Still Lake
“Water Prince, since you were able to save me from the Mirror Space, could you help me bring Shu Yan out of the Mirror Space one more time? He doesn’t have much time left, and I need to help him. Of course, if you’re unwilling, Water Prince, you can send me back to the surface.” Wang Mo walked to the prince’s side, took his hand, and looked at him expectantly.
Wang Mo, her face filled with anxiety, ran to the Water Prince, grabbed his arm tightly, looked up at him, her eyes filled with pleading and expectation, her voice trembling slightly but with unwavering determination: "Water Prince, since you have such miraculous abilities, able to rescue me from the Mirror Space..."
"Could you please help me one more time? Shu Yan is still trapped in the mirror space, and he really doesn't have much time left. I can't just stand by and watch my friend be in danger; I have to help him! If... if you're really in a difficult position and unwilling to help, then just send me back to the surface. But even if I go back there, I will never give up on saving him."
The Water Prince stood firm, like a pine tree, not immediately shaking off Wang Mo's hand to refuse her request. Instead, he slowly turned around, his deep eyes gazing into the distance. His deep, magnetic voice seemed to come from an ancient valley: "What good will returning to the water do? With your current abilities, you are powerless to change the situation. Going back rashly will only lead you to your doom. Is such a death really nothing to you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Mo's chest heaved violently, her face flushed red, and she clenched her fists tightly, shouting, "Even if I am to be shattered to pieces, I will never be afraid! I am a Ye Luoli warrior, and it is my mission to protect my companions and share the hardships. How can I back down now? I will definitely face these difficulties with them!" She straightened her back, her eyes burning, trying her best to show the Water Prince her fearless and strong side, attempting to persuade him with her sincere heart.
The Water Prince gazed silently at Wang Mo, a ripple appearing in his deep, still eyes. He was finally moved by the courage and perseverance of this small human girl. His expression calm, he raised his hand, his slender fingers gently taking Wang Mo's hand in his, chanting a mysterious incantation: "Ye Luoli magic, open the Gate of Spiritual Rhinoceros." As the incantation ended, a door, shimmering with a faint light and radiating a mysterious aura, slowly appeared. The Water Prince looked at Wang Mo, his eyes filled with expectation, and softly said, "This time I'm taking you to the Spiritual Rhinoceros Pavilion. If you can move the people there with your sincerity and courage, just as you persuaded me, perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope to stop Mandora's madness."
Stepping into Lingxi Pavilion, this mysterious place feels like another world, with clouds and mist swirling around, and ancient and majestic aura emanating from its carved beams and painted rafters.
As soon as Wang Mo steadied herself, she heard sharp, wary shouts: "Humans! Humans!" Startled, she widened her eyes and curiously looked around, but all she could see were strange-faced stone statues; she couldn't spot the person who had spoken.
Wang Mo looked down at himself. His once dazzling battle outfit was gone, replaced by his familiar school uniform. Filled with doubt, Wang Mo muttered to himself, "How did the transformation end? Did that wretched queen steal Luo Li's fairy power? Without the transformation, am I powerless now, like a lamb to the slaughter?"
Thinking of this, Wang Mo's eyes reddened, and helplessness and sorrow instantly welled up in her heart, tears streaming down her face. However, the leaders of the Lingxi Pavilion were not easily moved by these tears. Each of the stone statues had a cold and stern expression, full of displeasure. They surrounded her and shouted angrily, "Human, how dare you trespass into our sacred land! Do you know that you are the first human to have the audacity to step into this place and commit such a grave offense? According to the rules, violators are to be killed without mercy!"
"Kill! Kill without mercy!" The furious shouts were like thunder, making Wang Mo's ears ring. Her legs went weak with fear, her lips trembled, and she stammered, "It was...it was the Water Prince who brought me here. Now Mandora has opened the gate to the human world..."
Just as they were about to wreak havoc, I came here only to plead with you all to give humanity a chance. Don't judge our fate solely based on Mandora's one-sided account! As for whether I can move you all, I will do my utmost. The Water Prince merely gave me this opportunity to plead for you.
Seeing this, the Water Prince stepped forward, his expression still indifferent, but his words revealed a hint of protectiveness: "What she said is true. The situation is critical now. Mandora is ambitious, and the human world is on the verge of collapse. We should also listen to the other side's voice."
Water Prince's friend Yan Jue, holding a folding fan, strolled out with a faint smile on his lips, and chimed in, "Hey, everyone, this little girl seems to have some courage. Why not listen to what she has to say before jumping to conclusions?"
Seeing that the master of ceremonies had all pleaded for mercy, the other pavilion masters exchanged glances, their expressions softening slightly, and could only reluctantly agree. The Water Prince leaned closer to Wang Mo and whispered, "Everyone in the pavilion has their own temperament. You need to use your heart and words to move them. Only in this way can you borrow the power of the Spiritual Connection to save your companions and protect your world."
Upon hearing the words "spiritual power," Wang Mo's previously dim eyes instantly brightened like stars, as if she had grasped a lifeline. She took a deep breath, composed herself, and immediately began her "tearful performance."
With tears welling in her eyes, she spoke earnestly, tearfully recounting the beauty of the human world, the camaraderie among companions, and the desperate situation they faced. Her genuine emotions pierced through the ice in everyone's hearts like a ray of light, with surprisingly good results. She easily passed the initial test, and the Spiritual Trial officially began.
While Wang Mo was making some progress in her efforts to borrow the power of the spirit rhinoceros in the Lingxi Pavilion, Qi Na and Fei Ling were embroiled in a fierce battle and were extremely busy.
