Chapter 95 Why is he crying?
Deep in the icy abyss of the sea.
The deep water is filled with silver hair as long as a waterfall and as white as snow. The back is slender and cold, and the whole body seems to have a cold and shining light reflected in it. Layers of cold blue and sharp dragon scales are faintly emerging from the bottom of the water, and there is immeasurable power lurking on each dragon scale.
The old man Changyi, with his old tentacles drooping, stood outside the icy abyss, reporting the news he had discovered to the figure in the water.
"When the original ancestral dragon bones transformed into hundreds of rivers flowing to the Five Mountains of Guixu, those five immortal mountains were controlled by the Heavenly Dao and have been floating in various places in unknown waters. So far, I have only found the approximate location of one of the immortal mountains, Penglai, which should be in the southern sea area, and--"
When Chang Yi was halfway through his speech, the ripples of the water curtain of the barrier were disturbed again.
The ascetic and oppressive face in the water finally slowly raised its head, opened its eyes, and interrupted Chang Yi's words.
"What is he crying about?"
The old man Changyi was stunned for a moment, and looked towards the other side of the barrier in confusion, following Yingshixuehantan's gaze.
The water curtain automatically opens like a rolling curtain.
Two water dragon beasts with black-scaled tails knelt outside the curtain barrier and reported truthfully to their king.
"New Palace just sent a message saying that he's sick and has been...crying and begging to see you."
The faint light of the water reflected Ying Shixue's cold face. He still hadn't changed at all, but there seemed to be a layer of frost under his eyes again. He said something lightly.
Then, the water curtain was isolated from the world again.
…
He Zhimo cried for a long time at the stone gate, and his little hands were red and swollen from clapping, but the Crystal Palace remained closed and no one came to open the door for him.
He Zhimo was afraid that Shang You would feel uncomfortable, so he carried Shang You back to the other end of the bed and stayed by her side without leaving.
After knowing that her tears were of no use to her father, she kept holding back her tears and refused to cry out loud even if she felt wronged.
But when he heard the sound of the stone door opening behind him, He Zhimo's moist eyes trembled, and he turned his head suddenly with a glimmer of hope.
The person who came in was not Dad.
He Zhimo stared warily at the man who walked in and looked very much like a human. Compared to the black-tailed monster outside, his face was not scary at all and was very kind. He instinctively opened his little hands to protect the bed, fearing that he was here to hurt Shang You.
However, he spoke to comfort her, "Your Highness, I am Doctor Feng, and I am here to treat the little princess."
He Zhimo raised his head and glared at him: "What do you mean by Princess? I don't understand. How can I believe that you are here to treat Youyou? I want to see my dad!"
Doctor Feng heard the little cub was so frightened and uneasy yet still politely called him uncle. His eyes showed a hint of pity, but he told him truthfully, "The king will not see you."
He Zhimo seemed to have understood something, and some frustrated words were on the tip of his tongue, but in the end he said nothing. He bit his lip, stepped aside, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "You go and treat Youyou."
Doctor Feng then approached and used the tentacle protruding from his sleeve to feel the pulse of the little princess lying on the beige bed. With a slight sense of relief, he said, "The little princess is fine. She's just showing signs of premature dragon transformation, so her body temperature is abnormally high. She'll return to normal after a good night's sleep."
He Zhimo stared at Doctor Feng in front of him numbly, "What dragon..."
Doctor Feng could see that the little fellow was still in shock, so he slowed down his tone and pointed at the pair of small dragon horns on his forehead and Shang You's legs, "Your Highness, haven't you noticed yet? You and the little princess have begun to show some of the characteristics of the little dragon."
He Zhimo was even more confused, "But, but aren't Youyou and I phoenix babies?"
When Doctor Feng heard the word "Phoenix," his expression changed noticeably, and his voice became a bit colder than before. He lowered his head and reminded, "Your Highness, it would be best if you don't mention these things in the future."
"Why can't I mention it? I'm—"
Before He Zhimo could finish his words, he suddenly turned around and saw Shang You lying on Bei's bed, mumbling vaguely, as if she had suffered a seizure in her sleep, "No, I don't want to be separated from my mother..."
He Zhimo quickly squeezed back to the bedside and patted the back of Shang You's hand with his little hand, "You You, don't be afraid, brother is here!"
Doctor Feng watched from the side for a while with a rather unpleasant look on his face, and finally he sighed in his heart and quietly retreated.
And according to what the old man Changyi said, he issued an order to allow the two cubs to move freely in the water from now on.
He Zhimo stayed by the bed for a long time with his eyes wide open. Even though Doctor Feng said Shang You would be fine after a good sleep, he was still very worried and didn't dare to relax for a moment.
Until his coaxing hands moved slightly, He Zhimo's eyes lit up, "Youyou, are you awake?"
Shang You sat up from the bed, holding his aching head, and kicked his calves. He realized what had changed, pulled off the small blanket covering his body, and saw that his original two calves had disappeared, replaced by a short, translucent blue dragon tail.
He Zhimo was also stunned for a moment, then immediately looked at Shang You's cheeks which were slightly puffed up with her short breathing. He knew that Shang You must be frightened now, so he quickly comforted her with what Doctor Feng had said:
"Youyou, it's okay, it's okay. Doctor Feng said this is all normal. Because we are little dragons, we will grow little dragon tails..."
However, before he could reach out to pat Shang You's shoulders, Shang You's little hand suddenly pushed him away, and then, with her little dragon tail half curled up, she looked at him with red eyes and hatred, and said in a trembling baby voice.
"I remember everything."
He Zhimo was caught off guard and pushed away. He looked at her blankly: "What did you remember?"
Shang You clenched her hands, choking with sobs, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably: "He was the one who broke Mom's tail feathers and snatched me from Mom's belly. He was the one who separated me from Mom..."
A nightmare from several months ago came back to his mind because of Hualong's seizure.
He Zhimo's eyes rolled around helplessly, "He is... Dad?"
The answer is self-evident. Shang You wiped the tears from her face vigorously and wanted to leave here immediately.
But without legs, Shang You didn't know how to use the dragon's tail for a moment, and almost fell off the bed. He Zhimo rushed over and hugged Shang You with open arms, "Youyou, be careful--"
Shang You pushed him away again, curling up her young dragon tail and moving back, "I hate him! I will never forgive him!"
He Zhimo stumbled a few times unexpectedly, and tried to coax her: "Youyou, Daddy..."
"I don't want to hear it!"
Shang You's shoulders twitched violently, and she interrupted him loudly with uncontrollable sobs—
