As evening fell, the group got off the bus and came to a mountain path...

So the place Sister Wan'er was looking for was our hometown!

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the mountain village, and along the distant path, several villagers hurried home.

Thinking of his mother who raised him, Li'er sighed deeply, hoping that his mother would be healthy and able to spend her later years happily.

But at this moment, time is of the essence, so I can only pass by my home without going in.

Standing on the village path, smelling the familiar scent, Li'er and Xiao Mei were overwhelmed with emotion. Holding hands, they took a deep breath and followed Wan'er and Mo Tian to the mountain lake that Su Li had designed into a phantom.

They hurried forward, and sure enough, Wan'er and Mo Tian, ​​guided by the longan, arrived at Silver Mirror Lake...

"So this is it? Isn't this Silver Serenity Lake? How did it become Vigilant Heart Lake?" Li'er was very puzzled.

“Actually, as long as there is an underground water source, every place where we aquatic creatures live can be interconnected. Longyan must have his reasons for bringing us here.” Mercury looked at the lake surface, his eyes shimmering with a subtle light.

Standing by the lake, gazing at its surface, the Silver Mirror Lake under the setting sun resembled a silver mirror, its surface rippling gently in the afterglow. It was even more like a freshly laid-out sheet of white paper, upon which someone was painting with pure colors…

Wan'er stood there, her mouth slightly open, her dragon eyes gleaming with a strange light, slowly moving forward until she stopped in the center of the lake...

"This is it. It's dusk now. If we get discovered, it could affect the nearby residents, which would be bad." Wan'er gazed at the lake, her eyes focused.

“We’ll handle this,” Mo Tian turned to the four beauties behind him and ordered, “We’ll work together to use a barrier technique to surround this lake…”

"Yes!" September, Li'er, Xiaomei, and Xiaoyu answered in unison. With a "whoosh," the four of them swung their right arms together, and four strange lights, red, orange, yellow, and green, like ribbons, floated towards the top of the lake and stopped around the Longan...

"Alright!" Mo Tian nodded, held his breath for a moment, and stepped onto the colorful ribbons to ascend. The two walls stretched out in all directions, and blue light suddenly flared up, quickly covering a height of about ten meters, forming a pot lid shape that covered the sky above the lake...

As the sunlight gradually faded, the lake surface became even brighter.

Just then, "thump, thump..." came the sound of two unsteady figures walking along the path leading to the lake.

"Hey, didn't you say my two daughters were coming to the lake? Where are they?" A middle-aged woman was helping an elderly woman. The elderly woman had disheveled hair and was wearing a pink fleece-lined nightgown. After they reached the intersection, they looked towards the lake.

"It's Mom!" Li'er was standing right in front of the old woman, less than two meters apart. Li'er's eyes welled up with tears, and her nose tingled. She ran forward quickly and called out, "Mom, I'm here."

"They lied to me again. There's just a lake here, I can't see anything." The woman looked around, glanced around, turned on her flashlight, and finally shook her head and sighed. "Never mind, it's so dark, maybe they were just seeing things and trying to fool this old woman. Sigh!" The old lady shook her head, sighed, turned around, and started walking back the way she came.

"Mom—" Li'er took a few steps to catch up, but "thump!" something bounced back on her forehead.
