Chapter 279 Exploring the Sea

A week later, Prince Bino and Princess Sofia successively sent the participating contestants away, and the quartet's plan to explore the underwater world was also put on the agenda.

During the days when the two royals were away from the Xiao Beimu Manor, Jiang Xiao went to the nearest city for sightseeing and experienced the customs and culture of the Kingdom of Xima.

After Prince Bino returned, he also asked Jiang Xiao about the whereabouts of the Sea Soul Mask.

Jiang Xiao only said that during the few days he was sightseeing in the city, he had asked a friend to take it back to China, and didn't say much else.

Prince Bino was slightly surprised by Jiang Xiao's response, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

He was already feeling a bit guilty. After all, Prince Bino hadn't been here these past few days, but had been busy socializing with princes and princesses from other countries, attending various activities and gatherings, which could be considered a neglect of Jiang Xiao.

What's more, there was no point in continuing to ask.

After several days of preparation, on September 22nd, the quartet set off for Saint Nya City in the southern part of the Kingdom of Xima, a city near the Mediterranean Sea.

The two royal youths claimed to the outside world that, in order to celebrate winning the championship and third place, and also to reward their teammates from China and the United Kingdom, Prince Bino and Princess Sofia were preparing to take their two teammates on a wonderful cruise.

The two royals did indeed do so, taking more than a dozen attendants from the Xiao Beimu Manor, as well as invited beauties, to board the cruise ship together.

The beauties were invited by Prince Bino to throw a party, in order to divert attention.

However, these attendants were not ordinary attendants. They guarded the Xiao Beimu Manor day and night, acting as attendants on the one hand and bodyguards on the other, and many of them were also informants from other members of the family.

However, for Princess Sofia, subduing them was not a difficult task.

Of course, the main reason was that these so-called informants were not there with special missions.

The younger generation of the Xima royal family was very peaceful.

It was already the 21st century, and a new era. The royal families of various countries certainly had money if they were supposed to, and they would also have power if they were supposed to, but compared with the ancient times of the past, that was definitely a different concept of money and power.

Now these so-called royal families no longer possessed the supreme power they once had. It was more like a symbol, a business card.

And the royal family of the Kingdom of Xima, which should have been an exception in Europe, should have been a very special royal family, but in this parallel world, it had also become no longer special, and had similarly become a business card.

Of the old king's three children, only the eldest son, Enrico, was an ordinary person, and also a carefully cultivated ordinary person on the road to succession.

Prince Bino and Princess Sofia were both Star Warriors, and their minds were not at all on inheriting the throne. Therefore, the so-called informants were not executing overly serious tasks, but were at most concerned from family members, and there was no particularly serious political mission.

The Second Princess and the Third Prince took Jiang Xiao and Juliet out to sea smoothly, traveling southwest along the coastline of the Republic of Puri, indulging in feasting and revelry on the cruise ship.

Well,

It was Jiang Xiao and the Yingying Bear who were feasting, and Prince Bino who was indulging in revelry.

On the night of setting sail, Jiang Xiao discovered that Prince Bino was not diverting attention, he had invited this group of hot girls, and he was indeed enjoying it.

Sofia didn't stop him, out of sight, out of mind, and didn't participate in the party on the deck.

Jiang Xiao and the Yingying Bear each held a chicken leg, eating with relish, watching the extremely hot dancers, spinning, jumping, and closing their eyes...

But the one person and one bear were not at all intoxicated, but instead wanted to eat a few more chicken legs.

On the third day of the voyage, the enthusiastic party finally stopped. That night, the Second Princess and the Third Prince called a few attendants into the cabin, gave them some instructions, and then prepared to take Jiang Xiao and Juliet into the sea.

......

On the deck, the sea breeze was gentle, and Jiang Xiao was wearing a wetsuit, doing warm-up exercises, circling three times to the left and three times to the right.

Juliet was also warming up beside him. Unlike Jiang Xiao, who was hiding something, Juliet was a complete landlubber. Although the Second Princess had assured her that she could move freely and breathe freely underwater, she was still under some psychological pressure.

Of course, Jiang Xiao was also a little hesitant. Although he knew the power of the Domain Tear Star Technique, going down into the deep sea... this was too exciting.

He hadn't even learned to crawl yet, and he was about to take a big step forward.

After a while, Princess Sofia and Prince Bino walked out of the cabin and onto the deck.

"All settled?" Juliet looked at Sofia curiously.

"Yes, it was already agreed upon at home, they are all my people, no problem," Sofia waved her hand casually.

Juliet cautiously asked, "Really not taking a few attendants to protect us?"

Sofia smiled and said, "The fewer people, the better. More would only be a burden, and I might have to protect them. Besides, you two were carefully selected by us, be more confident. Once you really get into the seabed, it will be your home field."

The Second Princess revealed strong confidence between the lines.

Jiang Xiao turned his head to look at Juliet. She was a plant-based mage, and Sofia's so-called "home field" was not a lie.

According to previous research, the sea area that the quartet was going to explore this time was full of various marine plants.

Sofia reached out to Jiang Xiao, spread her five fingers, and the Sea Soul Mask pieced itself together.

At Sofia's signal, the Sea Soul Mask came to Jiang Xiao's face.

As the water flow constantly adjusted, the Sea Soul Mask fit snugly on Jiang Xiao's face.

Immediately afterward, streams of water spiraled down, surrounding Jiang Xiao's body, following his black wetsuit, from head to toe.

"Tsk, tsk..." Prince Bino held the Sea Soul Lamp in one hand and handed it to Jiang Xiao, and held the trident in the other, smiling and saying, "I can't tell, you have a good figure?"

Jiang Xiao looked at Prince Bino warily: "What are you going to do?"

Prince Bino: "I always see you wearing those colorful and baggy clothes, I rarely see you dressed like this."

As he spoke, Prince Bino reached out and poked Jiang Xiao's abdominal muscles.

Jiang Xiao took a step back and said, "Are you used to messing with the dancers?"

Prince Bino's expression froze, and he glanced at Sofia subconsciously. Seeing that the Second Princess had no reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and looked at Jiang Xiao angrily.

And Jiang Xiao was wearing the Sea Soul Mask, so in a confrontation, Prince Bino was indeed at a disadvantage...

Princess Sofia handed the Sea Soul Lamp in her hand to Juliet, then grabbed Juliet's shoulder with one hand.

Under the cruise ship, a stream of water swept up, wrapping the two of them and sending them into the sea.

Juliet's expression was slightly nervous, she wrapped her arm around Sofia's waist, and as she got closer and closer to the sea surface, the water flow gradually transformed into a transparent罩zi (罩zi: phonetic transliteration, meaning cover/shield) on the two of them.

"Go down, haha." Prince Bino also grabbed Jiang Xiao's shoulder with one hand, and with a leap, he "flew" out.

"Woah! Wah! Wah!" Jiang Xiao was in a panic, and as he was about to enter the sea, he closed his eyes subconsciously.

Peng!

The water splashed everywhere, zero points.

Cold!

It's freaking cold!

In the sea, Jiang Xiao trembled, holding the Sea Soul Lamp tightly in his hand, illuminating the surroundings.

Jiang Xiao finally knew why it was called the "Sea Soul Lamp"!

On land, the light of this Sea Soul Lamp was normal, no different from ordinary light, and there was no difference.

However, in the sea, this soft blue light was extremely penetrating, its brightness was not adjusted at all, but it could illuminate the sea area hundreds of meters away.

It's simply an auxiliary artifact!

Jiang Xiao turned his head to look, eh? Where's the Third Prince?

The Sea Soul Mask on Jiang Xiao's face, and the streams of water created by it, had merged with the seawater, leaving only a faint outline on Jiang Xiao's face.

Swish!

The Third Prince seemed to have come to his home field, he was extremely excited, and his figure suddenly窜 (cuàn: dart/jump) out from under Jiang Xiao's feet, coming to Jiang Xiao's back.

His golden short hair fluttered back and forth with the ocean currents, his handsome face was full of smiles, smiling at the bewildered Jiang Xiao.

Unlike Jiang Xiao, who was wearing a wetsuit, Prince Bino was wearing a white shirt, the buttons of which were unbuttoned, and his chest was bare. He held the trident in one hand and gestured to the left side of Jiang Xiao.

"Tch." Jiang Xiao opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't say anything, and only吐 (tù: spit) out a few bubbles.

Holding the ocean-specific Sea Soul Lamp, he looked to the left following Prince Bino's guidance, but saw two women standing in bubbles, slowly飘 (piāo: float) over.

Sofia was obviously also a water lover. She was a true Sea Burial King. After enduring it for a while, she didn't stand in the bubble with Juliet. Her slender and graceful body suddenly fell out of the bubble and into the sea.

Her long,漆黑 (qī hēi: pitch-black) curly hair fluttered in the sea, the black dress swaying with a beautiful melody, coupled with her sculpture-like 精美 (jīng měi: exquisite) appearance, it was really beautiful.

Sofia was comfortable, but Juliet was startled, holding the Sea Soul Lamp in one hand, and not caring about the other party's identity, she glared at Sofia.

The Second Princess's limbs did not move at all, but her body floated forward quickly, and behind her, the bubble containing Juliet also followed.

Sofia: "Let's go, downwards."

Jiang Xiao: ???

She can actually talk in the water? This is unscientific!

Prince Bino: "Go."

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Sofia manipulated the bubble with one hand, and the trio swam down quickly.

Jiang Xiao was in trouble, friend, go ahead! Follow me.

This傻 (shǎ: foolish) mask......

Prince Bino obviously noticed Jiang Xiao's strangeness, stopped, looked up at Jiang Xiao, and said, "Adapt a little, just move your head."

Oh, that's how it is.

Jiang Xiao tried to turn his body, his head down, and plunged down,呼 (hū: whoosh)...

Under the guidance of the Sea Soul Mask, Jiang Xiao was like a swordfish,嗖 (sōu: swoosh)...

Jiang Xiao hurriedly缩 (suō: withdraw) his head back, and his body slowly stopped.

This star pet is also intelligent.

But it's not the most顶尖 (dǐng jiān: top-notch), if it can read the master's thoughts, that's called free control.

But in that case, wouldn't there be more trouble?

Prince Bino's body went down, smiling as he穿过 (chuānguò: passed through) Jiang Xiao, and said, "I'll go first."

Jiang Xiao also timely activated the Affection Halo, and golden halos lit up on the bodies of the quartet, while at the same time, they were also exploring other marine life.

Behind them, Sofia raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the亮金色 (liàng jīn sè: bright gold) halo spinning around her waist, and touched it gently.

Jiang Xiao held the Sea Soul Lamp that illuminated the surroundings, adapted to the Sea Soul Mask, and slowly caught up with Prince Bino.

The stars and the sea, these words are always on my lips, this time, it's no longer just talk.

The异球 (yì qiú: Other World/Different Planet), is my星辰 (xīng chén: stars).

Atlantic seabed, here I come.
