Chapter 951 The Black Sea (1/2)
Her silent, sorrowful expression reminded Darren of Denise.
”You have stories to tell,” Darren said calmly.
”No. I don't have any stories. Can you save me once? Please,” the Water Spirit implored.
”Yes.” Darren nodded without hesitation when he saw her earnest expression.
”Great! You agreed!” The Water Spirit leaped in the air. She was so beautiful and graceful that she reminded Darren of a blue spirit on the ice land.
”A promise is a promise.” The Water Spirit winked at Darren, then turned into a blue mist and flew away.
”Help. Who can help me?”
A moment later, Darren heard the Water Spirit's call.
Darren was speechless. He had expected to hear some fear in her tone. Instead, she seemed thrilled.
As Darren had promised to play this game with her, he would save her, just as she had asked.
Whoosh!
When Darren flew in the direction where the Water Spirit's voice had come from, he saw her lying on the Absolute Cold Pool.
”What happened to you?” Darren asked as he feigned concern.
”Help me. I have been trapped here for many years. Can you help me, please?” the Water Spirit pleaded.
”Yes,” Darren answered listlessly. This game was more boring than he had imagined.
”Hey. Can you be a little more serious?” The Water Spirit frowned and pouted as she admonished Darren.
”Okay.” Darren nodded. Then, after a brief pause, he added, ”Don't be afraid, miss. I'll help you.”
Suddenly, Darren laughed over the silliness of the game. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't take the game seriously. After all, she was the powerful Water Spirit, and she was not in danger!
When he saw her expression, however, he swallowed his laughter and took a few steps backward. Simultaneously, he began to probe his surroundings with his spiritual sense. He wondered if he was too naive to see beyond the superficial ridiculousness of the game. Perhaps there were other tricks that he had to discover.
Darren was dumbfounded when he found that the game was, indeed, as silly as it appeared. Nevertheless, he scooped the Water Spirit in his arms and carried her out of the Absolute Cold Pool.
