saw Xia Yanyan becoming the most eye-catching spectacle on the street.
After all, everyone else only dared to wear such attire in the privacy of their homes; until now, nobody had the nerve to strut around outside in it!
Before heading out, they had dressed with great care, choosing from a dozen outfits to find the one that satisfied them most, hoping to be the brightest star on the streets. But someone had cheated; just by wearing a mermaid costume, they outshone everyone else. Which girl would be content with that?
Instantly, they all followed Geshu Yuan, swimming towards Xia Yanyan: “Hey, woman in front, stop right there!”
