Chapter 267
However, perhaps because the impact of this "whisper" was too great, Anriel, who was originally smart and rational and could instantly hear all the information revealed in the child's words, seemed to become stupid at this moment, with Yunmian. Her pupils slightly dilated, and after being stunned for a moment, she asked in a barely audible voice: "...A very powerful gift?"
Yunmian flapped her wings and flew up, and flew in front of her. After her sister's eyes were filled with her own figure, she happily spun around and nodded: "Yes~ It's a great gift, sister, guess it, and if you guess it right, you can get the gift!"
Anriel silently watched the elf flying up and down in front of her. The other party's translucent light green wings were penetrated by the sunlight behind her, and the light cast a circle of the same light green halo on her wings, just like the carefree little angel beside the God of Light in the legend.
Anriel didn't know how long she stared at the little guy's figure before she finally slowly started to think again in the hazy and distorted voice of Little Cotton.
Is the gift that Little Cotton mentioned the one that I imagined?
She opened her mouth, and her fish tail covered by the sea water stretched stiffly, her whole mind was tense, so for a moment, she thought she had guessed the answer, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.
When her long-cherished wish was about to come true, the shock Anriel felt was completely different from when she had been prepared to make all the sacrifices. Therefore, even though the answer appeared clearly before her, she was speechless for a while and did not dare to really speak it out loud.
It was as if that would alarm something, and then make the future that was within reach quickly run away like a slippery fish, leaving her with no chance to even grab the fish's tail.
Yun Mian noticed Princess Yu Yu's stunned look and her suddenly pale face. She stopped flapping her wings and slowly flew closer. Then she reached out and touched Princess Yu Yu's forehead with a little concern: "Sister? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to a deeper sea?"
She was afraid that Princess Mermaid was feeling unwell because the water here was too shallow.
But Anriel suddenly came back to her senses the moment she got closer.
"No!" She suddenly reached out and held the elf in front of her. When she met the pair of worried green eyes, she pursed her lips and told Yunmian word by word seriously: "Little Mianhua, I want to guess the answer. Please listen to me, okay?"
Yun Mian looked at her blankly. Under Anriel's expectant and even somewhat apprehensive gaze, the elf slowly folded its wings, then knelt in the palm of Princess Yu Yu's hand, nodded obediently with curved eyes, and said, "I will listen carefully, sister, you guess."
Even if she guesses wrong, Yunmian will help her sister realize her dream of going ashore.
Anriel breathed a sigh of relief, then tensed her body and nerves again, and said very carefully: "I guess... it's a very precious gift that can, can... let me move forward with my legs, walk on land, and leave the Sea of Hetanya, right?"
"...Is that right?" Anriel's voice trembled unconsciously in her final uncertain inquiry. Her eyes were fixed on Yunmian, not wanting to miss any changing expression on the elf's face.
Then she saw the little guy who was listening to her answer with eyes wide open, and suddenly nodded heavily after listening. Then he jumped up happily from her palm, holding her fingers and cheering in admiration: "Wow!! Sister, you actually guessed it! You are so good, how did you know it? I haven't told anyone, sister, do you know the magic trick? Sister..."
After a series of endless compliments and inquiries, Anriel looked at Little Cotton, who was even happier and more excited than herself. For some reason, the uneasiness and nervousness in her heart slowly subsided amid the child's smiling face and cheers. Even the taut fish tail in the water slowly relaxed and softened.
It was clearly just a whisper from a little one who was less than a month old. Anriel didn't even know whether it was true or not. But at this moment, she inexplicably felt a sense of relief and touched that everything was settled.
She stretched out her hand and held the excitedly jumping little cotton ball in her palm, moved it close and put her forehead against hers, slowly calming her fluctuating emotions with her breathing, closed her eyes, and unconsciously raised a bright smile at the corners of her lips.
Just like her rosy red hair, the mermaid princess Anriel at this moment seems to have truly broken free from the confinement of the sea called Hitanya.
Even though she still had a fish tail, even though she had never been ashore, she thought that day would not be too far away.
Butterflies from the Silver Moon Forest flew to Xitanya, and the mermaids in Xitanya also smelled the rich fragrance of the flowers.
Yunmian carefully took another transparent glass bottle from Yala.
It was a glass bottle exactly the same as the one given to Prince Eric, but what was contained in this glass bottle was not a drop of juice from the Tree of Life.
The sunlight created crystal ripples in the sea water, and the light refracted from the sea surface fell on the transparent and delicate glass bottle. So even though it was getting dark and dusk was about to fall, Anriel could still clearly see every outline of the object in the glass bottle by slightly raising her head.
It was a pair of wings only the size of a thumb.
A pair of translucent, light green wings with phosphorus that silently flicker and glow in the sun.
Anriel subconsciously turned her gaze to Yunmian.
The elf was flying in the air in front of her, its equally light green, translucent wings flapping constantly, carrying the elf suspended in the air. He was holding a glass bottle that was not much smaller than himself, and was gazing at her expectantly with his head tilted.
Seeing Princess Yuyu looking at him, Yunmian flew forward a little while holding the glass bottle and explained to her softly:
"Sister, the wings in this bottle are the pair of wings that the elves of our tribe, Ria, replaced when they reached adulthood. Mom cast a magic spell on them to shrink them. When you pour them out, they will automatically turn into suitable large wings. Then, sister, your beautiful fish tail won't have to turn into legs!"
This was also one of the reasons why Yunmian wanted to go ashore.
Her thinking was very simple. Just like what the sea witch said, since the fish princess's tail was so beautiful and powerful, why couldn't she protect the tail well and think of other ways to get ashore?
Since I can't walk to the shore with my legs, why not fly to the shore using the wings on my back like her?
When you get tired of flying, you can find a pond to stop by, or sit on the treetops or rooftops. Isn't that what birds do too?
Yun Mian didn’t consider whether it was realistic for the mermaid in the water to turn into a bird. She just wanted to find a pair of wings for the mermaid princess that could be installed on her back to fly.
The sea witch sister can turn the fish princess’ fish tail into legs. Mom is so powerful, she can definitely let the fish princess have elf wings!
Yunmian didn't tell anyone about her idea, so she didn't get any impossible answers. She just told her mother about her bizarre idea, and then her mother easily realized it in just two days.
"Sister, my mom is a super powerful and omnipotent elf mom, right?" After the child finished talking about his whimsical ideas and the process of realizing them, he couldn't help but lie on Princess Yu's head to seek her affirmation and show off.
She has such a good mother, and this is the most impressive thing Yunmian can show off.
Anriel held the small glass bottle, and suppressed her excitement and confusion, afraid of throwing the little creature off her head, so she nodded gently: "Yes, Little Cotton's mother is very powerful, much more powerful than the sea witch of Hetanya."
Yunmian: “……!!!”
Seeing this comparison, the mama's boy Mianmian was immediately very satisfied. She lay on the top of Princess Yuyu's head and happily urged Princess Yuyu to try out the pair of elf wings to see if they were useful.
The pair of wings in the glass bottle were indeed shrunken by the magic seal. When Anriel took a deep breath and poured it carefully into her palm, with just a flash of her eyes, the pair of wings suddenly and slowly grew larger until they could withstand the flight of an adult. Then, under the reflection of the orange-red sunset, they lay quietly in Anriel's hand.
Yun Mian was lying on the top of Princess Yuyu's head, looking down, unable to hide the envy in her eyes: "Sister's wings are so big and beautiful, mine are so small, I can't fly high at all, and I can't fly fast at all."
Even though Anriel was shocked by the pair of wings, she still took the time to raise her hand and touch the depressed little creature on her head to comfort him.
Under the gazes of Yun Mian and the four elf guards, she awkwardly put the pair of wings behind her back.
Under the operation of magical energy, the pair of wings quickly attached to the fins on her back and quickly merged into one. Apart from the slight itch at the beginning, Anriel herself did not feel any discomfort or pain.
The expected pain from bone changes and growth did not exist at all.
Until the wings had grown back, Anriel hadn't come to her senses yet. She wanted to touch them in a daze to get some sense of reality. As soon as she thought about it, the wings trembled and spread out, emitting a very bright halo under the setting sun. The soft yet hard enough wings even gently flapped her fingers, as if gently driving away the confusion and uneasiness in her heart.
"Sister, look at me~" Yun Mian flew down from Princess Yuyu's head, flapped her little wings with her back to Princess Yuyu, and enthusiastically taught her how to learn to fly high with wings.
Cotton Boy: Since our legs will be cut by the knife if we walk, let’s not walk and just fly!
