In the Heavenly Realm, at the Star Falling Pool near Xuanji Palace, His Eldest Highness the Night God lounged, his handsome face calm and peaceful, his elbow resting on a rock, and his white shining dragon tail was bathed in the cold water. The sight was ethereal, the person as handsome as an immortal, which was scenic.
In reality: Luo Yu woke up feeling cold in his feet. He groggily opened his eyes and was stunned. Why did he not wake up in his room, but near a pool? Did he get kidnapped!? However, the water was too cold. Without thinking too much, he supported his hands with the stones on both sides and tried to stand up.
With a bang, water splashed everywhere. A shocking scene appeared: the originally gentle water surface became turbulent, water drops splashing everywhere, and a bright white, slightly curly long tail emerged, decorated with shining aurora-like scales, stretched under him. Luo Yu, with a confused expression, fell into the water.
"Monster!!!" Luo Yu roared and was so scared that he paddled what he thought were his legs and tried to climb ashore. As soon as he moved, the tail moved with him. Luo Yu was shocked. Is this his tail? The tail that grows from one's body!?
"I have become a monster!" Luo Yu thought, then raised his hand to slap himself a few times. The water is still cold, and his face feels painful. This should not be a dream. He lowered his head subconsciously; his upper body was still human, but he was not wearing his own clothes. He was wearing a strange snow-colored, pure white layered robe with wide sleeves. The surroundings were unusually quiet, and he could only hear his own breathing.
Luo Yu tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart and began to look at his newfound tail carefully. It looks like a fish tail, but it is difficult for ordinary fish to have such a long tail. He won't be a mermaid, right!?
Luo Yu was a little scared. He didn't get abducted by some crime syndicate and made into a mermaid for a scientific experiment, did he? His legs turned into a tail when he didn't pay attention, and Luo Yu worried whether his appearance would also change.
Luo Yu is a twenty-two-year-old college student, and he has been praised for having a handsome face that is similar to Luo Yunxi. Although he looks fatter than Luo Yunxi, good looks are still good looks. He is very worried that he would lose the good face his dad and mom gifted him.
He looked into the cold, shimmering water and observed his face. He indeed looks different. Although his current face looks similar to his original, this is not his face. But he recognizes the face, hairstyle, and clothes. The man in the water was more elegant, ethereal, and breathtaking than him.
Oh my god, isn't this the second male lead in "Ashes of Love", who is regarded as the most handsome man in the Six Realms by female audiences!? He recalled the sad experience of being forced by his friend to watch Ashes of Love throughout the summer. The girl called herself a Heavenly Consort and changed her about page to "My favorite person is Runyu. He is a good dragon. One day, he will lead a little Night Beast and build a rainbow bridge to marry me (shy~)". Her boyfriend was so jealous that he invited Luo Yu out for a drink to drown his sorrows.
He, Luo Yu, actually had the luck (or misfortune) of transmigrating into a historical drama, a fantasy one at that, and became Runyu!? Shaking his head to get rid of these miscellaneous thoughts, Luo Yu focused on how to turn back to normal. Runyu is an immortal; in the drama, he can use his spiritual power to turn his tail back into legs. However, he, a modern man from the 21st century, has been educated on science and math since he was a child, but he has never learned how to cast spells!
Luo Yu racked his brains, twirling his fingers together, and tried to make all kinds of hand symbols. A tea cup was conjured into his hand. Luo Yu was stunned. Although he knew he had magic, it was the first time he came into contact with this kind of thing, and he was inevitably excited. Chessboards, ice swords, Poké Balls, they all came out one after another, but his tail has not yet turned into legs.
While Ariel Luo Yu made every hand symbol he could think of to turn from a mermaid to a human, he didn't notice at all that there was a mist of black smoke behind him, which turned into a man clad in black as night.
The Snake Fairy Yanyou, whose eyes were stuck to His Eldest Highness the Night God's body, gradually became fierce. Humph, the godmother is hiding at the bottom of Dongting Cave in the dark, and is about to go crazy from missing her son and the hatred of the extermination of her clan, but you are like a normal person, lounging leisurely in the pool at your Xuanji Palace, being your Heavenly Highness!
What's more, Yanyou looked down at his waist. Why is Runyu's waist two circles thinner than his authentic water snake waist!? Yanyou fell into jealousy, and with the spiritual fire beads in his hands, he decided to teach Runyu a lesson.
Luo Yu didn't know that while he was living his life and minding his own business, someone wanted to harm him because of his thin waist. However, as Yanyou turned into black smoke again and got closer, Luo Yu sensitively noticed the change in the surrounding aura. It is difficult for him to describe what it feels like. The feeling is like the so-called divine consciousness that often appears in fantasy literature, which comes from the instinct of the immortal body, and the five senses are much sharper than those of mortals.
Although Luo Yu can't even take his tail back, he has the Night God version of Wi-Fi, and secretly adjusted his posture, tensed his body, and prepared for defense. He was new here and couldn't use Runyu's spiritual power freely, and he didn't even know where the timeline of the drama had progressed at present. However, the appearance reflected in the water just now had no hair crown, which means Runyu at this stage should not have been forced to villainize and become the Big Boss Heavenly Emperor yet.
When the black smoke was close enough, at the moment Yanyou suddenly struck, Luo Yu subconsciously raised his right palm to block. The other party's spiritual power is strong, and he is not sure whether this move will work. But the black smoke, as if stimulated by something, dispersed into a man in black, who rolled to the ground.
The blue Mermaid's Tears bracelet on the right wrist of the Night God suddenly glowed with bright spiritual light. Luo Yu's eyes brightened. It turns out that it was this thing that repelled the black smoke. Luo Yu almost forgot Runyu still had such a treasure.
The man in black failed to strike, turned from attack to defense, and looked at His Eldest Highness the Night God vigilantly. At the moment Luo Yu made eye contact with the man in black, he recognized that it was Yanyou. Seeing Yanyou clad in black, Luo Yu had a guess in his heart. Could it be that tonight is the critical moment of Xufeng's nirvana? However, Yanyou didn't go to Qiwu Palace to do the business Suli assigned him, but launched a sneak attack on her son halfway. He really wanted a beating.
But why did Yanyou attack the Night God? In the original drama, Yanyou only engaged in combat with Runyu because the latter sensed his presence and struck first. But why, when it was his turn, he did nothing but was attacked!?
Yanyou continued to stare at the Night God, who was still half-man and half-dragon, angrily. Luo Yu suddenly realized, is this flirtatious Yanyou jealous that Runyu is more handsome than him?
Yanyou, who was annoyed, used his spiritual power to attack the Night God again. Luo Yu saw this and urged his dragon tail with his waist strength, got out of the water, and avoided Yanyou's attack. The two flew past each other, turned around, and faced each other on both sides of the pool.
Luo Yu inwardly took a deep breath, copied the movements he remembered from the original drama, raised his arms, his long sleeves flicked, and a powerful blue water dragon appeared from the palm of his hand and rushed straight to Yanyou.
When Luo Yu was trying to turn his dragon tail back into legs before, he had summoned icicles, and now he is summoning the water dragon with the same method. Although the casting falls short in power, he really summoned successfully. Seeing the fierce water dragon roaring and flying towards him, Yanyou hurriedly resisted.
Runyu does not socialize, spends his spare time studying or cultivating, and his cultivation is extraordinary. Yanyou gradually felt that it was difficult to beat this Night God. If he continued to be entangled with the Night God, he was afraid that he would miss his assignment. He gritted his teeth, flicked his sleeve, and a red spiritual bead like fire suddenly shot out of his sleeve, flying straight at the Night God.
Luo Yu was high on the feeling of winning when, unexpectedly, Yanyou actually threw out a hidden weapon.
POW.
He only heard a thud, and then there was a burning pain from the dragon scales under his abdomen, which made his body unstable. The bead didn't hit his shoulder. It didn't hit his arm. It hit him near the "Forbidden Zone" of the Night God.
Yanyou saw the opportunity to make his escape, beat the water dragon with his spiritual power, rolled over, and withdrew the falling fire spiritual bead into his sleeve. Then, he directly turned into a "See Ya Later" cloud of smoke and left.
"Ow, it hurts..." Luo Yu sat on the ground and took a breath of cold air. He lifted the hem of his silk robes and saw that there was a literal black hole burnt through the fabric. He gritted his teeth and thought inwardly, "Yanyou! You green-scaled, ungrateful, back-stabbing snake! I haven't even read "Cultivation for Dummies" yet, and you hit me in the groin with a fire spiritual bead! You wait for me! When I learn to harness Runyu's spiritual power and fight properly, you'll regret this!"
Luo Yu conjured a cold pack of ice to press on the wound, then calmed down and began to think calmly about his current situation. Yanyou's appearance tonight is to attack Xufeng at the critical moment of his nirvana.
Of course, Luo Yu will not be too idle to think about saving Xufeng. He did not have feelings of close brotherhood with Xufeng like Runyu, and he didn't want to give the Heavenly Empress an excuse to catch him in the wrong place. He wasn't stupid enough to go help someone when he couldn't even turn his dragon tail back into legs. Besides, how can Xufeng fall into the Water Mirror in the Flower Realm and be picked up by Jinmi if he is not injured? It's not good to ruin other people's marriages.
Luo Yu remembered that the Star Falling Pool is near Xuanji Palace, and began walking around with his long, dragon tail to find the nearest building. Eventually, he found it, with a plaque reading "Xuanji Palace" hanging above the door, and utilized the last of his waist strength to jump on the jade steps and hop into Xuanji Palace.
When he finally entered Xuanji Palace, Luo Yu collapsed from exhaustion and the pain from the fire wound. The physical pain was one thing, but the emotional damage was another thing.
Lying on the cold floor of Xuanji Palace, Luo Yu thought of his room back home. He thought of his PC. He thought of his Pokémon cards and League skins. He thought of the 50% sugar Boba Milk Tea he'd never drink again.
The rims of his eyes turned red, and large, crystalline tears began rolling down his cheeks. If any immortal saw the Night God right now, they would see a masterpiece of sorrow: a pitiful beauty shedding the most beautiful, heart-wrenching tears.
Luo Yu inwardly sobbed, "I...I just wanted to play LOL and become a ballet dancer...I didn't want to be charred dragon...I want my mom and dad...."
The Night Beast, who sensed the return of its master, trotted into Xuanji Palace happily. Seeing the Night God crying, it licked his tears to comfort him, then gagged from the saltiness.
