Quick Travel: The Little White Fox Pays Repayment

63-67. The Mermaid Princess

Chapter 63: The Mermaid Princess (1)

Yue Yi watched the wisp of soul return to the soul-casting bottle again. The flawless white jade soul-casting bottle actually had a faint red light at this moment.
The God smiled and looked at Yue Yi with pity, saying softly: "Yue Yi, you did a good job."
Yue Yi was a little dazed. She recalled all kinds of plots and scenes in her mind, which were very familiar and a little strange.
She felt a little tired, and the God did not embarrass her and advised: "Maybe you need to rest."
Yue Yi forced a smile: "I'll go for a walk and come back soon." She wandered aimlessly in the Heavenly Palace, watching people coming and going, which was very lively. Yue Yi stopped a maid and asked softly: "What happened in the Heavenly Palace?"
"Are you new here? The fifth prince is going to get married, don't you know?" The maid looked Yue Yi up and down, and said with some disdain, "Where did you come from? Is the Heavenly Palace a place where you can walk around?"
Yue Yi was indeed not from the Heavenly Palace. She was just a little white fox from the fox clan who lived alone. She stepped back and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I, I just came here to look for someone..."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Fengcheng... the Seventh Prince."
The maid looked at Yueyi in surprise: "Who are you? The Seventh Prince has been away from the Heavenly Palace for a long time."
Yueyi explained awkwardly: "I, I know, I just want to see where the Seventh Prince lived. He saved me before. I am very grateful to him." The
Seventh Prince is young and promising, and the maid has seen many girls come here to admire his reputation, so it's not surprising. Moreover, now that the Seventh Prince is not here, nothing will happen if she goes: "You go straight along this road, if you see a crabapple tree, turn left, and go through the long corridor to get there."
Yueyi thanked and walked forward. She was thinking about Fengcheng in her heart, and she didn't even care about who the Fifth Prince was going to marry. Because of the Fifth Prince's wedding, the Heavenly Palace was rarely lively, but because of this, no one noticed Yueyi who was alone. Yueyi couldn't help but think of Fengcheng's former fiancée. His fiancée Luying was a famous beauty in the heaven. Yueyi had met her once. She was very beautiful and cheerful, and she was a perfect match for Fengcheng.
She unknowingly came to Chonghui Palace where Fengcheng lived. It was deserted, with only a few maids and servants cleaning the quiet courtyard. Pengshan, Fengcheng's personal servant, saw Yueyi and shouted, "Who is outside the door?"
Yueyi cleared her throat and said softly, "I am Hua Yueyi, Hua Yueyi of the fox clan."
Pengshan approached, looked Yueyi up and down, and then asked, "Are you okay?"
Yueyi was a little embarrassed. This was her first time in Chonghui Palace. In fact, she didn't know why she came here. Maybe it was because she had experienced so many intimate things with him in the human world, she had the illusion that Fengcheng liked her. But when Pengshan asked, she woke up from a dream, turned around and ran away in a panic.
Qingniao came late. She was Fengcheng's most trusted maid and Pengshan's wife. She looked at Yue Yi's hurriedly leaving back and said to Peng Shan: "Who is that? Did she go to the wrong place to attend the Fifth Prince's wedding?"
Peng Shan thought for a moment and said: "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the person that our Seventh Prince has been thinking about."
"Hua Yueyi from the fox clan?"
Pengshan nodded: "That's the name."
Bluebird hurriedly asked: "Then why did you let her go?"
Pengshan spread out his hands: "I just remembered it too."
Bluebird sighed and said: "Everyone in Heaven knows that Miss Hua volunteered to go down to the mortal world to win back our Seventh Prince. I guess she should have just returned from the mortal world. I don't know how our prince is doing in the mortal world. You should have kept her just now. It is reasonable for us to thank Miss Hua on behalf of the prince."
Pengshan had a wooden face and was not very worried: "I guess the Seventh Prince should be doing well. With Miss Hua accompanying him, why would the prince be unhappy? He used to look forward to Miss Hua coming to see him all day long, and now his wish has come true."
Bluebird also smiled secretly: "The prince can be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing. I was cleaning up the prince's study just now, and accidentally saw the portrait of Miss Hua that he treasured. It was lifelike and showed deep love."
Pengshan clicked his tongue twice, said no more, turned around and continued to work on the things at hand.
Yue Yi naturally didn't hear what the two of them said. She sat slumped in the corridor and looked into the distance. If all this ended, would the Seventh Prince still be with Miss Luying? Would he remember her a little? Or was it just a calamity in the mortal world for him?
She felt that she was insane. How could the high and mighty Seventh Prince favor an orphan girl from the fox clan? In the end, she just sighed, pounded her sore legs, and went to the God again to complete her duties.
This time, Yue Yi did not completely lose her memory. She still remembered that she was Hua Yueyi from the fox clan, and she came to repay the Seventh Prince's kindness and bring his soul back to heaven. But she had no impression of the stories in the past.
She didn't expect that this time, she would actually become a mermaid. She was afraid of water since she was a child, but now she can move freely in the sea. Yue Yi was surprised and excited. She couldn't help but swim happily in the water. When the maid came to find her, she only saw their little princess panting and lying on the reef.
The maid swam closer and said, "Princess, you are easy to find Muxia. This place is close to the land. It is too dangerous for you to
stay here!" Yueyi's face was flushed, and her eyes were bright. She put one hand on her chest and panted for a few times, then smiled and said, "It's okay. I just suddenly want to swim in the water for a while."
Muxia still urged her, "Princess, you should go back with me quickly. If the king and the queen know about it, I will be in trouble." Yueyi
nodded, left the reef and swam into the deep sea with Muxia.
After crossing the inky black water and swimming downstream for a distance, you can see that the water that was originally pitch-black suddenly has a moist luster, and your vision is suddenly clear. In front of you is a magnificent building complex, pavilions and towers, beautiful and magnificent. I think this is the palace in the deep sea.
And she is the ninth princess of the deep sea.
As the youngest princess, Yueyi was loved by her parents and siblings. In addition, Yueyi was well-behaved and obedient, and she was beautiful. The king and queen watched their daughter grow up and began to consider their youngest daughter's marriage.
Yueyi didn't know about it yet. She returned to her Yu'an Palace. Muxia served her and took a rest. Then she heard that the fifth princess, who was closest to her, came to find her and said that she wanted to take her to see some good things. Yueyi didn't refuse and was taken by the fifth princess to the alchemy room, where the witch Chen Xing was. However, Chen Xing had to go out today for something. Although Chen Xing was a witch, she was about the same age as them and had a straightforward personality. They usually got along well with each other.
The Fifth Princess took Yue Yi and carefully closed the door, and said mysteriously: "The good stuff I told you about is right here. Come and have a look."
Yue Yi also lowered her voice and asked her curiously: "What is it? Sister Chen Xing will be back later."
"Oh, just take a look." The Fifth Princess said nothing more and came to the table behind the alchemy furnace. She saw a cloth covering the middle. The Fifth Princess quickly opened it and found a crystal ball the size of a fist standing there.
Yue Yi asked in surprise: "What is this?"
"You can see things outside." The fifth princess was extremely excited. She thought about the scene she secretly saw here last time. She raised her hand and gently turned it over the crystal ball a few times. Then she silently said a few words and saw a hazy scene in the crystal ball!
Yue Yi was surprised: "What's in there..."
"It's on land!" The fifth princess pointed to the increasingly clear scene of the continent and said excitedly to Yue Yi, "Look, those are all humans on land, there are so many people..."
Yue Yi was also fascinated by it. She rarely went to such a lively place. She saw people coming and going in the bustling market. She could see men and women shuttling back and forth in the market, which was very lively.
"I really want to go to land to see it." The fifth princess said longingly, "Look, what is that girl holding in her hand? I want it too."
Yue Yi took a closer look and saw a girl about the same age as them. She was buying a bowl of food from a hawker. There was a white round thing in it, and then she sat aside to taste it. "I don't know either." The girl ate very fragrantly, and Yue Yi felt hungry.
The two secretly watched for a long time, and finally left reluctantly. The fifth princess looked at her fish tail and said sadly: "I really want to go to the land to have a look, but how can our tails become human legs?"
Yue Yi supported her chin with both hands and gave her advice: "I don't know either. Otherwise, you can ask Sister Chen Xing?"
"Do you want to go?" The fifth princess decided to pull Yue Yi into the water.
Yue Yi thought about it. She didn't know who Feng Cheng was now. If he was on land, she would definitely have to find a way to find him on land. But she still didn't know. "I haven't thought about it yet..." Yue Yi pursed her lips, a little confused. For
a period of time afterwards, Yue Yi searched everywhere in the deep sea for the location of Feng Cheng's soul, but she never found anything. She was also a little tired. One night, while Mu Xia and other servants were not paying attention, she sneaked out again, crossed the surging water, and came to the reef where she lived on the first day she came here.
Mermaids cannot live without water, but they can barely survive for a few hours in an environment without water. She lay on the reef, looking up at the black night sky like ink. It was so quiet, as if she was the only one left in the world. She half-closed her eyes, put her long hair beside her ears, and breathed in the slightly damp smell of sea water, until...
a faint rustling sound came from not far away. Yue Yi turned around suddenly and saw a figure staggering a few steps and falling on the beach. At first, he was still groaning in pain, but now there was no sound. Yue Yi's heart moved, and she hurried to his side. In the moonlight, she saw a familiar face.
It was him, the Seventh Prince.
Although this face was somewhat different from his original appearance in heaven, Yue Yi knew that this must be another incarnation of his soul left in the world. She was happy in her heart, but when she saw the blood constantly oozing out of his body, she began to panic. He was obviously seriously injured and unconscious. Yue Yi was anxious, and heard the sound of tiny footsteps coming from a distance. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to drag the man into the water.
The people on the shore chased here, and only saw blood on the ground and a faint fishy smell in the water.
"He was so badly injured that he probably fell into the sea and drowned."
"The boss said that if he is alive, he must be found alive. If he is dead, he must be found dead. What can we do?"
"We just can't find him. What can we do? Besides, the water is turbulent. If we go down to find him now, we will get into trouble. Anyway, I won't go. You can go if you want."
Yue Yi hugged the man and hid in the waters behind the reefs. The man's face was getting paler and paler. Yue Yi knew that his wounds would definitely get worse after being soaked in sea water. She could only pray that those people would leave quickly.
After a long time, who knew how long it was, those people seemed to have reached an agreement not to go into the water, and then turned and left. Yue Yi breathed a sigh of relief and once again tried her best to push the man back to the shore.
She watched his breath getting weaker and weaker, and in desperation, she had to dive into the water and sing softly. Soon, she saw Muxia coming towards her. She said anxiously, "Princess, why are you here again?"
Yueyi didn't say anything else, but pointed to the shore and said, "Muxia, help me take him to my palace." "
Who?" Muxia was stunned.
Yue Yi was too late to explain. She hugged the man and turned to Mu Xia and said, "Please, help me. I can't do it alone."
Mu Xia was shocked when she heard the noble Ninth Princess begging. She looked at the pale land man and exclaimed, "Princess, no, if the king knows..."
Yue Yi was also worried and frowned. Although Mu Xia didn't like humans on land, she couldn't bear to see her princess sad, so she came up with an idea: "I know that the wizard Shen Xing has a residence not far away. Why don't we go there secretly?"
"But we don't have the key."
Mu Xia smiled and said, "It's okay. I know there is a big window at the back. Let's go in from there. I have secretly gone there to play before. Don't worry, princess." Yue Yi
heard it and swam there with Mu Xia.
Mu Xia and Yue Yi brought the man to Shen Xing's residence soon. Shen Xing was at home everywhere and had a place to live everywhere. This was probably a place for her to rest temporarily when she was tired of walking. Chen Xing is not a mermaid, and even she herself can't tell whether she is a human or a fish. So the upper part of her residence is suspended on the shore, and the lower part is immersed in the water. Yue Yi swam in from the window, put the man on the couch with great effort, and hid in the empty water in front of the couch.
Muxia wiped the sweat from her head and asked, "Princess, what should we do next?"
Yue Yi thought for a while and looked back at her and said, "Go back to the palace and get my Lotus Fragrance Snow Ginseng Pills."
"Princess, the medicine is very precious, you bring it to save him..."
"He is very important to me, please go and get it, okay? I'll help him take a look at his wound here..."
Muxia looked at the worried look of her own princess, and her heart sank suddenly. But what can she do? The princess has an order, and she should obey it. After she left, Yue Yi undressed the man. There were more than twenty wounds of varying sizes on his body. Yue Yi couldn't help wondering who was the one who did this. She felt distressed and scared, and took out a white cloth to bandage the man's wound. She touched the man's forehead with her backhand, and it was burning hot. As a mermaid, Yue Yi had a lower body temperature, so she had to lower her head to his forehead and murmured, "Sir, don't be in trouble..."
