Chapter 322 At Xuyan Sea
[Human World, Sea of Beards]
Shui Qingli and Yue Yuanming's first stop in the human world was naturally the Xuyan Sea, a sea that held special memories for them.
When this world was desolate, Yue Yuanming met the Water Lord who had not yet taken form here;
During the hundred years that Shui Qingli slept in, Yue Yuanming also dived into the sea countless times to silently accompany him.
When Shui Qingli nearly lost her body while purifying the sea, it was Yue Yuanming who secretly helped her...
The past is gone, and when they returned here, they had already overcome countless obstacles and stood firmly by each other's side.
When they arrived at Xuyan Coast, it was already evening in the human world. Under the glow of the setting sun, the sea shimmered. Yue Yuanming and Shui Qingli stood side by side, their fingers intertwined, leaning against each other.
Sensing the approach of the Lord of Water, Princess Haiyan and Haiqingtang, who temporarily ruled the Xuyan Sea, parted the waves to greet him.
"Prince Water." Haiyan and Haiqingtang greeted Shui Qingli politely.
"No need for formalities." Shui Qingli raised her hand in a gesture of support, and looking at Haiyan and Haiqingtang, who had been guarding Xuyan Sea, she stated her purpose directly: "We came to the human world to see the current situation here."
As Hai Yan straightened up, her gaze inadvertently swept over Yue Yuanming, whose fingers were intertwined with Shui Qingli's, and she suddenly froze: "It's you...?"
Looking at Yue Yuanming, Hai Yan had a sense of déjà vu—not long after she and Hai Qingtang were born, Shui Qingli, who had been sleeping at the bottom of the sea, suddenly awoke, and her uncontrolled immortal power erupted, causing a huge whirlpool to rise at the bottom of Xuyan Sea.
It was at this critical moment that the fairy appeared silently and easily took control of the situation.
Unexpectedly, our reunion after thousands of years will take place under these circumstances.
However, Haiyan wasn't too surprised. After all, thousands of years ago, Yue Yuanming and Shui Qingli had shown a closeness that went beyond ordinary friendship, so it seemed reasonable for them to be together (?).
Yue Yuanming was naturally very familiar with Haiyan and Haiqingtang, after all, Shui Qingli had entrusted Xuyanhai to them back then.
However, this was Shui Qingli's territory, and he never liked to bother with unimportant people, so he didn't say anything, but just held Shui Qingli's hand.
"The current state of the human world?" Haiyan realized she had just lost her composure and quickly composed herself.
“Yes, this concerns the survival of the human world.” Shui Qingli was very serious and clearly told Haiyan that this was not a trivial matter: “Now that Mutian Pavilion has taken control of the fairy realm, the next step is to address the problems of the human world. However, the human world is related to the safety of the fairy realm and the fairies, so we need to plan carefully.”
"This is the purpose for which Yuanming and I came to the human world."
Upon hearing this, Haiyan fell silent. With the renowned reputation of Mutian Pavilion, Haiyan had already guessed the outcome—if this world could not be saved, it could only be destroyed or placed under control.
Hai Qingtang, however, was straightforward and blunt: "The situation in the human world is very bad. Even though the ocean has been purified once, the princess and I have noticed that the situation is still deteriorating."
"Yes, there are still many marine creatures being affected by the environment." Haiyan sighed softly. In her opinion, this behavior of humans is digging their own grave.
"In the end, humanity has never truly repented," Shui Qingli said sarcastically, having understood Hai Qingtang's words. "Those Ye Luoli warriors who claim they will call on humanity to protect the environment have ultimately failed to change anything."
So why would he place his hopes on some completely unreliable elementary school students in his past life?
They even helped them persuade the fairies in Wonderland to believe in humans...
Looking back now, those really are some embarrassing moments in my history.
"But just that isn't enough to determine whether humanity still needs to be saved, is it?" Haiyan said thoughtfully.
Haiyan remained kind as always. Of course, she wasn't a saint; she simply didn't want to see too many living beings die tragically, and she didn't know what the world would be like without humans.
After all, Haiyan is considered a fairy, and without human civilization, she might return to her most primordial state of spirit.
This reluctance and uncertainty led Haiyan to decide to plead for leniency.
“Yuanming and I share the same idea; we plan to stay in the human world for a while.”
