"We love you!" Just as their images faded and turned into countless stars, Wan'er saw her father open his eyes. His lips moved, but he didn't make a sound. However, Wan'er knew that he was saying these four words—"Dad loves you!"
"Don't be sad, you've liberated us. Go back to the Water Tribe..." Mother's voice came from above.
"Ding ding..." Two figures transformed into countless starlight. After the crisp sound, the images of Mom and Dad disappeared.
Tears flowed like a river, almost drowning Wan'er.
"Meow!" Just then, a beam of blue light appeared where the mother and father had just left, and a small blue kitten with dry fur leaped from the opposite side into Wan'er's arms...
"Mo Tian, it's you! You've suffered so much." Wan'er was filled with mixed emotions of sorrow and joy. She stretched out her arms to hug the blue cat and pressed her right cheek against Mo Tian's soft fur. "I know it was you who once again expended your true spirit to protect me and help my parents. Thank you!"
As Wan'er wept, she recalled the white-bearded old man she had seen in her dream and his words. Now, seeing Mo Tian's condition, she naturally understood that the Ginseng King was hinting to her that as long as she found him, Mo Tian could be saved...
"Hurry up!" The mother's voice was weak and feeble, as if it came from a distant overhead.
"How do I get out? Mom, tell me." Wan'er, who had no legs, was unsteady on her feet and looked around anxiously, but there was no reply from her mother.
It was too late. The sand beneath her began to sink with a "whoosh!" Wan'er, clutching the blue cat, tried to escape quickly, but her spiritual power was insufficient. She was helplessly pulled into the sand, and soon, only her upper body was visible...
"Ah!" Wan'er screamed, and gradually, her body was submerged. The sand and gravel hurt, and she felt her entire body being engulfed and crushed by the sand and gravel...
In a hazy state, Wan'er felt a beam of blue light appear all over her body, wrapping around her like a rope...
After an unknown amount of time, a chill crept in, and Wan'er slowly awoke to find herself dressed in a long orange dress, lying on a patch of grass at the mountaintop, her body and limbs feeling somewhat cold.
Looking up, Wan'er saw blue sky and white clouds overhead. She sniffed; despite the chilly weather, the air still carried a natural fragrance. Wan'er immediately understood that she had returned to the human world.
Recalling what had happened, Wan'er knew that her father and mother would never come back. Overwhelmed with sadness, Wan'er got up and sat on the grass, hugging her arms tightly and sobbing softly.
By the way, Blue Cat, where's Mo Tian? Where did he go?
Looking at her own embrace and recalling the blue light that had enveloped her earlier, Wan'er panicked. She quickly propped herself up on her elbows, her body aching slightly, and scrambled to her feet from the grass.
"Mo Tian!" After getting up, Wan'er started searching through the surrounding withered grass...
Ahead was a cave, and behind was a winding stone path. The size of the cave entrance was exactly the same as in the dream, except that I didn't see the blue cat or a beam of white light.
Standing before the cave, Wan'er took a deep breath and, without hesitation, stepped inside. Soon, the sunlight was blocked outside, and the surroundings grew dark. Visibility blurred, and everything became increasingly indistinct and unclear.
However, a strange current seemed to flow throughout the cave.
