Chen Jingchou also withdrew his palms and took a step back. The woman who was called Her Majesty was about thirty years old. She had a graceful figure and delicate skin. Her pair of sea blue eyes looked around and she was very beautiful. He sized up Chen Jingchou and said,""Little Lord, I am the queen of this place. I have offended you for the misunderstanding just now.”
When Chen Jingchou heard this, he bowed and said,""Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite. We've trespassed into your territory by mistake, so please forgive us!”
"I guess you didn't barge in on purpose!" The Queen laughed. It's not your fault. What are your names?”
Chen Jingchou answered them one by one." We encountered a storm at sea. We don't know how we got here. May I ask where this is, Your Majesty?" This cave is very strange. Can you please point out the way out?”
When the Queen heard this, she giggled and said,""You can't be blamed for this. We are Di people, we have always lived in the belly of a fish. You were swallowed by my sea.”Chen Jingchou stuck out his tongue in disbelief.
" This giant sea is not an ordinary fish," the queen said seriously." It's an ancient divine beast. It's even bigger than the mountains on land!"”
"Oh!" Yu Xiaoxue said. No wonder we saw so many sunken ships when we came in.”
"That's the mouth of the giant sea," the Queen said with a smile.”
Tuoba Yu 'er frowned, feeling frustrated.""So disgusting."
"Our ancestors used to live on land like you," the Queen continued. A few thousand years ago, in order to escape the flames of war, he took a boat out to sea. Unfortunately, he encountered a storm and the boat capsized. Pan Gu took pity on them, so he gave them his mount, the giant sea. We will live in the sea forever.”
Chen Jingchou patted his head and said,"Oh right, I've also read about the Di Kingdom in an ancient book (Classic of Mountains and Seas), but I didn't expect it to be true! She didn't know that there was such a past!”
"What is the purpose of your voyage to the East China Sea?" the Queen asked with a smile.”
"We went out to sea this time to look for an immortal!”
"Immortal…are you referring to the one who lives on Celestial Mountain Island?" The Queen pondered for a moment and said.”
When Chen Jingchou heard this, he was both surprised and delighted. He hurriedly said,""Yes, it's the immortal from Celestial Mountain Island. If the Queen knows where he is, please tell me!”The Queen smiled and turned around.""Don't worry, please follow me. We'll talk about it in the palace." He slowly walked forward.
Chen Jingchou and the others followed. After turning a few corners and passing through a huge moon cave door, his eyes suddenly lit up. There was a stone tablet erected on a clam shell that was several feet wide in front of him, with the words 'Di Kingdom' written on it. Moving forward, he saw a few clear streams flowing by the side of the road. The water was extremely clear, but it was blue. The ripples reflected the five-colored light, which was very beautiful. After a meal, everyone had arrived in front of a magnificent clamshell-shaped building. It was shining with silver light and was exceptionally beautiful. It was really the Jade Palace. The Queen led everyone in. Chen Jingchou and the others were dazzled by the glittering and translucent jewelry on the walls, emitting a colorful and gorgeous light. In the middle, there was a golden carpet that was more than ten feet wide, leading directly to the queen's throne. Behind the throne was a coral screen that was several feet wide. The branches were twisted and the colors were gorgeous. On both sides of the stage were light blue pools of water with rose petals of various colors floating in the air. The Queen walked onto the stage and slowly sat down on the pearl chair. Chen Jingchou thought to himself that he had seen the world's wealthiest scene in the Dragon Boat Hall, but what he saw today was truly incomparable to the world. Yu Xiaoxue was mesmerized as if she had entered a fairyland. Tuoba Yu 'er glanced around casually before her gaze returned to the Queen.
The Queen gave three seats. Tuoba Yu 'er had just sat down when she said," Your Majesty, I've been looking around. All of you are so young!"”
The Queen smiled and replied,"Thank you for your praise, Miss Tuoba!" However, we are not all young. Our age will continue to increase with time. It is just that we can maintain the appearance of youth.”
Yu Xiaoxue praised,"Ah, it's so magical to be able to keep your face!"”
The Queen was quite happy. She smiled and said," In the past, there was a wandering sword immortal who relied on the power of an ancient divine artifact in the sea to allow each of us Di humans to live for hundreds of years. Moreover, we did not change our youth and looks until we died.”
Chen Jingchou suddenly thought of something and stood up.""Your Majesty, we encountered a storm on the sea. The ship was sunk by the waves, and there are several boatmen on the ship…I wonder if Your Majesty has any news of them?”
The Queen thought for a moment and said," Today, the giant sea swallowed a person. He's short, but I don't know if he's your companion." However, I've already sent someone to send him ashore.”Chen Jingchou asked about the person's appearance, and the Queen answered. Chen Jingchou was only relieved when he knew that it was Zhao Neng.
Chen Jingchou asked about the location of the Celestial Mountain Island. The Queen did not answer. A hint of melancholy flashed across her face. She lowered her head and thought, as if she had something difficult to say. "Your Majesty, do you have any difficulties?" Chen Jingchou asked.”
The Queen stood up after a long time and said slowly,""This Celestial Mountain Island is located in the illusionary realm where humans and immortals meet. It's not something that mortals can easily reach.!-- Only divine beasts like Ju Hai could get close to it. "I wanted to send you off, but…" Chen Jingchou stood up."Your Majesty, please speak."
The Queen's eyes darted around the few of them and said,""In that case, I won't hide the truth. I just saw that Childe Chen's skills are extraordinary, and your two companions don't seem to be ordinary people either. Therefore, I have a presumptuous request. I would like to implore you to defeat the Black Dragon King and save the lives of our people!”
When Chen Jingchou heard this, he was slightly shocked and hesitant. " Young Hero Chen," the Queen said seriously," if you agree to help me get rid of the Black Dragon King, I will immediately send you to Celestial Mountain Island. I will not go back on my word!"”
Before Chen Jingchou could reply, Tuoba Yu 'er stood up and asked,""Your Majesty, why did you kill the Dark Dragon King? Did he have any grudge against you?”
"We don't have any grudges against the Black Dragon King." The Queen frowned and said sadly. However, some time ago, he had heard from somewhere that as long as one drank the blood of the Di people, they would be able to maintain their youth forever!”He sighed lightly. In order to prolong his life, he had been following the giant sea and killing his own race. "Our race is unable to fight against it, so we have suffered heavy casualties…Now, nearly a third of our race has been devoured by it! As the queen, I'm still helpless. I'm really ashamed!”
Tuoba Yu 'er raised her eyebrows. This is too much!" He turned his head. What are you still hesitating about?" " I…I'm worried that if we can't defeat the Black Dragon King and anger him instead…Wouldn't that put the Queen and her tribe in even more danger?" Chen Jingchou stammered.”
The Queen looked at the crowd and pondered for a moment. She made up her mind and said,"Everyone, please do not worry. As long as the three of you are willing to try, no matter what the consequences are in the future, it has nothing to do with you. All the responsibility will be borne by this king!”
"Brother Chen, since the Queen has said so, shouldn't we give it a try?" Yu Xiaoxue also said.”
Chen Jingchou raised his head and pondered for a moment before saying,""Well, in that case, alright! Your Majesty, we can only give it a try. We can't guarantee success. Please forgive us.”The Queen was overjoyed and thanked the three of them. That night, she held a banquet in the side hall to entertain everyone. The dishes on the table were all rare and delicious. Although there was no dragon liver and wind marrow, they were still rare and delicious dishes that did not exist in the world. Even the abalone and shark fins were just a foil. As Chen Jingchou ate, he kept nodding his head in praise. The crowd didn't disperse until late at night. The Queen sent Chen Jingchou off to rest.
Early the next morning, the Queen sent over exquisite snacks. After Chen Jingchou and the others ate, they went to the palace and asked the Queen about the Black Dragon King's residence. The Queen told them in detail and personally led them out of the city to the exit to the Dragon Palace. Chen Jingchou looked around and was surprised. There was only a lake in front of him, and the water was rippling. There was no road. The Queen extended her cane into the water and shook it slightly. Not long after, a small whale floated up from the lake and swam to the shore, obeying orders. " The Black Dragon King lives in his palace in the deep sea," the Queen said." If you want to get there, you must take this little whale." These two little girls will send you on your way.”With that, two women walked over and bowed to Chen Jingchou. Chen Jingchou hurriedly returned the greeting. He raised his head and saw that it was the two women who had exchanged blows with him yesterday. He couldn't help but laugh,"Sisters, good kung fu! I have offended you yesterday!"
The two women smiled and replied,""This servant is far inferior to young master. When will we spar again?”The Queen gave them a look, and the two women immediately stopped smiling and stood quietly.
"Your Majesty, why isn't there a path on the lake?" Tuoba Yu 'er asked. "Do we have to ride on the back of a whale and dive to the bottom of the sea? But we're just mortals…" The Queen continued,""Lady Tuoba, you don't have to worry. I've already prepared a Red Sky Silk for the three of you, one for each of you. As long as you tie it to your hands, you'll be able to breathe normally in the water and come and go as you please.”Tuoba Yu 'er heaved a sigh of relief. The three of them took it and were ready. The two women climbed onto the back of the whale and pulled Yu Xiaoxue and Tuoba Yu 'er up. Chen Jingchou turned around and followed suit.
Just as they were about to set off, the Queen suddenly said," Oh right, there's something very important. There's an extremely huge clam shell in the Dragon Palace. There's a divine seal embedded on it. You must not let the Black Dragon King take it off! If the Divine Seal is removed, not only will the Black Dragon King die, but our race will also suffer a great calamity! Remember! Remember!" "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll definitely remember it!" Chen Jingchou said.”He bid farewell to the Queen. The two women whistled, and the whale carried everyone around before slowly entering the water.
Chen Jingchou and Yu Xiaoxue weren't worried. They were used to playing in the water since they were young, so their bodies were relaxed. Tuoba Yu 'er watched as the seawater gradually rose to the top of her head. She could not help but feel a little flustered. She closed her eyes tightly and held her breath. Soon, her entire body was cool and she was already in the seawater. Tuoba Yu 'er didn't dare to make a sound. Her face was flushed red like two red apples. When the two women saw this, they pursed their lips and smiled. Chen Jingchou looked around. He was like a fish in the blue sea, able to breathe freely in the water. He was extremely amazed. When he turned around and saw Tuoba Yu 'er's sullen face, he quickly reached out and scratched her armpit. Tuoba Yu 'er couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, she was already in the water and there was nothing wrong with her. Chen Jingchou laughed.
"Ah Chou, can you not be so annoying?!" Tuoba Yu 'er said angrily.”Yu Xiaoxue looked at the colorful fish around her and shuttled through the colorful coral reefs. She was indescribably happy. She reached out and gently stroked the fish that was closer to her. The fish circled her palm and swam up and down. It lingered around her hand and refused to leave. Her smile was like a flower, she was only willing to stay for a moment longer and was satisfied. However, the whale carried everyone and dove into the deep sea. The surroundings gradually darkened, and the fish disappeared. An hour later, they had reached the bottom of the sea. There was a light in front of them. When they reached it, they saw a cave entrance.
The two palace maids stopped the whale and led the three into the cave. Chen Jingchou and the others followed closely behind. The light grew brighter and brighter, and the cave gradually grew larger. After walking for about a thousand feet, he walked out of the cave and stood at the entrance of the cave. He saw a bright light outside the cave.
"Young Master, be careful. This is the Dragon Palace," the two women whispered.”As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous voice suddenly came from the cave."How dare you! Who was it? How dare you trespass into this king's palace!" The two women raised their steel forks and jumped out of the hole.
Chen Jingchou and the other two followed suit, their eyes bright. Upon closer inspection, he was greatly disappointed. This did not look like a dragon palace at all. There was only a stretch of water grass and some starfish on both sides. Other than a large stone chair, there were no other decorations. Compared to the Queen's palace, it was very poor. A monster with a dragon head and a human body sat on the chair. Its skin was dark and its eyes were like torches. Behind him was a large clamshell screen with an ancient stone seal embedded in it.
Tuoba Yu 'er took a step forward with her sword and shouted,""Humph! Are you the Black Dragon King?"
The monster slowly stood up and said,"It's this king!" Why are you looking for me?”
Tuoba Yu 'er raised her eyebrows and said coldly,""I heard that in order to prolong your life, you went to casually kill the Di Human Race. Is this true?”The Black Dragon King felt disdain in his heart. He didn't even look at Chen Jingchou and the others and said,""So what if I am?"
Tuoba Yu 'er said angrily," You…Everyone has their own family. You're just killing them for your own benefit. Isn't that too selfish?!"”
The Black Dragon King laughed heartily." Little brat, you're full of nonsense. Haven't you people on land always been like this? How are you any better than me?" You actually dare to lecture this king?" Tuoba Yu 'er was at a loss for words and did not know how to answer. The Black Dragon King continued," If we're talking about selfishness, you're not inferior to me. Don't be hypocritical here! This king doesn't want to kill today, you guys go quickly!”He turned his head away.
Chen Jingchou hesitated after hearing the Black Dragon King's words. When the two girls saw this, they quickly stepped forward and shouted,""Black Dragon King, you ate our entire family, you hateful devil!”He turned around and knelt down, begging Chen Jingchou and the others,""Three heroes, I beg you to avenge my parents and sisters…I beg you!”She cried and wept.
Tuoba Yu 'er thought of her deceased parents and felt a pang in her heart. She shouted,""Black Dragon King, did you see that? You've probably never experienced the pain of losing a loved one, right?”"Ignorant brat, have you tasted it before?" The Black Dragon King grinned hideously.”Tuoba Yu 'er hesitated for a moment before replying," My parents died in the court's unprovoked killings. That's why I can feel this pain!" How can you feel this!" The Black Dragon King's face darkened, and he looked even more ferocious.""Hmph, you came here today because you don't want to give up so easily and want to take revenge on me, right?”" You're dead!" The two women shouted in unison," Black Dragon King, your death is here!" We want you to pay with your blood!" The Black Dragon King was furious." Alright, cut the crap. All of you, come at me together!"”He suddenly shouted and tore his cloak, revealing his blue-gray scales.
Chen Jingchou and the other two raised their weapons and protected their bodies as they focused on the battle. Time seemed to have stopped. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while. The Black Dragon King suddenly leaped up, opened his huge mouth, and leaned forward. With a swoosh, he spat out a blue flame that rolled toward the three of them like a rolling wave. "Be careful!" Chen Jingchou shouted. Tuoba Yu 'er and Yu Xiaoxue quickly dodged to the sides. Chen Jingchou watched as the flames reached a foot in front of him. Suddenly, he leaped into the air, his movements unusually swift. The Black Dragon King bent his legs slightly and jumped up as well. He raised his claws and grabbed at Chen Jingchou. Chen Jingchou did a flip in the air and suddenly thrust his sword forward. The Black Dragon King was shocked and quickly retracted his claws. He shook his head and spat out another ball of flames. The flame floated and moved. Although it wasn't as fast as the previous one, it was even hotter. Chen Jingchou only felt the unbearable heat. His skin seemed to be scorched. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he hurriedly rolled away. He could only smell a charred smell on his body, and his pants had already been burned. The Black Dragon King followed suit, raising his pitchfork like claws and striking at Chen Jingchou. Chen Jingchou pushed his hands to the ground and slid several feet to the right. There was a loud bang beside him as a granite slab shattered into pieces, leaving four deep claw marks. The Black Dragon King's attack missed, and his two claws slashed out repeatedly. Chen Jingchou rolled several times on the ground, unable to get up. A long claw mark was left on the ground as it closed in. Tuoba Yu 'er and Yu Xiaoxue rushed over to save him, forcing the Black Dragon King to take a few steps back. Only then did Chen Jingchou manage to escape. The Black Dragon King lowered his head and spat out several balls of fire. The flames were all light blue in color. Tuoba Yu 'er and the others were too close and were about to be burned. Just as Chen Jingchou was about to flip over and leap up, he cried out in his heart," Not good!" He leaned forward and slid down to the Black Dragon King's neck. The Black Dragon King was shocked, and he raised his claws and slashed down.
Chen Jingchou swung his sword, and with a crack, the Black Dragon King's arms were broken. The cold air condensed in his left palm, and he used all his strength to strike upwards. With a bang, it hit the Black Dragon King's jaw. The Black Dragon King coughed softly, and the flames were instantly extinguished. Chen Jingchou was afraid that he would play tricks, so he added a few more palm strikes. The Black Dragon King could not move. Tuoba Yu 'er and Yu Xiaoxue avoided the flames and attacked from the left and right. They swung their steel blades and iron rings at the Black Dragon King. The Black Dragon King endured the pain and swung his tail, forcing Tuoba Yu 'er and the others back a few steps. Chen Jingchou also retreated. A moment later, the Black Dragon King felt his neck gradually stiffen, and his entire body began to twitch. He could not hold on any longer, so he held on for a while longer. Chen Jingchou was afraid that he would attack again, so he flew forward and stabbed his sword into the Black Dragon King's chest, causing blood to spurt out. The Black Dragon King grunted, his entire body paralyzed and unable to move.
Chen Jingchou took a few steps back and withdrew his weapon. The Black Dragon King was covered in blood and had suffered serious injuries. He looked like he was about to die. He fell to the ground and sighed,""I didn't expect that I, the dignified Black Dragon King…would be defeated by you little brats today!”When the two Di girls saw that they had defeated the Black Dragon King, they immediately cheered and knelt down to thank him,""Thank you, Young Hero Chen! Thank you, Miss Tuoba and Miss Xiaoxue!”
Chen Jingchou stretched out his hand to help him up,"You two sisters don't have to be so polite!"”The two young girls stood up and said," Young heroes, please kill the Black Dragon King immediately and avenge our parents and siblings!"”
Tuoba Yu 'er was also overjoyed. She said,""No problem! I'll immediately kill this bloody fellow for you!”He walked to the Black Dragon King's side and raised the blade, aiming it at the Black Dragon King's neck, ready to chop it down.
The Black Dragon King was on the verge of death. He struggled and said,"" Don't…Don't kill me…" Tuoba Yu 'er's blade stopped in mid-air and shouted,""Black Dragon King, you've done so much evil that you deserve to die. What else do you have to say?”
" Miss…You, you just said that your relatives died in the hands of others…As long as you promise to let me live…I, I can resurrect them!" the Black Dragon King said.”
Tuoba Yu 'er did not believe him and shouted,"Nonsense! He was already dead, so how could he be resurrected?”The Black Dragon King panted a few times and said," I-I'm the Dragon King. Of course, I have a way…They…Their bones are still there, right?"”It was quite difficult to speak. With a thought, Tuoba Yu 'er stopped the blade from slashing down. The Black Dragon King saw that Tuoba Yu 'er's expression had softened a little and hurriedly said,"" In this Dragon Palace, there's an ancient divine artifact, the Kongtong Mirror…Take the seal while I'm still alive…Drop a few drops of dragon blood on it and place it on the forehead of your dead relatives. They'll regain their bodies and come back to life…" After saying that, he coughed several times.
Tuoba Yu 'er put down her sword and said,""Really?" The Black Dragon King used his last bit of strength and said,""My life is already in your hands. What good is there in lying to you now?……”His aura gradually weakened. Tuoba Yu 'er guessed in her heart.
Seeing Tuoba Yu 'er's hesitation, Chen Jingchou hurriedly said,""Sister Yu 'Er, don't listen to him! The Dragon King is playing tricks!" "Sister!" Yu Xiaoxue said. The Queen had instructed them before they left that they could not take off the Mark!”Tuoba Yu 'er's mind was filled with memories of her parents' faces. She felt warmth in her heart as she recalled the happy times when she was young. However, her appearance was the same as before, but her appearance was vague. He didn't listen to anything that was being said. He made up his mind. Regardless of whether he could really save his parents, he had to give it a try. He walked to the side of the seal and reached out to take it.
"No!" Chen Jingchou hurriedly shouted. Sister Yu 'Er, the Queen had specially instructed her!”Tuoba Yu 'er placed her hand on the seal and smiled.""Why are you so nervous? I'm just borrowing the seal for a while. After I use it, I'll immediately put it back in its original place.”
"No!" Chen Jingchou said. Just as he was about to rush forward to stop her, he heard a crack. The Divine Seal was already in Tuoba Yu 'er's hand. At this moment, the cave suddenly rumbled. The earth shook and the mountains shook. He could not stand steadily. Rocks began to fall from the top of the Dragon Palace cave. They hit the rocky ground and crackled. Everyone was bewildered and dodged to the side, not knowing what had happened.
After a long time, everything slowly returned to normal. Everyone was puzzled. Yu Xiaoxue turned her head and looked at the two Di girls. Suddenly, she covered her mouth with both hands and shouted. Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu 'er didn't know what was going on, but they hurriedly turned their heads, feeling extremely shocked. The two Di girls had become wrinkled old women with hunched backs and coughs after a meal.
Chen Jingchou leaped in front of the Black Dragon King and drew his sword. He pointed it at his chest and shouted,""Black Dragon King! What, what is going on?"
Tuoba Yu 'er also leaped forward and shouted,""Black Dragon King, you, how dare you lie!”
"Silly girl…you've been fooled." The Black Dragon King forced a smile.”
Tuoba Yu 'er said angrily," I promised to spare your life. How dare you repay kindness with resentment…" Yu Xiaoxue went forward to persuade him. She picked up the divine seal and wanted to put it back in its original position.
" The enchantment has been broken," the Black Dragon King said coldly." Even if we put it back…it's useless…You saw it for yourself. Those two girls have become white-haired people waiting for death! Haha!" A burst of wild laughter came out from his throat. Tuoba Yu 'er's brows were tightly knitted together, filled with regret. She blamed herself and could not say a word. "The entire Di Human Race has returned to their original appearance!" the Black Dragon King said. You've already made a huge mistake that can never be made up for!……The facts have proven that…you…you are the selfish one!……Haha…hahaha." He fell to the ground with a burst of wild laughter and no longer moved. Yu Xiaoxue went over to push him and shouted," The Black Dragon King…is dead…" Tuoba Yu 'er was at a loss. She stood there with a blank look in her eyes and said in a daze,"" He's dead…He's dead…" He suddenly knelt on the ground, covered his face with his hands, and started crying.
Chen Jingchou sheathed his sword and walked over to comfort him,""Sister Yu 'Er, don't be sad. It's not all your fault!”
Tuoba Yu 'er cried,"I'm sorry, Ah Chou, Xiaoxue…It's all my fault…""Brother Chen…we've caused a huge disaster this time. What should we do?”
This matter had come too suddenly, and Chen Jingchou was at a loss. He paced left and right, unable to make up his mind. The two Di women walked over and kneeled down with tears in their eyes. Their voices were hoarse and old as they said,"" Thank you for avenging our family…" Chen Jingchou quickly helped him up and apologized profusely. " My benefactors," the two Di women said." Her Majesty has a bad temper. She will never forgive you. Don't go back to her place. Run back to the land!"……Hurry up!" "But what if the Queen blames us?" Chen Jingchou hesitated.”"Don't worry, benefactor…If His Majesty asks, we'll just say that…we took the seal!" The two Di women cried. Anyway, we don't have much time left. We might as well give up our lives to repay our benefactors!”
Tuoba Yu 'er wiped away her tears and said," Sisters, don't be like this…Please take me back…It was my fault in the first place. How can I let you be punished for me!?"”
"But, Sister Yu 'er, if you go back…perhaps the Queen will…" Chen Jingchou turned his head and said.
" I've made such a huge mistake," Tuoba Yu 'er said softly." I can only feel at ease if I accept the Queen's punishment. Otherwise, I'll feel guilty forever."”Yu Xiaoxue tried to persuade her, but Tuoba Yu 'er had already made up her mind. She had to go back and apologize to the Queen. Chen Jingchou also made up his mind. He planned to wait until he met the Queen before explaining everything that had happened to her."Sister Yu 'Er, we didn't stop you properly, so you made a mistake... Let's go back and explain to the Queen.”Tuoba Yu 'er nodded. Everyone climbed onto the back of the whale and sailed towards the sea.
Not long after, they arrived at the dock. When they got ashore, they saw that the city was empty. The streets were lifeless. There was not a single pedestrian. Other than the occasional cough, there was no other sound. It was no longer the country of Di people that was filled with laughter when they first arrived. Tuoba Yu 'er felt sad and could not bear to watch anymore.
After walking for a while, they passed through the palace gate and arrived at the main hall. On the stage, a person was leaning on a cane and leaning on a chair. Her face was full of deep wrinkles. If it weren't for her gorgeous clothes and jewelry, one wouldn't have recognized her as the Queen. When the Queen saw the three of them return, she hurriedly called for a few palace maids to help her up. With the help of a pearl cane, she shakily walked down the stage. Chen Jingchou took a few steps forward and cupped his hands.""I'm sorry, Your Majesty…We, we made a huge mistake. I really don't know how to apologize to you! This is all our fault. Please punish us.”
The Queen waved her right hand and pushed the palace maid aside. She said in a hoarse voice,""Hmph, punishment…what's the use of punishing me now?”After saying that, he panted heavily.
Yu Xiaoxue also stepped forward and said,"Your Majesty, it's all our fault. Please punish us!"”" Thank you!" The Queen turned around and sighed." You've avenged our race. I really want to thank you!" But when I see my own people in such a state, can I still say this?”
Tuoba Yu 'er was extremely upset." I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Please don't blame my companion. This is all my fault!" she said.”
"Hmph!" The Queen's face was filled with anger. You make it sound so easy…If you don't blame them, do you blame me?”" No…That's not what I meant…" Tuoba Yu 'er said hurriedly." Because…because the person who took the Divine Seal was not them, nor was it the Black Dragon King. It was me!”The Queen panted and nodded. So you were the one who took off the seal…Very good!”His face was filled with anger.
" Your Majesty," Chen Jingchou explained," the Black Dragon King said that as long as you remove the Divine Seal, you can revive your deceased relatives…"
The Queen took a few steps forward and said angrily,"So, you were fooled!" Did you forget what I said to you before I set off?”
Yu Xiaoxue quickly apologized." I'm sorry... Your Majesty, may I ask... what can we do... to remedy it for you and let everyone return to their original appearance?"”
The Queen turned her head and said,"Hmph! Forget it…Unless the Wandering Sword Immortal who cast the spell for our ancestors seven hundred years ago is still alive and is willing to cast the enchantment on the Kongtong Seal for everyone again…Otherwise, no one can dream of regaining their looks!”
Tuoba Yu 'er lowered her head and said,"Then…may I ask what is the name of that Wandering Sword Immortal? I'll go and look for him…""If we knew who he was, we would have sent people to look for him long ago. Why would we be sulking with you here?”
"I'm sorry…Your Majesty!" Chen Jingchou apologized.”
"Hmph, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…What's the use of repeating it a thousand times, ten thousand times?”
Tuoba Yu 'er felt extremely guilty and did not know what to do. She said softly,""Your Majesty, how can you…forgive us?”
The Queen glanced at Tuoba Yu 'er and turned around. She said coldly,""If you really feel guilty, then destroy your beautiful face. When you are as ugly as us, then come and apologize to me!”Chen Jingchou was shocked and quickly stepped forward.”
Tuoba Yu 'er took a few steps back and turned around, tears streaming down her face. Chen Jingchou and Yu Xiaoxue were about to step forward to explain to the Queen when they suddenly heard a clang behind them. They quickly turned around and saw a dagger covered in blood on the ground. Tuoba Yu 'er covered her face with her hands and knelt on the ground. Blood seeped out from the gaps between her fingers and flowed down her arms slowly, dripping onto the ground like plum blossoms. "Sister Yu 'er!" Chen Jingchou shouted in shock.”He flew over and tore off his clothes, intending to stop Tuoba Yu 'er's bleeding.
Tuoba Yu 'er covered her face with both hands and endured the pain. She choked and said," All of you... don't come over... I... I'm really... sorry everyone... If this... can make everyone... forgive me a little..." She choked on her words and couldn't finish them. Blood mixed with tears continued to flow.
"Yu 'er…You…Why are you doing this?" Chen Jingchou cried like rain.”Yu Xiaoxue also cried,"Don't be like this…Sister Tuoba!"”
When the Queen saw this, she was shocked. She never thought that this girl's personality would be so strong. She could not help but feel guilty. Tuoba Yu 'er slowly sobbed," Ah Chou…Little Xue…It's all my fault…I've implicated everyone!”He barely managed to hold on for a while before his body fell to the side and he fainted on the ground. Chen Jingchou rushed forward and hugged Tuoba Yu 'er in his arms. His chest was dyed red with blood as he cried out,""Yu 'Er, Yu' Er..." The Queen also panicked."Someone, someone, quickly…Call the imperial physician over and treat her with the best medicine, quickly! Hurry!" Not long after, the imperial physician arrived and everyone hurriedly sent Tuoba Yu 'er into a stone room. The stone chamber was rather narrow, so the imperial physician invited everyone out of the door and hurriedly used herbs to stop Tuoba Yu 'er's bleeding.
Everyone was waiting outside the door anxiously. The Queen felt extremely guilty and said,"I'm sorry…I…I was too excited. I'm really sorry, everyone!”Chen Jingchou raised his head and sighed. Everyone was silent. They could only hear the sound of a spring dripping on the stone wall in the distance.
Chen Jingchou was restless. He kept pacing back and forth, peering into the room. Every minute was torture. After about two hours, the imperial physician came out of the stone room and led everyone in. Chen Jingchou leaned over the bed and saw that Tuoba Yu 'er's wound had been bandaged and her breathing had calmed down. She had already fallen asleep. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. The imperial physician was afraid of waking Tuoba Yu 'er up, so he let everyone out of the door.
"Imperial physician, how are her injuries?" Chen Jingchou hurriedly asked.”The imperial physician sighed and slowly shook his head.""Sigh, what is going on with this girl? His face was so badly injured that his bones could be seen. His appearance was ruined! -- Whether or not she could keep her eyes would depend on her luck!”
When Chen Jingchou heard this, his heart was like a thunderclap, and he felt sad. The Queen said,"Imperial physician, you only need to use the best medicine. No matter how much, you must cure her!"”
The imperial physician sighed." Your Majesty, I've already done my best…Her injuries are too serious. I've already used the most precious medicinal herbs I can use, but the rest can only depend on herself."”
Yu Xiaoxue also begged," Old sir…Can you…try harder…" The imperial physician did not speak. He slowly shook his head, turned around, and left. Chen Jingchou's heart turned cold. He walked to Tuoba Yu 'er's bed alone and leaned against the pillow. He looked at Tuoba Yu' er's tightly shut eyes and sobbed softly,""Yu 'Er, you're so silly. Why did you do that?"
After a few days of recuperation, when Tuoba Yu 'er's injuries had stabilized, the Empress called Chen Jingchou and Yu Xiaoxue into the main hall and said apologetically,""I'm so ashamed that I caused Miss Tuoba to become like this!”" Your Majesty, please don't say that," Chen Jingchou said." We've also made a huge mistake!" I've harmed your clan!" "I've been reflecting on myself these few days. I feel that I've really gone too far that day…" The Queen sighed deeply.
"No, Your Majesty, don't blame yourself," said Chen Jingchou. I hesitated and didn't stop Sister Yu 'Er in time. "Not only did this harm you, but it also harmed Sister Yu 'er herself…" The Queen stood up and pondered for a moment before saying,"I'm not going to let you go.""I've thought about it for a long time. The only thing I can do now is to fulfill your wishes and send you to Celestial Mountain Island to reduce the guilt in my heart!”Chen Jingchou thanked him. The Queen immediately commanded the giant sea to head towards the Celestial Mountain Island.
When the giant sea reached the island, Chen Jingchou and Yu Xiaoxue helped Tuoba Yu 'er out of the room. The Queen personally sent him to the back of the giant sea. She pointed to a piece of land in the east and said,""The Celestial Mountain Island is up ahead. The Celestial you are looking for lives on this island…Our Di Tribe can't leave the sea for long, so I have to take my leave. I'm really sorry…Take care!”Chen Jingchou and Yu Xiaoxue bid farewell to the Queen and helped Tuoba Yu 'er onto the beach. He watched as the back of the sea gradually shrank and finally disappeared at the end of the sea. Only the vast waves reflected by the golden setting sun were left. They were filled with emotions.
Just as the three of them were about to move forward, Tuoba Yu 'er suddenly lay on the beach and started crying. Chen Jingchou quickly bent down and comforted her gently,""Yu 'Er, don't be sad." Tuoba Yu 'er cried," Go away. I…I…" Chen Jingchou had no choice but to take half a step back.
Yu Xiaoxue comforted Tuoba Yu 'er and walked to Chen Jingchou's side. She whispered,""Brother Chen, Sister Tuoba's wound near her eyes started to hurt again last night. I changed her dressing, but Sister Tuoba took advantage of the time when I turned around and secretly used a bronze mirror to shine on her face…In the end, she cried all night. Just now, in front of the Queen, her sister had been trying her best to act strong. But now, she could no longer hold on.”
Chen Jingchou's heart ached. He slowly walked to Tuoba Yu 'er's side and said,""Yu 'Er, it's all my fault." Tuoba Yu 'er turned her head and said," Ah Chou, you, go away. I…I don't want you by my side.""Yu 'Er, don't be sad. We're all good companions. Even if we have to go to the ends of the earth, we won't leave you behind.”Tuoba Yu 'er cried even harder and said,""Go away, go away…I don't want you to care!”Chen Jingchou had no choice but to retreat to the side and watch Yu Xiaoxue comfort Tuoba Yu 'er. He couldn't help but raise his head and sigh.
After a while, Tuoba Yu 'er calmed down a little before the few of them hurried on their way. Chen Jingchou took the lead, while Yu Xiaoxue supported Tuoba Yu 'er and followed behind. The three of them moved forward slowly. Chen Jingchou looked at the immortal mountain island and saw the mountains in the distance. The sword peaks stood erect, and the light smoke was faint. Nearby, there was a waterfall and clear water. It was like a landscape splashed with ink. Following the path, they headed up the mountain. The ancient trees beside the road reached the sky, birds flew and apes cried. Chen Jingchou was depressed, thinking that this island was so big, how could he find an immortal?
