Chapter 1656: Chapter 1654: Arrival at Undersea City
Yu Chong left, but Gui Haoâs expression became even more somber.
"Senior Gui Hao, whatâs wrong?" Seeing Gui Haoâs strange expression, Ling Feng asked.
"This Shark People Clan is very suspicious!" Gui Hao said in a deep voice, "Even if they knew of the Little Princessâs whereabouts, they couldnât have let Yu Chong take the Gnawing Beast to fetch the Little Princess like this! Itâs quite unreasonable!"
With Gui Haoâs words, Ling Feng also furrowed his brows: "Indeed, Guli Jia is after all the Little Princess of the Fishmen Race, such behavior... itâs no different from blatant robbery!"
Gui Hao took a deep breath, "We need to speed up; I suspect... something has gone wrong within the Fishmen Race."
With that, Gui Hao turned and went back inside the Mount Sumeru Whale.
In the following period, Gu Hao increased speed, and what was originally a two-month journey only took them half a month to reach the vicinity of the Undersea City.
"Has an incident really occurred?" Gui Hao sensed the strict guard around the Undersea City, his heart sinking; as the Imperial Capital of the Fishmen Race, it was usually loose on the outside and tight on the inside, but now, even the external guards were so strict, which was enough to show that something significant had happened in the Undersea City!
When Gui Hao and others appeared near the Undersea City, the guards of the Fishmen Race immediately spotted them.
"Little Princess Guli Jia has returned, Little Princess Guli Jia has returned! Hurry and report to His Majesty!" the Fishmen Race guards shouted loudly.
Soon, the news of the Little Princessâs return reached the lord of the Fishmen Race.
"That damn girl, she still knows how to come back!" The lord of the Fishmen Race, a handsome middle-aged man, slapped the table furiously: "I must teach her a good lesson!"
"Alright, Gu Lin, if you hadnât spoiled her before, would she have dared to do this?" A gorgeous woman beside Gu Lin snorted coldly: "Stop pretending with me, but letâs be clear, this time we canât indulge her anymore!"
"My Lady, listen to yourself, this is our daughter, donât you love her?" Gu Lin chuckled, "Besides, since Jia Erâs marriage has already been postponed, why not..."
"Oh you!" the woman said in exasperation, "A fatherâs indulgence spoils the daughter, forget it, I wonât bother dealing with it, but the recent movements of the Shark People Clan are growing bigger and bigger, if..."
Upon hearing this, a serious expression appeared on Gu Linâs face, "Indeed, the Shark People Clan has become arrogant lately, but letâs discuss this later, letâs go see our daughter first, I canât believe all this time, you havenât missed her!"
The woman glanced at Gu Lin: "You know yet still act dawdling around, hurry up and go see your daughter, who knows how much hardship sheâs faced out there!"
Gu Lin shrugged, knowing well his wifeâs typical behaviorâsharp words but a soft heart.
When Gu Lin saw Gui Hao and the four arriving, he stood up suddenly, looking incredulously at Gui Hao behind Guli Jia!
"Gui Hao, is it you? It really is you! Youâve finally come back!" Gu Lin rushed to Gui Hao, excited.
Gui Hao smiled slightly, kneeling on one knee: "Your Majesty, itâs me, Iâve returned, it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who saved me, and I brought back the item!"
Gui Hao didnât specify, but Gu Lin knew exactly what Gui Hao was talking about!
The treasure of the Fishmen Race, the Innate Spirit Pearl! It had actually returned with Gui Hao.
"Good, good, hahahaha, this is wonderful!" Gu Lin laughed heartily: "Today, our Fishmen Race has triple blessings, worthy of a grand celebration!"
Gui Hao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, donât be too quick to celebrate, let me introduce two people to you."
Saying this, Gui Hao pulled Ling Feng over: "Your Majesty, this is Ling Feng, who is also my savior, as well as the savior of the Little Princess, and he is the current Dragon God Successor!"
Looking at the dignified Ling Feng, Gu Lin appraised Ling Feng with an admiring gaze: "Good, good indeed, truly a talent, heroes indeed come from young generations!"
"Ling Feng is not only the Dragon God Successor but also my fiancĂ©!" At this moment, Princess Yunxuan stepped forward, wrapped her arm around Ling Fengâs, and said with a bright smile.
Gui Hao had not pointed out Ling Fengâs identity as the son-in-law of the Demon King, which made Princess Yun Xuan quite angry because these Fishmen Race individuals were each more difficult than the last, always trying to steal her fiancĂ©!
"And this young lady is..."
"This is the Demon Kingâs Princess, Her Royal Highness Princess Yun Xuan of the Abyssal Court!" Gui Hao glanced lightly at Princess Yun Xuan and said, "Ling Feng also has another identity, that is, he is the fiancĂ© of Princess Yun Xuan."
Gu Linâs brow slightly furrowed, as the relationship between the Sea of Spiritual Void and Abyss Continent wasnât very harmonious, not entirely hostile, but certainly not friendly either.
"Your Majesty, may I have a word with you?" Gui Hao said to Gu Lin quietly at this moment.
Gu Lin smiled: "Everyone must be exhausted from the long journey, Jia Er, now that youâve returned, donât you know how much your mother has missed you? Hurry and find your mother!"
After saying so, Gu Lin looked at Ling Feng and Princess Yun Xuan: "You two, please rest first, and later I will host a banquet to welcome you. How does that sound?"
Ling Feng knew that Gui Hao and Gu Lin had things to discuss, so he nodded: "Everything according to Your Majestyâs arrangements!"
Once everyone was settled, only Gu Lin and Gui Hao remained.
Gui Hao turned his hand, revealing a radiant pearl in his palm.
Seeing this pearl, Gu Linâs face lit up with excitement: "The treasure of my Fishmen Race, the Innate Spirit Pearl, has finally returned to us!"
With a wave of his hand, the Innate Spirit Pearl gently fell into Gu Linâs palm, bursting into a brilliant prismatic glow, revealing a scene in which a swarm of enormous Sea Beasts were rampaging through the Sea of Spiritual Void, surrounded by countless corpses, including those of the Fishmen Race and the Shark People Clan.
The scene flickered quickly, and Gu Lin slowly opened his eyes: "The future... is still so unclear, but this is enough, the Sea Beast Tribe, indeed, remains a serious threat to our Fishmen Race!"
After putting away the Innate Spirit Pearl, Gu Lin held Gui Haoâs hand and said: "Youâve truly endured much these years, come, tell me what happened all this time!"
Gui Hao smiled and said: "Back then, when the Innate Spirit Pearl was stolen, I was sent to chase the thief, and after a long pursuit, I found their lair. It was shockingly the Black Dragon Clan of the Abyssal Demon Abyss..."
Slowly, Gui Hao recounted the events of those years to Gu Lin, also telling him about being sealed by the Necromantic Array until Ling Feng and the Little Princess arrived not long ago, finally rescuing him!
