Chapter 355: Yu Gu Yao Extra
Jiang Xinxin really let Shi Ying follow him until the day he passed away, and two hundred and fifty-three years had passed since the Tiandao changed the era name.
Logically speaking, Shi Ying had already reached the realm of reality, and his life span should not be just two hundred years. However, he accompanied Jiang Xinxin in traveling around the world, and when he saw all kinds of old, weak, sick and disabled people suffering from various difficult and complicated diseases, he always relied on the fact that he had taken the Three Lights Divine Water and spent all his efforts to treat them.
Jiang Xinxin advised him many times and found many elixirs for him to replenish his body, but he was secretly disobedient and gave the elixirs to others most of the time. His own body was not replenished in time. He even secretly took elixirs to conceal his physical condition in order to hide it from Jiang Xinxin's eyes.
But it was only for a moment that Jiang Xinxin was able to hide it from his eyes. When Jiang Xinxin found that almost half of Shi Ying's blood and energy had disappeared, she really wanted to beat him to the point where even Bai Yan would not be able to recognize him if he were still alive.
"Shiying!"
"You are a mentally sound adult, you should know that there are some things you can do and some things you can't do!"
Shi Ying endured the bitterness in his heart and told the lie he had made up for a long time: "Your Majesty, most of the people I treated were mermaids. Kong Sang had done irreparable wrongs to them in the past. I am just atonement for my sins."
Jiang Xinxin didn't believe this at all. She understood Shi Ying's feelings for her. No matter how well he hid them, they would always show in his eyes. She couldn't respond to such feelings because when she first met Shi Ying, he was a junior. Even though Shi Ying had grown up and taken on many responsibilities, the initial impression was not so easy to break.
At first, Shi Ying thought that it would be enough for him to just be with Jiang Xinxin, but gradually, this little companionship seemed not enough. He hoped to be closer to Jiang Xinxin, even though he knew that it was mostly just delusion, he couldn't help it.
However, Jiang Xinxin was not someone who would easily give in. After a hundred years, the Kongsang Dynasty finally came to an end. Among the royal family and clan members, only the illegitimate son of the last emperor who was raised outside was still alive. The reason why this illegitimate son was still alive was because his mother was a relative of the next dynasty, and his father's family had never been exposed.
Jiang Xinxin also began to feel a little tired of Shi Ying. Although she didn't think that she was trapped in this world because of Shi Ying, her feelings towards Shi Ying really began to fade.
Shi Ying was such a perceptive person that he came to Jiang Xinxin to admit his mistake as soon as he noticed something was wrong: "Your Majesty, did Ying do anything wrong?"
Jiang Xinxin thought about it carefully, and then told Shi Ying: "It's not your problem. I should be going through a tribulation, probably a heart-breaking tribulation or something like that. I can only figure it out by myself. Others can't help, and they may be implicated."
Shi Ying was very happy to believe this reason, but from then on she buried her thoughts deep in her heart.
Then another hundred years passed, and the Cangliu Empire, which had made a comeback, also showed signs of decline after its revival. Although there was an emperor who could be called the master of the revival later, it was a pity that he could not withstand the overwhelming trend. The short-lived glory created by that master was even shorter than that of the Qin and Sui dynasties. It lasted only ten years before the remnants of Kongsang came to power due to excessive waste of manpower.
What's even more interesting is that the new emperor is the reincarnation of Bai Xuelu, the White King of the Kongsang Bai tribe. He gave birth to a daughter who turned out to be the reincarnation of Zhu Yan. When Zhu Yan's reincarnation inherited the throne, he married a merman for the safety of the sea.
As for that mermaid, she was the result of a mermaid pearl that was left behind by Zhiyuan when he died and went to the Ice Clan. It was accidentally eaten by a mermaid and happened to be integrated with the essence and blood of a mermaid man and woman to develop into a mermaid.
Jiang Xinxin seemed to have been in a calamity targeting her character, even though she later gradually adjusted her attitude towards Shi Ying and stayed in the Yunhuang land with Shi Ying in various identities. After Shi Ying passed away, she realized that she was really plotted against by the heaven.
Perhaps he originally wanted her to unite with Shi Ying. If the two of them could leave behind blood, then he would have a chance to be reborn. However, he did not expect Jiang Xinxin to be more determined than he thought. Even though she did not notice his existence, she still refused the opportunity to improve her relationship with Shi Ying.
After Shi Ying left, his last bit of power also completely disappeared. Jiang Xinxin was relieved and realized that she had been too harsh on Shi Ying. She went to the underworld in person and watched Shi Ying reborn into the mortal world closest to the heaven. She also gave him some merits and left with satisfaction.
Zhiyuan used to love Zhu Yan's grandmother Yaoyi, and he even made a deal with the Ice Clan wise man just because he wanted to see a new world where he could love mermaids without being discriminated against. Jiang Xinxin knew early on that his wish would come true, but she didn't expect that after reincarnation, he would be together with Zhu Yan's reincarnation.
When the world was changed, the Dragon God opened the passage to the Azure Sea under the auspices of Bai Lin. However, the Dragon God no longer trusted anyone and decided to close the passage in front of the Yellow Springs Waterfall, so that the mermaids would grow in the Azure Sea and never come out again.
Most of the mermaids rushed back to the Biluo Sea, but almost all of the Restoration Army stayed behind. In addition, there were some young mermaids or those who had received help from the Kongsang people. They were reluctant to leave and stayed together. In particular, Jiang Xinxin built two islands in the sea in his early years, so the Restoration Army took some other mermaids who were unwilling to leave and stayed in Kongsang together.
The new heaven began to settle sins, and only the Red King, the White King, and the Green King remained. The remaining three kings soon changed hands, and the throne was inherited by a branch that had not committed a serious crime against the mermaids. Shi Ying took the opportunity to consolidate the imperial power. Unfortunately, Shi Yu was weak in character and not strong in health. When the prince born to Bai Xueying was three years old, he died of illness. Shi Ying had to temporarily take the position of regent, raising the young emperor while making drastic reforms.
Logically speaking, the Bai and Qing tribes committed the most serious sins against the mermaids, but the reason why the Bai and Qing tribes were able to survive was because Bai Xuelu and Qing Gang went against all odds and stopped the mermaid industry chain, and tried their best to assisted the mermaids to return to the Blue Sea. As a result, they obtained the forgiveness of the mermaids and the Sea Emperor, so after all the side branches died, they retained the names of the two tribes.
As for the Chi Clan, they originally did not have much discrimination against mermaids because of the Chizhu Feili, especially since their fiefdom was in the Western Wilderness, far away from the ocean, where the people were tough and mermaids used to be mostly ordinary slaves or concubines in the backyard. And because of Zhiyuan, the Chi Clan had intentionally severed their ties with the mermaids more than two hundred years ago.
Later, Zhu Yan inherited the throne of the Chi tribe. Not only did she escort the mermaids back to the Biluo Sea together with Bai Xuelu and Qing Gang, she also provided protection to the mermaids who remained on the Yunhuang land. This prevented those mermaids who remained from being retaliated against.
As for the Star Lord Emperor Langgan, who caused the mermaids 7,000 years of suffering, he was abandoned by Xuyao when Xuyao transferred his energy to Zhiyuan. Later, because the Ice Clan's test failed and the world changed its era, he and Xuyao were the first forces to be liquidated, and their end was not a good one.
