Young Didi was beside me, holding a bead tied to a red string and hanging it around my neck.
Phew...
The moment my body came into contact with the bead, I suddenly felt that I could breathe again. I could finally cough loudly!
While coughing, he lowered his head and looked at the pearl. It was about the size of a thumb, white and transparent. There seemed to be a bright light circulating inside it. It was very beautiful.
Water Repelling Pearl!
I remember now, during the mortal world's adventure, Yue Ze had given me a pearl that was about the same as mine. He said that I could avoid water, but I didn't bring it back when I returned to the Heaven Realm. Now that I carefully looked at it, I realized that what Shaodi had given me was indeed the Water Repelling Pearl, the same as that pearl!
No wonder he could speak so easily underwater. So he had such a good thing.
Finally, my life was spared. I heaved a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did you pull me into the water?" "What are you trying to do?!"
"Shh," Young Di suddenly came over and grabbed my shoulder, then made a gesture of 'hush'. "Follow me first."
He was holding my hand so hard that I was no match for him in the water and could only be dragged along by him. He raised his head and looked at the bright "skylight". There seemed to be people moving around. Could it be that Qing Ling was looking for him? I tried several times to break free from Shaodi and return to the surface, but he eventually pulled me back to the bottom of the lake.
The deeper down I went, the darker the light became, and in the end I had to rely entirely on the light of the Water Avoiding Pearl to see what was at the bottom of the lake. Not only did the bead glow, but it also continued to emit magical heat, which allowed me to be at the bottom of the frozen lake, but not be frozen by the cold.
The lake was deep, deeper than I could have imagined. The two of us kept sinking like two stones, but we never sat on the ground. Gradually, the dark undergrowth began to appear, intertwined and dense as a forest, and there were strange fish swimming about at the bottom of the lake, glowing all over. It was a strange world. I had never seen it before, and for a moment I was distracted.
Suddenly, I noticed that Shaodi wasn't wearing a Water Repelling Pearl. Because by now we were deep in a dark lake, and there were beads glowing on my body, but he didn't.
"Shaodi, don't you need to avoid the water droplets?" I asked.
"You actually know of this' Water Repelling Pearl '?" Young Di seemed a little surprised as he replied, "I've already said this before. I'm the king of the white realm, and this is my territory. I don't need the Water Repelling Pearl. Furthermore, I am a snow demon myself, and the snow is transformed into water.
"But why did you drag me into the water? "Why did you trick us into going to the lake?" I asked, "Are you really like what Qing Ling said? Are you in cahoots with the Infernal King?"
Shadowgale shook his head. "If I was with him, how could I have been locked inside the tower for three hundred years?"
Maybe it's a trick, trying to lure us in? I thought.
As if he had heard the words in my heart, Shaodi sighed and said, "Bai Cai, I'm really the king of this White Realm. I'm not lying to you." As for that Qing Ling, do you know him? Why do you trust him so? "
"About this …" I scratched my hair, which put me in a bit of a quandary. How could I tell him that I trusted him because I felt that I was destined to do it with Qing Ling? I can't tell him that Qing Ling was actually my dream lover. When I was attacked by a virgin, the person I saw in my previous life that I couldn't forget was him. That feeling was a secret, a small secret I wanted to keep by myself. I didn't want to share it with Young Didi.
Therefore, I told him, "Qing Ling and I knew each other before you, and he saved me. He has no right to harm me. "
Actually, it was only a day earlier than Shaodi. For some reason, she trusted him for no reason at all.
Young Di sighed. "I don't think you know him very well. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so stupid as to fall for his tricks. Qing Ling is the Infernal King, don't you know? "
"What?!" My eyes widened. "Am I hearing things?"
Young Di looked straight at me and refused to back down. "You didn't hear wrong, white boy. "Qing Ling is the devil king of this world. I will not lie to you."
My world was in chaos again.
Qing Ling had said that Young Di was the "lackey of the Infernal King," while Young Di had said that Qing Ling was the Infernal King.
Looking at the sincere eyes of the beautiful young man before me, I was at a loss once again. "You said that Qing Ling is the Infernal King. What evidence do you have?"
Shaodi said slowly, "There's no need for any other evidence. I'm the best one."
"You?"
"Three hundred and sixty-one years ago, as the first king of the white realm, I was defeated by that Demon King and locked on top of that tower. Not only did he use spells to damage my foundation, but in order to prevent me from resisting, he even forcefully fed me poison. For so many days and nights, I have heard my subjects wailing and wailing under his oppression at every moment. How can I forget such a bitter and bitter hatred? And why would they so easily recognize the wrong person? "
As the conversation continued, the previously elegant eyes of Young Di began to turn red from anger and hatred. "I've never heard his name, but now I've found out. His name is Qing Ling. Qing Ling, very good, haha!"
He said the name of Tsing Ling through gritted teeth, then stopped, laughing angrily. It scared me a little. His expression didn't seem like he was pretending, but there were still many questions in his heart. For example, if Qing Ling was really the Infernal King, why did he say that he was trapped here? For example, if he was really the Infernal King, then he would have already conquered this land. He would know the situation of the blizzard like the back of his hand, so how could he have followed Shaodi to this frozen lake last night? When he saw the frozen lake cut off our path, the shock in Qing Ling's eyes definitely wasn't fake.
Deep down, I would rather believe that Qing Ling had more power than him. Even I don't know the reason for that myself. She felt that he was reliable, that there was no need to be afraid and that she felt safe by his side.
For example, he had been trying to stop me from getting close to Young Master Di the entire time. Moreover, when I first met Young Master Di, he had clearly heard Young Master Di crying, but he had pretended that he didn't know anything. If he was truly an innocent person, how could he not save Young Master Di Di? He kept having the feeling that he wasn't such a cold-blooded and unfeeling person.
"I still can't believe you. "If you want me to believe you, please show me more evidence." "No," I said.
Young Di thought about it for a moment, then decided to bring me up to the surface of the lake. "Alright. It's not like we can stay at the bottom of the lake forever anyway. "Then go up and take a look. When the facts are laid out before you, you'll understand."
It suited me, so I urged him to bring me to the surface of the lake.
"Wait a moment, I still have something to take care of."
After leaving these words behind, Shaodi left. Before she left, she didn't forget to create a water prison to imprison my freedom.
