Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 433 Adulthood 2
The closer it got, the more the little fat fish felt the abundant energy within its body and the call from its master and the soul contract.

This is accompanied by the pain of restricted physical growth while in the sacred spring.

A burst of light appeared, enveloping Shi Yuan or Jiang Youan and Little Fatty Fish.

Then it disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had reached the forbidden area, the Holy Spring.

The sudden light disappeared, and Shi Yuan or Jiang You'an stood in front of Perez and the others, holding a chubby mini version of Jiang Yuxi.

"Owner?"

After letting out a soft, babyish cry, the little one leaned its whole body toward Jiang Yuxi, stretching out its long, lotus-root-like arms and trying to point to Jiang Yuxi's location.

"An'an, Yuanyuan, go! Master!"

She meant for Shi Yuan or Jiang You'an to put her in the spring.

As soon as the little fat fish touched the sacred spring, it turned into a beam of light and flew into Jiang Yuxi's brow.

Immediately afterwards, the sacred spring seemed to boil, with swirling smoke and mist. Jiang Yuxi's figure was hazy in the mist, with only the occasional glimmer of light reflected from her azure scales visible.

Perez and Essen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Perez told them, "When the fog clears, our sea tribe will welcome a real, adult sea princess."

Frederick, Hilcher, and Jiang Youan then calmed down and waited silently for the outcome.

Shi Yuan recalled the fleeting glimpse he had just caught.

He admitted that the mermaid princess was indeed very beautiful.

The soft light of the sacred stone spilled over the spring water, and the mermaid princess floating on the surface had skin as white as shattered moonlight, with an almost transparent luster.

Her eyebrows were curved like a crescent moon, and her eyelashes were curled and long, casting a light shadow when her eyes were closed, with tiny water droplets hanging from the tips of her eyelashes.

The lips were a pale nude color, with a slightly damp sheen as if they had been soaked in seawater.
Shi Yuan unconsciously softened his breathing, as if afraid that his breathing would disturb the female mermaid in the holy spring.

Shi Yuan: Regarding the appearance of this mermaid princess, it seems Jiang Youan was somewhat right? However, he wouldn't like a female who looks so fragile and delicate. No matter how beautiful she is, it won't work. He definitely wouldn't like her. He's not a superficial male who only looks at appearance and talent. He isn't.

On land, the sun sets in the west and rises in the east again, while Jiang Yuxi, still soaking in the sacred spring, continues to draw energy from the spring water and the energy stone...

After an unknown amount of time, far exceeding the time it takes for an ordinary royal mermaid to reach adulthood, Jiang Yuxi stopped absorbing energy, but the mist above the sacred spring still did not disappear.

The longer it went on, the more Perez and Essen frowned.

Essen: "Logically, once the princess's spirit returned to her body, there shouldn't be any problems. Why did it take so long?"

Perez: "Grandpa Essen, how long did it take me to come of age?"

Essen glanced at his strikingly similar deep blue hair, just like Jiang Yuxi's, and said, "Three days. But the little princess is already on her fifth day. In the past, it only took one day for royalty to come of age. You broke the record for the highest age in the sea race with just three days. Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, the energy the little princess absorbed should be more than ten times what you absorbed back then!"

ten times!
Perez: "Will Xixi be alright?" When he was an adult, he had suffered for a long time because he absorbed too much energy.

Now, his little princess was absorbing ten times more energy than he was, and he was worried that...

Sea creature females have higher spiritual power than female beast creatures, but their bodies are also relatively weaker.

It was as if he had traded physical strength for immense mental power. Frederick: "Are you sure this sacred spring is alright?"

Essen glared at him: "Our sacred spring in the forbidden area can't possibly be problematic! When the little princess was on the verge of death, she was put to sleep in the ice coffin at the bottom of the sacred spring, which is how she recovered." If it weren't for a traitor within the clan who moved the little princess, none of this would have happened.

Perez: "The Sacred Spring is of paramount importance to our sea race's royal family! If anything happens to it, we will all sense it." It can be said that the Sacred Spring is the foundation of the royal family's strength. Apart from the royal family, ordinary sea creatures cannot withstand the extreme cold of the Sacred Spring. If the Sacred Spring is destroyed, the sea race's strength will be reduced by more than half!

Hilcher analyzed rationally: "I heard that when Princess Cordelia was born, there were strange phenomena in the sea? Her talent was even better than yours? Could it be because of her talent?"

Jiang Youan insisted that Jiang Yuxi needed to absorb so much energy because of her high talent and potential.

Shi Yuan remained silent.

……

Jiang Yuxi, who was being worried about by everyone, really wanted to swear at this moment.

Damn it, when she first transmigrated, she thought the original owner was a cat, and she finally accepted that she had become a female cat with poor talent.

Just a few months later, it was discovered that she was actually a mermaid, and a young fish.

Mermaids, underage mermaids...

Okay, so what if it's a fish tail? So what if it's not fully grown yet?

She finally convinced herself to face the "storm" brought about by time travel once again.

As a result, at this crucial moment when she was about to come of age, the chubby baby with the nascent soul that had awakened the inherited memories but had not synchronized them with her actually told her that it was not a mermaid at all, but a merman, and even a royal member of the merman race!
She almost cursed out loud—about the way things are in this world.

It is said that life is full of pitfalls, and her beastly life was no exception.

Helpless, she could only obediently follow the method of the merman royal family from her inherited memories and condense the merman pearl.

Fortunately, this spring is full of energy, and the Mermaid King provides a continuous supply of high-level water-based energy stones.

With great difficulty, she condensed the mermaid pearl and sensed a vague power of rules: the royal family of merfolk must undergo a tribulation of lightning after condensing the mermaid pearl to truly reach adulthood.

Is she going to get struck by lightning again?!
Did he chop her up again?
Whose child gets struck by lightning when they grow up?!
Whose house is this?!
Oh, no, only her!

Ha ha.

Jiang Yuxi, who had everything ready and was just waiting to open her eyes to undergo the tribulation of lightning, truly did not want to face the cruel reality.

However, it's not that she can simply avoid facing it.

Jiang Yuxi opened her eyes, her watery eyes filled with resentment.

Seeing the worried expressions on the faces of the people in front of her, she remained silent for two seconds before forcing a bitter smile to comfort them.

Successful.

Perez and the others, who were guarding the holy spring, were about to go to meet her when they discovered that Jiang Yuxi's spiritual power was resisting their approach. Not only that, but it was also pushing them away.

At the same time, a familiar feeling, suffocating Frederick, Shi Yuan or Jiang Youan, Hilcher, and Essen, emanated from the sky above the sea...

This is... a tribulation of lightning?!
