I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

The author has something to say: The following is today's update, refill!

Note (1) The words in the quotation marks are quoted from the original story, and the vocabulary has been slightly deleted.

Let me explain:

1. This small world involves the world of Andersen's fairy tales and "Little Women". Among them, the fairy tale part is adapted from the collection of An Tongsheng's fairy tales by Translation Publishing House. It has nothing to do with other adaptations of film and television animations. There will be Many of the original elements of the author, only retain some fairy tale framework.

2. The story of "Little Women" may dismantle the CP, but not with Xiangxiang, but to want Joe and Laurie to be together. At present, I have this preliminary idea, but it has not been finalized, because the plot of Little Women will be very complicated. Later, so it depends on how you feel later.

3. Summarize Xiangxiang's skills (top ten worlds):

The first world: painting; the second world: illusion disguise; the third world: memory attic; the fourth world: swordsmanship; the fifth world: medicine; the sixth world: internal force; the seventh world : language; the eighth world: Qimen Dunjia; the ninth world: sailing and shipbuilding; the tenth world: lightness skills.

"She threw the dagger far into the waves, and where the dagger sank, the waves glowed red, as if many drops of blood splashed out of the water... The little mermaid jumped into the sea from the boat, and she felt that her body was falling Melted into a foam." Note (1)

When the first ray of sunlight shines on the sea, the little mermaid's consciousness flies lightly to the embrace of the daughter of the sky, and the moment before her beautiful body turns into foam, it is enveloped by a strange force.

Time stopped suddenly, and in an instant, as if after an incomparably long wait, a new bright soul from another world was injected into the body of the little mermaid...

When Pei Xiang opened his eyes, the strange power protecting the little mermaid's body dissipated soundlessly, time flowed again, and then she sank into the icy sea unexpectedly.

After taking a sip of the bitter sea water, Pei Xiang, who had received the memory of the little mermaid princess, immediately followed his original instinct to swim in the sea.

However, the moment the little mermaid chooses to turn her fish tail into human legs, she is no longer a sea tribe who can live freely in the water.Therefore, although Pei Xiang tried her best to save herself in the endless sea, she soon felt the loss of physical strength and mental fatigue.

She looked at the vast sea surface when the sun was rising amidst the ups and downs of the waves, thinking that if she could not get rest and rescue, this would probably be the last sunrise at sea she saw after crossing, of course, it was also the first time .

Fortunately, just when Pei Xiang couldn't hold on any longer, the five sisters of the little mermaid swam over from the bottom of the sea not far away. They surfaced and surrounded Pei Xiang, and wrapped their fair arms around each other to hug the youngest. The younger sister stood up.

"Amy, did you plunge that dagger into the Prince's heart?"

"Has the blood in his heart flowed through your legs? Why hasn't it turned back into a beautiful fishtail?"

"Our sister, what happened? Why hasn't the sea witch's potion lost its effect?"

"Has the sea witch tricked us?"

"Oh, my poor little sister, can't you talk now?"

The beautiful and sincere voices of the five mermaid princesses sounded in Pei Xiang's ears. They were swimming in the sea lightly and quickly while speaking a language completely different from the humans on land.

At this time, the princesses of the sea country all lost their beautiful long hair, and there was deep sadness and panic in their eyes. They seemed to have a premonition of some kind of loss and parting, but no one wanted to admit it.

"Let's ask the sea witch again..."

"Yes, if she lied to us, father will definitely make her pay the price."

Pei Xiang shook his head slightly, looking at the little mermaid's sisters tenderly.

She blinked her eyes that seemed to be talking, and silently stopped her sisters from looking for the dangerous sea witch. She pointed to the big ship carrying the prince and his new wife, and shook her head again, with a smile on her face. A relieved smile full of congratulations.

"Didn't you kill the prince?" the fifth princess asked sadly.

Pei Xiang nodded with a smile, gestured to the shape of the dagger, and then made a throwing motion. At the same time, resoluteness and firmness flashed across the beautiful and delicate eyebrows.She wants to convey the true heart of the little princess to her relatives when she made the choice.

The eldest princess gently kissed the little sister's cold fingers, her tone was soft and melancholy:

"Amy, you didn't use the dagger we bought from the sea witch? Yes, you are the kindest and gentle little princess in the sea country. How could you be willing to insert a cold sharp weapon into the chest of your beloved?"

"However, Amy survived. She didn't turn into bubbles and disappear on the first morning after the prince's wedding. The sea witch's curse didn't come true at all." The always cheerful and optimistic third princess said hopefully, "In this case, Can she use other methods to get back the beautiful fish tail? Get back the 300-year lifespan of our mermaids?"

The fourth princess also looked forward to it, she stared at the little sister's pale cheek with pity, and said softly:

"Even if you can't change back to a fishtail, you should restore Amy's beautiful voice, her singing is so beautiful! And her... feet, if every step is like stepping on a knife, then it should be How unbearable."

The calm second princess sighed:

"The sea witch's potion is very powerful. Unless the lord of the sea tribe thousands of years ago personally took action, it would be difficult to find other ways to relieve the curse caused by the potion. In fact, it is already a miracle that Amy didn't disappear into bubbles." .”

The fifth princess hurriedly asked: "The master of the sea clan? Who is that? Can we find him?"

Pei Xiang also showed curiosity.

The original body and the fifth princess were still young, and when the grandmother, the old queen, told the history and legends of the Hai clan, she sometimes deliberately avoided the two of them, and only discussed some scary and cold stories with the older granddaughters.

This question silenced the four older mermaid princesses. They sighed deeply, but couldn't help trembling with fear.

After a while, the eldest sister explained in a low voice:

"The Lord of the Sea Clan hates humans. He wants to turn the land, mountains and rivers into oceans and swamps. He doesn't care about the lives of all races other than the Sea Clan... If he wasn't sealed by human warriors, he wouldn't help Amy either. On the contrary, on the contrary... probably will take action to punish Amy."

The fifth princess immediately lowered her head in disappointment, and stopped asking about the Lord of the Sea Clan.

After a while, the coastline loomed in Pei Xiang's field of vision, and the five mermaid princesses sang a mournful song of departure.Pei Xiang leaned over and kissed their smooth foreheads, and said goodbye silently with a smile.

Suddenly, the eyes of the fifth princess, who was immersed in the sadness of parting, lit up, and she seemed to think of something. She hurriedly said "wait for me" to Pei Xiang, and then quickly turned around and swam towards the depths of the sea.

The remaining four mermaid princesses continued to swim forward.After they sent Pei Xiang to a large reef very close to the coast, they quietly accompanied the little sister who couldn't go home, sharing the last time together between the sisters.

Finally, the fifth princess who had left suddenly before swam back again.

"Amy, I got this dagger back. Here, take it, it may be useful."

"Ah, this, so you went to find this!"

The third princess widened her blue eyes and said happily:

"Amy should really be allowed to hold this dagger. Hey, this is not an ordinary sharp blade, but we bought it from the sea witch with hair. Amy, maybe, um, when you think about it, you can You can use this dagger to cut open the prince's chest, and try to change back into a fishtail again."

"Yes, Amy, take this dagger and don't lose it again." The second princess followed suit.

The eldest princess also agreed with the ideas of the younger sisters and was inspired.

She took off the inlaid round pearls, fiery red corals, beautiful shells and other decorations from the tail of the fish, stuffed them all into Pei Xiang's hands, and explained softly:

"Go ahead and exchange these beautiful little things and humans for food and clothes. Amy, you must take care of yourself. Our old grandmother and father are always trying to find a way. One day we will let you return to the sea of."

Pei Xiang hesitantly took the dagger that the fifth princess had found so hard, wondering if it belonged to the Sea Witch and whether it had any other special effects.

However, looking at the concerned mermaid princesses, she didn't say much, but nodded obediently, showing a sweet and grateful smile.

After the figures of the five mermaid princesses disappeared into the sea again, Pei Xiang did not rush to leave the secluded reef, but endured hunger, weakness and the increasingly scorching sun to cultivate his internal strength.

She is not a simple sea tribe who doesn't know much about human society. She can fully imagine that if she appeared on the coast alone at this time, wearing a beautiful dress specially customized for the prince's wedding, holding precious pearls and corals And the treasure under the sea, and she is a very beautiful dumb girl, she will be greedily coveted by many people with malicious intentions.

Therefore, she had to accumulate some strength before her physical strength was completely exhausted, and then go ashore when it was dark and no one was around.

Of course, given that this body was a mermaid princess before, and her legs were transformed by drinking the sea witch's potion, Pei Xiang was somewhat worried about whether he could cultivate his internal strength at this time.

Therefore, before practicing, Pei Xiang carefully checked his physical condition again.After a while, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Xiang found that the general condition of this body was similar to that of ordinary humans.Of course, there must be some differences, such as being very close to water and so on.But from the current point of view, those differences do not affect Pei Xiang's cultivation of internal strength, and can even have some auxiliary effects of getting twice the result with half the effort.

To be honest, Pei Xiang didn't fully understand the mysteries of those differences. She knew that some areas had already touched the blank range of her cognition, which could not be fully explained by the knowledge system she currently mastered.

What's more, after Pei Xiang crossed over, although he prevented the little mermaid's body from turning into foam and disappearing between the sea and the sky, the power of crossing did not eliminate the troubles of the little mermaid's body.

For example, she is still unable to speak at this time, and every step she takes still feels like stepping on the tip of a knife, and she will bleed...

"This is a magical world with fairies, elves, witches and witches..." Pei Xiang closed his eyes and thought to himself, "The fairy tale of "Daughter of the Sea" has come to an end, but I don't know that there are warriors and demon kings in this vast land. How many miraculous things are happening on the mainland."

At night, the sea breeze whimpers, and the waves beat against the rocky coast.

Pei Xiang woke up from meditation, she got up and stretched her waist, a trace of inner strength just cultivated in her body flowed slowly, the slight warmth and reassurance made her look happy.

However, this joyful and relaxed feeling didn't last long before being crushed by the sharp pain from the soles of his feet.

"Hiss—" Pei Xiang took a sharp breath.

She frowned, and slowly lowered her head to look at the feet that just took a step, and instantly remembered the scenes of dancing for the prince in the memories of the little mermaid.The little mermaid in her memory smiled without any haze. When she has love, she no longer fears the pain of stepping on the tip of a knife...

But Pei Xiang couldn't do it.

"Fortunately, in the last world, I retained my lightness skills." Pei Xiang secretly rejoiced.

In Pei Xiang's memory attic, she did not know who worked with her to develop a little trick to truly step on the snow without a trace.

——With a special internal force circulation route, the external internal force is thinly wrapped around the soles of the feet.After using it, although it still looks like walking on flat ground, it actually floats off the ground and walks in the air, without even using the occasional use of the ground when performing ordinary light kung fu.

Of course, this technique consumes more internal energy, and it does not have the effect of speeding up, dodging, or flying to climb heights. It is not of much benefit in actual combat, but it is quite suitable for showing off and being handsome, and it can also be used to fool people.

Thinking of the solution, Pei Xiang's heart relaxed a little, and then his face became serious again, because the difficulties she was facing right now hadn't lessened a bit.

With the little internal strength that Pei Xiang has cultivated so far, it can't even protect half of a little toe, let alone a complete pair of feet.

"No matter what, I have to enter human towns as soon as possible to solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and then travel and study around the mainland, trying my best to find a way to dissolve the power of the sea witch's potion. Alas, I can't use my internal energy to walk floating and be unable to speak for the rest of my life. "

Looking at the high and low outlines of human towns in the distance, Pei Xiang thought for a moment.Immediately, she conveniently packed up the treasures and daggers given to her by the mermaid princesses, and then took the first step with a tense mind.

As soon as the foot landed, the piercing and sharp pain suddenly passed through the white and tender sole of the foot again. There was no wound, but traces of blood were printed on the dark gray reef, which was washed away by the water droplets splashed by the waves...

Pei Xiang's eyes slowly turned red, and the tears overflowing physiologically wet the curly and slender eyelashes, making her vision a little blurry...

The long ordeal did not ease until she stepped off the rocks and soaked her aching, swollen feet in the icy cold water.

"How did Yuanshen smile like a flower while dancing?" Pei Xiang murmured in his heart.

She squatted in the sea water submerging her calf and did not want to get up.Because once she walks again, the pain like a knife will come immediately, and she can't even cry out the pain at this moment, don't forget, she is still a mute.

"No, I can't be so coquettish anymore." Pei Xiang pursed her lips and lowered her eyes. After resting for a few minutes, she finally made up her mind, "Since the pain on my feet can't be relieved for the time being, let's just fight the pain with poison to the end." , the right is to cultivate the body."

Thinking of his own progress in the way of swordsmanship and all kinds of weird dangers on this continent, Pei Xiang's brows became firmer.

She stood up slowly, letting the three-point sword intent in her soul wander and moisten her body.The majestic and pure sword intent galloped forward with an incomparably sharp and majestic aura, whizzing past every corner of this body, and everywhere it went was undergoing uninterrupted destruction and repair, over and over again, endlessly.

Now, not only did Pei Xiang's feet hurt, her whole body started to hurt, no, it could be said to be even more painful.

The pain caused by the potion can only reach the level of ordinary sharp blades, but Pei Xiang's sword intent has been polished and comprehended in many worlds, and it is close to the Tao, and the pain it brings is truly deep into the bone marrow.

But Pei Xiang is the master of this sword intent, and it is her soul that produced this sword intent, so the sword intent will not really hurt Pei Xiang no matter what.

It is just constantly sharpening the master's newly acquired flesh and blood, making it adapt to its existence and tolerate its strength. Therefore, after the destruction, repair and healing will follow.

With the continuous destruction and repair of the sword intent, Pei Xiang temporarily ignored the pain in the soles of his feet, and walked towards the shore with the sea water.

She thought that if she endured such pain in order to become stronger, she would be happy.Probably because of this psychological transformation, she no longer burst into tears because of the boundless pain.

At the same time, beyond Pei Xiang's perception, the dagger she was carrying trembled slightly, emitting a faint black glow.

The light fluctuated from big to small, flickering frequently with the sword intent wandering in Pei Xiang's body, it seemed to resonate with excitement, and seemed to be attracted by the strange power scattered in the air.

A faint light flashed across the night sky, and then escaped into the deepest part of the abyss under the sea. The arrogant monarch who had been sealed for thousands of years slowly opened his cold black eyes, and then slowly closed them...
