Chapter 112 The Heart of Pure Water
In a burst of light, Qi Na completed her transformation, still wearing that dazzling red outfit and displaying an incredibly confident demeanor.
However, since it wasn't her first transformation, Qi Na didn't pay much attention to her own changes, but instead looked at Fei Ling in front of her.
"Feiling! You're finally back!" Overjoyed at being found again, Qi Na hugged Feiling tightly, disregarding the presence of the men in black.
"Master, I'm sorry for making you worry..." Fei Ling choked up a little. She had thought that the separation at Qingxi Gorge would be a final farewell, and being able to be with Qi Na now was the greatest joy.
"It's alright, it's good that you're back," Qi Na said sincerely.
Aside from her grandmother, Fei Ling was already her most important relative, so Qi Na was terrified of losing her.
"Qina, I have resurrected Feiling for you. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise," the man in black said, giving Feiling a meaningful look.
Just as he expected, even though Fei Ling already possessed her own soul color, she still couldn't escape the limitations of the puppetry technique, nor could she break free from his control.
After all, puppetry not only bestows a soul, but also an absolute consciousness of unconditional loyalty to the puppeteer.
Upon hearing the voice of the man in black, Fei Ling also noticed this problem. She could sense that even though she had been reborn, she was still bound like a caged bird and could not obtain true freedom.
However, Feiling did not have such a strong desire for freedom. As long as she could stay with her master, what did it matter if she didn't have freedom?
"Just tell us what you need, and our master and I will definitely be able to handle it!" Fei Ling and Qi Na exchanged a glance. Although they didn't know what the man in black was after, there weren't many things they cared about right now.
Surely that unidentified man in black wouldn't kill an elderly woman over seventy... As for their so-called companions, since they don't care about their lives, why should they hesitate?
Zina nodded, indicating her agreement with Feiling's point of view.
"There are no tasks to assign you yet." Seeing how sensible Qi Na and Fei Ling were, the man in black realized that he had saved himself a lot of trouble and couldn't help but feel even more grateful to Xin Ling for creating all of this.
"I'll send you back to the human world first. You can continue to maintain your identities as Ye Luoli warriors. I'll inform Fei Ling about any missions that come up later."
“Okay.” Zina and Feiling nodded, and then returned to the human world through the passage created by the men in black.
……
After Qi Na and Fei Ling left, the invisible barrier suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. The pavilion that was originally in the forest vanished, and a blue lake gradually appeared, which was none other than the Pure Water Lake.
The man in black who had been sitting on the stone bench also stood up. He reached out and removed the mask from his face, revealing his already stunning appearance—it was Shui Qingli.
“This outfit…” Shui Qingli looked at the familiar mask and black robe, and a strange sense of nostalgia welled up inside her: “It feels like I’ve been away from there for a long time…”
Yes, it's been a long time, so long that when I want to conceal my identity, I subconsciously think of this uniform I wore when I was there.
Anyway, neither Qi Na nor Fei Ling knew about the existence of Mu Tian Ge, and those who did know were blocked by the barrier he created, so let's just be willful this once.
However, what Shui Qingli didn't know was that he was still seen by someone spying on him every now and then in this disguise...
……
[Water Prince, congratulations on completing the fourth task. Now check your reward.] A soft voice sounded, bringing Shui Qingli back to her senses after a moment of daze.
The next moment, he returned to the Water Crystal Palace at the bottom of the Clear Water Lake, and then asked Qianqian, "What reward?"
Congratulations on receiving the reward: Heart of Pure Water.
[Effects of the Purifying Heart: It can purify oceans polluted by humans and maintain a stable underwater ecosystem.]
After Qianqian finished her introduction, a bead shimmering with a faint, watery blue light appeared out of thin air in front of Shui Qingli.
Shui Qingli was also taken aback by Qianqian's introduction. Although he could sense that this seemingly ordinary bead contained a very special purifying power, he never expected it to be so powerful as to be able to purify the ocean.
It's important to know that oceans cover nearly three-quarters of the human world!
However, this reward gave Shui Qingli a feeling of having searched high and low without finding it, and then suddenly getting it without any effort, since the problem of ocean pollution had become so serious that even he was starting to lose control.
If things continue like this, not only the creatures in the sea, but even he, who was born from water, will suffer the same fate as his previous life, living in constant uncertainty.
This was the first time Shui Qingli had considered such a problem since his rebirth—even if he could interfere with the development of abnormal plots, as long as humanity continued to destroy nature without restraint, the crisis in the fairyland could not be resolved.
"It seems it's time to return to Xuyan Sea..."
