Meanwhile.
Underneath the winding and surging Li River.
Inside an ancient styled, yet not so small, Water Mansion.
In a great hall, decorated with gold, silver, pearls, and the shiny Luminous Pearls.
A middle-aged man of average stature, wearing a golden robe, with an ordinary face, grey-black complexion, and eight strands of golden beard on his chin, was sitting in front of a stone table.
Opposite him sat a thin and frail man, with a face as white as jade, small eyes, and a long head.
On the wide stone table, there was a full array of food and wine, most of them were terrestrial meat dishes.
In front of the long table, several beautiful women with shapely figures, wearing thin long skirts, were dancing.
At the side, several bizarre-looking Water Demons carrying shells on their backs were striking primitive musical instruments made of shells of various sizes.
