Kuxue could feel the weight of tenderness and expectation coming from above her head.

This strength is not like that of the war god fighting with the devil on the battlefield, but like that of a father who is not good at expressing his true feelings.

"Tell me everything you need. I will then arrange for my immortals to do these things, and you..."

After hesitating for a moment, Li did not tell her to go and rest, but let her return to her normal life.

Although I feel sorry that I can't solve it myself, it's just like what the Emperor said.

She is tainted with too many causes and effects, and the aspirations of many of her people are pinned on her.

What we think about is no longer just pursuing "freedom" for ourselves, but what we need is stability like a "contract".

Guili Ji cannot afford the consequences of losing Kuxue, otherwise once Guizhong or Li falls, the people of Liyue will be split into countless groups again and live in fear again.

More importantly, only when the heir is around, both the immortals who followed the emperor and the people under his leadership will feel at ease.

Because if the demons are free from worries, order is no longer something that needs to be followed by them, and they can do whatever they want.

In the face of the results we have achieved after so many sacrifices, blood and tears.

No one wants all this to go to waste.

Therefore, just as Li said, thousands of rights are accompanied by thousands of responsibilities, along with the issuance of the oracle and the contract signed by the immortals who responded to the call.

For the Emperor, this is a responsibility that cannot be shirked. He must attach importance to everything that exists and ensure that it can be maintained smoothly.

Accompanied by the issuance of one order after another.

The immortals outside also followed the Emperor's wishes and began to search for what Kuxue was looking for.

In the end, it was Master Liuyun Jiefeng who brought the news.

"I have seen pure water in the waters near the stone gate. At that time, I saw that the water had various shapes and was quite amazing. It must be the product of a god from another land—"

"…If Kuxue needs this to treat the patient, I can go and help collect it."

Ganyu also petitioned for this.

As her younger sister, Kuxue had never asked her for anything, and now she was said to have been arguing with the Emperor for a long time over this matter. No matter from which angle you look at it, she should share the worries of the two of them.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng thought for a moment and nodded.

"That's fine. You control the power of frost and snow, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to deal with the water creatures. If you go quickly and come back quickly, you should be able to return before the two mortals' conditions worsen."

"Well, I will definitely live up to the Master's trust and come back as soon as possible."

After making up her mind, Ganyu went to find Kuxue to say goodbye.

She was a little uneasy at this moment, and her haggard appearance made Ganyu feel pity for her.

She hugged her sister and pressed her forehead against hers, getting closer to her than ever before.

The light, warm breath brushed across each other's faces, they looked at each other, their hearts meeting.

"Please wait for me, Kuxue."

"Don't get swallowed by the beast again this time, Sister Ganyu."

"Wow! Didn't we agree not to mention this again!?"

"Puhuhu. Sorry, there won't be a next time!"

After such fun, Ganyu officially embarked on the journey to find the Heart of Pure Water.

-

And Kuxue also "met" the demon god of Haiji on that night.

Chapter 42 The Tide Rises

In this world, dreams have some kind of "foreshadowing" or "intervention".

For example, the Dream Demon who was conquered in the past had the ability to fabricate realistic dreams, making it impossible for people to distinguish whether they were in reality or fantasy.

In this case, suicide becomes the basis for judging the reality of the dream. Many soldiers or young Yaksha generals who are not very skilled in Taoism can easily fall into this trap and lose their lives in vain.

Now, the Dream Demon was dead, but Kuxue could feel that she was falling deeper and deeper into the dream.

The reason was simple: she was walking along the beach at that moment.

The sound of the tide became clearer and clearer in her ears, as if calling her back.

The waves that washed over the girl's ankles brought back the memories of the runners -

From mountains, rivers and lakes, to streams returning to the sea.

Everything flows into the sea.

Finally, it returned to the quiet darkness.

After that moment——

She appeared in a place she had never been to before, which was full of corals, jade shells, and bright pearls emitting star-like brilliance.

There was the song of whales coming from the distant darkness, and there was also the current of water caused by some giant beast swimming by, and there were many... pale people.

The girl didn't know how to describe them. Their eyes, which they used to see, were degenerate, their faces were round and had gills, and although their bodies were thin and weak, their movements were not slow.

However, her arrival seemed to scare them. These pale people huddled together like a school of fish and did not dare to approach her.

When Kuxue moved forward, they retreated. When she retreated, they chased after her, always keeping a delicate distance from her.

It’s like being curious about something but afraid of change.

It was also at this time that she was very sure that she was in a "dream" woven by a demon god, and he wanted to tell her something...

What could have caused Him to take such action?

Moreover, speaking of this matter, she also recalled some rumors from the past...

It was a village where people believed in the god of the sea.

Every year, girls from the village are sacrificed to the sea god in exchange for fish catches and safety at sea.

However, something unexpected seemed to have happened afterwards. The fishing village was overturned by huge waves overnight, and all the people living there disappeared.

There was no wreckage, nor any "record" left behind.

The only thing we know is that the village was going to present a new pure girl the night before.

But after that night, it was destroyed.

It is also because of this incident that people in the Liyue region still believe in the sea god in some remote fishing villages.

But there is no status for Hai Ji in most mainstream beliefs.

And could it be the god of the sea who brought me here?

What is He going to do?

Could it be that he wants to start a war between the demons and the Emperor?

Too many problems arise, but they are all taken away by the silent ocean currents.

Just when Kuxue was puzzled, the group of pale people surrounded a person, holding a broken and dull conch in his hand, and swam to her side.

Like giving it to her?

What is this conch...

It seems that I always deal with conchs. Could it be that I also have the potential to be a "hermit crab"?

Although based on past experience, it’s almost the same!

As usual, after finding joy in misery, the girl did not shy away and directly took the conch. The other party seemed to be frightened and ran back to the tribe, but this group of pale people were still looking forward to her.

Some even make actions like "blowing randomly".

Is she supposed to play something with the conch?

Strange dream.

Just as they were looking for, the girl puffed up her lips and blew music into the conch shell.

That is a rhythm that has never existed in the deep sea.

Belonging to the sea, belonging to the sun, belonging to the continent...

The echo of the soul of the thing called "humanity".

The music played by the girl stopped the restlessness of these pale people. They prostrated themselves on the ground and listened to the tune attentively.

However, when the song of the tide was halfway through.

A pair of golden dragon eyes suddenly lit up, breaking through the sea water and reflecting the light of the sky onto the seabed. The pale people fled in terror, and the girl subconsciously stopped playing.

Then, a dragon roar with a hint of urgency awakened her consciousness.

When she woke up.

Her body had been submerged by the sea water up to her neck, but in her hand she was holding a conch shell that was exactly the same as the one in her dream and was blowing it. The sea tide that rose up with the music was constantly vibrating, as if resisting the emperor who was dancing in the air and manifesting the body of a real dragon.

The moment she woke up, she felt a pulling force at the back of her collar.

The voice of Master Liuyun Jiefeng also came.

"Kuxue! Wake up quickly!"

"True Lord? And the Emperor too... Why am I here, and what's going on now?"

The girl had never really participated in the front line of the Demon War.

Her abilities and personality also made other immortals, including the Emperor, feel that it was not appropriate for her to go to the battlefield.

Now, seeing such an extremely depressing scene, especially as it seemed to be closely related to herself, made her even more nervous.

"I don't know the details either. But what is certain is that you must have been tricked by the sea demon to play the song of calling the sea here."

Master Liuyunjiefeng spoke very quickly.

"Now the song is halfway through, and the tsunami is gathering. If the Emperor hadn't discovered it in time and inserted the sea-fixing technique into the stone peak, I'm afraid Guiliji would have been swallowed up by the rising tide."

"how so……"

The girl looked in the direction of the rising tide in astonishment. Just as Master Liuyun Jiefeng had said, the place once called Yaoguang Beach had been submerged by huge waves.

The tsunami also continued to hit the beach where Guiliyuan was located, and a large number of houses along the coast were destroyed.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there were no injured people, and a large amount of dust and sand continued to move forward like a line of defense, buying time for the people to escape.

Is Guizhong trying to rescue...

In addition, there are many immortals running around to resist the sea monsters that appear with the rising tide.

They are very ferocious and will not be stopped even if their fellows die.

A large number of corpses fell and the sea water turned scarlet.

A strong feeling of regret and self-blame welled up in my heart.

Kuxue couldn't ignore this scene, she needed to go down and help others.

But Master Liuyunjiefeng stopped her action.

"Don't act rashly. You are deeply influenced by the demon god. If you lose consciousness and get injured during the battle, or if you are snatched away by sea beasts, it will have a greater impact on the war!"

"But this disaster was caused by me...if I don't take responsibility!"

Hearing his most beloved disciple blaming himself in this way, Master Liuyun Jiefeng was silent for a moment, and then spoke in a complicated tone.

"Kuxue, the responsibility you need to bear is not here. This place does not require your strength alone. The Emperor and other immortals can handle it.

Get some rest...you may have to face something more serious later."

Chapter 43 Heart Sound

The tidal disaster caused by the heavy snow was finally quelled.

The huge waves raised by the sea demon were also smashed by the stone whale made by the emperor, leaving only the corpses of the sea monsters on the ground, and the post-war damage statistics of this disaster were also released.

There were few casualties, for, thanks to advance warning and the ultimate resistance, most of the people along the coast managed to escape, but their property was swept away by the tide or simply destroyed.

This made the victims either confused and helpless, or resentful of the sea demons. Fortunately, Guizhong also had a policy to properly resettle these people, at least they didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and the reconstruction work would be carried out after the tide receded.
