A bubble enveloped Li Wei, shielding him from the surrounding seawater.
Li Wei glanced back to see the spatial membrane at the cave's entrance seal itself shut again.
'So that's why,' he thought. 'No wonder the Naga Race couldn't come directly through here.'
'You had to defeat the Saint Dragon King and then break through the spatial barrier at the entrance to get into Sea Abyss City.'
Seeing that Saint Xi hadn't returned, the Mermaid Princess asked, "Did she stay below?"
Li Wei nodded. "Saint Xi is staying behind to receive the Holy Dragon Inheritance. It will take a while."
"I plan to leave for a while and come back for her once she's completed the inheritance."
The Mermaid Princess nodded. "So, you're leaving as well?"
"Yes," Li Wei affirmed with a nod.
"Thank you for your hospitality during my time here, Your Highness. I'll come back to visit Sea Abyss City if I get the chance."
The Mermaid Princess smiled. "Sea Abyss City always welcomes its friends."
