Princess Kiki and Ring, after enduring trials, finally obtained the white lotus flower.
They happily got into the flying fish, descending from the mountain, intending to break the sea serpent’s curse on the mermaid.
Little did they know, as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, just as they arrived at the seashore, a huge wave surged towards them.
Then a voice laughed heartily, saying, “If you want to break the curse on the mermaid, you must first ask me!”
Princess Kiki and Ring looked and saw a monstrous creature with a human head and snake body emerging from the sea.
Princess Kiki handed the white lotus flower to Ring, saying, “You stay in the flying fish, guard the white lotus flower, and don’t come out!”
With that, Princess Kiki stepped out of the flying fish and loudly exclaimed, “What kind of monster are you?”
The creature replied, “Truly ignorant, not even recognizing me, the sea serpent demon.”
Princess Kiki said, “So it’s you, the villain who turned the mermaid into a statue!”
The sea serpent demon chuckled, saying, “Now you know my power. If you’re smart, hand over the white lotus flower obediently. Don’t even think about breaking my curse, or I’ll turn you into a statue too!”
Princess Kiki replied, “The mermaid has no quarrel with you. Why treat her this way?”
The sea serpent demon chuckled again, saying, “It seems you don’t know much about me, the sea serpent demon. I only recognize money, gold, and silver jewels. Whoever offers me money and treasures, I’ll do their bidding!”
Princess Kiki said, “Then let me show you the power of a little sorceress.”
She took out the small wooden sword given to her by her sorcerer mentor from her pocket, uttered an incantation, and the small wooden sword immediately transformed into a dazzling sword of light.
Princess Kiki aimed the sword at the sea serpent demon, and it shot toward the creature like an arrow.
If it were an ordinary person, like the bandits they encountered last time, the sword would have overwhelmed them completely.
However, the sea serpent demon was no ordinary person. With just a few moves, he knocked the sword into the water.
Princess Kiki quickly retrieved the sword.
The sea serpent demon laughed heartily, saying, “With your meager magic, you think you can defeat me? I know your sorcerer master is powerful, but you’re far from reaching her level. I advise you to hand over the white lotus flower now, to spare yourself from my direct intervention.”
Princess Kiki replied, “It seems you don’t know me well either. I’m not only a sorceress but also skilled in Kung fu!”
With that, Princess Kiki dashed forward with the sword in hand, leaping up and thrusting it toward the sea serpent demon.
The serpent demon let out a wail as the sword pierced him.
Princess Kiki breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Strike the snake at its weakest point, indeed. Now you know my strength, don’t you?”
However, the sea serpent demon continued to laugh heartily, saying, “You probably don’t know that I, the sea serpent demon, am invulnerable. Your little tricks can only tickle me! That scream earlier was just to play along with your act!”
With a swift motion, the sea serpent demon flung Princess Kiki along with the sword several meters away, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The sea serpent demon wiped away his smile and said menacingly, “I’ve had enough of playing with you. Now, I’ll turn you into a statue, just like the mermaid!”
With that, the sea serpent demon reached out to grab Princess Kiki.
Inside the flying fish, Ring was petrified, unable to believe that the sea serpent demon intended to turn Princess Kiki into a statue.
Will Princess Kiki suffer the same fate as the mermaid and be turned into a statue by the sea serpent demon? To be continued.
