After bidding farewell to my parents, I followed the water elementalist back to the Water Ghost Mansion. He held my hand and walked towards Qiao 'er's residence. I don't know if it's because I'm pregnant, but I actually feel sorry for Qiao 'er. If I send her back, will she be beaten by her parents?
When we arrived at Qiao 'er's residence, the water elementalist raised his hand and knocked on the door. There was no movement inside for a long time. We looked at each other and gently pushed open the door.
There was no sign of Qiao 'er in the room. When he looked inside, he found Qiao' er half-lying on the edge of the bed, panting heavily. On the ground, a porcelain cup shattered.
Water elementalists and I realized that things weren't looking good and quickly helped Qiao 'er to the bed.
"I'm afraid it's the same as your previous situation. It was corroded by the Yin Qi at the bottom of the water.”The water xiu placed Qiao 'er's hand under the blanket and said to me with a heavy expression,"Presumably, her entire body must be numb now and she can't feel anything."”
Thinking back to that pain, I started to worry for Qiao 'er.
"What should we do?" I looked at the water elementalist and asked anxiously.
"We can only alleviate her symptoms first and then send her back to shore as soon as possible.”The water elementalist pondered for a moment before slowly saying.
I nodded. Mortals couldn't stay underwater for long, so the only solution was the Water Repelling Pearl. But other than the one in my body, we don't know where else there is.
With Qiao 'er's current situation, the sooner she left the water, the better. Motioning for me to help Qiao 'er up, the water elementalist sat cross-legged behind her. I understand that he wants to use his cultivation to buy time for Qiao 'er so that she can safely come ashore.
Gray beads of sweat gradually formed on Qiao 'er's forehead. Her complexion became rosy once again, and her heavy breathing also calmed down. After a while, Qiao 'er opened her eyes.
She didn't seem to know what was happening to her body. When she saw me and the water elementalist, she was overjoyed as if she had just woken up from a nightmare. With tears in her eyes, Qiao 'er pounced on me. I raised my hand and patted her back to soothe her frightened mood.
Motioning for the water elementalist to leave first, I hugged Qiao 'er until she completely calmed down.
Qiao 'er sat up from my embrace. Her eyes were red and swollen as she pulled my hand. Her lips trembled as she wanted to say something but stopped.
"Good sister, just say what you want to say.”I stroked her hair and smiled at her.
"Sister Diu Diu, where have you been these days? I miss you so much.”My gentleness was like a catalyst that made the young girl cry again.
Hearing her question, I was a little speechless. He couldn't possibly tell her that he was jealous of her and the water elementalist and ran back to his mother's house in a fit of anger, only to be hunted down by his enemies. It wasn't easy for him to save his life and resolve the misunderstanding with the water elementalist before returning. Just thinking about it made him feel embarrassed.
However, looking at the girl's bright eyes, I couldn't lie. I decided to make it short."I just went back to my mother's house."
"Did something happen at home?" Qiao 'er wiped her tears and asked softly.
"This…I didn't." I stammered, thinking, if I don't change the topic, with Qiao 'er's spirit of breaking the pot and asking the end, I will definitely collapse.
"Speaking of which, Qiao 'er, you've been here for so many days, do you miss home?”I stroked her head and asked gently.
Hearing me ask about her family, Qiao 'er's expression became nervous again.
"Sister Diu Diu, are you chasing me away?”She lowered her eyes and asked in disappointment.
Seeing that the little girl was about to cry again, I waved my hand at her in a hurry, trying to find an excuse to avoid it. However, I glanced at the water elementalist outside the window. Thinking about our future, I decided to tell Qiao 'er the truth.
I first used objective factors to analyze it with her. I told her bluntly that if a mortal's body stayed underwater for a long time, there would be bad symptoms. If it was serious, they might lose their lives. I can stay underwater for a long time because I have the unique treasure, the Water Repellent Pearl, to protect me.
She had already fainted once just now. If we hadn't come back in time, I don't know what would have happened to her.
Listening to my serious explanation, Qiao 'er was skeptical. I had no choice but to pat my stomach and take out the Water Repellent Pearl for her to see. Only then did I dispel Qiao 'er's doubts.
However, this kind of persuasion is at most an external factor. If Qiao 'er doesn't care about life and death just to be with a water elementalist, then even if I tell her that she won't be able to live past tonight, it'll be useless.
"My good sister, why do you want to stay underwater? It's dark here, and you're living a monotonous life every day. Don't you feel bored?”I decided to use reason to move her.
Qiao 'er opened her eyes wide and looked at me,"Because Lord Water Xiu is here, I want to be with him."”
If it was in the past, I would definitely be jealous when she said that. However, after a series of events, I became more confident in my relationship with a water elementalist. I also gained a new understanding of love. Love was something that needed to be given to each other. There was no reason for this little girl to be so one-sided without caring about the consequences when it was only her first time meeting a water elementalist and knowing that he already had a wife.
Lord water elementalist, there must be a reason behind this.
I threw a "Yuan Fang face" at the water elementalist who was standing outside the window. The completely unfashionable Lord Water Ghost replied with a serious and cold "what do you mean" confused look.
I snickered. Then he turned his face and patiently asked Qiao 'er,"Why do you like water elementalist daren?”
"My parents betrothed me to lord water elementalist when I was young. Mother said that women should be faithful to their parents, and I have to abide by it.”Qiao 'er looked at me and replied matter-of-factly.
I felt a sense of foolishness coming from her.
"Silly child, are you going to sacrifice your entire life's happiness just because of an exchange between your parents? You also know that I'm now the wife of a water elementalist. There's a real bond between us. If you want to stay, I won't stop you if you don't have any health issues. But think about it, a water elementalist doesn't love you at all. Do you want to see someone who doesn't care about you live for the rest of your life?”I asked sympathetically.
Qiao 'er's eyes widened as she looked at me in confusion. I could see that her heart was wavering.
A moment later, she lowered her head and pinched the corner of her shirt."But my mother said that I must marry lord water elementalist. Even if he beats me or scolds me, I'm still his.”
After hearing this, I felt that I had found the root of my illness. What love? This girl had been tricked by her parents 'feudal ideology of "taking her husband as the key link".
"Do you still think that after you marry me, you should get up and serve me day and night? I sit, you stand, I eat, you pick up the food. My back is sore, so why don't you massage it?"
She looked at me in surprise."My mother said that water elementalist lord is five hundred years old, he must have more than one wife. I was married to be a concubine, to serve my…my…wife!”
I chuckled weakly. It was not enough that this damned thought had harmed the vast number of female compatriots for 5,000 years, but it still dared to harm us, the good girls of the motherland who were born under the red flag and grew up in the sun. He couldn't tolerate it!
"Those thoughts are all wrong! Husband and wife had to respect each other. Besides, do you really want to marry a ghost? Marrying a water ghost was something that could not be tolerated. She would have to endure pressure and danger from all sides, and she would be terrified. Is this life really what you want? Qiao 'er, you have the right to choose.”I continued to guide her, for us and for her.
From the first time I saw Qiao 'er, I deeply felt that this girl should find an honest family and live peacefully for the rest of her life.
Qiao 'er raised her head, her eyes flickering with light. Clearly, she was looking forward to the happiness that I was talking about. However, there was also a trace of worry in this longing.
Guessing Qiao 'er's worry, I comforted her,"You don't have to worry about your parents. They're about to lose your brother.”
At this moment, the door was pushed open and a water elementalist walked in.#
