Chapter 194 Sensitive Moon Elder, Protecting Li Changshou
When Ling’e heard that, she immediately… perked up.
All these years, she had racked her brains to come up with all sorts of schemes in order to woo her senior brother. However, she had never been able to win his heart. She often felt defeated.
Ling’e was truly afraid that her senior brother’s love for her would turn into pure care and concern…
She was the little junior sister who had been influenced by the Dao companion system in the sect when she had first developed her awareness of romantic relations.h.i.+ps at the age of 16 or 17 years old. She had confirmed that she had to become her senior brother’s Dao companion!
However, Ling’e did not have much antic.i.p.ation.
She knew what that adorable little sister of the merman race could offer…
The way of wooing him was nothing more than the nine tricks of using medicine, dolling herself up, targeting his feelings, stirring his emotions, creating a scene, pretending to be drunk and weak, do what he liked, play hard to get, and reject. Throughout the vears, she had always failed. How could she not have used all the tricks that she had thought of?
Recently, she felt that her senior brother might not be in the mood to find a Dao companion at this stage. Therefore, she focused on consolidating her image as a junior sister and kept a distance from her senior brother. She did not want to be… really treated as his own sister!
Therefore, Ling’e did not hold much hope. She only replied politely, “I won’t hide it from you, Sister. I do fancy someone.”
Jiu Jiu chuckled and said to Jiang Si’er, “You saw that person just now.”
“Oh? Could it be that brother Changshou?”
Ling’e could not help but blush. Although she was a little embarra.s.sed, she nodded slightly in agreement.
“What?”
Xiong Lingli moved her little head over from the side.
Perhaps because her body was too strong, Jiang Si’er could not help but hide behind Ling’e.
Xiong Lingli exclaimed, “Ling’e, do you like my cousin?”
Lingle blushed even more. She could not help but cover her face with her hands.
Jiu Jiu was overjoyed. She laughed with her feet raised while sitting cross-legged. She almost lost her balance and flipped over.
However, Jiang Si’er pursed her lips and smiled lightly. A huge stone had been lifted off her chest.
It would be easier if the two of them are in love with each other.
In order to prevent the dragon race from influencing her Yi Yi, she had put in a lot of effort this time. She had given her Brother Changshou a small helping hand so that he could easily win the lady’s heart…
Hence, Jiang Si’er whispered into Ling’e’s ear.
She muttered some things to her.
Ling’e was stunned for a moment before asking, “Really?”
“Of course, why would I lie to you? This is a rare treasure of our race.”
Jiang Si’er smiled gently and took out a brocade box from her bracelet. She handed it to Ling’e and said, “Take this as a greeting gift for you, Sister.”
Ling’e hurriedly said, “This is too expensive. It’s our first time meeting. We can’t do this.”
“Sister, you really have to understand my feelings,” Jiang Si’er said with a sigh. “The marriage between me and Yi has just been decided. I’m just an insignificant mermaid princess. However, Yi is the son of the dragon race leader. Ao Yi trusts this elder brother the most. He also told me to prepare a hefty gift for him. I thought about it and realized that this is the only gift that should be considered exquisite and unique to a disciple of Ren School. If you don’t accept it, I will smash it here and apologize to Yi.”
Ling’e blinked gently and hurriedly said, “Don’t do that. I’ll accept it. Thank you, Sister.”
At the same time… a certain Sect Master of the Sea G.o.d Sect, who was watching the show with his spiritual will, sent a voice transmission to his Second Sect Master.
“Your Dao-companion is meticulous and has great ideas. If you can’t figure it out, you can discuss it with her.”
“Oh?” Ao Yi quickly asked with his spiritual will, “Brother, why did you say that?”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “You’ll know when you ask them in the future. I heard them talking in the house. I suddenly felt a little emotional.”
Ao Yi was puzzled. Li Changshou said, “Continue watching the show.”
At that moment, the expert from the dragon race had already landed in the front courtyard of the Sea G.o.d Temple. He kept pacing back and forth without making any other moves.
However, Li Changshou felt that the dragon was waiting
When the mortals rushed there, the experts stationed in the South Ocean would notice him.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and focused most of his attention on Anshui City. He temporarily did not care about the straw huts.
He activated the paper effigy and quietly hid underground. He then sent a voice transmission to ‘Team Xiong’ formed by the twenty-four Divine Envoys of Xiong Village in the city, asking them to rush there immediately…
No matter how the uninvited guest attacked, Li Changshou was already prepared to deal with it. He could take the initiative at any time.
Ao Yi was beside him.
Furthermore, through Ao Yi’s recount, the Dragon Kings of the four seas and the real powerful old dragons of the dragon race had already known about the Western Sect’s schemes.
In fact, Li Changshou had already written the memorial for the Jade Emperor to tell him that the Sea G.o.d Sect in the South Ocean, and the dragon race were deliberately falling out with each other to create a scene…
However, Li Changshou still felt that it was not safe. He was worried that he had been careless.
In the Primordial World, no enemy could be underestimated.
Moreover, the Western Sect had two Saints. They were unscrupulous in their actions.
Li Changshou stared at the dragon that looked like a middle-aged man after transforming. A sharp glint flashed across his eyes, and dozens of densely-packed “storylines” appeared in his mind.
Fellow Daoist, do it yourself.
It is up to you to decide if you want to die or get beaten up.
In the straw hut by the lake of Little Qiong Peak, Jiang Si’er had already opened the brocade box. The four of them stood or sat around her.
In the brocade box, there was a light-blue pearl in the shape of a teardrop. It was s.h.i.+ning brightly and had a wisp of mysterious Dao runes lingering around it. If one stared at it for a while, a mournful and pleasant chant would appear in their hearts…
It was as if he was complaining and crying.
Jiang Si’er introduced softly, “This pearl is called the Tear Of The Previous Life’. The merman race has an ancient rule that we can only love one person in our lives. The tears of the previous life belong to someone who had an unrequited relations.h.i.+p and could not be together with his lover, even until death. Before his lifespan ran out, his merman pearl transformed into this Tear Of The Previous Life and he gave it to the other clansmen to prevent any regrets. As long as you think of the person you love deep in your heart, the Tear Of The Previous Life will remember him and he will develop feelings for you.”
Xiong Lingli exclaimed, “There’s such an evil thing?”
Jiu Jiu giggled and commented, “If he’s a Heaven Immortal, it will be enough to touch the Heavenly Dao if you long for him for a hundred thousand years.”
Xiong Lingli could not help but mutter, “But wouldn’t this just be forcing it? The most important thing is mutual love.”
Jiang Si’er blinked and thought, Why has the beautiful story of my race become… So unbearable when the two of them talk about it…
Ling’e muttered to herself and said softly, “Senior Brother should like me too. This pearl should not be of much use to me. However… Well, to be safe, I can use it.” She asked, “Little Sister Si’er, is this thing really going to make Senior Brother fancy me?”
“Of course,” Jiang Si’er said with a smile. “There won’t be any other effects. I’ve tried it a hundred times and they worked every single time.”
Ling’e continued to ponder. There was some hesitation in her eyes, but she still said, “Although I trust you, Sister, this item concerns my senior brother. I want to use it too… Little Sister Si’er, I have an unreasonable request. Can you please swear a Dao oath and guarantee that what you said just now is true and that this is really the Tear Of The Previous Life like you mentioned?”
Jiang Si’er was stunned…
Are humans so strict?
Jiang Si’er hurriedly said, “Of course. I’ll take a Great Dao oath now.”
“Please wait a moment.” Ling’e smiled in embarra.s.sment. “I’ll write the contents of the oath on a piece of paper. I’ll let you read it. That way, you can be more at ease.”
Jiang Si’er blinked. She felt that it might be a human rule, so she nodded and agreed.
She, who had grown up in the ocean, was really stunned.
Very soon… Jiang Si’er chanted the incantation and the Great Dao oath. The sky above the Little Qiong Peak rumbled.
The oath stated that if she had said anything false and that the item would not make Li Changshou fall for her, a small bolt of lightning would strike.
