38: Section 38
“I need to relieve myself.”
“Fine, you guys hurry up and go eat at the Banquet; it will be gone soon.”
The Shrimp Soldiers Squad Leader led his subordinates away from here to patrol the other side.
Bai Su’s face was flushed red, and she let out a long breath. She had never lied before, yet this time she had managed to bluff her way through.
Xiao Bai quickly dismantled all the bells. The entire process was extremely careful, and he didn't make the slightest sound.
Yu Ji's hands were cuffed, and a metal hoop was tightly fastened around her slender waist, fixing her firmly to the bed.
The moment he touched it, he felt an Electric Eel shock, as if he could see a white skeleton.
Smoke simultaneously rose from the heads of Yu Ji and Xiao Bai. Although the damage wasn't severe, the insult was profound.
“There are two Electric Eels under the bed.”
“Damn it, I knew it.”
Xiao Bai crawled under the bed, pulled out the two Electric Eels, tied their bodies into a dead knot, and bunched them up.
“Shock each other. You are not allowed to stop without my command.”
Crackling sounds filled the room as small sparks flew, looking just like electric welding.
Handcuffs and waist hoops of this strength were easily ripped apart by Xiao Bai; it was no trouble at all.
“We can't stay here. Hurry up and follow me.”
“By the way, do you have the Dragon Pearl?”
Yu Ji shook her head: “Ao Qian took it back.”
“What should we do? Do you know where he put it? I’ll go steal it.”
“I don't know. He said he would give it to me again tonight during our Wedding Night.”
Xiao Bai suddenly found himself in a difficult spot. The primary goal of this trip was to obtain the Dragon Pearl, while rescuing the Mermaid Princess was unexpected.
He softly blew a whistle, and a Catfish walked in from outside. Yu Ji alertly hid behind Xiao Bai.
“Don't be afraid, she is the Little White Snake you saved back then.”
“How about this? You leave with her first. Both of you get out of here.”
Yu Ji asked, “What about you? It's very dangerous here. Many members of the Dragon Clan will be coming tonight.”
“I must get the Dragon Pearl. I will find a way to escape.”
Xiao Bai took off his Turtle Shell and put it on Yu Ji, then quickly applied makeup to Disguise her.
“Do you have an extra Mermaid Dress? Like the one on your lower body.”
“Yes, Ao Qian specially custom-made this one to be used at the wedding ceremony.”
Yu Ji took out a golden Mermaid Dress from the box. The entire surface was sewn with Gold Thread, and the craftsmanship was extremely exquisite.
“Su Su, quickly take Yu Ji and leave.”
Bai Su was slightly stunned. She hadn't reacted yet, as this was the first time she had heard Xiao Bai call her that.
“Su Su, hurry up.”
“Oh, okay! You be careful too. We'll wait for you at the Hot Springs exit.”
“Alright, hurry and go.”
Bai Su led Yu Ji away from the Dragon Palace. The size difference of the Turtle Shell was truly immense, making Yu Ji's petite figure quite uncomfortable.
Bai Su poured Magic Power into the Turtle Shell to fill the empty space inside, which finally made Yu Ji much more comfortable.
“Old Turtle Servant, where did you hide? The Banquet has been cleared. Maybe there are some leftovers in the kitchen.”
“Ignore him,” Bai Su softly instructed.
They left without looking back.
The Shrimp Soldiers Squad Leader cursed: “What's so great? At most, you're just a gatekeeper. Why act so aloof? I don't even want to bother with you, you Stinking Turtle.”
After the luncheon, many Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals were drunk and resting. The entire defense of the Dragon Palace was extremely lax, and virtually no one stopped Bai Su from leaving.
After leaving the Dragon Palace, Yu Ji immediately wanted to take off the Turtle Shell.
Bai Su stopped her: “Hold on a little longer. Your Mermaid features are too noticeable and you'll easily be discovered.”
She pulled Yu Ji, speeding up as they swam toward the Hot Springs.
After they left, Xiao Bai also changed into the golden Mermaid Dress and disguised himself as Yu Ji. His skin tone matched, but he was slightly bulkier.
He even meticulously prepared two Spherical Gelatinous Objects, which he firmly secured on his chest.
Chapter 52: Disguising as the Bride
Xiao Bai looked at his makeup with satisfaction, unable to resist licking the corner of his mouth.
“Truly beautiful, it's practically indistinguishable from the real thing.”
“Alas, for the sake of my First Wife, I'm going all out today. She sacrificed so much for me; it's time for me to step up. Pretending to be a Mermaid and marrying that stupid Dragon is no big deal.”
When he was still weak back then, Xiao Bai was forced to Rely on Women. Who could blame him when Spider Queen Iris was so powerful? She was the Combat Power Ceiling in the early stages.
If it weren't for Tu Shan Mingyi's Little Green Bottle, he definitely wouldn't have been able to handle things. That thing is truly excellent; it took down two wives in total.
Xiao Bai doesn't plan on bothering with those most ordinary snake wives anymore. Honestly, there's no need.
They are all low-level, common snakes. Returning in Xiao Bai's current appearance would only terrify them; they wouldn't recognize him at all. They were just brief passersby in his life.
Those little female snakes encounter many male snakes in their lives. They themselves can't remember who they did it with, and since they haven't evolved Intelligence, how could they understand so much? As long as it's male, it works.
Xiao Bai transmigrated and became the Little White Snake. To receive the rewards from the Spreading Branches and Leaves System, he had no choice but to act this way.
As his Cultivation improved, Xiao Bai strictly controlled the quality of the wives he took later, focusing equally on looks, figure, and Cultivation.
Those extremely common snakes could no longer provide Xiao Bai with any benefits; it was better to abandon them early.
Dong dong dong!
While Xiao Bai was reminiscing about the past and looking toward the future, a crisp knocking sound came from outside. Two or three hours had passed since Bai Su left.
“Princess Yu Ji, His Highness the Eighth Prince sent this Servant Girl to attend to your grooming and dressing.”
“Come in.”
Xiao Bai's vision went dark, and he picked up a bottle of Medicine and drank it. According to Tu Shan Mingyi's analysis, this Medicine could freely convert his voice to any sound he wanted, lasting for 24 hours.
The taste was a bit strange, even harder to swallow than the Cow Dung Transformation Pill.
Cough, cough. Xiao Bai choked a few times.
“Princess, what is wrong?”
“It's nothing. The makeup is done. You come and organize This Princess's Hair Accessories, and bring the most beautiful dress to This Princess as well.”
The Octopus Servant Girl was still clutching a string of keys. She hadn't expected the cage to already be open and the Mermaid Princess to have come out herself. Her personality had also undergone a huge change; she was no longer as resistant as before, otherwise, she wouldn't have been tied up with chains.
“What kind of Hair Accessories does the Princess want?”
“Anything is fine. It depends on your skill.”
The Octopus took the ornaments and used her eight Tentacles to quickly tidy up Xiao Bai. Her movements were skilled and extremely nimble.
If makeup wasn't required, it could be finished very quickly.
“Your Highness Princess, please take a look. Do you like it? If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, this Servant Girl can adjust it immediately.”
“Just leave it like this. That's good enough.”
The Octopus stared intently at the muscles on Xiao Bai's arm. His neck was also much thicker. Except for the face, which resembled the Mermaid Princess, everything else was a magnified version.
She curiously asked, “Why does the Princess's body look much stronger?”
“Don't you know it's hot? Do you understand the principle of Thermal Expansion and Contraction?”
While speaking, Xiao Bai didn't forget to fan himself with his hand: “Get out. Where are all these unnecessary words coming from? How dare you teach me how to do things.”
“This servant dares not,” the Octopus bowed slightly.
“Bring This Princess some food. Are you trying to starve me to death? How can I get married if I'm not full? I'm the protagonist here, okay?”
“As you command.”
The Octopus scratched her head with a Tentacle, utterly baffled. She truly couldn't understand what the Mermaid Princess had gone through. It was highly likely that her spirit had become disordered while being locked up.
It's better to avoid trouble. Even if she had doubts, she dared not ask more and obediently fulfilled her duty as a Servant Girl, knowing that speaking too much would invite the Calamity of Death.
She brought some Seafood and entered the room. Xiao Bai picked up the plate and poured it directly into his mouth.
“Are you sending off a beggar? Hurry up and go get more. I won't mind if you bring too much, but if you bring too little, I'll curse you out. It's hard enough getting married once; give me a break.”
The Octopus was full of question marks. The Mermaid Princess had completely changed.
She could only obediently go out and fetch Seafood. After running back and forth no less than ten times, Xiao Bai finally burped contentedly.
“Ah, comfortable! The Seafood Feast at the Dragon Palace is delicious.”
“Your Highness Princess, please rest for a while. I will come back to notify you when the Auspicious Hour approaches.”
“Go on, go on.”
After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Bai lay directly on the bed to rest. Anyway, he would be wearing a Red Veil later, so his hair just needed to not be too messy.
After getting used to the Underwater World, many things were similar to the surface. The higher the Rank of the Yao Beast, the easier it was for them to move in the water, as if walking on flat ground. Even their clothes and hair wouldn't get wet; it was truly magical.
One's own Cultivation forms a barrier around the body, blocking the seawater from entering, making it not much different from the surface.
Two large Seashells by the bed continuously bubbled, and the decorative Water Plants swayed with the current.
“Damn it, my first wedding is actually as a Cross-Dressing Master, and I have to marry a Dragon who doesn't know how to serve.”
After a short nap, loud shouting came from outside. The voice was sharp, exactly like a Eunuch. Perhaps the Dragon Palace also had this species, otherwise, with so many Harem Beauties in Ao Qian's harem, it would definitely be overgrown with green grass.
Over a dozen Hairtail Spirits entered the room, respectfully welcoming the bride onto the Wedding Sedan Chair.
Carried by four Sea Cows, they headed toward the Main Hall. Ao Qian placed great importance on this wedding; he truly liked the Mermaid Princess.
There were a total of eight members of the Dragon Clan present, consisting of representatives from the major Sea Territories.
