Chapter 108 The appearance of the Water Heart Stone. Xiao Chong looked at Haiyuan's determined back, with mixed emotions in his heart. He sighed and said to Ziyan, "We respect Haiyuan's choice. But we can't fall behind. Let's go and bring our victory to her, the princess of the sea tribe - Leah." The two of them passed through the winding underwater tunnel, with schools of fish swimming around and corals that looked like a dream, but their steps were extremely firm. Zi Yan's eyes flashed with longing for the future, and she whispered, "Imagine Leah's expression when she hears the news. She must be surprised and delighted." "Of course," Xiao Chong said with a smile, "We not only brought back the news of victory, but also the key to solving the mystery of the deep sea. The future of the sea race may be changed because of us." When they arrived at the palace, the setting sun was shining through the sea, casting golden light all over the palace. Leah was standing alone on the terrace, her back looking lonely and resolute. Xiao Chong and Zi Yan looked at each other, then quickened their pace and walked forward. "Liya, we are back." Xiao Chong's voice rang out in the quiet air. Leia's body trembled slightly. She turned around slowly, and a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in her eyes. "Xiao Chong, Zi Yan, it's great that you returned safely." Leia smiled slightly, but there was a hint of worry in her smile. Seeing Leia's mood, Xiao Chong hurriedly asked Leia what happened. Leah explained: "There is an energy anomaly in the Far North."
"The energy is abnormal..." Xiao Chong frowned, his eyes passed through the distant sea horizon, as if he wanted to see the mysterious land through the fog, "This doesn't seem like a naturally formed fluctuation. Maybe something is really about to happen." Zi Yan gently put her hand on Leah's and said with concern: "Leah, what's the situation? If you need help, we won't sit idly by." Leia shook her head, her long sea-blue hair fluttering gently. "This energy fluctuation comes from the Far North, a region that even our sea people rarely set foot in. There is an ancient power hidden there, which is said to be closely related to the origin of our sea people. The recent unusual movements have made His Majesty the Sea King quite worried." "Ancient power..." Xiao Chong pondered, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "If this power affects the ocean and even the entire world, how can I stand idly by?" Liya looked at him with a mixture of gratitude and helplessness in her eyes. "Xiao Chong, I know you care about the world, but this time, please allow us, the Sea Clan, to face it on our own. You and Zi Yan have helped us solve many crises, this time, let us prove that the Sea Clan can also protect our homeland." Zi Yan sighed softly, patted the back of Leah's hand, and comforted her: "Leah is right, Xiao Chong. Maybe this is a test of the sea tribe. As friends, we can just support them behind the scenes." Xiao Chong sighed and finally nodded. "Okay, but please promise me that if you need help, you will notify us immediately." Leah smiled, and there was relief and warmth in her smile. "Of course, Xiao Chong, your friendship is my strongest support." As night fell, the three of them sat in a corner of the palace, the sea breeze blew gently, bringing salty, wet and cool air. The waves in the distance gently lapping against the shore seemed to be whispering about the impending changes. "As far as I know, that sea area hides the remains of the ancient sea god," Leah said slowly, "Legend has it that there is a power that can overturn the order of the ocean. But no one knows the truth." "Ancient Sea God..." Zi Yan's eyes sparkled with curiosity, "It sounds like the beginning of an adventure story. If I could write it down with a pen, it would definitely be very exciting." Xiao Chong smiled slightly, "Zi Yan, after all this is over, you have to write a biography for us and record all the unknown stories." "Of course, the protagonist is our brave and fearless Lord Xiao Chong." Zi Yan winked playfully, and the atmosphere became relaxed for a moment. At this moment, a sea soldier hurried over, knelt on one knee, and looked nervous. "Princess, His Majesty the Sea King has urgently summoned you. There are new discoveries in the investigation of the Far North." Leia's face turned grim, and she stood up immediately. "It seems that we must act now." Xiao Chong and Zi Yan also stood up, ready to say goodbye. "Liya, be careful." Leia smiled firmly in response. "Don't worry, we sea tribes are not so easy to be defeated. When I return, I will tell you the legend under the sea in detail." Before leaving, Leah's fingers gently stroked the blue stone inlaid in the exquisite necklace. The soft blue light it emitted seemed particularly mysterious in the room. She took a deep breath, turned her head and looked at Xiao Chong, her eyes full of determination, "This is the Water Heart Stone you have been looking for. It contains the power from the depths of the sea." Xiao Chong took over the Water Heart Stone, which was light in weight but felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. He carefully looked at this gem that seemed to hide endless secrets, with indescribable excitement surging in his heart.
"Leah, this... this is so precious. Are you sure you want to give it to me?" "Yes," Leah smiled slightly, her voice firm but gentle, "I believe that this stone can play its true value in your hands. Our world is facing an unprecedented crisis, whether on land or at sea, heroes are needed to stand up." Zi Yan also took two steps closer, with curiosity flashing in her eyes, "Is this stone really that magical?" "Its power is beyond imagination," Leah explained, "Not only can it guide the flow of water, but it can also see the secrets hidden in the deep sea. But using it requires great courage and wisdom." Xiao Chong held the Water Heart Stone tightly, as if he could feel the warmth and power flowing in it. "I will cherish it." At this moment, more hurried footsteps were heard outside, and another sea warrior appeared at the door. He looked even more anxious, "Princess, we can't delay any longer! His Majesty the Sea King is waiting." Leia glanced at the necklace in her hand, which was empty. She felt a little reluctant, but she immediately raised her head with a firm gaze, "The time has come. Xiao Chong, Zi Yan, take care." The three of them smiled at each other, without further words, the deep friendship and trust were conveyed silently. Leah quickly calmed down, turned around and strode out, leaving behind a resolute and resolute back. "Remember, no matter when and where, we are each other's strongest support." Xiao Chong's voice sounded behind Leah, with steady strength. "Of course," Leah didn't look back, but responded loudly, her words full of confidence and pride, "When I return victorious, we will explore the unknown together and uncover every layer of the veil of this world." As Leah's figure disappeared, her determination and the salty fragrance of the sea breeze seemed to remain in the room. Xiao Chong clenched the Heart of Water in his hand and looked at Zi Yan beside him. Their eyes met, and they both read each other's determination. (End of this chapter)
