I’m Trapped in a Cube - Chapter 190

That pool of clear water began constantly changing forms.

Sometimes it crawled over the shells like a slime, sometimes it transformed into a bird, flapping on the ground but unable to fly no matter what…

Finally, the clear water expanded and became a water pool, but the golden light seemed still unsatisfied. It continued changing, controlling the water pool to begin gushing forth.

“This is… the Wishing Fountain?”

Mo Ling somewhat couldn’t believe the scene before his eyes, but this fountain was indeed identical to the Wishing Fountain, whether in size, shape, or details, everything matched perfectly.

“I never thought the Wishing Fountain was actually created this way.”

This also reminded Mo Ling of the internal details he had seen before of that little sprite:

Its body was like a soft ball of yarn woven from golden light, without any organs or core, unlike any known creature.

The water flow within the Wishing Fountain was very ordinary, but the golden light inside was very special.

After seeing that the golden light had sunk into the water flow, the Purple Gauze Creature began shrinking its body.

The sky-covering purple sky net began falling, constantly curling and folding inward, hiding the gauze spread across the sky within the creases.

Before long, the Purple Gauze Creature had contracted into a small mass, transforming into the appearance of a little sprite.

Compared to when it was spread out, the gauze creature moved very slowly at this time, contracting while shaking off the dirt caught in its gauze.

When wrapping the sea turtle with gauze nets, the gauze had also become wet. Now all this moisture was being constantly expelled, turning into raindrops falling from the sky onto the already moist muddy sand.

This also caused sand rain to fall from the sky, as the gauze had been covered with sand during the recent battle, which was now being shaken off as it rolled.

Without the gauze blocking it, the stagnant windstorm blew again. This purple little sprite faced the windstorm and plunged into the Wishing Fountain.

At the same time, Mo Ling also quickly approached, flying into the Wishing Fountain to see what was actually happening in that spring water.

After a while, the Purple Gauze Creature had shrunk into the appearance of a little sprite.

Identical to the Wishing Fountain’s little sprite in appearance, but this sprite’s color was purple, its entire body woven from purple light with dense gauze folded within, delicate and intricate.

The golden radiance was completely restrained, showing no external traces whatsoever.

As soon as the purple little sprite plunged into the Wishing Fountain, it arrived at an unknown water flow space.

This was the place the Wishing Fountain later used to “entertain” wishers.

However, Mo Ling could still see golden light occasionally overflowing from the depths of that water flow, as if it hadn’t completely adapted yet.

It couldn’t even control its own behavior, bouncing around the water flow space like a pinball. After hitting the water surface, it would merge into it, then immediately accelerate and fly out from the water flow again.

It repeated this cycle continuously.

But the golden light remained tireless, like a mischievous child, circling around the central purple little sprite.

Not long after, the golden light in the water flow noticed the outsider and flew out from the nearby water flow.

At this time, the golden light was still as restless as when it had been held in the Purple Gauze Creature’s hands.

The purple little sprite seemed very anxious, floating around in the water flow space as if searching for something.

Until that ethereal and melodious voice came from the little sprite transformed from the Purple Gauze Creature, the golden light finally stopped.

“Stop playing,” the Purple Gauze Creature said, looking at the wildly bouncing golden light with some helplessness.

After hearing this, the golden light finally stopped bouncing randomly and instead rolled to the front of the Purple Gauze Creature, staring at it blankly.

Though the golden light wasn’t large, the Purple Gauze Creature fearfully stepped back, seemingly afraid of it.

“This Purple Gauze Creature is actually afraid?” Mo Ling found it hard to believe.

The sky-covering purple sky net just now was still unforgettable to Mo Ling.

This creature with such terrifying power was actually afraid of the golden light before it.

What exactly was the origin of this golden light?

Just as Mo Ling was thinking, the golden light changed.

Golden threads released from the light orb, beginning to constantly interweave and weave. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into the appearance of the purple little sprite, except its entire body glowed with golden light, appearing very sacred.

Thus, two little sprites of different colors faced each other, creating a very beautiful scene.

The golden little sprite imitated the actions of the purple little sprite before it, also making a fearful expression.

A clear and gentle voice came from its mouth, “Stop playing.”

It seemed to be repeating the Purple Gauze Creature’s words.

“Are you learning from me?” the purple little sprite asked curiously.

“Are you learning from me?” the golden little sprite also learned to say, speaking the exact same words.

Not only that, but the golden little sprite was also adapting to its new form, beginning to try flying around everywhere in the space. Its flying posture was also very strange, like being grabbed by someone and swung around, completely without grace.

As it flew, it began playing again, like a deflated balloon, rapidly bouncing around in the water flow space, sometimes plunging into the water flow, sometimes suddenly flying out.

While flying, it also made “whoosh whoosh whoosh” sounds, seemingly imitating the windstorm outside.

What Mo Ling didn’t expect was that when this golden water flow flew in front of him, it actually stopped and looked at him curiously.

“Are you learning from me?” After saying this to Mo Ling, it paid him no more attention and continued bouncing around.

Mo Ling suddenly realized that this golden little sprite also had the ability to penetrate historical virtual images and see the future.

However, at this time it didn’t seem to care about his existence, like an innocent child, only focused on playing.

In comparison, the Purple Gauze Creature seemed very anxious. It flew into the path of the golden little sprite’s advance and blocked it.

Looking at the dazed golden little sprite, the Purple Gauze Creature tentatively placed its hand forward, using its slender thumb and ring finger to form a circle.

That was the shape of an olive.

Seeing this scene, Mo Ling was greatly shocked.

“This is the gesture Shen Ping made toward that blue olive when mirage vapor was first discovered!”

Could it be that the Purple Gauze Creature wanted to make a wish to the golden little sprite?

What connection did this golden little sprite have with the blue olive recorded in the accounts?

If not for the Purple Gauze Creature making this gesture at this moment, Mo Ling would never have connected the two.

Seeing this scene, the golden little sprite that had just been running around everywhere suddenly quieted down.

It looked at that familiar gesture, as if falling into some kind of memory.
