Chapter 221 The Crucial Love Candy
[Fairyland, Pure Water Lake, Water Crystal Palace]
"...That's roughly how it went." As soon as Ai Zhen entered the Water Linglong Palace, she told Shui Qingli in detail about Xingchen's visit to the Love Language Tower to find her.
"You said a fairy with gray-blue hair, gray-white skin, and a rather strange outfit came to see you?" Shui Qingli noticed Ai Zhen's description of the fairy and, from it, roughly guessed that the fairy was Xingchen: "Is her ability also mysterious?"
“Yes,” Ai Zhen said angrily, “He suddenly appeared in my Love Tower and locked me in a space.”
Hearing Ai Zhen's words, Shui Qingli became even more certain that she had encountered a ninth-order stardust.
But why did Stardust seek out Aizhen?
Is it...
"Qing'er, what did he tell you?" Shui Qingli suddenly remembered the precious love candy from her past life that almost determined the course of her future.
If you calculate the time, it's almost this time of day.
"How did you know?" Ai Zhen asked in surprise, producing a love candy from her hand. "This is the love candy he gave me, saying it's the King's weakness... Grandpa Shui, is this true?"
"Weakness... I wouldn't call it a weakness, but his emotions are definitely his." Looking at the love candy in Ai Zhen's palm, Shui Qingli's eyes were unreadable.
At that moment, he seemed to finally realize something.
He lost his emotions, he lost his memory...
As the pinnacle of combat power in the fairy realm, what exactly happened to them before, and who could have orchestrated things among them to bring them to this point?
Shui Qingli didn't continue thinking about it. Before he knew about the forgotten memories, these were still mysteries to him.
The most urgent task now is to resolve the hidden dangers of this love potion, so he asked Ai Zhen, "Now that you have the love potion, can you purify its emotions?"
"Of course." Ai Zhen could tell that Shui Qingli seemed to have a lot on her mind, but she was still perceptive enough not to ask.
She looked at the love candy and voiced her question: "But I feel there's something wrong with this love candy. The emotions I can feel don't match its color, and I don't remember ever extracting the King's emotions..."
These words stirred up a huge wave in Shui Qingli's heart. He suddenly thought of something: "Qing'er, I have a question. If you just condense a person's emotions into a love candy, will it make him lose his emotions?"
"Of course not!" Ai Zhen didn't understand why Shui Qingli asked this question, but she still answered patiently: "The love candy I usually make only extracts a little bit of emotion. Even if all the emotion is extracted, it will not make people lose their emotions. After all, the emotions of people and fairies are endless, and they will not become emotionless just because they are extracted."
Upon hearing this, Shui Qingli finally understood. In his forgotten past, someone must have been plotting against them in the dark, making him feel neither joy nor sorrow, and causing him to lose heart and forget the past.
However, since this relationship should include feelings for him, could he use these feelings to speed up the recovery of his memories?
"Qing'er, is it possible to separate a portion of your emotions and then return them to their source?" Shui Qingli thought to herself and directly asked Ai Zhen.
“It’s possible.” As expected of someone with expertise, Ai Zhen easily came up with a solution: “Just extract a portion when releasing emotions, and it won’t cause too much of a problem.”
“Okay.” Shui Qingli nodded and said, “Then you should try to purify the Precious Love Candy.”
“I’ll give it a try,” Ai Zhen nodded.
"Ye Luoli Magic, joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, grief, fear, and shock, the seven emotions and six desires, Baoqing Candy, release emotions!" Ai Zhen cast a spell, wanting to release the emotions of Baoqing Candy.
However, an unexpected turn of events occurred at this moment. When Aizhen's magic landed on the love potion, it did not release emotions as she wished, but instead released black smoke in that instant.
The powerful fluctuations of immortal energy startled both Shui Qingli and Ai Zhen. Seeing that Ai Zhen was about to be attacked, Shui Qingli quickly stood in front of her.
Shui Qingli was, after all, a second-tier cultivator, and his strength was far beyond that of Ai Zhen, whose immortal power was greatly diminished due to the influence of emotions. This was why he stood in front of Ai Zhen without hesitation.
If Shui Qingli hadn't shielded Ai Zhen, it would have been difficult to guarantee that she wouldn't have been seriously injured.
However, to Shui Qingli's surprise, before he could even deploy his shield, he was astonished to find an invisible shield blocking the spreading smoke.
He glanced instinctively at his left hand; the black ring there gleamed with an eerie light…
