Chapter 1342 - 402: A Nameless Heartache
When Luo Qian was mentioned, there was no longer any hatred in Luo Qixue’s eyes.
The matter of Luo Qian was because she was young and blind to reality, but with the unwavering companionship of the Merfolk King, Luo Qian was nothing but a fleeting scene to Luo Qixue.
However, she wasn’t willing to let someone like Luo Qian become the City Lord of Shui City, so she hoped Ye Lingyue could help her eliminate Luo Qian.
"Alright, consider it as payment for the Fetus Jade. But, Lady Qixue, don’t you want to see Luo Qianche again? After all, you’ve been separated from each other for over twenty years."
Ye Lingyue sighed, and not far away, a big blue-green fish leaped out of the sea.
Luo Qixue, with gentle eyes, gazed at the big fish and shook her head.
"No, Qianche is headstrong, but after this incident, I think she has understood many things. My departure is only to help her grow better. Besides, I am not truly leaving; Mo Ze and I will remain in Moli Sea to protect the people and Water Beasts here. I will also spend the rest of my life repaying for all the mistakes I’ve made in the past."
Having said this, Luo Qixue’s soul transformed into a golden light, merging into the seawater.
As Luo Qixue departed, the blue-green fish disappeared into the horizon of the sea.
From afar, a Merfolk’s song drifted over, accompanied by unchanging sea waves, spreading farther and wider.
Since that day, the ships sailing around Moli Sea never encountered stormy weather again.
On occasion, ships lost in the night would see a beautiful blue-green fish, with a beautiful woman perched on its back.
The woman would always guide those lost ships back to the correct channel.
Because of this, the fishermen around Moli Sea called them the Moli Sea God.
After Luo Qixue and the Merfolk King Mo Ze left, the Water Ghost turmoil that plagued Yuliao Town for days finally subsided.
Upon learning her mother had left, Luo Qianche wept bitterly and then departed.
No one knew where she went; Ye Lingyue and the others returned to Yuliao Town, finding the townsfolk had returned to normal.
At the docks, Qin Xiaochuan, Huang Jun, and Senior Sister Wan Yun, along with the jubilant townsfolk, welcomed Ye Lingyue and the others back.
"Miss Guangzi, Ling Yue, Di Shen, it’s so good to see you back safely. We were about to attack the shrine last night, when suddenly, all the Ghost Children in town returned to normal," Qin Xiaochuan exclaimed joyfully.
"Miss Guangzi, you don’t look well; are you tired from the journey?"
Qin Xiaochuan approached Guangzi immediately upon seeing her.
"Xiao Chuan, it’s so good to see you. I haven’t thanked you yet for saving my life last time, how about I treat you to a meal?"
Guangzi quickly responded enthusiastically, pulling Qin Xiaochuan along and disappearing quickly.
Xiao Chuan was filled with surprise and delight, while Guangzi was inwardly full of regret.
It’s a disaster! How did he carelessly expose his Dream Entry hypnosis ability in front of Sister? Now, his status as the leading performer in the Moonlight Troupe is bound to be discovered.
To avoid being questioned by Ye Lingyue, Guangzi had no choice but to escape quickly.
But poor Qin Xiaochuan thought Guangzi had taken a liking to him, his mouth nearly curled into a permanent smile.
Seeing Guangzi flee, Senior Sister Wan Yun and Huang Jun burst into laughter.
"Looks like Senior Brother Xiao Chuan’s springtime is arriving," Huang Jun commented with both envy and emotion.
Di Shen shrugged indifferently.
He could only hope Qin Xiaochuan would take care of himself.
At the time, he wasn’t particularly concerned with Xiao Chuan and Guangzi; Di Shen was more worried about Ye Lingyue.
Perhaps influenced by the Merfolk King and Luo Qixue, Ye Lingyue seemed distracted on the journey back to Yuliao Town.
"Wife, if you’re not feeling well, we can stay a few more days in Yuliao Town and set off for Shui City once the situation is sorted out," Di Shen said, looking at Ye Lingyue with concern.
He wanted to ask what was troubling his wife, but Di Shen knew Ye Lingyue’s personality—she would speak if she wanted to and wouldn’t be forced if she didn’t.
Ye Lingyue nodded.
Although Yuliao Town had been freed from Resentful Qi, it had suffered heavy casualties.
Di Shen worked with Huang Jun to help the townsfolk rebuild their homes.
Ye Lingyue went around checking and treating the injured townsfolk.
By nightfall, Ye Lingyue had finished her tasks.
Little Zhiyo hopped over, landing in Ye Lingyue’s hands.
Little Zhiyo licked Ye Lingyue’s palm.
"Boss, you don’t seem too happy. Did that boy Di Shen bully you?"
Ye Lingyue smiled wryly. Was her mood so obvious that even Little Zhiyo noticed it?
"It’s not Di Shen’s fault; he’s always been good to me. I’m just touched by the events involving the Merfolk King and Lady Qixue. I can’t explain it properly, but it’s regrettable that Lady Qixue and the Merfolk King, who should have lived happily ever after, were separated for over twenty years due to Luo Qian’s interference."
Ye Lingyue unconsciously touched her chest, feeling the pang of regret as if she had also experienced such pain.
But Di Shen obviously loves her dearly; they have never even quarreled.
Ye Lingyue didn’t realize her sadness was because she was moved.
With a tragic past sealed away by Yun Sheng and the Beiming couple, the incident with the Merfolk King and Luo Qixue unknowingly triggered those buried scars, not causing fresh wounds but bringing a dull ache.
"Boss, you’re overthinking it. Being the Huangquan City Lord is exhausting; keep worrying, and you’ll grow gray hair," Little Zhiyo remarked, shaking its head.
Ye Lingyue laughed, gathering her strength.
"Who says being City Lord is exhausting? Your boss here did have an unexpected gain; besides breaking through to the Fifth Layer of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, I acquired a secret treasure!"
Ye Lingyue spread her palm open.
Little Zhiyo looked at its boss’s palm, with the Cauldron Seal like a birthmark still there.
However, Little Zhiyo noticed the Cauldron Seal seemed different, like something extra had been added.
"I think I’ve found the lost piece of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron fragments. The Fetus Jade Lady Qixue gave me is part of the Jiu Provinces Cauldron fragments."
Ye Lingyue said with a smile.
