Chapter 344: Chapter 353: The Strange Embroidery Ball

As the voice fell, everyone in the crowd was stirred up, including Chu Linfeng and Yuwen Qingkong.

The words from the Mermaid King worried Chu Linfeng a bit. The idea of actively choosing a future husband was unheard of. What if Yuwen Qingkong couldn’t be chosen, or if someone else was chosen, then the Golden Scale Treasure Robe could not be obtained.

”Lin Feng, are you worried right now?” Sword Spirit Yue’Er’s voice appeared.

”What do you think? If Yuwen Qingkong can’t become the Prince Consort, then the Golden Scale Treasure Robe can’t be obtained, and I won’t have a chance to enter Ruo Shui. The Water Spirit Pearl will be out of reach. Sister Yue’Er, do you have a solution?” Chu Linfeng asked.

Given that she’s speaking now, there must be a reason. And since she suggested making Yuwen Qingkong the Prince Consort, Chu Linfeng felt hopeful. The Sword Spirit’s skills are indeed formidable.

”If I guessed correctly, the embroidery ball will surely find its way to you, or you will become the Prince Consort of the Merfolk Young Master. Don’t you want it?” Sword Spirit laughed.

”Of course not! What if I become her Prince Consort and have to consummate the marriage? The next day, people would see a Mermaid Princess who died from the wedding night? I’d be courting disaster.” Chu Linfeng said, speechless.

”Haha, can’t you control yourself a bit? Must you be so fierce?” Sword Spirit laughed as before.

”Alright, Sister Yue’Er, hurry and tell me your plan. You know my physique is very special and I can’t just do as I wish!” Chu Linfeng urged.

”Once you get the embroidery ball, I will temporarily seal the energy stone inside. After you receive it, quickly hand it over to Yuwen Qingkong. As long as he can hold on for a minute, it’ll be enough.” Sword Spirit said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng immediately said, ”No problem, everything relies on you!”

At this time, Yuwen Qingkong said, ”Second brother, standing in this spot, we might not have much hope; the embroidery ball is so far away.”

”Whether there is hope I do not know, but brother, if you do get the embroidery ball, would you throw it away?” Chu Linfeng asked, which was his biggest concern. If Sword Spirit controls the energy stone on the ball and the guy throws it away after getting it, wouldn’t that be a loss?

”Are you so confident that I can obtain it?” Yuwen Qingkong laughed.

”Just answer me how you’d handle the embroidery ball, nothing else I wish to hear,” Chu Linfeng said.

Seeing Chu Linfeng’s solemn gaze, Yuwen Qingkong said, ”Since I can get the embroidery ball among so many, maybe it means I have fate with the Mermaid Princess. And I’m not someone who lacks empathy, plus being the Prince Consort would help you, so naturally, I wouldn’t discard it.”

”Good, since brother says so, then I’m reassured,” Chu Linfeng laughed.

Yuwen Qingkong looked at Chu Linfeng with some confusion; his words seemed like he was certain they could get it. Could he control the embroidery ball? This was very strange!

At this moment, a number of palace maids appeared on the Imperial City walls. In front of the maids was a woman with a pink veil, holding a red embroidery ball. This woman, known as the most beautiful in the Mermaid Country, was the Mermaid Princess.

The Mermaid Princess walked to the edge of the Imperial City and looked at the crowd below, feeling very satisfied that so many outstanding youths came to participate in her bridal selection.

However, her appearance immediately caused a stir among the crowd below. The first beauty was indeed the goddess in countless Mermaid Country men’s hearts. Being able to see her form today was truly worthwhile.

The only regret was not being able to see her true face, otherwise, even if unable to catch the embroidery ball and become the Prince Consort, the trip would not be in vain.

Many people couldn’t help but shout, making the atmosphere even more intense.

Chu Linfeng and Yuwen Qingkong looked far and noticed that the Mermaid Princess did not have fins on her ears, which was acceptable. They just didn’t know if there were scales on her face. If her appearance was as normal as a human’s, she might be more beautiful than Meng Ji and Sima Jingyi. Maybe even far more.

At this time, the Mermaid Princess vigorously tossed the red embroidery ball into the air. The ball flew quickly to the top of everyone’s heads.

Several quick-eyed and swift-handed people immediately flew up, preparing to be the first to catch the ball in the air. Those flying up were individuals with very strong abilities, at least above the Eighth Layer of Celestial Martial Realm.

The first person to grab the embroidery ball was a young member of the Mermaid Race, as judged by the fins growing from his ear. However, he held the ball for less than three seconds before a painful sound was heard.

The ball was then thrown up, and he fell down, with his palm already a bloody mess, evidently injured by the energy stone inside the ball.

The ball in the air naturally had others vying for it. This time, a Crabman Race youth with a huge claw firmly clamped the ball, seeming very pleased, but the ball suddenly emitted a red light.

Soon a scream sounded in the air, and the claw holding the ball broke into two sections. The Crabman Race youth fell down due to the severe pain, clearly seriously injured.

After two consecutive holders of the embroidery ball got hurt, some felt fear, and those initially in the air stopped their attempts. The ball landed among the crowd.

Those who held the ball screamed and tossed it away. Gradually, people no longer yearned for the embroidery ball but feared it, as dozens had already been killed directly by the attacks from the energy stone.

The ball began rapidly passing among the crowd. Those who caught it out of fear quickly threw it away, while others clung to it out of a lucky desire, only to be severely injured or killed, as only the true son of destiny for the Mermaid Princess would avoid such a fate.

Chu Linfeng and Yuwen Qingkong watched the astonishing scene ahead, amused. Before they knew it, the ball had been passed to the rear. When the ball fell, nobody deliberately reached for it; instead, they retreated and dodged.

At this moment, in people’s hearts, the embroidery ball was akin to a lethal weapon, and nobody dared to touch it.

Then the ball dropped directly five meters in front of Chu Linfeng and Yuwen Qingkong, and people around opened up a clear space, leaving the ball quietly on the ground with nobody daring to touch it.

Chu Linfeng rushed forward and picked up the ball, while everyone worried the youth would also die from the energy stone inside the ball, but then something surprising happened.

The ball in Chu Linfeng’s hand didn’t emit any red light, and he wasn’t hurt. Naturally, the Mermaid Princess on the city wall saw this phenomenon. Just when she assumed her true son of destiny was Chu Linfeng, a faint white light appeared at Chu Linfeng’s brow, and then he tossed the ball to a surprised Yuwen Qingkong...
