The Legend Of The Dragon Princess
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!
