Chapter 585: Tears of the Merfolk Beneath Jingluo Lake (Part 10)
Unlike the silent darkness elsewhere, this water pool is surrounded by Luminous Pearls. Within the pool, built of white jade, lies a maiden with a blue fish tail, light blue translucent wings, and long chestnut hair like seaweed. She reclines quietly with her eyes closed.
Her exquisite face, every feature as beautifully dreamlike and captivating as could be.
Above the pool, apple-sized bubbles float, with figures shimmering inside them. Han Jing curiously reaches out and pops one of the bubbles, and suddenly the surroundings shift.
She finds herself amidst the crashing waves of the sea. On the shore stands a giant reef, and Han Jing struggles to swim toward it. When she climbs up, she surprisingly sees someone standing there.
The person is dressed in white, with dark hair draped elegantly, and a towering presence...
When Han Jing sees the person’s face clearly, she can’t help but call out in surprise: "Brother, why are you also..."
Han Jing intends to ask why he inexplicably ended up here when they were just in the palace under the water, and how, in the blink of an eye, they are now by the sea? But seeing his outfit, Han Jing instinctively falls silent.
Her brother was clearly wearing dark green clothes, something she couldn’t forget even with her poor memory since they had just met minutes ago. What’s more, her brother’s hair was tied up high, yet this person’s hair flows freely.
If he is not her brother, then who is he?
And where is she now?
Han Jing frowns in confusion and then sees the person bending down. She follows his gaze and suddenly sees his hand reaching out to someone, and isn’t that person the same Ting Luo she just saw asleep in the pool beneath the lake?
Except that the Ting Luo in the pool was asleep, whereas this Ting Luo has opened her eyes, her azure eyes as clear, alluring, and lovely as a sky washed by rain.
Her fingers, white as the finest mutton-fat jade, fall into his palm. With a gentle tug from him, she leaps onto the reef. The light blue translucent wings glimmer in the sunlight, and the large fish tail sways in the seawater, setting off a cascade of waves. The blue scales sparkle like dazzling gems.
The two lean in closely, speaking in whispers unknown, one in white, the other in blue, nestled together by the shore, as beautiful as a fairy tale.
This scene suddenly reminds Han Jing of the mermaid films she’s watched before, enchanting as a fairy tale. Isn’t this just such a beautiful picture?
Even though Ting Luo is not a mermaid but from the Merfolk Clan, she too is mesmerizingly beautiful, evoking longing.
Han Jing gazes at them in a daze. Is this a scene from the past between Ting Luo and her lover? But why does that man look so much like her brother?
Could it be that her brother’s past life has some connection to that man?
Moreover, how did she get here? Is this Ting Luo’s dream or her memory? Can they not see her?
Han Jing carefully walks over to them, even though she’s reluctant to destroy such a beautifully enchanting scene, if she has indeed fallen into some Illusion Realm, she must find a way to leave!
Han Jing extends her hand and gently taps the man’s shoulder, softly calling: "Hey!"
