"Miss Xinli!" A scream of sheer delight echoed from the Sea Shell.
Jiang Xinli's brow relaxed, and she asked, pleasantly surprised, "Ayala, is that you?!"
Beside her, Ye Kuo looked shocked.
"Yes! Miss Xinli, it's me! Please wait a moment, I'll go find Lord Lanse!" From the Sea Shell came the sound of rippling water and the chaotic scurrying of tentacles.
Ocean Star, the Undersea Palace.
The Jellyfish Lady cupped the Sea Shell in her hands, her eight tentacles dancing with joy as she sprinted toward Lanse's bedchamber.
Just outside the palace doors, she was blocked by a Dolphin Guard wielding a drawn sword. "Lord Lanse is already resting."
"It's a message from Miss Xinli!" the Jellyfish Lady exclaimed excitedly. "Miss Xinli has contacted me!"
"Miss Xinli?" The guard furrowed his brow. "Are you talking about our Sea Queen, that noble Rabbit Clan female?"
