Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

In the midst of a massive vortex.

Xiao Yi kept diving deeper, and as the devouring force within the vortex grew more terrifying, his descent speed increased as well.

Roaring airstreams and water flows constantly echoed around him.

He couldn't see his fingers when he stretched out his hand.

Pitch black everywhere.

In the darkness, Xiao Yi felt countless fierce and grim eyes firmly fixed on him, sending chills down his spine.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a piercing roar came from below the vortex.

The devouring force instantly increased tenfold. Caught off guard, Xiao Yi's face drastically changed, and his body plummeted like a falling star directly to the bottom of the vortex.

Boom!

Xiao Yi landed deep in the vortex.

Here, however, there was a clear path—it was actually solid ground.

After a hard fall, Xiao Yi propped himself up and looked forward. The deepest part of the vortex turned out to be a different world altogether. This place was a passage, and at the end of the passage, there was faint light visible.

"What is this place? To think there is such a thing at the bottom of the vortex?" Xiao Yi patted his dizzy head, regaining some clarity, before continuing to walk forward.

Tap tap tap!

Crisp footsteps echoed through the dark path.

The light ahead grew increasingly dazzling.

Swoosh!

The moment Xiao Yi stepped into the light, he was completely stunned by the sight before him.

Before him was a magnificent underwater world, filled with precious luminous pearls and numerous valuable corals and other treasures.

What people considered treasures, like the Luminous Pearls, were used here merely for lighting.

What place could this be?

As Xiao Yi pondered, suddenly two figures flew toward him from ahead.

The newcomers were both dressed in red, with large shoulders and broad waists, and Xiao Yi noticed gills on each side of their cheeks, causing his pupils to shrink slightly: "Sea Demons?"

According to the legend.

There was a creature in the sea, hermaphroditic by nature, which changed its appearance based on the gender it encountered as it matured.

These Sea Demons were hermaphrodites, initially appearing as males at birth, but upon adulthood, they would transform into beautiful women if they encountered a male they fancied.

If they met a female, the Sea Demons would retain their male form.

Although Xiao Yi had never seen a living Sea Demon, he recognized their identity instantly from many inheritances he had obtained.

"Who goes there?" the Sea Demon on the left asked, eyeing Xiao Yi warily.

Xiao Yi hadn't yet spoken.

The one on the right said naively, "Isn't that obvious? He must be here to attend the Great King's wedding!"

"To attend a wedding? But he is a human..." the one on the left said.

"So what if he is human? Isn't the Great King marrying a human woman? Look how beautiful and charming that human woman is!"

"That is true!"

The two Sea Demons exchanged glances and simultaneously gestured invitingly: "Distinguished guest, please come inside!"

Xiao Yi: "..."

He had initially thought to silently eliminate the two Sea Demons.

Never had he expected...

These two naive Sea Demons would actually invite him in?

Under the respectful welcome of the two Sea Demons, Xiao Yi walked along a lane over 800 meters long, completely paved with precious gems, and finally arrived in front of a crystal palace.

The entire palace was protected by a massive bubble, with the palace itself translucent and entirely made of crystal.

At this moment.

The palace was bustling with people coming and going.

Even powerful mythical beasts here chose to transform into human forms.

However, some beasts with insufficient cultivation still retained parts of their animal forms: either fish-headed men with two bare legs, or octopus creatures with the upper body of a human and eight tentacles as the lower body...

Everything imaginable was present.

And in abundance.

"Human?"

"Indeed, the Sea Demon Emperor's wedding day and there are powerful beings from the Longevity Secret Realm coming to present their gifts? Truly remarkable..."

"I heard the Sea Demon Emperor's bride is also a human..."

"Handsome human men, looks like we'll have a chance to head to the land and capture more humans..."

"Don't worry! The Sea Demon Emperor had a fortuitous encounter, his strength has skyrocketed, unifying the Southern Sea Area. I heard his next target is to unify the Chaotic Sea Area, and then to dominate the Southern State..."

Whispers of mythical beasts filled the air.

Their murmurs, all precious intelligence, kept reaching Xiao Yi's ears.

On this journey,

Xiao Yi had vaguely understood the cause behind the turmoil in the Southern Sea Area; it turned out to be the Sea Demon Emperor's breakthrough in power, initiating a war for dominion. Lin Bingxin and her group were just unlucky, getting caught in this strife!

"I hope Bingxin and the others are safe!" Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

Suddenly...

The lead guide, a big simpleton, spoke, "Human guest, please have a seat here! The king's wedding banquet will start soon..."

"Um!"

Xiao Yi nodded, feeling that observing quietly was the most prudent action for now.

He took his seat immediately,

while secretly observing the powerful figures present.

Among them, there were over ten exuding the aura of the Longevity Secret Realm, all at the level of Human Venerate.

As for the aura of Earth Venerate, there was only one.

And it was faint and unstable, evidently a recent breakthrough.

At the back of the hall...

"This Earth Venerate aura must belong to the Sea Demon Emperor..."

Xiao Yi's gaze wandered deeper into the hall when suddenly, a series of gong and drum sounds rang out. The calm air suddenly turned chaotic, and soon, a lean and handsome figure slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

This was a big handsome man about two and a half meters tall, well-built with a muscular physique and delicate facial features.

A black and gold long robe.

His eyebrows sharp like swords, his eyes as bright as stars, his high nose adding a proud air to his bearing.

The purple and gold crown on his head.

All served to underscore his identity — the Sea Demon Emperor!

"Greetings, Sea Demon Emperor!"

"May the Sea Demon Emperor live as long as the Azure Sea..."

"Congratulations to the Sea Demon Emperor on your joyous wedding!"

A chorus of voices rose.

The Sea Demon Emperor's face broke into a radiant smile, he grinned and as his gaze swept over the crowd. He waved his hand and laughed, "Thank you all for attending my wedding, I am very pleased!"

"How could we not attend the great wedding of the Sea Demon Emperor?"

"Of course, we are here to wish you a lifelong happy union!"

"Sea Demon Emperor, why not let your bride come out and give us all a thrill..."

The crowd voiced their thoughts.

The Sea Demon Emperor laughed heartily, clearly very pleased with his bride as well, and said proudly, "Since everyone wants to see my bride, then I shall indulge you!"

Snap! Snap!

Two crisp claps echoed.

A beautiful, charming young lady in red attire, supported by two female Sea Demons, slowly walked out.

Looking at the approaching figure, Xiao Yi suddenly straightened up: "Lin Bingxin?"
