Chapter 11: The Cardamom Girl
At a glance, Ping Yi's face suddenly changed, he stood up from his seat in an instant, and looked in the direction of Bixia Palace, only to see that there was already a foggy building and a sea of clouds.
"How so?" Wei Jie glanced at him in surprise and muttered in a low voice, "It's okay when you came......"
It is a wishful streamer fan. Ping Yi couldn't help frowning, feeling a little annoyed in his heart - he should have put it away when he left, could it be that You'er touched the fan by mistake? She—She's going to be fine, right?
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but worry for a while, and hurriedly asked for his resignation: "Dongjun, there is an abnormality in the Phantom Wave Cloud Pool, I must go back immediately to solve it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
"Bixia Palace has always been orderly, how can it be so abnormal today? After finding out the cause, it must be dealt with strictly! Dongjun's face was serious, he looked at him and waved his hand, "You go back, deal with it as soon as possible, and don't let the situation further expand." ”
"Yes." Yun Zhongjun bowed and saluted, and said without moving, "Please rest assured, Ping Yi will give you an explanation." ”
Dongjun bowed his head and waved his sleeves slightly.
Ping Yi turned to leave, his figure flashed, and disappeared from the hall in an instant.
As soon as he left, Wei Jie couldn't stay any longer, and wanted to follow him back to Bixia Palace to see what was going on.
But he heard Dongjun not hurrying and said, "Where did you just go?" Let's move on. ”
Just now? Wei Jie was stunned for a moment, so he had to hold back his thoughts.
In the Nine Heavens, the white robe rode back in the wind, and the arrows passed through the layers of clouds and haze, and arrived at Bixia Palace in an instant.
Gu Yu, who had just walked to the vicinity of Chaohuapu, inadvertently raised his head, and suddenly saw a flash of white light in the air, heading straight for the Phantom Cloud Pool.
"It's the Divine Monarch!" At that moment, the person who was about to ask Shao Si Ming for help suddenly stopped, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he blurted out happily, "Great!" The Divine Monarch is back, and things are finally saved......"
At that moment, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, let out a sigh, hurriedly turned around, and walked back quickly the same way.
On the shore of the Phantom Wave Cloud Pool, all the fairies raised their heads in unison, looking at the white robe that was hunting and flying in the air, and their spirits were suddenly lifted.
Ping Yi hung over the cloud pool, lowered his eyes and looked down, only to see the clouds in the pool turbulent, the huge waves were monstrous, and the purple air was steaming in the long clouds and mist, and the Ruyi streamer fan was just rolled in it, shaking and bumping with the waves.
As expected......
He frowned, then pointed to the next point, and whispered, "Come back!" ”
Before the words fell, the Ruyi streamer fan in the pool closed together with a "swish", passed through the clouds like lightning, broke through the sky, and flew back to his hand in an instant, and then turned into a clear light, silently hidden in the palm of his hand.
As soon as the Ruyi Streamer Fan was withdrawn, the situation near the Phantom Cloud Pool immediately improved, the thunder and lightning in the air disappeared, and the accumulated clouds began to dissipate rapidly.
Ping Yi waved the sleeves of his robe to disperse all the clouds and mist in front of him, and then flew down, falling straight into the waves in the pool.
Following the purple flame, he soon found her at the bottom of the pool, but the moment he saw her, he couldn't help but be stunned - at this moment, the painful struggle in front of him was no longer the small fish that he had protected in the palm of his hand, but a cardamom girl who had not yet taken off her tail, shrouded in a purple halo, so beautiful that it was as pure and clear as crystal.
Fixedly staring at the mermaid opposite, he couldn't help but be moved, and in a trance, another person's face appeared in his mind, and that face, emerging from the dark sea of memory, overlapped with the face of the girl in front of him - it was the warmth and light in his heart, and it was also his deepest wound and nightmare......
In an instant, his whole body was shocked, like a lightning strike, as if lightning hit his heart, tearing apart the long-sealed memories and illuminating those bleak and distant truths.
At that moment, he stood in the midst of the surging clouds at the bottom of the pool, and couldn't help but raise his hand to support his forehead, and his body shook violently, almost unstable on his feet.
At this moment, the mermaid on the opposite side suddenly fell silent.
"Cloud! ——" Through the swirling undercurrent, she inadvertently saw that familiar figure, she couldn't help blurting out a whisper, crying with joy, the tears in the corners of her eyes rolled down one by one, and then were swallowed up by the clouds.
When Ping Yi heard her call, his heart was shocked and he came back to his senses.
"You'er!" He immediately rushed to her side and pointed at the center of her eyebrows, a clear light penetrated through her skull, temporarily suppressing the transformation of her body.
She suddenly felt that the pain in her whole body had been reduced by half, her body went limp, and she fell weakly into his arms, and her mind gradually settled down.
"You're finally here......" She stared at him, her eyes were crystal clear, as if countless stars were twinkling, her long, dense eyelashes were like butterfly whiskers, trembling slightly, and tears hung in the corners of her eyes.
"It's so uncomfortable...... she gasped in pain, and in her drowsy despair, she raised her hand and grabbed the hem of his shirt, as if grasping the last straw, and muttered in a lost voice, "I—Am I dying?" ”
Ping Yi was shocked, her heart suddenly pinched, and she hurriedly interrupted her words: "Don't talk nonsense!" Your body is transforming, and soon you will become a human......"
Yes, her body is transforming from a fish body to a human body, but due to insufficient cultivation, this transformation has not been able to be completed smoothly, just like a young butterfly that can't break out of the cocoon despite all her might, and finally can't escape the bad luck of dying.
However, how could he bear to watch her die in front of him?
"Isn't it really going to die?" She blurted out weakly, and a hint of joy flashed between her eyebrows, "I—I'm going to become a human?" ”
After so many hardships, you can finally get your wish? This is the greatest desire in her heart, and it is also the dream that her entire family strives for, only in this way can she gain more freedom and take her destiny firmly in her own hands.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile with relief, but she didn't know that if she wanted to transform into a human, she still lacked a hundred years of cultivation as support.
Ping Yi couldn't help but wonder in her heart, according to common sense, she had not yet reached the point of transforming into a human at this time, but now she was ......
"I really didn't expect ......" Looking at the mermaid in his arms, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you suddenly become like this?" ”
"I want to ...... Probably because of the cold smoke. She closed her eyes gloomily, full of remorse and shame.
"Smoke and Smoke?" Ping Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, "You drank the wine on the table?" ”
"Yes," she nodded feebly, looking guilty, "only a little bit." ”
Ping Yi shook his head and couldn't help sighing: "No wonder ......"
Han Yancui is not an ordinary immortal wine, mortals only need to drink a drop, they can increase their life for a hundred years, but if they drink a little more, it will backfire, and they will die immediately!
If an immortal with a profound path drinks it, he can not only prolong his life, but also improve his mana, but if he changes to an immortal whose cultivation is not enough, he will not be blessed, and his mana will be lost, and his life will be lost.
With her current cultivation, she can't stand the cold smoke at all, so under the urging of the power of wine, the transformation of the body is forced to advance, just like a flower that should bloom in June, because of a sudden warm current, but in the harsh winter buds, but because of the lack of nutrients in its own reserves, the buds quickly withered before they bloomed.
Between his thoughts, he couldn't help but blame himself a little, in the final analysis, he still didn't think it through, he knew that Han Yancui was not for everyone to drink, and when he left, he should have asked Gu Yu to put away the wine, so that he wouldn't be in danger of her.
Thinking of this, he immediately helped her to sit up, pressed his palm against the back of her heart, and the pure mana spit out from the palm and continuously entered her body.
The spiritual power flowed along the flow of her heart, like a gurgling spring washing over her body, making her feel extremely comfortable.
The scales of the halberd on her body gradually closed and slowly faded, the pectoral fins turned into slender hands, and the fishtail turned into slender legs.
And before she knew it, the turbulent waves in the cloud pool had subsided, and everything had returned to its previous state, as if what had just happened before, and she had been reborn and rejuvenated after a painful transformation.
After exhaustion, she fell softly into his arms, fell into a deep sleep, breathed like a breeze in a spring night, her face was serene and quiet, her eyebrows still had the childish air of a child, and the whole person looked clear and pure and flawless, as cute as a newborn baby in a cradle.
Ping Yi hugged her carefully, looking a little excited and a little joyful, and his mood was complicated for a while, beyond words.
He stared at the girl in his arms for a moment, and he was slightly distracted—it all happened so suddenly, he was caught off guard, but he was overjoyed.
Many years ago, God took away the person beside him, leaving him sad and disheartened, but after many years, without warning, he sent another girl similar to him to his side.
If this is a long overdue compensation, then from now on, he will definitely take care of her, and will never allow anyone to covet or hurt her.
Looking at the weak and delicate girl in his arms, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but lower his head, wanting to kiss her forehead.
However, as soon as this thought came to mind, his heart suddenly became in sharp pain, and at that moment, his whole body was shocked, and he couldn't help but pause, Huo Ran lowered his head and looked at his left chest.
