Ye Luoli: The tides rise and fall, the moon whispers softly.

"No! Everyone!" Xinling looked at the six little fairies lying on the ground, lifeless, and felt extremely regretful because of the powerlessness she felt in being unable to stop it.

But the next moment, the same light shone on Xinling's body—Mandora's curse had also backfired on her.

However, Xinling, being a Saint-level fairy, was affected much later than the other lesser fairies. (Baidu search indicates she's a Saint-level fairy, but this is highly controversial, so let's not delve into it further.)

Am I going to become a puppet too?

"No, this is Mandora's curse! She wants to turn us into lifeless dolls! I can't let her succeed!" Xinling knew that all of this was designed by Mandora to prevent them from protecting the human world.

However, despite all this, Xinling could not prevent her from turning into a doll. Now, there was only one way to break this deadlock.

"Ye Luoli Magic, in my name I offer up my primordial spirit!" Xin Ling decisively summoned her scepter and offered up the power of her primordial spirit.

"I cannot break Mandora's curse—that all fairies in the Ye Luoli Wonderland will turn into lifeless dolls if they enter the human world. So I'll add a condition to this curse!"

Xinling's current magical power is insufficient to contend with Mandora, so she cannot break the curse and can only add one condition:

"The Ye Luoli magic will only allow them to regain life and magic once more if they can find a master who truly loves them and form a contract with him!"

Xinling's scepter crashed heavily to the ground, and her magical power enveloped the six lifeless fairies, adding this condition to Mandora's curse.

Moreover, Xinling knew that without someone to protect them, the safety of the six fairies could not be guaranteed. Therefore, she took a desperate gamble and cast the spell again: "Ye Luoli Magic, I am willing to become their protector with my own body!"

The light on Xinling's body dissipated. She summoned her primordial spirit to seal herself. Although she would no longer turn into a doll, the immortal power she could use was greatly reduced. In fact, if she wanted to use a large-scale spell, she would have to use the power of her primordial spirit.

The crisis of the curse has been resolved. In order to help the six fairies find suitable masters and form contracts, Xinling established a transit station between the fairy world and the human world—the Ye Luoli Doll Shop.

【Fairyland, Huayan Mirror Palace】

Shui Qingli and Qianqian were observing the movements of Xinling and her group who had escaped to the human world through the feigned-death Dark Silk. Qianqian was deeply puzzled when she saw the conditions Xinling had set using her primordial spirit power—

[Water Prince, I don't quite understand. Why does Xinling insist that the fairies find human masters? Can't friends and partners have feelings and genuine affection? And isn't it strange to have fairies who have lived for who knows how long to call a child who is only a teenager "master"?]

After all, Qianqian is just a set of data. She really doesn't understand such strange things as emotions, nor does she understand the strange thought processes of humans (fairies).

“Perhaps, Xinling just enjoys fawning over humans?” Shui Qingli said, frowning.

He didn't know where Xin Ling's bizarre thought process came from, but recalling how Xin Ling favored the human world in his previous life, he suddenly felt that it was not surprising that she would do such a thing.

"What an eccentric fairy," Qianqian couldn't help but sigh.

"Qianqian, let's go back. We'll probably see those fairies who escaped to the human world and the newly formed Ye Luoli warriors soon," Shui Qingli said to Qianqian after disconnecting from Anling.

The war between Xinling and Mandora was over, and Shui Qingli was not allowed to interfere in anything by Qianqian, so she felt rather bored and wanted to go back to her own home.

"That timeframe has passed. Now it's time for humans to form contracts with the fairies and become Ye Luoli warriors," Qianqian said. "Water Prince, we can just wait for them to come to us in the Fairy Realm."

"Hmm." Shui Qingli had no objection to this matter. However, the memory of his inexplicable encounter with Wang Mo by the Clear Water Lake in his previous life still left him speechless.

Forget it, let's go back to the Pure Water Lake first. He must set up a barrier in advance to prevent outsiders from having a chance to break in.

"Ye Luoli magic, water droplets condense, water crystals." Shui Qingli summoned a water channel and left Yan Hua Mirror Palace directly.

Mandora, slightly battered from her fight with Xinling, narrowed her eyes and looked at the empty roof of the Huayan Mirror Palace.

She thought she had just sensed some fluctuations of immortal energy there. Was it just her imagination?
