{A suffocating darkness descends upon the world, accompanied by sinister murmurs that echo through the air. In the midst of the darkness, a figure Stumbles and falters, overwhelmed by fear, desperately attempting to escape. }
{After an exhausting and seemingly endless run, the figure, now close to utter exhaustion, catches sight of a glimmer ahead. With unsteady movements and a last surge of strength, the figure races towards the perceived hope}
{The beckoning light that leads her onward seems within reach, yet so far, gradually dimming before her eyes}
Yue Jian
Princess, wake up, it's almost time, it's time for your departure.
startled awake, she opens her eyes and fixates on the sheer white canopy above. Her icy blue eyes, like precious gems, are filled with fear. After a while, she blinks, shedding the fear in her eyes, but a sense of bewilderment linger in her gaze.
Rising slowly from the bed, she sluggishly scans her surroundings, a blend of recognition and unfamiliarity in her eyes. The maid has never seen her like this before, and a hint of concern appears in her eyes.
Yue Jian
Princess, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling well, why not reschedule your visit to the mortal realm for another day?
The young lady, addressed as a prince, finally realizes someone is standing beside her. She walks over and sits down, raising her hand to massage her still somewhat disoriented head.
Ao Bingxin
What mortal realm?
Yue Jian
It's about your journey to the mortal realm to accumulate merits. His Majesty, the Dragon King, advised and instructed you thoroughly before attending the banquet at Yaochi yesterday. Do you remember it, princess.
Yue Jian
oh no, I told you not to drink that "worry-free wine" brought by the old turtle yesterday. Who knows what he used to brew it. Last time, the Red Carp drank his wine , and it took a whole five hundred years to regain his memory! I... I'm going to find him and demand an explanation!
The anxious maid continues to ramble, recounting the whole story, while the Dragon Princess sitting beside her finaly clears her cluttered mind and remember everything.
Ao Bingxin
Hold on, Yue Jian, I remember now. What time is it now.
Yue Jian
You only have fifteen minutes left before your departure at noon.
Yue Jian
Princess, why don't we abandon the plan? I think it's wiser for you to stay and cultivate here in the Dragon Palace. You are beloved and cherished, and it would be too arduous for you to endure the challenges of the mortal realm.
Encounter:2
{Yue Jian's worries were evident, and even if the princess suggested that Yue Jian go to the mortal realm in her place, Yue Jian would nod without hesitation. }
{Although the reason behind the North Sea Dragon King's decision to require all adult dragons of the North Sea to undergo cultivation in the mortal realm remains unknown, it has been strictly followed without any defiance for millennia. As the daughter of the Dragon King, she is obliged to follow this tradition.}
Ao Bingxin
My old-fashioned father has always been uncompromising. He believes that as members of the Dragon Clan, we should assist the humans. However, human lives are fleeting, lasting only a few decades, and their destinies are predetermined. Some must endure the seven sufferings, while others may have a more promising journey until their destined time arrives. These are the challenges that humans must face, and it is not our place to intervene.
Ao Bingxin
Ah, forget it. It's just cultivation, after all. Considering the numerous hardships people face I think I'll be able to accumulate these merits in no time.
Ao Bingxin
And as for you, just stay right here and patiently await my return. Once I'm back, I'll take you to Penglai, the place you've been yearning to visit. The fish there are known to enhance one's spiritual power, and I'll catch a few extra for you. It will help you achieve immortality sooner.
{The actual form of Yue Jian is that of a jellyfish. Their lifespan is extremely short, often dying before they can even absorb the world's spiritual energy. Yue Jian is no exception. }
{She refuses to accept it. From the moment she gained consciousness, her aspiration has been to cultivate and attain immortality. Despite her daily efforts, the results were disappointing. Weak and powerless, she cowered in a corner of the coral reef, watching her life fade away. Reality seemed to cruelly mock her dream}
{Fate is always unfair, yet sometimes it brings surprises. In the final moments of her life, she encountered the Seventh Princess of the North Sea. The princess bestowed upon her the miracle of survival, and she has cherished that dream that seemed so out of reach. }
{The years in the mortal realm are but a fleeting moment for them. This cultivation journey will soon end, but Yue Jian watches tearfully as she gazes at the princess who grew up with her. Her heart is still filled with overwhelming reluctance to part ways}
Ao Bingxin
Okay, enough crying. Where did I put my clothes?
Yue Jian
I'll go fetch them now.
{Yue Jian opens the wardrobe and retrieves a white dress and the Bag of Merits prepared in advance. She also grabs the mermaid vil that the Dragon king specially brought the day before he left}
The precious, lightweight mermaid veil offers protection against lethal attacks and blends in perfectly with clothing.
Yue Jian
The pearls in the bag sparkle white when a good deed is done, and gold when enough merits are accumulated.
Ao Bingxin
Ok, ok, I understand, how many times have you told me about it already? No need for the mermaid's veil. it's just a journey to the mortal realm.
Without waiting for Yue Jian to say anything, So Bingxin transdeforms into a streak of light and departs. Yue Jian stands there, holding the mermaid's veil as the princess already disappears into the distance.
Yue Jian
Princess, don't use spiritual energy in the mortal realm!
Encounter:3
Yue Jian
*she calls out loud to her as she looks at the spot where Ao Bingxin has disappeared, eyebrows furrowed unsure if she heard her*
Yue Jian
(But the Dragon king has cast a spell on the princess which will automatically seal off much of her spiritual power once she's in the human world. Using a little shouldn't be a problem...
Completely unaware of all this, So Bingxin swims freely in the depth of the blue sea, where magnificent coral reefs stretch out before her, radiating colorful reflection that guide her
Schools of beautiful fish play among the coral, some even daring to graze Ao Bingxi shoulder
If she didn't have a mission, she would have liked to linger and play with them
Ao Bingxin strokes the small goldfish that approach her urging her to join her companions,. However, it seems reluctant to leave, swimming energetically and always staying close to Ao Bingxin
Ao Bingxin
Do you have something to say to me?
Ao Bingxin stops and notice that the little goldfish behavior as if it has an urgent message to deliver. Unfortunately, it cannot express itself due to its lack of cultivation. There's only one way to find out.
Ao Bingxin's fingertips light up with a blue glow which she places delicately on the little goldfish head,. Within the spiritual consciousness of the little goldfish, Ao Bingxin catches sight of a blurry white figure rescuing it from being trapped in the crevices of the reef.
And then time passes and when the white figure reappear, it is swept away by the waves struggling in the water until exhausted. So Bingxin departs from Little goldfish spiritual
Ao Bingxin
Your savior will be safe. You can go home with peace of mind.
Seeing small goldfish swimming away, Ao Bingxin heads towards the place where the man dressed in white fell into the sea, which happens to be precisely her destination:the Northern Sea Town
Ao Bingxin is thrilled. She confidently stated that accumulating merit is a breeze as it has presented itself at her doorstep
As she sees the man in white sinking slowly into the depths of the sea, Ao Bingxin approach and grab hold of him. She casts a water-repelling spell to create a barrier between him and the sea water, and infuses him with some spiritual energy.It is only after he regains his pulse that she can leisurely observe the appearance of the person before her.
