The Coming Heroine: The Only Princess

Chapter 221 The Sadness of the Soul
In suspicion, Zhang Yunyan was looking around and felt the flow of water. She quickly remembered that in that cave with stream water, they had encountered Jiuyou Sage and the devils. At the critical moment, the jade suddenly performed its magic, which was shocking.

At that moment, she was shocked, and knew that the terrible disaster would happen instantly and there would be no escape. With the deafening sound, she knew nothing of what had happened next.

Why was there so much water?

Zhang Yunyan thought about it for a long time and could not find the answer.

She was thinking that she might have been pushed down the stream water by the powerful magic of the jade and then come down here. Otherwise, she could not explain why it was full of water and why she was in it.

Suddenly, Yunyan thought of the Magical Dragon Sword, and she looked around, but could see nothing in the dark.

She was frightened and exclaimed, “Ah, where is my sword?”

Zhang Yunyan quickly remembered that the sword was in the hands of her friend Shikong. It seemed that when the cave collapsed, Shikong together with the treasured knife had been buried deep underground.

Yunyan was sad and cried. She wanted to be with the Magical Dragon Sword for her life, but she did not expect to lose it so soon. Maybe this was fate. She could no longer see the sword again, and the magical treasure was lost forever.

What was lost could no longer come back. Yunyan was very sad, and the pain could not be eliminated at once. She could only come back to herself in the years to come gradually.

Zhang Yunyan thought of the thrilling moment, both in fear and shock. The disaster of the collapse was too terrible and horrible.

It was strange. How could that piece of jade escape from her right hand? Why did it become as red as hot coals? How could it perform such power and destroy the whole cave?

It was horrible and unbelievable.

Zhang Yunyan was shocked by the earth-shattering disaster and was very confused. She was anxious about her own life…

Suddenly she was startled, and her face was pale with fear.

By this time, Yunyan realized that her whole body was immersed in water. Driven by her instinct, she immediately held her breath and dared not to breathe, lest she get choked and die.

She could swim like a fish in the Jade Dragon Lake of her hometown, but lost the ability unexpectedly. She didn’t know why she got the magical ability and lost it.

At the critical time of life and death, she lost the ability to survive and would helplessly get drowned. It was too terrible and too sad.

The winding hole was full of water, and she was swimming around to get out of the water for breath. But there was water everywhere and she had no place to breathe.

Soon, Yunyan felt uncomfortable and began to panic. Seeing that it was dim at the front, she knew that she could not reach the end and got very anxious.

Driven by the instinct to survive, she turned back, eager to get back as soon as possible to the cave with the stream water, which was the only place to live.

At this point, Zhang Yunyan was in a panic and confusion. She had no time to consider whether the cave of disaster existed and just wanted to get out of the water to breathe, otherwise she would get drowned here.

Trying to hold her breath, she swam eagerly. She must get out of the current as fast as possible.

At the front, it was still faint dark and she could see no end. Zhang Yunyan had been exhausted, knowing that the moment of death was coming.

It was over. Although Yunyan escaped from the chase of the devils, and avoided the devastating disaster, she could not avoid getting drowned and death. Unable to escape and help herself, she could only die in cave full of water.

There was water at front, and there was no end. There was water behind, and there was also no end.

Zhang Yunyan was trapped in the endless water and was about to die here.

She was despaired, and had been holding her breath to the limit. She involuntarily took a breath, but the sense of survival stopped her. But it only worked for a moment. She had reached her limit, and she could not help breathing in. She did it twice but it was strange that she didn’t feel choked by the water.

At the urgent moment, Yunyan had no time to think about it and had to breathe quickly until the tension disappeared and she got relieved.

At this point, Zhang Yunyan realized that she was not choked and died. Instead, she was alive and was very comfortable.

She was surprised. How could she breathe freely when she had lost the skill of swimming like fish? Why didn’t she feel like she got choked? She felt like she was on land.

Then, Yunyan coughed and realized that when she was in a coma, she was immersed in the water. After she woke up, she could breathe freely. Her fear was really unnecessary and was the self-intimidation. But it was also the inevitable reaction when she wanted to survive.

It was strange. She already had lost the ability to swim, and was unable to survive in the water. How was that?

Suddenly, an idea went across her mind and Zhang Yunyan’s heart sank. She had died, and at the moment, she was the soul after death. How could she survive after a devastating disaster where no one could resist and she was submerged in the water?

Yunyan thought of the disaster and was still scared. She couldn’t believe that she was still alive, and it was also impossible.

The power of the jade was too terrible, and even the powerful Jiuyou Sage and the Four King Ghosts were powerless to resist. The whole cave was destroyed. As a woman without cultivation, she could not survive.

She was very sad. If she had the skills like fish, perhaps there was hope for life. But it was an impossible fantasy. She had tried in that river long before, and had been choked so badly that she would have died in it if she had not landed in time.

It was certain that she did not have the skill underwater which she had got in the Jade Dragon Lake of her hometown, but somehow, she did not know its origin, nor did she know when she lost it.

Zhang Yunyan thought of that horrible moment, and sighed silently. As the jade performed its magic, she had died, and even though she could swim like fish, it was useless.

Yunyan’s face went pale, and she sat down with no spirit.

It was over. Even if she was not hit to death by the jade at the moment of the outbreak of the magic, she would have been drowned by the underground stream water. At that time, she was either dead or unconscious, not knowing that she had died, and that she was just a soul.

Zhang Yunyan’s life was over, and the unfinished vows were gone.

Her heart ached and she blamed herself deeply. The mission that the two families granted was neither achieved before her death. How could she see her parents and her adoptive parents? How to face her ancestors?

Yunyan cried sadly, and the tears flowed into the stream water which brought her grief, anger and pain away.

She had no idea what the soul would look like after death. At the moment, she realized that her soul was not afraid of water and could breathe and swim in it like fish without any resistance.

She felt sad about her death, but was a little relieved that the soul could exist, and surprised that it could do such things.

Zhang Yunyan felt very relieved. Perhaps her soul could return to the world for revenge, find the lost sister Yunxia and her older brother Yuntian who had gone away, and continue to complete those unfinished vows.

Although Yunyan had died, her soul still existed. She could not give up. From now on, she wanted to practice hard. Even if she couldn’t be powerful like Jiuyou Sage and the Four King Ghosts, she wanted to be stronger to fight for the vow of this life and her grand ambition.

When she thought of the bullies who had killed her relatives, her anger rose and she cursed in rage, “Living Yama, Feng Jiabao, though I’m dead, I will never let you go. I will kill you. I will avenge my loved ones and get rid of you for the people!”

In her anger, she punched the rock, and a thought flashed through her mind. Well, how could the soul feel pain after death?

Yunyan looked at herself doubtfully, and she pressed and kneaded herself again everywhere. Her body was complete, and she still had feelings, which was no difference from the state before her death.

She was confused and had a little hope. Had she not died?

Then, she sighed. In that doomed disaster, she had been immersed in the stream water for so long. How could she survive? It was a dream, and she should stop thinking that.

Yunyan couldn’t help but think of Green Hair King Ghost and Yellow Hair King Ghost, who were seriously injured and could not stand up after getting hit by the jade.

Now that she was dead, she could only face the reality. Zhang Yunyan’s soul no longer thought about these things and immediately went with the flow.

She was eager to explore the final destination of the stream water, hoping to escape from the terror of the “hell” and return to the world so that she could kill the enemies and find her brother and sister.

Her soul was sad when thinking of Shikong and Turtle Elf. She was grieved for the death of her two good friends, and cried.

Zhang Yunyan was tortured by the troubled thoughts. She was very painful and felt angrier.

She hoped that the souls of her two friends would still exist like hers after death. In this way, they could help each other and strive to practice for their own future and career.

Yunyan kept observing while swimming. She was calling from time to time, praying that Shikong and Turtle Elf could come out and she could see them, even though they were two souls.

She got what she wanted, and finally saw two of her close friends of life and death. She was both surprised and happy.

Zhang Yunyan’s soul heard that the two friends were still alive, and felt very envious. She congratulated them, and felt sad for herself.

She sighed and told them her sadness, “This is a terrible disaster. It’s not easy for you to survive. From now on, you must cherish your life and strive for your career.”

Shikong and Turtle Elf sighed and they felt very lucky. As life went on, they would continue to struggle.

Zhang Yunyan sighed again with tears streaming down her eyes, “I am not as lucky as you. Even though I am dead, I will not give up my mission. I will practice hard to improve my skills, so as to take revenge, and sweep away the devils in the world.”

Shikong was surprised to hear that. He looked at the familiar figure and the blurred face, and still couldn’t recognize who this is.

He was sad and surprised, “Are you really dead? Why do you look the same? Is this your soul? How can the soul have a physical body and the consciousness which is as clear as before?”

Turtle Elf also had this kind of thought, and did not believe that its good friend had died. Perhaps she was also thinking nonsense like itself.
