As soon as Cangying finished speaking, Jiang Si raised her eyebrows, took a step back, and looked him up and down. "To be honest, don't be fooled by your old appearance and age. If you want to be related to me, you'd be my grandson, and I'd think you're too young!"
He was androgynous, neither charming nor heroic, and his aura was understated. His abilities were probably only slightly greater than Bo Jichen's.
Compared to her, I'm a tiny bit inferior.
If he is a young dragon!
She's several thousand years old; if you call her his ancestor, then treating her like his grandmother wouldn't be considered taking advantage of him.
Moreover, the scent he smelled and the probing words he spoke most likely belonged to Jiang Dandan.
Jiang Dandan, this cowardly dragon, has a human father and a female dragon father.
It doesn't say whether it's a male, female, or sub-female dragon!
Based on its dragon-like appearance, she couldn't tell what its gender was!
Cangying frowned slightly, looking at Jiang Si with extremely serious eyes, and asked in a calm voice, "May I touch you again?"
Jiang Dandan: "..."
What kind of insolent and lewd words are these?
It should be blocked, right?
Is it okay to touch its lovely and charming auntie?
This huge thing, who knows what it is, is thinking of eating!
Jiang Si smiled, but her eyes didn't reach her eyes: "May I borrow your forbidden passage?"
Cangying paused for a moment, then bargained with her: "If you let me touch you one more time, I'll open the forbidden path and let you go to the Deep Sea Ruins of the Merfolk in the Abel Galaxy!"
Jiang Si narrowed her eyes, pretending to be deep in thought. She reached out to touch her hair, and as she pulled her hand back, she also put the invisible Jiang Dandan into her spatial storage from her neck and shoulder.
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
Let's give a thumbs up to this lovely and charming auntie.
From then on, it became her devoted and unwavering lackey, obeying her every command without question.
Jiang Si extended her hand towards Cangying: "Deal, come on!"
Cangying looked at her outstretched hand, suppressed his heartbeat, took a deep breath almost imperceptibly, and slowly reached out to hold Jiang Si's fair and slender hand.
The moment he took her hand, the golden scales on the back of his hand reappeared.
Although the golden scales were not as ferocious as before, only a few were faintly visible on the back of the hand, but they still appeared.
Ginger shreds: "..."
The rotten egg has already been stored in the spatial dimension, so this situation shouldn't have occurred, right?
Does this mean that space also falls within her physical domain, so this situation occurs whenever Stinky Egg is within her sphere of influence?
Or rather, as the true descendants of the Chinese people, the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the offspring of the dragon, we have the dragon vein mixed in with our bloodline in the distant past.
Cangying held her hand, gazing at the faintly visible scales, and slowly raised his head to look at Jiang Si: "Miss Jiang Si, who is not human, or even human, can you tell me what species you are?"
Jiang Si pulled her hand away forcefully, shaking it off with obvious disgust: "Cang Ying, you just said you'd let me touch you, and then you opened the forbidden passage to let me leave. Now you're going back on your word and asking me what species I am?"
“I don’t care what species I am. If I have a child, it means I have a husband. If I have a husband, it means he is not the one destined for me.”
"Even if we take a step back and say I'm like a relative to you, someone you share blood with, someone who's been lost from your family or clan, then even so, I'm still your ancestor, understand?"
Try to build a relationship with her?
No one can have a chance to be with her as her destined one.
She wanted to be related to her by blood.
Can…
If you call her "ancestor," she'll acknowledge him as her grandson!
After the scales on Cangying's hands had completely disappeared, returning them to their normal color, he pulled off the string of white pearls that had fallen from his waist and handed it over: "I'm sorry, this is an apology!"
Jiang Si didn't know how to be polite; she just accepted what was offered without hesitation, saying, "Thanks!"
After taking it, I put it into the storage compartment on my wrist right in front of him.
It was intentional, to let him know that I have a spatial twist but nothing else, so that even if I wanted to hide something, I couldn't.
"Don't mention it!" Cangying looked at her, still unwilling to give up, and asked, "Can't you really tell me what species you are?"
Jiang Si's face darkened, and she clenched her fist and raised it: "I really want to hit you. I need to save my daughter. Do you understand? Can you please stop testing my patience again and again?"
This is never going to end.
They even asked her what species she was.
His ancestors, or what species?
Cangying didn't ask, but as the high priest of the merfolk, he still maintained his composure: "Excuse me, please make way for me."
Jiang Si took a step back and looked at the empty space in front of her. She was slightly puzzled. Could it be that the most dangerous place is the safest place? These places seem to have nothing, but they are actually the entrance.
Cangying stepped forward, cut his palm, and golden blood dripped onto the ground.
A burst of golden light instantly shone on the ground, dazzlingly bright.
Jiang Si squinted as the pricked eye stung, and saw Cangying drawing talismans with his blood-soaked hands.
That's right, drawing symbols.
His movements were crisp and swift, graceful as an immortal; every stroke was powerful and lifelike, as if it had a life of its own.
The bells on his two ankles jingled together, producing a melody more melodious than his walking. The melody was ancient and melodious, like sailing on the sea and hearing the song of a siren, so enchanting that it was mesmerizing.
Gradually, gradually, a whirlpool appeared in the place where there was nothing before. The whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, like a waterspout rising from the sea. You couldn't see the beginning or the end, only the domineering swirling eddy.
Cangying stopped when the vortex could accommodate 10 people walking in side by side. His face was pale, and he turned to look at Jiang Si: "The forbidden path has been opened. You can go now!"
Jiang Si looked at his pale face, stepped forward, and placed her hand on his shoulder. Her powerful spiritual energy flowed through his body and limbs: "I didn't know that opening the forbidden path required your blood. I don't owe you any favors. I will help you restore your spiritual energy and physical strength, so that you can recover to your original state!"
A warm current of spiritual energy entered Cangying's body, making him feel comfortable all over. His old ailments seemed to have been swept away, and his body felt light. The golden scales on his neck appeared, all of them.
A moment later, Jiang Si withdrew her hand.
Perhaps it was because of the nourishment and refinement of her spiritual power that Cangying looked better and more energetic, with a golden hue appearing around the pupils of her black eyes.
The golden scales on his neck added to his mysterious and noble air, as noble as... as a dragon god who could summon wind and rain, a handsome and unparalleled young dragon god, not the old dragon god in the Dragon King's Palace in Journey to the West where Sun Wukong begged for wine.
"Thanks, goodbye!" Jiang Si withdrew her hand, lifted her foot, and walked towards the huge whirlpool. The whirlpool was surrounded by water, and the inside was a bottomless blackness.
"Wait a minute!" Cangying called out to her.
Jiang Si paused in her tracks, turned to look at him, and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Cangying looked at her and said, "If you want to take the forbidden path back to Earth after returning to the Abel system, you can find the high priest of the Merfolk. He has a way to open the forbidden path!"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Thank you, goodbye!"
After she finished speaking, she stepped into the whirlpool, which immediately began to spin, as if a huge suction force was pulling everything that entered it.
Even with her strong physical and mental abilities, Jiang Si couldn't muster any strength in this mysterious, pitch-black vortex, where she could barely see her own fingers. She could only let the enormous vortex suck her in...
The entrance to the massive vortex slowly closed, leaving no trace. The blood that had dripped onto the ground was also completely gone, leaving no trace at all.
Cangying stared at the empty space ahead for a long time before slowly turning around and looking at Nanzhi expressionlessly: "Do you know who she is?"
Nanzhi dared not look directly at the High Priest, and respectfully lowered her head, saying, "I don't know, I only know that she is powerful, more powerful than any human I have ever seen."
Cangying asked again, "Stronger than me?"
Nan Zhi's heart trembled, and she knelt down: "High Priest, spare my life!"
Cangying walked up to her and looked down at her: "It's alright, please speak freely!"
Nan Zhi's heart pounded, and she said with trepidation, "Yes, she is even more powerful than the High Priest; she can be described as unfathomable."
Cangying asked calmly, "Anything else?"
Nan Zhi dared not hide anything: "Besides her being unfathomable, there is a snake by her side, a large snake that is tens of meters long and can change size at will, covered in scales, as well as an unseen creature."
Cangying's voice became serious: "An invisible creature?"
“Yes, High Priest!” Nanzhi said, “I was patrolling the sea with my subordinates when a powerful creature, invisible and intangible yet palpable, overturned us.”
"Wherever it goes, the fish and shrimp in the sea, regardless of size, all turn belly up and die. I have never seen it, but I can feel it. Its pressure and its power make it hard for me to breathe and make me unable to fight back."
"After we got ashore, my men were attacked by that unknown creature again because they were shouting and protesting. So... I made a bold guess that the unknown creature could be big or small, round or flat or long."
Cangying pondered for a moment: "Among so many of you, not one of you has seen what that invisible creature looks like?"
Nan Zhi, trembling, said resolutely, "No, neither I nor my subordinates saw it. However, one thing is certain: that unseen creature was not as powerful as that girl."
"Among the three of them, that girl is the most powerful, unfathomable, and terrifyingly powerful. Although she has a pleasant fragrance, it cannot conceal her intense killing intent."
Yes, that girl was fierce and ruthless. She had a strong aura of killing intent, which was overshadowed by the scent of herbs and trees emanating from her.
If she hadn't been naturally sensitive to smells and perceptive of strong people, she wouldn't have been able to sense these things.
The other party has a bad temper. Although she seems to be politely negotiating, there is actually no negotiation. Every word she says must be carried out.
The opponent was too strong, so strong that she feared she would overthrow the Merfolk. She had no choice but to bring her back to the Merfolk and seek the help of the High Priest, the King, and the Elders to see if they could suppress her.
Cangying rubbed his right thumb, middle finger, and index finger together. "Has there been any news from the Abel Galaxy? Has the Fourth Civilization's Great Witch Jiufeng found her mate yet?"
Nan Zhi retorted, "No, a few months ago, the Fourth Civilization's Great Witch Jiu Feng ordered the Phoenix Clan to migrate to a desolate star system."
He declared publicly that he was searching for the true meaning of life and its origin, no longer obsessed with immortality, and would follow the natural order and the laws of life!
Cangying rubbed his fingers together again, the golden edges of his pupils flashing. "The Phoenix Clan of the Fourth Civilization is obsessed with immortality, enamored with immortality, and greedy for immortality. They take immortality as their lifelong mission. Suddenly, they migrated from a prosperous star system to a desolate one. Could it be that the Nine Phoenixes have found the law of immortality?"
"No, no, there is no such thing as immortality in this world."
Yes, the world is so vast, with so many dimensions of space, and the universe is infinite, yet no species can live forever.
All living, breathing species have a lifespan, which can be very long or very short, but none of them live forever.
Jiufeng migrated his clan and left the Fourth Civilization. What was he looking for?
Immortality, eternal life?
Partners...for the purpose of procreation?
And the scales on his body appeared. Was it the ginger that made his scales appear, or was it the unknown creature beside her that made his scales appear?
If it were her...would she be of the same species as him, with the same bloodline?
If it wasn't her, but that unknown creature, would that unknown creature be his destined one?
Cangying opened his mouth and commanded, "Nanzhi, go and have the high priest of the merfolk compile a list of all the major events that have occurred in the Abel system in the past two years. I need to see it in three days!"
Nan Zhi touched the ground with her head down: "Yes, High Priest!"
Cangying turned sideways and walked back to the forbidden path. Looking at the forbidden path in front of him, which was empty unless opened, he wondered if he could find his destined person and have children in his lifetime.
With a bang.
Jiang Si was thrown out by a powerful force and into the sea, swallowing a mouthful of salty seawater. Her mental energy, which had been suppressed by the forbidden vortex, instantly returned to her body.
Just as she gathered her spiritual power to envelop herself, a tremendous force, accompanied by huge waves, surged up from above, directly lifting Jiang Si upwards.
As Jiang Si was swept ashore by the waves, she was immediately surrounded by countless mermaids carrying forks: "Who are you? You're skilled in returning to the deep sea, state your name?"
Jiang Si looked at these wild mermaids, each swaying their tails and with their upper bodies bare except for their private parts, which were covered by seaweed: "Don't you recognize me?"
Her face has appeared quite often in the Abel Galaxy. These fish even asked her who she was and asked her to state her name. Does this mean that these fish only live in the deep sea and do not have any contact with information from above?
"I don't recognize you. Who are you?" the burly, strong mermaid leader said. "State your name, and I'll spare your life!"
All right.
I don't know her at all.
It's good if you don't know her.
Jiang Si raised her wrist and pointed to the conch-shaped gold bead on it. "Do you recognize it?"
Upon seeing this, the circle of mermaids surrounding her retreated in a flash, kneeling down with fervent reverence in their eyes, and shouted in unison, "Greetings, High Priestess! We respectfully welcome the High Priestess to our mermaid clan and to protect our mermaid clan for thousands of years to come!"
