Chapter 1580: Chapter 487: Pearl Combined "Bi" {On}

After the imperial banquet that left both guests and hosts delighted, Liu Shock and his mermaid slave were escorted by four silver-eyed palace maids to rest in a Crystal Tower within the inner courtyard of the Palace.

It had been almost half a month since arriving in the Demon World, yet Liu Shock was still clueless about the demons’ way of telling time. Most of this eerie place’s cities were built underground in perpetual darkness; he couldn’t fathom how these demons distinguished between day and night.

Departing from Starlight Avenue City, Liu Shock had taken a lengthy detour to shake off the spies tailing him, eventually arriving at Sariwo City on the Bollywood Continent. The imperial banquet hosted by His Majesty Clark Gable was a gathering of tigers and dragons, entangled with numerous intrigues and complex matters.

Now that the banquet was over, Liu Shock was confused whether it was day or night.

The Witch King, Clark Gable, told him to rest in the Palace and linger on the Bollywood Continent for a few days after regaining his mental strength, to celebrate their brotherhood. But what did he mean by rest—an afternoon nap or staying the night?

Might as well steal a couple of pieces of palace furniture. Liu Shock couldn’t help but secretly think.

The more Liu Shock interacted with these demons, the more puzzled he became.

He truly couldn’t figure out what filled the demons’ heads!

Even though the Demon World’s natural environment was rather harsh, these demons had evidently adapted. In terms of technological advancement, they surpassed the Aegean, enjoying better living conditions. Yet, why did these boors still cling steadfastly to their desire to invade Aegean?

Heavens to pity—it seemed as if the endless crystal artifacts of the Demon World were enough to make Old Liu sick with envy!

Take, for example, the grand hall of the Bollywood Witch King’s banquet, where the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling shone radiantly, illuminating every nook and cranny!

This level of luminescence could rival that of the Elves’ beloved "Moonstone"!

The Moonstone’s value in Aegean Continent was such that even someone as wealthy as Liu Shock wouldn’t dare use it merely for lighting, right?

Additionally, the guiding palace maid’s blue crystal staff became incandescent and bright with a single tap on her tender palm, lighting up ten paces! The entire fifteen-minute journey from the banquet hall to the Crystal Tower was lit by the same illuminating crystal staff, which only dimmed as they neared the tower before being tapped again to reignite its glow.

With another tap, it sparkled brilliantly once more!

The double-storied Crystal Tower used by the True Martial Prince was entirely built from black crystal, from the very foundation to every beam and joint, not mixed with any impurities, an epitome of magnificent luxury!

If all these crystal artifacts were brought to Aegean Continent, it’s likely even Elder Andulan would join the other Dragon Clan with a cane to rob them!

Such wealthy demons, yet constantly scheming to retake Aegean Continent, genuinely sickened Liu Shock!

Bidding a polite farewell to the four silver-eyed palace maids, Liu Shock closed the Crystal Tower door and slid the latch shut.

What a rich world of grandeur!

The Crystal Tower was already extravagant, but he hadn’t expected the inside to be a pure crystal world!

Inside the tower, everything from the large sculptures and staircases to the medium-sized bookshelves, wine racks, and tables, down to the small stools and lamps, was crafted from various types of crystal. Even the bedding laid on the bed was made from crystalline silk!

"Crystalline silk" was a type of crystal that could be peeled into fabric-like crystal threads, as its name suggests—a special crystal.

In the Demon World, liquid crystal, solid crystal, Orly crystal, and crystalline silk were the four main crystal systems. In terms of rarity, crystalline silk was only slightly less rare than Orly crystal. Yet, Clark Gable was lavish enough to use crystalline silk to weave bedding!

Liu Shock wandered through the room, his arms wide and his mouth wide open; he couldn’t find a fitting word to describe his jealousy!

Like a magnet attracting a needle, his roguish eyes were immediately drawn to the mirror beside the crystal bed.

This round mirror, as smooth as Xiang Pa, wasn’t made of glass but an unknown pure silver material. It wasn’t embedded in the wall but "grown" from a silver-colored vine-like plant with branches as thick as a child’s arm, supporting it upright like an oversized sunflower.

Crystal-carved floral designs filled the tower room, but this one seemed the most natural. The mirror and branches seamlessly merged with no gaps, truly a marvel.

Despite its beauty, the mirror was also enormous, over a meter in both length and width! Such a large mirror, rare even among desert glass artisans, had impeccable quality, allowing Liu Shock to see his own greasy lips clearly reflected.

Quickly lowering his head, Liu Shock used his sleeve to wipe his mouth, not knowing why, his lowered gaze suddenly turned oddly sinister.

"How beautiful!" The mermaid who entered the tower with him couldn’t help sighing softly in amazement.

"Indeed, it’s quite beautiful." Liu Shock smiled warmly and raised his hand, making a harmless gesture towards the naturally charming mermaid, "Little sister, what’s your name?"

"Huh? You can understand my language?" The mermaid’s beautiful eyes flashed with puzzled light, looking at Liu Shock curiously.

Her voice was sweet and gentle.

If Liu Shock were to put it crudely, this voice could make quite a seductive impression, charming to the bone.

"I don’t understand, but I can feel it." Liu Shock pointed to his tightly closed lips, then pointed to his head, "Sound is external mental power, the wings of the soul."

"My name is Racquel Vizhi." The mermaid looked at Old Liu with a complex gaze, "You who defeated the Three Dreadlords, who are you?"

"Miss Wei Zhi, I am Karu from the Forest of No Return." Liu Shock leaned closer to the mirror, admiring himself.

"Mr. Karu, are you planning to go to the sea soon, conquer my clan, and search for White Shell Coins?" The mermaid looked sorrowful and pitifully at Old Liu.

"First sit on the bed." Liu Shock signaled with his hand, pointing towards the bed covered with crystal thread bedding without turning his head.

The mermaid hesitated for a moment but obediently complied.

"Miss Wei Zhi, I plan to return you to your people, in exchange for a bit of White Shell Coins with sincere friendship." Liu Shock walked to the crystal bookshelf, drew a book, pretended to skim through it for a while, and when the mermaid almost thought he was a learned scholar, he used the book as a fan to cool himself.

"But..." The mermaid Wei Zhi bit her lip, "Mr. Karu, I no longer have direct relatives! Since stepping on land, I’ve violated ancestral law. My clan won’t accept me anymore; they won’t agree to your exchange!"

"Is that so?"

"The Sea Clan has its rules, and no mermaid can disobey!"

"Then can you tell me why you dared to break ancestral law?" Liu Shock threw aside the book, placed his hands on the mermaid’s fragrant shoulders, and asked earnestly.

"The land’s scenery is an irresistible temptation. Every mermaid who obtains a ’Harmonious Pearl’ can’t resist this original sin’s allure. I just wanted to come ashore to have a look." The mermaid’s tears slid down unhindered, turning into pearl-like tears, tinkling as they fell on the crystal floor.

It seemed logical since, surrounded by misty seas, mermaids had no way to view the scenery like ordinary mermaids could just by surfacing. They had to come ashore to see it.

But risking freedom and life just to admire the scenery—wasn’t that a bit too dramatic? Liu Shock reserved his judgment on this.

"In any case, it’s worth trying," Liu Shock quoted his cheap brother, the Witch King Clark Gable, "People have a heart! Your clan might not be that heartless!"

"What if they are heartless? Will you still return me?" The mermaid raised her tear-filled eyes, pleading with Liu Shock, "If so, I will surely die. Please don’t be so cruel!"

"If your clan is so determined, I certainly won’t do that." Liu Shock was deeply troubled by the mermaids’ callousness and quickly comforted this mermaid, "Rest easy; a gentleman would never let a beautiful girl die in vain!"

"Thank you." Wei Zhi looked at Liu Shock with gratitude, "Are you still going to the sea? I know you now possess a ’Harmonious Pearl’!"

"Of course! I aim to secure a bright and magnificent future for myself and my brother, to claim vast territories!" If His Majesty Clark Gable were on the side, who knows how moved he’d be by Liu Shock’s mental power speech.

"Don’t go!"

"Why? Give me a reason not to go."

"You’ll die if you go into the sea!"

"That’s impossible." Liu Shock laughed out loud.

"Not even someone as powerful as you can withstand the dying curse that mermaids summon at the cost of their lives." Racquel Vizhi didn’t seem like she was lying.

"In front of me, most things are static; if I don’t give mermaids the chance, wouldn’t they be unable to summon any curse?" To Liu Shock, a curse specialist, this level of threat was hardly terrifying.

"If you go into the sea... do I have to go too?" Vizhi suddenly looked a bit nervous.

"Of course, you must follow!" Liu Shock sensed something was off—these Demon World mermaid’s words seemed peculiar everywhere!

The True Martial Prince had a brother who was right, indeed an allusion to the Turtle Prince.

The True Martial God, disheveled and barefoot, wields a sword and strolls on a turtle snake, haha, able to fight and be a turtle.
