Nouvelle d'horreur Azure Heart

Chapitre 7

"You always say it's the last time! Damn it!" As the girl was furious, the scenery around her changed, and the original sea of flowers turned into a sea of fire.

After a difficult explanation of their purpose, the world inside the well returned to normal. The frog, who had transformed into a girl, pointed to a pond nearby. "Go there, and don't wander off!"

The demons immediately nodded vigorously.

"How many years of cultivation do you think it has?" the carp asked softly as it hid in the new pond.

"It's been at least 1,000 years." The river shrimp lay on the rock, watching the frog not far away.

"Wow, that's amazing! You can become an immortal with just 1000 points..." the crab said happily, waving its claws.

"Oh... I'm only 300 years old..." the black fish sighed.

"Why doesn't it transform into its original form? It takes a lot of energy to become human!" the carp wondered.

“Hehe,” the catfish swam over, “You’re wrong. That humanoid form is already its true form, so it doesn’t take any effort or mental energy.”

"Wow, that's amazing!" the demons exclaimed in surprise.

"It has cultivated for 3,000 years and has already entered the path of immortality!" the catfish added.

"Oh..." The demons were even more amazed.

"Immortal Path?" Black Fish asked, puzzled.

"It's that player from Ryonan, and Rukawa, who's from Shohoku!" Carp said.

"Oh! Carp, you know so much!" the blackfish exclaimed admiringly.

"Tch! Fish, you're so stupid!" the river shrimp scoffed.

"Racism!!!" the blackfish and the carp shouted.

"So what if I discriminate against you?" the river shrimp sneered.

"Ah—hegemony!!!" The blackfish and the carp burst into tears.

“Hehe, speaking of hegemony, I once…” the catfish began slowly.

"I'm sure the old catfish is trying to change the subject this time!" the carp immediately noticed.

"Old Catfish! Don't change the subject!!!"

Chapter Twelve

"Little guys, why did you become spirits?" The next morning, the frog, holding a sanxian (a three-stringed plucked instrument), squatted by the pond and asked with great interest.

The blackfish replied, "So that I won't have to eat fish anymore!"

The carp replied, "So I can come ashore and hear the gossip!"

The crab replied, "So I don't have to walk sideways!"

The river shrimp replied, "To see the sea!"

The fox replied, "For love..."

= =|||

Upon realizing that Tingcong wasn't there, and that no one would immediately look down on his fox, he felt a sense of loss...

At that moment, the frog asked with a laugh, "Love?"

The fox's eyes immediately lit up, and it moved closer to the frog, "Yeah, yeah... For Ji You GG, I'd do anything, not just become a spirit, I'd even become an immortal..."

The frog patted its head. "Ji You, are you the owner of the Taoist temple on the mountain?"

The fox nodded.

"If you become immortals, will you be able to be together?" the frog laughed.

"No way," the fox jumped onto the frog's lap and curled up. "I'm always a step behind him... But it's okay, as long as I can see him, that's enough..."

"Silly child," the frog shook its head.

"Exactly!" the carp echoed. "What will you do if Master Ji You arrests you?"

The fox looked up and said, "No way! Ji You and I have known each other for a long time..."

"Tch..." the demons chorused.

The fox brandished its claws. "What! Dissatisfied?!"

The frog sighed, "Do you know what he's thinking?"

The fox paused for a moment, then answered decisively, "Ji You's boyfriend? I don't know!"

"You've gambled your whole life just to catch up with one person, is it worth it?" the frog chuckled.

The fox lowered its head, recalling a spring afternoon a thousand years ago, when it was just an ordinary red fox, gazing up at the handsome young man before it. He held a green dumpling in his hand, his smile gentle, like the incredibly warm breeze of that day. He smiled and said to the fox, "Don't steal chickens! If you're hungry, eat a dumpling."

The fox raised its head and answered in an unquestionable tone, "Worth it!"

This time, not a single fairy "cut" it.

The frog still laughed, "Youth is wonderful..."

"Frog, then why did you become a spirit?" the inquisitive crab asked.

The frog paused slightly, "To get out of this well!"

"But haven't you never left this well?" the equally inquisitive Blackfish asked.

The frog stood up, picked up its sanxian (a three-stringed plucked instrument), and said, "I later discovered that the world is actually just a well." With that, it slowly walked away.

From the well, the leisurely song echoed: "The thatched gate is closed, and I roam freely amidst the misty clouds. Hidden among the forests and mountains, a small fairy abode. White clouds outside the building, green bamboo before the window, cinnabar at the bottom of the well. No one grows melons on my five-acre house, but guests share tea at the village temple. Spring's beauty is fleeting, until the roses bloom and the pear blossoms fall."

"Truly Zen..." the fox sighed.

"I can't understand it at all..." the river shrimp sighed.

"The path to immortality is truly extraordinary..." the carp exclaimed.

"Philosophy is truly profound and unfathomable..." Blackfish exclaimed.

"Can someone explain this to me..." the crab pondered.

Just then, a catfish emerged sinisterly from the water plants on one side.

"Hehe, speaking of explanations, I once..."

"Old Catfish! Don't change the subject!!!"

"I didn't, I didn't, I came here sincerely to explain..." the catfish protested.

The demons looked at it with distrust.

The catfish said slowly, "Actually, what traps the frog isn't a well, just as what traps the fox isn't a green dumpling..."

= =

"Why are you dragging me into this..." the fox said disdainfully, "I'm ignoring you guys, I'm going to follow Ji You GG."

"The more I explain, the less I understand..." the river shrimp said disdainfully, "I'm going to sunbathe."

The blackfish and carp swam away, clutching their fins. "I heard that the white dragon went to find that Flood Dragon again today..."

"I'm going to visit Zhuangzi..." The crab waved its claws and crawled away sideways.

"Hey—let me finish!" the catfish called out, extending its fins.

"I won't listen!"

"Hehe, you won't listen to me, I once..."

"Old Catfish! Don't change the subject!!!"

= =#

"At least let me pull it..."

...

The noise from the pond faded into the distance. The fox walked to the well's edge and unconsciously turned back. It remembered the saying: What trapped the fox wasn't just a green dumpling…

...

Chapter Thirteen

What does it mean to meet someone unexpectedly in life? It means that a river shrimp, bored out of its mind, is determined to go out for a stroll, transforms into human form without hesitation, climbs out of the well, and then bumps into Yin Ming.

Yinming held the bucket in one hand and covered his head, which had been throbbing from the impact, with the other, staring blankly at the river shrimp.

"What are you doing here?!" River Shrimp cried out indignantly, clutching the large bump on his head.

Yin Ming looked completely innocent. "Actually, this is my home..."

The river shrimp immediately froze.

"You...your home?!" The river shrimp jumped down into the well and looked at the rather abandoned garden.

"To be precise, it's my family's villa," Yinming put down the bucket and answered honestly.

The river shrimp looked at him and sighed, "You have a constitution that attracts monsters..." she concluded.

"Me?" Yin Ming smiled. "By the way, Miss He, why are you here?"

"It's none of your business." The river shrimp strolled away.

At that moment, several heads popped out of the well.

"Shrimp... help us buy red bean buns..." the carp and the blackfish called out.

"Sister Shrimp, please go to the academy and tell the teacher that I won't be going there for a while!" the crab shouted, poking its head out.

"Shrimp, bring me a flask of wine!" The catfish stretched out a hand and waved vigorously.

The river shrimp rushed over, shouting, "Why don't you go yourselves?!"

With tears in their eyes, the demons said, "We all need courage..."

"Go to hell!!!" The river shrimp jumped onto the well and stomped on the heads of those people.

“Miss He.” Yin Ming walked up and pulled He Xia back. “No need to get angry. Leave those matters to me.”
