Chapter 410 - 410 398 Reminding the Mermaid410: Chapter 398: Reminding the Mermaid 410: Chapter 398: Reminding the Mermaid Watching the two “fish” holding hands and swimming back, chatting as they went, the Prince talking about the human world, and the Mermaid Princess about the Mermaid Kingdom—with a handsome man and a beautiful woman, their eyes interlocked; it seemed as if affection was subtly burgeoning between them.

The scene looked lovely.

But from atop the Flying Carpet, Mu Ying saw this as the beginning of a tragedy.

There was no real Magic Potion that could turn a mermaid into a human, and the Mermaid Clan would never accept a human; by nature, they were at odds.

This opposition wasn’t even based on racial prejudice, but rather on some slavers’ pursuit of mermaids.

Otherwise, the Mermaid Kingdom wouldn’t have such an isolated relationship with the humans on shore, instead allowing the witch to act as a middleman and profit from the difference.

Moreover, this Prince wasn’t necessarily a good sort.

“The Mermaid Kingdom is actually deep within the Mist Sea Domain?

If there really is a witch under the sea, then is this perpetually foggy sea region truly enchanted by the witch’s Magic?”

Prince Ronald and Princess Lulu had reached the edge of the Mist Sea Domain.

“Yes, but it was something asked of the witch a very long time ago,” Princess Lulu answered.

Prince Ronald was quite shocked upon hearing this.

Last night, his ship entered the sea caught in a storm, and now here he was, relying on this tail to brave the sea’s waves fearlessly.

It was the Mist Sea Domain that had thwarted human exploration, keeping the Mermaid’s world a secret—such force was mystical and powerful!

Not long after entering the Mist Sea Domain, Princess Lulu pulled Ronald down into the depths of the sea.

Mu Ying also silently flew a bit further away before diving into the sea and returning to Crystal City from another direction.

The Dingling Flower pendant’s tracking signal was nearly inside the city as well.

Mu Ying didn’t continue to spectate, as witnessing the true evolution of the story was enough; there was no need to watch the entire process.

In fact, she didn’t need to watch, for the story’s protagonists would find their own way to her.

Because Princess Lulu had taken Prince Ronald shopping, they visited almost all of Crystal City—except the Crystal Palace atop the Seven-colored Crystal Coral Tree, where Ronald, lacking noble status, couldn’t go.

Princess Lulu showed him everywhere else.

The shops of witches, which Prince Ronald found particularly interesting, were of course the key “sights” to visit.

Princess Lulu was like a rich sugar mama with a sweet young thing, taking him into a witch’s miscellany to buy a good number of Fish Tail Potions and Breathing Potions, as well as some magical trinkets.

After the two left, Windsor was still discussing with Senior Sister Rosie, “That mermaid looked somewhat unfamiliar!”

“Judging by the tail, she’s probably not from the Royal City, likely a mermaid from some remote tribe below.

Princess Lulu has indeed come of age, beginning to take an interest in male mermaids,” Bertrand said.

With a huge piece of gossip festering inside, Mu Ying wanted to speak but stopped herself, ultimately unable to resist asking, “Bertrand, what would you do if a human were to intrude into the deep sea and see the world of the mermaids?”

“Then after witnessing the splendor of the underwater world, his body would remain here forever as well,” Bertrand said without hesitation, “If humans knew about our rich Kingdom beneath the sea, possibly even the Mist Sea Domain couldn’t stop their greed.

Fortunately, it’s impossible for humans to enter the deep sea.

The witch would never sell Breathing Potions and Fish Tail Potions to humans.”

Humans truly cannot enter the deep sea, and witches are very rule-abiding, but that doesn’t stop you Mermaid Clan from secretly colluding with outside forces!

In the end, the Prince who was pretending to be a mermaid temporarily resided in an inn across from the witch’s grocery, the lodge operated by Yiyeta.

The entire Crystal City was indeed more suitable for human habitation in the witch’s shop, as there was no sea water inside the bubble ball, and mermaids could only enter wrapped in small bubble balls.

As the relationship between Lulu and the Prince grew closer, word spread throughout the city about the little princess falling in love with a male mermaid from a remote tribe, and the public offered more blessings than anything else.

Thanks to the Fish Tail Potion and the Breathing Potion for cover, the human Prince’s true identity was never exposed, and he even started to gain popularity in the city.

He not only made quite a few mermaid friends but also established contacts with quite a few witches.

All of this happened in less than a week.

If it weren’t for a witch gathering where his name came up, and other witches surprisingly had several good things to say about him, Mu Ying might not have realized how well this Ronald was blending into the underwater society—truly worthy of being a prince from Green Wall Kingdom.

Even though her own grocery store was right across from the inn where the Prince was staying, and he had come to shop several times, he always came with Lulu, and they didn’t talk much.

What concerned Mu Ying the most was that they often said, “It’s rare to see a mermaid so interested in witches.”

Other mermaids were interested in the things witches brought, but he was interested in the witches themselves or their Race.

Seeing them gossip about Princess Lulu and this Ronald’s wedding date and even inquiring with the Tribute Witch of the Mermaid Royal Family, Mu Ying couldn’t help but speak up, “What exactly did this Ronald inquire about with you all?

Was there a lot about witch society and ability?”

“Also, did he buy anything from you?

Especially when he went alone.”

The witches were indeed more relaxed in the undersea because they were among the Mermaid Clan, with whom they had long-established good relations and shared secrets.

But their trust in their witch compatriots was natural, and though Mu Ying’s inquiries were somewhat solemn and serious, which puzzled them, they still answered her questions truthfully.

Indeed, all of the above-mentioned issues had come up!

Even Debra, who frequented both land and sea, had been questioned in her tavern ashore.

It was only the Witch Forest that everyone consciously refrained from discussing—the cradle where witches are born, where the vast majority of little witches grow up, and the only territory not invaded by other Races.

Moreover, Ronald had purchased Fish Tail Potions and Breathing Potions from everyone, amounting to a quite significant number overall, and always bought them when visiting alone.

Princess Lulu was indeed very wealthy; how could Ronald, a prince in distress, have so much money?

He even had a Space Ring now.

With the conversation reaching this point, and combining similar situations reported by other witches, everyone began to sense that something was off.

“Mu Ying, is there something wrong with this person?

He’s a mermaid, so buying that many Fish Tail Potions is still understandable, but why would he buy so many Breathing Potions?” Windsor asked, frowning at Mu Ying.

The other witches also looked at her.

Mu Ying, however, looked to a senior witch sitting across from her, the Tribute Witch who had served the Mermaid Royal Family for over a hundred years, “Ailetta, remind the Mermaid Royal Family to check the identity of this mermaid from the remote tribe!

And everyone, for the time being, try not to divulge too much about witch matters to him.”
