Chapter 8: A belated apology
The morning sun illuminates the earth, warm and soft, the crisp birdsong echoes through the forest, and the moist air spreads faintly with the scent of flowers. The dew sparkles in the sunlight, and the flowers and plants are delicate and beautiful.
"Ha~ It's dawn..."Huaxia stretched lazily and yawned, opened his sleepy eyes, and looked around:
Xingchen, who was still resting, fell asleep sideways, his long light blue hair was spread out, between the long strands, his handsome face was embedded with a charming pair of sleepy eyes closed lightly, and his slender snow-white eyelashes were even more attractive; however, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if the hideous wound was still faintly painful; a brand-new light-colored robe was gently covered on him, Hua Xia rubbed his hand on the clothes, and a slight cold touch came to his fingertips, Hua Xia smiled without saying a word, looked at the tall and familiar figure outside the cave, and got up and left.
Hua Xia walked cautiously towards the figure with a wicked smile on her face, she slowly approached, and the corners of the person's mouth were lightly hooked up with a smile, as if she noticed her.
"Got it!hehe~" Huaxia hugged the person all of a sudden, and the whole person leaned forward, with a satisfied look on his face.
Unexpectedly, the man turned around and gently hugged her in his warm arms, his eyes were clear and soft, and he whispered without hurrying: "Good morning, Xiao Xia~" He smiled, his fingertips stroking Huaxia's soft brown chestnut long hair, which made Huaxia's heart itch.
"Early, early, Yuntian..." Huaxia blushed, his hand loosened, and slowly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Ziyuntian's seductive dark purple eyes, afraid that his body and mind would be attracted to it, and he couldn't extricate himself...
"Inside, when the stars wake up, let's go to Linghu to find out. After Hua Xia finished speaking, he ran away with a red face.
When Xingchen woke up, the three of them walked together into the depths of the woods, and soon they reached the Spirit Lake, where the cool water rippled, but they still couldn't see through the danger lurking at the bottom of the dark lake...
"Huh! Is it Lingyu?" The familiar feeling came to her heart again, Hua Xia couldn't help but be surprised, but frowned again, "Could it be... At the bottom of the lake?"
"Your Majesty, I... I'm going to explore. With that, Xingchen straightened up, put on a "spiritual" posture, moved to the lake, and was about to jump down, but Zi Yuntian grabbed his hand, and raised his eyes to look at him.
"Be careful. Zi Yuntian's tone was kind, and his eyes showed reluctance, as if his parents were instructing their children before leaving...
Xingchen returned his gaze with a determined gaze, erected a thin layer of crystal barrier, and then turned his head and entered the water.
Swimming slowly in the spirit lake, soon came to the bottom of the lake where the sediment was stagnant and the aquatic plants were crisscrossed, and after looking around, I secretly thought: "It's nothing, where will the fragments be...", and the stars groped little by little under the unknown water.
Suddenly, the unusually thick tentacles that came out of nowhere easily shattered the barrier and entangled him violently! Suddenly, a dizzying feeling of suffocation made Xingchen a little confused, and without the protection of the barrier, he was even more panicked, and his hand began to frantically grasp the powerful tentacles, but in vain...
In the frantic struggle, the old wounds on his body couldn't help but tear open, and the pain and suffocation once again tortured every nerve of Xingchen.
"Damn!" Xingchen mobilized the power of his whole body, and at the moment of the instantaneous explosion, the tentacles were bounced open by the powerful force and shrank back.
At this perfect moment, he didn't care about the pain and dizziness, and rushed towards the lake, and the many tentacles behind him rushed over frantically again, chasing after him, and Xingchen glanced back, frowned in annoyance and said, "It's really difficult, ahem..."
A white and transparent splash bloomed on the surface ---of the lake, and after the stars rushed out of the water, a flock of tentacles frantically attacked.
Zi Yuntian glanced at it disdainfully, and said coldly: "Presumptuous!"
Then he kicked his feet, rushed into the air, and slowly spread his hands, only to see a purple black hole mixed with a little spiritual light arranged around him; a crisp snap of his fingers sounded, and countless terrifying blue-purple beams of light were released from the black hole, shooting mercilessly towards those rampant tentacles, and a strong smell of blood and baked paste spread with bursts of blood splashes...
Huaxia seemed to be accustomed to it, and immediately ran to take care of the stars: "Are you okay?" she asked with concern, using the power of the little spirit jade to heal him.
When the tentacle tide subsided, Ziyun Tiancai loosened his tense nerves, and those specific restrictions made his body a little tired, and his lips turned a lot whiter, but he still couldn't ignore every move of the monster in the lake, so he had to hold on.
"Hahahaha..."A wicked shrill laugh sounded, and a woman said in a mocking tone, "I didn't expect the Divine Dragon Emperor to be quite powerful." "A pretty woman with blond hair and blue eyes sitting on the head of a giant jellyfish broke through the water, and multiple thick tentacles wriggled around.
"It feels... Lingyu!" Huaxia exclaimed, immediately attracting the mermaid's attention.
She rolled her blue eyes and looked Huaxia up and down, as if she remembered something from the past, her pupils narrowed instantly, and the golden scales on the fish's body rose one after another, and she said in surprise:
"You... You're the one who raised me?"
Hua Xia raised her eyes and looked at the mermaid in amazement: her long golden hair was slightly curled over her shoulders, a pair of fin-like ears grew on both sides of her delicate face, a pair of blue eyes were beautiful and moving, but now they revealed indifference and ruthlessness, the words spoken by a cherry mouth were slightly harsh and arrogant, and the graceful posture and slender body of the fish were covered with glittering golden scales, and the flowing tail was white and gold... It's as beautiful as a fairy in the sky.
"Are you... 'Little Linglong' who was thrown away by her father!" After Hua Xia recalled, she looked at her with some surprise, and tears gradually moistened her eyes, "I thought..."
"Hmph, thanks to you, I survived a lot of hardships so that one day I can take revenge!" she angrily aggravated the word "revenge", and cast an infiltrating gaze, raising the corners of her mouth and said quietly, "It's just right." ”
With a wave of her hand, the giant jellyfish stretched out more than a dozen tentacles and swarmed away.
"Don't think!" Zi Yuntian slowed down slightly, and rushed forward with a quick knife to cut through the mess, and the crystal tentacles were cut off one after another, blood splashed, and the ten fingers connected to the heart, and the big jellyfish roared in pain, and the other tentacles also twisted.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Linglong was a little angry, and immediately launched a group attack with all her strength, the water droplets rising from the lake condensed into a sharp blade hanging in the air, and the jellyfish also raised their tentacles and prepared to attack...
"Die!"
Linglong gave an order, and the water blade and tentacles attacked like crazy.
The star in Huaxia's arms quickly got up, turned into an extremely thick ice wall, and conjured up dozens of sharp ice spears accompanied by purple lightning attached to Ziyuntian and rushed over the ice wall.
"---"
"Ping Pong ---"
After the noise subsided, Xingchen removed the ice wall that had been slightly broken by the water blade, and saw that the huge jellyfish had also been pierced by the electrified ice spear, and there was an impartial stab that happened to pierce Linglong's shoulder, and blood was gushing out, and the condition was terrible.
"Hmm... cough cough cough cough --- "Xingchen worked too hard, coughed up a lot of blood weakly, his face was slightly pale, Zi Yuntian was also a little tired, he could see that his whole body was trembling slightly, and he felt that he couldn't last long.
Hua Xia looked at the two worriedly, deeply blaming herself for being useless, so she had to do her best to heal their injuries.
"It's too careless to forget that there's another dragon!" Linglong said, a sudden sharp pain in her shoulder that made her face twist hideously.
"He who has a vendetta in his heart cannot be kept. ”
Zi Yuntian slowly got up, and a huge amount of energy gathered in his palm, wanting to give Linglong the final fatal blow, but was stopped by Huaxia who was in tears.
"Linglong, I know you hate me for abandoning you at that time, so I say a word to you at the end," Hua Xia held her breath, and then shouted, "Little Linglong! I'm sorry ---" When she said the last word, Hua Xia broke down and cried bitterly.
"Goodbye..."Zi Yuntian said silently, sending out a powerful beam of light.
Linglong watched the beam of light approaching step by step but was indifferent, she froze, hearing Huaxia's shout, her heart was mixed, and a tear stain unconsciously drew out of the corner of her eye...
"Boom ---"
After a loud bang, the beam of light blasted Linglong and the jellyfish into pieces, and the crystal jade fragments also fell into Huaxia's hands, glowing with a soft faint golden light...
"Little Linglong..."
Hua Xia looked at the fragments that still had residual warmth, and the shallow golden light reflected her eyes with mottled tears...
