I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

"Amy, will you marry me?"

Prince Arthur poured out the love in his heart, and his blue eyes were full of hope and tenderness.

After experiencing the initial surprise, Pei Xiang quickly calmed down, and at the same time clearly realized that he didn't feel his heart beating right now.

Looking into the eyes of his admirer, Pei Xiang shook his head firmly, and rejected His Highness Prince's marriage proposal without delay.

"I am very grateful for your love and appreciation, Arthur," Pei Xiang wrote in magic words, "but I'm sorry, I have always regarded you as a brother and a friend, and I have never fantasized about love, not now, nor in the future will change."

"Amy..."

Arthur murmured hoarsely, his bright starry eyes dimmed little by little, loss and melancholy gradually stained his handsome face.

"Don't reject me so firmly. Maybe you just never thought about this question. I know that my marriage proposal is very hasty, but my admiration for you is absolutely not half false."

Pei Xiang sighed silently, she didn't want to hurt her friend, but if she didn't like it, she just didn't like it.She shook her head firmly again, then turned and left without hesitation.

After walking through the long dark corridors and winding wooden stairs, Pei Xiang returned to her bedroom in Danfeng Castle.

When she was alone, Esfar, who had been silent in her mind for a long time, concluded aloud:

"He has a good eye, but he doesn't know you well enough. It's normal that you don't like him."

Pei Xiang lowered his eyes to wash up seriously, and was methodically busy with the chores before going to bed, ignoring the voice in his head.Because before that, she had already decided not to speak to this proud Mr. Monarch within three days.

The master of the sea clan who was sealed in the abyss of the sea did not receive a timely response, but his mood was not affected much. It can even be said that his mood at this time is much better than that of the previous few days.

As a result, His Majesty Asfar, who was in a good mood, slowly closed his eyes and entered a state of doze, with a very faint and relaxed smile on his lips.

Esfar on this side fell silent without asking a single question. On the other side, Pei Xiang, who was busy, took a breath, and the movements in her hands instantly increased her strength. Finally, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. .

She had indeed made up her mind and planned to ignore Asfar for the time being.But after he didn't get a response from himself, he didn't even ask a question, just closed his eyes and rested his mind, his mood was so peaceful and happy, it was, it was... so angry!

Puffing his cheeks, Pei Xiang intentionally hummed a song praising human wisdom and hard work in his mind, and then moved Cui Cui to the head of the bed amidst a cheerful and warm melody of "Hey, Hey".She leaned over and kissed the emerald green leaves lightly, before blowing out the candles and going to bed.

In the darkness, His Majesty Asfar who was "woke up" took the initiative to say "good night and sweet dreams".

Pei Xiang rolled over on the big soft bed, and suddenly lost his temper.After a while, she fell into a sweet dreamland.

If there is no accident, this night should have slept soundly until early morning as usual.

However, before dawn, Pei Xiang, who was comfortably nestled in the quilt, suddenly groaned in pain.Immediately, her originally pink and healthy cheeks quickly lost their color and became pale and pale. Big drops of cold sweat slid down from the tip of her forehead and nose, and soon left faint water-colored wet marks on the pillow.

At the same time, Asfar, who was far away in the abyss of the sea, suddenly opened his eyes, and the coldness infested the space he was in.

"The remaining potion curse..."

Esfar judged in a blink of an eye where Pei Xiang's pain came from.At the same time, he also judged that if he relied on Pei Xiang's own strength to resist the danger this time, it would be difficult to get through the crisis without any danger. Even if he managed to escape the curse and save his life, it would be nothing more than a tragic victory.

Without any hesitation, Esfar quickly separated part of the original magic power, and then landed on Pei Xiang's side along the "channel" established by the dagger in the void, and directly attached to Cui Cui, who had been watered by Pei Xiang's blood for a long time body.

In the blink of an eye, the magical plant with only green leaves "lived" over. It quickly grew taller, and produced a jet-black bud like black jade in one go.

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the bud to bloom slowly, a palm-sized elf broke through the petal package and walked out, then landed on the carpet silently with a serious face.

A burst of magical light flashed, and the cute elf the size of a palm quickly turned into a grown man with broad shoulders and long legs.

"Amy, wake up!"

Esfar, who appeared on the mainland with a magic seed, leaned slightly, raised his hand and gently touched Pei Xiang's forehead, injecting an extremely pure and gentle magic power into her body.

After receiving help, the pain in Pei Xiang's whole body eased slightly, and after a while, she finally struggled to wake up from the terrible nightmare.

The moment she tried to open her eyes, Pei Xiang only felt a cold and violent force pulling her body, as if it could tear her apart at any time.

"Amy, listen to me carefully."

Esfar continued to inject his original magic power into Pei Xiang's forehead, but this time it didn't go well, and he was even rejected.Because Pei Xiang, who realized that he was in danger, subconsciously rejected any energy of unknown origin.

"I'm Esfar," the strange and friendly man quickly explained in Pei Xiang's familiar voice, "We overlooked one thing before. Do you remember the conditions for the little mermaid to continue to live? It is to marry the prince and get His love. You turned down the marriage proposal of a human prince last night, just touching the curse left by the potion."

"What will happen if the curse breaks out?" Pei Xiang had a question in his eyes.

"Before the sun rises, this mermaid's body will turn into foam and disappear completely. Amy, I will use my original magic power to help you clear those curses now. Don't resist my magic power with sword intent..."

Pei Xiang's consciousness gradually became blurred again, and she used up her last gleam of clarity to glance at Asfar who was standing by the bed, and thought that she was pretty good-looking.Immediately, she was overwhelmed by boundless pain.

But before she completely fell into a coma, she chose to trust the people around her.

Therefore, the sword intent wandering in the body no longer rejected Asfar's original magic power. On the contrary, after realizing that the newly injected power was very pure and more resistant to the power of the curse, Pei Xiang's sword intent exuded An atmosphere of joy and joy not only immediately accepted Esfar's power, but also further captured and absorbed it.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the remaining curse power stimulated in Pei Xiang's body was completely destroyed and wiped out, and almost two-thirds of the original magic power that Esfar secretly separated this time was consumed.

The Lord of the Sea Clan glanced at Pei Xiang's gradually unfurling brows, and was about to leave Cuicui's body, and controlled the remaining magic power to return to the abyss space again.

It's just... Jianyi, who had just experienced an extremely difficult battle of attrition, was unwilling to give up the "food" on his lips, and even chased after Esfar before he was about to leave.

Hearing a clear and clear cry, Esfar's remaining original magic power was "bitten" by the domineering sword intent for a small part.Caught off guard, Asfar's consciousness leaked a breath.

Esfar: "..."

There was a faint sound of thunder from the sky, and another powerful and dangerous aura followed, getting closer and closer.

The Lord of the Sea Clan, who left the abyss for the first time in a thousand years, frowned. He sighed helplessly, and then whispered a strange syllable with a long aftertaste. Tao's eyes searched everywhere but returned in vain.

But in such a short moment, Jianyi secretly "bited" Esfar's original magic power through the contractual relationship between Pei Xiang and Cuicui.

"... Forget it, they're all out anyway, so let's stay for a while longer."

Recalling the little remaining original magic power, Esfar drew a blood-colored ancient magic pattern on his forehead, temporarily preventing outside detection.Then, he sat down on the chair by the window, quietly thinking about the various choices he had made in this short period of time...

It was dawn, and when the warm sunlight fell on everything on the earth, Pei Xiang, who passed by death, slowly opened his eyes.After the initial confusion, she was startled by the magical power in her body, and then noticed a man with a deep and stern temperament in the bedroom.

"Esfar?" Pei Xiang spoke slowly, and said the first sentence from time travel in a hoarse voice.

"Amy, it's a pleasure to see you with my own eyes." Asfar got up and walked to Pei Xiang's bed, nodding slightly, "Congratulations on finding your voice again. I think the curse of the sea witch's potion has been completely lifted gone."

Pei Xiang blinked lightly, and found that he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly.

"Thank you, Esfar, thank you for helping me, I will always remember this friendship."

Esfar bent his lips and smiled very lightly, but it could be felt that his attitude towards Pei Xiang was not alienated, nor was there any arrogance.

He appeared, and came across the ocean and mountains before the sun rose, with a dignified and calm demeanor, but he was still the friend who peacefully communicated with Pei Xiang in his consciousness.

"Have you lifted the seal now? Have you fully recovered your strength and freedom?" Pei Xiang asked with concern.

"The seal has not been lifted, and my body is still sleeping and recuperating," Esfar explained softly. "It will probably take a long time before I can recover my strength and walk out of the abyss."

"Helping me this time will definitely prolong your recovery time."

Pei Xiang thought of the abundant power that helped her exorcise the curse of the potion, and knew that Esfar must have paid a certain price for his appearance on the mainland this time, and the gratitude in his heart was even greater.She bent her eyebrows and silently remembered the matter of repayment.

"Esfar, how long can you last like this? Is there anything I can do? Also, why can't I see your appearance clearly?"

Esfar pondered for a moment, he didn't immediately answer Pei Xiang's three questions, but asked:

"Amy, do you remember what I looked like before I fell into a coma?"

Pei Xiang nodded, and said with a smile: "Although it's just a quick glance, I have an impression."

"What do you think?" Esfar said in a deep tone with a serious face.

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows in surprise, and suddenly thought of a conversation between her and Esfar a long time ago.

At that time, she wondered if the lord of the Sea Clan looked good, but Esfar never gave a positive answer because he didn't know the aesthetic standards of human beings and couldn't give a suitable answer.

"I think it looks pretty." Pei Xiang no longer curled up under the quilt, she slowly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, "Is that what you usually look like?"

Esfar took a serious look at Pei Xiang, and found that she was sincere at the moment, not at all perfunctory when she was smiling and deceiving, so she gave a reserved "hmm", and then slowly dissipated the blurred facial features. His little magic revealed his true face.

"The original magic power I brought out this time is almost consumed, and I can't return to the sealed place silently in a short time. Therefore, I will stay outside for a while and wait for the magic power to recover."

Pei Xiang was slightly taken aback. Based on her understanding of Esfar's style of acting, such a small mistake should not have occurred, so...

"Esfar, is my previous situation worse than you expected? Can the sword intent and the magic power I have accumulated these days be unable to resist the sudden burst of curse power?"

"That's not true. Before I came, the strength in your body has been protecting you to the utmost, and you haven't been completely defeated."

Having said that, Esfar thought of something, suddenly chuckled, and the flash of joy between his brows and eyes softened his stern facial features.

"Actually, it was my negligence. I underestimated the spirituality of Sword Intent and her desire to chase after powerful power. She is very resilient, and she is worthy of the original soul power condensed by your will."

Pei Xiang didn't understand, or in other words, she never imagined that the sword intent representing herself would secretly "bite" Asfar's magic power.She refused to admit that her subconscious mind would make such a robbery of "revenge for kindness".

It's just... inexplicably a little guilty.

Thinking of the abnormally abundant and pure magic power existing in her body, Pei Xiang seemed to realize something, her eyes wandered quietly, looking left and right...

Hey, where is Cui Cui?

Just when Pei Xiang's eyes fell on the empty flowerpot, His Majesty Asfar, who was still in a dignified and dignified manner just now, suddenly closed his eyes.Hearing a "bang", the tall and straight Sea Clan monarch finally exhausted the last bit of magic power to maintain his dignity, and instantly returned to the appearance of a palm-sized elf.

Pei Xiang lowered his head slowly, looking at the little guy who was sleeping soundly on the quilt, his mood was complicated and unspeakable.

She knew why the flower pot was empty, she also found Cui Cui, and finally got the cutie she had been longing for, but...

——This is not the kind of cutie I want!
