The sea in the distance, gleaming with a dark light, seemed to be breathing heavily, even more menacing than during the day.
Barefoot on the beach, the rolling sea stretches as far as the eye can see. The many stars overhead are reflected on the surface of the sea, rippling with the waves, as if stepping into a world created by a witch's magic wand.
Wan'er blinked, a strange light flashing in her eyes. She was surprised to find that although the scenery in front of her was not very clear, she could see the outlines without any light.
A sea breeze blew from afar, carrying a strong, fishy smell that irritated the nostrils. The howling wind and the crashing waves clashed together, creating a deafening roar…
The waves splashed against my feet. I thought it would sting because of the cold, but to my surprise, it was just a faint coolness, as if I had already gotten used to it.
"This is the Bay of Dry Bones," Wan'er said, her heart racing.
A blue light flashed in the little prince's eyes, and he shook his head slightly. The yin energy in this place overshadowed the winter chill. Wan'er had chosen such a place; who knew what she would face? Undeniably, she was about to face a tough battle.
The tiny prince stretched his head and neck out from Wan'er's arms. A flash of blue light appeared in his wide eyes. The prince twitched his beard, perked up his ears, tensed his limbs, and his consciousness suddenly sank. His thick paw pads gripped tightly...
Shui Xing, standing beside Wan'er, felt a mix of emotions, inwardly admiring her. "Truly worthy of the Plum Blossom Saintess," she thought, "not only is she meticulous, but she also possesses extraordinary courage. She actually chose the most treacherous bay!"
Mercury's face was stern; beneath his calm exterior, his heart was churning with turmoil...
Wan'er, I'm so sorry to have put you through such a huge challenge. It's not that I'm heartless, it's just for your mother, for the sake of the entire Water Tribe...
Wan'er, I believe you can get through this! Only after you've gone through this ordeal will you be transformed!
"Whoosh!" The biting sea wind, carrying a chill, swept over her face. Listening to the howling wind and staring at the dark sea a hundred meters away, Wan'er's steps became heavy, and her anxiety intensified...
Ye Wan'er, have some backbone! So what if it's your first time facing the ocean? So what if it's your first time performing a ritual to save the dying? The mission you bear has already determined that you cannot hesitate...
Even now, you're still a bit confused about your experiences and don't quite understand your situation.
But your burning passion tells you that your uncle's words are trustworthy. You already know that what you are about to face is no ordinary difficulty.
To defeat evil, you must strengthen yourself so you won't be at the mercy of others. Besides, you've already decided in your heart that as long as you work hard, you'll stay away from disaster and have hope of seeing your mother again.
As long as the outcome is positive, then everything you've done is meaningful. Even if the journey ahead is filled with wounds and exhaustion, you must continue, because you are Ye Wan'er.
Wan'er took a deep breath, held the little prince protectively to her chest, and braved the fierce, cold wind. Though her vision was blurred by the shimmering light, her steps became steady and firm...
Ye Wan'er, since you're here, make the best of it. Even if you end your life today, you must bravely move forward!
"I'm handing him over to you." Wan'er took a deep breath, turned around, and handed the blue cat to Mercury.
“In the past, your uncle could have stayed with you, but things are different now. This broken body of mine belongs to Er Gouzi. Only when I can break free from him in the future can I go back to the sea…” Mercury said helplessly.
Wan'er nodded, then stretched out her arms and gestured from top to bottom along both sides of her body...
