The Water Prince, who had been hiding his figure and had not shown his face, appeared like a blue meteor streaking across the dark night. Just one minute after the Ice Princess and the others left, he and Yan Jue, the master of ceremonies of the Lingxi Pavilion, stepped gracefully out of the Lingxi Gate, which was shrouded in a mysterious halo and seemed to connect to another world. They appeared in Qingxi Gorge, which had been ravaged by ice and snow and was as devastated as a frost-covered purgatory.
The moment his feet touched the ground, the Water Prince's keen gaze, which seemed to see through everything, locked onto the trembling, sobbing figure in the corner like a hawk locking onto its prey. It was none other than Wang Mo, heartbroken and pitiful.
He was extremely anxious. Like a flash of blue lightning, he flew to Wang Mo's side in an instant. His concern was like a flood bursting its banks. He asked urgently, "Human girl, are you alright? I'm late. My sister acted too rashly and willfully, which frightened you. I'm so sorry."
Jianpeng was already seething with anger because the shopkeeper, Fairy Xinling, was frozen in ice, and he himself was easily defeated by Pang Zun using a little bit of lightning. His chest was filled with pent-up rage, like a powder keg ready to explode.
Upon seeing the Water Prince appear, the fuse was instantly ignited. His tone was full of resentment and stern accusation: "What are you doing here? It's because of your sister that the shopkeeper is in such a miserable state of being frozen. How dare you show your face!" With that, he clenched his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and the veins on his arm bulged. He was about to charge forward like an angry bull, as if he wanted to vent all the resentment and anger that had been accumulating for a long time, as hot as magma, on the Water Prince.
Fortunately, Shu Yan and Chen Sisi reacted quickly, like two solid and reliable shields, and hurriedly stopped him from the left and right. Shu Yan leaned close to Jianpeng's ear, her voice extremely low, full of anxiety and admonition: "Jianpeng, calm down. Right now, we are like a lone boat trapped in a desperate situation, hoping to find a way to stop the blizzard in order to save this precarious situation. We must not offend the Water Prince. A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan." Jianpeng gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at the Water Prince, his eyes seeming to want to devour him. Then he took a few deep breaths, like a trapped beast suppressing its anger, and turned his head away, ignoring the Water Prince. However, the murderous aura emanating from him lingered for a long time.
Hearing the commotion, Wang Mo slowly raised her eyes. After recognizing the person as Prince Shui, she raised her hand, red from the cold and trembling slightly, to wipe away the tears streaming down her face. With a sob in her voice, she pleaded, "Prince Shui, at this speed, the Ice Princess's blizzard will soon plunge the human world into an ice age. Do you have any way to undo it? The shopkeeper was trying so hard to persuade her to withdraw her spell, but now she's frozen and in imminent danger. You must save the shopkeeper! Please!"
Yan Jue's expression was solemn, as if shrouded in frost. He shook his head, tapping his folding fan lightly against his palm, making a rhythmic "tap tap" sound. He said helplessly, "Little human girl, this matter is as thorny as being trapped in a thicket of thorns. I'm afraid even the Water Prince is powerless to save it. Once the Ice Princess's magic has been activated, it's like an arrow released from a bow, unstoppable, and there's no way to take it back."
If Shui Shui rashly injects her immortal power into the ice crystal plate, not only will she be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, unable to stop the raging snow and ice, but she will also be like adding fuel to the fire, making the snow and ice fall even more rapidly, dragging the human world straight into an abyss of no return.
In my opinion, before the human world is completely frozen and turned into a desolate icy wasteland, your best course of action is to hurry with us to the fairyland.
The Water Prince gazed at Wang Mo with eyes as warm as the spring sun, sincere and ardent. He slowly extended his long, slender, white hand, as if carved from fine jade, and spoke in a gentle tone, like a mountain breeze, yet with an undeniable resolve: "Human girl, take my hand and come with me. My invitation, from beginning to end, is steadfast and will not change."
Wang Mo stared at the hand, her eyes gleaming like a flurry of stars, a hint of struggle flashing across them. She bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a long time, then took a few steps forward. Though her figure was somewhat thin, it exuded a stubbornness.
Biting her lip, she said firmly, "Prince Water, I couldn't agree before, and I still can't now. The fairyland may be as beautiful as a dream, like a glass painting, but it's not my home; the human world may have a thousand shortcomings, as simple and ordinary as coarse linen, but it's the home that gave me birth and nurtured me."
"I have family and close friends I can't bear to part with. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with them to overcome this perilous journey through ice and snow, and we will persevere to the end, even if the road is full of thorns. Thank you for your trust and help in the past. Farewell." After saying this, Wang Mo mustered all her strength and pressed her hands against the Water Prince's chest, pushing him away with all her might.
How could the Water Prince bear to watch Wang Mo be mercilessly swallowed by the ice and snow, frozen and losing her life? He was heartbroken, like an ant on a hot pan, and whispered the spell, "Ye Luoli magic, the flowing water becomes a rope."
In an instant, crystal-clear water surged from his body, initially like a trickle, then quickly becoming a raging river, and in a moment transformed into incredibly strong, blue chains, like agile water snakes, binding Wang Mo tightly in the blink of an eye, rendering him unable to move.
"Hey, what are you going to do to Wang Mo!" Jianpeng roared, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. His roar caused the surrounding ice crystals to fall, as if he was about to break through the shackles and rush over. Luo Li, Chen Sisi and the others were also anxious, like ants on a hot pan, but because they were afraid of the Water Prince's powerful and mysterious magic, they hesitated and could only stomp their feet and worry in place.
Magical chains bound Wang Mo, like a hunter carrying its prey, and in an instant, brought her to the Water Prince's side. The Water Prince looked down at her, his eyes filled with pity, his voice as gentle as the warm spring sun, yet revealing a hint of urgency: "Human girl, go to the Fairy Realm. There are people there who are the nemesis of your magic. Although there's no absolute certainty, going there will at least give you a better chance of survival than sitting here waiting to be slowly buried by the ice and snow."
