Crown Prince Liushang stood atop the stairs. He watched Si Mingjing and Mo Yinhe ascend side by side, a protective barrier shielding them from the surrounding water. This created an enviable contrast with others who were in direct contact with the sea.

"Not that long," he replied.
Crown Prince Liushang held out the national treasure gift box with both hands, offering it to her.
