#569 - Mysterious song, mermaid

Another four months flashed by.

The sky was azure blue, and on a white jade Dharma boat, Qin Changqing sat at the bow, Lingxiao Fairy lay in his arms, her eyes gentle, occasionally feeding him fine wine, a truly carefree and happy couple.

As time passed, Lingxiao Fairy could increasingly feel the approach of her ascension, that ethereal feeling growing stronger and stronger.

In recent months, Qin Changqing had rarely sought out others, instead wholeheartedly accompanying Lingxiao Fairy, leaving her with the most beautiful memories in her final moments.

The two walked hand in hand through every corner of the cultivation world, bathing together in ninth-order spiritual lakes, boating in the most terrifying lava, gazing at the dazzling starry sky and brilliant spiritual light in the coldest lands…

With their current strength and abilities, there was nowhere in the lower realm they couldn't go.

From the south to the north, to the ends of the earth, everywhere was left with their most beautiful figures and memories. Now, they had come to the largest ocean in the cultivation world, a mysterious place that the Evergreen Alliance had yet to set foot in.

"Changqing, this is so nice…"

Lingxiao Fairy lay in Qin Changqing's arms, murmuring, her eyes dazed: "If only it could always be like this…"

But she knew in her heart that this was impossible.

The Dao of Heaven cannot be defied, and some things cannot be resisted by human power, even for those who are strong enough to become immortals.

For example, ascension!

Qin Changqing's eyes were gentle as he looked down at the receding waves, stroking Lingxiao Fairy's smooth hair, and said with a smile: "For us cultivators, time doesn't mean much. Decades pass in the blink of an eye. Ascend in peace, and it won't be long before I come to find you!"

Lingxiao Fairy gently hummed in agreement, no longer speaking, quietly burying herself in Qin Changqing's chest, listening to the familiar heartbeat, as if to engrave this moment deep in her soul.

Suddenly, both of their brows furrowed slightly, their expressions stunned.

From somewhere, a melodious and intoxicating song suddenly came, mesmerizing to the ear, captivating the soul, even able to ripple through the soul.

"What's that sound?"

Lingxiao Fairy sat up and looked down.

Looking down from the sky, above the vast expanse of the sea, there were several scattered islands, dotted like chess pieces, and the song came from one of these islands.

The two opened their Dharma eyes and discovered that on the beach at the edge of the island, a stunningly beautiful girl, soaked to the bone, was singing at the top of her lungs. Her head of azure blue hair was adorned with water droplets, reflecting a rainbow halo under the sunlight, setting off her swan-like, soft, white neck, a truly amazing sight.

A look of surprise also flashed across Lingxiao Fairy's face: "I heard seniors mention in the early years that there was a fish-human race in the sea. It's actually true!"

"You know about it?"

Qin Changqing looked down at her.

Lingxiao Fairy nodded: "At that time, my cultivation was not high, and my master had not yet ascended. He once told me that when he was traveling around, he had seen a strange race in the sea, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a fish, living in the bottom of the sea all year round, not fighting with the world. I originally thought it was a story made up by my master to make me happy, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

An interested look appeared in Qin Changqing's eyes. Just as he was about to go down to take a look, suddenly, an unexpected change occurred.

Whether it was attracted by the singing or not, the originally calm sea suddenly stirred up huge waves.

Boom!

At the edge of the island, white waves suddenly exploded, and an incomparably huge and ferocious sea beast emerged from it, its sharp teeth like cold and terrifying steel nails, its two huge eyes flickering with yellow light like lanterns, greedily staring at the panicked blue-haired girl.

The blue-haired girl was obviously caught off guard. With a scream, she quickly retreated towards the island, blue spiritual light floating around her, possessing a mid-Nascent Soul cultivation.

But even so, it was not enough in front of this huge sea beast.

The sea beast's strength had already reached the late-Deity Transformation stage, and its main body was so large that it even surpassed the island.

Bang!

The sea beast suddenly spewed out a surging column of water from its mouth, and the terrifying power smashed onto the island, actually splitting the island in half.

The originally fresh and beautiful island was instantly torn apart by terrifying power and completely collapsed.

"Mother… Save me!"

The blue-haired girl screamed and ran away desperately, the water column chasing behind her, constantly bombarding her, but without harming her in the slightest.

The sea beast's huge eyes were full of playfulness, obviously just teasing her.

Lingxiao Fairy glanced at Qin Changqing beside her, a smile curling up at the corner of her mouth: "I won't compete with you for this kind of heroic rescue… Why don't you go!"

Qin Changqing smiled slightly.

The one who gave birth to me, my parents, the one who knows me is Lingxiao Fairy!

He had this intention, and did not hesitate. He flicked his sleeves behind him, and his whole person instantly turned into a streamer and fell rapidly.

Below, the ferocious sea beast was playing happily, but it didn't realize that it was already in great trouble. The water column in its mouth was spraying happily, seemingly enjoying this cat-and-mouse feeling.

The blue-haired girl had been forced into a desperate situation by the ferocious sea beast, floating in mid-air, surrounded by surging seawater, obviously sealed off all escape routes by the sea beast with powerful spiritual power.

Her heart was full of regret.

If only she had listened to her mother and shouldn't have sneaked out!

The outside world is really scary!

Seeing that the ferocious sea beast had already come close, its terrifying mouth opened, its sharp serrated teeth were close at hand, and a fishy stench spewed out, almost suffocating her.

Thinking that she was about to be swallowed into the belly of such an ugly thing, the blue-haired girl couldn't help but cry, and the tears rolled down drop by drop, turning into jewel-like beads as soon as they left her eyes, crystal clear and beautiful.

The ferocious sea beast had also completely lost its interest in playing, and laughed strangely, directly devouring the blue-haired girl.

Suddenly, the ferocious sea beast froze, feeling something on its head.

Rolling its eyelids upwards, its divine sense swept over, and it realized that a little thing was standing on its head, and it was immediately furious.

Can the Sea King's head be stood on casually?

Audacious!

A paw directly slapped towards the top of its head, wanting to directly slap this ignorant fellow to death.
