"Qing'er is actually the third princess of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea—" Bai Suzhen murmured, and the expression on her face gradually changed from surprise to solemnity. "If that's the case, why is her soul a snake instead of a dragon?" Bai Suzhen approached Heimian, her eyes suddenly turned cold: "Who hurt Qing'er and made her like this?" Dragons are gods, and snakes are beasts. They are not the same. If nothing had happened, how could the third princess of the Dragon Palace become a snake demon with little Taoism? Someone must have hurt Qing'er's soul, which is why it happened.
Blackface said bitterly: "It's all because of that damn evil dragon spirit. If it weren't for him, the princess wouldn't have lost her soul."
"Are you saying that Kong Qianli hurt Xiaoqing?" Bai Suzhen suddenly regretted showing mercy that day. If she had known that Xiaoqing had been seriously injured by Kong Qianli, she would have been merciful. Bai Suzhen's heart twitched as soon as she thought of the pain of Xiaoqing's loss of soul. Her ten fingernails dug deep into her flesh. Bai Suzhen took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and asked with some doubt: "Even if Qing'er's soul is completely lost, as long as her spiritual consciousness is still there, can't she return to the Dragon Path after reincarnation?"
Blackface shrugged and replied, "That is indeed the case, but who made Lord Hades get drunk when the princess was reincarnated and opened the reincarnation tunnel by mistake?"
"What!" Bai Suzhen was stunned, a little surprised and unbelievable, "Are you saying that the Lord of Hell drank too much and caused Xiaoqing to suffer like this?"
Heimian hummed. When he and the other four envoys listened to the princess' story of how she was mistakenly reborn as a snake, they also found it a little hard to believe, just like Bai Suzhen does now. But it was indeed the fact that the King of Hell was greedy for wine and made a mistake. Later he asked Taishang Laojun for the golden elixir, which helped the princess to transform into a snake. Heimian could imagine that if the Dragon King knew about this, the King of Hell would be in big trouble. Unfortunately, the princess asked the five of them to keep the secret and not to publicize the matter. If Bai Suzhen hadn't threatened him with mind reading today, he would not have said it. Now that Bai Suzhen knew the whole story, he would wait to apologize to the princess.
"Miss Bai, I've told you everything you need to know. Can I go now?"
Bai Suzhen came back to her senses from her shock. She glanced at Heimian and nodded gently, "Heimian, thank you for being honest. You and Bai Fu should take care of yourselves in the future."
Heimian nodded. He looked at Bai Suzhen steadily, frowned and hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but speak: "Miss Bai, I know about the relationship between you and the princess. I, Heimian, shouldn't say too much, but I just can't help but say these words."
"Just say whatever you want, Heimian." Bai Suzhen said calmly. She glanced at Heimian and actually guessed what he wanted to say.
"Miss Bai, you and the princess are both extraordinary people. There is no need to be so concerned about mundane matters. I have followed the princess for many years, and I know her temperament very well. She will not easily like someone, let alone confess her feelings to someone rashly, especially when that person is a woman. But the princess has confessed her feelings to you, which shows that the princess is really in love with Miss Bai. If you cannot accept the princess's feelings, I, Heimian, have nothing to say. I just ask you to think carefully before making a decision. Don't regret it in the future and lose your happiness because of worldly prejudice." Those who are involved are often confused, while bystanders can see things more clearly. Heimian can see that Bai Suzhen may not be heartless to the princess. She cares about the princess's past, and would be at a loss because of the princess's departure. If she was really heartless, she wouldn't have to be like this. He sighed secretly, turned around and left. He had said everything he needed to say. As for how to make the decision, that was up to Bai Suzhen. He and the four envoys had to go find the princess early. The princess must have left sadly because of Bai Suzhen's rejection. Now they didn't know where she was or whether she was safe. They had to find her quickly.
Bai Suzhen was the only one left in the room. The empty space made her feel a little lonely. She slowly looked around the room. Her eyes dimmed and her heart felt empty. She closed her eyes and murmured softly: "Qing'er... what should I do?" Her voice was full of hesitation.
"Sister, are you thinking about me now?" On the top of the mountain, Xiaoqing leaned against a big rock, looking at the setting sun in the sky, muttering, recalling Bai Suzhen's every frown and smile, with waves of melancholy in her heart, pressing herself to the point of being unable to breathe...
"Why is it so painful to like someone? Why?" She suddenly looked up to the sky and howled, venting her distress. "Haha, God, have I done something wrong? Why are you punishing me like this..." She closed her eyes and tears slowly slid down her cheeks. At this moment, as a princess of the Dragon Palace, a woman who was not afraid of anything, was so fragile and helpless. She gently pulled the corners of her lips, and her smile was desperate and sad.
"I never thought that the third princess of Dragon Palace would one day suffer for love. This is really wonderful." A cold and mocking voice came from behind her. Xiaoqing ignored it and opened her eyes, staring blankly at the floating clouds in the sky. Even though her heart was in pain and suffering, she still couldn't forget Bai Suzhen. Although she knew it was impossible, her peerless face and gentle smile kept flashing before her eyes. It was like a demon and she couldn't extricate herself.
"Isn't Princess Long San always sharp-tongued? Why is she silent today?" Mu Yanran chuckled and walked to Xiaoqing, looking down at Xiaoqing who was sitting on the ground. When she saw the expression on Xiaoqing's face and the tears on her cheeks, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then slightly curled her lips and sneered in her heart: What goes around comes around, Xueyan, you made Qinghuan suffer from love, and now someone finally makes you suffer like this, God is really fair!
Xiaoqing slowly raised her head, glanced at Mu Yanran, and then looked away. She was in no mood to argue with her.
Mu Yanran sneered, not interested in arguing with a man who had lost his soul. She brushed her clothes and said directly: "Come with me, someone wants to see you."
