Chapter 1649: Chapter 1647: Three-Way Standoff
Gui Hao smiled and said, "Our Sea of Spiritual Void is in the south of the continent. Itâs very large, not smaller than the Abyss Continent, but itâs much more dangerous than the Abyss Continent. There are places even the Fishmen Race doesnât dare to venture into lightly."
Ling Feng said in surprise, "Even the Fishmen Race doesnât dare to venture into? Are such places very dangerous?"
"Indeed very dangerous. I once accidentally entered an unfamiliar water area. Back then, I wasnât as strong as I am now, and I almost got entangled by the blood-sucking waterweeds there!" Gui Hao shook his head and said, "Moreover, in the Sea of Spiritual Void, itâs not just us Mermaid Clan!"
"Iâve mentioned, the Sea of Spiritual Void is vast. Besides the Mermaid Clan, there are also the Undersea Netherworld Clan, Shark People Clan, and Sea Beast Tribe!" Gui Hao said, "The strength of the Mermaid Clan is slightly inferior to the Sea Beast Tribe, about on par with the Shark People Clan, but the Undersea Netherworld is quite mysterious, and even I donât know where their stronghold lies."
"So now, the Sea of Spiritual Void is in a tripod situation!" Gui Hao said, "Also, an important matter is that our clan leader of the Mermaid Clan has three sons but only one daughter!"
Ling Feng was momentarily stunned, then glanced at the carriage behind, "Senior, you mean..."
"Guli Jia is our Little Princess, the only princess, so both the Clan Leader and her three brothers dote on her immensely!" Gui Hao looked at Ling Feng with a not-quite-there smile, "In other words, if Little Princess claims someone bullied her, it will definitely cause an earthquake in the Mermaid Clan!"
Ling Feng laughed, "Itâs fine, Iâve never bullied her..."
No sooner had he said that than Guli Jiaâs aggrieved voice came through, "Youâre bullying me; Iâm going to find Brother Feng!"
"Little girl, you still want to fight me? Youâre too tender for that!" This was Princess Yun Xuanâs triumphant voice.
Hearing this, Ling Feng suddenly felt a cold sweat running down.
...
The journey to the Sea of Spiritual Void was long. Ling Feng and the other three took over a month to reach the Sea of Spiritual Voidâs perimeter, without any rush.
"Pass through this city, cross the tall mountain in front, and youâll reach the Sea of Spiritual Void!" Gui Hao said.
Ling Feng, smelling the salty sea breeze in the air, felt a sense of wonder, because the attire of people here was quite different from those heâd met before, and in the crowd were some peculiar creatures.
"These are from the Shark People Clan!" Gui Hao explained, "The Shark People Clan differs from the Mermaid Clan. The Mermaids naturally have human upper bodies and fish tails, whereas the Shark People have fish bodies and human legs. The Sea Beast Tribe are the half-beast men of the Sea Clan, which makes them easy to distinguish!"
At this moment, a commotion arose ahead, and Guli Jiaâs small eyes flashed with excitement. "Brother Feng, letâs go and see!"
Saying that, Guli Jia pulled Ling Feng by the arm, moving forward, while Princess Yun Xuan clung to Ling Fengâs other arm.
"Are you a child? You just run wherever thereâs excitement?" Princess Yun Xuan said with disdain.
"None of your business!" Guli Jia looked at Princess Yun Xuan in dissatisfaction.
Ling Feng felt a headache coming on. He patted Guli Jia on the shoulder and said, "Alright, stop arguing. Weâre going over anyway, so letâs check out whatâs going on too!"
"Great!" Guli Jia made a face at Princess Yun Xuan, then hurriedly ran ahead.
Ling Feng looked at Princess Yun Xuan with some helplessness and said, "Princess, canât you just get along with Guli Jia peacefully? You should also know we are about to send Guli Jia back to the Mermaid Clan. We wonât have many chances to meet afterward; is it necessary to be at odds with her?"
Princess Yun Xuan blinked, "Thatâs true. Well, alright, Iâll be magnanimous and not hold it against her!"
Ling Feng smiled wryly. In his eyes, Guli Jia and Princess Yun Xuan were both like little girls who hadnât grown up emotionally!
Arriving at the scene of the commotion, Ling Feng realized it was a dispute between someone from the Shark People Clan and one of the Abyss Tribespeople!
Although the relations between the Abyss Continent and the Sea of Spiritual Void werenât harmonious, both parties still frequently exchange goods here, as profit is a motivator that drives everything, even in alternate dimensions!
"Whatâs happening?" Ling Feng asked curiously as he approached Guli Jiaâs side.
Guli Jia said, "It seems this person from the Shark People Clan had a conflict with the stall owner, but I donât know the specifics!"
At this time, a burly man from the Shark People Clan waved a Clam Pearl in his hand and shouted loudly, "I clearly sold you a Deep Sea Night Pearl just now. You turned and handed me back a Clam Pearl, saying my Night Pearl is fake. Isnât that bullying?"
The stall owner shrugged and said, "What you gave me was this. Besides, even if it was a Deep Sea Night Pearl, its price is about the same as a Clam Pearl. I think youâre blackmailing me. I need to do business, and if you delay me, beware of being caught by the Patrol Guards!"
"Too much bullying! The value of a Deep Sea Night Pearl is hundreds of times that of a Clam Pearl. How could it be the same price!" the Shark People man shouted, "Return my Night Pearl, or Iâll smash your stall!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng understood. It seemed this man from the Shark People Clan came to sell a Night Pearl, but the stall owner switched it with a Clam Pearl, and the price couldnât be agreed upon, so the Shark People guy was pestering him!
"This stall owner is so despicable!" Guli Jia grumbled, "A real unscrupulous merchant."
Ling Feng smiled. He wasnât going to jump to any conclusions before things became clear. Clearly, Guli Jia had already taken sides with the Sea of Spiritual Void tribe.
"Hand over the Night Pearl, or Iâll smash your stall!" The burly man from the Shark People Clan yelled again, "Donât push me!"
"Push you? I donât tolerate such bad habits. Want to create a scene? Youâre wrong!" The stall owner wasnât someone easy to deal with and directly rebuked him.
"Looking for trouble!" The burly Shark People manâs eyes turned red, and he swung his large hand toward the stall ownerâs head.
"How dare you!" The stall owner wasnât to be outdone either. With a wave of his hand, he started brawling with the Shark People man.
Both were in the God Realm, and the shockwaves from their battle werenât too severe. The surrounding spectators watched with great interest, occasionally commenting on their moves.
"What a peculiar place!" Ling Feng murmured to himself.
