Chapter 411: Chapter 410: Searching for Stones at the Bottom of the Lake Chapter 411: Chapter 410: Searching for Stones at the Bottom of the Lake Above Lake Heart Island, a translucent Space Rift slowly opened.

Under the endless starlight, Lake Heart Island and the surrounding rolling vapors were tinged with a hint of starlit blue.

At the center, the Frozen Throne shimmered in the starlight, enveloped in a dazzling, magnificent halo that dazzled the eyes.

Lingling, dressed in a complicated long gown and wearing a petite crown, slowly emerged in the starlight.

She opened her eyes, which swirled with starlight, and gazed ahead, her demeanor unusually authoritative, as if she were a goddess statue wielding supreme authority.

On Lake Heart Island, the little toothed dragon looked up, its eyes bright as it gazed at Lingling.

Having grown up in Antarctica, it had never seen such a beautiful creature before.

Shao Zifeng and the little deer glanced at each other, and sighed in unison.

Alas.

It was starting again.

Sure enough, a cold, youthful voice arose within his heart.

“All the world is submerged in sin, all greed, deceit, and jealousy will be purified by starlight, and I… huh?”

Before she could finish her line, the statue-like Lingling blinked twice, and any majestic demeanor she had instantly dissipated, her curiosity turning to the uniquely shaped Frozen Throne at the center of Lake Heart Island.

“Duke~”

The Space Rift closed, and the starlight effects disappeared.

Lingling, light as a feather, flew to Shao Zifeng’s side, wrapping her slender arms around his neck, her cool little face rubbing against his cheek, “The gift Duke prepared for me, I really love it.”

A gift?

Shao Zifeng glanced at the throne, instantly realizing what this little one was thinking.

He placed his hand on Lingling’s face and pushed her away, “Lingling, act normal.”

“Meh~”

Lingling, not at all offended, giggled and flew around the throne, occasionally sniffing it with her tiny nose.

“It’s of ice attribute, not really to my liking.”

“Considering Duke’s straightforward personality… well, he doesn’t even have a girlfriend.”

“But since it’s a gift from Duke, I’ll accept it grudgingly.”

“Yep, Duke definitely likes me the best.”

Her chattering voice continuously echoed in Shao Zifeng’s mind, making the corner of his mouth twitch.

What the hell, who said it was for you.

And, just because the two of you are in a Symbiosis, do you have to share the bad habit of talking ill of others even in their presence?

The little deer guiltily turned away; those were Lingling’s foolish words, what do they have to do with the clever me?

The little toothed dragon stood dumbfounded, not understanding how that beautiful girl had changed so suddenly.

“Okay, let’s take a look later.”

Shao Zifeng reached out and pulled Lingling, who was almost sticking her face to the throne; doesn’t she know other people have sat there?

Lingling was obedient, looping her arm through Shao Zifeng’s, yet her eyes kept stealing glances at the throne.

“Still looking!”

Shao Zifeng tapped her on the head.

Lingling covered her forehead with a pitiful look, her large eyes gazing at Shao Zifeng as if she were about to cry.

“Come with me downstairs later; when everything is done, you can look all you want.”

“Really?” Lingling’s pitiful expression vanished, and she energetically patted her flat surface, “Don’t worry, Duke, I definitely won’t disappoint you.”

“You,” Shao Zifeng said fondly, pinching her little face, then turned to the little deer and the others, “I’m counting on you to handle the Array here.”

“Yo~”

“Gurgle!”

After delegating everything, Shao Zifeng looked towards the misty Under Ice Lake, his eyes slowly turning a crystal blue, his ear fins fluttering like gossamer in the windless air.

“Huh, a strange aura.”

Lingling sniffed at Shao Zifeng, having just missed the Ice Horned Whale and not yet met the new companion.

“Stop sniffing, let’s go.”

“Let’s go!”

Lingling flicked her small hand. Two crystal-clear thorn whips appeared in her hands.

A whip-crack sounded through the air.

…

In the cold lake water, Shao Zifeng and Lingling were slowly descending.

He didn’t know how many meters underwater they were, as everything around had fallen into complete darkness, barely a trace of light visible above.

Affected by resistance and water pressure, Shao Zifeng’s descending speed was becoming slower and slower, while Lingling, curious like a fish, swam around, examining the surroundings.

“Hmm~”

Shao Zifeng stopped, pointed downward with his right hand, his body looking somewhat distorted underwater.

Understanding his gesture, Lingling nodded and swam downwards a distance, her dress adorned with starlight illuminating the surroundings.

Shao Zifeng watched carefully and a smile appeared on his face.

By now, they were not far from the lake bed.

From here, one could vaguely see that the lake bed’s terrain was complex with rugged rocks and towering stone pillars everywhere, likely caused by frequent underground plate movements, undoubtedly increasing the difficulty of finding rocks.

The only good news was that the water temperature here was significantly higher than above.

“Hmm, hmm~”

Shao Zifeng descended to the lake bed and stood on relatively flat rocks, pointing ahead to a collapsed boulder.

Several vines, like serpents, entangled the rocks while Lingling muttered something about starlight and clearing the path, flipping the rocks aside.

As the boulder rolled with a dull sound, a series of bubbles rose up.

Shao Zifeng dispersed the bubbles with his hands, revealing a gray-white stone where the boulder was before. He picked it up and wiped off the mud, confirming it was indeed the material he needed.

Giving Lingling a thumbs up, Shao Zifeng continued searching among the chaos of rocks.

The space at the bottom of the Under Ice Lake was slightly larger, and due to the terrain, Shao Zifeng searched very slowly, finding only two stones after a long time.

If not for the distant pillars supporting Lake Heart Island serving as a reference, finding them in this pitch-dark water would have been even more difficult.

“Hmm, hmm~”

Shao Zifeng called to Lingling, who was whipping the rocks with her whips, and pointed upwards, indicating he needed to go back.

Maintaining the “second stage reaction” and resisting the enormous water pressure had tired him out, and he planned to rest on Lake Heart Island before continuing his search.

“Go ahead then, Duke. Lingling will help you look in other places.”

Seeing Shao Zifeng was returning, Lingling suddenly perked up, full of adventurous spirit, eager to frolic at the lake bed.

“Be careful.”

Shao Zifeng whispered in his heart, then swam towards the central pillar of Lake Heart Island, gradually rising as he swam, aligning his emergence from the water with the edge of the island.

Seeing Shao Zifeng disappear into the distance, Lingling waited a while longer, then turned her body like a mermaid and dashed into the piles of chaotic stones.

Ascending was much faster than descending, and soon Shao Zifeng could no longer see Lingling.

The surrounding light slowly became brighter, and the water temperature dropped again.

Just as he swam over a horizontal pillar, Shao Zifeng’s heart suddenly tightened, a hairs-raising feeling overwhelming him.

The source of the danger was…

Below!

He quickly looked down and could vaguely outline a huge fish-shaped silhouette on the dark rocks.

It silently opened its gaping mouth like a black hole.

A terrifying suction immediately enveloped Shao Zifeng.
