Chapter 1340 - 400: Revealing Divine Skills Again
The sound of the waves was incessant, and when Luo Qixue was killed, sinking to the bottom of the sea, the illusion realm, like mist or dream, vanished.
Luo Qianche could no longer suppress herself, she screamed hysterically.
"No, it’s fake, it’s all fake. My father could not be that kind of person; it was all an illusion. Guangzi, what have you done?"
Despite the dream being so real, so real that Luo Qianche’s heart already knew it all had happened, she still refused to admit it verbally.
For so long, the mother whom she thought deeply loved her father, had loved someone else.
She couldn’t believe that the father she always regarded as proud was actually a despicable person.
Others who saw the dream included Luo Qixue’s soul and the Merfolk King. Only now did he realize that Qixue didn’t die in childbirth; she was murdered alive by Luo Qian.
Anger seemed to explode from his chest, yet the Merfolk King knew it was too late for revenge, even if he wanted it.
His body was undergoing changes.
Without the Merfolk Elixir, he had lost his divine powers and could no longer maintain his human form.
Scales were growing inversely; he was reverting to his original form, and soon he would become a fish as ordinary as any in the Moli Sea.
"Luo Qianche, it’s unfortunate, but all of this is true. These are the real events that happened over twenty years ago to the Merfolk King, Luo Qixue, and Luo Qian. As for why these dreams appeared, it’s because I compiled the memories of the three of them over the past twenty years into a dream for you to see."
Guangzi looked regretfully at the unfolding transformation of the Merfolk King.
Despite losing his divine power, the Merfolk King deserved respect.
For the one he loved, he waited long and hard, but the outcome for him was too melancholic.
Guangzi actually had the ability to weave dreams?
"Mo Ze, why are you so foolish, why did you hand over the Merfolk Elixir? You have already done so much for us mother and daughter."
Luo Qixue’s soul wept like rain; her soul was also slowly dissipating.
Luo Qianche’s strike with condensed Merfolk Elixir power dealt a heavy blow to Luo Qixue’s soul.
"Qixue, it’s my fault. If only I hadn’t left back then, if only I hadn’t insisted on reclaiming power, if only I had returned a year earlier, none of this would have happened."
The Merfolk King smiled, gazing at Luo Qixue, the person he had long yearned for and finally saw.
But why did he see her crying?
On first sight of her, he had silently vowed never to let this girl with a radiant smile shed a single tear.
Sadly, he failed.
"You are not at fault. I’m the one who misjudged and wrongly trusted Luo Qian. He exploited you..."
Luo Qixue tried to embrace the Merfolk King, but her soul couldn’t touch him.
Soon, the Merfolk King completely transformed into fish form.
A beautiful blue-green fish flapped its fins and jumped into the seawater.
"Mo Ze, don’t worry, I will soon join you."
Luo Qixue’s soul was teetering, as if about to scatter at any moment.
Everything around was dead silent; everyone who witnessed the scene was silent.
Luo Qianche stood beside, tears streaming down her face.
She was wrong; she caused her mother and the Merfolk King to face a lifetime of being unable to become human, one soon to have her soul scattered.
"Save her, I beg you, save my mother."
Luo Qianche pleaded with everyone, first grabbing on to Guangzi.
"You must have a way, right? You can enter their dreams; you must be able to prevent my mother’s soul from dissipating, right?"
Guangzi shook his head.
He was a god, with the power to hypnotize and enter dreams, but even a god had no way to restore a severely damaged soul.
Luo Qianche dejectedly let go and looked to Ye Lingyue.
"Ye Lingyue, you must have a way, right? You’re so smart, you can see through everything. Save my mother, and I can beg my father to make you the Huangquan City Lord."
Ye Lingyue remained silent.
"Not enough? Then I can also give the Merfolk Elixir back to you. Return it to the Merfolk King, save my mother, I have only one mother, I owe her."
Luo Qianche cried bitterly, her body sliding down powerlessly.
"I can attempt to save her, but I can’t guarantee success. After all, your mother has been a wandering soul for too long, and she has just suffered severe damage. As for the Merfolk Elixir, it was given to you by the Merfolk King; once given, no one can forcibly take it away. What you need to do is protect the vast people of Moli Sea and Shui City on his behalf."
Ye Lingyue exhaled deeply.
Her words brought new hope to Luo Qianche’s previously despairing eyes.
Could Sister repair the soul?
Ye Lingyue’s act surprised Guangzi.
From the time he learned Ye Lingyue could eliminate evil qi, Guangzi guessed that she had exceptional abilities, but never imagined Sister’s abilities could counter the heavens and repair souls.
Having decided to repair Luo Qixue’s soul, Ye Lingyue asked everyone to help drive away the water beasts from the surrounding sea area.
Only her and Luo Qixue’s soul remained in that sea area.
"Lady Qixue, before I attempt to repair your soul, I must warn you that this restoration is extremely risky; even the slightest mishap could cause immediate disintegration of your soul."
Ye Lingyue solemnly warned Luo Qixue.
"Miss Ye, I have died once already. To meet Mo Ze again in this life and resolve our misunderstanding from years ago, for me, even in death, my soul can rest in peace. I must also thank you on behalf of the thousands of townsfolk in Yuliao Town."
Luo Qixue bowed gracefully to Ye Lingyue.
"Lady Qixue, can your soul really rest? I thought we were supposed to be alike."
Ye Lingyue’s gaze burned as she looked at Luo Qixue.
"Miss Ye truly understands me."
Luo Qixue suddenly laughed, her still beautiful face stirring slightly.
"I truly cannot rest, that beast Luo Qian harmed me unto death, then enslaved the Merfolk King for years in my name, and more grievously, his indulgence led my only daughter to become what she is today. How can I, Luo Qixue, rest?"
She realized that she and Ye Lingyue were indeed alike, dispensing no pretense before comrades.
"Yes, I think the same as you. Since this is the case, let us begin. Life and death hang by a thread; let’s see if I can use the Qian Cauldron to repair your soul."
Ye Lingyue spoke, then opened her right palm.
A small black cauldron floated up from her palm.
Is that...?
Luo Qixue’s eyes flashed with a strange light upon seeing the Qian Cauldron.
