Chapter 268
Perhaps it is not just humans who have thought about flying countless times. The mermaids in the sea have also looked up at the blue or bright sky outside the sea time and time again in the dark and lightless deep sea, fantasizing that they will eventually grow a pair of powerful wings and then soar freely in the sky that also has no visible boundaries.
So, what does it feel like to fly?
Even if you have fantasized about it countless times, when you actually have a pair of wings and fly out of the sea, the feeling of breaking free from the constraints in an instant is difficult to describe with limited words.
Stunned, at a loss, surprised, timid, expectant, free...
When the pair of translucent green wings behind it actually spread out and flapped on the sparkling sea, the sea breeze hit the waves and splashed them on the thin wings, and then quickly slid down, leaving only a crystal water mark on it that also reflected the orange sunset.
The sea breeze around was fanned, and the fish tail that had never left the sea water slowly emerged from the water. The mermaid who had lived in the deep sea all year round finally rose from the water under the extremely gorgeous orange-red sunset, hugged herself helplessly with her hands, and slowly tried to relax with the happy encouragement of the elf.
For the first time, she saw the sea where she lived from the air.
The first time I felt flying, I felt the wings carrying my body slowly rising.
For the first time, I didn’t use my fish tail, but I was able to see a wider world.
From this small island, she could see where the sea and the sky met, even further away than before.
You can see the afterglow of the sunset spreading large stretches of golden orange and red on the sea, the waves are rippling, everything is like a peerless painting, any painting will only add more beauty to it, the sky and the sea are like two opposing mirrors, the sea can accommodate mermaids, and the sky can accommodate mermaids with wings.
There was no fate that jumped out to warn her that this was the prelude to death, and there was no so-called predetermined prophecy by the sea witch. Everything happened so peacefully and so naturally, just like the breeze passing over the sea. No one would have any comment on its violence or calmness.
"It turns out that mermaids look so beautiful with wings." Yara stood on the shore, with the pair of wings slightly folded behind her. She and the other three elves watched the mermaid trying to fly on the sea, her tone full of amazement and admiration.
"Of course, the immortals are a race created by the gods and creators with all their efforts. If we elves can have fish tails in the future, it will definitely not be bad."
"Noel is right, but if possible, I would rather be a forest elf forever than be a mermaid imprisoned at the bottom of the sea."
Yun Mian only taught her for a short while before Anriel was able to fly steadily. She didn't fly very high yet, but the occasional low flight allowed her beautiful blue fish tail to lightly pass over the sparkling sea, leaving a circle of ripples that gradually dissipated, just like the surface of a lake lightly touched by a butterfly or dragonfly.
Mermaid, elf.
Fish fins, wings.
A dark blue fish tail, flame-red long hair, and light green elf wings...
Anriel seemed to have become a completely new species, but the one who created her was not the so-called god or creator.
Instead, it is a little elf that is about to turn full moon, a whimsical idea, a soul full of ambition and tenacity, and most importantly, a pair of beautiful wings that the elves are willing to give.
"Sister, the elves in our tribe like you very much. They all want to help you leave Xitanya."
The elf, who was tired after flying two circles, lazily landed on Princess Yuyu's shoulder. He still held a strand of Princess Yuyu's long hair, shook his head in her neck and asked softly, "Sister, can I invite you to the Silver Moon Forest to attend my full moon ceremony?"
After she asked with her head tilted, she leaned closer and stared at her sister obediently with her round green eyes. She held her fair and tender face and looked eagerly, as cute as she could be, like a carefully carved little elf doll, extremely delicate and lively.
Anriel rubbed the little companion leaf on the little guy's head and said happily: "Okay, it's my honor to be invited by Little Cotton."
Yun Mian didn’t understand what was honorable or not. She only knew that she had brought the beautiful mermaid princess from the fairy tale back home. From now on, the mermaid princess would not have to lose her tongue and singing, nor would she have to lose her fish tail that could stir up the waves and wind and rain, nor would she have to endure the knife-like pain in her legs when walking, and she would not have to turn into broken foam in the sunlight on the sea after the wedding of the prince and the princess of the neighboring country.
The system also noticed the host's good mood. After the child woke up from sleeping lazily in the crook of Princess Fish's neck, the system came over and touched the little guy's pointed elf ears.
"Current mission progress is 98 percent."
"Mianmian, after we go back and celebrate your full moon ceremony, we will start the second fairy tale mission." The system nudged the tip of the child's ear and said happily, "Although there is only 2% left for this mission, after Prince Eric and the princess of the neighboring country successfully hold their wedding, as long as Anriel is still alive and well, it will automatically increase to 100%."
Hearing this, Yun Mian tilted her head to look at Princess Yu Yu who still had her tail immersed in the sea water.
This is the sea water of Xitanya, but they are almost approaching the Silvermoon Forest.
These sea waters are condensed by magic. Although it looks like only a small bucket, if Princess Yu Yu puts her body into this bucket, it will be proportionally reduced to a mermaid cub smaller than Yun Mian. This bucket of sea water sealed by magic can perfectly solve the problem of lack of water in her fish tail scales, just like Xitanya.
So on the way back, Yunmian’s favorite thing to do was to lie on the edge of the wooden barrel and stare at the fish princess swimming in the water.
Sometimes she would perform the magic spells she had just learned for the Mermaid Princess who was also lying on the edge of the barrel looking out.
The cleaning spell will still turn a beautiful little flower into a bald little flower, and the growth magic will still only be able to stimulate a tiny seed into a thin and tender green sprout.
When Princess Yu Yu leaves the bucket, flaps her wings and flies outside to observe the world, Yun Mian will lie on her, pull her hair, and feel the joy of being carried away.
Sometimes when entering the human world, Yunmian would beg her mother to cast a transformation magic on her so that she could turn into the human Yunmian. Then she would fill a small bowl with sea water and put the shrunken Fish Princess in the bowl. The two little ones would wander around the human world openly and buy many new and interesting things.
When they entered the edge of the Silvermoon Forest, Yara and other four elf guards, who were already very familiar with Anriel, shared with the mermaid princess the interesting story of how their little princess encountered human adventurers when she first arrived in the Silvermoon Forest.
"...How could the flower of death be a straight little tree? But by the time we wanted to correct Little Cotton, it was too late. The human adventurers didn't think much about it and quickly dug out the trumpet creeper tree that Little Cotton had turned into and took it away."
Yunmian picked a piece of tender green leaf and put it in the wooden barrel. The mermaid princess, who was tired of swimming, lay on the green leaf with a faint fragrance and listened with a smile to everyone talking about the various interesting things that happened after Yunmian left the Silver Moon Forest.
It's like listening to thrilling and interesting adventure stories told by a bard.
Perhaps, this should be called "The Adventures of Gremlins"?
Although she knew that everyone was talking about her, Yunmian also came over and listened with great interest.
What the system didn't expect was that all the elves tacitly concealed the matter of the sweet flower dew.
So even now, after hearing the story, the children still believe that the sweet floral dew they can drink every day during their adventure is a surprise gift from the Mother Tree of Life.
This is the sweet flower dew that only she, a little girl in the world, can drink every day~
Other elves, mermaids and humans have nothing!
The child stood with his hands on his hips proudly. Even when he was reminded of the fact that he had been poached by human adventurers before, he was not shy at all. Instead, he was extremely enthusiastic to show everyone his increasingly sophisticated shapeshifting magic.
Yun Mian pulled out her mother who was sitting in the carriage, and insisted that everyone look at her before she was willing to calm down and show the results of her hard study over this period of time.
Yun Yejin walked out of the carriage. Anriel, who was lying on the green leaves, instantly tightened her fish tail, and the transparent light green wings on her back trembled silently. She subconsciously swam on the water in the form of a mermaid, which she was most familiar with, and said respectfully to the Elf Queen who was looking at her: "Your Majesty, good day."
She was grateful to Her Majesty the Queen, but she couldn't face her at will.
After all, when she first saw His Majesty, her mermaid predator instinct kept reminding her how powerful and dangerous he was. That power and danger far exceeded that of a sea witch.
If the sea witch only gave her the dangerous and oppressive feeling of a higher-level predator, then the feeling that Yun Yejin gave Anriel was far beyond that of a higher-level predator.
The other party is more like... Xitanya.
It is a boundless deep ocean, it is a fate that she cannot escape no matter how hard she struggles, it is an absolute king-level creature that she cannot muster the slightest fighting spirit or ambition towards.
Hitanya is the deep sea that gave birth to mermaids. It is an existence that Anriel can only escape from desperately even if she wants to break free from her fate, and she cannot muster any resistance.
The first time she saw Yun Yejin, Anriel equated her with Xitanya.
Therefore, when the other person's eyes looked at her, what she sensed was not the gentleness that Yunmian had mentioned, but the turbulent and dangerous undercurrent suppressed in the deep sea.
When the other party's voice slowly sounded, what she sensed was not the pleasant sound that Yunmian said, or the majesty described by the elf guards, but the huge waves that were secretly surging and swallowing up everything under the pressure of the overwhelming dark clouds.
Xitanya is infinitely tolerant, just as tolerant as Yunyejin.
Xitanya is broad and deep, just as profound as Yunyejin.
Xitanya is mysterious and dangerous, and Yun Yejin... still has the same characteristics as Xitanya.
Therefore, the underage mermaid could never behave casually or let her guard down in front of Yun Yejin. She even recalled all the etiquette she had learned from her sisters, for fear that her brief greeting would lead to an irreparable mistake due to impoliteness.
"Good day." Yun Yejin smiled and nodded to the little mermaid, then stretched out her hand to pinch her daughter's soft cheek, and asked in a gentle voice: "What do you want to transform into this time, little cotton?"
Yunmian leaned in and kissed her mother's fingers, then answered without hesitation: "I want to transform into a trumpet creeper!"
It’s a flower vine, not a flower tree. She must let her sister Yala and the others see her great progress!
The series about Princess Yu Yu has been put on hold for now, but Princess Yu Yu will appear in the plot later, and may join other mission plots with Mian Mian.
