Chapter 144 Hospitality
After hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan could not help but marvel at the wonder and greatness of nature. He said, "So that's why this place is called Lei Ze. This name is really appropriate, with both the might of thunder and the depth of a marsh."
Princess Nishang nodded and continued, "Yes, the meteorite not only created a huge crater, but also broke through the bottom of the crater, which is why we have this magnificent lake bottom world we see now. It is here that our mermaids live and multiply, and gradually grow and develop."
After hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan was deeply impressed by the tenacity and wisdom of the mermaids. He said, "Princess Nishang, you mermaids are really amazing. In such an environment, you not only survived, but also created such a brilliant civilization."
Princess Nishang smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you are too kind. We, the mermaids, are just following nature and growing together with this land."
Afterwards, Princess Nishang took Lu Xiuyuan into the palace. The interior of the palace was magnificently decorated, with all kinds of corals, pearls, and gems inlaid on the walls and ceiling, emitting charming brilliance. In the center of the palace was a huge crystal table filled with all kinds of delicacies.
Princess Nishang invited Lu Xiuyuan to sit down, and then called in various servants. These people were all elites of the mermaid tribe, and they were dressed in gorgeous clothes, smiling as they poured wine and delicacies for Lu Xiuyuan and Princess Nishang.
The wine was a special coral wine, bright as blood, with a light fruity aroma. Lu Xiuyuan took a sip and felt a cool feeling from his throat to his heart, making him feel refreshed. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good wine! This coral wine is really delicious."
Princess Nishang smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, I'm glad you like it. This coral wine is a specialty of our mermaid tribe. It is brewed from deep-sea corals and has the effect of beautifying the skin and prolonging life."
In addition to coral wine, the table was also filled with a variety of delicacies, including fresh and juicy whitebait, juicy river clams, corals with a unique taste, and plump and delicious crabs. These dishes were carefully prepared by the chefs of the mermaid tribe, and they were delicious and mouth-watering.
Lu Xiuyuan looked at the table full of delicious food and couldn't help but feel hungry. He picked up a piece of whitebait and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully. He felt that the fish meat was tender and juicy, melting in his mouth and leaving a lasting aftertaste. He took a bite of the river clam and felt that the clam meat was plump, tender and delicious.
Princess Nishang watched Lu Xiuyuan eat with gusto, and the corners of her mouth lifted up involuntarily, revealing a faint smile. She said softly: "Mr. Lu, it would be great if you like it. These dishes are all specialties of our mermaids, I hope they suit your taste."
When Lu Xiuyuan heard Princess Nishang say this, he quickly put down his chopsticks and nodded repeatedly in response, "I like it very much! I have never tasted such delicious food. Princess Nishang, you really treat me well! Not only did you take me to visit this magnificent palace, but you also specially prepared these delicacies for me to taste."
When Princess Nishang heard this, her smile became even more intense, as charming as a peach blossom in full bloom in spring. She nodded slightly and responded softly, "Mr. Lu, you are too kind. You have come all the way here, and you are a distinguished guest of our mermaid tribe, so we should treat you well."
After three rounds of wine, most of the delicacies on the table have been tasted. Each dish is unique, colorful, fragrant and delicious, and it is endless to savor. Lu Xiuyuan has already eaten and drunk his fill, and is now leisurely enjoying the beautiful scenery in the Mermaid Palace. Suddenly, Princess Nishang opened her red lips and clapped her hands, and a crisp applause echoed in the palace.
As the applause gradually died down, a group of merman maids dressed in gauze walked in gracefully. Their steps were graceful and light, as if they were gliding on the water. Each of them held an exquisite tray in their hands, on which was placed a crystal jade box that looked like it was made by nature.
This jade box exudes a soft and elegant light, which attracts people's attention involuntarily, making them curious and eager to take a glimpse of the mystery inside.
Princess Nishang smiled as she walked to Lu Xiuyuan, pointed at the jade box and said softly, "Mr. Lu, this is the Snow Pure Liquid that our mermaids treasure most. This Snow Pure Liquid comes from the depths of the Snow Crystal Land, the holy land of our mermaids. Every drop of it gathers the spiritual energy and essence between heaven and earth. Ordinary people can prolong their lives after drinking it, and for practitioners, it can help them improve their cultivation and even help them break through the shackles of their cultivation."
Lu Xiuyuan was surprised when he heard this. He knew the value of the Snow Pure Liquid, but he didn't expect the mermaids would be so generous to give it to him. He nodded slightly to express his gratitude. However, he couldn't help but wonder: Why would Princess Nishang be so generous to give him such a precious treasure?
Princess Nishang seemed to see through Lu Xiuyuan's doubts at a glance. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then said: "Master Lu, our mermaid tribe is now facing a small dilemma. I hope you can lend a hand."
Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously: "Oh? Princess, just say it, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely do my best."
Princess Nishang nodded slightly to express her gratitude, and then said solemnly: "Recently, a huge black hole with no bottom appeared suddenly at the bottom of Lei Ze Lake. A large number of ferocious and brutal monsters have emerged from this black hole. They are coming with great momentum and have brought unprecedented threats to our mermaids. Although we have tried our best to fight against them, we are ultimately powerless. These monsters are too powerful. With the current strength of our mermaids, it is difficult to confront them head-on. Therefore, we implore you to step forward and lend us a helping hand to resolve this crisis together."
When Lu Xiuyuan heard this, he was shocked. He knew that the bottomless abyss at the bottom of the Lei Ze Lake was no joke, and the monsters emerging from it must be extremely terrifying. However, he quickly changed his mind. Since the mermaids trusted him so much and gave him such precious snow pure liquid, how could he let them down?
As the saying goes, a great reward will bring a brave man. Lu Xiuyuan urgently needs to improve his own strength at this moment, and this Snow Pure Liquid is undoubtedly a very precious and rare treasure. If he misses this opportunity, he may never get it again. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and then said calmly: "Princess, please rest assured, I will do my best to help you through the difficulties!"
