"Little Prince, are you alright?" The little prince tilted his head, looking somewhat tired. Wan'er, who had been standing by the bed, exclaimed in surprise. She wanted to come closer, but found that her hands and feet were stiff and she couldn't move. She could only stay in place and worry anxiously.
"I'm alright, Wan'er. I'm protected by the Ginseng King; I won't be harmed." Seeing Wan'er's concern, the little prince took a deep breath and quickly straightened his head.
Fortunately, the little spirit cat stopped the dark elf in time. Otherwise, if the plum blossom flames had been tainted by the dark elf's evil, Wan'er would have been possessed by evil spirits and easily controlled by others, with unimaginable consequences.
Mercury secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave the little prince a thumbs up.
I never expected the little prince to be so brave to protect me! Glancing sideways at her uncle's thumbs-up, Wan'er immediately understood and a warm feeling welled up inside her.
At that moment, a firework burst open above Wan'er's head, blossoming into a plum blossom. In the dim light, the plum blossom petals seemed like scales, shimmering with an eerie glow. A moment later, it shot towards Wan'er's left armpit…
As if struck by a force, Wan'er's body stiffened, and then she felt a burning sensation that spread from the plum blossom birthmark under her armpit to every part of her body...
A refreshing fragrance of plum blossoms, carrying a hint of warmth, wafted around Wan'er. Her pretty face flushed red, her blood rushing. On Wan'er's forehead, a red plum blossom appeared, also shaped like scales, beautiful and unique.
This lasted for about three seconds. The plum blossom on her forehead began to disappear, and the fragrance gradually faded. Wan'er's tense body slowly returned to normal, and everything went back to normal. Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief.
Wan'er! So, you are the legendary Plum Blossom Saintess! The little prince looked up, stunned by the magical scene before him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
“Wan’er,” Uncle Mercury walked over, placing his hands on Wan’er’s shoulders, tears streaming down his face, “You are the true Plum Blossom Saintess, the hope of the Water Clan’s future. Uncle has a few words to say to you. Although you have regained your true form, your spiritual power has not yet been activated. None of us can guarantee when your spiritual power will appear. What I mean is, right now, you are not much different from an ordinary human, except that the blood flow throughout your body is more abnormal. If you are emotionally excited, the fragrance on your body will suddenly become stronger, which means that because of this scent, you may attract more attention.”
Judging from the dark elves' sudden attack and how the little prince shielded you, our current location is most likely under surveillance. They just haven't found enough evidence yet and don't want to alert them. Do you understand?
"I know what Uncle means, and I will be more careful. But this house is my only asset, and I don't have the means to move right now." Wan'er frowned, looking at the doors and windows around her, as if countless eyes might be hiding in every place around her.
"Wanting to move to a different place isn't difficult," Mercury said, stretching out her arms and turning to walk a few steps towards the window, looking thoughtful. "Although the Water Palace has been damaged and no longer has its former glory, it's full of rare treasures. If I take you back and bring some of them over, buying a house or even becoming a ready-made billionaire will be very easy."
"Back to the Water Palace?" Wan'er's eyes lit up as she looked up at Mercury. "Uncle's words remind me. Was the Water Palace the one I dreamed of last night?"
