Chapter 233 The Fate of Water [3] The Ruler of Water
"Water—drop—condenses—"
As a clear, cold voice rang out, the celestial energy points in the lake water rapidly condensed, and the primordial spirit within the whirlpool grew larger and larger. Supported by the flowing water, a figure gradually took shape—
He wore a magnificent light blue robe, with exquisitely carved blue gemstones inlaid at the collar, and the long hem embroidered with faint patterns that looked like flowing water.
His skin was fair, and his handsome face was breathtaking, like a perfect work of art meticulously crafted by the Creator. His eyes were gently closed, as if he were asleep, serene and sacred. His long, flowing, waterfall-like blue hair was smooth and graceful, swaying with the water.
His pointed elven ears symbolize his identity as the sole ruler of water in the world.
After the water receded, the people on the shore looked at the pure, flawless water sprites and couldn't help but reach out their hands to touch them.
As he cautiously touched the water sprite's fingertips, the water sprite quietly opened its eyes. Its eyes were as deep and blue as the ocean, and the faint blue light flowing around them was enough to captivate all beings. However, because it had just taken human form, it also carried a sense of bewilderment and confusion.
He was stunned by the sight of this water sprite; it seemed that no words in the world could adequately describe his every frown and smile, and all beauty paled in comparison to even a fraction of his charm.
Following the outstretched hand, the water sprite curiously examined the fairy before him. It was a pity, however, that the fairy was dressed in a completely black robe, and even her face, which the robe couldn't cover, was covered by a mask, making it impossible for him to see her features.
However, that familiar aura that had lingered almost day and night made him recognize his identity in an instant.
“...It’s you.” Although it was still a primordial spirit with little consciousness at that time, the water spirit would not forget the companionship during that long period of time, nor would it forget his help and waiting without complaint.
The water sprite's deep-seated dependence made her completely unguarded, so she reached out and grasped his outstretched hand without hesitation, yielding to his strength, and gently landed on the shore, right in front of him.
Seemingly dissatisfied with the person in front of him deliberately concealing his face, or perhaps simply wanting to see this fairy who had become so deeply ingrained in his life, the water sprite reached out and unhesitatingly removed the mask from his face.
Beneath the mask was a sharply defined face, completely different from his usual style, with delicate features and a pair of deep blue-purple eyes that seemed to see into people's hearts.
Despite wearing a black robe that covered his entire body, the domineering and rampant aura he exuded made it impossible for him to be associated with darkness.
Meanwhile, he was calmly observing the water sprite in front of him, his face showing no displeasure at being offended, but rather a rare smile.
That's really bold...
Is it that you are so unguarded with strangers, or that you are completely unguarded with him?
"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous..." Upon suddenly meeting those slightly smiling eyes, the water sprite belatedly realized that her behavior just now was somewhat inappropriate.
"It's alright, my name is Yue Yuanming, what's yours?" Yue Yuanming looked with interest at the water sprite whose ears were slightly red from embarrassment.
This newborn life has truly brought him a lot of interest, and it has certainly lived up to his long-held expectations.
"My name is Shui Qingli." The fairy had her own name since birth, and facing this fairy whom she had developed feelings for, Shui Qingli told him her name without hesitation.
"Lord of Water, Shui Qingli... This name suits you well." Yue Yuanming extended his hand and said gently to Shui Qingli, "Currently, it's just you and me in this world. Would you like to leave here and come with me to see other places?"
Of course, this was just a "polite" invitation. In reality, Yue Yuanming had already regarded Shui Qingli as his everything the moment he met her when she was still in her primordial spirit state.
He can only belong to him, and can only stay with him. No one can replace him or even think of taking him away.
Shui Qingli glanced at the still calm lake behind her, hesitated slightly, but then quickly took Yue Yuanming's hand: "...Okay."
The dependence on the person in front of you ultimately surpasses the dependence on the place of your birth.
Seeing that Shui Qingli was displeased, Yue Yuanming did not put the mask back on, but instead forcefully put a matching black robe on Shui Qingli.
Two black figures gradually disappeared on the horizon, and a faint voice came from afar—
Will we... come back?
"If you want to, you can."
