The old dragon, the dragon mother, and the dragon son outside waited for a long time, and finally saw the door of the dragon girl's bedroom open again. Ji Yuan's frowning figure appeared at the door. Looking behind him, Ying Ruoli was still sitting cross-legged in the same place with her divine light on.
Ji Yuan looked back, closed the door, and walked out of the restriction. Now Lao Long couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mr. Ji, how is Ruoli? Why is her breath often unstable when she is near Hualong?"
Ji Yuan didn't say anything for the time being. Instead, he looked at Ying Feng twice more, then glanced at the Dragon Mother, and then looked the old dragon up and down. He couldn't believe that the old man he is now could have been as good-looking as the Dragon Girl said.
"Why do you keep looking at me?"
Lao Long frowned and asked, not knowing what Ji Yuan was up to.
Ji Yuan sighed.
"Hey! Ji thought Ruoli's transformation into a dragon would be smooth sailing, but I didn't expect things to be so serious. Something might go wrong during the water transport. Failure in the transformation is a small matter, but I'm afraid she'll die in the water transport. Who knows..."
Ji Yuan stopped talking here, but the old dragon, the dragon mother, and the dragon son were so frightened that their faces changed drastically.
"What? So serious?"
Longzi was the first to exclaim in surprise, and then Lao Long grabbed Ji Yuan's hand with great force.
"Mr. Ji, are you telling the truth?"
"I'm afraid I've missed something! Ruoli must have felt something and has been suppressing her own cultivation. But she has already made too many preparations for the dragon transformation and should have gone with the flow. Now the more she suppresses herself, the more counterproductive it becomes."
He pulled his arm out of Lao Long's hand and looked at him.
"Mr. Ying is a real dragon, so he naturally knows more about turning into a dragon and walking on water than I do. In your opinion, how should Ruoli deal with it?"
The old dragon was so concerned that he was in a panic. He put his fists in his sleeves and his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth in front of Ji Yuan. During this time, Ji Yuan also observed the reaction of the Dragon Mother. He saw that her eyes were always moving back and forth between the door of the Dragon Girl's bedroom and the old dragon.
At this moment, Lao Long suddenly stopped and looked up at Ji Yuan.
"Ruoli can't suppress it any longer. Either the fire breaks out immediately, or she wastes a hundred years of cultivation and completely gives up on this fire breakout."
"What? Dad, you should ask Ruoli yourself, right?"
Ying Feng was a little anxious. Of course, he cared about his sister's safety, but if he forcibly gave up his hundred years of cultivation, he might not only give up this fire, but also the entire chance of transforming into a dragon, because his spirit might be ruined.
"How could this happen... Ruoli clearly already has the heart of a dragon and the wisdom of a true dragon..."
The Dragon Mother murmured and took a step closer to Ji Yuan.
"Mr. Ji, you are the Taoist Immortal, you must have a solution. Ruoli will definitely not give up on transforming into a dragon."
"It is precisely because I helped her with the heart-knocking method that now she seems to be troubled by the knot in her heart, and the impact on herself is getting bigger and bigger. Oh! Of course, I will do my best. In my opinion, I also do not agree with Ruoli giving up the dragon transformation. Otherwise, it will not only be a pity, but also too heavy a blow to Ruoli..."
It's impossible for things to have results immediately? It's also impossible to discuss a solution just by standing in front of Ying Ruoli's door? Ji Yuan had to be entertained when he came, so a family dinner was prepared in the Shui Mansion that day.
The dragon's mother went to the kitchen to prepare meals, while Ji Yuan was pulled away by the old dragon to talk in private. However, they did not go to any corner of the Dragon Palace, but went out of the restricted area and reached the surface of Tongtian River.
It was raining outside, and the river surface looked a little hazy. Ji Yuan and Lao Long were standing on the bank not far from Xinzhuangyuan Ferry, looking at the people and boats in the ports on both sides, and also looking at the Tongtian River shrouded in mist and rain.
"Mr. Ji? Let me be frank. Did Ruoli say anything to you in her room?"
After standing in silence for a long time, the first words that Lao Long said made Ji Yuan's eyelids jump, but Ji Yuan resisted the urge to speak. He just looked at the river, admiring the beautiful scenery of Tongtian River in the rain, and then asked softly.
"Mr. Ying, do you know where this rain comes from?"
The old dragon looked up at the clouds in the sky and then looked down in the direction where the waterway was spreading.
"It was born from the sympathy of the heart of heaven. It must be Ruoli crying..."
They are all smart people and good friends who know each other very well. Having said that, Ji Yuan also understands that Lao Long probably has some idea in his mind.
"Yes, it is because Ruoli cried that what Ji said in the Water Palace is true. Ji used the method of knocking on the heart to help Ruoli overcome the mental barrier and strengthen her determination to transform into a dragon. This also made Ruoli's transformation into a dragon different from ordinary transformations. She paid more attention to her state of mind. Ruoli still has a huge knot in her heart. If this knot is not removed, it will really affect her path to transformation into a dragon, and it will also be very dangerous."
Lao Long frowned and looked at Ji Yuan. He opened his mouth several times but didn't say anything. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke.
"Mr. Ji, it's not that I don't want to, but... after all, I am a real dragon, and the dragons of the four seas are watching me..."
Ji Yuan also looked at Lao Long and said very seriously.
"Then seize this opportunity!"
"If the matter of turning glass into a dragon is serious, what I said before was not a joke. And since you also want to do so, then it is easy to deal with. Just be shameless. If you have a thicker skin than dragon scales, everything will be easy to deal with."
The corners of Lao Long's mouth twitched. After hearing what Ji Yuan said, he felt a lot more at ease. At least his daughter wouldn't be in too much danger.
While Ji Yuan was talking to the old dragon, the Dragon Mother was busy in the kitchen of the Dragon Palace, while the Dragon Son Ying Feng was still guarding outside the Dragon Girl's bedroom. Then, while sitting cross-legged, he felt something, turned his head and looked behind him, only to find that the door was open and the Dragon Girl was standing at the door.
"Ruoli you..."
"Hush~Brother, come here and talk..."
Looking at his sister's sneaky behavior, she didn't look in any danger at all.
So after more than a quarter of an hour, the Dragon Girl went back to her room to practice, while the Dragon Son left the position he had been holding and went to the kitchen of the Dragon Palace.
When he reached the door, Ying Feng gathered his emotions for a while before running inside in a hurry.
"Mother, mother! Ruoli is at such a critical moment now. Her heart is concerned with both cultivation and life and death. Feng'er must tell you no matter what..."
Ji Yuan and the Dragon Girl's strategy was that these two dragons had each other in their hearts, but their tempers were extremely stubborn, especially the Dragon Mother. So they had to first let them confirm the seriousness and relevance of the matter, and even work out a solution, but they would not be given any time to react, forcing them to reconcile.
So, just when Ji Yuan was talking to the old dragon on the shore and Ying Feng was talking to the Dragon Mother in the kitchen of the Dragon Palace, suddenly a loud and deafening dragon roar was heard from the direction of the Dragon Girl's bedroom in the Dragon Palace.
"Roar—"
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The Dragon Palace began to shake, and the water spirit of the entire Tongtian River was like a hurricane, appearing turbulent and restless. Many people in the Dragon Palace could not stand steadily.
"Boom..."
A loud thunder sounded, and over the Tongtian River, the dark clouds in the sky completely turned into dark clouds in a short period of time. Lightning snakes danced wildly in the clouds, and the poetic and hazy rain curtain suddenly turned into heavy rain.
"The fire broke out!"
The old dragon, the dragon mother and the others were shocked and had the same thought.
The next moment, the forbidden door of the Dragon Girl's bedroom opened, and an illusory dragon shadow rushed out of the water palace with bursts of dragon roars. Ying Ruoli's voice also spread throughout the water palace.
"The transformation from water to dragon begins today, Ruoli is gone."
The voice belonged to the Dragon Girl, but it was more resolute and even decisive than before.
The dragon's shadow became thicker and longer after it left the bedroom. The fish ladies, yakshas and others in the Dragon Palace were all swept away by the current and watched the dragon's shadow leave the water palace.
"Ruoli!"
The Dragon Mother and her son rushed out of the water palace together, only to see a vague dragon shadow in the distance. After entering the river, it was gradually turning into substance. It was a Chi Jiao with a colorful glazed light on its body.
The sudden onset of the Dragon Girl's illness at this moment was beyond the Old Dragon's expectations. He and Ji Yuan were standing by the river, but suddenly they saw the heavy rain turning into a rainstorm. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, and the river water was surging.
In the center of the river, starting from the direction of the distant water palace, there was a huge wave rushing towards this side. Wherever it passed, the river water was like a stirred water tank, churning in the rainstorm. The large and small boats on the river could not control their rudders, and the boats were pushed to the two banks by the waves while shaking unstablely.
"Crack...Boom..."
Thunder struck directly into the river, illuminating the dark river surface. The shadow of a huge dragon was faintly visible under the water, scaring some people who were lucky enough to see it and making them scream.
Although the Dragon Girl had been very restrained, the dragon's sensitivity to water vapor had reached an exaggerated level when it walked into the water. Even if she did not stir up any storm, the water in Tongtian River was still as terrifying as a flood.
The figures of the Dragon Mother and the Dragon Son also appeared on the surface of the river, chasing the Dragon Girl's dragon shadow. Ji Yuan glanced at the old dragon, pushed him, and after the latter staggered a step, he flew into the air with him. Before he got close to the Dragon Mother, Ji Yuan had already shouted in an anxious tone.
"Madam Ying, Ruoli is still unable to escape. I have just calculated that there is a flaw in her heart. She has a deep knot in her heart, so she will definitely attract the devil. She will be in danger if she turns into a dragon now!"
Ji Yuan patted Lao Long as he spoke. The latter was still hesitating, but now he spoke immediately.
"Madam, this matter is critical. Mr. Ji will do his best to suppress the water spirit energy and the calamity. I hope that Madam will work together with me. You and I, as dragon parents, will lead away some of the calamity for Ruoli, so that she will have a chance to suppress the dragon energy again!"
The dragon clan's walking on water is both a method and a calamity. No matter who walks on water, they have to rely on their own strength. Whatever they encounter along the way is their own fate. It is ok to encounter help unexpectedly, but if someone deliberately helps the other party, not only may the other party's calamity not be reduced, but they may also bring disaster upon themselves.
But if both parents take action, at a close enough distance, although they themselves will also be plagued by calamity, they can actually divert some of the calamity for their children.
As the old dragon spoke, he had transformed into a dragon shadow wrapped in mist and was flying ten feet above the river. The swinging of his huge dragon body made the surrounding wind and thunder even more powerful. Many times, the dragon's tail almost stuck to the coast and passed by some ships.
Without saying a word, the Dragon Mother immediately transformed into a dragon and followed the Chilong to rush towards her daughter.
