Chapter 263
Yun Yejin leaned over and easily picked up the flowerpot that was hiding in the corner and had all the gems on it stripped off. Looking at the little creature curled up in the sand and sleeping soundly, he did not touch her again. Instead, he took the flowerpot and four elf guards and left the temple of the sea god.
The elves in the Silvermoon Forest never believe in the so-called sea god.
The queen's scepter emitted a cold silver glow in the moonlight. She walked across the soft sand, avoiding human towns and came to a relatively lush jungle.
The four elf guards quickly built a comfortable tree house for her and Little Cotton. There were low, whimpering roars of wild beasts all around, but in the center of the jungle, it was difficult to see even a bug at this time.
When the morning sun silently shines on this vast continent, when the water vapor condensed at night turns into crystal clear dewdrops that roll and fall from the tips of grass leaves, the little elf who has slept all night curled up in his mother's arms finally yawns sleepily and opens his eyes in a daze.
Yunmian dreamed that her mother was holding her while sleeping.
She thought it was a dream, so when she was about to wake up, she clutched the sleeve of her mother in the dream tightly and was reluctant to open her eyes.
When he finally woke up, the child yawned halfway and then opened his misty green eyes and stared blankly at his mother's facial features so close to him.
"...Mom?" Yun Mian raised her hand to touch her mother's face in a daze. The soft and real touch on her hand made her happy all of a sudden.
She suddenly jumped up and threw herself back into her mother's arms. With her fist-sized body, she successfully woke her mother up. Then she opened her hands and held her mother's face, rubbing and kissing her.
"Mom, did you come over from your dream to hug me?"
"Mom, I saw so many beautiful fish princesses. Their tails are so nice to touch. Mom, it turns out that fish princesses have heads like ours. They can't eat fish heads, so they can only eat ordinary small fish in the water."
"Mom, I fell into the sea that day. The sea is so big. There are many magical lives hidden in the sea. Do you want to go to the sea and take a look?"
"And that sea witch sister, she had a lot of ferocious little snakes growing on her head. I wanted to buy one from her and bring it home to show everyone, but the sea witch sister got angry and kicked me and the fish princess out..."
"Mother……"
As soon as Yun Yejin opened his eyes, he heard the little guy lying on his cheek and softly sharing all the new and interesting things he had seen during his adventure. He talked about every detail very seriously, and his desire to share was so strong that it seemed like it was about to bulge out of his little body.
Yun Yejin stopped the guards outside from approaching and listened patiently and quietly to Xiao Mianhua's soft voice sharing everything she had encountered after leaving the Silver Moon Forest.
After it turned into a small tree, it was dug out by human adventurers and put into a smelly, black animal hide bag and taken away.
To obtain a flowerpot nest with many sparkling gems from a human adventurer.
Then we arrived at Narva after a tortuous but relatively smooth journey, and the sweet floral dew that was always present along the way.
...Until the end, Little Cotton hugged her mother's cheek and kissed her, and said distressedly: "Mom, can Princess Yuyu really not come ashore to play? She took me to the sea to play for a long time, and I also want to take her to the Silver Moon Forest to play. She will definitely like it there, and the tribesmen will definitely like the beautiful Princess Yuyu very much."
The friendship among children probably means that if I have visited your house before, it would be fair for me to invite you to my house next time.
Yun Yejin held the little girl in her palm and asked her gently, "Did Mianmian come all the way to Xitanya just to find the mermaid princess in the story?"
Yunmian was stunned for a second, then nodded obediently to her mother amidst the nervous mood as the system uncle kept muttering "Oh no, I've been seen through again".
"Mom, Princess Mermaid's tail is so beautiful." She reached out and hugged one of her mother's fingers, and said softly, "The sea witch said that only if Princess Mermaid's tongue is cut off and made into a potion can she turn her fish tail into legs, and it will be so painful to walk with those legs... I don't want Princess Mermaid to be so sad."
That's why she deliberately reached out to grab the sea snake, and relied on her instinct to firmly grasp the sea snake's vital point, because only in this way could the communication between Princess Yu Yu and the Sea Witch sister be suspended, and prevent Princess Yu Yu from reaching out to take the sharp dagger with a cold glow so quickly.
Listening to Little Cotton slowly analyzing her original thoughts and actions, Yun Yejin rubbed her daughter's soft and tender face and said gently: "I can help her come to the land, but Little Cotton, there is no so-called eternal soul in the world. It is just a beautiful lie made up by humans for the end of their short lives."
She said to her daughter, whose eyes widened in astonishment, "The souls of humans are mixed and dirty, and have been divided by many gods. But the souls of us immortals also have our own homes."
The souls of forest elves return to the Mother Tree of Life, and the souls of deep-sea mermaids return to the sea. The only difference is that after death, humans will have cold bodies that are decayed by time, while the immortal species will only turn into foam, sea water, leaves, flower seeds, or even a breeze that cannot be touched or seen.
Yunmian could understand it at the beginning, but the further she listened, the more obscure and difficult it became for her.
But she finally understood the most important thing, which is that the eternal soul that Princess Mermaid had been pursuing with all her heart and soul, willing to sacrifice her tongue, fish tail, and even her life... was actually just a widely circulated lie.
There is no eternity of the soul, there never has been.
Once dead, you are dead. You will not continue to exist in this world in the form of another soul.
"…Then what should we do with Princess Yu Yu?" Yun Mian's chubby face wrinkled unconsciously, and her light wings behind her fluttered gently. She couldn't wait to tell Princess Yu Yu about this matter immediately, but she was also worried that Princess Yu Yu would be very sad after hearing the truth.
Yun Yejin's slender white fingers gently touched Xiao Mianhua's puffy white cheeks: "Before that, Xiao Mianhua, why don't you learn the cleaning spell first?"
Through the daily reports of several elven guards, Yun Yejin had heard from them more than once that the little elven princess slept in the sand every day and woke up with her body covered in grass and sea sand.
And in two days, little Cotton will be one month old.
Although the little one is already a little over five years old when she hung on the branch of the Mother of Life tree, it has only been a month since she was born with her own soul consciousness and complete body.
Every elf who is about to reach full-moon age must return to the Silvermoon Forest and receive gifts and blessings from the Tree of Life and the entire race under the Tree of Life.
Yunmian walked out of the tree house and, under her mother's gentle gaze, obediently followed the four elf guards to learn how to recite and use the cleaning spell.
Therefore, in the following period of time, the system and the guard elves had the opportunity to witness the child's excellent natural learning ability.
She cast a cleansing spell on the flower, and the pollen and petals of the flower disappeared, leaving only a bare flower stalk swaying pitifully in the wind.
She cast a cleansing spell on the little ladybug, and the fresh leaves that the little ladybug had bitten off with great difficulty turned into powder and dissipated in the wind under its dull gaze.
She cast a cleansing spell on the tree, and the tree... the tree stayed firmly rooted in place, not even glancing at the elf.
Yun Mian made another effort and prepared to find the elf guards to practice her cleansing spell. However, the four elf guards agreed readily on the surface, but when she turned around, even their shadows disappeared.
Yunmian: “…”
"I've learned it!" The little boy couldn't help but explain himself with a red face, "I won't make your wings and hair disappear!"
The bald flowers are about to wither.
The baldness of the ladybug is due to the leaf, which is the dirt on the ladybug's body.
A big tree...a tree so big that she would have to cast a hundred cleansing spells in one breath!
"Why don't you try it on yourself first, little cotton?" The elf guard hiding behind the tree said with lingering fear: "The cleaning spell is for yourself. If you use it and nothing happens, we will believe you."
Yunmian: “…”
The arrogant and self-righteous expression just now turned dull in an instant.
She was just a little bit afraid so she wanted to try something else first...
These people of my tribe don’t care about children at all!
The elf squatted in front of the bare flower stalk angrily, looking up at the receptacle which was empty, and suddenly an even more bizarre idea popped into his head.
If I cast a cleansing spell on the sea witch's head...will all the little snakes on her head fall off?
Yunmian is a child who wants to do something as soon as she thinks of it. But this time, her mother is watching her, so she can only suppress the idea silently, and then she insists on leaving the jungle to go to Narva to find Prince Eric.
She was going to see the princess from the neighboring country and tell Eric that the princess was a liar!
Yunmian is indeed a biased elf. She likes Princess Mermaid and has a very thick childhood filter for her, so she is reluctant to let Princess Mermaid suffer even the slightest bit of grievance.
"I'm going to tell the prince that it was Princess Mermaid who saved him, not another princess, so he can't just be grateful to her carelessly."
Yun Mian finished speaking righteously, then pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty as she hid another truth in her heart.
Yun Mian also knew that it was not good to be biased, but relationships are always close and distant, and... those humans were all saved by her, so it was a far-fetched way to offset the situation, and the prince could no longer be angry with Princess Yu Yu.
Arriving at the familiar town, Yun Mian took her mother, who had also turned into a human, and first found a habitable house with her in the human world. Then, she went to the palace with a drop of sap from the Mother Tree of Life in a small transparent bottle.
When the guards suddenly saw Yunmian coming back alive, they surrounded her in surprise and asked her questions. Some of them hurried to report to Prince Eric and told him the news that Yunmian came back alive.
"Little Cotton?" Eric hurried over and breathed a sigh of relief the moment he saw Yunmian: "Poseidon bless you, you finally came back alive."
Yun Mian held the small glass bottle, looked up at Eric who looked delighted, then tilted her head to look at the princess from the neighboring country who was following him.
The other person was also looking at her curiously. When his eyes, as blue as the sky, met hers, he curved his eyes and smiled gently at her.
The fairy tale series will be a bit long, and the later stories will be shorter than the story of the mermaid princess, but when added together it will be a bit long. I will try to develop more plots next time!
