Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his hands were clenched tightly together, as if awaiting the judgment of fate. His eyes were filled with fear, as if he saw his destiny being controlled by the queen.
"Feng Yinsha and Hei Xiangling, why haven't you two captured the remaining two fairies after so long? Are you planning a rebellion?" Queen Mandora's cold and angry voice reached Feng Yinsha's ears, as chilling as ice.
Hearing the Queen's cold words, Feng Yinsha trembled involuntarily, recalling the punishment she had given him for failing his mission. Those painful memories flooded his mind, making him even more terrified of the Queen's punishment. His face grew even paler, and his eyes filled with despair. He seemed to see himself being punished by the Queen, his heart filled with fear.
Hei Xiangling sensed her master's fear and immediately flew to the mirror to explain to the Queen, "Your Majesty, we dare not. My master and I have been trying our best to complete the mission, but the sixth fairy and her master have been bound by a contract for a long time and have already mastered their unique magic, making them stronger than us. Furthermore, Liangcai and Jianpeng gained the power of plants in the Fairy Realm, so my master and I simply cannot defeat them. Besides, Your Majesty, the Water Prince you found has been slacking off and hasn't been taking it seriously, which is why the mission hasn't been completed. Your Majesty, could you please find us another helper?" Hei Xiangling finished speaking, her heart filled with unease, unsure if the Queen would believe her reason. Her eyes were filled with expectation, hoping the Queen would show leniency. Her heart was brimming with hope, as if she saw a glimmer of hope.
Queen Mandora's anger subsided by half upon hearing Hei Xiangling's explanation. She frowned slightly, lost in thought. Her beautiful brows furrowed tightly, like two small mountain peaks, revealing her inner contemplation. Her gaze wandered aimlessly, as if weighing the pros and cons. After a moment, she was about to say something.
At that moment, she caught sight of Feng Yinsha still kneeling out of the corner of her eye and said, "Get up! I'll give you one last chance to capture the last fairy. If you fail the mission, I'll turn you all into stone statues and imprison you in the mirror space. As for helpers, I'll have to consider that." After Queen Mandora finished speaking, she immediately closed the connection.
Seeing that the Queen had disconnected, Feng Yinsha breathed a slight sigh of relief. It was as if a huge boulder that had been weighing on his heart for so long had finally loosened. He stood up, his legs numb from kneeling for so long. He gently stretched his limbs and went to find something to eat.
He was utterly exhausted, but he knew he couldn't stop. He took Hei Xiangling to eat, yet his heart remained filled with worry. That worry, like a dark cloud, hung over his mind, refusing to dissipate.
He didn't know if this last chance would allow him to complete the mission successfully. If the gates to the human world were opened, how would they cope with the future? The road ahead was full of unknowns and challenges; where would they go from here? His eyes were filled with confusion, a confusion like that of a small boat on a vast ocean, unsure of where the path forward lay.
Fairyland Yan Hua Mirror Palace
Mandora was talking to herself, her voice echoing in the empty palace, tinged with loneliness. "Now Xinling has five so-called Ye Luoli warriors under her command, while my only dark warrior is Feng Yinsha. The Water Prince isn't truly helping me. It seems I need to find new dark warriors to bolster my strength. Where can I find fairies who have made contracts with humans? Those rebels in the Mirror Space should be able to help; they must be desperate for freedom after being imprisoned for so long." Mandora thought of a solution, a glint of light flashing in her eyes like a beacon in the darkness. She immediately put her plan into action.
"Ye Luoli magic, the two sides of the mirror, connecting the stone statue space." Mandora's voice was clear and powerful, and magical light flickered in her hands. She saw the fairies who had turned into stone statues all over the space, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
She randomly picked a stone statue that looked relatively powerful and cast a spell. "Ye Luoli Magic, Two Sides of the Mirror, Spell Reversal, Stone Statue Dispelled." As the spell was cast, the stones enveloping the fairy slowly fell off, like petals drifting down, until they disappeared completely.
The fairy opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the unusually tall queen. "Hmm? The petrification spell is off? You...you're Queen Mandora? How did you become like this?" The fairy's voice was filled with surprise and confusion, her eyes brimming with wariness. Her heart was filled with unease, as if she had foreseen an unknown danger.
"So it's the Fairy of Light Music. How does it feel to be a stone statue? Are you still going to oppose me? Look at your good friends Loli and Bright Color, they're all so happy now. Are you still going to stay in the darkness as a stone statue? Xin Ling in the human world never thought of coming to save the fairy who followed her back then."
"Join my ranks! Soon I will be able to open the gates to the human world, and then no more fairies will disappear without a trace." Mandora's voice was full of allure, her eyes fixed on the fairy, as if trying to see right through her. Her words were persuasive, seemingly capable of touching anyone's heart.
The fairy pondered for a while, her heart filled with conflict. She didn't want to turn into a stone statue again; she longed for freedom, for escape from this endless darkness. Ultimately, she agreed. She didn't want to become a stone statue again; she wanted freedom. Her heart was filled with longing, as if she could see her future reflected in it.
Mandora was very satisfied with Qingyin's answer. She gathered dark power in her hand and poured it into Qingyin's body. The dark power, like black smoke, slowly flowed into Qingyin's body.
Qingyin felt immense pain; the infusion of power immediately caused her body to emanate black energy, giving her a dark aura, and her clothes turned black as well. Those black clothes, like a curtain of night, enveloped her body. Afterwards, Mandora searched for those with dark hearts through the mirror, her eyes filled with expectation, as if she saw the dawn of victory. Her heart was filled with confidence, as if she could already foresee her own triumph.
