Late at night…
Once again regaining consciousness in his original body, Yu Zi Yu felt a trace of fatigue.
Engaging in battle while remotely controlling the Dark Willow Tree for the first time, facing off against an Emperor of the World and several Sovereigns, proved to be an overwhelming ordeal for Yu Zi Yu.
[Fortunately, I managed to hold up. More importantly…]
“The entire deep sea would be thrown into chaos because of this, right?” Muttering to himself, Yu Zi Yu looked towards the direction of the ocean with a hint of amusement.
The sudden disappearance of the Mermaid Queen, and the sudden clash of countless Sea Beasts in one place, with the deep sea dyed red for kilometers, was enough to shake a good half of the ocean.
Unfortunately, since Yu Zi Yu chose not to declare, no one would be any the wiser. And Yu Zi Yu considered it a sort of petty revenge.
Satisfied with tonight’s gains, a smile played upon Yu Zi Yu’s lips.
At this moment, Yu Zi Yu shifted his gaze, looking at a gray murky space.
Inside the space, dark and dense clouds, seemingly trying to crush the entire world, continuously gathered, with bolts of lightning tearing through the sky, one after another.
In a corner of this Pocket of Lightning, a disheveled young girl, bleeding from the corner of her mouth, lay on the ground, her dim eyes occasionally looking towards the sky, filled with confusion and doubt.
She could not understand. She was finding it really hard to understand when the seas gave birth to a Tier-4. Adding more to her dread, the Tier-4 Transcendent was hiding in the shadows all this while.
*Crackle…* Suddenly, another lightning bolt tore through the space, illuminating the pale face of this petite figure.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that her golden fishtail was mutilated and bleeding from multiple places. Clearly, she, who was already seriously injured, was not faring well in the Pocket of Lightning.
However, at this moment, Yu Zi Yu noticed quite a few crystal-like droplets on the ground, shining brightly.
“What’s this?” Squinting his eyes, Yu ZI Yu’s Cosmic Root silently brought out these crystal-like droplets from the Pocket of Lightning.
At this moment, looking at the four droplets of crystal brought out by the Cosmic Root, Yu Zi Yu finally discovered them to be in the shape of a teardrop, and happened to be faintly emanating an indescribable energy.
“Mermaid’s Tears…” A mutter escaped Yu Zi Yu’s lips as the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
The Mermaid’s Tears were a very precious treasure. An invaluable treasure just like his Life Essence, something one could only happen upon by chance.
However, now that he was too powerful, he could produce Life Essence in abundance, but not Elsa.
Firstly, it was because Elsa’s strength was lacking. And secondly, because Mermaid’s Tears were actual tears, tears that only formed when a Mermaid’s emotions fluctuated greatly and her Soul became somewhat unstable.
It would be more accurate to call them a materialization of a Mermaid’s Soul. This indirectly proved how emotionally devastated Elsa was at the moment.
“Hehe…” Chuckling, Yu Zi Yu also collected these four drops of Mermaid’s Tears.
If used properly, such treasures could prove to be very useful.
Not to mention other things, just their ability to dispel curses and reduce negative effects was enough to make Yu Zi Yu consider them valuable. For instance, the Petrification of the Snake Queen, the Left Guardian of Misty Mountains, could not be undone by ordinary means. However, a drop of Mermaid’s Tears would be different. And this was the extraordinary aspect of Mermaid’s Tears.
…
After taking a brief glance at the situation Elsa was in, Yu Zi Yu turned his attention to the current Sea Beast King, the Boa-like Sea Beast.
Its state, on the other hand, was completely opposite.
After all, it was in the Pocket of Vitality. The rich vitality here even brought a hint of enjoyment on the Sea Beast King’s face.
More importantly, whether it was an illusion or not, Yu Zi Yu noticed that after merging with the Brand of King, this Boa-like Sea Beast’s elongated eyes seemed to sparkle with a hint of intelligence, as if it had gained some wisdom.
[For now, stay here. I’ll figure out a way to subdue you and then release you,] muttering in his mind, Yu Zi Yu no longer paid attention to the current Sea Beast King.
*Haaa…* Yu Zi Yu took a long, deep breath and pulled his gaze back to reality.
Looking up, he found Ling Er still sitting on a branch at the canopy, swinging her thin and slender feet.
Next to her, with crimson long hair and a Crimson Flood Dragon coiling around her waist, Thorns was also leisurely sitting on the treetop.
The two of them giggled every now and then, their laughter as pleasant as the chimes of silver bells.
“Aren’t you going back?” Yu Zi Yu asked in surprise, looking at Ling Er. He thought that she would have returned by now.
“You said the Third Spiritual Energy Tide was going to arrive in twenty days, didn’t you? The world is going to be in chaos, so I might as well stay here.”
Yu Zi Yu’s corners of lips couldn’t help but twitch slightly upon hearing this, and he asked, puzzled, “You’re not in Flame City, aren’t you afraid that…”
However, before Yu Zi Yu could finish his sentence, Ling Er interrupted him, “It’s okay. I’ve already entrusted the rights of Flame City and other affiliated forces to a few trusted subordinates. Even if I disappear for 20-30 days, or even half a year, it wouldn’t matter.”
“En…” Yu Zi Yu was momentarily stunned, and a bit helpless.
She was like him in many ways; while others fought for power with all their might, she, on the other hand, was willing to delegate power and wished for a carefree life.
“You…” Yu Zi Yu couldn’t help but sigh helplessly, but he didn’t voice any opinion. Instead, he turned his gaze to Thorns beside her and ordered, “Since Ling Er wants to stay, find her a good place to settle down in temporarily. By the way, when you have time, you can take Ling Er around.”
Thorns promptly accepted with a smile, “But of course.”
With that, Thorns grabbed Ling Er’s hand and stated, “Eldest Sister, you haven’t been back for so long. You probably don’t know that many mysterious places have appeared in the Misty Mountains. Let me take you to see them.”
Saying so, Thorns led Ling Er towards several mysterious places in the Misty Mountains. And those places were nothing more than the Hundred Flowers Valley, the Forest of Death…
Of course, according to Thorns’ wicked taste, they might also go to see the pool of blood in the Abyssal Prison.
Yu Zi Yu shook his head in helplessness. He did not micro-manage such matters. As far as he was concerned, preparation for the arrival of the Third Spiritual Energy Tide was the most important task at hand.
