Chapter 111: Ye Rong's Last Wish
Since it was confirmed that Shuang'er was at the entrance of the cave, Ye Rong naturally stopped being entangled, and made a decision in an instant, that is, to give up using the magic frog beads to melt the ice flowers that kept forming on her body, and instead dissolve the ice at the entrance of the cave.
Still, she would be frozen again, and there would be no hope of leaving the cave alive, and she didn't care.
At this moment, she only had one idea, that is, to use the last full power of the Demon Frog Bead to dissolve the hole into even a small hole, so that she could take one last look at Shuang'er, who was thinking about Chao Si, and then tell Shuang'er the news that Princess Yuanfeng and the others were trapped here, and she would be satisfied.
She knew that Shuang'er knew that if Princess Yuanfeng was trapped here, she would definitely do everything possible to save Princess Yuanfeng.
At that time, her mission will be over, and her last wish will be counted, and after a few years of surviving, she is really tired, and it's time to leave this world.
It's just that before she died, she still wanted to take one last look at the Shuang'er she raised herself, after all, she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, and she really wanted to see what Shuang'er, who she had always regarded as her own daughter, had become now.
She must always remember this last appearance in her heart, or she will not die.
When Ye Rong fell into contemplation due to ecstasy, Yuan Xunshuang, who was guarding outside the entrance of the cave, was still desperately patting the ice, trying to call inside, because Yuan Xunshuang had an intuition that there must be someone behind this ice, and it was very likely to be her Aunt Yuanfeng.
Considering that it was difficult to see Shuang'er through the thick ice, let alone talk to her, Ye Rong calmed down the ecstasy of hearing Shuang'er's voice again, bit the tip of her tongue, and spit out a large mouthful of blood on the Demon Frog Bead.
Suddenly, the Demon Frog Bead burst out with a golden light, and under Ye Rong's control, the light quickly condensed into a slender golden beam of light, shooting towards the thick ice at the entrance of the cave.
There was a "click...... and a small crack appeared on the ice.
The golden beam of light burrowed into the crack and began to melt the thick ice little by little, and with each melt, the crack deepened, and Yerong couldn't help but shed a tear because she knew that she was a little closer to Shuang'er.
As for the Demon Frog Bead, as it continued to go deeper into the cracks, there were more and more cracks on its own body, and it was obvious that this Demon Frog Bead was about to be scrapped.
Time passed little by little in this torment of extreme anticipation......
There was a "poof...... sound, the crack was finally penetrated, and a beam of sunlight shone in, and Ye Rong knew that the Demon Frog Bead had completely penetrated the ice.
After the Demon Frog Bead flew out of the gap, it also completely shattered because it had exhausted all the golden light, turned into a piece of gold dust, and dissipated outside the cave entrance, and was blown by a gust of wind and could no longer be seen.
This sudden change also startled Yuan Xunshuang, who was still shouting at the entrance of the cave!
When he saw a crack suddenly open under the originally smooth ice surface, Yuan Xunshuang hurriedly squatted down and looked into the gap.
Because the cave is relatively dim, and the sunlight outside the cave is strong, Yuan Xunshuang couldn't see who was in the gap for a while, but he vaguely felt that it was a golden-crowned black-tailed frog, and he was also staring at her on the other side of the gap.
"Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng, is that you?" Yuan Xunshuang stared at the vague but familiar frog shadow in the gap for a while, and her intuition told her that it was very likely to be Aunt Feng, so she hurriedly asked eagerly.
"Twins! Be...... You? How did you...... Will it come to the ruins? My aunt thought she would never ...... again Can't see you anymore? Ye Rong shouted loudly in a choked voice.
Because the outside of the cave is very bright, Ye Rong looks out through the gap in the cave and has a clear line of sight, so she naturally recognizes it at a glance, but the gap is too small, Ye Rong can see Yuan Xunshuang's face, but she doesn't find that she is still holding a child in her arms.
"Aunt Rong? Are you Aunt Rong? You're not already ......"
Although Yuan Xunshuang couldn't see who the other party was, she just felt that the voice was extremely familiar, in her memory, it was this voice that grew up with her since she was a child, she never expected that Aunt Yerong, who had been dead for many years, was still alive! Hurriedly asked excitedly.
"It's me, Shuang'er, my aunt didn't die back then, the gray-haired me you saw was actually a doppelganger magic frog bead, and the real me followed Princess Yuanfeng to the ruins. Child, it's hard for you all these years, you know, my aunt thinks about you all the time! ”
Ye Rong explained with emotion.
"Aunt Rong, Shuang'er misses you every day! By the way, Aunt Rong, why did you come to the ruins? How nice it was to stay in Yanjia Village and live with me. Yuan Xunshuang also said with a sad face.
"Back then, you also got married and had your own home, so my aunt was relieved to leave you, and besides, our golden-crowned black-tailed frog kingdom was in trouble, so I naturally couldn't live in Yanjia Village. That's why I came to the ruins to help you Aunt Feng, that is, the new Queen of our Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom. ”
Ye Rong said helplessly.
"What? Is something wrong with our Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom? Is my Aunt Feng the queen now? And what about my grandfather? Yuan Xunshuang asked in surprise.
"These things are what your Aunt Feng asked to hide from you, I just hope that you won't get involved, and just live in Yanjia Village with peace of mind. The specific situation, let's let Aunt Feng tell you in person later. Just, how did you come to the ruins? What's going on in Yanjia Village? Why did the whole village collapse and not a single person was gone? ”
Ye Rong said with some embarrassment.
"House collapse? We were fine when we left. Could it be that the officers and soldiers are chasing after them? The reason why all of us in the village came to the site for refuge was mainly because the daughter I gave birth to was the Lotus Born Heavenly Maiden, who was supposed to enter the palace as a concubine in the future, who knew that the palace change occurred in the Imperial City of the Lotus Kingdom, the old emperor was missing, and the new emperor was going to kill my daughter in the rain. That's why we came to the site to protect my family's smoke and rain. ”
Yuan Xunshuang said in surprise, and then briefly explained the reason for coming to the ruins.
"Do you have daughters? Is it called smoke and rain? Let my aunt take a look. Hearing Yuan Xunshuang say that he had a daughter, Ye Rong said expectantly.
"Come, baby, do you see, this is your aunt, it's a pity that you are too young to speak, and when you can speak, you must be the first to learn to call your aunt and grandma to know!" Because your mother was raised by your aunt. Yuan Xunshuang hurriedly brought the smoke and rain in his arms closer to the crack, so that Aunt Yerong inside could see her daughter clearly.
"Well, this kid is so good-looking, just as good-looking as you are. For so many years, my aunt and I have been looking forward to you getting married and having a child, and now that all this has finally come true, it seems that my aunt can really die without regrets. ”
Ye Rong said with relief.
"Don't say dead words, you must be good, we will all be good. In the future, we lived happily together as a family and never separated again. Auntie, I'm so happy to be there, I forgot that you're still trapped in this ice cave. Wait, I'll go find someone to save you right away. None of you will die. ”
Hearing Ye Rong talk about death, Yuan Xunshuang also felt that this was not the time to chat, and he should quickly find someone to rescue Aunt Ye Rong and Aunt Feng inside, so he said apologetically.
Just when Yuan Xunshuang was about to leave temporarily and find someone to save Aunt Yerong, the crack at the entrance of the cave suddenly sounded the sound ......of ice flowers, and it was obvious that the crack would soon heal again.
When he saw this scene, Yuan Xunshuang also realized that the crack was about to be frozen again, and suddenly, he was a little overwhelmed. I don't know if I should leave decisively to find someone to help, or stay here and find a way to stop the crack from closing.
When she saw new ice flowers constantly appearing in the cracks, Yerong knew that there was no time to catch up, and she had to get down to business. Hurriedly put his mouth close to the crack that was shrinking, and said word by word:
"Shuang'er, come back, my aunt has something important to tell you, my aunt is running out of time, so to make a long story short, your Aunt Feng is in this cave, and there are hundreds of soldiers and people of our Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom, they have been frozen for more than ten years. We still don't know who is frozen in this cave. And this is still a thousand years of ice, an ice that ordinary mortals' fire can freeze. It's not something you can just find someone to break it.
"You have to find the Liansheng Heavenly Fire to be able to melt this ice, so then, you don't have to worry about me anymore, go find the other golden-crowned black-tailed frogs nearby, and tell them that Her Majesty is trapped. Naturally, they would have found a way to find Lotus Heavenly Fire to save Her Majesty.
"Besides, we are not mortals after all, so until you are completely sure that the other villagers accept that we are members of the Kingdom of the Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog, it is best not to reveal our identities and the place where we are currently trapped, lest they treat us as monsters, and instead of saving Her Majesty, it will be counterproductive to try their best to kill Her Majesty.
"There is another fact that you have to accept, that is, my aunt and I, in the past ten years, in order to avoid hibernation due to ice, have been burning my own essence and blood to stay awake, looking for opportunities to escape, and looking for someone to rescue Her Majesty. So at present, the essence and blood have long been exhausted, and the oil has run out, and even the gods can't save me. It's just that I don't want to give up the opportunity to rescue Her Majesty, I want to pass on the news that the Queen is trapped, and I want to see you one last time, so I have survived until now.
"So, my aunt is no longer good, and now that you and I have seen it, even my granddaughter has seen it, you can also help me pass on the news, auntie...... Contentment. Also...... Tired, it's time to ...... Walk...... ......"
After Ye Rong said this, she slowly closed her eyes, and after persevering for more than ten years, she finally finished the last journey of her life and went to another unknown world.
At the same time, the shrinking crack was finally fully healed.
"Nope! Aunt Rong! You can't die! Shuang'er can't live without you! Auntie, you come back for me! Aunt...... Damn the ice cave, you give it back to my aunt! Woohoo......"
After listening to Aunt Yerong's words in a daze, and seeing the moment Aunt Yerong closed her eyes, Yuan Xunshuang cried hysterically at the ice of the cave that had healed......
