Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian exchanged a glance. Although filled with many doubts, they still followed behind Wind Grasshopper. They noticed that Wind Grasshopper referred to himself as "this Monarch" and mentioned that his ancestors were once appointed by the Celestial Emperor as the East Sea Dragon King.
The interior of the Dragon Palace was cold and empty, except for a few wives of Wind Grasshopper and the stern-faced Wind Tiger. However, the decorations were extremely luxurious. The floor tiles were made of precious cloud stone, smooth as a mirror; the window lattices were carved from exquisite coral reefs, like treasures of the sea; the pillars were crafted from pure gold, brilliantly shining; and the ceiling was covered with warm white jade, emitting a gentle glow. At the entrance of each hall, two luminous pearls the size of infant skulls were placed, shining brightly, illuminating the entire Dragon Palace in a dreamlike beauty.
