When Lingāe heard that, she immediatelyā¦ 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.
Lingāe was truly afraid that her senior brotherās love for her would turn into pure care and concernā¦
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 relationships at the age of 16 or 17 years old. She had confirmed that she had to become her senior brotherās Dao companion!
However, Lingāe did not have much anticipation.
She knew what that adorable little sister of the merman race could offerā¦
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 beā¦ really treated as his own sister!
Therefore, Lingāe did not hold much hope. She only replied politely, āI wonāt hide it from you, Sister. I do fancy someone.ā
Jiu Jiu chuckled and said to Jiang Siāer, āYou saw that person just now.ā
āOh? Could it be that brother Changshou?ā
Lingāe could not help but blush. Although she was a little embarrassed, she nodded slightly in agreement.
āWhat?ā
Xiong Lingli moved her little head over from the side.
Perhaps because her body was too strong, Jiang Siāer could not help but hide behind Lingāe.
Xiong Lingli exclaimed, āLingāe, do you like my cousin?ā
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 Siāer 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 ladyās heartā¦
Hence, Jiang Siāer whispered into Lingāeās ear.
She muttered some things to her.
Lingāe was stunned for a moment before asking, āReally?ā
āOf course, why would I lie to you? This is a rare treasure of our race.ā
Jiang Siāer smiled gently and took out a brocade box from her bracelet. She handed it to Lingāe and said, āTake this as a greeting gift for you, Sister.ā
Lingāe hurriedly said, āThis is too expensive. Itās our first time meeting. We canāt do this.ā
āSister, you really have to understand my feelings,ā Jiang Siāer said with a sigh. āThe marriage between me and Yi has just been decided. Iām 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 donāt accept it, I will smash it here and apologize to Yi.ā
Lingāe blinked gently and hurriedly said, āDonāt do that. Iāll accept it. Thank you, Sister.ā
At the same timeā¦ a certain Sect Master of the Sea God Sect, who was watching the show with his spiritual will, sent a voice transmission to his Second Sect Master.
āYour Dao-companion is meticulous and has great ideas. If you canāt figure it out, you can discuss it with her.ā
āOh?ā Ao Yi quickly asked with his spiritual will, āBrother, why did you say that?ā
Li Changshou smiled and said, āYouāll know when you ask them in the future. I heard them talking in the house. I suddenly felt a little emotional.ā
Ao Yi was puzzled. Li Changshou said, āContinue watching the show.ā
At that moment, the expert from the dragon race had already landed in the front courtyard of the Sea God 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 āTeam Xiongā formed by the twenty-four Divine Envoys of Xiong Village in the city, asking them to rush there immediatelyā¦
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 Yiās recount, the Dragon Kings of the four seas and the real powerful old dragons of the dragon race had already known about the Western Sectās schemes.
In fact, Li Changshou had already written the memorial for the Jade Emperor to tell him that the Sea God Sect in the South Ocean, and the dragon race were deliberately falling out with each other to create a sceneā¦
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 āstorylinesā 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 Siāer 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 shining 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 heartsā¦
It was as if he was complaining and crying.
Jiang Siāer introduced softly, āThis pearl is called the Tear Of The Previous Lifeā. 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 relationship 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.ā
Xiong Lingli exclaimed, āThereās such an evil thing?ā
Jiu Jiu giggled and commented, āIf heās a Heaven Immortal, it will be enough to touch the Heavenly Dao if you long for him for a hundred thousand years.ā
Xiong Lingli could not help but mutter, āBut wouldnāt this just be forcing it? The most important thing is mutual love.ā
Jiang Siāer blinked and thought, Why has the beautiful story of my race becomeā¦ So unbearable when the two of them talk about itā¦
Lingāe muttered to herself and said softly, āSenior Brother should like me too. This pearl should not be of much use to me. Howeverā¦ Well, to be safe, I can use it.ā She asked, āLittle Sister Siāer, is this thing really going to make Senior Brother fancy me?ā
āOf course,ā Jiang Siāer said with a smile. āThere wonāt be any other effects. Iāve tried it a hundred times and they worked every single time.ā
Lingāe continued to ponder. There was some hesitation in her eyes, but she still said, āAlthough I trust you, Sister, this item concerns my senior brother. I want to use it tooā¦ Little Sister Siāer, 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?ā
Jiang Siāer was stunnedā¦
Are humans so strict?
Jiang Siāer hurriedly said, āOf course. Iāll take a Great Dao oath now.ā
āPlease wait a moment.ā Lingāe smiled in embarrassment. āIāll write the contents of the oath on a piece of paper. Iāll let you read it. That way, you can be more at ease.ā
Jiang Siāer 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 soonā¦ Jiang Siāer 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.
That was mainly used to distinguish the authenticity of her words, not to punish her with the oath of the Great Dao.
Although Jiang Siāerās heart was calm, she was not lying
However, she felt a little guilty just now.
Fortunately, there was nothing unusual after the oath. Lingāe finally believed Jiang Siāerās words. She took the Tear of The Previous Life pearl and looked at it carefully. The three people beside her focused on it.
Lingāe said, āWhy donāt we forget about itā¦ā
With a few clangs, Jiang Siāer, Jiu Jiu, and Xiong Lingli staggered.
Jiu Jiu deliberately frightened her. āLingāe, are you going to use it? If youāre not, Iām going to use it!ā
āYes, yes! Ahā¦ Iām really afraid of being scolded by Senior Brother.ā
Lingāe bit her lips and closed her eyes. She held onto the Tear of The Previous Life and began to think about the bits and pieces of interaction between her senior brother and herself.
Gradually, smoke rose from the Tear of The Previous Life, which then formed Li Changshouās figure.
Jiu Jiu asked curiously, āLingāe, is this Little Changshou? Although his nose is still the same, and so are his eyes. Why does it feel like theyāre not the same person? The Little Changshou inside is obviously much better-looking.ā
Jiang Siāer chuckled. āThis is Sister Lingleās impression of Brother Changshou.ā
Jiu Jiu immediately understood.
Lingāe, who knew the correct answer, naturally could not tell them that her senior brother was usually disguised as a person with āordinary appearanceā.
Lingāe asked softly, āWhat do we do next?ā
Just as she finished speaking, the Tear of The Previous Life turned into a stream of water. The stream flew out of the straw hut and disappeared.
The four of them looked at each other in confusion.
Jiang Siāer hurriedly said, āThatās it!
āLater, Sister Lingāe and Brother Changshou will only need to meet and we can see what happens.ā āIs it that magical?ā
Jiu Jiu praised softly from the side. Lingle could not help but feel a little excited.
At that moment, Li Changshou felt a little strange.
That feeling was likeā¦
It was just like when Elder Moon used the Acacia Tree to attack his marriage clay figurine. His mind was filled with thoughts.
However, the person who appeared this time was his most familiar junior sister, Xiao Lingāeā¦
Is Elder Moon stirring trouble now?
Li Changshou diverted some attention and analyzed the information that his immortal senses had previously captured.
Legends of the merman race, Tear of The Previous Life, Little Lingāeā¦
Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Isnāt that a waste?
With such a good item, wouldnāt it be a wonderful thing if she kept it for Master or Grandmaster, so as to facilitate a marriage for Master, and to settle the relationship between Grandmaster and Exalted Wang Qing?
Li Changshou shook his head secretly.
The main body that had been hiding in the underground secret chamber had also taken out a portrait. It was the latest addition to his series of āAged Beautiesā paintingsā āThe Iron Grannyā.
However, Li Changshou was just about to observe and study carefully when the commotion in his heart suddenly disappeared. He was caught off guard. What is going on?
Is the merman race that unreliable?
Can there be counterfeits of the Tear of The Previous Life?
Could it beā¦that the merman who condensed this Tear of The Previous Life, actually has some stories that others did not know about when he was alive and purposely made a name for himself for the sake of his reputation?
Li Changshou felt bored and distracted. He was prepared to āfightā the Tear of The Previous Life.
Most of his attention was focused on the Sea God Temple in Anshui City. Not only did he control the three paper effigies, but he also maintained his spiritual will to communicate with Ao Yi at any timeā¦
Simultaneous operations had become the basic operation for him.
Li Changshou would not punish Lingāe for what she had done this time.
Lingāe only wanted to express her feelings. Although he did not want to accept it, he did not need to disappoint her.
He was conscionable.
On the contrary, the first thing that Junior Sister considered was not whether she could express her thoughts successfully. Instead, she was worried about the safety of her senior brother and asked Jiang Siāer to swear a Dao oath to prove herselfā¦
Li Changshou was a little touched by that.
Forget it. For Lingāeās sake, Iāll let her copy the Steadiness Sutra three thousand times later.
However, what Li Changshou did not know was that Lingāe had used the Tear of The Previous Life just a moment agoā¦ After the stream of light disappeared, it appeared in the Elder Moon Hall and transformed into a stream of light that wrapped around Elder Moonās wrist.
Elder Moon, who was pinching the marriage clay figurines, paused. He thought that the Old Heavenly Dao had sent a message, but after sensing it carefully, he realized something
It turned out that someone had used the Tear of The Previous Life of the merman race.
That was a small ācontractā in the rules of marriage. After one used the Tear of The Previous Life, he would have to follow the information in the Tear of The Previous Life and make a marriage happenā¦
Although it was not a marriage bestowed by the heavens, it was also something that the Heavenly Dao allowed. Elder Moon would usually help to form connections. āLet me see who this merman isā¦ Huh? The target is the disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, Liā¦ Eh? My little friend Changshou?ā
Elder Moon frowned and snorted. He crushed the stream of water in his hand and swept his sleeve.
āHow dare you plot against my young friend Changshou!?! I promised my young friend Changshou that I would not interfere with his marriage. How can I help you? Hmph!ā
Elder Moon shook his head and continued to pinch the marriage clay figurines in front of him.
If anyone wanted to lay a hand on Li Changshou, they still had to go through him, a legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts!
The moment Elder Moon crushed the stream of water.
In the straw hut by the lake, Jiu Jiu, who was teasing Lingāe, paused. Jiang Siāer, who had already felt at ease, widened her almond-shaped eyes. At the side, Xiong Lingli tilted her headā¦
Streams of light revolved around the opened brocade box, forming the teardrop-shaped Tear of The Previous Life.
Whatās more, a figure flew out from the Tear of The Previous Life and seemed to have been forcefully stuffed into Lingāeās heart.
Jiang Siāer could not help but say, āHasā¦ has it come back? Why would such a thing happen?ā
Lingāe immediately smiled bitterly. She looked up and rubbed her forehead, feeling like crying
Oh dear!
Senior Brother must have found out about this and used some method to break it!
After Jiang Siāer leaves, I wouldā¦ have to copy the Steadiness Sutraā¦
There was silence in the straw hut. Jiang Siāer raised her hand to support her forehead. She began to suspect her life, which was not considered that long.
However, although Li Changshou had recorded that scene with his immortal senses, he did not have the time to be distracted.
The dragon pretended to hesitate in front of the Sea God Temple in Anshui City. It paced around for a long time before it seemed to make up its mind and walked towards the door.
