Chapter 145: Water God's World

Under the starry sky, many people were forced to fall into a deep sleep.

Star fragments dropped to the ground, dragging the beings on the Eye of the Storm into the dream, including the beings who hadn't slept or didn't have the physiological function of sleep.

This star trial was different from the previous two star trials. More precisely, the previous two trials were used just to help Yun Xi get acquainted with the star trial. It wasn't just a corner of a vast nightmare world, or that had only involved the beings Yun Xi was around at that time. This time, the dream the stars created for Yun Xi was a real world!

For this star trial, hundreds of stars burned themselves of their own initiative. They turned into star fragments, floating around in the whole Sky Sword God's Domain. Most of them were just beautiful stardust, only the fragments in the Eye of the Storm contained the essence of stars.

Everything was for one person: their beloved Starchild, Yun Xi.

...

Crack! Crack!

Yun Xi heard the familiar sound. It was from the burning bonfire.

Starting again?

After twenty-one days, the star trial had started again. This time, how hard would it be?

The stars even dragged the eighth-ranked Apostle, the White Holy Dragon, into Yun Xi's star trial. Did they want Yun Xi to challenge the dragon now? The dragon could kill him as easily as blowing off dust!

Yun Xi hoped that he could obtain more good seeds this time. They had better be as good as Hua Huo's Seed that could be absorbed by him perfectly and immediately. Yun Xi had prepared himself to die thousands of times in this trial.

He opened his eyes.

"Gee?"

The scene in front of him was out of his expectations. There was no endless dark forest, nor lifeless old stone towers. The sun was shining brightly. Scarlet clouds floated in the distant sky, the sunlight dyeing them golden, as if they were shy girls that were pulling up their socks.

Behind the gold-red clouds, the sun exposed itself. The sunlight shone on the whole world, covering a layer of gold clothes on everything on the ground. Endless white mists rose from the ground, making the world look like heaven. Under such an environment, the bonfire in front of Yun Xi looked so inconsistent with the world.

"Weapon system! Spoil Container! Forge System!"

After opening the three menus, Yun Xi finally confirmed that he was in the star trial and not a simple dream with a bonfire. Crane Wings Twin Swords were more handy in the trial world. Perhaps it was because Yun Xi had obtained their entities in the real world. Looking at Crane Wings Twin Sword, Yun Xi obtained more information.

Crane Wings Twin Sword: Forged by Ou Ye Zi the Godly Craftsman. After thousands of years, they have become a pair of artifacts.

Property One: The higher the holder's talent is, the more powerful the twin swords will be.

Property Two: Flying Crane Wings. The twin swords are made of top-class materials. Even a mortal can use it to perform the sword skill "Flying Sword".

Property Three: Sword Souls. After thousands of years, two sword souls were finally born in the twin swords. Only the chosen swordsman can hear their voices and be their master.

Additional Property: The twin swords can only be used by a male.

Your current state: You have been accepted by the sword souls. You can use them to perform hero-ranked attacks.

At the same time, the Stars System told him the trial world’s information and his final quest.

"The trial world's name: Water God's Fantasy Island."

"The world's background: An old fantastical creature named Water God is sleeping under the island. Every hundred years, it will wake up and look for its bride."

"A lot of Water God's believers have betrayed their god because a 'Sky Sword' has reached the island and is going to slaughter the god."

"Your final quest: Paired Choice."

"First Option: Join Water God's camp, help Water God find its bride, and you will receive Water God's reward"

"Second Option: Join the human camp, become the Sky Sword's partner to slaughter the god, and you will obtain the Sky Sword's reward."

"Optional Side Quest One: Girl Fights Evil Dragon. A brave girl is looking for an evil dragon! You can choose this side quest after you join the human camp."

"Optional Side Quest Two: The Apostle's Call. A great Apostle has reached this world. Swear your loyalty to her and become a Dragon God's subordinate! You can choose this side quest after you join Water God's camp."

"Optional Side Quest Three: The Truth about the Mist. The people on the island are living in a world that is surrounded by endless mist. Go find the secret and expose the truth!"

"Optional Side Quest Four: To Love, Starchild! Life is too short, just enjoy it! Propose to as many girls as possible! After obtaining their marriage contracts, you can have the girls' power. You are never alone!"

"Secret Quest: ??? It will be exposed after you finish three side quests."

"No!" Even though Yun Xi had known that the trial wouldn't be easy, he still gasped after seeing the final quest.

He had to defeat the fantastical creature, Water God - if he chose to join the human camp. Or he has to defeat a Sky Sword, one of the strongest people in the whole Sky Sword God's Domain - if he chose to join Water God's camp. Whatever he chose, he had to defeat a legend-ranked presence!

As for these side quests... Yun Xi was speechless. He knew the first side quest, but what the hell were the other three quests? Especially the fourth side quest: To Love, Starchild! Is it really not a joke? Propose to as many girls as possible to obtain their power... Were the stars encouraging him to be a playboy?

Why does this star trial seem so different from the usual?!

"Ok! I will choose the human camp and find Hua Huo as quickly as I can!" Yun Xi decisively made this decision in a second.

He had once done the side quest "Girl Fights Evil Dragon". Perhaps this was the only quest he was familiar with in the trial world.

Hua Huo, I will see you soon!

With this hope in his heart, Yun Xi left the bonfire.

Then, he saw a giant eye.

Chapter 146: Mask

The eye appeared without warning. Yun Xi was sure that there had been nothing there a second ago, but after he had left the bonfire, the eye had instantly emerged. The eye looked at Yun Xi and his twin swords with curiosity and confusion.

"Who are you? Where are you from? Where will you go? Why are you here?"

Yun Xi nervously gazed at the giant eye. Sweat dripped from his face. It wasn't a real eye, but formed from countless mist crystals. Tiny mist crystals reflected colorful lights in the sun, as fantastic as if a dream.

The eye's pupil was an engaging dark blue, looking like a very profound gem. It could control the mist in the air so easily. Since the trial world was named "Water God's Fantasy Island", Yun Xi had already guessed what the eye in front of him was.

Water God! It was the fantastic creature sleeping under the island, the strongest, god-like creature in this trial world!

What the hell?! He had just left the bonfire and then immediately saw the ultimate boss of the world. Yun Xi felt desperate. What should he do now?

It wasn't even "Hell Mode", it was the "Nobody Survives Mode" he was facing!

"Why don't I see my mark in your body? You... You don't belong to this world?"

Fortunately, even though it was the world's ultimate boss, Water God looked like it was still half awake and half asleep. Its voice sounded deep. The mist crystals resonated, shaking both Yun Xi's body and heart.

Undoubtedly, it was a legend-ranked creature that wouldn't be inferior to the White Holy Dragon. Its existence alone was enough to change this world's rules. It was like lightning, a storm, a volcano. As a legend-ranked being, it was as miraculous as god. Water God was undoubtedly an ancient creature that was as strong as a god!

It was impossible to defeat such a god-like creature! The difference between them was as large as the difference between a drop of water and an entire ocean. Did he still have a chance?

Yun Xi let out a sigh of relief after he realized that Water God wasn't going to kill him directly. Fortunately, he wouldn't be killed countless times immediately after he left the bonfire. Even though he could revive in the fire, he didn't want to fight against the ancient creature, Water God. The gap between the nature of their lives was too wide. It would be meaningless to repeat such combat.

"What's your name?" Water God gazed at Yun Xi with no hostility. On the contrary, Yun Xi felt kindness from its tone.

"I'm..." Yun Xi almost told it his true name. Fortunately, he remembered Mei'er's warning at the last second.

"Yun Hai!" Finally, Yun Xi said a common name in White Lotus Sword Domain.

Yun Hai the Sword Master was the whole White Lotus Sword Domain's pride. He had once helped to promote White Lotus Sword Domain to become a middle-level sword domain, and was one of the founders of White Lotus Sword Palace and a Sky Sword! People in White Lotus Sword Domain often named their children "Yun Hai" hoping that their children would be as great as Yun Hai the Sword Master.

"Yun Hai... What a memorable name..." Water God blinked.

Ah! Yun Xi suddenly realized that as an ancient creature, Water God must have lived a long life.

If Water God's true identity was the monster sleeping in the Eye of the Storm, then it may really have met Yun Hai the Sword Master in the past.

Besides, the stars told him specifically that a Sky Sword would appear in his star trial. Would it be Yun Hai?

"So, you are my old friend's descendant. No wonder that I feel a sense of familiarity from you. Just in time. After a month, my world will hold a ceremony. You can be my Apostle. I hope that you can help me find the most beautiful and excellent bride for me." Water God's Eye turned into a stream of transparent crystals and fell on Yun Xi.

Yun Xi heard a series of system beeps.

"You have chosen your camp. You have become Water God's Apostle. Once you finish choosing your camp, you can't change or betray your camp. Please play as Water God's Apostle in this world. The world line has been changed. Please help Water God find the most beautiful bride to complete its wish."

...

......

...!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yun Xi didn't expect that his lie about his true identity directly made him leave the human camp and become the Water God's Apostle.

What did this mean? It meant that he could never join the human camp to fight against this world's boss together with Hua Huo, the twin witches, Hua Yue, and Xiao Cao!

Why? Why can't I challenge the world's strongest boss together with the others? Why did the world's ultimate boss directly find me and select me to become its subordinate?

"I have lived a long, long life. To be honest, I'm tired. As this world's god, I desire change, even if it means new enemies. My old friend's descendant, can you help me look around the world with your eyes? I want to see what will be changed in this new century. The world may have boundless beauties, but only one love is needed in my life. As a god, I'm looking for a person who can span time and space, becoming my lover!"

Countless mist crystals converged on Yun Xi's face, finally turning into a silver mask, covering Yun Xi's face.

"Hence, I give you my mask. You will become my eyes, my ears, my sword, to look for my bride!"

With four white sharp horns projecting upright from the mask, the mask looked like some dragon's mark.

"Remember, you have my mask, so you can use my power. You will become the legend!"

The system beep echoed in Yun Xi's mind again, "You have been recognized by Water God. You have obtained Water God's Mask. After you wear the mask, you will obtain the fake 'Power of the Emperor'."

Chapter 147: Fake

After Water God's Eye disappeared, Yun Xi walked to the stream, looking at his reflection in the water in confusion. The silver mask perfectly covered his face, and only his eyes and mouth were exposed. No one would know Yun Xi's true appearance through the mask. Four silver horns stood on his forehead with old, mysterious rune words engraved on them.

Yun Xi had just worn the mask, but it already made him look ten years older. He looked like a middle-aged adult, revealing traces of the passing of life on his appearance. The most amazing thing was that Yun Xi couldn't feel the existence of the mask, as if it was a natural part of his body.

"What... is it?" Yun Xi touched the silver mask, feeling it was cold and smooth.

Yun Xi's fingertip caressed the edge of the mask. He could clearly feel the power inside it, a power that was far beyond his imagination. The star system automatically showed the mask's information.

Water God's Mask: An artifact that contains god's power.

Special Property One: Water God's blessing. It is a crystal transformed from a fantastic sleeping creature's blood, having incredible power.

Special Property Two: Fake Mask. The person who wears the mask will become Water God's Apostle.

Hidden Property: ??? The mask contains some secret. You’ll need to discover it by yourself.

"God's artifact..." Looking at his own reflection in the water, Yun Xi felt something unusual from the description.

Was this middle-aged man really him? Why did he see wisdom and vicissitudes in his own eyes? It apparently didn't belong to him, but it wasn't fake. He really felt traces of life inside his pupils. He couldn't even recognize himself now.

"Crane Wings Twin Swords, come back!" Yun Xi put the twin swords back in his Weapon System. Now, nothing would expose his true identity.

From now on, he was Water God's Apostle!

"This... isn't just a joke. Where can I find a bride to satisfy the Water God? There isn't even a standard." Yun Xi sat down under the tree besides the stream in a gloom.

Compared to this tough quest, he preferred to fight against the green hippo again, feeling the meaning of his life through blood and death. This world was too different compared to the previous two worlds.

On the island, he could only see bright sunlight and vibrant forests. Both the world’s size and complexity were far beyond the previous two dark worlds. No wonder that the stars needed such a long time to create this world. This time, the star trial was too complicated.

"No, I shouldn't give up now. Since this is a trial world, there must be some method to solve my problem!" Yun Xi calmly analyzed.

"First, the two camps in this world."

Yun Xi drew two circles on the ground under the tree. The first circle represented Water God's camp - Although he only saw Water God's Eye and confirmed its existence just now. It seemed that Water God was still sleeping. Only a part of its consciousness had woken up. Therefore, Yun Xi could move freely now.

It was no doubt that Water God was the strongest ultimate boss in this trial world, and according to what Yun Xi knew, its true identity was the monster sleeping in the Eye of the Storm.

The second circle represented the camp which Yun Xi had planned to join at first, the human camp. Its leader was a Sky Sword. Yun Xi didn't know who the Sky Sword was, but he knew that the Sky Sword was going to slaughter the Water God.

Sky Sword was the strongest title in Sky Sword God's Domain. From the beginning of the history of Sky Sword God’s Domain, only a dozen people had the honour to obtain this title. Each of them was a legendary hero.

Yun Xi didn't know who this Sky Sword was, but it would be a matchless swordsman that could even slaughter a god. Hua Huo, White Lotus, Red Lotus, and the Starwing Knights’ girls undoubtedly belonged to the human camp. In this case, he would be their enemy. This was the worst situation Yun Xi could imagine.

It seemed that it was hard to say which camp was stronger, because both the Sky Sword and Water God were undoubtedly super strong. However, there was a variable.

"The Apostle, White Holy Dragon." Yun Xi drew the third circle on the ground.

The third circle was close to the circle represented by Water God's camp, because it was a dragon from his ex-girlfriends' camp. It was very likely to help Water God. Besides, the "Optional Quest Three: The Apostle's Call" had clearly told him that the Apostle was naturally biased to the Water God's camp.

If so, then it would become a huge variable, a counterweight that would finally change the balance between the two camps. As an eighth-ranked creature, once the White Holy Dragon chose to help one camp, then the other camp would be defeated quickly and unquestionably.

However, would it really be that simple? Yun Xi didn't think so. The stars wouldn't let his trial be so easy. After all, this was the first time that he had to choose a camp, had four side quests, and a hidden quest. Besides, Water God didn't play by the rules. It instantly found Yun Xi and chose him as its Apostle after Yun Xi had left the bonfire.

Everything implied that this wasn't a simple world. The most doubtful point was, why was this world so real?

Yun Xi uncovered the soil beside the stream. Several earthworms wriggled and slowly moved away from Yun Xi's hands. Several small crabs were scared and immediately escaped into the stream.

No, something was wrong. This world was so real that it couldn't be called "a dream". This was just one of his star trials. Was it really necessary to create such a perfect world?

Chapter 148: Water Mist

The dark forest in the newbie trial and the tall tower in the formal trial were two different worlds, but had the same style: igniting a bonfire in the lifeless, dark world, as if a nightmare had become reality. However, Water God's world was beautiful, bright, and picturesque.

"Am I really in my star trial? Or have I been transported to another world?" Yun Xi smelt the soil in his hand in confusion.

Even though Mei'er had told him that this time the trial would be as authentic as the real world, only till he really entered the trial world did he finally understand how real it was.

"Roar!"

Yun Xi heard a frightening sound.

"Finally, the enemy comes!" The familiar sense of danger made Yun Xi return from his pondering.

Yes. No matter what this world was, his goal wouldn't change. He must become stronger and stronger, otherwise, he would be caught by his ex-girlfriends and fall into misfortune forever.

"Let me try this weapon." Yun Xi took out his indecomposable, unbreakable, newbie sword, preparing to fight.

He must finish the Water God’s quest. He must become stronger.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!" Yun Xi smelt a frightening a scent in the wind. He knew that a huge creature was approaching from a distance.

"Come on!"

Yun Xi walked to the place where the frightening scent came from.

"Roarrrrr!" With an earth-shaking roar, a white tiger that was ten metres long appeared. Its abnormal red eyes stared at Yun Xi, then it instantly pounced at Yun Xi. It leapt through dozens of metres. Its large paws broke the wind, even leaving green tracks in the air.

It was a kind of super ability! It was a hero-ranked monster!

Undoubtedly, it was at the same level as the fiery male dragon. It was a monster that had transcended the limits of flesh and blood! However, Yun Xi wasn't as terrified as he had been when he had first seen the fiery male dragon. He did feel a bit of a sense of pressure, but held no fear facing the tiger.

Was it due to Water God's Mask? Yun Xi could feel the fantastic power inside the silver mask. A refreshing feeling was released from the mask comforting Yun Xi's heart, making him keep calm even in such a critical situation.

Transparent mist surrounded Yun Xi, making his skin as flawless as dewdrop. This was a blessing from the Water God, a power from a god. His iron sword was also covered with a veil of mist, becoming sharper and colder.

"Flying Swallow!" Yun Xi leapt up, facing the giant white tiger with no fear.

In the air, Yun Xi's body was nimbler than the giant tiger’s. In an instant, he had attacked the white tiger sixteen times, exposing the frightening air combat capability of his Flying Sword. However, it wasn't as effective as Yun Xi had expected.

"Roar!" The white tiger fell to the ground. It trembled, and a few bundles of fur fell off.

"What a sturdy body!" Yun Xi looked at his iron sword. He had hewn the white tiger sixteen times, but hadn't even left a scar on its body.

"Hiss!" The white tiger became fiercer after landing on the ground. Its bloody eyes stared at Yun Xi with killing intent.

"Not bad. Taste my sword!" Yun Xi knew it was a hero-ranked monster, but it didn't scare him and instead made him feel more excited.

It was a pleasurable feeling from the bottom of his heart, as if it was a very comfortable thing to fight against the white tiger.

"Roarrrrr!!!" The white tiger lowered its body.

Its body was surrounded with countless green lights. It was the white tiger's supernatural power: Wind Blade. Compared to human beings that had to obtain magic or sword skills through study, hero-ranked creatures could naturally inherit super abilities through their bloodlines. The white tiger not only had almost invulnerable fur, but was also a natural controller of wind.

"Hiss!" Its large paw broke the wind, leaving three green traces in the air.

"Not bad!" Yun Xi brandished his sword three times, dispelling the three green traces in the air.

He felt it! He felt the difference after wearing Water God's Mask! Super ability! He had a real super ability now, blending in his body and bloodline. Water Mist. This was the name of the super ability he had obtained from Water God's Mask. After acquiring this power, Yun Xi could fight against hero-ranked beings now. Water God's Apostle wasn't just a title. He was really blessed by the Water God.

"Ice Blade!" Yun Xi understood naturally how to control the mist to form ice blades in the air.

A row of sharp, silver ice blades instantly pierced through the soil, piercing through the white tiger's belly. The first ice blade was only a metre long, but the last ice blade was three metres long! If it wasn't the white tiger but a human instead, it would have been cut open. However, the white tiger was stunned for just a few seconds. Just like the Flying Swallow Yun Xi performed before, the ice blades weren't able to break its defence too.

"Unbelievable. Is this the third rank?" Of course, Yun Xi was still a mortal, but after wearing Water God's Mask, he could see the world through the eyes of hero-ranked beings.

He was Water God's Apostle, so his hero-ranked super ability was "Water Mist". The limitless water mist on the island was like a part of his body. Every time he breathed, he could absorb a lot of water mist into his body, then turn it into shapes he imagined and controlled them to fight.

The water blade on his sword. The healing mist on his skin. And the ice blades he controlled just now. He had transcended the limits of his body and naturally knew how to control the power between the sky and the ground. He had temporarily reached hero rank. He was at the fourth rank now!

Chapter 149: Familiar Person

"Ice Blade!"

"Ice Blade!"

"Ice Blade!"

Yun Xi acted like a child who had just obtained a new toy. He played with the fierce white tiger, ignoring that it could kill him a thousand times over if its paws touched him.

Water God's blessing was far beyond Yun Xi's imagination. He gradually understood hero rank secrets during the battle, especially the ice blade transformed from mist. They seemed to be very good fit for his body, and soon after, they had become the skill he knew best.

"Ice Blade! Burst!"

Thousands of ice blades exploded at the same time. Countless fragments of ice crystals flew towards the fierce white tiger, interweaving into a vast net in the air, it was a net that could bring death!

Trees, rocks, and soil... everything was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the sharp fragments of ice crystal. They were torn to shreds immediately, and soon afterwards, they were torn to dust in the face of more ice crystal fragments, till they turned into imperceptible particles and vanished into the air.

"Roar!" The white tiger was seriously injured. Its two paws covered its head, lying on its stomach in front of Yun Xi.

"Whoooh!" It acted as if it wasn’t a bloodthirsty monster but an aggrieved puppy.

"Ok, stop pretending! I know you are ok." Yun Xi was satisfied with the ice blades' effect, but he knew that they wouldn’t damage the white tiger so much. The white tiger acted like it had come to its senses and realized something.

"Roar!" As Yun Xi had expected, the white tiger raised its head. Its pupils had turned from red to black.

The white tiger carefully walked to Yun Xi after realizing that Yun Xi wasn't going to attack it. It bent down on its forepaws and licked Yun Xi's feet, then rolled on the ground and exposed its belly, showing that it was not hostile anymore.

"Smart tiger." Yun Xi stroked the white tiger's head. He had known that there was something wrong with the white tiger from the beginning.

Perhaps it was because of the Water God's Mask, he vaguely knew about all the living beings on the island.

The giant white tiger was a natural king in the forest. It had an invulnerable body and could control the wind. This was Water God's world and naturally, the white tiger was one of Water God's subordinates. However, it had suddenly lost its sanity recently and became a bloodthirsty monster. If Yun Xi hadn't become Water God's Apostle and had the hero-ranked ability: Water Mist, probably he would have been eaten by the furious white tiger.

"Roar! Roar!" The white tiger licked Yun Xi's face, acting as if it was a puppy. Then, it picked Yun Xi's sleeve and dragged him, trying to guide him to some place.

"Where are you going?" Yun Xi sensitively felt the white tiger's intention.

"Roar! Roar!"

The white tiger wagged its tail and picked up Yun Xi to put him on its back, then ran at full speed.

"Is it a very important place to you? It has something to do with your change? Is there something wrong at that place?"

Based on his intuition, Yun Xi asked the white tiger and got its affirmation.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

As a hero-ranked creature, its intelligence wasn't inferior to ordinary humans. Yun Xi carefully made out the meaning of its roar.

"Danger! Blood! Strange person!"

Yun Xi understood. The white tiger encountered a strange person before. They had a tough fight, but there was no winner. Both of them had suffered great losses. The white tiger lost its sanity and the strange person was dying.

"Strange person..." Yun Xi guessed that it was an outsider who was involved in his trial world by the stars.

However, there was no victor in the strife between the strange person and the white tiger, which meant... probably the person wasn't one of the Starwing Knights’ girls, nor was it Hua Huo or the twin witches.

Was it a passenger from White Lotus? Or...

Yun Xi rode on the white tiger's back in deep thought. They tramped over a dozen of mountains, finally reaching the white tiger's den.

It must have been a fierce fight. The ground looked as if it had experienced a typhoon, covered with countless crushed stones and dozens of melted holes in the ground. A tall man was lying down on the ground in front of the white tiger's den. The blood under his body had dyed the ground around him red.

It was apparent that there were two types of blood on the ground. Through his mask, Yun Xi could see that one contained fierce blood power and the other one contained a mysterious magical power.

"You... are..." Yun Xi looked at the man in surprise.

The man wasn't a stranger to him, because he was the archer in red in his second star trial, who had stopped Yun Xi on the bridge countless times. More than once, his arrows had cut through Yun Xi's head and heart. Much more often, the archer just shot him through his hands and feet, stopping him from escaping from the stone soldiers' attacks. He had even been killed by the archer's twin double knives once.

In the second star trial, the archer in red had almost become a psychological shadow in Yun Xi's heart. And judging from the evaluation of the stars, the archer in red did have the highest potential amongst the four strongest enemies in Yun Xi's second star trial.

The three Childes were no match for him. He was a real genius that had the potential to reach the hero rank. If Yun Xi hadn't kissed his childhood sweetheart Hua Huo to raise the complete degree of Hua Huo's seed, Yun Xi didn't know how many times he would have been killed by the archer.

It looked like the mysterious archer had also become stronger after the trial. After all, he could end the battle between him and the white tiger in a draw now. Yun Xi wasn't sure if he could do this if he took off Water God's Mask.

Chapter 150: The Second Apostle

"He was injured seriously." Yun Xi lowered his head and touched the archer in red's back. Blood stained his fingers.

His Water Mist wasn't omnipotent. It could heal wounds but couldn't save a dying person. The archer in red was alive only because he had strong will to live, so that he could persist till this moment. Looking at his deep wounds and the messy ground, Yun Xi could barely imagine the violent battle between the archer in red and the white tiger.

"Roar!" The white tiger raised its paw, preparing to kill the strange man who inexplicably came to its den and fought with it.

At that time, the white tiger smelt no scent of the familiar humans on Water God's Island from the archer in red, so it attacked the archer with no worry. It just didn't expect that both of them would be injured so seriously in the fight.

If it hadn't met Yun Xi, it would probably still be crazy. If it had hurt the humans on the island who often came to offer it sacrifices... the consequences would be too ghastly to contemplate. After all, as the Water God's subordinate, if it slaughtered the god's people, it would definitely be punished by the god. Fortunately, Yun Xi saved it from that terrible misfortune. Now, the white tiger only wanted to eat the chief criminal who had made it go berserk.

Anyway, it wasn't a human. It's ok to eat the chief criminal, right?

"No! Little... Mu, you can't eat him. You don't need to eat humans to fill your belly, right?" Yun Xi knocked the white tiger's head and gave it a nickname "Little Mu".

Ok, Yun Xi admitted that he missed Mumu now. Upon remembering that he had joined Water God's camp and had to make enemies with the human camp, Yun Xi couldn’t stop sighing.

"Cough! Ga!"

The archer in red coughed and twitched on the ground, then gradually opened her eyes. Even though her eyes looked blank and dazed, but the will in her eyes still made Yun Xi feel surprised.

An archer must have an iron will. No matter how serious he is hurt or attacked, he never gives up, and he never steps back. To the things he insisted on, he would fight till the bitter end. Even if he died on the battlefield, he wouldn't topple down. If the human will can create a miracle, then it must include him.

"Trace... on..." He struggled, trying to release his secret skill.

No, I can't die here. I must survive. I can't give up, because I still have a mission to finish. An archer doesn't die with her hands bare!

A large amount of mist suddenly surrounded them, forming a familiar shape. Countless ice crystals reflected sunlight, reflecting a deep blue inside his pupil.

"I didn't expect to see this cursed bloodline again. Answer my questions and make your choice. Tell me, who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going? Why are you here?"

The archer in red froze. His body slightly trembled in front of Water God's Eye.

"I'm Yun Que. I come from the distant Western God's Domain. I came here for my mission." (Yun Que: skylark)

Her name was fake, and her identity was fake, but it was necessary. "Yun Que" was her title in the "organization", but it was also the name of one of the strongest people in Ten Leaves Alliance. "Yun Que" was a woman who got entangled with Yun Hai the Sword Master, and her most favourite heroine.

"Ha ha, Yun Hai, Yun Que... good names. I see. This... must be fate." Water God's Eye gazed at the archer in red meaningfully. "Very well. You’ve made your choice, and I miss this name too. He is Yun Hai and you are Yun Que, then I will let you become my Apostle too. Accept my blessing and put on my mask, to satisfy my desire!"

Countless fragments of ice crystals dropped from the sky, forming a mask in the archer in red's hands.

"Hundreds of years have passed, I'm eager to see the world's changes, I have longed to marry the most beautiful bride!"

It was different from Yun Xi's mask. It was as red as the archer's clothes, as red as blood.

"Yun Hai, Yun Que, go! Go look for the most excellent bride for me!"

At the top of the mask, a sharp red horn pointed upwards. Although the archer's mask had only one horn, but the horn on his mask was three times longer than Yun Xi's silver horn. After obtaining the red mask, Yun Que's blood started flowing backwards. Not only the blood that stained her clothes, but also the blood on the ground had also flowed backwards into her body.

"My blood flows on the ground and into the sea, tinting the whole world red!" Yun Que touched the mask, then naturally understood how to use the power inside his mask.

It was a power named "Blood". After putting on the mask, she had obtained her hero-ranked ability to control blood. Unlike Yun Xi's "Water Mist", Yun Que's mask was biased towards strengthening herself. As long as her head, especially the part she wore the mask on, hadn't been destroyed, she wouldn't be killed.

Even if her bones were broken or her heart had been torn up, she could be restored to normal by using her blood. If she went a step further, she could even reform her bones and nerve system, strengthening her physique to an inconceivable extent.

The sword is her body, and fire is her blood. This was her road, a road named "lonely hero". The mask had granted her the real hero-ranked power. Undoubtedly, it was a power that belonged to god.

"Water God..." Yun Que raised her head, looking at the Water God's Eye in confusion.

Why did the good treat her so well? The god should have detected her inapt lie and disguise. She didn't think that her secret skill could cheat a god.

Chapter 151: Water God's People

"The world needs to be changed, and you are the people who will bring those changes. So, look for the most beautiful bride for me. This is your only quest, and I don't need any other gifts. If you find the most beautiful bride, I will give you my greatest blessing."

Water God's Eye disappeared in the air after saying these words. Only Yun Xi and the archer stayed where they were, looking at each other.

"Yun Que... what a nice name." Yun Xi didn't know the meaning of the name in Ten Leaves Alliance and the story about love and hate between Yun Hai and Yun Que.

"Your name is Yun Hai? That Yun Hai?" Yun Que frowned after noticing Yun Xi's pseudonym.

Was it a coincidence?

She did know that there were many people named "Yun Hai" in Sky Sword God's Domain. However, Water God chose "Yun Hai" and "Yun Que" as its Apostles at the same time. What did this mean?

"Can you tell me where this place is and why I am here?" Since she had accepted her new identity, then she must get the situation under her control. Obtaining the greatest achievement with the minimum price. This was always her life creed.

"This is a world named 'Water God's Fantasy Island'. We have been chosen by the Water God and have to accomplish Water God's quest as its Apostles." Yun Xi tried to use the simplest words to describe the situation.

"Then what is the difficulty? The people on the island should have offered their most beautiful girls to their god willingly. Why didn't they do this?" Yun Que seized the key problem from Yun Xi's words.

Water God was a god, a legendary creature. No matter which god's domain it was, it deserved to be accorded the highest level of reception. It was too easy to a legend-ranked being to get a bride. If "Yun Hai" wasn't wrong, this was Water God's Fantasy Island, then it should be the only god of the people on the island.

How dare they disobey their god?

"In fact, a Sky Sword has come to the island and is going to slaughter Water God," Yun Xi said awkwardly. After all, he should have originally belonged to human camp at first.

"Sky Sword! Who is this Sky Sword..." Yun Que's pupils contracted.

That's right. No pain, no gain. She obtained the power, then she must use an equivalent effort to pay for it. This corresponded with her understanding about the world's rules. Since Water God's Mask gave her the hero-ranked power, then it was logical to fight against the Sky Sword for it, even she knew that the Sky Sword must be super strong.

She just hadn't known who the Sky Sword was. After all, there were a dozen Sky Swords in Sky Sword God's Domain. Although they were all Sky Sword, but naturally, some of them were stronger. Theoretically, all Sky Swords were at the same level, but people still ranked them according to their legends and combat records.

The top three Sky Swords were far beyond other Sky Swords. If this Sky Sword was one of the top three Sky Swords, they could just give up and surrender to the Sky Sword, because the three Sky Sword were titled as "Deicide". They really had killed gods!

They were the reason why Sky Sword God's Domain was one of the strongest god's domains in Eastern God's Domain. As a member of Ten Leaves Alliance, of course she knew that they were invincible.

"I don't know, but I think that the Sky Sword should be very strong." Yun Xi knew nothing about the mysterious Sky Sword.

No one knew the exact number of Sky Swords. Except for the three Sky Swords in Da Zhou Sword Domain, Da Han Sword Domain, and Da Tang Sword Domain, other Sky Swords didn't always stay in Sky Sword God's Domain. Some of them had even disappeared for thousands of years.

Yun Xi had no clue how to figure out who the Sky Sword in Water God's world was.

"In that case, we should go to investigate it. First of all, we should grasp the situation. Since we are Water God's Apostles now, we should do our best to finish the quest. Please treat this quest seriously!"

Yun Que was more stubborn than Yun Xi had imagined and had amazing enthusiasm. Quickly, they had ridden on the white tiger's back, coming to a small village nearby the forest. To the peaceful small village, the white tiger's coming got the whole village astir.

"It's Mountain Lord!"

"Is Mountain Lord angry?"

"Be quick, be quick! Prepare sacrifices for Mountain Lord!"

Soon afterwards, people respectfully carried a farm cow as the sacrifice, walking to the white tiger.

"Roar!" The white tiger triumphantly raised its paw to frighten the villagers, scaring them out of their guts.

"Stop, Little Mu." Yun Xi patted the white tiger's head.

"Roar!" The white tiger felt wronged. It slouched down, showing Yun Xi and Yun Que on its back to the villagers.

"Whoa... what! There are two people on Mountain Lord's back!"

"Impossible! Mountain Lord only follows Water God's command. How can it allow any human to sit on its back!"

"Can... can it be..." The villagers lived in the small village from generation to generation. Sometimes, the white tiger would come to eat sacrifices, and it was the greatest creature the villagers could see. They didn't believe their eyes looking at this scene. Most of the people immediately bated their breaths when they saw Yun Xi and Yun Que on the white tiger's back.

"We are Water God's Apostles. Are you Water God's people?"

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

The villagers finally realized who they just saw. They dropped to their knees one after another with tears coursing down their rough cheeks.

"Welcome, Water God's Apostles. Welcome to our village!"

"Praise the great Water God! My life has no regrets now!"

"Long live Mountain Lord! Thank you for bringing the Water God's Apostles to us!"

Chapter 152: Lu Lu

"Very well. At least, Water God is still worshiped in this village." Yun Que let out a sigh of relief.

After knowing that a Sky Sword had come to this world, she was worried that the situation had become hopeless. Judging from the situation in the village, she knew that she had been overly worried unnecessarily. At least the ordinary people in this world still thought that Water God was their only god.

She could see incomparable, pure godliness in these villagers' eyes. They hadn't betrayed their god. Even though the village was just a corner of this whole world, she could tell that Water God hadn't alienated its people by being unsympathetic to them. People didn't think that their god was an evil god. This was a critical point for them to finish their quest of "Looking for the Most Beautiful Bride for Water God".

"We need to rest a while in the village. Excuse me for bothering you." Yun Que started to carry out her plan. The white tiger's identity was more exalted than she had imagined. She had planned to apply its identity in a flexible way.

"Don't say that! It's our honour to serve you, Water God Apostles!"

"Be quick! Go prepare food!"

"And you, go pick flowers!"

"This cattle! Kill it and cook it now!"

The coming of the two Apostles was obviously a memorable story for the ordinary small village. All the villagers were fanatical, and this fact made Yun Que feel very satisfied. After that, Yun Que rested in the village head's house and found the general records of the village there. She spent the whole night remembering the history, population, land and the number of livestock in the village. Of course, she paid the most attention to the girls that were of the right age in the village.

"In this world, the marriageable age is from twelve years old to twenty-four years old. But Water God is a legend-ranked being, it should not mind the age of its bride. In that case, I should liberalize the age range. The bride should be a pure girl, and not a married woman, so the proper objective in the village is..."

Yun Que recorded and made her plan. She had almost forgotten that there was another Apostle who had the same mission. But it didn't matter, she had been used to it from a long time ago. An archer normally performed tasks alone. Moreover, she was a Phantom Archer who had the dark elf bloodline. It was normal for her to go her own way without any help.

Her bloodline was cursed and despised, so she hadn't trusted anyone from a long time ago, and so she disguised herself. With the “Blood” power the Water God's Mask granted her, her disguise had become more flawless. As long as there wouldn't be another god-like being, no one would find out that "he" was a "she", not to mention her dark elf bloodline.

...

As Yun Que read the village records, Yun Xi was walking around the village. The white tiger, who was three metres tall and ten metres long, was following behind him, acting like a kitten. Yun Que was also a Water God's Apostle, but it preferred staying with Yun Xi.

“Little Mu is a nice name.” The white tiger thought and licked its paws, accepting its new name with a quiet conscience.

"Hello..." Yun Xi stopped. He looked at a girl who was drying medicinal herbs in the sun.

The girl was about sixteen years old. Somehow, she had a pair of animal ears on her head, which looked pretty like a puppy's ears. Her face was comely and her eyes were timid and gentle. She blushed after seeing Yun Xi, which made her look even cuter. If Yun Que was here, she could have stated her name, identity, and family tree precisely. But Yun Xi knew nothing about her. He just felt that she was pretty cute.

"Tempting Heart" doesn't need a reason, does it? However, Yun Xi felt bewildered because she looked like a girl in his Starwing Knights. If she didn't have the two animal ears on her head, then he would have said that she was that girl.

"You... do you know me?" Yun Xi walked to the girl and asked.

"Yes... You are the great Water God's Apostle." The girl lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Yun Xi's eyes.

Not her? They just had the same face?

Yun Xi looked at the familiar but also unknown girl. He remembered that the Starwing Knights girl was called Lu Lu. She was an introverted girl. Somehow, she lost her memory after coming to this world and thought that she was a native girl in the village. The changes that had happened to the girl weren't just her animal ears. Yun Xi could smell the scent of herbs from her fingers and he noticed the green potions beside the girl.

"Are you a pharmacist?" Yun Xi reached out his finger, touched a few of the potions and tasted one.

The faint scent in his mouth and the cold feeling spreading in his body told Yun Xi that it was a great potion. Yun Xi even thought that she was the best pharmacist he had ever seen. If anyone in the village could be the Water God's bride, then she must be the best qualified one.

"This girl's information looks good. She has hope." At the same time, Yun Que also noticed "Lu Lu" amongst all the villagers' names.

She was only sixteen years old, but was already a talented pharmacist. She was like a crane standing among chickens in the ordinary village.

"I... You... If possible, can you give me a bundle of Mountain Lord's hair?" Lu Lu didn't know the reason, but she naturally felt intimacy from the exalted Water God's Apostle.

Why? Even though the Apostle was wearing a mask, but when she looked at him, she felt that she should be intimate with him. Her heart was beating fast, as if there were butterflies in her stomach.

Chapter 153: Tiger's Power

"Little Mu, give me some of your hair." Yun Xi turned back and caught the white tiger's ear, stopping it from running away.

"Awwoo!" The white tiger sobbed. It reluctantly lowered down its body to let Yun Xi pluck its precious hair.

Whooooooh! It had been the Mountain Lord for so many years. It had never thought that it would be plucked someday.

"Good boy. Good Little Mu." Yun Xi praised the white tiger and stroked its head.

"Awwoo!" The white tiger immediately wagged its tail excitedly.

You want some of my hair? Take as much as you can!

It raised its paw and plucked off dozens of its hairs with its mouth, then picked them up to Yun Xi.

"Good boy!" Although Little Mu was ten times bigger than Yun Xi, Yun Xi still felt that it was just an innocent child in his mind.

In some sense, its character was really similar to Mumu. As long as you treated it nicely, it would totally open its mind to you.

"Thank you, great Apostle!" Lu Lu made a stealthy glance at Yun Xi's mask, then joyfully took out various herbs from her room.

In the legends, the Mountain Lord's hair contained a special power. Its white hair could be used to make a potion that could greatly increase the drinker's strength. As the sole pharmacist in the village, Lu Lu was only a step away from becoming a third-ranked pharmacist. As long as she could make the potion called "Tiger's Power", she could register her name in the city as a third-ranked pharmacist.

If so, she could wear a third-ranked white leaf emblem on her chest, and the ordinary village would also have its special local product. To her, it was already one of her most luxurious dreams. However, it was hard to obtain even a strand of hair from the Mountain Lord. As a hero-ranked animal, its hair would never fall off naturally.

In that case, "Tiger's Power" had become a watershed to divide the pharmacists in the Water God's world. It was said that one needed to pay a great price to obtain a white tiger's hair from the priests in the city. Naturally, the small village didn't have that much money.

"There are too many!" After obtaining the white tiger's hairs, Lu Lu finally realized what a great amount of power there was in the strands of hair.

Her hand was stung even though she just touched the hairs lightly. Water God's Apostle was too great. He could order the strong Mountain Lord to offer its hair so easily!

"Don't worry. Little Mu still has a lot of hair." Yun Xi looked at Lu Lu kindly.

In the outside world, she was just an ordinary female swordsman, but after becoming a pharmacist in this world, her talent was greatly released. It seemed that her hidden talent was finally blooming in this world. Yun Xi could feel her natural talent from her skilled actions when she made the potion. Obviously, it was worthier for her to be a pharmacist than a swordsman, but her sword skill talent was also good.

As a civilian, she didn't have much choice in the outside world, because in Sky Sword God's Domain, "sword" was the most excellent thing. Parents would do their best to support their child to learn sword skills rather than anything. Apparently, no one discovered Lu Lu's talent as a pharmacist till she came to this world.

"No, no! That's enough!" Lu Lu waved her hands. Mountain Lord's hair was very valuable.

Even if the Apostle said "ok", she didn't dare to ask for more. After all, Lu Lu wasn't a greedy girl. A few strands of hair were sufficient.

"Lu Lu, don't worry. You can do whatever you like." Yun Xi looked at Lu Lu with curiosity, because she was so different from her past appearance in Yun Xi's mind.

Girls were really a mysterious presence. Even though they were linked through the seeds, he still didn't know what she was thinking. If he was still "Mei", perhaps he wouldn't see Lu Lu's shy look. Lu Lu lost her past memories and became a native in the Water God's world. However, she also exposed something she tried to hide in the outside world. Perhaps it was because this was just a dream world. In dreams, people always truly expressed themselves.

"Thank you!" Lu Lu forced herself to focus on pounding medicine in the mortar.

Her actions were light and nimble, just like her sword skill, containing a special talent. Yun Xi remembered her performance in the past and finally confirmed that this was her talent. Maybe other girls had also awakened their hidden talents in this world.

"Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!" As Lu Lu pounded the medicine, the white tiger's strands of hair started to melt in the water mixed with various herbs. Milky white liquid deposit in the mortar. Lu Lu had used up almost all the herbs she had collected, then made a bowl of the potion "Tiger's Power".

"Great Apostle, do you want to have a try? It isn't effective on hero-ranked people like you, but it tastes good!" Lu Lu nervously looked at Yun Xi. In order to prove that the potion was harmless, she licked it with her small tongue.

Yun Xi blushed, looking at the white liquid on the corner of the girl's mouth. Then, he took over the bowl and took a sip.

"Ah!" Yun Xi suddenly realized that his mouth had just touched the place where the girl's lips touched the bowl.

Was it a coincidence? Was it a... indirect kiss?

"Gee... Whoooa!" Lu Lu also realized it. Her face blushed like a ripe apple.

Chapter 154: Lu Lu's Sadness

I... Was my behavior too disrespectful? I actually did such a discourteous thing to Water God's Apostle... Whoooa! Too shameful! I feel like dying!

Lu Lu lowered her head for fear of seeing Yun Xi's face. What a failure! Her joy of making the "Tiger's Power" potion had almost all gone.

"It tastes good." Yun Xi looked at Lu Lu with a smile.

He took another sip of the milky white potion again. The potion wasn't bitter at all. On the contrary, it contained a faint scent of herbs and just melted in his mouth. Unlike what Lu Lu had just thought, the potion was effective on Yun Xi, because essentially, he was still a mortal.

He felt his stomach warm up after taking a sip. He felt his body become energetic. His strength had been permanently increased. He could now lift things which were eighty pounds heavier than before.

Don't disdain this improvement, because the human body had its limit. Maybe a person could only lift a one-hundred-pound dumbbell, but after exercising for a few months the person could lift a two-hundred-pounds dumbbell. However, when the person gradually reaches the limit of their body, even the slightest improvement needed the hardest exercise.

A sip of the "Tiger's Power" potion could permanently increase a person's strength. Even though due to drug resistance its effect would become more and more weaker, it was still a wonder potion to most ordinary swordsmen.

At least, Yun Xi had never seen any similar potion being sold in the small village he was born in. Thinking about it again, it was natural that he wouldn't have seen such a fantastic potion before. After all, the potion needed the hero-ranked White Tiger's strands of fur as a kind of material. How could ordinary people find so many hero-ranked animals in the outside world?

None of the forces in the world had successfully cultured hero-ranked units in quantity. Even though Water God was super strong, it could only gift its power to its Apostles, to let them obtain hero-ranked powers temporarily. In contrast, the "Tiger's Power" potion was more valuable.

As a girl who could make the potion, Lu Lu was unique even within the Starwing Knights. According to Yun Xi's understanding about the star trial, after he successfully finished this trial, Lu Lu could also reap some generous benefits. If there wasn't any incident, Lu Li would become the first pharmacist in his Starwing Knights.

"Did I succeed?" Lu Lu was confident of the potion she had made, but she still felt nervous before Yun Xi gave her a positive answer. No, perhaps it wasn't due to nervousness.

"Yes." Yun Xi said. This was the first high-level potion he had ever drunk.

"Yeah!" Lu Lu clenched her fists with a big smile on her face.

Her effort and preparation finally had a perfect result. After she presented the "Tiger's Power" potion to the temple in the city, she would be entitled to wear the third-ranked White Leaves Emblem. The small village would have its first third-ranked pharmacist.

"You deserve it. Congratulations!" Yun Xi didn't understand why the potion was so important to Lu Lu, but he still felt glad to see her pleased expression because now, Lu Lu's innocent, cute face was more attractive than before.

If it was her... maybe she could be Water God's bride.

This idea kept lingering in Yun Xi's heart. However, Yun Xi still hesitated if he should do that, even though this was his ultimate quest in Water God's world.

"Very good. Long time no see, Tiger's Power. She is a third-ranked pharmacist now?"

Yun Xi didn't know since when Yun Que had stood beside him looking at Lu Lu with a satisfied smile. After all. Lu Lu was the most excellent girl in this ordinary, small village.

Her parents had died when they went into the mountains to gather herbs, but she had great talent as a pharmacist so she could live alone. Now, she had even waded across the barrier that stopped most people in the world from reaching the third rank. Wherever she was, she was very excellent.

Such a girl can be Water God's bride.

"Yun Hai, write down her name. Perhaps she can be Water God's bride." Yun Que didn't hide her intention. In her eyes, since the villagers in this small village still believed in Water God, then they wouldn't refuse such an honorable thing.

"Water God's bride!" Suddenly, the bowl in Lu Lu's hands fell on the ground and the milky white potion inside the bowl scattered all over the ground.

Lu Lu looked sad and helpless, which deeply touched Yun Xi's heart.

"Yun Que, stop." He stopped Yun Que, and shook his head.

"Why... me?" Lu Lu gazed at them with empty eyes. Pearl-like tears dripped down from her eyes like two waterfalls.

"Is it really so sad to be the Water God's bride?" Yun Xi wanted to know her reason.

"No... but..." Lu Lu forced a smile and said, "In the past, none of Water God's brides had ever returned. To be Water God's bride... means... that I will leave this world forever."

Yun Xi was shocked. He understood. Lu Lu believed in the Water God, but she also loved the village. She didn't want to leave the village and the people she knew. God's order is absolute, but people's hearts are complex.

"To be Water God's bride" was a great event to the people in the world, but to the girls who would be married to Water God, it simply meant that they had to leave their home and family forever. Therefore, Lu Lu looked so depressed and even hopeless.

A strange idea arose in Yun Xi's heart. As if there was something inducing him, Yun Xi remembered his fourth side quest.

"To Love, Starchild! Life is too short, just enjoy it! Propose to as many girls as possible! After obtaining their marriage contracts, you can have the girls' power. You are never alone"

He remembered that this was a quest without restricting time and camp.

"Lu Lu, if you don't want to marry Water God... how about marrying me?"

Chapter 155: Proposal

"If you don’t want to marry Water God… how about marrying me?"

Lu Lu was shocked.

Did she get something wrong? What did the respectful Apostle just say?

He… is proposing me? Gee... Whoooa?! What's wrong with the world? Why would Water God's Apostle propose to me?

"Oh, don't force yourself. You can say 'no'. I don't mind. This is just a temporary method to help you. I think that if you agree to be my fiancee, then you won't need to leave the village and marry Water God."

Yes, "proposing to Lu Lu" was the solution Yun Xi gave. It looked as if Yun Xi was just acting on impulse, but it was the best choice. If Lu Lu agreed to be his fiancee, then she wouldn't be chosen as a candidate bride for Water God.

Besides, Yun Xi could also obtain her power in this way. Anyway, it was just a "promise" and not a real marriage, it should be ok. After the star trial finished, she would only remember that she had a vague dream, just like Hua Huo. If Hua Huo remembered what he had done in his newbie trial and the first formal trial, she would go crazy.

"Well, you don't remember it but I can tell you that we are not strangers." Looking at Lu Lu's puzzled face, Yun Xi decided to reveal some bits of information to her.

"Really? Do you also have this feeling?" Lu Lu looked at Yun Xi happily and surprised.

She wasn't the only person who had the feeling! When she had just seen Yun Xi, she didn't know the reason but she couldn't stop her heart from beating fast. She didn't often make medicine at the door, but today, she had suddenly felt that she should do this, as if she was waiting for a fateful encounter.

"In fact... me... me too..." She said nervously, but still told Yun Xi her feelings.

"I have a feeling that we had met before since I first saw you. If reincarnation is real, we must have known each other in our previous lives."

No, there weren't any "previous lives", but we are sleeping in the same cave now in the real world.

Yun Xi looked at Lu Lu's red face and trembling animal-ears, appreciating her feelings.

"Hey, stop. You are Water God's Apostle, how can you carry off Water God's bride?!" Yun Que had watched them for a period of time. In fact, she had almost been blinded by their sparkling big show of affection. She couldn't stand it any longer!

As Water God's Apostle, you were given Water God's Mask, how could you betray Water God!

"Equivalent Exchange" was an immutable rule in the world. Since they had obtained Water God's Masks, they should never betray Water God and join other camps!

"Sorry, but love just happened suddenly. I just can't control myself," Yun Xi said and waited for Lu Lu's answer, even though he knew that even he wouldn’t be convinced by this lie.

"I... I... I can't answer you now!" Lu Lu hesitated. She froze on the ground, finally, she shook her head and ran away like a little rabbit.

"I told you! She is a candidate bride for Water God. You can't do anything to her! If you really want to have a love affair, there are still several good girls in the village. You are Water God's Apostle. It should be very easy for you." Yun Que persuaded Yun Xi from a rational standpoint.

"But... I only want her!" Yun Xi couldn't tell Yun Que the truth.

He couldn't tell her that Lu Lu was a member of his Starwing Knights so she couldn't be chosen! Not only Lu Lu, all the Starwing Knights’ girls couldn't be chosen as Water God's bride!

Yun Xi felt that Water God's world was just too real. He didn't know what changes would happen to them if they became Water God's brides. He didn’t dare take the risk. He wanted to do his best to help them.

As for his proposal... at any rate, he was still wearing Water God's Mask. No one would know his true identity in this world, and after this star trial finished, they would think that this was just a dream.

The world was big. There must be other girls who could let Water God feel satisfied.

"Are you nuts? You’re doing something that isn't suitable for your identity! Don't forget where your power comes from and the meaning of your mask!" Yun Que pointed at Yun Xi's mask and warned him.

"I know. I know how powerful Water God is more than you’ll ever know!" Yun Xi touched his silver mask. He knew that he couldn't change his camp and had to fight against the Sky Sword. But even so, he still wanted to finish his quest with his will unbending! The mask was fake, but his heart was real and hot!

"I hope that you really know and keep it in your mind! This girl has been chosen as a candidate bride for Water God. I won't allow you to do anything to her!" Yun Que stared at Yun Xi as if he was something dirty.

"You don't understand. You don't understand." Yun Xi shook his head.

...

Whilst Yun Xi and Yun Que argued, Lu Lu was indulging in the ecstasy of being proposed to by Yun Xi.

How could she refuse him? How would she disagree with his proposal?! She didn’t want to disappoint him, however, the other respectful Apostle was looking at them. She just couldn't say "I agree!" in that case!

"Why? Why? Why did he suddenly propose to me? It was too forward! Shouldn't 'love' be more step-by-step and gentle? But... he won't stay in this village too long. If I don't give him a positive answer, I may lose him! Whooooa! What should I do? What should I do? Be quick, figure out a way!" The girl knocked her head with her pestle, as if this action could help her make a decision.

However, she was very happy now.

"Pit-a-pat! Pit-a-pat! Pit-a-pat!" The girl's heartbeat echoed inside the small room, ineffably warm and charming.

Chapter 156: Separate and Go Different Ways

The second day, Yun Que showed her quality as an elite of Ten Leaves Alliance. She visited all the girls in the small village and recorded their heights, three measurements, and appearances on an exquisite scroll. Taking the scroll as a reference, she picked out ten candidates as Water God's bride. She observed and rated them from all angles.

At the end, Lu Lu was still the girl who had the highest rating. Her rating was much higher than others. If they could only choose Water God's bride from this small village, then she would be the only suitable candidate.

At the same time, Yun Xi was talking with the villagers.

"Dear Apostle, recently, the income-tax man from the city increased our village’s tax rate again! Our burden is too heavy!"

"I heard that there is a new cult in the south. That is ridiculous. What do they want to do? Aren't we all Water God's believers?"

"We haven't seen any Water God's Apostle for hundreds of years! It's our honour to see you!"

"What? Are there beautiful girls in the nearby villages? Well... of course there are."

Compared to Yun Que, who always collected information quickly and precisely, Yun Xi was more amicable and approachable. He had become integrated with the villagers.

"Yun Hai, don't waste your time." Yun Que just passed by this place. She frowned after seeing this scene.

They were just ordinary villagers, not at the same level as them at all. Even if Yun Hai wanted to gather information from them, why didn't he just order them to tell him everything they knew? He didn't need to waste his time in this way!

"Roar!" The white tiger raised its paws with hostility.

"Stop wasting your time! We must find the most suitable bride for Water God!" Seeing that Yun Xi wasn't going to listen her words, Yun Que looked at him with disdain.

What a stupid man. Don’t you know that your efficiency is just too bad?!

"Yun Que, I'm not wasting my time. It is just not that simple." Yun Xi leisurely stood up.

This time, the star trial was so different from his past experience. Because this was a "real" world. Yun Xi didn't know how the stars could do this, but he had confirmed that the people in this world were real. They had independent memories and souls. They had their love, hatred, anger and fear.

This wasn't a lifeless world like the dark forest or the tall tower had been. This was a world of colours of every kind. The more he understood Water God's world, the more thoughts and feelings he experienced within his mind. Yun Xi could feel this world's difference. This world was a living painting, containing himself and Yun Que. This time, he wasn't fighting alone.

"I don't understand. Why did Water God choose you as its Apostle," Yun Que said and looked at Yun Xi with a puzzled look.

Didn’t he want to obtain Water God's best reward?

"Equivalent Exchange" was a constant rule for her. The stronger the power she wanted to obtain, the more the effort she had to input. She must move on her road as quickly as she could, so she didn't have time to stop. This world's background and people meant nothing to her. Her only goal here was to find a suitable bride for Water God.

"Well, you can just take your time here. I’ll go to the next village."

No common goal, no common cause to cooperate. Yun Que felt that her partner, the Apostle who named himself "Yun Hai" was really an unreliable man. She didn't want to cooperate with him any longer.

"Hum... you go first. Little Mu and I will stay here for a period of time. Maybe our efficiency will be higher after separating."

"Good bye," Yun Que said, then immediately left the village while carrying the scroll she had made.

Perhaps they wouldn't see each other again. Their ways of doing things were totally different. She was prepared to walk around the world as fast as possible, then find the most beautiful bride for Water God to complete the quest. As for "Yun Hai"... perhaps after she finished the quest, he would be still wandering around this area.

Sigh, why did Water God choose him?

"Roar!" After Yun Que left the village, the white tiger stretched itself, then turned its body near Yun Xi.

In its heart, it felt that the Apostle named "Yun Que" was always as tense as a bowstring that was stretched taut, as if something forced him to keep moving without taking a rest. "He" was too dangerous.

"Yun Que... what an incredible guy." Although Yun Que despised Yun Xi, Yun Xi still felt that the archer's temperament was respectable.

He could feel Yun Que's belief of never giving up in any circumstance. "He" was a real warrior.

But isn't he an archer? Why does he have such a warrior-style temperament? Isn't an archer a career where one is always sniping their enemies stealthily from a distance?

"Huff... huff..." Whilst Yun Xi was thinking, a feeble figure ran towards him.

"Cough... ha..." Lu Lu was running with all her strength. Perhaps she had never run as fast as this in her life.

"Thank god! You haven't left!" Lu Lu felt a sense of relief looking at Yun Xi's silver mask. "Everyone said that the Apostle had left. I thought that it was you."

"Oh, it's Yun Que. He has gone to the next village." Yun Xi's heart ached as he looked at the girl panting for breath.

"I... regret it. I'm regretting now..." Lu Lu's shoulders slightly trembled.

When she heard the news that the Apostle had left, she felt her heart go cold as if she was falling into a frozen lake. Water God's Apostles didn't often appear in ordinary people's world. They were Water God's spokesmen and servants. Sometimes, they would come to the human world, but it wouldn't be for long.

If it was Yun Xi but not Yun Que who had left the village, Lu Lu felt that she would regret it for a lifetime, because there was still something she hadn't told him. The answer to Yun Xi's proposal. Maybe her answer would be counterintuitive and profane in the eyes of the villagers. However, it was the answer she had thought of for a whole night, which she would never regret.

"I... I agree! Yes, I want to be your bride!"

In the morning mist, the girl's blushing face was bright like the rising sun.

Chapter 157: The First Fiancee

I don't want to lose you, for that, I will tell you my heart's feeling bravely: I want to live my whole life together with you!

For the first time in her life, she had such a passionate feeling in her heart. This was the only opportunity to dominate her destiny after her parents' deaths. No matter what would happen, she wouldn't regret the decision she made at this moment.

"Have you really decided?" Yun Xi looked at Lu Lu. The light in her eyes was so bright.

She didn't have her past memory. She didn't know who he was and where he was from. In this world, Lu Lu was just an ordinary village girl who had only inherited a pharmaceutical skill from her parents. She was entitled to be Water God's bride, but she had decided to resist her destiny. She didn't know his true identity, but she still believed him, entrusting her life to him.

In Yun Xi’s eyes, Lu Lu was so cute and bright like a sparkling gem. Unfortunately, this wasn't a real world. After Yun Xi finished his quest, perhaps this world would return to the void. However, before that happened, he would promise her that she would become his fiancee. In response to her expectation, he would help her escape her fate from becoming Water God's bride.

"Do you really want to be my fiance?" Yun Xi asked her in a gentle tone.

"Yes. I won't regret it. No matter what will happen, I want to stay with you. From today on, I hope I can learn a lot from you!" Lu Lu shyly lowered her head.

In Water God's world, once a girl agreed to marry a man, it meant that the girl had entrusted her life to the man. From that moment on, her life and her future would be bound together with that man tightly. Because Yun Xi was Water God's Apostle, his promise was equal to a vow from Water God. It would be guaranteed by the god.

"’Side Quest Four: To Love, Starchild!’ is opened. You have signed the first contract with you first fiance! Overlap Lu Lu’s power of fate with your power!"

Yun Xi heard the system's beeps. At the same time, a total new power flowed into his body without getting stuck. From now on, Lu Lu's power totally belonged to Yun Xi.

The first superposition was completed!

A large "one" pattern appeared behind the Side Quest Four in the system. It represented the current number of Yun Xi's fiancee.

"Thank you. Thank you for trusting me." Yun Xi held the girl's hands. Her hands were soft but warm and strong.

If she hadn't decided to accept him, she wouldn't have run to this place desperately to tell him her answer.

"Whoa! I... I will try my best. I know how to cook, clean the room, refine medicine and… what to do at night..." Lu Lu spoke haltingly. Her ears turned pink after saying that.

"Don't worry. You are still a child. I will marry you after you grow up," Yun Xi said. He smiled looking at Lu Lu's bewildered expression.

"I'm not a child! At my age, many girls have had babies!" Lu Lu threw out her chest.

She wasn't lying. Many girls in the village, some of them even younger than her, were already married.

"Ah..." Yun Xi was agape and tongue-tied.

Wasn't it only for helping her to avoid to be chosen as Water God's bride? Why did she look at me so seriously? Did I say something wrong? Did she misunderstand my words? But... Why? Why do her shy eyes and blushing face look so cute...

"I know! I'm not mature enough! Dear Apostle, you are a great man, you must have had a lot of brides. However! I have my own strong points! I'm just a third-ranked pharmacist, but I'm still growing. I still stand a chance to reach the fourth rank. So... so... don't look down on me!" Lu Lu pouted.

"Wait! Wait! I don't have a lot of brides! You’re my first fiance!" Yun Xi raised his hands.

"Gee? I'm the first? Impossible! Many people in our village have three or four wives!" Lu Lu looked at Yun Xi in surprise. "You’re so mature and strong, why don't you marry a lot of brides? It's too abnormal!"

"Well, is this the tradition of this world?... Nah. Anyway, you are my first fiancee. I promise." Yun Xi didn't know how to explain it. He looked like a middle-aged man now. It seemed that in this world, it was very strange that a man at his age hadn’t got married.

"I... I'm the first..." Lu Lu was shocked.

To become the great Apostle's first wife... what a great honor. She was just a village girl. Did she really deserve it?

According to the tradition in Water God's world, a man could marry several wives. Normally, a man's first wife was very important. According to the man's identity and family, the man's first wife had been decided even before he became a grown-up. Marriage must be well-matched in social and economic status. This was a basic rule that had been recognized by all the classes in the world.

She... she was the first?

She couldn't even dare to dream it!

Water God's Apostle was handsome and personable. Shouldn't he have married dozens of brides?

"Don't worry. I will be responsible for you." Looking at Lu Lu's confused face, Yun Xi smiled with the corners of his mouth upward. He gently stroked her head and said, "I want you to be my first fiance."

"No, I can't!" Lu Lu’s thoughts returned to the world. She quickly shook her head.

"No, you can't say no. You are the first!" Yun Xi teased her. Anyway, this was just a trial world. After the star trial finished, she would forget this experience.

Yes, I'm not going to become a scum. It's not my intention. I just want to help the girls to avoid becoming Water God's brides, and increase my power incidentally! Was this the true meaning to ‘Side Quest Four’?

"But, but, I don't deserve it," Lu Lu said, "At least, not till after I become a fourth-ranked pharmacist..."

"Do not be afraid. I believe in you. Do you believe in me? If so, believe in yourself, believe in the you that I have faith in. You are weak now, but please, believe that you are a girl that deserves to be my bride!"

Chapter 158: The Wedding Gown

"Is it real? Even if an ordinary, weak girl like me deserves to be your bride? Dear Apostle, do you really believe in me?" Lu Lu gazed at Yun Xi's mask with excitement and hesitation.

He was the first person who had believed in her, in all her life. She was just an ordinary girl who was born in an ordinary village, a girl who only knew how to make medicine. Did she really deserve his trust?

When Yun Xi held her hands, her heart was beating fast feeling the temperature of Yun Xi's hands. She could barely look at Yun Xi's eyes after hearing his words.

"Yes, you should trust yourself. You will become a lady who won’t lose out to anyone in the world!" Yun Xi was sure about it, because her fate had been changed by his seed in her body.

According to what Mei'er had told him, she had a limitless, bright future.

"I... I will try my best!" Lu Lu blushed. She felt that her hands had almost been melted in Yun Xi's warm hands.

What should I do? Does my face look strange now? Will he feel that I'm a weird girl? Oh, his hands are so big! Ah ah ah! Idiot! Idiot! I'm an idiot. What am I thinking?! Why didn't I behave more gentle and restrained? What a shame!

Not surprisingly, compared to the honorable Apostle, I'm still a child. He just said a few words but he helped me regain my courage. I raise my head and gaze at his mask. I can feel his mature temperament and gritty determination.

Am I really his first fiance? To be such a great man's first fiance... it's wonderful, like a dream. I must make greater efforts to become a better lady, so that I can live up to him!

...

After that, Yun Xi announced his engagement with Lu Lu to the village people.

"Oh oh oh oh oh! Dear Apostle, you will marry Lu Lu? It's her honor!"

"Oh, praise Water God! How lucky Lu Lu is!"

"Dear Apostle, my daughter is also good! Of course, she isn't as good as Lu Lu, but if you don't mind..."

"Banquet! Banquet! We must hold a banquet immediately! This is the biggest event in our village's history!"

As was expected, all the villagers began to rave. They all showered their blessings on Lu Lu and Yun Xi, and no one doubted if there was something wrong.

Looking at these villagers, Yun Xi felt slightly guilty in his heart, because he wasn't really going to marry Lu Lu. It was just to help her avoid becoming Water God's bride. However, everyone thought that it was the happiest thing for Lu Lu to marry Yun Xi. Being affected by them, even Yun Xi himself started to have such an illusion.

The villagers built a dais beside the burning bonfire. Lu Lu was wearing the village's traditional clothes, standing beside Yun Xi.

Red and white cotton dress, black cotton belt and a flower-like hair headdress were the traditional clothes of the village, which would only be worn by the bride at her wedding. Yun Xi said that it was just an engagement, but he was Water God's Apostle. His marriage would be witnessed by the god, therefore no one thought that he would have any regrets.

In everyone’s eyes, including Lu Lu herself, when she agreed to be Yun Xi's fiance, she had become his property. In Water God's world, a girl agreeing to marry a man meant that she had entrusted her life to the man. Therefore, a "wedding" was an extremely holy ceremony in all the people's hearts.

The villagers ignited the bonfire. They drank and danced, showering their blessings on Lu Lu. It was an important event that would be recorded in the village's history.

"Isn't... this too formal? It is just an engagement ceremony." Looking at people's happy faces, Yun Xi suddenly felt that something was wrong. He felt that it was nothing like an engagement ceremony, but more like a wedding ceremony.

"Yes, it's our engagement ceremony." Lu Lu's answer subtly made Yun Xi misunderstand the ceremony.

Lu Lu's dog ears shook due to excitement. In the light of the bonfire, Lu Lu raised her hand in front of all the villagers.

"Today is a special day. I will sign an engagement with our respectful Apostle. From this day forward, for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, I will offer my loyalty to the great Apostle till I return to the great Water God's arms. From this day on, I will only be his wife. Praise Water God, let us meet in the most beautiful place, in the most wonderful season, in my most fantastic age! After the great Apostle held my hands, I have regarded him as my only husband! I want to stay with him forever! I want to lend him my power! Everyone, please bless us!"

After Lu Lu's brave announcement finished, the villagers under the dais all clapped their hands excitedly. They just witnessed the wedding of the most beautiful girl in the village. Moreover, the bridegroom was a legendary Water God's Apostle! Their marriage would be recorded and eulogized from generation to generation!

"Umm... my Apostle, can we start the last ceremony?" Lu Lu said shyly and lowered her head.

"What's the last ceremony?" Yun Xi looked at Lu Lu in confusion. He didn't know the reason, but he felt that Lu Lu looked very guilty, because she didn't dare to look at his face.

"Can, can you come a little closer? I will only let you hear it." Lu Lu looked at Yun Xi expectantly.

She subconsciously stood on her toes. Yun Xi lowered his head. Unexpectedly, Lu Lu raised herself on tiptoe and kissed his mouth. It was totally unexpected. Yun Xi's lips were covered by Lu Lu's mouth tightly. It was a sweet, hot, and numb feeling. He even tasted a light herbal touch. It was Lu Lu's "girl's flavor".

Chapter 159: Ceremony

What... isn't... she... too bold?

Feeling the temperature remaining on his lips, and looking at Lu Lu's watery eyes, Yun Xi was suddenly at a loss.

This world was too real! He smelt the bouquet of liquor in the air and looked at the cute pharmacist girl. He looked around. These people had self-consciousness. They weren't puppets.

He could hear their laughter with his ears. He could see their happy faces with his eyes. Compared to the two dark worlds he had experienced before, this world was just like a wonderful, fantastic dream.

"My Apostle, from now on, I'm your woman," Lu Lu said with a blush.

"Kissing Yun Xi" had used up her guts. She never thought that she would do such a daring thing in her life, but she couldn't stop her irresistible impulse. According to tradition, the bridegroom should kiss his bride in that process. However, it seemed that Yun Xi didn't know the traditional custom in their village, so she proactively kissed him.

"Great! Our Lu Lu got married!"

"Ha ha, she was still a little girl not so long ago. In the blink of an eye, she is already at the age of getting married."

"Lu Lu, you must be happy!" The uncles cried, as if it was their daughter who got married today.

Lu Lu's parents died when she was young. The villagers fed her together. From childhood, she had been a sensible girl. No one had seen her cry. After she could walk, she had started to help villagers with work. And after she discovered that she was talented in pharmaceutics, she studied harder than anyone.

Today, Lu Lu would be married. Everyone blessed her and the kind Water God's Apostle, hoping that they could achieve happiness.

"Come here, Lu Lu. There is something you must learn today."

"Come here. We will teach you the necessary knowledge as a bride."

"He is an honorable Water God's Apostle. You must learn how to become to be more affectionate, more touchy-feely, more, in some cases, sexy!" The aunts in the village waved their hands at Lu Lu.

Lu Lu walked to them blushing her face. She uneasily listened their words, after a while, her fingers crossed together.

"Do... I have to do that?" Lu Lu looked as if she was going to cry out.

It was too difficult! It was too early for her!

"Not only that. You have also to do this..."

"Yes, yes. He is Water God's Apostle, besides, he is so handsome. He will have a lot of brides in the future. If you don't do your best, you will lose!"

"Yes. Even though you have become Water God's Apostle's first bride and he doesn't mind your identity, you can't take a casual attitude!"

"The girls who want to marry a Water God's Apostle are as many as the reeds in the lake!"

At the same time, Yun Xi was surrounded by a group of uncles.

"Come here, Dear Apostle. Perhaps this is the only opportunity in my life to drink with an Apostle!"

"This is the best grain wine in our village that has been stored in the cellar for a hundred years. We were going to use it to pay tax, but... who cares?! Let's drink!"

"Yes, yes. It doesn't matter. Mountain Lord can bless us, we don't need to worry about this year's harvest. Thank you, our great Water God's Apostle!"

"Let's have a toast to our great Water God's Apostle!"

These villagers had regarded themselves as Lu Lu's family. They enthusiastically proposed a toast to Yun Xi.

"Err..." Yun Xi didn't have any experience in dealing with such a situation. Soon afterwards, he was really drunk. He didn't even notice that Little Mu had stealthily up walked behind him.

"Roar?" Looking at Yun Xi's intoxicated look, Little Mu reached its paw and licked Yun Xi's wine bowl.

It was bitter and acrid. Why did humans like it?

However, a minute later, Little Mu's eyes brightened up.

What was this feeling?

The tingling sensation on its tongue turned into luscious bouquet, spreading in its mouth slowly, then to its whole body.

Good! Good! Very good! Interesting!

"Hiccup. Do you want to have a drink, Mountain Lord?" The villagers were also drunk. They shouted, "Come on! Come one! Propose a toast to our Mountain Lord!"

"What? The best wine has been drunk up? Then take out all the wines we have!"

"It's our duty to let our great Mountain Lord feel happy!"

The white tiger happily looked at the small wine jugs the villagers just carried here. They took off the lids and let the bouquet spread in the air.

Roar!

I have decided! The villagers don't need to offer me cows and sheep as sacrifices. I will only accept wines from now on!

The white tiger held a wine jug with its two front paws. It licked and sucked, then the wine had been drunk up. The delicious liquid let it feel that it was in heaven. These humans were sensible and useful. The white tiger was drunk. It looked at the villagers with satisfaction and decided to take care of them in the future, so that they could offer it more wines.

"There are... three of Little Mu?" Yun Xi didn't have a huge body like the white tiger and had been drinking a lot. In fact, he was drunk, really drunk, but still he forced himself to be awake by using his hero-ranked ability.

"It's time, Lu Lu. Go, show your weapon as a woman!"

"Even though he is Water God's Apostle... no man can refuse your weapon!"

"Lu Lu, you are our village's honor. It's time to prove yourself!"

"Eh!" These aunts just taught Lu Lu a lot of knowledge she had never learned from any book. She blushed, slowly walked to Yun Xi and lifted him up.

"I... I'm going!" Lu Lu knew that the villagers were helping her. They made Yun Xi drunk on purpose.

"Go, go. It will become a memorable night of yours."

"Sigh. Our Lu Lu will become a woman."

"Dear Apostle, please be good to Lu Lu. We don't dare to expect more except this."

"Even if you will have other brides in the future, don't forget our Lu Lu!"

Everyone looked at Lu Lu with an air of quiet understanding.

One half-hour of a wedding night is worth a thousand gold bars. Ha ha, we can't say it too clearly. Lu Lu's face was turning red.

"Don't tease me, everyone!" Lu Lu lowered her head and supported Yun Xi with her hands, leaving the bonfire as fast as she could.

"Roar!" The white tiger was still drinking. The wine jugs beside it had been piled up like a hill.

It would become a warm night.

Chapter 160: The Gap Between Their Experiences

Yun Xi didn't know when he had returned to the room. He had never drank so much wine before. If Lu Lu hadn't supported him with her arms, he would have toppled down to the ground. Yun Xi slowly closed his eyes.

Why was the world so real? Even the wine had an amazing effect.

According to his judgment, this village should be a safety zone. He wouldn't need to worry about being attacked by enemies. Just like a night before the storm, the battle between the Sky Sword and Water God hadn't started yet.

"Gurgle!" Yun Xi heard the sound of flowing water. He vaguely opened his eyes and saw a foggy pool.

Was... it... a hot spring?

"Master... let me help you take a bath..." Lu Lu said shakily with courage.

"No... no... I can do it by myself," Yun Xi muttered, trying to stop his titular fiance's kindness.

"No... it's my duty as a wife!" Lu Lu insisted, "Please let me help you!"

"Er..." Yun Xi hiccupped, and still shook his head.

"En... I'm going to start!" Lu Lu ignored his refusal and started to take off his clothes.

Yun Xi finally realized something was wrong, but it was already too late! Lu Lu's soft hands had taken off Yun Xi's clothes. Her face was red and hot, but her actions were unshrinking and fast.

"It's a wife's natural duty to help her husband to take a bath. I won't back down!"

Remembering what she was taught just now, Lu Lu ground her teeth and started to help Yun Xi scrub his back. Under the stimulation of the warm water, Yun Xi had no energy to stop her. He couldn’t help and had to lie on the rock beside the hot spring.

Lu Lu only wrapped a big bath towel around her body. Her smooth skin, snow white feet, and the top half of her breasts were all exposed in front of Yun Xi's eyes. Especially her cute, seductive appearance, which made her look like a mellow fruit that could be picked off a tree at any time in Yun Xi's eyes.

"Master..." Yun Xi's scorching eyes cooked Lu Lu's face red. Her ears shook and her dog-like tail wagged, which made Yun Xi barely move his eyes away.

"If you don't mind... this place... I can..." Lu Lu gazed at Yun Xi with her expectant and nervous eyes.

"No... you are still too small..." Even though Yun Xi was drunk, he still firmly remembered that he shouldn't do anything to Lu Lu.

She was just his titular fiance in this world. It was a temporary relationship to help her and to achieve the goals of the strange quest "To love, Starchild!". If he did something to Lu Lu under such circumstances, he would really become a scum.

"Lu Lu isn't small!" Lu Lu pouted, then secretly looked at her own breasts.

Ooo ooo oo, they were really very small. At this time, she really hoped that she could obtain the legendary multi-headed dragon's blood to make her breasts become bigger.

Gee? What was Multi-headed dragon's blood?

Lu Lu was suddenly at a loss. She was absorbed in thought. Just now, some memories suddenly appeared in her mind. She suddenly remembered something about sword skills and the information about the multi-headed dragon.

What was wrong with her?

Never mind. She shook her head. Tonight was her wedding night. She must go a step forward with the respectful Apostle. The respectful Apostle said that she was too small to do "that thing". Did it mean that she was allowed to do everything except "that thing"? Yes, it must be right. I'm smart! Come on, Lu Lu. You can do it!

Lu Lu seriously looked at Yun Xi's face, then kissed his lips again. At the same time, she purposely pressed her small but soft breasts on his chest.

"Hum!" Lu Lu put her tongue into Yun Xi's mouth and rubbed against his tongue. Although Yun Xi was drunk, his body instinctively reacted. His nimble tongue subconsciously touched Lu Lu's tongue, reacting to her action with enthusiasm.

Yun Xi had learned well-developed kissing skills from his childhood sweethearts, how could Lu Lu be Yun Xi's opponent? Soon afterwards, she had become breathless and befuddled, and couldn't stop herself groaning.

Feeling the sweet, gentle touches, her heartbeat echoed in the silent hot spring. They were so close that could feel each other's breaths. Their tongues tempted them, from the shallower to the deeper, till out of control.

Lu Lu's chest heaved as she gasped for breath. Her breathing could be heard clearly, and her skin had turned pink.

Was this the necessary process to become a bride?

Feeling the thrilling sensation in her body, she felt a little afraid and wanted to run away. However, it was too late. Her tongue was tangled with Yun Xi's tongue, how could she say anything? Her watery eyes gazed at Yun Xi, communicating her shyness and anxiety, but Yun Xi didn't see it. He kissed her ears, neck, cheeks...

When Lu Lu finally left Yun Xi's arms in disorder, Yun Xi had almost kissed her whole body.

Whooooa! Aunts! It was too embarrassing! Sorry… I couldn’t hold on!

Lu Lu worried about her immature personality. Sure enough, the great Apostle was the one who had rich experience. She was just an inexperienced girl. The gap between them was too wide.

Chapter 161: Sky Sword

Ow! My head hurts!

Yun Xi's eyes were stimulated by the morning sunshine. He gazed at the unfamiliar ceiling with a lifeless look.

Where is this? Who am I? Why am I at this place? Where will I go?

After a few moments, Yun Xi finally remembered everything. This was Water God's Fantasy Island. He was here to take his star trial. Now, he had become Water God's Apostle and obtained his first engagement contract in the first village, and had also opened the fourth side quest "To love, Starchild!"

At the same time, he also had an ultimate quest to "find the most excellent bride for Water God".

"Oh! I was drunk! I don't believe that was something I did!" Yun Xi only remembered a few things that had happened last night. He slept after he went to the hot spring? After that... he remembered that something ambiguous happened. He could remember Lu Lu's snow white feet and her sweet lips.

Lu Lu... was that girl Lu Lu?

What an indiscreet experience. Yun Xi smiled bitterly at his blurry memories of last night.

I shouldn't drink too much.

"Master, are you awake?" Lu Lu sat beside Yun Xi and handed him a bowl of hangover-cure soup.

"Err... don’t be so timid. You can be more outgoing." Yun Xi sensitively noticed that Lu Lu had a look of self-contempt, as if she had suffered some huge blow last night.

"I'm just a childish girl. It's my luck to marry you." Remembering her experience last night, she felt embarrassed. The gap between their experiences was too wide. As his bride, she had actually run away in fright last night.

Master... how many females have you experienced?!

As was expected, even though the great Apostle wasn't married, his experience was still far richer than her’s.

"Well... I want to sleep a little longer." Yun Xi was defeated by Lu Lu's innocent eyes. He hid into the warm folded quilt.

"Wake up, master. The other Apostle is waiting for you!" Lu Lu said. She knocked Yun Xi's pillow with her medicine pestle.

"Yun Que? Has he come back?" Yun Xi knew that he couldn't pretend to be asleep. He hadn't forgotten his quest of investigating the nearby villages.

"Yes. He wants to see you as soon as possible." Lu Lu gazed at Yun Xi's mask, and suddenly had a bad presentiment in her heart. She felt that something would be changed.

"I see." Yun Xi stretched himself.

"Let me help you put on your clothes." Lu Lu gently pressed on Yun Xi's shoulders and helped him wear clothes that were made by her. Because they were clothes made by using the materials from old clothes, they didn't look like new clothes, but were very suitable for Yun Xi's body shape.

"Master..." Gazing at Yun Xi's back, Lu Lu indulged in her memories.

In fact, they were her father's clothes. However, she couldn't even remember her father’s face, because he passed away too early. The only thing he left in the world was this old clothes.

"What's wrong with the clothes?" Yun Xi looked at himself. It seemed that they were traditional clothes. Its sleeves were white and the cuffs were sewed with black patterns.

"No, nothing," Lu Lu said and shook her head, then pushed Yun Xi's shoulders, "Master, go do your things. No matter what you are going to do, I will support you!"

"Thanks." Yun Xi patted Lu Lu's shoulders, then turned around and left.

...

In the village chief's house, Yun Xi saw Yun Que who had just returned from a nearby village. She seriously gazed at him and said, "We have a problem."

"What happened? You couldn't find suitable brides for Water God?" Yun Xi looked at Yun Que in confusion.

"No. It's going well. Look, this is the list of candidates." Yun Que handed over the second scroll she made to Yun Xi.

"She is..." Yun Xi opened the scroll and immediately noticed a girl's portrait.

The smiling girl couldn't be anyone other than Ling Ling. He didn't expect that he would see another Starwing Knights’ girl so early. Gold will shine everywhere. They were excellent girls. Even though they had lost their memories, they were still the cutest girls in this world. It wasn't surprising to see them becoming the most suitable candidates in their villages.

"Ling Ling, a third-ranked female swordsman, seventeen years old." Reading the information on the scroll, Yun Xi felt that he would get his second fiancee soon.

"Are you going to do something to her?" Yun Que noticed Yun Xi's strange look, then said in disdain, "Look at yourself! Weren't you too freewheeling last night? Lu Lu is only sixteen years old! I know you’re not a man who knows how to control your desire, but we are looking for a suitable bride for Water God! Can you restrain your shameless, salacious character during this period of time?"

Ah... I think that I'm an upright gentleman... Yun Xi innocently looked at Yun Que, not understanding why she was so angry.

"Puff!" Yun Que drew in a deep breath, then said something serious.

Even though the Apostle named "Yun Hai" was a helpless, estrous scum, but his combat power was strong. She couldn't ignore his combat record of defeating the Mountain Lord, although she didn't think that it could prove why Water God would choose him as its Apostle. He was just a shameless thief inside!

"I’ve found out who the Sky Sword is!"

"What?!" Yun Xi was shocked. He didn't expect that he would meet with the most terrible enemy in this trial so soon. It was a Sky Sword! A legend at the top of the whole Sky Sword God's Domain!

"Who is the Sky Sword?"

"Shaya Longnis, a nonhuman Sky Sword. Three hundred years ago, she defeated the previous tenth Sky Sword and replaced the Sky Sword's ranking. She is a strong Sky Sword who stands a chance to become one of the top three Sky Swords. Before she became a Sky Sword, she was called 'Slime Sword Master'."

Chapter 162: Slime's Legend

"Slime Sword Master?" Yun Xi had never heard of such a strange title.

Of course, maybe it was just because he was too ignorant. He didn't have any way to have heard of it in the small village he was born in. Most people in White Lotus Sword Domain only knew that Yun Hai the Sword Master was a "Sky Sword". To them, other Sky Swords were just like some distant legends.

"Yes. Come with me." Looking at Yun Xi's face, Yun Que knew that he knew nothing about Shaya Longnis, the most terrible newborn Sky Sword.

Sometimes, a Sky Sword's ranking couldn't represent their true strength because most of them were born in different eras and hadn't fought against each other. Then what was the standard people used to rank them? Other than the three Sky Swords who were recorded to have killed a god, people judged other Sky Swords by their fame during their eras.

As a newborn Sky Sword, Shaya Longnis hadn't had sufficient time to accumulate her fame, however, "it" was undoubtedly a top-class Sky Sword. Yes, generally, people thought that Shaya Longnis was an "it" and not a "he" nor a "she". It was due to her race: slime. It was neither male nor female, nor was it a fantasy creature. It didn't even have parents, naturally it didn't have a name. It was said that the her true body was a green slime.

Shaya Longnis wasn't its original name. It was a name it inherited from a girl it had swallowed. It was said that this Sky Sword had a terrifying natural ability: Unlimited Division, and it could eat anything. If it was angry, it could even swallow a whole world.

As a Ten Leaves Alliance elite, Yun Que had read about the Slime Sky Sword's records. It was too exaggerated to say that it could eat a whole world, but it really had eaten a whole race. It was cruel and merciless, and had strong aggression. If it considered one as its enemy, no one could escape, no matter if it was a human, a city, or even a race.

Yun Que had even read the Slime Sword Master's dairy through a secret method. The dairy recorded a part of its mood, which looked pretty messy and complicated:

Tear off the surface, nothing in the world is unintelligible.

Disinteresting, unpleasant, chaotic stuffs.

Cry, tangle, confession, want to provoke my fond.

How to describe my mood? Even to this day, I can't give an answer.

I find that I'm a despicable creature.

Noise, noise. So bored, so bored, so bored. Can't help it. I'm not good at handling relationships. I'm not happy.

Too shallow. I'm bored.

However, I hate to be eliminated. If I can't become the most popular one, I will find it unbearable. After all, I hate to be defeated.

Even if I'm dirty and foul, even if I had to lie, if I can't look down on the earth, I will lose the meaning of my life.

No calculation. No aversion. Enjoy the fruits after the people.

She said that "Other people’s happiness is my happiness".

Is she an angel? Treated everyone equally and gently.

I can't pray for her. I love her. I want to hear her cry. I want to make her cry. It is a good thing.

But it is very important. I want to see her smile. It's unbelievable. I hate myself.

Maybe I'm in love.

Say yes and mean no. I thought this thing in my heart and did that thing. I couldn't do it. I was helpless.

Today, the world is as ugly and beautiful as usual. I can't leave her alone. Therefore, I will keep going. I must become strong.

To be honest, Yun Que didn't really understand what she had read. She only felt indifference and arrogance through the words, which made her feel cold from the bottom of her heart.

It was said that the slime liked a girl named "Shaya Longnis", but finally, it ate her and inherited her name. In addition to the female body it often used, the Slime Sky Sword also had various avatars, which were all inherited from the creatures it had eaten.

Multi-headed blindworm, mountain-like old dragon, three-headed mutated golden dragonhawk... After the Slime Sword Master became a Sky Sword, the strong beings it had eaten could be written into a long list. Even the Ten Leaves Alliance couldn't figure out how many creatures the Slime Sky Sword had eaten and how strong it had become now.

Apart from the three strongest Sky Swords, Shaya Longnis, who insisted that its title was "Slime Sky Sword", was the last enemy Yun Que wanted to face because she could think of no way to defeat it. Even though slime was a small and weak kind of monster, but it was a slime that had been recognized as a Sky Sword! It had become an insoluble bug.

As for the reason... one would know it after seeing it.

"Look, this is the omen of the Sky Sword's coming." Yun Que took Yun Xi to a stream that was close to the village. She pointed at several water-drop-like creatures and said in a serious tone.

"Aren't they slimes?" Looking at the several weak monsters which could even be killed by ordinary people, Yun Xi couldn't imagine the relationship between them and the Sky Sword.

The several slimes had green skin and did not look sticky but very cute. He even had an impulse to poke and pinch them in his hands.

"Yes, they are the problem. They are the Sky Sword's avatars, containing an endless evolution ability. Today, you only see several lower-level slimes which can even be killed by ordinary villagers easily, but soon afterwards, there will be more and more mutated slimes. No matter how many slimes you have killed, there will always be more and more of them. Metal slime, ruby slime, emerald slime, fire slime, dark slime, holy slime... till the golden slime king is born, then everything will end."

Yun Que shook her head and continued, "Golden slime king can transform itself into all kinds of creatures, including dragons and other rare fantasy creatures. And Shaya Longnis the Sky Sword is even more terrible than any golden slime king. It’s the child of the whole slime race, it isn't even inferior to the great Water God."

Chapter 163: Three Phases

"From what I know, the omen of Slime Sky Sword's coming is composed of three phases," Yun Que said, "The first phase is the birth of green slimes."

"At first, there will only be several slimes. Gradually, there will be dozens of slimes, hundreds of slimes, thousands of slimes... in a month, the world will have thousands of different slimes."

"At first, the slimes are harmless. They don't attack any living beings and only do their best to find and absorb nutritious substances to replicate themselves. At this time, the process is still under control," Yun Que said in a serious tone.

"However, in the second step, elite slimes will be born amongst the green slimes. The proportion is 100: 1. Elite slimes don't look different from ordinary green slimes, but they can naturally form a mental network amongst each other, connecting the whole slime race in the world."

"The principle of the mental network is still unknown, but its goal is to accelerate Shaya Longnis's birth. As the mental network collects more and more energy, stronger and more stronger slimes will be born and twist the world's rules. Finally, after the birth of the golden slime king, the third phase will start."

Speaking of this, Yun Que paused for a while. Even though Ten Leaves Alliance had only collected this much information.

"In the third phase, Shaya Longnis will be born in the world, then she will control or destroy the world. Her other abilities and her sky sword... are still unknown."

"Sky Sword" was the title presented to the strongest swordsman in Sky Sword God's Domain, however, it was also a sword's name. All the Sky Swords had their own sky swords. Of course, Shaya Longnis had her sky sword, however, Ten Leaves Alliance failed to collect her sky sword's information, as if it didn't exist. It was inconsequential, because if Shaya Longnis didn't have a sky sword, she wouldn't be recognized as a Sky Sword.

"Besides, according to my judgement, as long as there is still a slime left in the world, Shaya Longnis won't die. Even if we eliminate all the slimes in the world, she will only be driven out of this world but not be killed. From the beginning, she was in an unassailable position." Yun Que knew the Sky Sword very well, naturally, she didn't really think that Water God's camp could win.

Fortunately, she knew that her quest wasn't to defeat the Sky Sword but to find the most beautiful bride for Water God. It was the only good news. If her quest was to defeat Shaya Longnis the Slime Sky Sword, her percentage of winning would undoubtedly be zero. She wasn't at the same level as the Sky Sword.

Just let Water God worry about the world's future! she thought.

"What a terrible Sky Sword!" Yun Xi finally understood what a terrible enemy they would face.

It was the child of slime race and would never die as long as there was still a slime left in the universe. Moreover, it could reproduce and divide itself endless times, and could become stronger by swallowing its enemy. It was as strong as an evil god!

Wait! Its properties...

Yun Xi suddenly had a vague idea in his heart but failed to remember it.

"Therefore, what can we do?" Yun Xi shook his head and looked at the several green slimes. He had vaguely guessed at what Yun Que would do.

"Of course, kill them all! In the first phase, there is still an opportunity to take advantage of it. If the second phase starts and the slimes form a mental network, it will be too late!" Yun Que said decisively. She had taken off her black bow from her back.

"I will clean this area and you go clean that area. Don't leave any of them alive! We must eliminate all the green slimes we can see! Even if we can't stop Shaya Longnis's coming, at least, we can do our best to delay the time. Now, killing time!"

After publishing the quest of "Slimes must die!" to Yun Xi, Yun Que drew her bow. She shot sixteen tracking arrows at those cute green slimes simultaneously and accurately detonated their bodies. As the result, only several pools of green liquid remained on the ground.

"No... something is wrong..." Yun Xi agreed with Yun Que's judgement, but he didn't think that this method would be useful.

Anyone could figure out this method of stopping Shaya Longnis, however, Yun Que had also said that Shaya Longnis had never been defeated before. Was it possible that no one had used this method before? Even ordinary people could kill these green slimes!

"You should leave now! Go kill the slimes in other areas!" Yun Que ordered. Her every arrow was accurate and deathful, not letting those green slimes obtain even a slight chance to revive.

After obtaining Water God's Mask, she didn't need to worry about the number of her arrows. She could create arrows by using her blood, which were more handy, manageable and withdrawable. She had understood how to use her ability of "Blood Control" to the limit.

"Ok, I will go to other areas." Yun Xi summoned the mists around him and slowly flew away.

Yun Que was right. He could see green slimes in the forest, beside the stream and on the mountains. Judging from these slimes' appearances, these green jelly-like little creatures were indeed harmless. They didn't even eat plants. They could live within moist mists, soil and rotten leaves. In a way, they were even inferior to herbivores.

It seemed that they also didn't have wits, because they didn't resist when they were eaten by other animals. After eating several slimes, animals gave up eating them, because they were too squishy and didn't have flesh and blood. They tasted just like water!

After being ignored by various animals, these green slimes still kept wandering around the forest and jumping up and down besides the stream.

Chapter 164: Yun Xi's Decision

Looking at the green slimes who were basking in the sun and eating soil, it was hard to believe that these lazy and lowly creatures were a Sky Sword's avatars. Yun Xi hadn't known that a nonhuman creature could become a Sky Sword before. He imagined what kind of character this Sky Sword had. At least, when Yun Xi caught a living slime and poked its warm and soft skin, he didn't have any hostility in his heart.

Should he let go of these slimes?

Anyway, according to what Yun Que said, as long as Shaya Longnis's avatars appeared in the world, her coming was already an established fact. In this world, only Water God was a match for Shaya Longnis. From the beginning, they didn't have the power to interfere in a war between two "gods". Moreover, Water God hadn't commanded them to fight against the Sky Sword.

"Can there be a way to stop these slimes without killing them?" Yun Xi was lost in thought as he looked at these green slimes.

In his previous trials, no matter if it was the green hippo or the furious stone soldier army, he had only needed to think about how to eliminate them with his maximum efficiency. He hadn't needed to think too much when he was struggling for survival. "Cut across blood and death" was his only choice to keep moving.

However, it wasn't a good choice in this world. He didn't have to kill someone here, because there wasn't an enemy that was threatening his life - apart from the White Tiger when it was controlled by some unknown secret skill.

Even Shaya Longnis, the most terrible enemy in this world, was still just some feeble lower-level slimes at this moment. He had various choices. He had various futures. Perhaps this was the real purpose of his star trial. There wasn't a decided result. Every choice he made would lead him to a different future.

"In that case... although I'm in Water God's camp, I don't have to choose to hurt you. However, I also can't just let you keep dividing." Yun Xi had made his choice. He didn't know which future this choice would lead him to, but he wouldn't regret it.

If these slimes kept dividing, it would finally lead to an unmanageable result. Since that was so, he would do his best to stop them.

As if there was a god that was arranging his fate in the unseen world, Yun Xi's mask coincidentally could solve this problem. His mask could let him control water, and 99% of these slimes' bodies were water. Naturally, he could dominate these feeble slimes.

Although Yun Que's mask offered her stronger attack power, she couldn't control these slimes, because they didn't have blood in their bodies.

"Become a part of me!" Yun Xi reached out his hand to perform his ability.

A lot of mist flocked to these slimes. Soon afterwards, these slimes became smaller and smaller, finally were compressed to dust-like particles. Yun Xi didn't kill them, but he had extracted the water out of their bodies. Even though his ability was irrational and inexplicable in ordinary people's eyes, it was indeed his hero-ranked power.

It was the reason why only a person who had crossed the barrier between the third rank and the fourth could be called "hero", because the person had overcome all worldly thoughts and entered sainthood. Only after that could one obtain their extraordinary power.

Magic, divine spells, taoist technology, alchemy... no matter what power you were learning and which god's domain you were in, only hero-ranked beings could be recognized by the world and explore the greater secrets in the world. The "Water Mist" Yun Xi's mask offered him contained a part of Water God's power. It was a hero-ranked ability that could control mist in a wide range.

After being compressed, the polymer of hundreds of green slimes wasn't even bigger than a rice grain. Yun Xi held them in his hand and could barely feel their weight.

"Not bad. In this case, the efficiency should be better than to kill them all." Yun Xi let out a sigh of relief after making sure that the green, rice-grain-like polymer was still alive.

At first, it was just one of Yun Xi's guesses. He didn't really expect that Water God's Mask could let him do it. No wonder that it was a hero-ranked ability. It was too amazing!

After that, Yun Xi controlled the mist around him and compressed all the slimes he could see. His efficiency was very high. Compared to Yun Que, who had to kill slimes one by one, Yun Xi was ten times faster than her.

"Not bad. It seems that you are not good for nothing." Yun Que expressed her satisfaction with Yun Xi's speed.

Although he was inferior, shameless, and salacious, and actually dared to reach out his sinful hands to his fiance, but at least, his combat power was reliable. His ability to eliminate all the slimes within a large area (in fact, Yun Xi just compressed and hid them) was a necessary ability they needed currently.

In that case, they should be able to greatly delay Shaya Longnis the Sky Sword's arrival time. Taking this opportunity, she needed to collect the information about all the unmarried girls in the nearby villages!

She didn't have time to take a rest. She must hurry! Time is life!

...

After making sure that Yun Que had left, Yun Xi gazed at a green gem in his hand with a curious look. The green gem wasn't bigger than his little finger. It was the polymer of the thousands of green slimes Yun Xi had compressed.

He hadn't expected that after he caught them all, they naturally merged together, and finally formed the beautiful green gem. No, "gem" wasn't a precise word to describe it. It just looked like a gem but wasn't as cold as a common gem. On the contrary, it was warm, soft and flexible, just like a girl's skin.

How to describe this feeling precisely? In Yun Xi's memory, the most similar thing was one of the things on a girl's chest… Cough! Yun Xi shook his head. He put the green gem into his pocket and returned to the village.

"Master, you are back!" Lu Lu was studying the etiquette of being a wife. She immediately put down her pestle and ran to Yun Xi.

"In fact, Lu Lu... there is something I have to tell you..." Yun Xi hesitated, but finally said, "Maybe I will get my second fiance soon."

Chapter 165: Bride Expansion Plan

"Master, which girl in the village will you marry?" Lu Lu looked at Yun Xi with curiosity.

Gee? Why this reaction?

Yun Xi thought that after hearing his words, Lu Lu would feel aggrieved and would probably cry. After all, she didn't remember that she was a member of his Starwing Knights and was just an ordinary girl living in the village now.

"Let me guess, except me, the girls in the village..." Lu Lu counted her fingers.

"No, she doesn't belong to this village," Yun Xi shook his head and said, "She is a girl in a nearby village, and her name is Ling Ling."

"Ling Ling!" Lu Lu's face changed. She was surprised.

"Master, have you seen Ling Ling?"

"No, not yet..." Yun Xi looked at Lu Lu awkwardly.

"Master, Ling Ling is a prideful girl. If you want her to be your new fiance... there may be some problems. Do you need me to persuade her?" Lu Lu threw out her chest, and the expression on her face looked as if she was saying "I can solve this minor issue for you. Come on, praise me!"

What's wrong with this world? Why is my fiance willing to help me propose to another girl?

"Don't you feel sad?" Yun Xi thought that this world's tradition was totally different from the real world he knew.

"Master, you’re an excellent Water God's Apostle. It's your natural obligation to marry a lot of girls. It's already been my good luck to be your first bride. So, I know I'm still naive and can't be a match for you now, but I will do my best to let you enjoy a happy life! Master, isn't a bride the woman who should support the person she likes?" Lu Lu looked at Yun Xi's eyes with sincerity. Her eyes were bright, seemingly saying that she firmly believed that it was an honoured occurrence to marry a lot of girls.

"You... are a good girl..." Yun Xi could neither laugh nor cry.

In this world, it was a natural thing for a strong male to marry a lot of girls. In the public’s eyes, Yun Hai was a great, hero-ranked Apostle. If he insisted that he would only marry a single girl... it would be regarded as a crime in their eyes!

“Even though Ling Ling is a prideful girl, she should feel satisfied to be the Apostle's fiance.” Lu Lu thought in her heart.

"This thing... there is no hurry. We don't have to be hasty." Yun Xi couldn't stand Lu Lu's innocent eyes any longer. He felt that he was committing a crime!

Fortunately, he only signed an engagement with her. As long as the star trial finished, she would return to be the original girl in Starwing Knights. As for proposing to Ling Ling, it was also a part of Yun Xi's plan. The side quest "To Love, Starchild!" was his only way to increase his strength in this trial world as far as he knew.

As a member of Water God's camp, he was doomed to fight against the human's camp, which would have Shaya Longnis the Sky Sword as their strongest combat power. In that case, he must improve his power as soon as possible. At the same time, he was also investigating the other quests. He wanted to find out the secret hiding behind the endless mist, the existence of Apostles, and the hidden quest, which would only appear after he had finished the three side quests.

Of course, he wouldn't give up on completing the main quest. Yun Que was looking for Water God's brides through a wide range of investigations, and he would focus on the special girls he could find. Lu Lu in the first village, Ling Ling in the nearby village, and the girls of Starwing Knights who would be found in other villages were all Yun Xi's targets.

However, can they really become Water God's bride candidates?

Yun Xi felt that Yun Que and he had missed something.

Water God desired change. It wanted to find a turning point to change the world.

Was this great god really looking for the most beautiful girl? Would it be that simple?

What did "Water God's bride" mean to the world that was dominated by Water God?

"Anyway, let me finish the first side quest. I will name it as 'Bride Expansion Plan'!" Thinking it over carefully, Yun Xi finally made the decision.

Since he couldn't just see the girls of Starwing Knights becoming Water God's brides, therefore, he would propose to them all so that they would be exempted from the list of bride candidates.

Lu Lu was the first. Ling Ling would be the second. Of course, Hua Yue, Xiao Cao, Mei Lan, and the other girls, none of them could be left out. Since they were involved into Water God's world due to him, he must take his responsibility. However, there was an insoluble problem with his plan.

"Will they accept my proposal? I am Water God's Apostle in this world, and they don't know me. Will they really accept a stranger's proposal?"

Gazing at the pounding green gem in his hand, Yun Xi was at a loss. The stars wouldn't give him a quest that he would be unable to complete. As the only side quest he could do currently, there must be a way to achieve it. For this reason, even if they refused him, he must propose to them again and again, till he was accepted by them and obtained their powers.

"Lu Lu, can I do it?" Finally, Yun Xi asked Lu Lu, the first girl who accepted his proposal.

"Yes, master, you can do it. You can believe in me. You are an excellent, charismatic man. No girl can refuse your proposal. Please trust your wife!"

Lu Lu answered Yun Xi seriously. She gasped her hands and made a decision in her heart.

She must do her best to help Yun Xi achieve his goal!

Chapter 166: Side Quest Four

"I hadn't expected that I would need to learn how to propose someday." Looking at the green gem on his finger tip, Yun Xi felt that there must be something wrong with this world.

He had prepared himself to die hundreds of times to challenge the most terrible monsters in Water God's world. However, there was no such monster that he needed to defeat, or at least, the enemy hadn't appeared up till now.

Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword was still in her primary form. Even ordinary people could kill the green slimes easily. Using the power from his Water God's Mask, he had easily collected thousands of Shaya Longnis' avatars, and the green gem aggregated by green slimes was shaking on his finger tip.

"You are a part of the Sky Sword's avatars? It's really hard to imagine." Pinching and rubbing the green gem, Yun Xi felt that it had a very smooth feeling, like a girl's skin.

The green gem jumped around in Yun Xi's hand and seemingly it wouldn’t escape. Probably its intelligence wasn't able to support its understanding of the meaning of "escape".

A slime wasn't a creature that lived by its speed, defence, or attack. It was simply because it could divide itself infinitely and could survive in any area.

One can find Ice Slime on ice-capped mountains.

One can find Lava Slime in lava lakes in volcanoes.

One can find Sand Slime in dry deserts.

One can find Deep Sea Slime in places that were ten thousand meters deep under the sea.

Thinking it over carefully, the slime race wasn’t strong. However, no matter how harsh the environment was, the slime race could produce subspecies to suit the environment.

If it wasn't because the slime race didn't have too many strong individual units, probably they would be able to rise amongst all kinds of races.

No. In fact, slime race was rising because they had had their race's child, Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword, who was already as strong as a god. As a non-human being, she had been recognized as a Sky Sword. This fact itself had shown how strong she was and what great talent she had.

In fact, it was too difficult for Yun Xi to deal with such an enemy now. However, no matter how difficult it was, Yun Xi wouldn't use it as an excuse to run away.

"So, if I want to survive, the only choice is to propose to the girls?" Yun Xi thought again and again.

The meaning of this trial had gradually become clearer in his mind. From the sleeping beauty in his newbie trial, to the princess imprisoned in the tall tower in his formal trial, then to the side quest in this trial... he guessed that the stars were teaching him how to love.

Unlike the previous trials, in this world, his goal had been expanded to dozens of times bigger. This time, he had to propose to all the Starwing Knights.

"I can become stronger and stronger through proposing and there isn't a limit?" Yun Xi acutely realized the key point to achieve his quests in this world.

Yun Xi could overlap his power with other people's powers infinitely. This was a striking property. Habitually, Yun Xi used his best-known unit, green hippo, as the measurement criteria. A hero-ranked person could slaughter a hundred green hippos as easily as winking, but it didn't mean that the person's power was a hundred times stronger than the green hippo's power.

Overlapping a person's power to another person wasn't simply equal to one plus one. For example, it wasn't easy for an ordinary person to beat the 10 second barrier in 100-metre dash. However, if an ordinary person could overlap his strength with another person's strength, the person would even be able to beat the 8 second barrier easily.

The change in quantity causes the change in quality. If Yun Xi's strength was two times stronger than the green hippo he faced in his newbie trial, then he could beat down dozens of green hippos at the same time. Once the limit was broken, he could become an invincible god of war!

Yun Xi counted how strong he would become after he obtained all the girls' powers. He was shocked by the calculation. He probably wouldn't be strong enough to defeat Shaya Longnis at that time, but he would still reach a realm that was beyond his imagination.

Moreover, Side Quest Four didn't have an upper limit, which meant that he could propose to as many girls as he wanted. Theoretically, he would finally be able to fight against the Sky Sword. Of course, it was just a theory. Yun Xi didn't know how strong the Sky Sword was, and how many girls' powers he would need to obtain before he could defeat the Sky Sword.

At the least, it wouldn't be sufficient if he only proposed to the Starwing Knights’ girls. He didn’t know how many strong beings were in Water God's world. However, if there was a legend-ranked unmarried female and she accepted his proposal, he would stand a chance.

Is there really such a strong female existing in this world?

"Isn't this a bug?" After obtaining Water God's Mask, Yun Xi felt that the power he could use now was already very exaggerated.

However, Side Quest Four had let him realize that if he could understand how to love and how to propose to a lot of girls, even the fourth rank would become just a starting point for him.

Chapter 167: How to Propose

"Is 'learn to love' more effective than 'death battle'?"

Looking at the Side Quest Four, Yun Xi fell in doubt.

It was hard to believe. However, it seemed that the stars really thought that "learn to love" was more effective. They even reminded him through such an obvious method.

If he wanted to survive in future battles and finish the other quests, the basic principle was to finish Side Quest Four first. To love, then become strong enough to experience the death battle. The stars' love was too heavy, to the extent that Yun Xi wanted to cry.

“In fact, I don't want to propose to so many girls. I want to be an upright gentleman!”

However, it seemed that the stars didn't think so. In that case, even though Yun Xi had obtained his Water God's Mask and could control the mist in this world, he still needed to do Side Quest Four to strengthen himself. In order to achieve that, he had to ask for his first fiance's help.

The next morning, Yun Xi found Lu Lu.

"You mean, you want to know the etiquette and instructions for proposing?" Looking at Yun Xi who had just finished the wedding ceremony (and Yun Xi still thought that it was just an engagement ceremony) with her, Lu Lu's face turned red.

"In fact, master, you don't need to be too concerned. You are a great Apostle. As long as you ask, there would be many girls who want to marry you. Oh, right, the other girls in the village also have feelings for you. Master, do you want maidservants?"

"No. I need fiance’s... no, brides." Yun Xi looked at Lu Lu awkwardly.

Why could he only finish the Side Quest Four through this method?!

Normally, in order to become stronger, shouldn't he wash his body under the waterfall, brandish his sword in water to increase his stamina, or sit in meditation on the summit?

"Umm... Of course, master, an excellent man like you deserve to have excellent brides. Let me introduce the customs in this area. The most common method to look for lovers is to take part in the ceremony which will be held regularly by several villages together. If a man wants to propose to a girl, he will give the girl a gift during the ceremony. If the girl receives the gift, the man will have an opportunity. The more expensive or rare the gift is, the more sincerity and respect the man is showing. Of course, the social status gap between the man and the girl is also very important. However, once the man promises to marry the girl, there is no turning back."

Lu Lu smiled and continued, "Master, you are a Water God's Apostle. Your engagement has the highest level. Therefore, even if you don't give a girl a gift and only make a verbal contract with her, both of you won’t regret it, otherwise, it will be regarded as an irreverence to the great Water God."

"En. Ceremony, activity, the gathering place for young boys and girls. Gift, important, special, engagement, betrothal gifts, witness, marriage contract..." Yun Xi took out a notepad and recorded the main points Lu Lu explained on it.

After recording them, Yun Xi suddenly found that the engagement between Lu Lu and him didn't meet the common sense in this world. It was just a spur of the moment. He proposed to Lu Lu simply because she was a member of Starwing Knights. Before that, they hadn’t  met each other nor had they loved. He behaved like a scum who cheated her and took  advantage of her difficulties.

It wasn't right. It was wrong.

Lu Lu wasn't his childhood sweetheart. Even in Starwing Knights, she was just a girl who longed for "Mei" but not "Yun Xi". Even though she wouldn’t remember what happens in this world after the trial finished, shouldn't he feel guilty for cheating this innocent girl?

"Sorry, Did I miss too many things? I haven't prepared a gift for you..." Yun Xi said, but Lu Lu suddenly covered his mouth with her hand.

"No. It's enough. Haven't you given me a most precious gift? Mountain Lord's hair is a priceless treasure! You gave it to me and it let me become a third-ranked pharmacist, nothing could be better than that. I'm satisfied."

“You really are a good girl.” Looking at Lu Lu's smiling face, Yun Xi felt even more guilty.

Sigh. If it wasn't because Side Quest Four was his only opportunity to fight against the Sky Sword, he wouldn't want to do this.

"Come here master, these are the fruits I just picked. Let me feed you." Lu Lu said.

She had known Yun Xi's goal. Since the great Apostle wanted to marry a lot of girls, then as his first fiance, she needed to help him. As for why he wanted so many brides... Wasn't it a matter of course that a man like the great Apostle wanted to have a lot of descendants?

The world wasn't as peaceful as what it seemingly was. Disaster could strike at any time. Even in this ordinary village, people did their best to produce descendants in case that unexpected disaster would deplete the number of villagers.

Strong people were respected by everyone because they could protect ordinary people. And Water God's Apostles were the people who were at the top of the social class in this world because they could listen and relay the great Water God's words. They were god's spokesmen, they were the people's heroes. Each of them had the power to change the world.

As an ordinary girl who was proposed to by such a great man, it must be her destiny, Lu Lu thought in her heart. Therefore, it was her responsibility to help him achieve his goal because she liked the way the great Apostle was very much.

Chapter 168: Lu Lu's Love Diary

When I first saw him, he was riding on the formidable, god-like Mountain Lord's back. Our village is located in the mountains and needs a three days walk to reach the nearest city. Mountain Lord was the greatest, most terrible creature they had ever seen.

Mountain Lord was Water God's subordinate and didn't eat humans, and its existence itself was enough to make the villagers feel reverence. Therefore, the villagers continued to offer it sacrifices even during the most difficult of days.

There were countless legends about Mountain Lord in the village. It was said that Mountain Lord was hundreds of years old and had defeated a lot of hero-ranked creatures who had tried to occupy this area. Mountain Lord had invulnerable fur, could bathe in fires and leap over mountain streams easily. Mountain Lord liked to eat beef. It only ate the beef from cattle that were about one year old.

Ever since Lu Lu could remember, the villagers had told her countless times that no one should provoke Mountain Lord or walk close to its lair. Mountain Lord was sacrosanct in the villagers' eyes. Till that day when two people who were greater than Mountain Lord arrived in this village.

They were Water God's Apostles, the spokesmen of the great god, the people that were longed for by all intelligent beings. No one dared to pretend to be an Apostle. Only the people who were chosen by Water God could wear a Water God's Mask.

At that moment, all the villagers understood that the most honorable guests had come. Lu Lu didn't know the reason, but when she saw the man who wore the silver mask, her heart couldn't stop pounding.

Why? They had never seen each other before, but she felt close to the honorable Apostle she had just seen.

She had a feeling that she knew this man, even before she was born in this world. However, it was impossible.

Both his broad shoulders and mature temperament had hinted that the Apostle was far older than her. Compared to him, she was just like a child.

When she was asked to be Water God's bride, she was really scared, because nobody in the world knew what would happen after becoming Water God's bride.

Water God was the only supreme god in the world. Even though over 90% of the people in the world believed in Water God, but no one had really seen the god with their eyes. To mortals, the god was just a distant, untouchable symbol, and only the god's Apostles walked around the world to preach the god's will.

She was afraid that she would never return to the mortal world after marrying Water God. He must have seen her frightened face and thought that she was a naive girl who couldn't be left alone, so he proposed to her to protect her in this way.

She knew it. She knew that she was pitied and protected. However, she also knew that she had fallen in love with the Apostle, who did his best to help her. He felt the weakness in her heart and stretched out a helping hand. She was too immature compared to the gentle Apostle.

When he proposed to Lu Lu, she froze.

What should I do? Is my expression strange? Will he think that I'm a weird girl? Why am I so immature? Whoooa!

When he held my hands, I found out that his hands were very large, and his expression was steadfast.

Is this what an adult should become?

Compared to him, Lu Lu thought that she was too indecisive. She stayed awake the whole night and pondered again and again.

No, how can a girl like me make him like me? Why aren't I a mature lady? If so, I would have the guts to answer him freely and bravely.

What? The Apostles were going to leave? They would go to other villages to choose new candidates for Water God?

Why? I haven't given him my answer! Was it because my indecision disappointed him?

No, it wasn't due to her, Lu Lu knew it. To the great Apostles, Water God's will was the most important thing. This village was just the first station on their journey.

“From the beginning, I shouldn't have felt hopeful to become the great Apostle's bride.” Lu Lu thought in her heart. However, it wasn't the end. I needed to tell him my answer. Even if he rejected me, I should let him know my heart!

Maybe I still felt afraid and my will wasn’t strong enough, but I will tell him!

"I will! I agree to be your bride! I want to stay with you! I fell in love with you at the first glance!"

Thank god! The Apostle hadn't left. He was still in the village!

This must be the last opportunity fate gave her!

Therefore, I told him, then got the answer I wanted.

...

Holding the fresh vegetables and fruits from other villagers in her hands, Lu Lu ran along the village path with a smile. She was happy and even the wind in her ears was euphonious.

In the golden sunshine, the man who wore the silver mask was leaning on the giant white tiger's body, as bright as a sun.

Today is still a sunny day.

I hope that he can find more beautiful brides!

Chapter 169: Yun Xi's Gifts

"Engagement gifts and betrothal gifts?"

Yun Xi leaned on the white tiger's soft belly. He kneaded the green slime gem and was lost in thought.

Lu Lu was so pure that she didn't even ask for any gift from him. She was just a rare exception. This world had its own traditional love system and courtship ritual. Since he had decided to finish Side Quest Four "To Love, Starchild!", he should be preparing gifts for the girls he would propose to.

However, there was the problem. Apart from a few weapons, materials, and the green gem, he was literally as poor as a church mouse. If he hadn't become Water God's Apostle, he couldn't even freeload off this village.

"Even though this isn't a real world, there must be a reason for their proposal ceremony. At least, the gifts must be something I have chosen with my true heart. Otherwise, they will lose their memories in this world, and it will be too sad to them at that time."

Yun Xi kneaded the green slime gem and made a decision. At any rate, he should present the best gifts he had for them as engagement gifts. He would send them to his fiance’s, the of Starwing Knights girls.

The engagements would be fake, the fiance’s would be fake, and the world itself was just a fantastic dream, like a bubble under a summer sky. However, at least the gifts he would present to them would be real. Perhaps this was the only thing he could do in Water God's world for them.

"The best gift I can offer them is... not something from the people in this world, but something made by myself." Yun Xi gradually figured it out as he basked in the sun.

Yes, a gift which could only be made by him in this world, a gift which had never appeared in this world, the thing that was most popular amongst the Starwing Knights girls. They even held rated battles for it!

"There are honey, cream... no butter, but I can make it myself. Got the enriched flour, but I have to make an oven and baking tools myself." Yun Xi nodded after listing all the materials and tools he needed.

He could do it! This world didn't have "bread", and the villagers were used to eating pancakes that were made of wheat flour. However, it was simply because they hadn't learned suitable fermenting technology.

Water God had no connection with any other worlds, just like the period before star bridges were built amongst different god's domains. It wasn't surprising to learn that there was no "bread" in this world.

"I think that 'bread' can be a decent gift in this world. With my mask's power, I can make bread that will retain its freshness for as long as possible. Oh, right, I can also control mist during the working process."

Yun Xi suddenly saw the light. He knew how to use his hero-ranked power now. To bakers, it was very important to blend water and flour when making bread. When one was "bringing yeast into play" and "kneading dough", "water" was a necessary factor. In fact, the bread's taste and quality had been decided even before it was put into the oven.

"Baking" was just the last step. Laymen thought that it was the most important process, but in fact, it was the simplest step in the eyes of experts. Yun Xi had a feeling that with his Water God's Mask, he could make unprecedented, perfect bread.

"I've decided! Even though the world is fake, the bread I will make will be real! Apart from that, I don't have anything else that can be presented to them. Let me start!"

Yun Xi got excited after realizing what he could do and what extent he could reach.

"Lu Lu, can you go to the smithy to order these things for me? The faster the better. Oh, and I also need fine flours and creams."

"Little Mu, you are their Mountain Lord, can you look for these things for me? Yes, mushroom, vanilla, and honey. I have seen them in the forest."

Soon afterwards, Yun Xi had collected all the materials and tools he needed. Benefiting from his identity as Water God's Apostle and Little Mu's dominance in the forest, all the materials and tools were the best.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Lu Lu asked with curiosity.

"It's just an idea. Lu Lu, I will give you a foretaste in a short while." Yun Xi felt satisfied looking at the familiar materials and tools.

Compared to being Water God's Apostle, he preferred to be an ordinary baker. It was time to give his first fiance a gift. The first bread in this world would be born in his hands.

"Therefore, I will make butter bread. Everyone likes it and it's the bread I know best!" Yun Xi was itching for a try.

Why? Even when he fought with the green hippo in the dark forest, he didn't feel so excited.

Why? It was the simplest food he had made countless times for his childhood sweetheart, Hua Huo. However, when he made it again in this strange world, he couldn't stop his heart from pounding.

Had something just changed?

Maybe it was because it was a gift he would present to his fiancee, so that is why he felt so excited.

"Foretaste?" Looking at the flour, cream, and honey in the front of Yun Xi, Lu Lu couldn't imagine how to mix them and eat them.

Well... even if they taste bad, I will eat them all! It will be the food made by the Apostle personally. As his wife, I can never say "It tastes bad!".

"Huff!" Yun Xi took a deep breath. There was mist between his fingers.

"..." The soft, slippery, green gem lay on Yun Xi's shoulder and gazed at him curiously.

Chapter 170: Upgrading!

"Gee? This is..."

Yun Xi's every movement looked holy and mysterious in Lu Lu's eyes. When he reached out his fingers (which were covered with mist) and started to do something to the flour, she firmly remembered every step in her heart. However, she couldn't understand what Yun Xi was doing.

Of course she couldn't understand. Yun Xi's skill was the most consummate skill that was summarized by countless bakers across thousands of years. It was the crystal of wisdom inherited by bakers from one generation to another. People who hadn't reached this rank could never understand it.

A third-ranked baker could already be regarded as a master in the mortal world. Even though a third-ranked baker wouldn't be as strong as a third-ranked swordsman, their skill would still far surpass ordinary people's imagination. In fact, a third-ranked baker was rarer than a third-ranked swordsman, because ordinary people wouldn't continue pouring their energy, time and enthusiasm simply for becoming a third-ranked baker.

As a third-ranked swordsman, you would have endless glory, wealth and power. However, if you were a third-ranked baker... not only that, including painter, musician and pharmacist, in ordinary people's eyes, you were just a "human" who had perfect technique.

As long as you were talented in battle, even if you could only reach the first or the second rank, your status would be higher than that of a person who had achieved a third-ranked non-combat career.

Only the people who had poured their hearts into their careers would have the chance to reach the third rank in their careers. Yun Xi was the only third-ranked baker in the small town’s history where he was born. After he completed the baker’s third-ranked professional certification, countless nobles and rich men had sent out invitations to him, trying to recruit him to be their chef.

Even if it were in the outside world, a third-ranked baker was pretty rare, not to mention in Water God's world. Water God's world wasn't as peaceful as it seemed. Pharmacists were popular due to the danger in this world. As for the people who were good at making food... they were very rare.

In other words, Yun Xi was the only third-ranked baker in this world. He could even call himself "the best cook" in this world.

...

I understand! So that is what it is!

Controlling the mist, Yun Xi could feel that he was in excellent condition. Everything originates from water. Water is the subtlest part in food that can influence people's taste buds, and bread wasn’t an exception.

Now, with the power of his Water God's Mask, Yun Xi could even control the water molecules in the dough. He was like a person who was using a cheat and could remove all flaws from the raw materials perfectly.

It should be more water molecules here.

There are impurities. Reject them.

Ok, the proportion is perfect. I shouldn't change it.

For the first time, Yun Xi used the power of his Water God's Mask to make bread.

He was brainstorming. Countless ideas were emerging in his heart like a fountain. He suddenly understood the parts he felt confused about when he made bread in the past.

The essence of cooking was to use water, fire, and raw materials in a proper way. The best chef could make a perfect dish with the simplest seasonings and freshest food ingredients. It was a general rule to all cooking-class careers. If you could release the food's natural delicate flavour, you could make the mortal world’s best food.

As a third-ranked baker, Yun Xi had touched this realm a long time ago. The butter bread he made even contained a special effect that could restore a person's physical strength strikingly when eaten. He had reached a mortal’s limits. However, something had been changed now. With the power of Water God's Mask, he was surpassing a mortal’s limits.

"Water molecules, accelerate!"

Yun Xi knew how to handle raw materials well with ease. However, he didn't put the semi-finished dough into the oven but started heating the dough in an incredible way.

A large number of water molecules moved fast and vibrated at a high frequency on Yun Xi's hands, toasting the dough perfectly and evenly. As Lu Lu gazed at him in surprise, the white dough gradually became golden, spreading a tempting scent in the air.

Is this Water God's divine power? Why did the dough suddenly become big in the Apostle's hands and emanate a pleasant scent? What is happening?

"I can actually do it in this way..." Yun Xi also felt shocked after seeing his idea come true. No, it wasn't a skill that could be learned by mortals. Whether it was the preparation method of the raw materials or the way to accelerate water molecules, the two techniques far surpassed a mortal's limit.

"Bang!" At the moment the first loaf of bread formed, countless information suddenly appeared in Yun Xi's mind. They were his perception to the world's nature and his understanding about super powers. The world had changed in his eyes.

It was the so-called "transcendence". From now on, he wasn't a mortal anymore.

In an instant, he understood it.

His rank was upgraded!

Not as a swordsman or as a greatsword maid, but as a baker. He was a fourth-ranked Baker now!

The upgrading process of common careers wasn't as complicated as the upgrading process of battle careers. It was a natural process after one finished a piece of work that surpassed a mortal’s limits.

A painter's upgrading process was to draw a painting that would expose your inner world and shock people's hearts.

A musician's upgrading process was to write a music piece that could strike a chord in the audiences' hearts.

A pharmacist's upgrading process was to create medicine that could even heal hero-ranked beings.

In a word, the upgrading standard for all non-combat careers was the same: to create a masterpiece that surpassed a mortal's limit.

"Bang!"

On Yun Xi's fingertip, the first fourth-ranked food he had made, the golden butter bread, suddenly became three times bigger as its tempting smell spread throughout the whole village.

Chapter 171: Imprint

Yun Xi didn't know what things a fourth-ranked baker could do. Even in the whole of White Lotus Sword Domain, there wasn't too much information about it, not to mention in Water God's world.

Yes, compared to combat careers which were very popular, non-combat careers were rare, and the people who could attain the fourth rank in any non-combat career were also as rare as the hair of a phoenix and the horns of a giraffe.

After all, if a person was talented, why would the person choose a non-combat career instead of a combat career?

Although non-combat careers were so common, if one wanted to reach the fourth rank, "talent" wasn't enough, one must "love" their career. Coincidently, Yun Xi met the two requirements. Undoubtedly, before this day, as a young third-ranked baker, he was talented in making bread and desserts. He was the only third-ranked baker in that small town.

Yun Xi loved his career from the bottom of his heart. According to his original life plan, he had planned to inherit his parents' bakery shop and marry an ordinary girl in the small town.

As a person who had met the two requirements and had obtained Water God's Mask, which had opened the door leading to the fourth rank for him, he had naturally surmounted the obstacle.

"It's a fourth-ranked loaf..." This was also the first time Yun Xi had seen a fourth-ranked loaf.

It was golden and spread a tempting scent. Up to this point, Yun Xi could still understand it. However, what was it about its size that it suddenly became three times bigger than before?

Moreover, Yun Xi felt that the loaf contained some special powers.

"Lu Lu, try it." In order to validate his idea, Yun Xi tore off a small piece of the loaf and put it into Lu Lu's mouth.

"Ah... wwoo!" Lu Lu nibbled the piece of loaf and felt the tempting taste in her mouth.

She had just put the soft piece of bread into her mouth, when a warm feeling spread in her body. Lu Lu thought that she had just seen a field of wheat under the golden sunshine. After the second bite, an unprecedented sweet feeling swept across Lu Lu's body and soul.

Delicious! How delicious!

Lu Lu could barely believe that it was a food made from flour, eggs, honey, and cream. She felt that she was basking in a sea of cream!

"Hum. The effects are... refresh energy, increase vitality, and... become beautiful?"

Yun Xi carefully observed Lu Lu. He saw her skin suddenly become as smooth as an egg shell, and even the calluses on her hands had also disappeared. He was able to determine that the fourth-ranked loaf did contain a fantastic power that could nourish skin and increase vitality.

In a manner of speaking, it was food that could be regarded as strategic material. Besides, the loaf was covered with a layer of special mist, which made it seem that it could prevent spoilage.

Just like all hero-ranked careers, fourth-ranked non-combat careers could also accomplish a quantum leap for the people who had achieved the rank. It was said that a hero-ranked painter could draw magical paintings, and a hero-ranked musician could play entrancing music. As a hero-ranked baker, the ability Yun Xi obtained just now was...

Yun Xi stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers towards the remaining raw materials. Time seemed to pause for an instant, and then was accelerated after that. All kinds of raw materials automatically permuted, combined, changed, leavened, and toasted. After ten seconds, a row of tempting butter loaves were arranged on the table in front of Yun Xi.

"Rapid prototyping and speeding up of the baking process? After I have made a sample, I can create same foods at any time as long as there are raw materials? Is 'Mass Production' the ability I have obtained?" Yun Xi closed his eyes and felt the magical ability.

As long as there were still raw materials, he could make as many different foods as he wanted in an instant. This was the special ability he just obtained as a fourth-ranked baker.

No, that wasn't the end. He had also obtained a stronger ability!

"Start, imagine, create!" Yun Xi remembered the process when he had made the loaf just now.

The process was imprinted in Yun Xi's mind like drawing a picture on a scroll. In his body, a part of his energy suddenly disappeared and was put into the scroll in his mind.

After that, an incredible thing happened. Without any raw material or tool, a sweet, soft and hot golden loaf suddenly appeared in Yun Xi's hands.

"'Bread Creation'! I can make a bread from nothing!"

Yun Xi slowly opened his eyes. Finally, he understood his strongest ability as a fourth-ranked baker: making bread from nothing! By using his energy, his knowledge, and love about bread, he could make bread which had already been imprinted in his mind.

"My body is bread, and my blood is wine. Eat my flesh and blood, you will obtain my blessing!" Yun Xi recalled and read the prayer before dinner of a god from Western God's Domain.

Yun Xi suddenly understood. The god was a baker, too!

"Awwoo! It's delicious! Master, why is it so tasty? Oh, look, everyone is here!"

Lu Lu ate the loaf and took a glance at the door, seeing that the villagers were all standing at the door.

"Well. Take it and share it with everyone." Yun Xi handed over the golden loaf to Lu Lu.

Theoretically, the bread he made personally, the bread made by his ability "Mass Production", and the bread made by his ability "Bread Creation", were all the same.

The difference was that the bread he made himself needed raw materials. As long as there were still raw materials, he could make as many loaves of bread as he wanted.

The bread made by his ability "Bread Creation" would take his physical strength and energy as the price, and before that, he needed to create a sample first in the real world, then imprint the process into his memory, so that he could use this ability.

Chapter 172: Twelve Candidate Brides

Incredibly, after becoming a hero-ranked baker, Yun Xi could also create a special personal-storage where he could store the bread he made. The storage spanned a hundred grids and wasn't in common use with his Stars System, which meant that he could only put a hundred loaves into it.

The bread he put in the storage would become increasingly perfect with stronger effects as time went by. It would become one of his trump cards.

All the abilities he had obtained were solely for making better bread. This was the greatest characteristic of hero-ranked baker.

Yun Xi hadn't expected that he would obtain a storage space for bread. It seemed that this was an exclusive ability of hero-ranked baker. Just like "Bread Creation" which could form bread from nothing, they were all special abilities that surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.

Hero-ranked non-combat career and hero-ranked combat career were entirely different.

"Then let me set 'fill one hundred grids' as a starting goal. I don't have a more advanced recipe, so I’ll make a hundred butter loaves." Yun Xi was in high spirits.

Today was Yun Xi's happiest day since he became the so-called "Starchild". He did not need to consider anything and just needed to make as many loaves of bread as he liked.

...

At the same time, the loaves Yun Xi had made caused a stir in the village. The villagers left three loaves for Lu Lu because she was the Apostle's fiancee. Apart from that, all the remaining loaves were snatched unreservedly.

To the villagers who only knew how to make pancakes, bread was a magical food that had never appeared in Water God's world before. Moreover, the loaves they ate were made by a hero-ranked baker!

Most people bit their tongues the moment they bit into the bread. It was too delicious! Its unprecedented, sweet, soft taste captured their hearts immediately.

The scent of fermented wheat blended with the scent of honey and cream. This perfect taste could satisfy the most critical gourmet, not to mention these ordinary villagers.

"As I thought, the Apostle is a man who creates miracles." Lu Lu licked the white cream off the corner of her mouth and looked at Yun Xi's room with reverence.

...

"Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, a hundred!" After imprinting a hundred butter loaves without a break, a fit of dizziness came over Yun Xi.

He was exhausted. As he had expected, "Bread Creation" wasn't as simple as it seemed. After making a hundred loaves of bread, his physical strength thoroughly drained. Even a child could push him down.

Fortunately, these one hundred butter loaves in his storage represented that Yun Xi's efforts were not futile.

The storage would continuously save energy into the bread Yun Xi made, making these loaves become unique as time passed.

"If I get stranded on a desert island in the future again, food will be the least of my worries." Yun Xi mocked himself as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead. He remembered the biggest problem the girls on the island were facing.

No matter how ingenious he was, he couldn't make bread without raw materials until today. After the grain reserve they had collected from White Lotus was eaten up, they had to obtain raw materials from local sources. Naturally, there wouldn't be milk, flour, eggs and honey on the island, and after knowing that the island was a monster's eye, Yun Xi didn't want to eat any animal on the island.

Now, he was able to solve the problem perfectly.

"Bang! Bang!" The green slime gem jumped back and forth on Yun Xi's hand, wondering where the sweet, soft loaves were.

"What? Are you hungry?" Yun Xi poked the naughty green slime gem.

What a fantastic being! He had collected thousands of slimes and they still kept their size so small, as if there was some core controlling the slimes to maintain the size. Obviously, it had no brain, but it had a strong survival instinct.

After knowing that Yun Xi wouldn't eliminate them, the green slime gem even became intimate to him.

"It's hard to believe that you can finally evolve into a strong Sky Sword. Look, you can eat this loaf." Yun Xi squeezed out his remaining energy and created a new butter loaf, putting it in front of the green slime gem.

"Bang!" The green slime gem jumped to the loaf, which was dozens of times bigger than itself, and started to roll on it.

It wasn't obvious, but Yun Xi did see that it was eating the loaf. Yun Xi observed it in curiosity and found that it absorbed the butter loaf bit by bit in an unknown manner.

"You... are really incredible creatures... I hope that you will be harmless till the last moment." Yun Xi slowly closed his eyes.

It was more tiring than he had expected to make the one hundred loaves. However, in this case, he had finished preparing the engagement gifts for the Starwing Knights girls. A hundred loaves were a little too much, but it should be okay since Yun Xi remembered that Starwing Knights girls all liked to eat butter bread.

The next ceremony would be soon.

...

"It's too strange. What a coincidence..." Yun Xi frowned as he gazed at the twelfth scroll in his hand.

It was hard to believe that each of the twelve villages in this area had an excellent girl like a crane standing among chickens.

Lu Lu, Ling Ling, Mei Lan... compared to the ordinary girls in the villages, their appearances and talents were apparently far above average. It wouldn't be surprising if there were only one or two excellent girls. However, it was the same for all the twelve villages? There must be some reason.

"Twelve candidate brides in twelve different villages..."

Chapter 173: Yun Que's Anger

"What a coincidence." Twelve excellent girls in twelve different villages, and all of them had distinctive charms. What was the probability?

At the least, Yun Que didn't believe that it was just a coincidence. There must be some reason. After closing the twelfth scroll of the candidate brides, Yun Que opened the map she had made.

"I have collected all the necessary information in this area. It's time to go to the cities. Compared to small villages, it's more likely to find suitable candidate brides in cities."

After making this plan, Yun Que frowned as she looked at the map she had made.

"That guy... is he still in the first village?"

She didn't want to admit it, but the Apostle called "Yun Hai" was strong. She had even failed to figure out the limits of his power. Both of them had a Water God's Mask, however, his "Water Mist" was more efficient on the battlefield, which could easily turn the situation in battlefield around.

If he wanted, he could win a war all by himself. Compared to her ability "Blood", which could only be used in small battles, his ability made him look more like a legendary Water God's Apostle.

Maybe this was the reason why Water God chose him to be his Apostle. However, since he was so talented, why was he often derelict in his duty and carried out irrelevant business?!

He never took Water God's quest to his heart and whispered of love with his fiance all day. In her imagination, he must live a dissolute life every night.

What a shameless, salacious man! He didn't deserve to have his great talent!

"Calm down. Even though this guy is immoral, he is still very strong."

Having received the benefit of Yun Hai's Water Mist, they had eliminated most of the green slimes in the area. His ability was indispensable at present.

"Ignore him, ignore him! Everything is for finding the most suitable bride for Water God! I must finish this quest!" Yun Que took a deep breath.

No matter the sacrifice and whatever the cost, once she accepted a quest, she would never give up on finishing it. This was her principle in life. In order to achieve her goal, she wasn’t beneath using unscrupulous tactics.

Even though the man named "Yun Hai" was a shameless pervert, as long as he would come in handy, she would suffer him patiently and silently.

It's time to move.

...

"When will I go to the nearby cities? Yes, of course I will go, but I can't leave before the ceremony." Yun Xi nodded to Yun Que, and told her that he needed more time.

"Ceremony? What's it? We don't have time to play! Our most urgent quest is to find more and more bride candidates for Water God! Before Shaya Longnis enters the second stage, we must seize every minute and second!" Yun Que was exasperated at Yun Xi's attitude. If her sight was as sharp as a sword, he would have been killed.

"It's for finding a method to fight against the Sky Sword... I can't explain it to you now... Anyway, you can go to the nearby city first, Yun Que." Yun Xi shook his head. He couldn't tell her the truth that his Side Quest Four was the key point to solve the whole event.

"Why are you so greedy for beautiful girls?" Yun Que had reached the end of her forbearance.

You are a hero-ranked Water God's Apostle! You haven’t performed your task and instead enjoyed your married life in this small village day and night. What's wrong with you?

Since you call yourself "Yun Hai", then take on the glory this name symbolized! The real Yun Hai the Sword Master was a legend in the whole Sky Sword God's Domain. He was one of the three "deicides".

In the Ten Leaves Alliance, the scrolls about him could fill up a room. He was the one who was most likely to inherit the title "Unrivalled Sky Sword".

After the first Sky Sword God's Domain master, the first "Unrivalled Sky Sword" disappeared, no one had obtained this title again. The current master of Sky Sword God's Domain was one of the three "deicides". Because there were three Sky Swords whose power were at the same level, none of them was strong enough to inherit this crowning title, becoming the new "Unrivalled Sky Sword".

Yun Hai the Sword Master was the youngest and the most gifted one amongst the three "deicides".

Unfortunately, he had also disappeared for a long time, and the other Sky Swords had no interest to scramble for power, otherwise, it would be still indeterminate who would become the current master of Sky Sword God's Domain.

"This... In fact, you misunderstand me." Yun Xi looked at Yun Que awkwardly. His impression of "him" was favourable, but it seemed that "he" misunderstood him too much.

"Then why did you propose to Lu Lu? She was very likely to be a candidate bride. Now, she has become your woman and lost her opportunity!" Yun Que couldn't understand Yun Xi's thinking process.

As a Water God's Apostle, he actually carried off his god's candidate bride. It was a sacrilege to the god! Why didn't he feel guilty?!

"My woman... no, you misunderstand us." Yun Xi shook and hesitated for a while, then said, "I know you think that I did something wrong, but there is a reason! At least, Lu Lu didn't deny my proposal. Both of us were sincere."

Yes, this was the point.

Side Quest Four "To love, Starchild!" wasn't a quest that could be simply completed by verbal contracts. In order to finish it, the girl who agreed to his proposal must be sincere from the bottom of her heart. He couldn't force nor cheat the girl. If so, it wouldn't be accepted by the stars.

"You..." Yun Que was speechless.

Yes. It seemed that "Yun Hai" had defied Water God's quest, but actually, he had done nothing wrong. After all, the girl, Lu Lu's smile was real.

She really loved this "scum". When Yun Que had found her and asked if she wanted to reject Yun Hai’s proposal, she had replied, "I wasn’t forced. I liked him of my own free will. Yes, I love him very, very, very much!"

Chapter 174: Strategic Materials

"Even if you won't be his only lover?"

Yun Que didn't understand why she still thought that she was happy, even though she wouldn't be his only one.

"Yes, I know. The Apostle had told me that he would have lots of brides." Lu Lu answered with joy in her eyes.

"I’m already very lucky for me to be his very first bride. He is such a mature and great man. As an immature girl, it's my luck to marry him. Every minute, every second I have spent with him is my treasure. No matter where he will go and what he will do, I will stay with him forever. This is my fate."

What a pure, innocent girl! Just thinking about "that scum" doing "this thing" and "that thing" to this girl every night, Yun Que felt sick to her stomach.

What a scum!

Why do I see white liquid (white cream) at the corners of her mouth?!

No, I shouldn't keep imagining!

...

"Hum, all of them are very cute..." Yun Xi looked through the twelve scrolls Yun Que had made.

Yun Que's paintings didn't contain an artistic taste. However, the paintings she had drawn accurately traced out the girls' appearances.

There were no artistic treatments in Yun Que’s paintings, but they exposed more of the girls' excellent, elegant demeanors. Yun Xi even felt that the girls had become more beautiful after entering Water God's world.

Their skins were as tender as water, and their temperaments were as bright as full-blown flowers, as if the air in this world was changing them. No one would know that they weren't as beautiful as now before they joined Starwing Knights. And now, in this world, these Starwing Knights girls were changed again.

Just like Lu Lu who had awakened her talent as a pharmacist, the other girls were also growing fast.

This time, this dream world was just too amazing!

"You! What do you mean? Don't tell me that you want to propose to them!" Yun Que mercilessly stared at Yun Xi with her sharp eyes.

You, this salacious guy! How many pure, innocent girls would satisfy you?!

"Ha ha... oh, right! You must feel tired after making such a long journey. Do you want to eat some bread?" Yun Xi quickly changed the topic and handed over a loaf of bread he had made to her.

"Bread? Where did you get it?" Yun Que looked at the golden loaf Yun Xi had handed over to her in surprise. She swallowed.

The cooking technology in Water God's world was still at a very low level. To villagers, a barbecue was already a very luxurious delicacy. As for bread... it hadn't been invented in this world.

After taking the sweet butter loaf from Yun Xi, Yun Que even felt a slight disorder.

"Gee? The loaf!" Unlike the ordinary villagers in this small village, Yun Que was an elite from the Ten Leaves Alliance. She immediately felt something unusual.

After taking a small bite of the loaf, she realized an amazing thing. It tasted like sunlight, making her feel that she was basking in the sun. All the blood within her body was groaning, with a comfortable feeling hovering within her mind.

"It's a fourth-ranked loaf! It's a strategic material! Where did you get it?" Yun Que carefully put the golden loaf into her pocket.

No, it wasn't because the loaf wasn't delicious. In fact, she admitted that it was the best bread she had ever eaten. However, compared to its taste, its effects of replenishing one's energy and physical strength were more important. It could become life-saving medicine if it was necessary! She couldn't waste its effects at present!

Even though she was an elite from the Ten Leaves Alliance, she wasn't qualified to obtain any fourth-ranked food. It wasn't something that could be bought by money, but through high-level strategic materials.

In the alliance, only hero-ranked killers could obtain a similar supply. She had only tasted similar food once when she had won the first prize in the alliance's boot camp.

It had been a fourth-ranked food named "Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation" which could replenish her magic power and physical strength strikingly, but she had eaten the biscuit in her advanced trial. After that, she had never obtained such a precious supply again.

If she had a "Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation" when she had tried to assassinate Hua Huo... she wouldn't have been forced to use "that method"!

No, forget it, forget it! Remembering the man that night, Yun Que was suddenly in a bad mood.

"En? Isn't it good?" Yun Xi looked at Yun Que in surprise. This was the first time he had seen the powerful red archer show such a painful expression.

Is the bread really that bad?

He thought that the butter loaf was one of his best masterpieces!

"It's not... about... the taste..." After a while, Yun Que had to admit that she couldn't say "It's not good!" against her own will.

"I'm glad to hear you say that. After all, I made the bread myself. Yes, it's fourth-ranked bread. It was the first time I had made fourth-ranked bread myself, and it seemed that it wasn't bad. Ha ha." Yun Xi let out a sigh of relief.

"You?... Are you a hero-ranked baker?! How can it be possible? It's a very rare non-combat career!" Yun Que couldn't believe what she had just heard.

Did that salacious scum just say that the bread was made by him?

Is he really so talented? Why is the universe so unfair, giving such a salacious, irresponsible Apostle such a powerful gift?

Hero-ranked baker! This career was even rarer than being a sorcerer! In the whole Ten Leaves Alliance, only very few cooks were fourth ranked, otherwise, "Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation" wouldn't become so rare.

"Yes, I just upgraded to the fourth rank not long ago. I think that my ability can be of some use to you." Yun Xi hadn't realized how useful his ability was.

In any case, "baker" was just a non-combat career. Even though he had upgraded to the "hero rank", it couldn't be more helpful than his identity as "Water God's Apostle".

"You... don't you know what it means?" Yun Que couldn't stand it any longer.

Can be of some use? His bread was a type of strategic material!

Chapter 175: Terrible Non-combat Careers

Taking "Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation" as an example, the hero-ranked cookie maker who could make this special supply could make five to ten biscuits every day. However, in the Ten Leaves Alliance, the demand for these special, precious biscuits was limitless!

Unlike spirit weapons or artifacts which demanded high requirements to their users, everyone could eat this type of special food. From a hero-ranked swordsman down to a mortal-ranked killer, even an ordinary person could get benefits from eating it with no side effects.

The number of biscuits the cookie maker could make was just like a drop in the bucket, they totally couldn't meet people's need. But what did she just see? The man named "Yun Hai" could make butter bread, which was clearly rarer than the "Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation"!

Both the golden butter bread's weight and effect had far surpassed the biscuit Yun Que had once eaten. If the effect of the "Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation" Yun Que had eaten was 10, then the effect of the sweet, soft, golden bread Yun Xi had made was 100! In a word, a golden loaf was equal to ten biscuits.

From what Yun Que knew, the cookie maker was a big shot in the Ten Leaves Alliance and was protected perfectly by the alliance. The cookie maker was more important than any of the hero-ranked warriors in the alliance... no, more important than that! Because the Ten Leaves Alliance could recruit lots of hero-ranked mercenaries easily, it was as difficult as climbing up to the sky when they tried to find any free hero-ranked cook.

The cookie maker, whose name was highly confidential, was cultivated by the alliance itself. Hero-ranked cooks were rarer than ordinary people's imagination. Even if this man named "Yun Hai" only exposed his ability of making the butter loaf in the outside world, countless forces would fight to recruit him, at all costs.

Hero-ranked non-combat career was a hidden career amongst all hero-ranked careers!

People thought that hero-ranked non-combat careers were "weak", but in fact, it was a complete misunderstanding. Once they reached the later stage of the hero rank, their abilities would reach a brand new realm.

Among all hero-ranked careers, "poet", "painter", "musician", and "clown" were four of the most dreadful careers, because it seemed that they had no fighting strength on the surface.

As for "baker", "cookie maker" and "pastry chef", who could make special food, they were rarer. They were qualified to be called "master".

Strong hero-ranked warriors could help in increasing a force's fame, however, hero-ranked cooks could help in increasing the whole force's upper limit!

And now, such a "master" was standing in front of her!

Why did such a shameless, salacious man have such great talent? What a big waste!

Could it be that only abnormal people had the potential to become a master?

If so... Yun Que looked at Yun Xi with a peculiar expression.

It seemed that it was the truth.

To hero-ranked non-combat professionals, they must be fanatical towards their careers, and their upgrading methods were also totally different from the upgrading methods of combat careers.

Most hero-ranked painters were incurable pursuers of beauty.

Most hero-ranked musicians were fanatics of all kinds of weird sounds.

Most hero-ranked clowns were psychiatric maniacs.

As for bakers, cookie makers, and pastry chefs... if they weren’t monomanias, how could they focus on making food all day and cast special, fantastic effects in foods?

In other words, almost all hero-ranked non-combat professionals weren’t normal people!

All the normal people in the universe had gone to practice their combat skills, and only lunatics were willing to practice their non-combat skills till the hero rank! They were all eccentrics, because normal people couldn't make bread or cookies containing magic power.

They could change the rules of the world in some sense, which was far beyond ordinary people's understanding. Strong hero-ranked warriors could smash a mountain with a single blow, shake the earth with a single stomp, and change the wind and clouds with a single roar. However, even though they were incredibly powerful, they couldn't draw a magical picture, play euphonious music, or make a piece of "Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation".

Hero-ranked non-combat professionals were closer to the nature of the universe and would eventually become terrible "monsters". They were not inferior to the strongest hero-ranked warrior in the world in some sense.

If they reached the sixth rank, standing at the top of "hero rank", they would become a painter who could draw the world's nature, a musician who could play "death", or a clown who could bring "madness". They told people in this way that non-combat careers weren't as weak as people thought. They were geniuses above geniuses!

And now, there was such a genius in front of Yun Que.

He was a "Water God's Apostle" who could control mist within a wide range. And also, he was a "baker" who could make fourth-ranked golden butter bread, which was ten times more precious than "Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation".

He had two hero-ranked careers and was eminent at both of the careers.

"What a terrible man." Yun Que whispered, looking at Yun Xi who hadn't realized his worth.

"Great, you like it. It seems that my bread isn't bad." Yun Xi let out a sigh of relief. If Yun Que, who was always serious and meticulous, also liked my loaf, then it shouldn't be a problem to present the bread to the girls as engagement gifts.

Everything is under my control! What I should do next is to propose to the other eleven girls!

Chapter 176: King of Spiders

Mist. The surface of Water God's world was covered in endless mist.

Only when the sunlight shone on the whole world, did the mist, which always hovered within the forests, on the mountains and lakes, be slightly dispelled, but never totally vanish. In fact, apart from the roads, villages, and cities which were protected by some unknown power, the whole world was covered in mist.

It was a daily scene in Water God's world, and it had become a part of this world in ordinary people's eyes. Just like the sun in the sky, the mist on the ground was also a natural thing to all living beings in this world. They regarded it as a part of the great Water God's avatar.

Even though there were always some terrible monsters born in the mist, it was also a natural part of this world's natural rules.

The people in Water God's worlds were blessed by Water God and hardly ever suffered hunger, then why did they think that "Strong people can marry a lot of girls"? Because there was such a danger. They needed to guard against risks in this manner.

There were unknown dangers lingering in the mist.

In a deep cave, eight eyes slowly opened. A creature's eight ruby-like pupils looked around as it wondered where it was.

"Hiss!" It ejected black threads out of its mouth and spun a dark spider-web as quick as it could, in case that there was any enemy. However, it sensed nothing dangerous.

Where is this? Who am I? Where am I from?

It had forgotten a lot of things, and only a sense of anger was lingering in its mind.

Yes, it remembered. It was the king of Dark Shadow Spider Race, the king of spiders. It once dominated a wide area in the void, hunting all creatures who dared to enter its dark shadow web.

In the dark void, "prey" was very rare. Unfortunately, it could go nowhere else. The Dark Shadow Spider Race had lived in the void for thousands and thousands of years. Only when void turbulence happened, there may some preys be involved in the void.

Every time they found any prey, the whole Dark Shadow Spider Race would cooperate with each other to hunt down the prey and then decide if they should procreate new offspring according to the prey's weight and rank.

The dark void was very desolate. Even at the best of times, their number wasn't more than one hundred. In order to survive, it ate its race's members one by one, until finally, there was only itself in the void.

However, it didn't mind. This was what they were, forced by the cruel environment. In order to perpetuate their race, they didn't mind being unscrupulous. At any rate, even though it was alone, it was also a hermaphrodite at the same time. As long as it could find sufficient food, it could produce new offspring itself.

Only the strongest individual could survive in the void, and as the king of spiders, it deserved to be the ruler of that area in the void. Since it wasn't possible to find new prey, it entered a dormant state, waiting for the next void turbulence in its sleep.

According to its experience, it only needed to wait dozens of years before the next void turbulence happened. At that time, new prey would be dragged into this area by the void turbulence and become its food.

However, a change occurred, which was earlier than it had expected. A fantastic silver creature tore apart the void, coming into this area from a very distant world.

"Strong... charming..." At the first sight, its heart had been conquered by the silver creature's charm.

It had nothing to do with race or gender. It was simply impressed by the silver creature’s pure, strong power. Even though it was the king of spiders, it still thought that it was as negligible as dust in front of the creature's giant body and hazardous might.

The silver creature broke the seemingly immutable void, forcibly opened a door leading to an unknown god's domain, then squeezed itself through that door.

All beings in the void, including the beings it had seen and had never seen, went mad.

On the other side of the door must be a vibrant world, which should be protected by the universe's rule at first, but now, it was opening up to them nakedly.

To the beings in the void who struggled to live day after day, this world with endless food was a dreamy fairyland! At that moment, regardless of their race and rank, they all fell into a fanatic condition. They rushed towards the door like a swarm of hornets.

The next moment, they were killed.

Countless void beings who were far stronger and more terrifying than it, were chopped and minced by an ice blue sword. In that instant, thousands of void beings had been killed by the sword.

Sky Sword. After seeing the ice blue sword, the terrible memory about Sky Sword, which had been imprinted in void being's blood, revived in their minds.

Yes, it was the rule, the field of Sky Sword God's Domain.

The giant, silver creature could break through the sword, unfortunately, they couldn't.

The guardian of the door had never disappeared. However, it saw the cracks on the door. There was still a slight opportunity. Strong void beings had all been killed, but some weak creatures who were good at hiding had luckily entered the door.

It was one of these lucky ones. Its desire of "producing more and more offspring" made it overcome its fear. It stealthily moved close to the crack and came into the fantastic world. Unfortunately, it was severely injured when it crossed the door. Its body had been weakened to an incredibly feeble extent, and it caused its biggest failure in its life.

At first, it was just a simple hunt to find more prey to produce offspring. However, it suffered a deadly blow which was even worse than what it had suffered when it slid through the crack. To save its life, it made its choice. It gave up its most important thing and ran away.

"I lost... half of myself..." The king of spiders, no, it had become the queen of spiders now. The queen of spiders raised its claw and looked at itself with its red, vicious eyes.

It couldn't produce offspring anymore!

After losing its "male" half, it would never have any chance to have new offspring! The Dark Shadow Spider Race would become totally extinct once it died too.

It was an absolutely irreconcilable hatred!

Chapter 177: The Birth of a Queen

Revenge! Revenge!

It must kill the person who killed its "male" half at any cost! It must take revenge for the extinction of the whole Dark Shadow Spider Race!

Insane murderous intent spread across its whole body as a bloody color sprawled over the black threads.

"Hiss!" With painful roar echoed in the cave, the spider queen slowly moved towards the exit of the cave.

Suddenly, it saw a strange crystal which was filled with green liquid. Countless sparkling green slimes jumped around inside the green crystal. If that was all, then it was just a common scene because it was not surprised to see slimes inhabiting caves. They were the lowest creatures in caves. However, these slimes were different!

"Hiss!" After observing these slimes for a while, the spider queen shivered with a shocked expression in its eight eyes.

The green crystal was producing slimes at a fixed and high frequency!

At short intervals, the green crystal would produce one hundred slimes. At this speed, this cave should have been filled with countless slimes, but the number of slimes in this cave didn't change. Why? Because once the number of slimes in this cave reached a certain extent, a part of these slimes would suddenly vanish in this cave.

Void transport! As a void creature, the spider queen immediately realized their movement method. Even if it was the dark shadow spider queen, it wouldn't be able to do it because only the beings whose power had reached the seventh rank could tear open space.

The power of space was pretty rare even amongst all hero-ranked powers. It was said that it was close to the nature of the universe.

The people who could control this power could even call themselves "the god's domain's favourite"!

"There… you are..." A muffled sound suddenly rang in the spider queen's ears. It couldn't help but take a step back, curl up its legs and lower its head.

As a void creature, it naturally noticed that the sound was from a presence that was far beyond its imagination, who had far surpassed any void creature it had ever seen.

Perhaps only the holy, beautiful, silver creature was on a par with the presence.

However, compared to the holy, beautiful, silver creature, this presence's voice was more nefarious, just like what it had often heard from its race members.

Undoubtedly, it wasn't a benign existence.

"Surrender to me... and become my subordinate..." The muffled sound from the green crystal echoed in the cave. After hearing it, the green slimes around the crystal started to evolve themselves at a high speed.

The second stage, which Yun Que once told Yun Xi about, was starting here, and was doomed to spread to the whole Water God's world.

"Kill the slimes in this world to stop the slime race's evolution" was just a whimsical joke. The source of the slimes in this world was right here, in this deep cave. As long as the green crystal hadn't been destroyed, the slime race's evolution would be unstoppable.

It was the will of Shaya Longnis the Sky Sword, the whole slime race's only child of god.

"Yes, the great child of god." The presence’s spirit touched the spider queen's mind, and immediately, the spider queen understood what a great existence it was facing.

She was born in the lowest race, but finally became an inconceivably strong presence. She had thousands of appearances and avatars, and she was the embodiment of the whole slime race. As long as there was still any slime in the universe, she wouldn't die.

She was the oddest Sky Sword, Shaya Longnis.

To the dark shadow spider queen who had lived in the void all its life, Shaya Longnis was a presence that was greater than its wildest imagination.

"I... grant you... human form... find the trace of the god in this world... for me..." As green lights emerged from the crystal, one green slime after another turned into green mist and flocked to the dark shadow spider queen.

The spider queen was covered with a layer of green mist. It crouched down in fear and twisted in pain. All its veins and nerves were permeated and infected by the green mist, turning to a strange direction.

Even though she was still incomplete, she was still a Sky Sword, the strongest presence in the whole Sky Sword God's Domain. Shaya Longnis’ will could transform the hero-ranked dark shadow spider queen's body as easily as turning her hand.

"Hiss! Hiss!" The green mist dissolved the queen's whole body and transformed it to a brand new form.

Under the faint green light in the cave, a black-haired woman came into the world. Her hair was as dark as night, hanging down to her ankles. Her charming face stared at her body in wonder and confusion.

"Ugly... Why is this body so ugly?" Even though any man would be enchanted by her perfect body at the first glance, unfortunately, it was a dark shadow spider. It didn't understand what this human form meant.

"Look for... Water God's Apostles... then... catch the Apostle who wears a silver mask!" The dark shadow spider queen didn't know if it was her illusion, however, she felt that the great Sky Sword, Shaya Longnis, was grinding her teeth when she said it, as if the Apostle with a silver mask had done something unforgivable to her.

"Your will is my life mission, my lady!"

Chapter 178: Yun Que's Warning

Several days later.

Yun Xi hadn't known that he had been targeted by a most terrible presence in this world. He was preparing for the coming ceremony.

"One, two, three... one hundred!" After counting the loaves of bread in his storage again, Yun Xi smiled with satisfaction.

This was the seventh day since he had arrived in Water God's world. The time in this world was far faster than in the real world, therefore he didn't need to worry about his and the girls' bodies on the island.

He would finish this trial in his best state, and today was the most important day in his plan!

The people from the nearby twelve villages and far away places were all waiting for the ceremony to start. It was hard to find out when this kind of ceremony, which combined its functions with blind dates, trade, and celebration, started. Perhaps it formed naturally in the villagers' daily communication.

Once the ceremony started, it would become the most rumbling time of the year. The participants weren’t just some villagers, because even some townspeople were keen to take part in the ceremony.

This time, the ceremony was held in a village that was not far away from Lu Lu's village. Ever since three days ago, there had been caravans passing by this small village and they bought Lu Lu's potions and medicines at a high price, which made Lu Lu grin from ear to ear.

"Master, are you ready?" Lu Lu lightly rapped on the door and looked at Yun Xi in admiration.

"Yes. Take it, it's a bread I just made." Yun Xi snapped his fingers.

A hot butter loaf suddenly appeared in the air. Even though it was just common fresh bread which was far inferior to the bread in Yun Xi's storage, however, it was still a treasure to Lu Lu.

"Awwoo... Master, how many girls will you propose to?" Lu Lu nibbled the sweet bread and asked Yun Xi in curiosity.

"Uhh... about eleven girls. It would be better if I can find more suitable girls in the ceremony." Yun Xi remembered the girls' faces, especially Hua Yue and Xiao Cao. If he could obtain their powers, his strength would leap to a new level.

Yun Que's record had warned him that some elite slimes had appeared in other places. It wasn't good news at all. Obviously, Shaya Longnis the Sky Sword wasn't going to give up on invading this world.

In order to survive and finish his quest, this ceremony was crucial. Maybe Yun Que would feel very angry after knowing about his behavior, but he had no choice. Once remembering that the eleven girls he would propose to had all been recorded in Yun Que's scrolls, Yun Xi felt stressed.

Cough, it is really not my real intention!

"Master, cheer up!" Her encouragement wasn't fake, because the girls in Water God's world must accept this fact. Strong people shouldn't have only one wife, they must marry as many girls as they could. As his first wife, she must take the responsibility.

"You... are a good girl..." Yun Xi looked at Lu Lu with guilt.

Fortunately, to Starwing Knights girls, this world was just a dream. After they woke up, they would remember nothing.

"Yes, I'm a good girl. Since that is so, how about tonight..." Lu Lu blushed and hinted at Yun Xi.

"Ha ha ha, we should go." Yun Xi noticed Lu Lu's eyes filling with anticipation.

He stiffly changed the topic. It wasn't a problem to hold a courtship ceremony with her, after all, it was just a ceremony. However, he wouldn't do anything to Lu Lu, because he wasn't an animal in season.

He felt that in this world, Lu Lu was more childish than when she was in the real world. What was the reason?

The great stars, I only want to be an upright gentleman!

...

Rivulet Village, which was known as the meandering rivulet beside the village, was having its busiest day today. Thousands of people from the nearby villages and cities had come to this quiet small village.

Most of them were the protagonists of this ceremony, the unmarried girls from nearby villages, and the others were the young men who would do their best to propose to them.

Due to this reason, some special goods were very popular here.

"Come here, come here! Look at the latest perfumes from the Holy City! They were made by a third-ranked junior perfumer, who is also a seventeen-year-old beautiful girl! We have only thirty bottles of perfume. First come first served!"

"Come here, come here! Look at the latest moisturizer made by Master Lu Lu! What? You don't know who Master Lu Lu is? She is the only third-ranked master in this area! I bought this new produce at three times price!"

"Yoke Grass is on sale! It's said that if you can tie your lover with this grass, your marriage will be made in heaven!"

"Guess lantern riddles! It's free to pick and choose whatever you like!"

Literally, these merchants knew what these girls liked.

Perfume and moisturizer had all been bought in a quarter of an hour. Even the Yoke Grasses, which were quite a lot, had all been sold out in half a day. The ceremony was bustling from the early morning, and this vibrant scene was what Yun Xi and Lu Lu saw when they arrived at this village.

"Gee? Yun Que? Why are you here?" Yun Xi gazed at the Apostle at the gate of the village in surprise.

"Humph. I knew you will come here at this time." Yun Que darted a look at Yun Xi as if he was something dirty. She threw a scroll to him.

"I just found a new bride candidate. I warn you, you can do whatever you want to the other girls, but never put a finger on these bride candidates! Never!" Yun Que raised her voice. "Lu Lu was an exception, and I hope that she is the only exception. Do you understand?"

"..." Beads of sweat dripped from Yun Xi's forehead.

What could he do now?

Chapter 179: Dangerous Target

"I’ve things to do. The twelve bride candidates are supposed to come here, and it's your responsibility to protect them. Don't forget your duty as a Water God's Apostle!" Yun Que stared at Yun Xi and turned away.

Yun Que didn't want to work together with this man at all. She liked to follow prescribed order and obtained harvests with great effort. To her, Yun Xi's existence itself was a paradox.

He was so talented, holding two careers, hero-ranked baker and Water God's Apostle simultaneously, however, he actually loafed away his time all day and was only concerned with love and romance. What a waste!

She didn't understand what this man was thinking. Obviously, Water God's quest was the top priority, but he just wasted seven days in the first village, and only cleaned the slimes around the village casually.

"Ha ha... sorry, Yun Que." Yun Xi sighed.

Although it seemed that he was stealing what was entrusted to his care, but he didn’t regret his decision. Today, he must propose to the twelve girls, saving these Starwing Knights girls from becoming Water God's bride candidates!

Uhh... wait. Twelve? Shouldn't there only be eleven girls? Yun Xi opened the scrolls he got from Yun Que. He froze.

Something he hadn't expected happened!

This... this girl! She wasn't one of the Starwing Knights girls!

On the scroll, it was a beautiful woman with black hair and snow-white skin, who looked extremely noble. Yun Xi didn't remember any Starwing Knights girl that was so mature. She was like a queen out of a black fairy world. With a prideful, alluring, demon-like temperament, she stood quietly in the picture. Especially her deep eyes, which looked like a pair of soul-sucking abysses, leaving him a dark, dangerous and mysterious feeling.

She was absolutely not a member of his Starwing Knights!

"Who... is she?" Yun Xi's heart pounded. Obviously, this was the first time he had seen this beautiful woman, however, he had a feeling that he had seen her before!

Why do I feel nervous when I look at her picture?

Can it be the so-called "fall in love at first sight"?

Since she was specially selected by Yun Que, she must be unusual. Yun Xi had this foreboding.

"She is beautiful!" Lu Lu was jealous. She didn't know the reason, but when she looked at the picture, she felt disgusted and filled with hostility.

No, I shouldn't be so narrow-minded! I shouldn't feel jealous! I'm the great Apostle's first wife!

Although Lu Lu reminded herself of this in her heart, she still felt that the mysterious black-haired woman... was different. However, Lu Lu couldn't say which part was different.

"Yes... but it's strange... is she a native of this world?" Yun Xi took a close look at the picture and was sure that he didn't know the black-haired woman.

Then, why did his heart pound fast when he looked at the picture?

What a mystery.

Since she wasn't a member of his Starwing Knights, she wouldn't subconsciously take a shine to him just like Lu Lu. It would be too difficult to pursue her.

I shouldn't put her into the list of "my fiancee candidates" now. Yun Xi thought in his heart.

After all, if she didn't want to marry him, his proposal would be meaningless. The girls must "voluntarily" accept his proposal, otherwise he wouldn't be able to finish Side Quest Four.

"She... isn't one of my goals." Yun Xi let out a sigh of relief after making this decision.

Why? Why do I feel nervous even when I just look at her picture?

"What a pity. She is so beautiful." Lu Lu also let out a sigh of relief, then started to blame herself for her jealousy in her heart.

Such a beautiful woman surely could be an excellent bride. Lu Lu, why are you so narrow-minded? You can accept other girls, why not her? Is it because of her age? Indeed, she is the most mature woman in the scrolls. Her attractive body surely can let the great Apostle feel as if he is in heaven.

Compared to herself... Lu Lu felt inferior looking at her own chest. She sighed at the unfairness of fate.

Whoooooooh, why do none of the medicines I know enhance breasts?!

"Pa!" Suddenly, a memory flashed through Lu Lu's mind. She rubbed her temple in confusion.

Multi-headed Demon Dragon Blood, Dragon Blood Alliance... some strange information suddenly appeared in Lu Lu's mind.

Does such a monster exist in Water God's world?

"Ok, we should go." Yun Xi reorganized his mood and walked to the bustling ceremony together with Lu Lu.

...

In a cave which was one kilometre away from the village, the spider queen slowly stretched herself in the darkness. It wasn't very comfortable to walk in the outside world in her human form. She even spent twelve hours learning how to walk on two legs.

When she had just walked out of the cave, she didn't even deviate from her habit of walking with four limbs. It was too hard to keep her balance when walking with two legs. Human's body structure was too inconvenient. However, for Shaya Longnis the Sky Sword, her current master's order, she had to appear in the human's world in this troublesome form.

There was countless food in this world. Compared to the void, this world was too noisy. She had to refrain herself with great effort to not hunt the humans who walked on the streets with no self-protection awareness.

"Hiss!" After weaving one dark shadow web after another, the spider queen finally stopped and transformed into her human form again.

She had gradually gotten used to transforming between the two forms.

It's time to hunt!

The dark shadow spider queen put on the robe made of her black threads, exposing her dangerous eyes.

Chapter 180: Ling Ling is Tempted

Ok, I will start!

I'm serious! I will really start!

… I will start!

Whoa! It's too shameful!

Yun Xi looked at all the girls around him, sweating profusely under their curious eyes.

Following Lu Lu's suggestion, he sat on the square in the center of the village. Around him, there were hundreds of young men who had the same intention like him.

The youngest boy was about fifteen years old, and the oldest man looked like he was fifty years old. These young men were from different villages. According to tradition, they all put a small table in front of themselves.

On the tables were the gifts they had prepared for the girls they would propose to, including perfumes, potions, unknown rare herbs, and homemade bone sculptures. They were the best things they could offer.

"Showing one's gift" was a part of the ceremonies tradition and the most important selection criteria to the girls who wanted to find the right person. The gift represented the man's career and the degree of his love.

In order to marry the most excellent girl, countless young men rummaged their brains on choosing gifts every year. There were many tips. The most expensive gift isn't the best gift. If a man simply put gold bricks in front of him, he would be despised by everyone. The gifts must hit the right note with these girls.

Gifts such as perfumes, skin moisturizers, flowers, and art works were always very popular. There were not too many girls who would refuse to accept them. But today, there was a sort of gift that had never been seen by anyone before.

Yes, there was the golden, soft, sweet, hot bread Yun Xi put on the table in front of him.

The golden bread had been slightly heated by Yun Xi's "Water Mist". Apart from Lu Lu, it was a brand new gift to all the girls at this ceremony.

They didn't know what it was, but its special scent made them wonder if it was a type of food.

But... how can any food in this world be so beautiful? From its golden colour and the pure white decoration on it... isn't it a work of art? How can it be a food?! It must be very expensive. Why would this man like to use it as a courtship gift at this rural ceremony?

Looking at the ten butter loaves Yun Xi had put on the table, the girls around him froze. Almost everyone was attracted by these beautiful loaves of bread.

Amongst these girls, eleven girls felt a sense of familiarity when they saw the loaves of bread, but also, they were sure that they had never seen these "treasures" before.

In this old world, people hadn't learned how to process yeast and refine milk to cream. People couldn't imagine how to make bread. Moreover, Yun Xi's bread was made of his hero-ranked miracle power.

If Yun Que was here and saw Yun Xi using the golden butter loaves as gifts, she would go crazy. If she had such bread when she was badly injured, she wouldn't have had to save her life in that shameful manner!

"Codoon... I'm hungry..." Ling Ling wiped her mouth. She instinctively noticed that these golden things were food.

They must be very delicious.

No, she couldn't stand it any longer!

Just go, Ling Ling!

Ling Ling bravely walked towards Yun Xi.

"Ling Ling... it's you..." Yun Xi smiled as he looked at the familiar girl in front of him.

He still remembered that she was the most ardent one when these girls fought for his bread on the island.

Ling Ling was a straightforward, cute girl. She never hid her desire, and her eyes never lied.

"Are they... food?" Ling Ling swallowed as she looked at Yun Xi with longing.

"Yes. They are 'bread', Ling Ling." Yun Xi gradually got rid of his nervous tension.

The girl in front of him wasn't a stranger. She was the optimistic, vibrant girl who always followed behind Hua Yue in the Starwing Knights. Although her family had declined and become a dependency of Hua Yue's family, but Hua Yue and Ling Ling were on good terms. They were besties since their childhood. Even the sizes of their breasts were similar, making countless girls feel jealous.

"You know my name?" Ling Ling pretended to be ladylike, but she couldn’t stop her eyes continuously glancing at the bread, which had exposed her true intention.

"Yes. In fact, this isn't our first meeting. You like sweet, soft, hot food, don’t you?" Since Yun Xi had made food for the Starwing Knights girls on the island for so many days, he had known Ling Ling's preferences very well.

Her resistibility to sweet food was literally zero. Indeed, most girls liked sweet food, but Ling Ling's favoritism to sweet food was stronger than anyone’s.

In order to obtain his butter bread, she defeated one rival after another, finally becoming one of the top five amongst all the Starwing Knights girls.

Intriguingly, although she liked sweet food, she wasn't fat at all, as if all the sugar she had eaten had been absorbed by "some part" of her body, making other girls feel extreme jealousy with their eyes green.

"Ah ha ha, you know about that? It's a little sheepish. Everyone in my village is very poor and we don't have a lot of honey and sugar. I shouldn't have such a luxurious taste." Lu Lu looked at Yun Xi in embarrassment, then quickly stretched out her hand and grabbed one of the ten butter loaves.

"You know what this means?" Even though this was Yun Xi's true intention, he still reminded her about the result of her choice.

Ling Ling remembered the meaning of taking a man's gift at the ceremony. She blushed.

Chapter 181: Ling Ling Agreed

After a while, Ling Ling made her decision.

"I know! I know! I’ll marry you. Anyway, you don't look like a bad guy. Can I eat it now?" Ling Ling's expression looked as if she was saying "I won't give it to anyone!".

She tightly grasped the golden loaf in her hands and took a big bite. The sweet smell of cream and flour instantly spread inside her mouth. To the people within this world, their daily food was simply some boiled rice and vegetables, the first bite of bread was irresistible to them.

"Awwoo!" Ling Ling smiled happily. She seemed to have fallen into a nice fantasy.

It... It's too delicious!

If I can eat this food every day after I marry this man, it looks good to me.

Mama said that I should choose someone who can make me feel happy, and I must take the man's heart once I make my choice.

A good lady should believe in the man who had caught her heart!

"It's yummy!" Ling Ling's eyes glowed as she gazed at Yun Xi, as if she was trying to find out his true appearance hiding behind the mask.

Yun Xi let out a sigh of relief after seeing Ling Ling's burning eyes.

The bread was effective! ALthough he shouldn't say it, but Ling Ling was the simplest one amongst all the Starwing Knights girls.

She was easy to be tempted by toothsome food and wasn't good at thinking. Maybe this was the reason why she was Hua Yue's bestie. After all, people all like to make friends with these kinds of people.

"Give me one more!" After gulping the expensive fourth-ranked butter bread, Ling Ling gazed at Yun Xi with longing, as if she was a golden dog who had been starved for several days.

"Don't worry, there are still a lot. As long as you like my bread, I will make them for you every day." Yun Xi put nine butter loaves into Ling Ling's arms, looking at her with a smile on his face.

According to the traditional ceremony, as long as she accepted his gift and didn't accept other people's gifts after that, she would become his fiancee.

"You are tempting me, aren't you? I have a feeling that you’re familiar, and this isn't the first time we have met." Ling Ling looked cheerful as she looked at the butter loaves in her arms.

Maybe this was the so-called "fate". She met the right man at the right time and at the right place.

Why did he know that she couldn't refuse sweet foods?

"Yeah, perhaps I often made bread for you in our past lives." Yun Xi teased. How could Ling Ling know that he had known everything about her?

"Sigh, I'm out."

"Ling Ling is too cunning! I came here first!"

"Ling Ling is fastidious about food. I want to know how it tastes."

Other girls sighed after seeing Yun Xi put the bread into Ling Ling's arms. A lot of girls looked regretful. Ling Ling wasn't the only girl who was tempted by Yun Xi's mysterious gifts. However, she was the most careless one, so she accepted Yun Xi's proposal without thinking.

"Ling Ling, congratulations! You are the second now." Lu Lu ran towards Ling Ling, holding her hands with excitement.

"Lu Lu? Oh, since you are here, can this man be..." Ling Ling covered her mouth after seeing Lu Lu.

Lu Lu was one of the most excellent girls in this area, naturally Ling Ling had known who she had married. After all, this was one of the hottest topics in the nearby villages.

So, he is the legendary Water God's Apostle?

"Puff..." Yun Xi wiped the sweat on his forehead away. When he proposed to Ling Ling, he wasn't as calm as other people thought.

Fortunately, his bread proved a sufficient lure. Plus Ling Ling subconsciously had a good feeling about him, so he could succeed.

As expected, the number of his fiance's had increased to "two" in his star system. At the same time, a gust of new power was overlapped into his body, making him feel the power from Ling Ling clearly. Compared to Lu Lu's power, Ling Ling's power was hotter. Lu Lu's power was like a refreshing orchid, and Ling Ling's power was like an enthusiastic rose.

Yun Xi had a feeling he was like a gardener who was collecting flowers. Now, there were already two flowers in his garden. As a gardener, he must take care of these flowers mightily, and collect more and more flowers at the same time.

The garden's power is his power!

"Hello... can I eat your bread?" As Ling Ling smiled like an idiot, finally a girl plucked up her courage and spoke to Yun Xi.

"Mei Lan..." Yun Xi looked up. He recognized that this girl was Mei Lan, Xiao Cao's assistant, Ling Ling's rival in Starwing Knights. Unlike Ling Ling who was born in a noble family, Mei Lan was one of the core people of Xiao Cao's camp. Xiao Cao didn't mind if she could lead a camp. She only wanted to practice her sword. However, the other civilian girls naturally formed a camp, taking her as the core.

Mei Lan was Xiao Cao’s camp's actual superintendent. Under her help, Xiao Cao became the Starwing Knights vice-leader, forming a camp to stand up to the noble girls' camp as an equal. At other times, Mei Lan was always very calm and acted like a strategist. But now, she acted as if she was a little girl whose toy was just stolen. She pouted with an unconvinced look on her face.

In fact, Yun Xi had notice that she was the first girl who had found him and come to him. Although she had lost her memory and believed that she was a native, her leadership was still great. If she hadn't been born into a declined noble family, she wouldn't be inferior to Hua Yue.

Chapter 182: Mei Lan's Jealousness

Other than Lu Lu, most of the twelve bride candidates were under Mei Lan’s leadership in the real world. This fact matched Yun Xi's impression of Mei Lan. She naturally knew how to unite everyone as one.

If it wasn't because Hua Yue's status was too high and she herself was the strongest female swordsman in the Starwing Knights, Mei Lan would stand a chance to challenge Hua Yue's leadership.

After all, she was able to be ranked third on the rating list of the Starwing Knights girls. And the person who fought for the third place with her wasn't anyone else but Ling Ling, who looked silly but had great sword skill talent.

To Mei Lan, even though Ling Ling was naive, innocent, and callow, she was also a girl who didn't play by the rules. Ling Ling was the most thorough rival in her eyes. Even though they had come to Water God's world and had lost their memories, this point hadn't been changed. As soon as she had first seen Yun Xi's bread, Mei Lan had had a feeling that it was something unique in this world.

Without any reason, or it was because of her instinct as a smart girl, she was the first person who figured out that "bread" was a kind of food.

Then, they became "incredible foods" in her heart.

And later, they became "incredible foods that can even change the world".

She was the only person who had realized how special Yun Xi's bread was before obtaining any actual information.

No matter whether it was the tempting smell, perfect golden color or artwork-like surfaces, Yun Xi's bread was just like a treasure in a fairy tale, full of fatal attraction to Mei Lan.

Her heart was touched.

Because she knew how amazing Yun Xi's bread was, so she was more eager for them than anyone. For the first time in her life, she had an impulsion of "I want it at any cost!".

However, her self-respect stopped her from surrendering to "such a simple food" so easily. It was wrong!

I must be calm! I should exactly figure out what food this is first, then inquire from this man about its price and calculate how much money I can pay. Mei Lan thought in her heart.

If I only want to have one "bread", I think I can even haggle with this man. Isn't it?

It won't cause any problem if I just take a look at this bread. Also, it won't be strange if I just ask this man his gifts' origin and use.

Other people were still wondering if these golden things were food, and Mei Lan had realized how fantastic this food was. Nobody could be smarter than her. She would undoubtedly be the first.

So, first, I should be cautious and placid...

Then, Ling Ling agreed to the man's proposal before she had had a chance to do anything. Ling Ling didn't hesitate and directly took a loaf in her hand. She didn't even get suspicious when she did that. She acted like a hungry little dog who had just found its master. She ran directly to the man and stole Mei Lan's treasure.

Hey, don't you know a lady should be restrained?! How could you do it without thinking? Aren't you a lady? Aren't you a noble... wait, why do I think that she is a noble girl?

No, this isn't important!

The most important thing is that she has stolen my treasure!

Besides, is it really so delicious? What is with your contented expression? And what is with your blushing face? It can't be a love potion!

Based on her understanding about Ling Ling, it must be very delicious, which corresponded to her previous judgement.

Delicious, yummy, nice, good to eat... Looking at Ling Ling's happy face, Mei Lan was sure about it.

How annoying! Why her? She’s just an idiot, why is her instinct so sharp?

I'm the one who found this magical food first! It was me! Ling Ling came to this place simply because she found out that I was here!

At first, I thought that you could be my friend, Ling Ling. Too bad, you have become my enemy now. You’re my enemy who has stolen my treasure!

Even if you are going to die, I won't go to save you! I've decided to break with you once and for all. I will remember today's humiliation forever!

Finally, Mei Lan couldn't stand it and walked to Yun Xi's table.

I still have an opportunity. The man who has this food hasn't left.

Even though Ling Ling had stolen all my treasures, but at least, there is still a hope.

Never give up until the last moment.

I, Mei Lan, won't surrender so easily!

"Eh... Mei Lan, you also want it?"

Compared to Ling Ling who was a natural socializer, Yun Xi didn't know too much about Mei Lan. She was a rare smart girl whose mind was far more mature than her age.

However, Mei Lan looked different today. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried because her most important treasure was stolen. Her eyes looked desperate when she looked at Yun Xi, as if she had suffered a huge psychological blow.

"Yes, can you give me one, great Water God's Apostle? I think that you are the only person who can get this food. Am I right?"

Unlike Ling Ling, Mei Lan had known Yun Xi's identity from the beginning. After all, his silver mask was too special. Even though his clothes were simple and provincial, his temperament was still tempting to young girls. Even if he didn't put anything on his table, he would still be noticed by many girls.

When he arrived at this square, he had become the focus in the girls’ eyes. He just hadn't realized it.

"Ha ha, as expected, I can't hide from your eyes."

Yun Xi smiled in embarrassment. He didn't purposely hide his identity. It was simply because no one would expect that an Apostle would come to this ceremony.

In this world, Water God's Apostles were exalted. If he said it, he wouldn't need to join this ceremony and many nobles would scramble to marry off their daughters to him.

Chapter 183: The Second Fallen One

No one had expected that a great Water God's Apostle would come to this remote village and participate in the ceremony. However, Mei Lan had guessed right. She knew who this man was clearly, and only people like him could take out such fantastic food without hesitation.

At first glance, Mei Lan had had a strong urge to eat this golden food. She wanted to prove her instinct and judgment. Mei Lan had had thousands of ideas about this fantastic food which could even change the world. She had never felt so good.

But now, they had all gone! Ling Ling messed up all her plans and longings.

She is a humanoid demon. She is simply a shameless idiot! Her head is empty and the nutrition she had absorbed was all gathered in her beasts.

What a nasty creature! She didn't know the baseline of being human!

I will never forgive you. Never!

You have just stolen and eaten my treasure! I will remember this. I will never forget today's humiliation and gaffe.

"Give you, Mei Lan. Let's eat together." When Mei Lan was going to express her anger, a snow-white small hand suddenly appeared in front of her eyes holding a golden loaf of bread.

"You..." Mei Lan inanely gazed at Ling Ling, who was eating her bread with a bright smile.

It was such a precious food... how could she want to share it with me? What is she thinking?

"Cough... Sorry, I misunderstood you, Ling Ling. You are indeed a human. Be confident in yourself."

Mei Lan looked at Ling Ling in a different light.

"What do you think I am? I always think that I'm a human and have never lost confidence in myself!"

Ling Ling looked at Mei Lan with a "What are you talking about" expression on her face.

"Well, in fact, I still have a lot of bread." Yun Xi immediately took out some bread from his store.

"Gee? You still have bread?" Ling Ling's eyes brightened up.

"You still have bread?" Mei Lan was shocked. He still had a lot of this kind of amazing food?

It's impossible!

Mei Lan didn't know how this food was made, but she could feel the special qualities it contained. This was why she thought that this food could change the world. It must be expensive. According to Mei Lan's calculation, she thought even all the wealth in the twelve villages couldn't buy the ten loaves at all.

This was why she lost her cool after Ling Ling took away all the bread on Yun Xi's table. She didn't think that this food could be made easily. (If Yun Que was here, she would agree with Mei Lan's idea without prior consultation)

However, it was actually very easy to make this food. What a hero-ranked baker could do was far beyond a mortal's imagination. As long as Yun Xi had made a sample, he could continuously make the same bread without raw materials. Moreover, he could even store them in his storage and make them become more delicious and effective as time went by.

To Yun Xi, nothing would become a problem when he was making bread. He had reached the hero rank, which meant that he could already control the energy between heaven and earth.

Magic, divine spell, taoist spell, battle qi... hero-ranked combat careers were incredibly strong. However, hero-ranked non-combat careers were strong too, just in a different form. Impress, mediate, create object from nothing, exclusive storage... nothing was impossible.

Mei Lan wouldn't be able to figure out Yun Xi's special abilities if she only based her guessing on common sense. So, when Yun Xi took out more bread and put them on the table, Mei Lan was stunned.

Unlike other village girls, Mei Lan clearly knew how special these golden loaves of bread were. They were ten times more expensive than all the other things in this ceremony!

"Do you want to eat this?" Yun Xi casually took up a loaf and handed over it to Mei Lan.

Mei Lan hesitated. At this moment, many thoughts were hovering in her head.

What was the change this golden food would bring to this world?

How would her life be changed if she accepted it?

If she accepted the Apostle's gift, would she become happy?

Smart people always think too much. Yun Xi waited for a while but Mei Lan hadn't accepted the bread. He even thought that his proposal had failed.

"Take it!" Finally, Ling Ling helped Mei Lan make the decision.

She took the bread from Yun Xi's hand and put it in Mei Lan's hand.

"It's yummy! You will regret if you miss this opportunity, Mei Lan."

Mei Lan saw the light suddenly after hearing Ling Ling's words.

It was true. She couldn't miss this. It was about her fate. Unlike all her choices in her past life, this time, she was standing at the crossroads of her fate.

If she accepted the bread, it meant that she had accepted the Apostle's proposal and touched the string that could change the world.

If she gave up and declined the bread, it meant that she had given up a chance to change the world and her endless possibilities.

So, she had to make a choice. Mei Lan looked at the man who wore a silver mask.

She had imagined what Water God's Apostle looked like in her past life many times, but this time, it was her first opportunity to observe an Apostle so closely.

Why? Isn't this our first meeting? Why do I feel wistful?

Perhaps this was her fate.

She had made her choice subconsciously, hadn't she?

"I'm Mei Lan. Please take care of me from now on, great Apostle."

She was the smartest girl in the Starwing Knights. When she accepted his proposal, her shy expression made Yun Xi's heart palpitate with excitement.

He had his third fiancee!

Chapter 184: The Situation is Out of Control

The first step is always the hardest. After Mei Lan accepted his bread, everything went smoothly.

"Give me one!"

"Please give me one!"

"Well... I also want a loaf of bread."

Looking at the cute girls who were asking for his bread, Yun Xi had a feeling that he wasn't in a ceremony but a merchant who was selling his goods to hungry schoolgirls.

Don't they know the meaning of taking his bread?

No. They knew it. This was why their faces were blushing. However, they couldn't refuse his bread, the fantastic food that had never appeared in Water God's world before. They could do nothing but expose their true hearts.

After a while, Yun Xi had set out the second row of the loaves of bread he just took out from his storage. Aside from Lu Lu, Ling Ling, and Mei Lan, other Starwing Knights girls were enjoying his bread with happiness. Looking at their smiling faces, Yun Xi was at a loss.

Subconsciously, Yun Xi put the third row of the loaves of bread on the table, then they were immediately snatched up by the girls. By now, the twelve Starwing Knights girls had all signed contracts with Yun Xi, which was only at the cost of three rows of bread.

The number in his Side Quest Four had increased to twelve. Success came as a surprise, which even made Yun Xi feel confused. In fact, his trouble had just begun.

"Well... do you still have more bread?"

"We also want to eat them!"

"What does bread taste like? Why do they look so happy?"

More and more girls came and surrounded Yun Xi. They weren’t members of Yun Xi's Starwing Knights but the real natives from Water God's world. Compared to the Starwing Knights girls, they were shier and more reserved. However, when they saw the happiness on the faces of these Starwing Knights girls, they couldn't help but wonder.

"Sorry, the bread I prepared for proposing has all been eaten. However, if you just want to eat bread, I still have some."

Yun Xi immediately shook his head. He had no intention of marrying these indigenous girls.

In fact, if it wasn't because of Side Quest Four, he didn't want to do this at all. He wanted to be an upright gentleman!

"Now, it will be the time to witness the miracle." Yun Xi smiled.

Since he didn't need to force himself to propose to anyone from now on, he thought that he could display his hero-ranked ability as a trick to amuse these girls.

"Praise the sun, for granting us light. Praise the earth, for granting us food!"

"Pa!" Yun Xi snapped. A loaf of sweet, hot butter bread suddenly appeared in the air.

It wasn't a fourth-ranked golden butter loaf. A fourth-ranked golden butter loaf would take a lot of Yun Xi’s energy to make. This was just a common, third-ranked loaf of bread which couldn't improve vitality or moisturize skin.

Yun Xi could only make a hundred fourth-ranked bread in a day. However, it was easy for him to make a thousand third-ranked loaves of bread. If he only wanted to make the most common white bread, he could even make up to ten thousand loaves in a day! This was his special hero-ranked ability!

If he had sufficient raw materials, he could even support an army all by himself! No combat career could do this.

"Come and eat them. You’re all welcome!" Yun Xi had a superficial knowledge of the ceremony. He casually gave these loaves of bread to the girls.

"They are not as good as the bread I made before, but they are delicious too! Don't worry, they are just some presents on our first meeting."

Yun Xi smiled brightly. He put a pile of loaves of bread before these girls who had waited for a long time. The girls looked at each other. They were not members of Yun Xi's Starwing Knights, and they didn't subconsciously feel an affinity towards Yun Xi. To them, "accept Yun Xi's gift" meant a lot.

Finally, a girl made her decision.

"I’ll go first. Can you give me a loaf of bread?" A noble girl gently lifted her skirt and bowed to Yun Xi, then took away a loaf of bread.

Her behavior was like a domino effect, immediately setting off a chain reaction.

The girls had already been tempted by the smell of Yun Xi's bread. They succumbed to their desire one after another. Just like Mei Lan had guessed, the people in this old world had never seen this fantastic golden food before, they couldn't resist the temptation.

The bread made by the hero-ranked baker, Yun Xi, was undoubtedly a great temptation to them.

"Master's actions look smooth. It's great." Lu Lu looked at them and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, she would have a lot of partners.

"Strange. He could marry a lot of girls in a much simpler manner. Why did he use these priceless things as gifts?" Mei Lan nibbled her bread and wondered in her heart.

He was a Water God's Apostle. He could marry a lot of girls easily. As long as he came to big cities and spread his intention, countless nobles and rich men would marry their daughters off to him.

Why did he want to come to this remote village and present these precious treasures to us?

"Yummy... yummy... awwoo! We don't need to think too much. I would be satisfied as long as I can eat this delicious food every day." Ling Ling babbled as she swallowed her bread.

"No. There must be something we don't know. What's his intention?" Mei Lan pondered. She sensed danger from Yun Xi's unusual behavior.

"No... it's too bad..." Yun Xi was sweating profusely at this time.

I had told them that these loaves of bread were not engagement gifts and I just invited them to eat them!

Why are the number of my fiance's continuing to increase?

This situation is out of control!

Chapter 185: Water Mist Field

What happened?

Twelve, thirteen, fourteen... After Yun Xi presented his bread, the number of his fiance's was continuously increasing. After he realized that, it was already too late.

A hundred and seven. This was the last number after the bread on Yun Xi's table had all been taken away.

Why didn't the number keep increasing? Because it had reached the limit. No, it wasn't Yun Xi's limit but the number of the girls in this ceremony.

"Oh my god! Who is this guy?"

"No! I just bought a bottle of perfume with all my property!"

"Gosh! This man has so many treasures! Why would he like to come to the ceremony in this remote village?"

"Don't make fun of us! Why would such an honored man like you come to a place like this?"

All the young men around Yun Xi whined, trying to kill him with their eyes. However, they just stared at him. No one dared to do anything. Strong people obtain everything. Strong people take all. It was the natural rule of the world.

In Water God's world, strong people naturally obtained wealth, status, and honour, because there were horrible monsters hiding in the mist and ordinary people needed their protection. Ordinary people instinctively worshipped strong people.

Yun Xi was such a man. No one would think that he was an ordinary person after he took out such fantastic food.

If "the first row of golden butter loaves of bread were prepared in advance", then how would one explain the second and third row of loaves of bread? Moreover, everyone had seen Yun Xi creating bread from nothing. It could explain this mysterious masked man's true power.

He must be a hero-ranked person. The silver mask man wasn't at the same level with them.

After Yun Xi displayed that he could make food from nothing, the native girls finally decided to accept Yun Xi's gifts with excitement. Why? Because to them, Yun Xi's behavior wasn't just "share my food with them" as Yun Xi thought, but a rite.

Yun Xi underestimated the meaning of hero-ranked people in this world. He underestimated the temptation of his bread to these girls too. No girl who had taken bread from Yun Xi thought that it was just a present out of kindness. Such a priceless treasure shouldn't be presented with no cost. Yun Xi's self-righteous idea wasn't in keeping with the rules in this world.

"Accept Yun Xi's bread" was equivalent to "accept Yun Xi's proposal". No one treated it as if it was a joke, especially after Yun Xi exposed his hero-ranked power, no one thought that they would regret it.

Strong people couldn't be suspected or defied. You could refuse to accept their gift, and it was your choice to do so. Normally, hero-ranked people wouldn't force ordinary people to do something for them. However, once you made a choice and accepted the hero-ranked person's gift, there was no turning back. It was a common rule in Water God's world. In this old world, "honesty" and "morality" even overrode the law. Everyone in this world agreed with it.

In White Lotus Sword Domain, "sharing some loaves of bread with others" was just an insignificant thing, but this was Water God's world. Yun Xi mistakenly assumed that it wasn't significant in this world too. After Yun Xi realized what a mistake he had made, it was already too late.

"No! It shouldn't be!"

Yun Xi put on a long face. Looking at the girls who had started to chat about what clothes and jewelry they should wear at their wedding ceremony, Yun Xi felt that his outlook had crashed. He had just wanted to propose to the eleven Starwing Knights girls. At first, he encountered little twists and turns, but he solved them smoothly.

Ling Ling felt his enthusiasm and helped him complete his plan.

Everything would be perfect if only this and nothing more. If he knew that the situation would get out of his control, he wouldn't present his bread to these girls.

Yun Xi, you’re dead. I have a hundred and seven fiance's now? Oh my god, what should I do? How can I be an upright gentleman from now on? This is too bad!

...

Power was continuously being poured into Yun Xi's body. The power from the Starwing Knights girls and the native girls had all overlapped within his body, making him feel that he was going to explode.

If it wasn't because of the cold feeling from his Water God's Mask, which significantly relieved the hot feeling in his body, he would have gone mad.

Yun Xi could clearly feel the endless potential contained in his flesh and blood, which he had vaguely felt in his first limit practice but it hadn’t been as clear as it was now.

Yun Xi's power rose suddenly and sharply after obtaining the power from his one hundred and seven fiances. The range of the mist he could control had increased to ten miles, which had actually become his field.

"Gee? This feeling..." Yun Xi was exploring his ten miles Water Mist Field when suddenly, he noticed a black spot in his Water Mist Field.

He focused his attention onto the black spot, and gradually, the black spot became a clear figure. It was a black-haired woman who was bathing under a waterfall at the source of the stream beside the village.

She stood in the water, letting the pure water wash her perfect body.

Her skin was snow white and slightly red, as translucent as crystal.

Her slender body was graceful and exquisite, as flawless as a beautiful gem.

Her breasts were towering and heaving, as lofty as two towers.

Her legs were perfect and slender, which gave Yun Xi a feeling that they shouldn't appear in a mortal's world. Plus her slender, soft, pink feet, her beauty was seductive and breathtaking.

Chapter 186: Dangerous Encounter

It's her!

Yun Xi immediately realized who the woman under the waterfall was. Yun Xi looked at her knee-long black hair, enchanting face, perfect slender legs and soft feet. She just stood there but could naturally catch his eyes. Unlike the immature Starwing Knights girls, even a glance from her would let any man descend into madness.

She was the only Water God's bride candidate in Yun Que's scrolls that wasn't a member of Yun Xi's Starwing Knights.

No! I should stop snooping!

Yun Xi's nose almost started to bleed. He covered his nose and quickly looked away. If he had continued to look, he would have seen some weird things that were popping out from the waterfall. They were green gem slimes, which looked different from ordinary green slimes. Their bodies were much greener and they had crystal-like cores in their bodies.

After gushing out from the waterfall, those green gem slimes scrambled to attach themselves on the black-haired woman's skin and instantly turned into green lights, integrating into her body.

Shaya Longnis the Sky Sword was increasing the speed of her third stage.

"Hiss!" After Yun Xi averted his eyes, the dark shadow queen stretched herself under the waterfall. She frowned as she touched her slender legs awkwardly.

After a while, she had put on her black spider web robe and wore a gorgeous spider-style headdress, like a queen of darkness. She slowly walked on the path leading to the village. Now, she was only about a kilometre away from the village. With every step that she took, there would be green slimes jumping onto her from the bushes or stream, integrating into her body.

When she appeared at the entrance of the village, all the men looked at her and were amazed. Compared to the figure Yun Xi saw through his Water Mist Field, her true body was more seductive. Her eyes were cold and void, but it made her become more mysterious, making people want to conquer and obtain her. Her perfect body shape, slender legs, and full breasts contained fatal attractions to men.

"Water God's... Apostle..." The dark shadow spider queen licked her lips. She didn't mind the people's eyes and walked straight to the square where Yun Xi was.

When she walked, the people around her all fell into silence. Her charm hadn't only enthralled men, but also fascinated females. They could barely believe that such a beautiful woman really existed in this world.

"No... she is coming..." Yun Xi had a guilty conscience. Naturally, he had already noticed her.

She isn't looking for me! She isn't looking for me! We are not involved. It was just a misunderstanding! She shouldn't have noticed me!

Yun Xi sweated profusely. He stood up and was ready to run away.

He had a foreboding that this black-haired woman wasn't easy to deal with. She wasn't at the same level with the Starwing Knights girls and the innocent native girls.

Unfortunately, his strong sense of foreboding came true. The dark shadow spider queen ignored everyone else in the village and directly walked up to Yun Xi. As a hunter in the dark void, the dark shadow spider queen naturally knew how to find its prey. In the whole village, there was only one hero-ranked human. He was as bright as the sun in the sky and could never hide himself.

"I found you... it's you..." The dark shadow spider queen walked to Yun Xi's table and lowered her head, gazing at Yun Xi who was at a loss now.

"Y-yes? What can I do for you?" Yun Xi nervously gazed at the dark shadow spider queen.

Why? They just looked at each other but Yun Xi felt extreme strain.

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

"Peng!"

His heart pounded wildly, but he was sure that he just saw the black-haired woman eye to eye for the first time!

"You are the man who was looking at me, aren't you?" The dark shadow spider queen exposed Yun Xi's disguise without mercy.

He was the only hero-ranked person here. It couldn't be anyone else who was peeping at her just now. Besides, she sensed a trace of mist around Yun Xi, which put her on guard just now. She was a top-class hunter in the void. She wouldn't mistake it.

"Sorry... I didn't mean to..." Yun Xi had to raise his arms in surrender. He had realized that his disguise was useless.

"Water Mist... are you a Water God's Apostle?" The dark shadow spider queen hid her murderous intent and asked. However, her eyes were still empty and vacant.

In fact, she wasn't using her eyes to observe the world. All spiders had bad eyesight because they didn't need eyes to see things in the dark void.

She used her "web" to hunt. Not only the web made by her darkshadow thread, but also included her "web of sense". At this moment, the dark shadow spider queen had locked onto her only enemy in the village, Yun Xi, in her web of sense.

"Peng! Peng! Peng!" Yun Xi's heart beat faster. He swore that he had never felt so nervous in the face of any woman.

Why? Why couldn't he stop his heart from pounding when he looked at the mysterious black-haired woman?

This was just their first meeting!

"Well... do you want to eat bread?" Yun Xi suddenly had an idea. He took out a fourth-ranked butter loaf of bread, which he was prepared for proposing to the Starwing Knights girls.

"Food?" The dark shadow spider queen paused for a short while.

Darkshadow spider race always suffered hunger in the void. They wouldn't waste a bit of food at any time. Moreover, Yun Xi's bread wasn't some common food, but a fourth-ranked butter loaf, which could significantly replenish one's energy and vitality.

If Yun Xi hadn't taken out the bread but something else, the dark shadow spider queen would have captured Yun Xi and taken him away.

Chapter 187: The Queen's Satisfaction

The Dark Shadow Spider Queen pinched the fourth-ranked butter bread and sniffed. Her instincts told her that it was a good thing which she had never seen in the void.

After she transformed into human form and walked around in this world, she had seen hundreds of types of foods. Even so, the bread was also the most perfect food she had seen. A loaf of bread could replenish one tenth of her energy.

Don't think that one tenth is negligible. When it was still in the void, it always slept through the period of food shortage. Only when the dark shadow web it had weaved felt the trace of turbulence in the flow of the void, it would wake up.

Even so, most of the time, the prey it caught couldn't even provide more than half of the energy this bread could provide her, which meant that as the king of Dark Shadow Spider race and the top-class hunter in the void, most of the time in its life, it experienced extreme hunger.

When the energy couldn't even support them to sleep, Dark Shadow Spiders would gather together and hunt each other, so that the whole race could continue to survive in the void.

After eating all other Dark Shadow Spiders, it became the king of spiders, the strongest spider of its race.

In the void, the most common rule was "the survival of the strongest".

However, "all other spiders have been eaten" also meant that the Dark Shadow Spider race had reached the point of extinction. If it couldn't find sufficient food when the next void turbulence appeared, the whole Dark Shadow Spider race would vanish from the universe.

Fortunately, because the White Holy Dragon broke the void, it saw glimmers of hope. Taking this opportunity, it arrived at the sunny, vibrant White Lotus Sword Domain.

Then, misfortune happened. It was defeated by a group of "little bugs" and lost half of its body, becoming the Dark Shadow Spider Queen.

With a devout look on her face, the Dark Shadow Spider queen carefully put the hot bread in her mouth and nibbled this priceless food.

Her white teeth chewed, then swept every crumb of the bread in her mouth with her smooth tongue. She was so careful that she didn't even leave a drop of cream on the corner of her mouth.

The Dark Shadow Spider queen had been starved for many, many years. For the first time, she had tasted how wonderful a human's food was. The slimes she ate before were just like sawdust compared to the bread.

When her body absorbed those green slimes, she felt nothing. Those slimes were absorbed by her body like water and if she hadn't eaten Yun Xi's bread, she would have thought that it was a matter of course because "eating" was just a behavior of supporting life.

But now, she knew she was wrong. Totally wrong.

Perhaps because her body was in human form, her sense of smell, taste and vision were all like a real human. The wonderful taste of Yun Xi's bread had just opened a door for her, leading her to a brand new world.

At the same time, her true body could feel the same happiness too.

Yun Xi was a hero-ranked baker. His bread could replenish all hero-ranked beings' energy and vitality, no matter what race the being was. Which meant that no matter it was the Dark Shadow Spider queen's human form or her spider form, both of her forms were very satisfied with Yun Xi's bread.

She even had an illusion that she had never lived before she ate the bread.

"Does it taste good?" Looking at the Dark Shadow Spider queen's happy face, Yun Xi let out a sigh of relief.

His heartbeat had returned to normal, which meant that his nervousness had disappeared.

As expected, "food" was the simplest way to communicate between people. It seemed that the black-haired beauty was very satisfied with his bread.

It is really good that I have become a fourth-ranked baker before I came here!

"Delicious... tastes good... I'm satisfied..." The Dark Shadow Spider queen's voice sounded hoarse, because she wasn’t used to speak in her human form.

Even so, her voice sounded indescribably tempting, as if she was an abyss that was luring humans.

"You... are special..." After eating the first loaf of bread, the Dark Shadow Spider queen stretched out her hand to Yun Xi again.

"You want more?" Yun Xi embarrassedly looked at the Dark Shadow Spider queen, who was too close to him. Her white breasts made him feel dizzy.

"Yes... if you don't give me... I will eat you..." Obviously, the Dark Shadow Spider queen wasn’t used to human language. She directly threatened Yun Xi.

"Ah ha ha, don't worry. I’ll give you," Yun Xi blushed looking at the dark shadow spider queen's deep, beautiful eyes.

Did she just flirt with me? She was too straight!

As expected, she was different from the Starwing Knights girls. She was a proactive, sexy woman.

"This is the second. If you want more, I still have more," Yun Xi took out another loaf of bread from his storage.

"How much of this food do you have?" The dark shadow spider queen was very concerned about this point.

After all, the quality and number of food was directly related to the race's survival and future.

"Well, about sixty loaves of bread," Yun Xi didn't know the reason, but he naturally felt that this black-haired beauty was different from any woman he had seen.

Probably it was because of her age. Her charm was totally different from his childhood sweethearts, Hua Huo, Milei and Ye Li.

Her each and every move could make Yun Xi's heart pound faster. No man in the world could refuse her temptation even though they knew it was just like "a flying moth darting into the fire".

"How much of this food can you make every day?" The Dark Shadow Spider queen nibbled the bread and estimated her current state.

After becoming Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword's subordinate, she could eat as many slimes as she liked. Even so, those slimes still hadn't helped her recover to her perfect condition.

Incidentally, she had just met a green hippo not long ago, who had become a good meal for her. Unfortunately, the green hippo's meat was too rough, not delicious at all.

Of course, she didn't realize it till she had eaten Yun Xi's bread. Before then, there were only two things in this world: the things she could eat and the things she couldn't eat. Nothing was about "deliciousness".

Chapter 188: The Queen's Threat

After eating Yun Xi's bread, the Dark Shadow Spider queen finally understood that there were two types of food in this world: the food that could simply be used to replenish her energy and Yun Xi's bread.

Compared to all the food she had eaten, Yun Xi's bread was unique and fantastic.

If one evaluated food's quality with number, then a green slime was 1, a green hippo was 10, and Yun Xi's bread was 999!

Which meant that a loaf of Yun Xi's bread was equivalent to a hundred green hippos!

No! I shouldn't calculate it like that! The Dark Shadow Spider queen shook her head.

Even a thousand... no, ten thousand green hippos couldn't be equivalent to a loaf of Yun Xi's bread!

The Dark Shadow Spider queen couldn't find anything that was more precious than Yun Xi's bread in this world. As a person who could make this food, undoubtedly, Yun Xi had become special in the Dark Shadow Spider queen's eyes.

How much of this food could Yun Xi make every day? His answer would decide her attitude to him.

"About... a hundred," Yun Xi didn't think that he needed to hide it. Of course, it was because he knew too little about common fourth-ranked cook’s upper limit.

"A hundred?!" Obviously, this number was much higher than the Dark Shadow Spider queen's imagination. Even though she knew very little about this world, she still knew what this meant.

If there was a fantastic creature who had the same ability in the dark void, the creature would undoubtedly be seized by the strongest overlord in the void. Common races like the Dark Shadow Spider race wouldn't even be allowed to see "this treasure" with their eyes.

God’s domain worlds were full of miracles.

If she hadn't lost half of its body, probably it would have produced many, many offspring, making the whole Dark Shadow Spider race prosper again.

"Water God's... Apostle..." The Dark Shadow Spider queen's eyes became firm. She licked her lips.

I have decided! I will capture you!

"You must... become... my thing!" In front of the Starwing Knights girls, the native villagers, and Yun Xi, the Dark Shadow Spider queen announced.

This was a sign which meant that she had prepared to hunt. In the past, she used soul-stirring sound wave to announce it, and now, she used her mouth to announce it.

"Whoa! This big sister is proposing to him!"

"He is a Water God's Apostle! She knows it and still propose to him. She has guts."

"A woman propose to a man proactively? It's rare. Who is this beauty?"

After hearing her announcement, the people around her was first shocked and then showed an "as expected" expression on their faces.

In this world, strong people were respected. They had natural advantage on everything.

"A woman proposes to a man" only meant one thing: the woman thought that she was stronger than the man, so that she had the confidence to say it.

Yun Xi had exposed his hero-ranked power. After seeing this and having accepted his gift, the black-haired woman still proposed to him proactively. The only reason that could explain it was "she is a hero-ranked person too". Maybe she was even stronger than Yun Xi, so that she didn't fear to propose to him.

"Master has great charm! Even such a beauty has been captivated by him!" Lu Lu looked at the Dark Shadow Spider queen enviously. She secretly compared their body shapes and felt ashamed of herself.

Wu wu wu, why the gap between two people was so wide?!

"She is right. The Apostle has unlimited potential. Even though she is stronger today... it's just temporary. The Apostle will change this world!" Basing on the information she had obtained and her instinct, Mei Lan made a judgement.

"I think... doesn't she like the food named 'bread' too much?" Ling Ling looked at the Dark Shadow Spider queen and murmured, which was very close to the truth.

Maybe it was because she and the Dark Shadow Spider queen were somewhat similar.

"I... become your thing?" Yun Xi felt that his heart beat faster.

"Yes, become my unique treasure that nobody can take away. You are eligible." After transforming into its human form, the Dark Shadow Spider queen had never said so many words like this at a time.

Her hoarse sounded more seductive under this circumstances, as if she was sweeping a net that never allowed any prey to escape away from it.

"Ha ha... you're sure you don't want to reconsider?" Yun Xi's mouth parched and his tongue scorched.

Why? He looked at the black-haired beauty who was approaching him and his heart couldn't stop from pounding.

He had never had the same feeling, but he felt familiar with it.

"You have no choice," The Dark Shadow Spider queen's eyes became dangerous.

Yes. Even though she had left the cold, empty dark void, she still wanted to capture Yun Xi, who could produce high-quality foods.

This food named "bread" had changed her view to the definition of food.

She couldn't imagine how would she survive if she couldn't eat bread again.

"Revenge" and "obtaining all good things in the world" were the Dark Shadow Spider queen's two instincts, which were only slightly inferior to her instinct of producing offspring.

After losing her male part, she could never have any offspring. Therefore, they had become the two strongest desires of her.

As long as she could eat high-quality foods, she would become stronger and stronger, and would finally be able to find the girl who “killed” its male part and tear her into pieces.

"You... don't push hard on me." Although Yun Xi had had a hundred and seven fiancees, he still didn't know how to deal with this black-haired beauty.

Perhaps it was because she was too proactive and left no room for him.

Since his childhood, he had never met such a overwhelming, queen-like beauty. The small village he was born in wouldn't have such a queen-like beauty.

"Choose! Become my thing or to be eaten by me!"

The Dark Shadow Spider queen directly gave Yun Xi two choices.

In fact, he had no choice.

Chapter 189: In the Deep Dark Cave

"Eat..."

"She is bold! Where will she start? From feet?"

"No. Generally, it starts from the lips."

The married women listened the Dark Shadow Spider queen's confession with a sort of knowing smile on their faces.

The unmarried girls blushed, secretly looking at the Dark Shadow Spider queen, who was looking hard at Yun Xi and waiting for his answer.

"Whoa! I envy her. If I had her body and charm, I would do the same thing," Lu Lu murmured. She felt more self-abased as she looked at the Dark Shadow Spider queen that drove Yun Xi up the wall.

‘She is so leisured and seductive. Perhaps I can never learn these in my life’, Lu Lu thought in her heart. ‘What should I eat so that I can have the same slender legs and full breasts like her?!’

"Dragon Blood Alliance! Dragon Blood Alliance! Dragon Blood Alliance!"

Almost at the same time, these strange words suddenly appeared in these Starwing Knights girls' hearts (except the "only girl" who didn't need to worry about this).

It was a scream from their souls. It was the last hope of countless unfortunate girls in countless god's domains. It was the source of the multi-headed dragon's unhappy life. It was all because its dragon blood could be used for "breast enlargement".

"If possible, I will choose the first option," Yun Xi looked at the Dark Shadow Spider queen, not knowing whether to cry or to laugh.

He didn't know how to deal with this kind of females. She was too proactive.

But... why? He hadn't received any prompt from his system, and the number of his fiances also hadn't increased.

Is there anything wrong?

"It’s a smart choice. I will take care of you. Come with me," the Dark Shadow Spider queen said. She raised her head and threw out her chest with satisfaction, announcing her victory to everyone.

"What? Come with you?" Yun Xi looked at the Dark Shadow Spider queen in confusion.

What was she saying?

"Since you have become my thing, then of course you should leave with me. You don't have a choice."

The Dark Shadow Spider queen caught Yun Xi's hand and looked at him up and down, then frowned.

"Wait! I haven't..." Before Yun Xi finished his words, the Dark Shadow Spider queen had pulled him up and used her ability, "Mass Teleport".

Other people only saw a dark shadow appeared in the air, then the Dark Shadow Spider queen and Yun Xi disappeared.

From the beginning, "capture the Water God's Apostle" was the spider queen's goal. Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword didn't say that the Apostle must be alive, and to her character, she believed that "the only good prey is dead prey". However, she hadn't expected that this prey was a magical human who could make fantastic foods. It would be a great waste if she killed him.

Therefore, she decided to let this Apostle become her thing and let him make delicious bread for her every day.

"Ah! The Apostle and the woman just disappeared!" Lu Lu exclaimed. She worried about Yun Xi's security.

"Ha ha ha ha, of course, they will disappear."

"She had said that she would eat him. Of course she would take him to her 'sweet home' and 'eat' him bit by bit."

"Little girl, you are still too young. Don't ask about that," The married women covered their mouths as their expressions were saying "Little girl doesn't need to know what will happen".

"Really? Is that so?" After being reminded, Lu Lu finally realized it.

Whoooooooh, I'm still immature. I don't understand what happened at all. How would she "eat" him?

"Don't worry, the Apostle will return very soon. You can prepare some potions that can be used to replenish energy... although I don't think he needs them," Mei Lan said with disdain and looked at the position where Yun Xi just disappeared.

They were a man and a woman. What will happen between them? It's easy to guess.

Unfortunately, she didn't have another choice. After accepting the Apostle’s proposal, she could never regret.

Besides, she wasn't going to regret.

She was a smart girl. She wouldn't regret her choice.

However, she just couldn't stop the words "Dragon Blood Alliance" from appearing in her mind. What did it mean?

"Awwoo! It's yummy!"

Ling Ling was still intoxicated with the delicious bread, showing a silly smile on her face.

...

On the other side, Yun Xi was facing his biggest crisis after arriving at Water God's world.

He was in a cave, in complete darkness. The only dim light was from the green slime gem on his wrist.

"Hiss!" Yun Xi couldn't see what it was, but his clothes was instantly ripped off by something.

"Tell me, what's the organ you use to produce 'that food'?" The Dark Shadow Spider queen's voice sounded seductive. She was performing Dark Shadow Spider Race's special mind-affecting magic.

"Organ? No, there is no such thing..." Yun Xi felt both funny and annoyed. He thought that the mysterious black-haired woman wanted to do something "special" to him, so she brought him here.

She was really unusual.

Would any ordinary woman bring a man to a deep, dark cave and take off the man's clothes after proposing to the man?

She was too proactive!

"It's impossible!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen refused to accept it. Even in the dark void, "equivalent exchange" was a basic rule of all things. There must be an "organ"!

She couldn't understand Yun Xi's hero-ranked special ability. After all, there was no "hero-ranked baker" in the void, and she didn't think that any hero-ranked being could create object from nothing. Moreover, Yun Xi's ability was to create a hundred loaves of bread in a day! It was far beyond her imagination.

It was too illogical. It was in violation to "the law of conservation of mass"!

Chapter 190: Silence and Hotness

Void creatures had their special ecological system in the void.

Different void race had different, special body structure, which was based on the character of their race.

For example, Dark Shadow Spider had a special organ named "Dark Shadow Spinneret", which could make Dark Shadow Spider Silk and form an unexceptionable spider web, and this special organ was the core to support the Dark Shadow Spider Race to survive in the void.

Most void creatures wouldn't be killed even if their hearts had been pierced through. However, if their "special organ" was broken, it wouldn't heal itself and naturally, they would be eliminated in the void.

Therefore, the Dark Shadow Spider queen firmly believed that Yun Xi was making the bread by using his "special organ".

In her view, he made these high-quality foods at the cost of his life force. This was the only reason that could explain his ability.

A loaf of bread was just as big as a palm but could actually recover one tenth of her energy. Even if it meant ten times conversion dissipation behind it, it was still worth it.

Besides, Yun Xi could make a hundred loaves of bread in a day. His efficiency made the spider queen feel jealousy.

Therefore, she must find out what the "special organ" was that Yun Xi used to produce the fantastic golden butter loaf of bread.

What was it? After tearing off Yun Xi's clothes, the Dark Shadow Spider queen didn't immediately find the "special organ", which must contain tremendous amounts of energy.

She leaned on Yun Xi's chest, touching Yun Xi's skin with her hands.

Yun Xi panted as his heart beat faster and faster.

In the dark cave, there was only the dim light from Yun Xi's green slime gem. They were so close that Yun Xi could smell the fragrance of the Dark Shadow Spider queen's hair. He blushed.

"Where is it?" The Dark Shadow Spider queen touched Yun Xi's body with curiosity. She lowered her head and softly touched Yun Xi's body with her tongue, just like what she did every time when she was going to kill her prey.

"Oh!" Yun Xi groaned. He was at a loss what to do.

What is happening?

Just now, he was still enjoying the ceremony together with Lu Lu and Ling Ling at the square.

In the twinkling of an eye, he had come to this deep, dark cave and was being licked by this mysterious black-haired woman!

He felt that his body was confined by some unknown, special power. He could do nothing but only see the black-haired woman tearing off his clothes and licking his body.

"Hmm... en... en... uh..." The Dark Shadow Spider queen hadn't done this before. She also didn't know what she should do next.

If it was in the past, she would have eaten that prey after tasting him. But now, she just subconsciously licked his body, bit by bit.

This place? No. After kissing Yun Xi's neck, the Dark Shadow Spider queen shook her head.

She moved her head down. His heart? No. It isn’t. Further down. His belly? She could feel a wave of strange heat flux there, but the answer was still "no".

So... is it this thing? Looking at the "censored body part", the Dark Shadow Spider queen guessed. She hadn't learned human morality, naturally, she didn't know how stimulating it would be to Yun Xi.

"No! Not there!" Yun Xi panicked. His skin shivered.

Because his body was confined, his skin was more sensitive than usual. He could barely resist this wonderful feeling, although he knew it was wrong.

"Have I found it?" The Dark Shadow Spider queen resisted her urge to eat it, but softly licked it with her tongue.

The places that had been licked by her tongue diffused a strange, seductive fragrance. It was a special toxin, which the Dark Shadow Spider queen used to anesthetize her prey. When she had just arrived at the uninhabited island and caught the Starwing Knights girls, she was using it to anesthetize them.

In Yun Xi's senses, he could clearly feel the soft touch that was softly moving up and down on his "censored body part".

The stimulation was too strong. Yun Xi felt as if a ball of flame was burning in his body.

"Hum. I found it!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen thought that she had found the truth, and Yun Xi enjoyed more wonderful treatment.

The smooth, wonderful touch swept through his whole body. The Dark Shadow Spider queen put out her tongue, licking his body bit by bit, not even missing the smallest part.

"Uhh... uh..." The action continued.

Her soft tongue touched his face, shoulders, chest, belly and...

"Ooo... no..." Yun Xi couldn't bear it any longer. His body couldn't move, but his consciousness was even more sensitive. The Dark Shadow Spider queen's tongue was like the sweetest and most painful punishment to him.

The touch stimulated his brain, making him want to become a beast, but he couldn't move. He couldn't do anything. Nothing would be more frustrating and annoying than that.

Unfortunately, the Dark Shadow Spider queen didn't know the male body at all. She still licked, just like what she always did to her prey in the past.

But in Yun Xi's view, his whole body was being kissed by a black-haired beauty. Naturally, he couldn't stop his "censored body part" from erecting.

He exceeded the threshold, and the Dark Shadow Spider queen found that something was filling her mouth.

"Strange. It's not this taste. Why? Don't you use this organ to make 'that food'?" The Dark Shadow Spider queen asked. She cocked her head, gazing at Yun Xi with her innocent eyes.

At this moment, Yun Xi only felt extreme embarrassment.

Chapter 191: Save Yun Xi

"Uhh..."

Under the light of his green slime gem, Yun Xi saw a pair of pure, innocent eyes. 'She is serious', Yun Xi thought. This black-haired beauty didn't think that it was a pornographic question.

Then, how should I explain it?

There is really no connection between "it" and my bread!

A person suddenly found that he was in a dark cave and a mysterious black-haired beauty was going to do "this thing" and "that thing" to him... recently, even novels wouldn't write this, but it actually happened!

Why? Something was wrong in Water God's world!

No visible enemy and no bloody battle. People lived in this world following old rules, and everything had its special properties.

The dangerous, mysterious black-haired beauty, soft touch of her skin, tense feeling, uncontrollable desire.

If Yun Que hadn't told him the existence of Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword, he wouldn't even think that this was a dream trial.

"As expected, you are just an idiot!" Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in the dark cave. A burning arrow broke through one stalactite after another, shooting at the Dark Shadow Spider queen.

"Hiss!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen raised her hand. In the nick of time, her fingers pinched the arrow.

However, Yun Que had already prepared for it. This wasn't the only arrow.

As an assassin, she would do everything for victory. If she wasn't sure that she had 90% chance of winning, she wouldn't launch an attack.

With burning flames, her Red Lotus Arrow shot at the Dark Shadow Spider queen from the places that hadn't been monitored by her web-like senses. Her attack was so unscrupulous as if she was planning to kill Yun Xi and the spider queen together.

"If you don't want to be killed, open your Water Mist Field! I know you can't move, so just open your field! Don't hesitate, this woman is Shaya Longnis’, the Sky Sword's subordinate!" Yun Xi heard Yun Que's cold voice, not from the air but from the mental bond between their masks, and this was the reason why Yun Que knew that Yun Xi had been kidnapped.

As a top-class assassin of the Ten Leaves Alliance, she immediately realized how dangerous the Dark Shadow Spider queen's cave was after arriving there. If it wasn't because Yun Xi's ability was necessary for her to finish Water God's quest, she wouldn't challenge this powerful enemy. Observationally, she had guessed out the Dark Shadow Spider queen's true identity.

"Water Mist! Spreading!" Yun Xi strenuously repressed the hot impulse in his body and tried to dispel the queen's toxin in his blood.

In fact, even if Yun Que didn't come, Yun Xi would also get himself free after a while. Yun Que's assault just helped him increase the speed.

In addition to it, Yun Que's warning also let Yun Xi notice the anomaly in this dark cave.

Through his Water Mist Field, he saw over ten thousand green slimes and hundreds of elite slimes. He understood that Yun Que was right. Undoubtedly, this black-haired beauty was a subordinate of Shaya Longnis, belonging to the Sky Sword's camp! And she was absolutely a leader!

So that explained his strange feeling when he saw her.

She was an enemy!

Three Red Lotus Arrows crossed in the air and shot at the roof above Yun Xi's head. Countless crushed stones dropped under the impact, which forced the Dark Shadow Spider queen to leave the ground while holding Yun Xi in her arms.

A lot of mist gathered together without any sounds. Suddenly, the Dark Shadow Spider queen's hands slipped and then, Yun Xi disappeared.

In the chaos, Yun Xi got rid of the Dark Shadow Spider queen and hid in the mist, trying to run away.

"Where are you going?!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen shouted angrily. He is my treasure! He is a strategic resource that can make a hundred special foods every day! He can't escape from my hands! He is mine!

"Sorry, I think I can't become your thing," Yun Xi's body was still paralytic, but he was trying to dispel the queen's toxin.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" Five Red Lotus Arrows swept past Yun Xi and banged into the wall of the cave. The queen's route was completely blocked by the crushed stones.

Taking this chance, Yun Xi activated the energy in his Water God's mask to dispel the toxin in his blood and controlled the mist to drag his body, finally escaping from this weird cave.

"I have told you before! Your shameless, salacious character will let you suffer losses! If I hadn’t come, you would have been eaten at this moment!" Yun Que had already escaped from the cave earlier. She kicked Yun Xi and threw a cloth gown to him.

His talent was so enviable, but he never practiced his power and played with his fiance all day, and he was actually seduced by a woman so easily! He was really helpless!

"Sorry, I didn't suspect that she was an enemy," Yun Xi answered. He put on the cloth gown and took a deep breath. His eyes became serious.

"Nah. I made a mistake too. I shouldn't list such a dangerous enemy into the list of Water God's bride candidates."

Yun Que shook her head. If it wasn't because Yun Xi was captured and she saw the abnormal scene in the dark cave with her eyes, she wouldn't believe that this mature, attractive black-haired beauty was the Sky Sword's subordinate.

Even though she was a female too, she was still shocked by the Dark Shadow Spider queen's beauty when she saw the her. "Yun Hai" was a lecher, so it wasn't surprising to see that he had been seduced by the queen.

However, the Dark Shadow Spider queen was still their enemy. Yun Hai was to be sadly disillusioned.

"Prepare yourself. She is coming!" Yun Que held her bloody bow in her hand and stood beside Yun Xi, shoulder to shoulder.

"Boom!" A massive hole suddenly appeared on the ground. Countless green slimes gushed out from the hole, and the Dark Shadow Spider queen appeared in front of them again, with dangerous killing intent in her eyes.

Chapter 192: Jealousy and Impulsion

"Why? Why did you betray me?!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen stared at Yun Xi angrily.

None of her prey had ever escaped from her hands! Not once!

"Why did you leave me? You said that you would become my thing!"

"Oh, you want to become her thing? You’re not afraid to die, are you?" Yun Que squinted at Yun Xi, making sure of his degree of lechery again.

"Well, I think there’s some misunderstanding between us..." Perspiration poured down Yun Xi's face.

Now, he finally knew why his heart pounded fast when he saw her.

It wasn't "falling in love at first sight". It was his instinct that was warning him that the mysterious black-haired beauty was extremely dangerous!

If he had said "no" at that time, he might... no, he would have been killed by this mysterious, dangerous, black-haired woman!

No! I should stop thinking it.

Since she was Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's subordinate, she couldn't become his fiance. After all, he was the Water God's Apostle. They were enemies!

"Answer me, why don't you want to be my thing?!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen's temperament became more dangerous.

For the first time, the Dark Shadow Spider queen didn't understand why she was so angry.

Was it because her treasure was stolen? No, that seemed to be it, but not exactly.

However, when she saw that Yun Xi was taken away by Yun Que, she couldn't refrain her urge to kill.

"Because you are enemies. So, you and he are destined to end like this," Yun Que said. She opened her bloody long bow, locking onto the Dark Shadow Spider queen in her head with hostility.

"We are destined to end like this?" The Dark Shadow Spider queen frowned and her eyes became sharp. "Who decides that?"

It wasn't real. She could get everything she wants, because she was the queen of spiders! She was the strongest, most excellent existence. Even though she had been transformed into this female human form, that wouldn't change.

A queen deserves to have everything, and no one could steal her things!

‘Yes, this is you. This is your true posture,’ A deep voice echoed inside the Dark Shadow Spider queen's head. It was her god's voice. It was the whisper of the strongest existence.

Jealousy, jealousy. It is ugly. It is beautiful.

Tear off the surface, nothing in the world is unintelligible.

Disinteresting, unpleasant, chaotic stuffs.

Cry, tangle, confession, want to provoke my fond.

How to describe my mood? Even to this day, I can't give an answer.

I find that I'm a despicable creature.

Noise, noise. So bored, so bored, so bored. Can't help it. I'm not good at handling relationships. I'm not happy.

Too shallow. I'm bored.

However, I hate to be eliminated. If I can't become the most popular one, I will find it unbearable. After all, I hate to be defeated.

Even if I'm dirty and foul, even if I have to lie, if I can't look down on the earth, I will lose the meaning of my life.

I can't treat everyone equally and gently.

I can't pray for my lover. I want to hear her cry. I want to make her cry. It’s a good thing.

Say yes and mean no. I want to do it, but I can't. I'm helpless.

I can't live in harmony with humans. I want her. I can't obtain her.

We are people not of the same clan. We can only look down on the earth, making everyone kneel before us.

You want him? You should grab him. It isn't a wrong thing to feel jealous, because it is proof of your life.

Choose! Choose! Don't mind your has been half body! Don't mind your dim future! As long as you’re still looking for beauty in this ugly world, your life will be significant!

So that you can live in this world!

"Who decided that? Nobody has decided it, but you’re not the same kinds! You’re not human!" Yun Que said. She had already discovered that this black-haired beauty was a dangerous evil creature.

Compared to her, a male fiery dragon was nothing. She was ten times more dangerous than any male fiery dragon.

"Well, in fact, I don't mind if my lover is not a human..." Yun Xi said, lacking of confidence.

"Shut up! She is our enemy!" Yun Que burst with anger. She did her best to dampen their enemy's spirits, but... he was really a pig-like mate! He just wasted all her efforts.

Yes, I know you don't mind having a love affair with females of other races, but you shouldn't say it now! This black-haired woman is absolutely not a humanoid creature. Her beautiful appearance is just a guise. She is undoubtedly a dangerous monster!

You’re even interested in such a monster? I really can't understand your shamelessness and lechery!

You’re insulting the name, "Yun Hai"!

"Yes, it has nothing to do with my race," The Dark Shadow Spider queen licked her lips. She could feel some part in her body, something she had lost from a long time ago was reviving.

It was strange. She was the queen of Dark Shadow Spider Race. She shouldn't have this desire.

Why? Why did she have this impulse in her heart?

Just like what the female human said, their races are different. But her instinct was continuously urging her to have some special relationships with this human.

At that time, she had felt an electric-current-like feeling when they were skin to skin. Wasn't it just her illusion?

"I want him to be my thing. I want him to be my own treasure. I won't let anyone take him away! He’s mine!"

Strong possessiveness arose inside her heart. The Dark Shadow Spider queen had never wanted to obtain a thing so eagerly.

At this moment, she even forgot her identity and forgot that she was Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword’s executor. She just fixed her eyes on Yun Xi.

‘Yes, yes, this is it! Show your most ugly and most beautiful appearance!’ The voice echoed inside her heart again.

Chapter 193: Mist Souls

Only in this way, can you inspire your potential. Only in this way, can you become Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's executor, guiding her will to descend to this world!

So, it's time for outrage! It's time for seizure! Catch the thing you want! Catch the man who had committed a crime against Shaya Longnis, the great Sky Sword!

"Hiss!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen stretched one black red spider leg after another on her back, which gave Yun Xi a familiar feeling. Every leg was engraved with black, ancient rune words.

She was evolving! With the help of Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's power, the Dark Shadow Spider queen had broken through her limit and healed all the wounds on her body. She had reached her optimum state, and now, she was even stronger than the old her when she had just swallowed all her race members in the dark void.

At this moment, the Dark Shadow Spider queen's will and spirit completely overwhelmed Yun Xi’s and Yun Que’s!

"I should have known, it's not good to be with a shameless, salacious guy like you!" Yun Que's face looked terrible.

Why did you say, "I don't mind my lover's race"? You just directly aroused her abnormal desire!

If it wasn't because Yun Que really needed Yun Xi's ability, she would have thrown Yun Xi to the monster and ran away.

Judging from the black red legs on the spider queen’s back, she had the worst expectation. The woman was an insect-type monster! Once she finished her evolution, she would be far stronger than other monsters at the same rank!

"Sorry, Yun Que," Yun Xi sighed. He didn't want to see this happen, but he didn't want to be eaten by the dangerous black-haired beauty too, so he had to fight.

Large amounts of water vapor gathered towards Yun Xi from all directions, forming a wave of mist tide. For the first time, Yun Xi exposed all his power.

"What... you... impossible!" Feeling the energy contained in the mist, Yun Que couldn't believe her eyes.

She had observed and recorded the range, size, and energy of Yun Xi's Water Mist Field. She also had a Water God's Mask, so she didn't think that she would misjudge it. But now, Yun Xi's power was three times stronger than what she had recorded.

According to what Yun Que knew, even it was a famous genius who could reach the hero rank as easily as blowing off dust, the time the genius required to become three times stronger would be measured in years. And how long had Yun Xi used? Seven days!

Yun Que was sure that Yun Xi played with his fiancee all day during the seven days. How could he increase his power if he hadn't practiced at all? Was it because of his talent?

He was a rare hero-ranked baker, but also had great talent in controlling his Water God's Mask? The world was too unfair!

"If so... there is still hope," Yun Que murmured. She felt jealous about Yun Xi's talent, but she was also satisfied with the increase in Yun Xi's power, because it was really helpful now.

Means weren't important, because the truth was written by the victor. Only the victor could survive and own the future; the loser would lose in the past and lose all possibilities. Victory was the greatest justice, because only the victor could declare himself to be justified. The dead couldn't speak.

This was Yun Que's life criteria. For justice, which also meant victory, she would do anything. If she had to kill one thousand people to save one billion more, she wouldn't be hesitant to do it.

"Hesitation" and "indecision" wouldn't help her become the final winner. If she lost, it would also mean that justice had died. For the belief she wanted to protect, she had joined the Ten Leaves Alliance. She had killed a lot of people, and also obtained a great amount of rewards at the same time. She didn't mind other people's opinions, because it was all she could do.

Yun Xi's talent and potential shocked her. She understood the reason why Water God had chosen him. Unlike her, this man who called himself "Yun Hai" was really as talented as the true Yun Hai, the legendary Sword Master. She thought that he was probably one of Yun Hai's descendants.

Even though he was shameless and salacious, his talent was far greater than hers. He was the key to accomplish Water God's quest instead of her. He couldn't die here! She would protect him. For her mission, and for her belief.

If this bastard was the key to change the fate of this world, then for the sake of this world, she would protect him. It had nothing to do with "moral principles". It had nothing to do with his personality. It was simply because he was the key.

"Three Times Water Mist Field!"

After obtaining powers from his one hundred and seven fiancees, Yun Xi’s power had reached a new realm. He could control the mist around him like he could control his body. The mist within a range of ten kilometres was his eyes and ears.

The rules of Water God's world naturally integrated into his body, letting him understand what he could do now.

"In the name of Yun Hai, respond to my call. Come out, Mist Souls!"

Along with Yun Xi's voice, one girl after another whose bodies were formed by mist, came out from the mist tide behind Yun Xi. The total number of girls was one hundred and seven, corresponding to the sum of the Starwing Knights girls and the native girls who had signed the marriage contract with him.

Yun Xi’s Water Mist Field had just responded to his will, forming these girls from his imagined world. They would be his swords. They would be his army!

"He himself is an army... and they are..." Yun Que seriously recorded Yun Xi's performance, because his power would become the key to the battle between Water God's camp and the Sky Sword's camp.

If she was an assassin who would accomplish the whole task with a one hit kill, then Yun Xi was the "emperor" who would sit still and call the shots. His white Water God's Mask symbolized his pure white will. He could be called "White Emperor"!

Chapter 194: White Emperor

So, I can actually do this?

From the silver mask on Yun Xi's face, a cold feeling spread to Yun Xi's whole body. Controlling and dominating the mist in Water God's world, these were the silver mask's original properties.

When Yun Xi had just obtained the mask, he had thought that it was an assistant-type equipment.

Mount the clouds and ride the mist, control all information in his Water Mist Field, condense mist into ice blades, control and divide the battlefield - these were the mask's properties Yun Xi had discovered by himself.

However, he had forgotten Water God's meaningful words and his Star System's prompt when he had just obtained the silver mask.

"As a god, I'm looking for a person, a person who can span time and space, becoming my lover! Hence, I give you my mask. You will become my eyes, my ears, my sword, to look for my bride! Remember, you have my mask, so you can use my power. You will become the legend! You will obtain the fake 'power of the emperor'!"

What was the "power of emperor"?

Yun Xi hadn’t understood it at that time. But now, after receiving power from his hundred and seven fiances and releasing all his power, he suddenly understood.

Emperor dominates everything.

Emperor has everything.

After wearing his Water God's Mask, he had been recognized by Water God's world as an "emperor", the emperor of Water Mist! His Water God's Mask was totally different to Yun Que's. His mask was unique because only he could control it.

The white mist in Water God's world, his silver mask, and Side Quest Three! In the blink of an eye, Yun Xi understood a lot of things.

"You have accomplished the first phase of Optional Side Quest Three: the Truth of the Mist! You have discovered your mask's real name: White Emperor. Now you are the emperor of mist, and you can control the endless mist in this world! Walking into the mist, you will meet the strongest and the most dangerous creature in the mist: Mist Demon!"

So, this mask's name was "White Emperor".

Yun Xi stroked the silver mask on his face. The four horns on the mask just became more crystal with endless mist inside them.

"It's an artifact..." Yun Que couldn't help but stroke her mask too. Since Yun Xi's mask was special and contained Water God's god power... did it mean that her mask too contained the same power?

Unfortunately, she wasn't as talented as Yun Xi. She couldn't activate her mask's true power easily.

Is it due to the gap between our talents? Water God is not supposed to play favorites. It's unfair!

"Creak!" The black red legs shivered on the queen's back, emitting a joyful sound.

She had just finished evolving!

With the help of Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's great will, she had surpassed her past self and covered all her shortages. She had recovered to... no, she had exceeded her strongest past state.

Her senses had just weaved a web covering the whole area in the range of ten kilometres. If she had had such a wide web-like sense field in the past, the whole Dark Shadow Spider Race wouldn't have faced the hopeless food shortage situation.

One green slime after another came out from the dark cave, integrating into the queen's body in order to offer her continuous life force. Although they weren't as effective as Yun Xi's fourth-ranked bread, but their numbers were greater, which had greatly increased the Dark Shadow Spider queen's combat power.

Because Yun Xi had noticed the queen's terrible power, he had broken through his limits during this dangerous period and learned his mask's real name.

Even though the power of the mask was fake, however, the mask itself was still a real artifact.

"Starwings! Attacking!" Habitually, Yun Xi commanded the Mist Soul girls.

Immediately, these Mist Soul girls formed an army unit and started to launch attacks at the Dark Shadow Spider queen. They didn't have physical bodies. However, in Yun Xi's Water Mist Field, they were faster and nimbler than real humans.

Their weapons were ice swords, which were naturally condensed and formed inside the Water Mist Field. All the swords were top class. They were these Mist Souls' exclusive weapons.

Their sword blades were seemingly crystal and fragile but contained a bit of god power inside them. In Water God's world, these ice blades could even hurt hero-ranked creature's body.

They were Yun Xi's army, the White Emperor's army: Mist Soul Army!

Inside Yun Xi's Water Mist Field, the one hundred and seven Mist Soul girls were even stronger than 10,000 real people.

"Flying Swallow Sword!"

"Flying Swallow Sword!"

"Flying Swallow Sword!"

The Mist Soul girls on the first row were taking the Starwing Knights girls as models. They brandished their swords, performing "Flying Swallow Sword" perfectly in the air.

Because their body mass was nearly zero, they could ignore the law of gravity like real flying swallows and perform Flying Swallow Sword to an extent that even made Yun Xi feel surprised.

Other Mist Souls were taking the native girls as models. They threw the ice swords in their hands at the Dark Shadow Spider queen, attacking her in the simplest method.

"Opening! My Sense Field!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen just smiled. Through her deep, black eyes, an invisible web appeared.

No, there wasn't anything like spider thread emitting out from her eyes. It was just a web of her sense, chaining the Starwing Knights girls in the air. The Dark Shadow Spider queen's web-like sense just restricted their mist bodies.

"Boom!" Three Red Lotus Arrows broke through the mist and crashed into the Dark Shadow Spider queen's body. She blocked them with her black red spider legs, sputtering sparks in the air.

Just like the Dark Shadow Spider queen's web-like sense restricted Flying Swallow Sword, Yun Que's Red Lotus Arrow also restricted the Dark Shadow Spider queen's web-like sense.

Chapter 195: Phase Spider

"Hiss!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen got hit by Yun Que's Red Lotus Arrows again.

The black-red legs on her back were in a very bad condition. Even though she had blocked all the attacks with her legs, the burning arrows still left scorch marks on her legs. Apparently, Yun Que's attack did cause damage to her.

The Dark Shadow Spider queen was stronger than Yun Que and Yun Xi, however, when they had coordinated their attacks, they could fight against the spider queen.

"My subordinates, come out!" After finishing her evolution, the Dark Shadow Spider queen had mastered a new ability.

One green slime after another changed their shapes, transforming from round, cute slimes into terrible green spiders with green long legs.

"Weaving!" This time, the Dark Shadow Spider queen didn't just attack them with her web-like sense, but launched an attack with a real, sharp, transparent spider web, which could even cut through iron easily.

With her body as the core, the area in the range of a hundred metres had all been covered by her web. The green spiders immediately connected with the Dark Shadow Spider queen's real body.

"I'm the queen who will grant you the power of ferocity! Obey my orders, my children!"

One green spider after another chirped as if they had been injected with chicken blood, quickly crawling into the Dark Shadow Spider queen's web in an orderly way.

Just like all creatures in the void, the Dark Shadow Spider queen's Spider Army was absolutely ordered and calm, totally different from Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army. However, these spiders weren't Dark Shadow spiders. On the contrary, they were Dark Shadow spiders' natural enemies: Phase Spiders.

The Phase Spider Race was one of the most terrible races amongst all lower-ranked void races. Their individual strength was far inferior to Dark Shadow Spiders, however, they were still the whole Dark Shadow Spider Race's enemies because they had a special natural ability that was rare amongst all void races: Short-range Space Jump.

They didn't jump with their legs but jumped through the space. They could instinctively enter a special space and cross it, suddenly appearing in front of their enemies and piercing through their enemies' bodies with their sharp, poisonous fangs.

No one knew how these spiders were born and why they had such an incredible space-jumping ability. If their individual strength and defensive ability were higher, they probably would have become one of the overlord races in the void.

The Dark Shadow Spider Race was good at weaving webs to trap their prey, but it meant nothing to the Phase Spider race because they could jump through space within a short-range.

Fortunately, the Phase Spider Race only inhabited parts of the unstable areas in the void, otherwise, they would have swept through 1/3 of the whole void. At the least, ordinary void races were no match for them.

After becoming the "queen", the Dark Shadow Spider queen wasn't just the queen of Dark Shadow Spider Race, but the queen of all kinds of spiders. After being blessed by Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword, she had obtained a new ability to transform green slimes into Phase Spiders.

If she could undergo another evolution, she would be able to create more spider races. Unfortunately, these spiders would be just some one-time biological weapons, but not her real offspring.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

The Phase Spiders launched a ferocious offensive at Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army.

"Space jumping?!" Seeing these spiders suddenly disappear and appear in the air, Yun Xi's outlook was subverted.

He could barely imagine that such a void creature really existed in the universe. If their space-jumping distance was longer, they could even instantly kill all mortal-ranked beings.

Fortunately, Mist Souls were nearly immune to physical attack. Although a few Mist Soul girls had been torn into pieces under Phase Spiders' attacks, but they could replenish themselves from the mist around them and quickly return to the battlefield, so it wasn't a big problem.

Phase Spiders could jump through space, but Mist Souls could replenish themselves from mist. As long as Yun Xi was still maintaining his Water Mist Field, they could revive countless times.

This was the meaning of "White Emperor". As long as Yun Xi their "emperor" was still alive, the Mist Soul Army would be indestructible.

"Catch him!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen immediately realized that. She ordered her spider army to attack Yun Xi.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Another round of Red Lotus Arrows dropped from the sky, but this time, the spider queen's web precisely caught their tracks and intercepted them in the air. At the same time, all the Phase Spiders jumped into the special space, rushing towards Yun Xi.

"One, two, three..." Yun Xi took a deep breath, observing the spiders' traces.

After arriving at Water God's world, this was the first time that he was so close to death. These Phase Spiders were far more ferocious than the green hippos. Plus, because they could jump through space, his Mist Soul Army couldn't stop them.

"Four!" A crowd of Phase Spiders appeared in front of Yun Xi about ten metres away. Yun Xi could even see their green legs clearly.

A ring of silver light spread from his Water God's Mask. Instantly, the air temperature around Yun Xi had fallen to an incredible degree. All things had lapsed into silence. A ring of crystal ice appeared and surrounded Yun Xi, rotating slowly with cold air.

Chapter 196: Retreat

Dozens of Phase Spiders had approached Yun Xi, only a step away from him. Instantly, they had been sealed within the slowly rotating ice ring. Yun Xi could clearly see the white hairs on their legs.

"Break!" Yun Xi looked at them coldly.

The ice ring exploded, transforming into thousands of cracked ice fragments. Naturally, the Phase Spiders that had been sealed in the ice had also been turned into pieces. Their defence was too weak. This was their greatest weakness. If it had been Yun Que and not Yun Xi who was surrounded by them, she probably wouldn't have killed them so easily because she wasn't good at Area of Effect attacks.

However, Yun Xi was different because his mask, "White Emperor", was his trump card. Surrounded by the endless mist, Yun Xi could fight as long as he wanted. Amongst all Water God's masks, only "White Emperor" was named "emperor". It was unique. Maybe Yun Xi couldn't fight against the Dark Shadow Spider queen in close combat, but on the battlefield, he was invincible!

"Arranging attack formation!" Gradually, Yun Xi had become more and more familiar with the "White Emperor" mask. He could use more combat methods now.

The Mist Soul Army immediately divided into two camps. The first was the Assasulting Camp that mimicked Ling Ling's Mist Soul as their leader, and the second was the Shooting Camp, taking that mimicked Mei Lan's Mist Soul as their leader.

The Mist Soul girls in the Assasulting Camp were all female swordsmen. Their melee combat was as fast as the wind and as strong as iron. The Mist Soul girls in Shooting Camp had all transformed their ice swords into ice lances. Eighty eight ice lances were suspended above their heads.

They coordinated with each other and compensated for each other. This was an army that was continuously improving and enhancing themselves. The most important point was that they wouldn't die, had no fear or confusion. They were Yun Xi's swords, lances, and shields, eliminating all enemies for Yun Xi.

"Shwaaa! Shwaaa! Shwaaa!" One ice lance after another broke through the air with whistles, locking on all the possible routes that the Dark Shadow Spider queen could move to.

"Come out, my little spiders! Fight for me!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen shouted.

One green slime after another transformed into new Phase Spiders.

"So that's how it is!" Seeing this, Yun Xi finally understood where these Phase Spiders were from.

The methods used may vary, but the principle was the same. As Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's subordinate, the Dark Shadow Spider queen couldn't really change these slimes' forms. She just ordered them to transform into Phase Spiders. Therefore, the only way to defeat the Dark Shadow Spider queen was to eliminate all the green slimes!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" At the same time, Yun Que had made the same judgement. She stopped attacking the Dark Shadow Spider queen but instead shot her Red Lotus Arrows at the ground. Each of her arrow could eliminate hundreds of green slimes, burning them into ashes.

However, compared to Yun Que, Yun Xi was more effective! He ordered his Mist Soul Army to attack the Dark Shadow Spider queen. Using this opportunity, he started to control the mist in the range of ten kilometres. He caught the green slimes that were gushing out from the cave, expertly compressed them and overlapped them together. In the blink of an eye, the green gem in Yun Xi's hand had become much larger than before. This was his method!

Yun Xi could easily see that the speed of the new spiders' births was quickly decreasing. Without the green slimes, the Dark Shadow Spider queen couldn't create Phase Spiders from nothing.

During this period of time, Yun Xi had frozen three waves of Phase Spiders that were trying to attack him. The balance of the battle had gradually started to favour Yun Xi and Yun Que.

If one observed them from the sky, one would see the white Mist Soul Army was gradually approaching the Dark Shadow Spider queen. From time to time, there would be scorching Red Lotus Arrows shooting at the queen, leaving fiery clouds on the ground.

"Humph!" The Dark Shadow Spider queen licked her lips. She had to admit that she underestimated her enemies.

Neither Yun Xi nor Yun Que was match for her. However, when they cooperated with each other, their combination completely restricted her abilities. The Phase Spiders and her true body had all been suppressed.

It wasn't just as simple as "one plus one". They must have cooperated with each other many times before to develop the tacit understanding they had.

Every time she would try to involve herself in the battle using her true body, there would always be one terrible Red Lotus Arrow after another that blocked her way, and when she tried to command the spiders to approach the Mist Soul girls' Shooting Camp, there would always be a team of Mist Soul girls blocking their way.

The mist in the air was interfering with her web-like sense. She could barely see anything outside the range of her web-like sense. If it wasn't because her true body was very powerful, she would have been driven to the wall.

Finally, when only one tenth of the green slimes were left on the ground, the Dark Shadow Spider queen had to make a painful decision.

"You won't have another opportunity..." She stared at Yun Xi's silver mask, firmly remembering his appearance in her heart.

The Dark Shadow Spider queen moved. Around her body, a large spider web spread into the air and firmly fixed into the ground. Eight, thick spider threads were wrapped on the spider queen's body. With a cacophony, the spider queen stepped back, tensioning the spider threads like springs. The next second, with a "shuffle" sound, the Dark Shadow Spider queen's body had been launched into the sky, instantly leaving the battlefield.

"Ah!" Yun Xi could only see the Dark Shadow Spider queen's body flying to the boreal forest, then lost her trail.

However, Yun Xi and Yun Que knew that the battle had just begun.

Chapter 197: Jealousy

"Well... I think we have a troublesome enemy." Holding the bloody long bow in her hands, Yun Que looked at the forest with a serious expression.

The strong enemies from Shaya Longnis' camp had arrived much earlier than she had expected! Although she hadn't figured out the Dark Shadow Spider queen's exact details, but in theory, a powerful elite enemy like her should have arrived at the third phase of the Sky Sword's coming.

The Dark Shadow Spider queen's existence itself had indicated that Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's invasion of this world had entered a substantive stage. Water God's camp had little time left.

"She’s very troublesome... in every sense..." Yun Xi couldn't forget the Dark Shadow Spider queen's eyes when she left.

It was a kind of scorching desire, it was an undisguised possessiveness. She was a queen-like beauty, but to Yun Xi, she was just completely misfortunate.

Sigh, it would be like heaven if everyone was as kind as Lu Lu. Yun Xi had vaguely figured out why he was killed in his last life.

"Oh right, I want to ask you something." Yun Que turned around and gazed at the Mist Soul girls with a cold look.

"Her, her, and her! What are they? Aren't they the bride candidates on the scrolls I had given you?!"

Perspiration poured down Yun Xi's face.

No! Yun Que had found out!

Other than the mysterious black-haired beauty, the dangerous Dark Shadow Spider queen, he had caught almost all the girls on Yun Que's scrolls in his dragnet.

But... it wasn't my fault! Only the twelve Starwing Knights girls were my targets. I had never planned to propose to any other girls!

He had presented them his handmade butter bread. He was simply expressing his happiness after having successfully proposed to the Starwing Knights girls, because good things should be celebrated. If he shared his joy with others, then there would be more people feeling the same happiness, wasn't that right?

He just hadn't expected that the tradition in this Water God's world would be so special. Accepting his bread was equal to accepting his proposal? It was too strange!

"I should have known... you're just a notorious bastard, you never understand to learn from mistakes!" Yun Que stared at Yun Xi in anger.

From all angles, this guy was every female's enemy! Unfortunately, most females couldn't realize this and were willing to have a relationship with this shameless, salacious bastard. Were they blind?

Indeed, he had high talent, was favored by Water God, looked mature and handsome, could expertly control his Water Mist Field...

Well, Yun Que had to admit that at least, this bastard who called himself "Yun Hai" really had a huge advantage in Water God's world. He was like the chosen one of this world!

Although both of them were Water God's Apostles, but he was far better at controlling Water God's Mask than her. She was an archer who only knew "assassinate" and "reconnoitre", and he was the "White Emperor" who could dominate the whole battlefield. He only needed to stand still and the endless mist would offer him unlimited power and a whole Mist Soul Army would fight for him.

In order to finish Water God's quest and fight against the Sky Sword's camp, his power was indispensable. It had nothing to do with his personality. It was just an undeniable fact.

"At least, you should learn to restrain yourself. You have had over one hundred brides. Can you stand them all?" Yun Que said, trying to persuade Yun Xi, although she had turned around and avoided looking at Yun Xi's face whilst she was talking.

"No... not enough..." Yun Xi smiled bitterly. After seeing the Dark Shadow Spider queen, he had realized that the power from his one hundred and seven brides was insufficient for him to fight against Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's camp.

To complete Water God's quest, he needed more brides!

"What?! They’re not enough?!" Yun Que was extremely furious.

She didn't understand how a man could have so many brides and still not be satisfied with them! Someone needed to teach him a lesson!

"It's... my ability..." Yun Xi hesitated, but finally decided to tell Yun Que a part of the truth. After all, it was very important.

"I need more and more brides, because I can become strong in this way."

"What?" Yun Que finally realized... no, in fact, she had noticed it before. She just hadn't put the two pieces together.

The number of the Mist Soul girls was the same as the number of Yun Xi's fiancees. Even their appearances corresponded to Yun Xi's fiance’s one to one.

"You... have such an ability..." Yun Que's body shivered. It was out of her imagination.

She had never heard of such a thing even within the Ten Leaves Alliance. It was a miracle!

"You can obtain your bride's power? So, a hundred and seven brides are equal to a Mist Soul Army of a hundred and seven people? I see. I understand. So that explains your shameless behavior. Therefore, you proposing to them was for expanding your Mist Soul Army?" Yun Que finally figured out the source of Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army. Her pupils dilated.

How could that be possible?! How could such a strong power be existing in this world?!

"Yes, the Mist Soul Army is my mask's, White Emperor's power," Yun Xi said.

He hadn’t lied, but he also hadn’t told her the whole truth. He only explained why he had proposed to so many girls in this way.

"Mist Soul Army? White Emperor Mask?" Yun Que solved the mystery. She finally understood why Yun Hai had these weird abilities.

The truth was hard to accept, but she had to recognize it.

Could he be Water God's illegitimate child? Otherwise, how could his mask being stronger than hers be explained?!

Chapter 198: Yun Que's Decision

Yun Que felt as if her outlook had collapsed at this moment. She was born a part of the Dark Elf Race, a race that wasn't accepted by other elves and even the whole world. In order to obtain a powerful force, she had paid a lot.

Her talent wasn't great. In order to obtain the things geniuses could obtain easily, she had to practice much harder, exceed her limits, and challenge her limits between life and death.

For the justice she wanted to defend, her hands had been stained with blood. She had lost her innocence and kindness since a long time ago. The facts had proved that innocence and kindness couldn't save anything. In order to save more people, she had to fall into the darkness first, then eliminate her enemies with her bloodstained hands.

Only the victor could seize the future. With this belief, she had crossed endless bloody battlefields as her longbow became stained with blood. Only survival was her prime essence. Only the one living would be entitled to obtain victory.

If one wanted to become strong, one must pay for it. "Equivalent exchange" had always been her principle, until she met "that man". This man was loved by the whole world, was blessed by the god. His talent was far beyond her imagination, as bright as the sun. His existence had overturned all her common senses.

For the first time in her life, she started to wonder whether her principle was absolutely right. How could anybody in the world outdo others so easily? Undoubtedly, this man was shameless, salacious, and absurd, however, he actually had such great talent.

He could become stronger and stronger as long as he could marry as many girls as he wanted? It was so absurd that she couldn't even feel jealous.

"May I re-confirm it? You’re not kidding me?" Yun Que's eagle-like sharp eyes looked around, observing all the Mist Soul girls around Yun Xi.

Their appearances were consistent with the data.

Their body shapes were consistent with the data.

Their numbers were consistent with the data.

Undoubtedly, they were consistent with the hundred and seven brides in the village. Her observation was absolutely right, which made her grind her teeth.

His ability is too powerful! What kind of blessing has the mask, "White Emperor" cast onto you? Are you the god's son?

"Sigh... in fact, I don't want it, but... that’s what happened..." Yun Xi sighed.

Yes, this ability wasn't his choice, but the only method the great stars had arranged for him. The Water God's Mask, "White Emperor", and his "Mist Soul Army", were all from the special Side Quest Four, "To love, Starchild!". It seemed that it was the key to accomplishing Water God's quest. It seemed that the great stars were using this method to teach him how to love.

However, from the sleeping beauty in the Dark Forest to the princess in the tall tower, then to the three-figure fiances... Yun Xi had been completely taken by surprise.

By the way, what "love" was in the great stars' minds? Yun Xi felt that it was totally different from the common sense in the human world.

"Humph, you've had no cure!" Yun Que ground her teeth, staring at Yun Xi as if she was an abandoned dog in the wild and Yun Xi was a pampered dog in a warm house.

We’re not similar! Yun Que confirmed this point in her heart again.

Perhaps he was the so-called "chosen one", so that he could live such an easy life and obtain girls' hearts so easily. He had accomplished 107 proposals and hadn't even failed once? It was ironic!

Yun Que felt that her heart ached sharply when she just stood beside Yun Xi.

We are class enemies! How can a man in the sun, a man like you, understand the people in the darkness? To survive, we have to be ignoble and wary, and don't even dare to waste a trace of a resource. Do you know how much a loaf of 4th-ranked bread could sell for? And you just presented them to unknown girls disdainfully! It was too wasteful!

Should I catch him and lock him up? If I let him make 4th-ranked bread every day, he would be more useful to society... Unconsciously, Yun Que had the same common thoughts as the Dark Shadow Spider queen.

"However, your ability is indeed useful." Even though she felt resentment and aversion, Yun Que had to admit Yun Xi's unique talent. "You increase the number of your Mist Soul Army by having more and more brides, it's a strategically advantageous ability."

Putting aside her prejudice and dissatisfaction, Yun Que slightly deduced Yun Xi's potential and had an adrenaline-pumping conclusion.

It was a god-like ability!

From what she had seen, the Mist Soul girls had the same abilities as their prototypes. Moreover, Mist Souls wouldn't die. Even though the army had only a hundred and seven people, it was still a powerful force.

Now, she knew that the army could be expanded as long as this bastard married more and more girls. In this case, she had to make a tough decision. No matter how shameless, salacious, and unruly this man was, since he had such a god-like ability, she had to change her origin plan.

"Yun Hai, I will help you. Go and marry as many girls as you can!"

Chapter 199: Expansion Plan - A Million Brides!

"What?!" Yun Xi looked at Yun Que in surprise.

Is she really the Yun Que I know? Shouldn't she be the one who always looks down on me and opposes me proposing to any girl?

"Don't look shocked. I still don't like what you’ve done," Yun Que said and looked at Yun Xi coldly. She took a deep breath to adjust her mood, "However, your ability is indispensable."

Yes, this was the truth, which couldn't be changed by her will. No matter what Yun Xi's character was like, as long as he had this ability, he would always be the Water God's camp strongest trump card.

Even if Yun Que's power had been ten times stronger than it currently was, she wouldn't be able to compare to Yun Xi whose mask was "White Emperor". An assassin could never change the course of history, but an emperor could. The "Emperor" was the one who could change everything and lead the world.

No matter how kind a man was, if he couldn't help Yun Que accomplish her goal, that man would be meaningless to her. Similarly, even if a man was shameless and salacious, as long as his ability was indispensable, he would be important.

Yun Que didn't like Yun Xi, but she had to admit that he was special. His Water God's Mask was the key to changing the tide of battle between the two camps. Yun Que calculated the mask's, White Emperor's power, and her heart beat faster and faster. To her who was always calm, this was a rare gaffe.

"Does your Mist Soul Army have a limit?" Yun Que tried asking in a friendly tone, but her voice was weird.

"No. Anyone who has accepted my proposal will become part of my Mist Soul Army." Yun Xi shook his head.

"Hiss..." Yun Que felt a chill.

This special ability itself was already frightening enough, and now, it didn't even have an upper limit? Which was ever more surprising.

"Then, does it have any requirement for your bride's strength?"

"No... maybe, the requirement is that they can't be stronger than Water God?" Yun Xi answered in an uncertain tone.

Anyhow, there shouldn't be any being that was stronger than Water God in this world.

"How..." Yun Que was speechless.

Compared to her mask, Yun Xi's mask, White Emperor, was too strong! He must be Water God's illegitimate child! Otherwise, nothing could explain it!

No, I shouldn't judge based on my personal feelings! Since we are partners, then the stronger this bastard is, the more advantageous it will be to my plan.

"Ok, I see. I have a plan. It's time to use our identities: Water God's Apostles!" Yun Que gazed at Yun Xi with a serious, dangerous look, which made Yun Xi feel creeped out.

...

Several days later, there was a similar post in front of all Water God's temples in every city and village in this world. People crowded around the posts, looking at the silver-masked man that was painted on the posts.

To most people, Water God temples had never allowed any person to post all over the world. This post was about a proposal which had been written by Yun Que personally and would make history in Water God’s world.

"Water God's Apostle's Proposal Notice:

A hero-ranked Water God's Apostle who is from a distant area and is recognized by the great White Emperor's power, has tired of wandering around the world. He wants to settle down somewhere, and the great Water God has accepted his request granting him the god's blessing.

If any girl wants to marry him, she can go to King City and take part in his bride's selection ceremony. In the name of the great Water God, the most excellent girl will win the Apostle's love.

To the beautiful girls all around the world! Wear your most gorgeous clothes and put on your corollas! Let the ceremony become marvelous due to your coming!

The Water God's Apostle will follow the great Water God's will and choose the most excellent bride and accomplish the greatest cause in history.

No matter where you are from, no matter what your identity and race are, all girls have the right to take part in the selection ceremony.

The world is shining due to you. Beautiful girls, for becoming the most excellent bride, show your gorgeous appearance to everyone! This marvelous era is yours!"

The words were flourishing and agitative. Additionally, with the Water God's mark and Yun Xi's handsome painting, the posts caused a great disturbance across the whole world.

In Yun Que's view, since Yun Xi's mask could be enhanced without an upper limit, then she would help Yun Xi expand his Mist Soul Army.

A hundred and seven brides? Those weren't enough! Far from enough! And, to use 4th-ranked bread to tempt innocent girls was too wasteful and inefficient. Yun Xi shouldn't use his bread for this.

His identity, Water God's Apostle, could help him use this world’s general trends to accomplish a miracle that no one had achieved. It was a convenience from the Water God, and it was the right time to use it.

Yes, Yun Que was planning to let the whole world help Yun Xi's mask become stronger. For victory, she would be unscrupulous!

This was Yun Que's method. Even though she didn't like Yun Xi, but for victory, she used their identities as Water God's Apostles without hesitation to carry out the grandest plan that had ever appeared in Water God’s world's history.

If what Yun Xi had done was just one small step for man, then her plan would become a giant leap for mankind which would undoubtedly change the whole world. This was Yun Que's Expansion Plan: A Million Brides!

Chapter 200: The King City

In Water God's world, the King City.

The city's name was "Caelian". It was on the largest island in Water God's world, and was the center of the world's culture, economy, and faith.

There was no "country" in Water God's world. The whole world was dominated by an alliance that was formed by the islands all over the world.

Caelian was the largest island in Water God's world. The whole island was the King City in the center of the whole Water God’s World!

The city’s population was about a million. Most residents were humans, with some aquatic races also living in the city.

Of course, they all believed in the greatest god, Water God.

The reason why Caelian was the King City wasn't because of its great population and booming economy. It was because the largest Water God's temple was located here.

In legends, when Water God first came to this world, it appeared in the sacred lands of Caelian, where the largest Water God's temple was.

As the King City, the greatest feature of Caelian were the countless fountains all over the city.

Colorful fountains, musical fountains, underground fountains, sea fountains... the whole city could be called "City of Water".

One stream after another, connected one fountain after another. There were over a hundred temples in Caelian.

Everyday in the temples, there would be pure girls holding old water bottles and pouring water to believers, which represented the beginning of a new day.

Caelian, and all living beings in Water God World, used this method to present their beliefs to the supreme Water God.

One mermaid after another, who were a pretty rare sight in other places, swam at ease in the streams. Occasionally, they would rest at various fountains and sing praises for Water God.

Occasionally, some naughty jellyfishes would come from the sea and harass the girls that were basking in the sun on the beach, teasing these girls.

Peaceful, beautiful, and sacred. These were the main themes in Caelian, the Water God's world's King City. However, this peace had been disrupted by a post today. Water God's priests posted one post after another all over the temples in Caelian.

The ordinary residents and the aquatic races had all known that a Water God's Apostle was looking for brides.

"It's strange... why would the Apostle want to get married?" A young mermaid looked at the mature man in the post and asked her sister.

"Well... I don't know. But, don't you think that it's a good opportunity?!" Her sister's eyes were shining like bright lights.

It was an Apostle! The most special being in this world and the person who was closest to the supreme god!

Apostles didn't often appear in the mortal world. They were legendary big shots. Now, an Apostle was looking for brides? How could she miss this opportunity!

"Sister? Why are you blushing?" This mermaid was too young to understand her sister's nervous mood.

"No! I can't wait! Sister, let's go!" The elder mermaid held her young sister's hand, left the fountain, and walked to the nearest temple.

"Ayaya, these mermaids are about to go crazy."

"I'm not surprised. After all, it's a Water God's Apostle. However, why would he want to get himself a wife?"

"Hey hey hey, he looks handsome."

In a nest at the bottom of the sea, non-human girls who that had snake-like bodies were gathering around the notice board in front of their nest. They belonged to one of the strongest races in Water God's world: Sea Demons. They inhabited the deep sea and most of the time, their bodies were in a half human half snake state.

The people in Water God's world called them "Lamia" in reverence, which meant "The Sea Demon from the deep sea".

The strongest Lamia, the Queen of Lamia Race, was one of the strongest creatures in Water God's world. She was also one of three Water God's High Priests.  This post was posted by her personally. No wonder that the young Lamia girls were all longing for love after reading it.

"My Queen, do you know anything about this Apostle?"

"He looks quite young. I remember most Apostles are from the Fantasy Turtle Race, and the youngest is was 8000 years old."

The Lamia Race was also a race known for their longevity. Many of them had seen the old Fantasy Turtle Apostles. Water God didn't often declare its will to ordinary people. Most Apostles that had appeared in front of the public were from the Fantasy Turtle Race.

"He doesn't just 'look young', but is actually very young. He probably isn't 100 years old yet," The matured Lamia Queen said as she licked her lips.

When she had first seen the two Apostles, she immediately realized which of them was the special one. It was all too clear, because Water God hadn't even hidden its favour for that Apostle. The silver mask on the Apostle's face had explained everything. The mask "White Emperor" contained Water God's god power! It had the highest permission amongst all masks. If she hadn't known who the great Water God was... she would think that Yun Xi was the Water God's illegitimate child.

"What?! He isn't even 100 years old yet and is already a hero-ranked Apostle! He is awesome!"

"Whoa! I'm 300 years old and I still don't know when I will reach the hero rank!"

"He’s special!" The Lamia girls were surprised, but the lights in their eyes had become brighter.

"Sigh, it's too bad that humans are too afraid of us. Why is the Mermaid Race so popular? It's so unfair!"

"Yes, yes, we’re beautiful too! We should meet the Apostle's requirements."

"Do you really want to go?" The Lamia Queen looked at the noisy young Lamia girls meaningfully.

"Yes, but... our races are different. Humans and Lamias can't have children."

"Yes, it's a pity." The Lamia girls suddenly realized this problem, as they spoke their worry to their Queen.

Chapter 201: Turning Point

The Lamia Race and The Mermaid Race were both Water God's chosen races. However, due to their different appearances and living habits, people had different views of the two races.

Mermaids were seen as one of Water God's avatars due to their perfect faces and wonderful songs. They were popular throughout the whole world. Lamias had creepy snake bodies and were several times larger than humans, therefore, they were regarded as a nightmare from the deep sea. No human had the guts to get close to them.

Even though the Lamia Queen was one of the three Water God's High Priests, she couldn't dispel the human prejudices either. Therefore, the Lamia girls just watched the fun and didn't really think that they could take part in the selection ceremony. They didn't think that they were entitled to apply for it because they couldn't have children with humans. To humans, they were absolutely different kinds of creatures.

"In fact, I’ve had a talk with the Apostle. He said that he didn't mind whether his bride is human or not. Besides, he is unlike other humans because he can have children with any race." Looking at the anxious expressions on the Lamia girls' faces, the Lamia Queen smiled meaningfully and announced this startling news.

"What?! Is it true? He can actually do this!"

"My Queen, you're not joking, are you?"

"Whoa! He’s a perfect Apostle!"

It really was amazing news. For a long time, there was a huge misunderstanding between humans and Lamias. Almost none of them dared to believe this news, even though they had heard it from the Lamia Queen personally, who was also Water God's High Priestess.

The Lamia Race and the Mermaid Race both had no males in their races. Their reproductive systems were special: first, they gestated "womb" in their bodies, then they would find strong beings to offer them biotic genes so that they could breed strong offspring.

In fact, the Human Race wasn't a good choice for the Lamia Race and the Mermaid Race because most humans were very weak, so they couldn't impregnate Mermaids or Lamias. Most mermaids and lamias would look for strong sea monsters and obtain their biotic genes to gestate their offspring.

In Water God's world, several special sea monsters were responsible for this task. They were nearly immortal and had obtained a few god powers from the Water God so that they could help the two races maintain a stable population.

Unfortunately, due to some unknown reason, several old sea monsters had all fallen dead asleep. For dozens of years the two races hadn't had any children. .

"We can have children without help from the Sail Jellyfishes?" The youngest Lamia girl looked surprised.

She was the last one who had seen the sea monsters that were called "Sail Jellyfishes". The Mermaid Race and the Lamia Race had relied on the several Sail Jellyfishes to gestate offspring for many, many years, which was so long that they had even regarded it as a natural thing.

"Yes, because his body contains Water God's power, so he can carry out the same duty as the Sail Jellyfishes. He is a unique Apostle, and all of you can try to obtain his love." The Lamia Queen looked at the young Lamia girls with an expectant look.

She had seen various emotions in their eyes, including pleasant surprise, itching for a try, nervousness, and uneasiness.

How long, since the last time the same noise appeared amongst Lamias? The Lamia Race had been completely cut off from human world for a long time. It was about time to reappear in front of humans again.

This world didn't only belong to humans but belonged to all living beings who believed in Water God.

The Human Race were the masters of the ground.

The Mermaid Race were the communicators between humans and the deep sea races.

The Lamia Race were the representatives of sea demons.

Now, due to an unforeseen opportunity, the three forces in the Water God's world started to communicate with each other.

The Water God's world had stopped changing for a long, long time. But now, it started to reform itself again. It was all due to the silver-masked young boy. Based on a human's standard, he was already a mature man, but in the Lamia Queen's eyes, he was still a boy.

"If so, I want to have a try!" Finally, a Lamia girl raised her hand.

Yes, this is it. You're still young, how can you always stay alone in the dark, deep sea! Go outside, go outside! To see the vast world, to see the mountains and cities, to look for the things you are longing for!

"Yes, I want to have a child. Since the Sail Jellyfishes have fallen asleep, then I will choose the Apostle!"

One after another, the Lamia girls bared their hearts. In fact, the Lamia girls were already bored of their days in the deep sea. Almost all of them had experienced swimming close to the coastline at night, looking at the brilliantly lit human world from a distance. However, they had no reason to and lacked the guts to swim close to the bright lit world.

The Lamia Race was ominous, therefore, humans couldn't live together with lamias. The Lamia girls believed this. However, this time, the situation was different. The young, curious Lamia girls had finally found a good reason to venture into the bright human world.

The Water God's Notice was posted to all living beings in Water God's world, which meant that they also had the right to become the Apostle's brides, so they could find an excuse to go to Caelian, the City of Water.

"Good, good, very good!" The Lamia Queen smiled.

This is it!

No rule actually forbade the Lamia Race to leave the sea, and no human dared to be hostile to the Lamia Race. Otherwise, the Lamia Queen wouldn't be one of the three High Priestesses.

They built an invisible wall themselves. They worried about being repelled or treated coldly by humans, so they refused to leave the nest. To them, Yun Xi's Bride Selection Ceremony was just the right excuse to let them leave the deep sea and go to the brand new human world.

Therefore, as their elder, I must lead and protect these children who just stepped out of their comfort zones to accomplish their life goals. The Lamia Queen thought in her heart.

Thank you, Water God. This must be your great will, so that the young boy would come here and meet with us.

Chapter 202: The Three High Priestesses

In Water God's world, the Caelian Water God’s Temple.

Yun Xi sat at the top of the temple tower looking at the mega city under his feet in silence. Several days ago, the whole city had been decorated with lanterns and colored hangings. The Apostles' coming was much more meaningful to the city than Yun Xi and Yun Que had thought.

Yun Xi wouldn't forget the shocked expression on the three High Priestesses' faces when he and Yun Que walked into the Caelian Water God’s Temple.

The Lamia Queen - the Queen of the deep sea races and the most powerful of the three.

The Mermaid Queen - the Matriarch of the Mermaid Race, whose race was taking Caelian as their primary active region.

The Caelian Queen - the human high priestess who was theoretically the highest ranking person.

They were the three High Priestesses who were actually dominating the sea and ground in the whole of Water God's world. The Water God's world was dominated by this alliance. With Water God's temple at its core, Caelian was the center of the world.

The three High Priestesses represented the sea demon races whose habitats were in the deep sea, the amphibious races who could live both in the sea and on the ground, and the human race who were the masters of ground.

They were the three “Most High” beings of Caelian City, and even the whole of Water God's world. As a matter of course, they were all hero-ranked.

According to their strength, the Lamia Queen, the Mermaid Queen, and then the Caelian Queen. However, if judging them from their influence, the Caelian Queen was undoubtedly the main leader.

Even though they were the three highest ranking priestesses in the world, they still looked shocked when they saw Yun Xi, as if they had just seen the most incredible miracle in the world.

Yun Xi still remembered their expressions when they saw his White Emperor Mask. The eldest one amongst the three priestesses, was the strongest. The Sea Demon Queen. The Lamia Queen drew herself up and coiled her tail, staring at Yun Xi with her snake-like eyes, which made Yun Que feel downtrodden and even want to attack the queen.

The most elegant one amongst the three priestesses, the Mermaid Queen, supported her harp and covered her mouth in surprise. The harp emitted a round of soft blue light one after another in the air.

The last one, the titular master of all mankind, the High Priestess of Caelian of the Water God’s Temple, the Caelian Queen, could barely hold on to the scepter in her hand. She shook, because the scepter in her hand was resonating with Yun Xi's silver mask. One, two, three. The scepter had rung three times, which made the Caelian Queen speechless.

"You're watched by the god..." The Lamia Queen immediately adjusted her mood and lowered her head to Yun Xi.

In this world, even the strongest sea monster couldn't force her to lower her prideful head, but she proactively did so in front of Yun Xi.

"You're blessed by the god..." The Mermaid Queen played her blue harp and sang a song.

The song was the legendary Mermaids Singing, which mermaids used to praise the god.

"You're beloved by the god..." The Caelian Queen raised the scepter and shook the silver aeolian bells on the scepter.

This scepter was granted to her by the supreme Water God. It would only resonate with items of the same rank. The first resonance meant that the item contained god power. For example, Yun Que's Bloody Mask was such an item because it was a Water God's Apostle's identity certificate.

The second resonance meant that the item contained the same amount of god power as the Water God's Scepter. The Caelian Queen only knew of one such item in the whole world. It was inside a temple under the deep sea, and it was called "Sea Demon's Mirror".

Theoretically, there shouldn't be a third resonance, because it would mean that the god power in the item was much greater than the god power in the Water God's Scepter.

The Caelian Queen had never heard of such a thing that had once appeared in this world's history, and therefore, when she heard the third resonance, she could barely believe her ears.

‘An artifact that is even more advanced than the Water God's Scepter? It can't be true!’ She thought, till the silver-masked young man walked up to the three High Priestesses.

When they saw his mask, they naturally knew that this young man was unique even compared to all the Apostles in this world's history. Deep, thick "Power of Mist" wrapped the White Emperor Mask. As Water God's priestesses, they could even immediately notice the god's aura from the mask.

It was an unprecedented level of charisma!

For the first time in the world's history, a supreme Apostle had appeared. His identity was even higher than the High Priestesses, and he could even be regarded as the god's speaker!

They didn't need more evidence, because the silver mask had already explained everything.

He was the "Emperor"!

Yun Xi and Yun Que hadn't realized the meaning of White Emperor Mask to the Water God's world. After Water God granted Yun Xi the mask, Yun Xi was doomed to be a legend, and the Water God had also told him about it.

"You will become the legend. You will become my Apostle!"

And the Star System had also confirmed it.

"You will obtain the fake power of the Emperor after putting on the mask."

The mask's power was fake, but, it was just relative to Water God. After all, compared to the immortal god, the power of the Emperor was just a drop in the river of time. However, to the Water God's world it was absolutely real, which symbolized the supreme god's will.

Chapter 203: The Girls Are Coming

"Therefore, let's carry out this plan." As Yun Xi was still puzzled, Yun Que had finished discussing the inconceivable plan with the three High Priestesses.

"Since this is the Apostle's requirement, we, the Lamia Race, will support you with all our strength." The Lamia Queen gazed at Yun Xi with a dangerous look, as if she was going to "eat" him.

"We, the Mermaid Race, will support you too," The Mermaid Queen answered. She gently smiled and played the blue harp.

"I will obey god's will." The Caelian Queen shook the Water God's Scepter in her hand, listening the euphonious tinkle of rings.

Start from here, the "Expansion Plan of A Million Brides" swept through the whole Water God's world like a storm.

With the three High Priestesses as the core, the whole Water God's world had been involved in this unparalleled event. One post after another, and one priest after another announced Yun Xi's marriage event all over the world. The news had spread across the whole world at an unbelievable speed.

There were about ten million intelligent beings in Water God's world. Most were humans, and the remainder were the Mermaid Race, the Lamia Race, and other aquatic races.

The whole world was focused on the Caelian City now and it had become vibrant with life due to Yun Xi's proposal plan. Every day, many aquatic races and humans were coming to the City of Water, Caelian, in groups. Most of them were unmarried girls.

All over the world, Water God's priests were dutifully choosing the most beautiful girls in their parishes and sending them to Caelian. If regarding the whole Water God's world as a garden, then all the residents in the garden had gone into action for Yun Que's plan, and this was what made Yun Xi feel distressed.

"I never said that I would marry so many girls..." Sitting on the temple spire, Yun Xi murmured in a lifeless tone.

He had only wanted to find all the Starwing Knights girls. What went wrong?  So that I ended up in this dilemma? Was it my fault or Yun Que's?

"Are you still thinking whether this is right or wrong?" A familiar, sarcastic voice echoed beside Yun Xi's ears.

"I never wanted to do this," Yun Xi sighed.

A million brides? He couldn't even image it, not to mention to accept it. Even though these girls had responded to Water God Temples' call and come to Caelian, perhaps none of them had known the truth.

"It doesn’t depend on your will. We must do it. Otherwise, you, and me, and even the whole world won't have a future." Yun Que inexorably watched the girls in the busy streets.

Controlling everything and increasing the odds of winning to the Water God's camp, this was her choice.

Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword, would be an incredibly strong enemy, and Yun Xi's White Emperor Mask would become the major variable that could help them defeat Shaya Longnis.

The Dark Shadow Spider Queen's coming had greatly accelerated the speed of Shaya Longnis' coming. Their original plan had been to find the most suitable bride for Water God as soon as possible, but now, it had become too difficult to accomplish.

They had no choice but to start preparing to fight. In the face of Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword, they had to do everything to enhance themselves.

Fortunately, this bastard belongs to the Water God's camp. Yun Que thought. He is beloved by Water God, and he can become stronger through proposing to girls. This is really a bug-like ability!

Considering Shaya Longnis' ability, Yun Que had to consider that Yun Xi's ability was something that Water God had up its sleeve.

As expected, the battle between gods was far beyond her and any mortal’s imagination. Her, "Yun Hai", and the black-haired beauty, were just three chess pieces on this large chessboard named "the Water God's world". The god hiding behind this world, Water God, and the upcoming Slime Sky Sword, Shaya Longnis, were the real chess players.

However, Yun Que didn't resist it.

Like the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, everything in the universe had its fate. Before she could actually obtain power as a chess player, it wasn't bad to achieve victory as a chess piece. Victory means endless possibility, because the loser won't have a future.

"What should we do next?" Yun Xi counted the beautiful girls on the street under his feet.

There were female pharmacist who wore exotic clothes, fisherman’s maidens who wore tropical skirts and necklaces, and priestess who wore sacerdotal robes. Apart from them, there were also mermaids and lamias who were bathing in the fountains.

In the Water God's world, aquatic races and mankind were all Water God's people. Humans were afraid of the Lamia Race because they looked horrible, but humans didn’t refuse to become integrated with the girls from other races.

There were already over a hundred thousand unmarried girls that had arrived at Caelian during these days. According to the news from the three High Priestesses, there were still a lot of girls of different races on the road. It was calculated that the sum of girls may really be able to reach a million eventually.

What does it mean? Yun Xi could barely imagine it as he had never thought that he would propose to a million girls.

A million! What should I do?

They were all Water God's believers. Responding to Water God's call, they came here and waited for their fates. None of them had expected such a strange fate was waiting for them.

"You have no choice and can only propose to them all. If your Mist Soul Army can really reach a million, we will be able to defeat Shaya Longnis’, the Sky Sword's Slime Army. Therefore, for victory, you must accomplish this mission, successfully proposing to a million girls!" Yun Que said and looked at Yun Xi.

Her voice still sounded calm, but her eyes had undoubtedly exposed her disdain, as if she was looking at a bug!

Chapter 204: The Mysterious First One

"There are a million girls! How could I propose to all of them!" Yun Xi was going out of his mind.

Yun Que's plan had almost destroyed Yun Xi's outlook.

Can anyone imagine it? A man would propose to a million unmarried girls and achieve success eventually?

How can it be possible?! There are a million girls! Even if proposing to a girl needs a minute, then repeating it a million times would need... No, stop calculating the number! I will go crazy!

Even if this was just a dream, a trial world, Yun Xi still didn't believe that he had a chance to accomplish this insane plan. Compared to this plan, the truculent green hippos and the Stone Soldier Army were just nothing. At the least when he had challenged the green hippos and the Stone Soldier Army, he had had the confidence that he would be the final winner.

However, this "Expansion Plan - A Million Brides!" was far beyond his imagination.

"Of course, it's impossible to propose to them one by one, therefore, you need to be selective, determining your focus targets." Since Yun Que had prepared to carry out this plan for Yun Xi, she would naturally do her best.

No matter how insane, ridiculous, or absurd this plan was, since Yun Xi's White Emperor Mask contained that power, then she must help him with all her strength. Only Yun Xi's cheat-like Mist Soul Army could fight against Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's Slime Army.

It was right to use all their resources to obtain victory, wasn't it? Only the winner could record and rewrite the history.

"The focus targets?" Yun Xi sensed an unusual feeling from her words.

"Of course. In your Mist Soul Army, there are some special units, right? These special Mist Soul girls are the core of your Mist Soul Army, and the keys to leading your Mist Soul Army to victory. They are the hero units in your Mist Soul Army. So, if you want your Mist Soul Army to be the strongest, they are irreplaceable," Yun Que said with clear logic.

Mist Soul Army was a fantastic army that was beyond any mortal's imagination. No word was overrated to this matchless army. Because Yun Xi's White Emperor Mask could create such a frightening army, thereby the Water God's camp stood a chance to defeat Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword.

Since that was the case, the Mist Soul Army deserved to have the best members. If there wasn't a "limiting condition", Yun Que had even wanted to let all the females in Water God's world join Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army.

"My... hero units..." Naturally, Hua Yue, Xiao Cao, Hua Huo, and the twin witches appeared inside Yun Xi's mind.

With the Water God Temple's help, Yun Xi had confirmed the locations of Hua Yue and Xiao Cao. The same as the other girls, they had also lost their memories and thought that they were natives. However, he couldn't find any trace of Hua Huo and the twin witches, as if they had never appeared in the Water God's world. Of course, that was impossible.

Yun Xi had an ominous presentiment. They had perhaps joined the other camp. Besides, Yun Xi hadn't found Mu Mu yet. He was afraid for this little girl, who was cast upon the horrible desolate island whilst looking for her father.

"Yes, I have made a list..." Speaking of this, Yun Que hesitated for a while, then made her decision quickly.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If she wanted to win, she must risk everything. She wasn't a "chosen one" like the man named "Yun Hai". She had to pay a real price to win. In order to survive, she had given up any impracticable dreams from a long time ago.

Therefore, this is my own choice!

"You are... really pushy, Yun Que." Yun Xi should have felt happy for having such a perfect partner, however, this was something he would never accept.

"For victory, I can be unscrupulous. You and I are just two waves in the river of fate, nothing more." Yun Que turned around and left.

To survive, there is always something that people have to face, no matter whether they like it or not. Yun Hai, we must do this. It’s unavoidable to both of them.

The wheel of fortune was still turning.

...

In the middle of the night, Yun Xi was walking on the street. Thin mist had wrapped his body and covered his mask, otherwise, he would get involved in trouble if he was recognized by others.

He was going to the seashore. Yun Que had told him that the first girl he should propose to was waiting for him there.

To be honest, Yun Xi didn't know how Yun Que had made the ranking list and who the mysterious "first girl" was. But, on Yun Que's list, this girl was the top priority, which meant that Yun Que thought that the girl could be the main core of Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army.

Who was this girl? Why did Yun Que have such a high opinion about her? Yun Xi was curious about it. In Yun Xi's mind, Yun Que was a very serious man and would never bend his principle for selfish ends. Even frustration and crushing defeat wouldn't be able to shake his spirit and will, and he would definitely find the slimmest chance of survival in any hopeless situation.

He had learned his "Mind’s Eye" in such a situation. Yun Que, as an archer, his attack was always deadly. Both his battle experience and strong will had let Yun Xi concede that he was better qualified. It wasn't a gap that could be filled within a short period.

Since he was so special, then who was the girl he especially chose for Yun Xi?

With curiosity, Yun Xi arrived at the seashore. Sitting amongst the jagged reefs, the girl was looking at the moon. Her slim figure looked lonely, and her black skin, sharp ears and the black bandages on her body had all exposed her race and identity.

"Dark... elf..."

Yun Xi froze. His body couldn't help but shiver.

It's her!

Chapter 205: Familiar and Strange

That night, as if Yun Xi was swimming in a tropical ocean, a sweet and hot feeling wrapped around his body.

She was warm, soft and gentle. Yun Xi had obtained his most amazing experience in that dream, which he hadn't learned during that summer from the big sister.

So far, Yun Xi still remembered the sweetness of the dark elf's tongue and the marvelous, wonderful time they had spent together.

In her deep pupils, was his wildest desire that was hiding inside his heart, and his emotional expression relaxed after realizing this.

Pain and sadness. Yun Xi could sense a slight feeling of strangeness from her expression, as if she was suffering a great pain.

Her black hair was smooth, and her beauty was breathtaking, but her slim body shivered, and her groan sounded like she was bearing something.

During that night, he kissed her lips under the moonlight, and bit her neck with soft love.

She looked puzzled in his arms, and she always struggled to be free, but his hands tightly grasped her on his knees, and he kissed her in various ways.

His kiss was like the flowers that were falling, continuously dropping on her ears, cheeks, eyes, brows... she sighed and groaned, hesitating whether she should resist this comfortable experience, till he raised her chin and frantically sucked her tongue, she finally opened her eyes wild in fear.

Yun Xi had firmly remembered all her attractive appearances.

Her red lips were cold and soft at first, but soon afterwards, they became hot and smooth from his kissing. He could remember all the details, but... did it really happen? Or was it just his imagination?

Yun Xi couldn't figure out which part was his dream and which part was the reality, however, it was undoubtedly an unforgettable night, and he had decided to bury it in the deepest levels of his heart and keep it unseen. He hadn't expected this... WHY? IS? SHE? HERE?

Who is she? Where is she from? And why would she do that with him that night...

Yun Xi had too many questions, but when he tried to open his mouth, he found himself speechless, because he knew too little about her, and he didn't even know whether it was just a dream.

Was it really just a dream?

Yun Xi had never confirmed his feelings about it, till now, when he saw her face again. Making sure that she was as real as all living beings in the universe, finally, he understood that something had really happened between him and the dark elf girl that night.

Remembering the passionate scenes, Yun Xi's face turned red and hot. He could barely look at the dark elf girl, who was sitting on the reef and watching the tidewater washing across her slender feet.

Basking in the moonlight, somehow, she looked heartbreakingly lonely.

The vast sea and the silver moon formed a romantic background, but she was still alone, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

I want to reach for her and ask her what happened that night!

Yun Xi had an unprecedented, strong impulse in his heart.

"Are you there?" The dark elf girl heard Yun Xi's footsteps. She turned around and rose to her feet.

Her round toes were spreading a special young girl's aura. Her skin wasn't the healthy tan but night-like black, but her eyes looked so lonely... no, perhaps it was because she had been used to being lonely, so he couldn't find it in her pupils.

The assassins from the darkness were doomed to bear loneliness and act alone.

"Let me introduce myself to you. My name is Black Moon, a qualified dark elf commander and logistic officer. I have the experience to handle troops. I think I'm eligible to be your Mist Soul Army's commander," The dark elf said, espousing all her advantages.

Yun Hai's Mist Soul Army was the biggest trump card they had. She couldn't just sit quietly and look at Yun Xi wasting this ability.

Therefore, she must control his army, even though she hated to use this method.

But... why is Yun Hai's expression so strange? He looks excited, confused and nervous, as if this isn't our first meeting.

It’s impossible, because I’m the "Black Obsidian", the lonely assassin, the Ten Leaves Alliance's elite and a rare dark elf. He shouldn't have seen my real self before.

She was from the darkness and would return to the darkness. Because of the justice she wanted to protect, she never had a long relationship with anyone.

"Black Moon" was just a fake name, but like the name "Yun Que", it also contained a special, old meaning.

In the legend, the Black Moon Prince was the child of the Dark God, just like "Yun Hai" who was beloved by the Water God.

"Black Moon... it's a good name..." Yun Xi took a deep breath. He adjusted his mood and asked the dark elf girl, "Will you become my bride?"

Black Moon gazed at Yun Xi. Her answer would determine the world's fate.

She knew that he wasn't a reliable man. He had the god's favour but didn't understand its meaning.

He was beloved by the world and the god. He was the child of god, shining like the sun.

As for her, she had to hide in the darkness and couldn't even have her own name. She had only her code name "Black Obsidian" and the borrowed name "Yun Que", and even now, she still had to lie and use a new fake name.

But... it doesn't matter. She had known this since the day of her birth.

She was always cursed by others and lived in a world that was full of prejudice and discrimination. She watched the shining world from hell and protected the "justice" in her heart there.

Only this principle was what she wouldn't violate or doubt.

Even fighting till the last second, she wouldn't put down the sword in her hand.

For victory, she would be daring and unscrupulous.

This was the path she had chosen, the abandoned one's path of justice.

Chapter 206: Will You Accept Me?

"Yes, I have chosen you. Come and propose to me. I will become the most excellent Mist Soul in your army."

Yes, this was "Black Obsidian", and "Yun Que"'s choice.

He... no, she, for the fate she was carrying, she had to become strong at all costs.

She wouldn't care about other people's opinions and wouldn't give up on a glimmer of hope.

She wasn't a chosen one like Yun Hai, so she must do her best to enhance herself.

She cherished the opportunity the Water God had given her, and she wouldn't allow her personal feelings to affect her judgement.

She didn't mind whether Yun Hai was a salacious scum or not, because she knew that he was this world's only hope.

"Well... you... I... can we?" Yun Xi said haltingly, looking at the dark elf girl.

She was different than Lu Lu, Ling Ling and Mei Lan!

Yun Xi didn't know why she was also involved in this world, perhaps she was also one of the passengers on the floating ship, White Lotus, but... proposing to her was totally different to proposing to the Starwing Knights girls!

"Why are you asking? Don't you like underage girls?" Black Obsidian looked at Yun Xi in surprise. She had confidence in her appearance. Dark Elf Race was a cursed race, but after losing their divine spirits, they had also obtained a dark-type physique and charming glamour to compensate.

According to what she had known about this man, he should feel weak to any irresistible and charmingly beautiful girls.

"No! That's not true!" Yun Xi shook his head like crazy. He didn't know the reason, but he wanted to show his most prominent side to her.

The Expansion Plan of A Million Brides and his Mist Soul Army were just the results of the stars' guiding. They weren't his true desires!

One bride was already enough. A million brides... was such a crazy thing that it shouldn't even appear in novels!

What a terrible world this world is!

"You... are special. You're different than other girls." Yun Xi tried to stop his heart from pounding. Why? They just stayed together, and he himself had become so strange. Was it because they had the experience of skin to skin? Or it was it due to other reasons?

She hadn't recognized Yun Xi. After all, after wearing the Water God's Mask, even Yun Xi himself couldn't recognize who this mature young man was.

"Special... why am I special?" Black Obsidian wondered. This man should think that this was their first meeting. She had taken off her mask and withdrew her disguise, to appear in front of him using her true identity, a dark elf, because she thought that he knew nothing about her.

Then why weren't his eyes saying that? They couldn't have had any contact before!

"In fact... I..." Yun Xi's lips were dry and his mouth was parched. He tried, but couldn't speak a word in front of her.

"Raise your head. You're this world's hope, so you must believe in yourself. I come here because I believe in you, do you understand?" Black Obsidian felt uncomfortable, but still comforted Yun Xi.

Her plan couldn't fail. It was a “must-be” to be the commander of Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army.

To this end, she wouldn't allow any error.

"You believe in me?" Yun Xi looked at the dark elf girl. He had touched every place of her skin, but she still didn't know that "he" was "he".

"Yes, I believe in you. I believe that you can change this world." This wasn't a lie but the truth.

Black Obsidian was sure that Yun Xi was their only trump card to fight against Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword.

When the three High Priestesses first saw them, their expression had explained everything.

You're watched by the god.

You're blessed by the god.

You're beloved by the god.

She didn't need more evidence and had confirmed that Yun Xi was the chosen one of the Water God's world.

She must support him, becoming his power, then obtain his power to grab the final victory.

Everything would be worthy, as long as she could win!

To accomplish this, she could even sacrifice herself.

Flamboyant slogans were meaningless, because she needed real power.

Since she couldn't obtain Yun Xi's White Emperor Mask, because it was Water God's charisma, at the least, she would try to secure control of the "Mist Soul Army". Otherwise, her "Expansion Plan of A Million Brides" would mean nothing.

"I will change the world? Do I have the power?" Yun Xi stretched out his fingers and stroked the silver mask on his face.

It was a fake power of the emperor to the god, but to this world, it was the supreme imperial crown.

So, I have to carry this fate on my back after putting on the White Emperor Mask?

"Yes, you're the chosen one, you're the beloved one. For the world, I swear to fight for you. So, propose to me! Let me become your bride!" Black Obsidian bared her feet and gazed at Yun Xi with a serious look.

"If... this is your hope, if this is what you want... then... then... I want you to be my bride!" Yun Xi said with his voice trembling.

It's different... it's totally different... this proposal! I should say it to my first love, I should say it to Hua Huo... Why did I say it so unthinkingly to her?!

Yun Xi's heart beat nervously. He waited for her answer, as if he was really proposing to his most beloved girl.

God, is this world abnormal or have I gone mad?

The great stars, why did you create this plan "To Love, Starchild!"?

"I'm... willing to be your bride. I'm willing to become the commander of your Mist Soul Army." Black Obsidian let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, I did it.

It doesn't matter. It isn't dirty. It’s for victory, I have to do it.

Even though she had had an extremely bad impression of this man.

Chapter 207: The Unsuccessful Proposal

Under the silver moonlight, the dark elf girl gazed at Yun Xi with a firm look, waiting for his answer.

This was just one small step for this world... but was a giant leap for herself.

She wouldn't allow any failure. At all costs, she must get engaged with this shameless, salacious bastard and obtain that position, the highest commander of the Mist Soul Army.

Silence. A stillness as if death hung over their heads. Yun Xi looked at himself first, then looked at the dark elf girl in confusion.

"It seems that... we failed?" Hesitating for a while, Yun Xi said aloud the truth. He had proposed to the dark elf and she had agreed to his proposal, but the marriage contract still hadn't been established.

In the list of the Side Quest Four "To love, Starchild!", there wasn't the 108th bride.

Yun Xi didn't know how to describe his mood, because he knew the reason why: She wasn't really willing to become his bride, just like the mysterious black-haired woman, the Dark Shadow Spider queen.

"Failed? How can this be true?! Shouldn't you feel weak to any irresistible and charmingly beautiful girls?" Black Obsidian sputtered.

Her plan all depended on whether she could control the Mist Soul Army. If she couldn't accomplish this step, then this world wouldn't have a future!

Why? This guy has had so many brides, why would he fail on such a simple thing?

Am I not good enough?!

Speaking of glamour, the dark elf girl had confidence in herself!

"It's not my problem. I am being forthright with you!" Yun Xi quickly shook his head. He made up his mind to propose to the dark elf girl. This was his most sincere proposal even amongst all his 108 times of proposal.

If she was one of the Starwing Knights girls, he wouldn't hesitate such a long time.

To him, this dark elf girl "Black Moon" was special. He wouldn't be insincere, therefore, it wasn't his problem, but...

"It's not your problem. Indeed, your character..." After Black Obsidian cooled off, she had to admit that the "Yun Hai" she knew wouldn't resist her charm.

"So, it's my problem..." After making a painstaking analysis, Black Obsidian had finally realized that she herself was the biggest problem.

"The common point of your 108 times of proposal is..." Black Obsidian gazed at Yun Xi with an unbelieving look.

How can it be true? The 107 girls... they were all willing to marry this shameless bastard!

Weren't they just influenced by his identity of Water God's Apostle, so they couldn't refuse him?

How could they be so stupid?! How could they make such a big mistake?!

"Yes, they did so voluntarily. None of them had refused my proposal. If they didn't really want to marry me, then my proposal would not succeed, and they wouldn't become the members of my Mist Soul Army. They must accept me from the bottom of their hearts," Yun Xi said seriously, telling her the truth.

The Side Quest Four "To love, Starchild!" couldn't be simply accomplished by agreeing to his proposal.

If the girls were being forced, the marriage contract would be invalid.

He had never forced any girl to marry him. They were all volunteering!

"Wait... let me sort out my feelings..." Black Obsidian's mind was in a mess now.

The things that were happening was already beyond her understanding.

One man proposed to 107 girls and achieved success, except the Dark Shadow Spider queen, all the girls were volunteering to be his bride.

Could such a thing be allowed? Could such a thing really happen?

What's wrong with this world? Has it been twisted?

If so... it meant that if she wanted to be the Mist Soul Army's commander, she must voluntarily marry this bastard too.

"Don't push yourself. It's ok." Yun Xi sighed. He had prepared to face this failure.

The dark elf girl, Black Moon, wasn't a member of his Starwing Knights nor a native girl who admired the Water God's Apostles.

She was a beautiful dark elf. How could she agree to a strange man's proposal when they just met for the first time?

Yesterday, they didn't know each other. If Yun Que didn't bring her into contact with Yun Xi, they wouldn't have met each other this night.

Let this night become a sweet dream! Since he could meet the girl on the romantic seashore, Yun Xi had felt fully satisfied.

"Why... how can it be... I... won't give up!" Black Obsidian ground her teeth and pondered the conditions of success of Yun Xi's proposal.

It isn't his problem, the problem is that I must want to marry him from the bottom of my heart. Can I do it?

It was impossible. She hadn't had any idea on how to have a love affair with anyone. Her fate and justice had determined that she must walk a lonely road.

Love was a luxury that she should never have.

But now, if she wanted to become the Mist Soul Army's commander and obtain the power to change this world, she must love this man and marry him willingly.

"In normal circumstances, it's impossible." Black Obsidian gasped and thought deeply.

I won't give up till the last second! Thinking, thinking, and keep thinking! Black Obsidian, you can't be beaten down so easily.

For victory, you must find a method to accept this man's proposal willingly!

If I can't accept him when I'm under normal circumstances, then... a pinpoint of light suddenly flashed through Black Obsidian's mind, like a lantern in the night.

Right! What if I'm in an abnormal situation?! What if I can't control myself and I am in a confused state of mind?

She remembered that night, which she preferred to be buried in the deepest side of her heart and keep it unseen.

Chapter 208: Black Obsidian's Choice

Yun Xi looked at the dark elf with curiosity.

Even now, after his first proposal failed, he still didn't understand what she was thinking.

The encounter with her, the visions of her, and the hot, dreamy night with her... they were all too vague and visional.

If Yun Xi hadn't met her again this night, he would think that that night was just a wonderful and fantastic illusion, and that he failed to distinguish the boundary between the real world and the dream.

Till now, then she appeared in front of him and summoned that memory again.

He and she had spent such a night. He could vividly remember the soft touch of her skin, and...

No, I shouldn't keep remembering this! I can't tell her the truth. She doesn't know that this silver-masked man in front of her is "him".

"Let's go. I think I know a place that can help us solve this problem." Black Obsidian showed him a firm look, as if she had decided to dive into boiling water and walk on fire.

"We... can we really be together?" Yun Xi looked at the dark elf’s slim body, wondering if he was still in a dream.

They were so close, yet so distant. He couldn't feel their hearts getting any closer.

She was so beautiful, and so lonely, like a fairy who had become accustomed to loneliness.

"This is necessary, because it’s the only solution." Black Obsidian held Yun Xi's hand and frowned.

She had never expected to get into that uncontrollable state again, but she didn’t have choice.

Her hand is small! Holding the dark elf's hand and feeling that touch, Yun Xi hoped that this moment would be eternal.

Yes, this is that touch. The things that happened that night wasn't a dream. It was a real memory!

The smooth, soft touch of her skin... it can't be wrong!

Walking on Caelian's misty street, Yun Xi had butterflies in his stomach.

Even though he had covered his true appearance with mist, he still felt that the people around them were looking at him and the dark elf with curiosity, as if they were some rare creatures.

Indeed, Black Obsidian had special black skin. To the Water God's world, she was undoubtedly a very rare creature.

"What is her race?!"

"She is too tanned. No... people can't have that skin by getting a tan!"

"Her skin is charming and beautiful!"

"Is she a girl taking part in the Apostle's Marriage Ceremony?"

The people on the street were scattered, but they all looked at Yun Xi and Black Obsidian, and put most attentions to the dark elf girl.

"Here it is." Black Obsidian ignored the people around them and arrived at the place with Yun Xi, a place that "good kids can't go to".

"A tavern?" Deep in the night, the tavern was still open. Maybe it was already about closing time. There was only the shopkeeper, an old man, sitting in the tavern.

"I will book the whole tavern. Take out the best wines and you can leave." Black Obsidian's voice sounded irresistible.

"Ok, you two customers, enjoy yourselves." The old shopkeeper looked at the beautiful dark elf, then looked at Yun Xi's nervous face, showing an explicit smile on his face.

"Pa!" With a snap, Black Obsidian had opened the bottle cap. It was a bottle of tequila that the shopkeeper purposely chose for them. Then, she firmly stared at the "fiery" tequila.

She didn't carry a Golden Orchid with her, she had to hypnotize herself through quantity.

As an elite assassin, she had never been drunk, so she didn't know how much she could drink.

As a qualified assassin, she wouldn't drink any alcohol and would put all her heart into the mission during the period.

In the past, she had once teamed up with a drunkard. As a matter of course, the drunkard caused a delay in the mission because he had drunk too much, and died under siege.

After that, Black Obsidian was always on guard against alcohol. Even though she always carried the best wine-making material, Golden Orchid with her, she had never tried to drink any alcohol.

She had indeed used the Golden Orchid when she was grievously wounded, but it was just a forced choice.

She had no Golden Orchid now, so, she had to drink to hypnotize herself. She was a person who liked everything to go according to plan and she hated to meet any accidents. So now, she had to commit a crime on herself.

Under normal circumstances, she couldn't force herself to accept "Yun Hai"'s proposal.

Therefore, for victory and for hope, she had to be "abnormal".

"Goo... this..." Yun Xi looked around the room uncomfortably.

Deep in the night, in a closed room, a man and a woman and wine... Whatever Yun Xi thought, he was in a very "dangerous" situation.

"For... justice!" Black Obsidian ground her teeth. She picked up the bottle and poured the liquid into her mouth.

"Wait, that’s tequila!" Yun Xi was flabbergasted after realizing the words on the bottle.

Tequila wine was a fiery spirit made by the juice of tequila. It looked transparent but had a high alcohol content. Ordinary people would be drunk after a few sips, naturally, no one wouldn't drink it in this way except newbies.

"What... are you... saying?" Black Obsidian's eyes looked vacant. She wasn’t completely drunk, but her dewy eyes had made Yun Xi's heart beat faster.

"Let me drink with you," Yun Xi sighed. For the first time after arriving at the Water God's world, he had such a fantastic feeling.

As a baker, he wouldn't choose strong spirits like tequila. Instead, he picked up a bottle of red wine and sipped it.

In the dim tavern, Black Obsidian had drunk three bottles of tequila. Her eyes had half closed.

"Hiccup... Why? Why is this world so unfair?!" The situation was going the way Black Obsidian had expected. Normally, she wouldn't say these words, but now, she was showing her deepest feelings to Yun Xi.

Her shy and cute appearance combined to make a fatal attraction to Yun Xi.

Chapter 209: The Birth of the King

She felt as if she had returned to her childhood.

Only corpses were piled up on the inescapable battlefield.

There was no "justice" in this land. She had to struggle for survival and had no time to think about anything apart from this.

Beside her ears, she could still hear the evil god's roaring. It was extremely ruthless, mocking the whole downtrodden Dark Elf Race.

The chosen people of hell, fear, caves and traps will accompany you all your lives! The people in the soil, wake up and sign the contract with death!

Release the seal! Start singing and laughing! Offer your lives to me!

Come to the "Grand Banquet" I am holding. The evil god’s game was continuing. The despair was spreading.

Then, a red arrow flew to the evil god from the sky. It broke and shattered everything, it burned the earth and ignited the sky.

Ah, it's her! She is the justice I’ve been waiting for!

The flames from the heroine's arrow burned all the evils into ashes. She sacrificed herself and obtained the victory at last.

Black Obsidian hated herself, because she was too weak at that time. She could do nothing but watch the events unfold.

For that moment, she had understood, that for justice, power was necessary and for victory, one must pay a price!

The so-called heroes were the people who could sacrifice themselves for their justice.

Hence, she wanted to be such a hero. She wanted to protect her justice.

For this, she could be unscrupulous, as long as it was necessary.

She wanted to win. She wanted to obtain the victory more than anyone, because only the victor had a future.

...

"You~! You are really a bastard!" Black Obsidian said drunk. She shook the bottle in her hand and stared at Yun Xi with her bleary-eyed eyes.

"What's in your brains that would make you accept 107 brides?! It's so abnormal, and the world is abnormal too! Don't you feel strange?"

Yun Xi looked at the dark elf in embarrassment.

Indeed. It is abnormal, but... it is the will of the Great Stars! It seems that the Great Stars has a different understanding about "love" than me.

"You're drunk, Black Moon." Yun Xi stretched out his hand and touched the dark elf's hot forehead.

How many bottles of tequila had she drunk? A bottle of tequila could knock out a hulking hunk, and she had lined up a row of empty bottles in front of her.

"Not... not enough..." Black Obsidian stood up with a kind of stagger, then opened another bottle of tequila.

Her mind hadn't been completely messed up yet. She still knew what she was saying. If she couldn't make herself lose her sanity, it wouldn't be possible to accept this man's proposal.

"Goo!" As if she had given up on herself, Black Obsidian poured the liquid in the bottle into her mouth again.

"Ga!" As if the bottom line had finally been broken up, Black Obsidian felt dizzy, as if the world was twisting and rotating in her eyes.

She seemed pretty well lubricated. Yun Xi looked at the dark elf with a bitter smile.

"I want... to dance... I want to become the most beautiful, unique princess." Suddenly, Black Obsidian's eyes became soft and gentle. Throughout the chaos deep in her mind, she became a little girl again, without knowing anything about "slaughter" and "war".

Anyone could have such a dream. In this particular dream, the world was sunny and happy. As a bloody assassin living in the darkness, she had read a tale and had a fairytale dream. In the dream and her fairytale, the princess with glass slippers was dancing with the prince in a magnificent hall.

However, she refused to accept the absurd end of the fairytale, and only felt envious of the happy time the prince and the princess were dancing together. Even in the fairytale, and in her dream, she didn't have the extravagant hopes to have a happy end.

So, she only wanted to dance. Giving up everything and putting on the magical glass slippers and the gorgeous princess dress, she wanted to dance with her prince.

"Come here... come dance with me." Being immersed in her fantastic dream, Black Obsidian stretched out her hand to Yun Xi.

"As you wish, the most beautiful princess in the world." Yun Xi was also moved. Subconsciously, he held Black Moon’s hand.

There was no music, but there was a fantastic rhythm echoing between them.

"No... I'm not the princess. If I can, I prefer to become a prince to save the world." Black Obsidian confided.

Even in the dream, she had never hoped to be saved. She knew the ruthlessness of this reality, so she wouldn't rely on anyone.

Therefore, she wouldn't be in love, and wouldn't become anyone's plaything. She refused to become the best princess in the universe.

"Yeah. If it’s what you want, you can be the prince." Yun Xi could feel that the barrier between them was melting like ice.

She was shining at this moment and was very much brighter than anyone else. She was like a perfect gem that was born out of the darkness, dazzling and sparkling.

No matter how she thought about herself, a prince or a princess, her charm had made Yun Xi's heart beat faster.

Under the dim light, her lips looked sweet and irresistible, just like the scent Yun Xi remembered that night.

"Therefore, you play the princess! I won't accept to be proposed as a princess, but... if you are the princess and I'm the prince, it's okay." Being drunk in her dream, a "genius" idea suddenly popped out from Black Obsidian's mind.

Yes, the solution is right here. Oh, I'm really a genius! Since I don't want to be the princess, then I will become the prince!

"As you wish." Yun Xi looked at Black Moon gently. He didn't want to wake her up from her sweet fantasy.

"If you like, then, I, the princess, will propose to the great Prince Black Moon!"

"Yes, I'm not the princess. I want to be the king, to conquer all and dominate all, even if my crown will be stained with sin! All mankind, show your loyalty to your king!" Black Obsidian raised her right hand, then, a transparent sword appeared in her palm.

The sword was forged with her justice, her victory and her belief. It was a sword of justice and sin.

She named it "Black Moon". It was her lifetime of sin and her glorious crown.

It was either a sword or an archer. It was her special artifact.

"Yes, I present my loyalty to my king!" Yun Xi looked at Black Obsidian with his bleary-eyed eyes, then, he gently covered her mouth with his kiss.

Chapter 210: The 108th Bride

The moment Yun Xi kissed Black Moon’s soft lips, the Star System in his mind erupted with brilliant lights again.

His 108th bride was different from the first 107 brides, because she had become a strong hero-ranked woman.

No, it wasn't the hero ranked field power that her Water God's Mask had granted her. She was already a real hero. Especially after confirming her belief and persistence.

After walking across endless battlefields, and being stained with blood, for the justice in her heart. Black Obsidian finally achieved her dream.

Become a hero!

She had finally surpassed the limit of her flesh and blood. Stepping on the road leading to immortality.

Black Obsidian wouldn't give up hope until the very last moment and would always do her best to find the slimmest chance of survival from countless dead ends.

Black Obsidian was such a hero. Even though she had been drunk, she still didn't dream to be a princess. Compared to being a princess to be saved, she preferred to be the prince to save everyone else.

Yun Xi respected and responded to her hopes. He proposed to her, not as a prince but as a princess.

Yun Xi gently kissed her, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. His kiss was continuous and soft, arousing the very deepest memory in Black Obsidian's heart.

She had always attempted to forget that memory, but her body had remembered it firmly. Gradually, she relaxed and opened her mouth, relinquishing to Yun Xi's probing tongue.

His tongue explored her small mouth and finally found her tongue in this lubricious world. Then, they forgot everything and drunkenly played with each other's tongue. This sweet, soft feeling was so comfortable, it was as if their bodies were melting.

"Puff..." After this fairly intense kiss, Black Moon took a deep breath and looked at Yun Xi with her drunken eyes.

"My... princess..." Black Moon said.

"If that is your wish, my prince." breathed Yun Xi.

Their genders and characters seemed to be exchanged at this moment, but they were both inebriated, so they didn't think that it was so strange.

This was the prince and the princess's dance party. Holding each other's hands, they had forgotten everything.

"More... I need more." Black Moon’s whisper was sweet and seductive.

"As you wish." Yun Xi lowered his head and kissed her again.

This was a sweet and soft kiss, and it would be a very, very long night.

The young girl had taken off her shell and exposed her most supple part, becoming a girl who dreamed to be a "prince".

And the young boy had also responded to her as the "princess", wisely offering her a sweet dream as the "prince".

Just like the fountains all over the city, this night was filled with bubbling happiness.

Yun Xi could feel the acrid taste of tequila in his mouth. It seemed like Black Moon was pouring the tequila into his mouth with her mouth. Just before Yun Xi fell into a deep sleep due to drunkenness, he vaguely heard a familiar spell.

"Trace... on..."

...

"Oww!" Yun Xi, feeling that his head was swollen and so painful that he couldn't even maintain the Water Mist Field around him.

"Are you awake? Congratulations, you have obtained the strongest bride." Yun Que's voice suddenly reverberated inside of Yun Xi's ears.

Yun Xi wasn't sure about if it was an illusion, but... Yun Que's voice sounded much colder today, as if he was reluctantly talking to a filthy thing.

"She... aren't you the person who introduced her to me?" Yun Xi shook his head carefully and tried to remember what happened last night.

Black Moon’s passion still remained between his lips. He still remembered her cold mouth. He would never feel tired if he were to repeat the process of making it hot again!

But, what had happened next? Yun Xi could vaguely remember that he held her in his arms, then that strange feeling appeared again. He failed to confirm if it was a dream or reality. Did we cross that last boundary, or was it just another illusion? Yun Xi didn't know, but his body felt very comfortable, as if he just tasted the most wonderful fruit last night.

"Yes... I let her walk into your tiger-like mouth and become your victim," Yun Que said reluctantly, as if he were punishing himself.

Even if it was for victory, that price was too high.

This guy didn't warn me that his brides must be willing to marry him! If I had known that earlier, I would have spent more time working out a plan... but, the result probably wouldn't change. Yun Que sighed.

Yun Hai was the sole owner of the White Emperor Mask, and so, the only one who had the potential to defeat Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword. As long as this fact didn't change, she had to sacrifice herself, no matter how unreasonable the whole event was.

Last night, she made herself drunk, so that she could deceive herself into accomplishing that "impossible quest".

Even now, she had no interest in remembering what had happened last night, and what despicable method that bastard had used to deceive her into accepting his proposal.

She had buried this memory in her deep subconsciousness.

She was drunk at that time, so she wasn't herself. She was just an innocent little girl who was drunk and cheated last night.

She couldn’t accept it, even after she found that last night, she had entered the fourth rank without any warning.

It should have been a memorable time in her life, but due to the things that happened last night, it had become an indelible blot staining her life.

Therefore, she hated this man all the more.

No one could be more contemptible than this man in this world!

Chapter 211: Her Odour

Why? How could this man propose to 108 girls without hesitation?

He is just a bastard who luckily obtained the Water God's favour. Apart from this, he is just a lazy idiot. Even though his power could change the entire world, he still doesn't know to use it.

If I had his power, I would have already... Yun Que shook her head. She didn't want to waste her time on thinking about the things that wouldn't happen.

She was already an adult now. She had known the brutality of this existence. She knew the eternal rule in the universe of "no pain, no gain".

Not everyone had the good fortune to be loved by a god.

"Even the infinite love from millions of people, it wouldn’t be more than the love you have granted to him. You have the whole world, but you only love this boy. Even though the world would end in misfortune, you would only offer the boy honour and hope," Yun Que chanted. It was the dialogue from a famous opera in Western God's Domain, but it was also fit for their current situation. She knows just how wide the gap between "Yun Hai" and her really was.

Therefore, sacrifice is necessary.

No matter what shameful things she had done last night, she had achieved her final goal in the end. Even though she couldn't remember the whole event. She still washed her mouth and body immediately after she opened her eyes this morning.

What had she seen and what had she believed? What made her agree to this bastard's proposal?

Submersing in an undue sense of guiltiness, Yun Que blamed herself. Why would I agree to this man's prerequisite, and what had he done to me? She thought with a shudder.

Nothing in the world could make her feel more thrilled, unless it was the "thing" she had never seen before.

She felt nervous and anxious, because she found that there was an unknown “self” lurking in her body. That "self" must be a slutty girl who was always immersed in desire and happiness, otherwise, she didn't think that she would agree to that bastard's proposal due to "love".

"I’m Sorry, I was too rude to that girl last night," said Yun Xi. Unlike Yun Que, who had subconsciously forgotten the things that had happened last night, Yun Xi could remember all the details that was apart from the dreamy feeling.

To Yun Que, it was a painful and disturbing night, which was much worse than the experience in the valley. At the least, she had no choice in the valley. But this time, she was willing to let down her defenses and deceive herself and did the things she would never want to remember.

To Yun Xi, it was a fantastic, stimulating night.

The mysterious, beautiful Black Moon gave herself to him after getting drunk, exposing her innocent and supple side in front of him.

Her dream was different from all the girls he had seen. Even Yun Xi's childhood sweetheart, Hua Huo, didn't have such a dream.

This girl was strong and independent, because she did not and would not ever rely on anyone. Compared to being the princess to be saved, she preferred to be the prince to save the princess.

No matter where she was from or what race she was, since she had such a belief, she would undoubtedly have a life that was as free as the wind. The black artifact Yun Xi had seen last night was the crystallization of her belief and the assurance of her life.

"Black Moon... is a good girl." Yun Xi didn't feel any regret proposing to her, because she was really mysterious, beautiful, and charming.

Even compared to Hua Huo, Milei, Ye Li and El'phyllis, her mysterious charm was still unique.

"Thank you, Yun Que. Your information was right. She is entitled to be my Mist Soul Army’s commander. Can I see her again?" Yun Xi looked at Yun Que with expectation.

Waiting for Yun Que’s answer, Yun Xi couldn't stop his heart from beating faster.

"No, you won't ever see her again. Never!" Yun Que said decisively.

What a bad joke! I have paid so much, and you still want more... As expected, you are just a scumbag!

If it wasn't for the Water God's quest and this world's future, I would never stay beside such a man.

Why him? Why did you choose him? The great Water God, you must be mistaken or something!

"Oh... I see..." Yun Xi sighed. He had expected it.

The encounter with her was so abrupt, as if the threads of their fates just accidentally crossed together.

Before last night, he had never expected that he would meet her again, especially in the Water God's world, and signed the special contract with her.

"But, as long as we are still alive, someday we will meet again, isn't that right?" Yun Xi smiled. He had firmly remembered Black Moon's odour and appearance in his heart. If they encountered each other again, he wouldn't miss her.

"No, I don't think so. You'd just bring disaster to her," Yun Que retorted. She smashed Yun Xi's dream without mercy.

You won't meet "her" again!

After I accomplish the Water God’s quest, I will stay away from you as far away as East is from the West!

Every second I stay beside you is just a kind of torture.

You are my last choice for a mate in the universe to me!

"Hum? Did you wear perfume?" Yun Xi sniffed. He smelled a strange fragrance from Yun Que's body.

"It's not perfume! No!" Yun Que spluttered.

As expected, I hate this man! I hate him even more than Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword!

Chapter 212: The Water Mist Field Is Expanding!

"You bastard, go on out and deceive the other innocent girls of this world!" Yun Que said in anger. As Yun Xi looked at him in confusion, he kicked open the wooden door and ran away.

"That bastard! I have washed myself three times and I can still smell his odour on my body. Disgusting!" Yun Que decided to wash herself ten more times today to wash off his damn odour.

She would never forget this disgrace!

"Why was he so angry? He was the person who introduced Black Moon to me!" Yun Xi wondered. Looking in the direction where Yun Que disappeared, he realized that Yun Que was really upset at seeing him today.

Maybe Yun Que is too upright and honest. Yun Xi thought. Since Yun Que didn't know of my strange Side Quest Four, "To love, Starchild!", it's excusable for Yun Que to think that "Yun Hai" was a scumbag.

In fact, Yun Xi also thought that he shouldn't propose to so many girls. It really sucks. But... there was no way that the Stars would let him stop!

This was the only way the Stars had pointed out for him to save this world!

Browsing the Star System in his mind, Yun Xi sighed again.

There were two main quests. One was to help the Water God and the other was to help the Sky Sword. Because he had been chosen to be the Water God's Apostle, the quest of "becoming the Sky Sword's subordinate" had turned grey.

"Optional Side Quest One: Girl Fights Evil Dragon. A brave girl is looking for an evil dragon! You can choose this side mission after you join human camp."

Because Yun Xi had joined the Water God's camp, this side quest had become non-selectable. However, Yun Xi knew that it hinted that Hua Huo and the twin witches were fighting against an evil dragon somewhere.

"Optional Side Quest Two: The Apostle's Call. A great Apostle has reached this world. Swear your loyalty to her and become a Dragon God's subordinate! You can choose this side quest after you join Water God's camp."

This side quest was still vague, because Yun Xi hadn't known who the Apostle was.

"Optional Side Quest Three: The Truth of the Mist. The people on the island are living in a world that is surrounded by endless mist. Go find the secret and expose the truth!"

The current situation of this side quest is: You have finished the first phase of the Side Quest Three and have obtained the White Emperor Mask's power. Go inside the mist and find the strongest monster: Mist Demon!

To Yun Xi, the Side Quest Three was most likely to be achieved in a very short time.

"Optional Side Quest Four: To Love, Starchild! Life is too short, just enjoy it! Propose to as many girls as possible! After obtaining their marriage contracts, you can have the girls' power. You are never alone!"

It seemed to be a quest that was impossible to be achieved, but Yun Xi had made great progress on this. Because it didn't limit the number of Yun Xi's brides, so Yun Que could help Yun Xi make the "Expansion Plan of A Million Brides" work.

"Secret Quest: ???, This will be available after you have finished three side quests."

It seemed that this quest was lacking information, but... if Yun Xi had had a guess. It was very likely that this quest was about Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword.

"Reading the quests again, I suddenly find that they are really difficult!" Yun Xi had a feeling that he had just taken the first step in a long march, and the first step was accomplished completely due to his 108 brides.

"Let me test how strong I am now." Yun Xi took a deep breath as the Water Mist spread around him.

Black Moon was the first hero ranked bride in his Mist Soul Army, and the power from her had surpassed all the other 107 brides combined. Naturally, she was the most important one as the core of his Mist Soul Army.

For the first time, Yun Xi obtained tremendous power from a hero ranked person. His powers were bolstered.

The first was his visual field. In the past, he could vaguely see the things within the range of ten kilometres with the help of his Water Mist Field. And now, he just stood on the roof and could see the bricks ten kilometres aways with his naked eyes.

"Is this the so-called 'Clairvoyance'?" Looking around, Yun Xi's pupils contracted. Instantly, he had firmly remembered the city’s terrain in his brain.

He had a photographic memory now, it wasn't his talent, but a natural ability he had obtained after his mind had been strengthened countless times. It was an ability that was close to the limit of mortals, the ability only the best archers could have.

Not only that, but his breathing and heartbeat had been adjusted spontaneously also.

It wasn't a secret breathing method like what he had learned from Hua Huo, but a talent learned from countless battles, which had become a natural state of his body.

"Fog up!" Yun Xi raised his right hand. Under his control, the water mist sublimated and arose from the fountains and streams and covered the whole city.

Instantly, Caelian has become a City of Mist. Some girls of the aquatic races had risen up and bathed in the fountains and streams. Now they cheered with happiness.

Yun Xi's Water Mist Field contained a trace of the Water God's power, which was very good for these, the Water God's people's bodies. No wonder that they had an extremely happy look on their faces.

Ten kilometres, twenty kilometres... finally, Yun Xi's Water Mist Field had covered the area in the range of fifty kilometres, covering half of the city inside it.

"Five times larger than before?" Yun Xi mumbled. No wonder Yun Que recommended Black Moon to him. She was surely the strongest one amongst all the girls in his Mist Soul Army.

Yun Xi thought, and in that very moment, Black Moon's Mist Soul had appeared beside him.

She was confident and strong, mysterious and beautiful. After condensing from the mist, she held the black sword in her hand, standing beside Yun Xi like a prince.

Chapter 213: Three Targets

"We meet again..." Looking at the girl in front of him, although Yun Xi knew that it was just a shell formed by mist, he still immersed himself in her dangerous and mysterious aura.

She was different from all the other Mist Souls, because she had a strong determination in her eyes, as if nothing in the world could shake her will.

Yun Xi's heart was beating fast. Unfortunately, she wasn't real. Mist Souls were just a simulation of the real people. It just reflected a part of her aura, not her whole person.

After all, his White Emperor Mask wasn't the almighty.

Where were you from? And why did you come to me?

You wanted to become a prince. Did you get your wish?

Yun Xi stretched out his hand and touched the Mist Soul.

He felt cold on his fingers. It was natural, because the Mist Soul was just an agglomeration of water. This was Mist Soul's unalterable nature, and the reason why they couldn't die.

After all, they were only an army taking the place of real people.

"What am I looking forward to..." Yun Xi couldn't help laughing for his foolish enthusiasm to a mist shape of Black Moon.

Yes, she didn't belong to him. Even though she had agreed to his proposal, Black Moon wasn't his lover.

She was like the cloud in the sky, which could be seen but could never be touched.

The time spent with her, was happy and memorable. However, she still refused to become his lover. Unlike the Starwing Knights girls, she was independent and free.

"You must be carrying a very heavy fate on your back..." Black Moon didn't tell him anything new, but Yun Xi could see it in her eyes.

Her eyes were calm and cold, so beautiful and so dangerous. She must have experienced countless fights.

He had been lured by her eyes, and his heart had been overthrown by her. He was having a sweet dream and didn't want to wake up.

"Then, let's fight together!" After realizing that the Mist Soul wasn't really her, Yun Xi immediately adjusted his attitude with his searing eyes.

Even though they couldn't be a couple, at the least, he had the Mist Soul as the proof of their love.

"Shuffle!" The Mist Soul held the black sword's blade up towards the front with an indifferent look.

Undoubtedly, under Yun Xi's permission, she had become the Mist Soul Army's commander and achieved her goal.

A black flower was blooming in Yun Xi's garden!

Yun Xi didn't know the reason, and one thing he was sure about, that they had never cooperated with each other before. But he could naturally understand the Mist Soul's thinking. As the strongest Mist Soul, she not only had a great executive ability but also could act alone as well.

"You take them to defend the south, north and western areas, and I will go to the eastern coastline, visiting the Lamia Race." Yun Xi assigned the task in an orderly manner.

Yun Que's Expansion Plan seemed to be imprudent, but it really was built on facts.

Apart from the mysterious dark elf Black Moon, who had become his Mist Soul Army's commander, the remaining three goals were all very important, even to the whole of Water God's world.

On Yun Que's list, the second, the third and the fourth person all had the same identity: the Water God's High Priestess.

It wasn't because of their influence in the world. The sequence was decided based on their power.

The Lamia Queen was the queen of sea demons and the oldest hero ranked being in the Water God's world. Undoubtedly, she was the strongest one amongst the three High Priestesses, so she could be recorded as the second on Yun Que's list.

The Mermaid Queen was the third, and the Caelian Queen, the highest ranking human in the Water God's world, was the fourth.

Yes, Yun Que had already written them on the list a long time ago. To her plan, the power from the three High Priestesses was indispensable.

"Since you're so good at deceiving girls into marrying you, then try your best to capture the three High Priestesses' hearts with the fastest possible speed. Remember, they are very important to my plan. No matter whether they have married or not, you must let them join your Mist Soul Army!"

Looking at Yun Que's familiar handwriting on the business plan, Yun Xi twisted his mouth.

Yun Que, you really misunderstand me! I have never beguiled any girl into marrying me!

But... Yun Que was also right. If he wanted to defeat Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword, then he needed to strengthen his Mist Soul Army to its and his limit. For this, the three High Priestesses were really necessary.

"Three hero ranked High Priestesses. With them, my Mist Soul Army can finally become fully operational. But... I don't know any of them. How can I propose to them?" Looking at the scarce information Yun Que had collected for him, Yun Xi had no ideas in his mind.

The three High Priestesses were too exalted. Naturally, Yun Que couldn't find sufficient information about them by any ordinary method.

Now, Yun Xi was reading the Lamia Queen's information again and again.

"The Lamia Queen is the leader of the Lamia Race. She is thousands of years old and has had hundreds of descendants. She is the strongest Lamia in the Lamia Race's history."

"Marriage status: unknown, because no one has witnessed any male Lamias."

"Her dating experience should be very rich, after all, she has hundreds of descendants."

"Anyway, go ahead and have faith in yourself! No matter whether she is a queen or a wife, it shouldn't be a problem to you!"

Chapter 214: Lamia's Game

On the seashore not far away from Caelian, Yun Xi was sitting on the reef and thinking.

Splash! Splash! Sea waves splashed on the reefs.

"Ah ha ha ha ha!" About a hundred metres away from Yun Xi, a dozen Lamia girls were playing.

However, their game was different from human games.

A one meter blue water ball rotated, rose and fell in the sea with an ear-piercing whistle. It was about half a ton in weight, causing a series of circular ripples everytime it rolled.

These Lamia girls were playing with this frightful water ball with their screw like tails, having an intense competition.

If ordinary people saw this scene, they would be frightened into a cold sweat, because the water ball’s weight was over half a ton. If ordinary people got hit by it, they would undoubtedly be severely injured. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to consider it as a kind of "magical weapon".

However, these Lamias could wrap and pat this frightful water ball with their tails at their command. To them, it was just a method used to practice their control force.

Lamias had a strong tail, enduring physique, and a powerful bloodline. Their strength was even stronger than the green hippo. No wonder that they were called Sea Demons.

After observing for a while, Yun Xi thought that he knew the reason why the people in Caelian didn't like to get close to the Lamia Race.

Compared to the Mermaid girls, who had excellent talent for arts and were approachable, the Lamias looked strange and their strength was very dangerous to humans.

It was said that their method of showing their love was to coil around their lovers with their screw like tails, but their tails were so strong that they could even strangle a hippo easily! Imagine it: an ordinary person was wrapped up by their tail because they wanted to show their love... that feeling of dread and despair could scare away anybody.

The gap between the Lamia Race and mankind was just too wide. Suppose, if a Lamia girl just sneezed, then the person that was coiled in her tail would’ve been squeezed to death.

However, from what Yun Xi had seen, such a thing wasn't very likely to happen.

The Lamias could control the water ball easily. It showed that they had confidence in controlling their strength.

They were born with such a tenacious strength! Under the tutelage of the older Lamias, they learned how to control their strength through games.

Their long tails looked dreadful to humans, but to themselves, their long tails were the most important battle organs.

They could even move at high speed on the ground with their tails, and their explosive force was also higher than that of a human's ultimate.

"What a strong race!" Yun Xi exclaimed.

No wonder that Yun Que instructed him to propose to the Lamia Queen. The Lamia Race could become a strong force to his Mist Soul Army.

However, Yun Xi felt a bit awkward now, because he couldn't find any chance to intervene into the Lamia girls' game.

Although there were already many dozens of Lamias that had arrived at Caelian, they rarely talked to humans.

They formed several small parties and swam in the streams of the city, exploring around this old Water God city with curiosity.

Because the Lamia Queen was one of the High Priestesses, humans couldn't refuse them to enter the city, however, they also didn't know how to deal with these appalling, half human half snake creatures, so they could only pretend that these Lamias did not exist.

The Lamias didn't know how to get along with other intelligent species too. Occasionally, they would talk to the girls from the Mermaid Race, but most of the time, they wandered around the city alone.

Yun Xi had searched half of the city, and finally found them on the eastern seashore. He didn't expect that they would not live in the magnificent palaces, but preferred to live in the dark caves besides the sea.

Yun Xi waited in front of the cave for half an hour, then, he saw the Lamias swimming out of the cave. In the lead was several old Lamias, they played a game of water ball on the sea to practice for themselves.

The game’s rule was simple: the playground was a narrow rectangle that was about one kilometre long. The Lamia girls were divided into two teams, and the goal was to shoot the water ball into the other team's goal area.

They could beat and bump their opponents with their tails, but couldn't use their hands. No matter what method they were using, as long as they could shoot the water ball into the other team's goal area, their team would get a point.

The competition was intense, because the Lamias were striving with all their might for the win. They had used various hitting skills with their tails, which was really an eye opening experience to Yun Xi.

"Boom!" Occasionally, such a dead sound would echo through the playground. It was the strongest blow from the strongest Lamias. Everytime such a sound appeared, it would mean that one team had scored a point again.

Without using any magic, they simply patted the water ball with their tails. Even so, the water ball had been accelerated to a speed that could smash any human in front of it into minced meat.

"Is it a kind of military manoeuvres?" Looking at them, Yun Xi's forehead was covered with sweat.

If they shot such a water ball on the battlefield, it would undoubtedly plough a long, deep gouge in the ground.

"No. They are just playing, and the water ball is just for training. When we are on the battlefield, we would normally squeeze the water ball ten times tighter than the training water ball." Yun Xi heard a gentle voice besides his ear, and then, he felt that a cold, flexible thing had wrapped around his waist.

Chapter 215: His Identity was Revealed

The long, screw like tail wrapped around Yun Xi's waist and felt him with curiosity, making Yun Xi find himself both tickled and annoyed.

He didn't expect that he would meet a Lamia in this situation, even though this was what he wanted.

Before he had wasted any effort, the Lamia had come to him herself in this "cordial" method, which could frighten ordinary people to death.

"Hey, big brother, you smell good. What's your race?" This Lamia was the youngest amongst all the Lamias that had arrived at Caelian.

Compared to the older Lamias, whose tails were about six or seven metres, her tail was only about three metres, therefore, she couldn't join her sisters' water ball practice, and could only play with a half a metre water ball alone.

When she was playing with the water ball, she found something strange amongst the mist on the reefs.

As the youngest, she was the last one who had seen the "Sailing Jellyfishes", who were known as the Lamia Race's great mothers. The memory about sailing jellyfishes was still vivid in her mind, so she could naturally feel the sailing jellyfish like aura emanating from the "creature" in the mist.

Of course, if the other Lamias had touched the mist, they would notice it also.

After all, sailing jellyfishes were the Lamia's great mothers, because almost all the Lamias was born with a part of the sailing jellyfish's gene. In fact, the Lamias weren't turning a blind eye to Yun Xi, but his mist had deceived all the girls' eyes.

If this young Lamia hadn’t come to the reefs to play water ball and noticed the mist due to this, Yun Xi wouldn't have been found by the Lamias even after a day.

Because his body was covered by the water mist, the young Lamia couldn't see Yun Xi's appearance with her eyes, so she coiled around him with her tail and touched his body with it.

"This is your hand, and this is your leg. Strange, you are not a deep sea octopus nor a shellfish. Who are you, big brother?" Wrapping around Yun Xi’s waist with her tail, the girl asked Yun Xi in confusion.

Deep sea races often covered their bodies in mist when they went onto land, so the young girl thought that Yun Xi could be a deep sea demon. This was also the reason why Yun Xi could cover himself in mist when he was walking on the street, because people thought that he was a deep sea demon too.

"Are you a Mermaid? But big brother, you don't have a tail!" The young Lamia remembered and couldn't think of any deep sea race that was like Yun Xi.

In order to ascertain Yun Xi's true face, she coiled Yun Xi in her tail tightly and moved herself around to face him.

"Ok, I will show myself!" Yun Xi surrendered. It seemed that he couldn't keep hiding.

Fortunately, he was going to talk to the Lamias from the beginning.

Yun Xi dispelled his Water Mist Field and showed his face to the young girl.

"Your face... I have never seen such beautiful horns..." Looking at Yun Xi's silver mask in surprise, the young Lamia could sense the special energy in the silver horns on Yun Xi's mask.

This was the first time, she was so close to the Water God's power. The god power in the horns was even heavier than the Lamia's great mothers, the "Sailing Jellyfishes".

"Big brother, you must be from one of the strongest illusory magic sea races." The young girl looked at Yun Xi with her eyes sparkling.

As the youngest Lamia, she hadn't touched anything with such a strong “Sea Demon” feeling before. It was said that there were some rare races living in the deepest seas, who had the ability to change their shapes at will.

"No, I'm not a sea demon, and they are not my horns. Look, it's just a mask." Yun Xi told the young girl to touch his silver mask.

"It's beautiful, and cold. Is it part of you?" The young Lamia licked Yun Xi's mask with her tongue, then his cheek and ear.

Compared to “coiling somebody in their tails”, which was too intimate as an etiquette, licking each other's ear was far more intimate an etiquette to Lamias.

"It was a gift from the great Water God." Yun Xi looked at the young girl. Obviously, compared to the Lamias that were playing the water ball, she was still young in both mind and body. Even so, she still had the Lamia Race's most striking features: enchanting eyes, vertical pupils and flexible body.

Coiling around Yun Xi's body with her tail, she could do it as naturally as breathing.

In close contact with the girl, Yun Xi could feel the wonderful touch of her body. Her body was so soft as if she didn't have bones, which was really disturbing to Yun Xi's mind.

"A gift from the great Water God? Big brother, can you be that man?" The young girl’s pupils contracted. Due to nervousness, her tail coiled around Yun Xi's waist tightly.

If Yun Xi was an ordinary person, he would have been squeezed to death.

Yes, the silver mask, a legendary mask which contains the great Water God's power.

Its name is the "White Emperor", and only the highest Apostle who is beloved by the Water God can hold it.

He is that Apostle!

"Yes, I'm the Apostle," Yun Xi said frankly.

Chapter 216: A Small Promise

"Big brother, you are... that... that..." Maybe the young Lamia was too excited, the squeezing of her tail had almost become two times stronger.

Fortunately, Yun Xi's body had been enhanced by the power from his 108 brides and was being protected by the Water Mist Field, so he didn't get hurt.

"Yes, I am... Can you let go of me..." Yun Xi literally understood why humans couldn't fall in love with the Lamias.

No human whose rank was below the hero rank could withstand the Lamia's strong tail. If an ordinary person fell in love with a girl of the Lamia Race, the only end for that person was being squeezed to death!

Besides, the Lamia Race had the Snake Demon Bloodline, which meant that their copulation time was extremely long.

It was said that snakes could take 12 hours to accomplish a mating without sleep or rest during the period. Obviously, it was impossible to any normal human.

"Oh, you really are the Apostle!" The young girl didn't release him but coiled around his waist with a much stronger force.

Humans often hold their lovers tightly to show their love. When it came to the Lamias, when they got excited, they would coil around their lovers tightly with their tails.

At this moment, Yun Xi was really feeling the young girl’s enthusiasm.

"Well, hello, my name is Feya, Lamia Gorgon Feya. I'm a hundred years old this year, the youngest child of the Lamia Race. My height is six metres, and my breast size is... well, my breasts are not big but are still developing! I like to play water ball and hunt squid. I don't know if I can make you feel satisfied, but... I want to be your bride!" The young Lamia said with a red face.

"I want to have twenty children, so that they can form two teams to play the water ball game. Don't underestimate me, because I'm really good at playing water ball! You can ask my sisters about it. Although I can’t join them because I'm too small, but they all call me 'once-in-1000-years genius'! They like listening to my analysis about tactics."

After learning Yun Xi's real identity, the young girl, Feya, became enthusiastic.

She was the boldest and most radical girl amongst all the Lamias that had arrived at Caelian. She was still young, so she hadn't become prejudiced to mankind. She was still full of curiosity for everything.

Of course, "have a baby" was one of the things she was curious about. As the youngest, she still remembered her surrogate mother, a "sailing jellyfish".

After sailing jellyfishes disappeared in the deep sea for no reason, she was the most upset.

According to the Lamia’s tradition, she shouldn't come onto the ground and appear in front of the public, because she was only a hundred years old. Compared to the long life she would have, she was still a baby who needed to be protected by sailing jellyfishes.

But, after the last sailing jellyfish disappeared, she had to return to the Lamia’s and be brought up by her sisters.

Because she had lost her great mother, the "sailing jellyfish", she was eager to "have a baby" to get rid of the feeling called "loneliness". She was only a hundred years old. She thought that if she had a baby, she would be able to play with her child.

The Lamia Race didn't have any children apart from her, therefore, no one played with her all those years. All of the Lamia Race was in a state of anxiety. After all, without the help from sailing jellyfishes, they couldn't produce any descendants.

In theory, they could produce offspring if they could find strong, willing sea demons and obtain their genes, but, the strong sea demons had also disappeared together with the sailing jellyfishes. No one had ever seen one of them in the last dozens of years.

"Err... Feya, right? You are still young. You don't need to consider such a thing so early." Yun Xi looked at Feya, who was so innocent that she displayed all her thinking on her face.

At any rate, I won't marry such a child!

Even Yun Que's insane expansion plan didn't calculate for a child!

A 100 year old human was old enough, but for the Lamia Race, a 100 year old Lamia was still a toddler, which could be proved by the fact that she wasn't allowed to join in the water ball game.

She can't be my bride!

"Ooo... I'm a hundred years old! I'm not too young! I can have my babies!" Feya threw out her chest in front of Yun Xi, as if she was trying to prove something.

"... No! You are too young!" Yun Xi refused her and moved his eyes away. It would become a crime if he married her!

Even though he needed as many fiances as he could get, but... Feya wasn't on his list.

However, if it was the Lamia Queen... Yun Xi didn't know if he could control himself.

"Whoooh! Everyone tells me! I'm not too young! I'm not too small! I will grow up very soon! I'm a genius! A real genius!" Feya cried.

I can't marry him because I'm only a hundred years old? No! Our race doesn't have any rule to prevent puppy love! This is so unreasonable!

"Calm down, calm down. Don't cry." Looking at little Feya's crying face, Yun Xi had no idea what to do with his hands and feet.

Sigh, at the least, I should give her some hope.

"How about this? I will marry you after you become a good woman. Don’t you think that's good?"

"Really?! Can I?!" Feya looked at Yun Xi in surprise.

"Yes, it's a promise," Yun Xi said and nodded. Anyway, the Lamia Race had a very long life. After she became a good woman, hundreds of years should have passed.

Chapter 217: The Excited Lamias

"Then, we need to take an oath." Feya stretched out her finger, seemingly she was going to draw a hook with Yun Xi.

"En... Ah?" Yun Xi stretched out his hand. Feya held his hand tightly and gently bit his ear with her small, white teeth.

Yun Xi felt a slight ache, then he touched the bite mark on his ear.

"Hmm, the oath has been signed, big brother." Feya looked at Yun Xi with a happy smile.

This ceremony of the Lamias was really strange.

To Lamias, this was a ceremony for love: exchanging the Lamia's venom in her teeth and her lover's blood in his body. It represented the oath of "Never to be Separated ".

Human moral principles meant nothing to Lamias. The exchange of bodily fluids was much more suitable than any oath in their hearts.

"Is it okay?" Yun Xi stroked his ear with curiosity. He only felt a slight ache with no side effects, as if he was just being gently licked.

"Yes. I’m satisfied." Feya smiled happily.

The bite was just a small incident to Yun Xi, but to her and even the whole Lamia Race, it was a giant leap.

"Sisters! Sisters!" Feya happily danced around Yun Xi. She called to the Lamias who were playing the water ball game in a pleasant tone.

The Lamias were resting at half time. Just in time, they noticed Feya's call.

"What happened, little Feya?"

"Hmm? What's this mist? Anything good inside it?"

"You look happy. It seems like good things are happening to you, Feya."

Feya's long tail coiled, moving around to show her nimble and charming body. It was a dance called "The Dance of Enchantment", an extempore dance the Lamias would dance when they were in an extremely good mood.

"Come on, come on!" Feya's screw like tail coiled around Yun Xi's waist again.

"Ok, don’t push me!" Yun Xi smiled bitterly. He thought that he should show himself now.

After having a really close encounter with a Lamia, he realized that there were many mistakes in the information Yun Que had offered him.

The information said that Lamias were all snake like demons, who were extremely dangerous and horrifying. They were strong, arrogant and unforgiving. Once they thought that you were an enemy, they wouldn't give up before you had been torn into pieces.

Humans and the Lamias were all the Water God's people, but humans refused to accept the Lamias and to live together with them.

For a longest time, it had become a normal prejudice amongst humans. However, the Lamias were all very strong, therefore, humans could do nothing to them and could only avoid staying together with them.

That being said, what Yun Xi had seen was a healthy, energetic race. Even the youngest liked to practice every day.

They were not demons who only liked moist and dark caves. They also liked to play under the sun and show their charms to the public.

Maybe their special greeting was frightening to humans, but they didn't mean to do any harm.

Coiling around their friend with their tails was just their way of saying hello.

"Dispel." Yun Xi dispelled all the mist around him and walked to the Lamias.

"Look, he is the Apostle! The Apostle our queen mentioned before!" Feya was still tightly coiled around Yun Xi's waist as she waved her hands to her sisters.

Then, the reaction of the Lamias' was really an eye opening experience for Yun Xi.

At first, they fell into a shocked silence. They looked astonished and amazed and was at a loss for what to do.

After a while, a Lamia exclaimed, "Oh, is he that... THAT... MAN?"

"I can't be mistaken. I can feel the great Water God's power from the mist and his silver mask!"

"Wait, wait, why didn't we receive a notice?"

It's strange. Why are they so panicked? Yun Xi felt puzzled. Do I look strange?

Soon afterwards, he knew the reason.

"No! This is too sudden... I... I haven't put on my most beautiful jewelry!"

"Whoa! Whoa! Don't look over here! My shell necklace, where is my shell necklace?"

"Go, go, go!"

Quickly, the Lamias swam away. They scrambled back into the cave, overturning their trunks and boxes.

"Don't take my jewelry, sister!"

"Don't be silly, we bought it together. First come first served."

"Where is my ivory comb?"

"Oh god, who stole my pearl powder?"

"Be quick, don't keep him waiting."

Yun Xi looked at the dark cave with a dumbfounded look. He couldn’t imagine what was happening inside it.

"Sisters are very happy. They have prepared for this moment for a long time." Feya covered her mouth and smiled.

Her sisters were dressing themselves up, and she had obtained the Apostle's pledge of love. She was really proud of herself because she got it first.

"Wait, I'm the first."

"No, it's me!"

"Stop quarrelling, let's battle it out!"

"Boom!" After several fearful explosive sounds, the Lamias finally came out of the cave.

However, there were several Lamias in the first line looking flustered. It seemed that they had a fierce battle before coming out, so that they could find their position in the first line.

"Hello, great Water God's Apostle. We are Lamias. We came to Caelian in response to your wish."

According to what Yun Xi had seen, the leader of the Lamias was the strongest in the water ball game.

Compared to Feya, who was still innocent and naive, apparently, the leader understood human etiquette. However, her tail was twirling behind her back, which had exposed the true titillation she was feeling.

Not only was it just her. All the Lamias were looking at Yun Xi with curiosity and excitement. They could clearly feel the Water God's power from his White Emperor Mask.

Chapter 218: Jealousy

"Hello... as you see, I'm the Apostle." As the Lamias looked at him, Yun Xi couldn't stop his heart from beating faster.

He felt nervous, because they were not just some village girls nor the Starwing Knights girls. Instead, Lamias were one of the strongest races in this world.

Although none of these girls were at the hero rank, they were still far stronger than most living beings in this world. Lamias are a race that is at the top of the food chain in this world. Yun Xi thought that even the green hippo couldn't withstand a single blow from them, because their screw like muscular tails could play with the half a ton water ball as a toy.

This was who the Overlords of the deep sea were, the Lamia Race.

"Oh! He is really that man!"

"He speaks! He speaks! We're so lucky!"

"Am I dreaming?"

The girls' excitement was running high. Their eyes were much more pure than any human girls Yun Xi had met, with sparkling lights shining in their vertical pupils.

They look... very happy?

"I wouldn’t have guessed it. Sisters, you are behaving very badly!" Feya tittered. Unintentionally, her tail coiled around Yun Xi's waist much tighter.

"Feya, let go of the Apostle. You’re being impolite."

"Yes, didn't our queen tell us that we shouldn't coil around humans so casually? Humans would feel scared due to this, so it's impolite."

"Feya, come back. I have some tasty treats for you."

The Lamias noticed the compromising position between Feya and Yun Xi, as a jealous expression came upon their faces.

Why? Feya was the youngest. How had she become the first?

"Humph. My Sisters are all liars!" Feya exposed her teeth at her sisters mischievously. She made a face at them and announced proudly, "I and the Apostle have performed ‘the ritual’ and have had 'those relations' too!"

The Lamias were all flabbergasted. They all looked at her with a look of total disbelief.

No, it can't be true!

That was what all the Lamia Sisters felt in their hearts.

"Feya, you're still too young. Do you know what you are saying?"

"'Those relations'? Do you really understand its meaning?"

"I didn’t think that I taught you how to be a liar!"

Feya brought her face near Yun Xi's ear with a naughty look. Then, she softly licked his ear and revealed the scar on his ear.

"Sisters, you are too late." Feya said flatly.

"Whoa! Why? Why?!"

"Feya! Feya has become the first!"

"When did she do it? The Apostle should have just arrived here... oh, when we were playing the water ball game!"

"No! If I also went to practice with the water ball alone..."

The Lamias all cried, as if they had just been thwarted in love.

This isn’t good, and I shouldn't turn a blind eye to their circumstances! Yun Xi thought.

"Well, I do think you are all misunderstanding something? I have done nothing to Feya. We are both still pristine!" Yun Xi explained the fact that he didn't commit a crime with the young girl.

"Yes, it's a secret of the adults. Apart from this, we are guiltless." Feya couldn't help but laugh.

Shuffle! Shamble! Shuffle! Her words struck a heavy blow to her sisters' hearts. They became more agitated.

Yun Xi looked at the girls in confusion. It seemed that something he didn't understand was happening.

What can I do now?

There is no better way than to go marching forward courageously!

"I want to marry as many of you as I can. Feya won't be my only bride!"

There!… I said it! It was outrageous and shameless, but in the Water God's world, it could be forgiven.

Because it is the only method that I have to save this world!

"Gee?!"

"Is he... for real?"

"So it wasn't fake news after all! The Apostle really wants to have a lot of brides!"

"Feya couldn’t satisfy you alone?!"

Yun Xi's words were like a fire in the darkness or the sun in the chilly winter. His words ignited the girls' flames of hope.

There is still a chance! They all thought.

Since he wouldn't only marry Feya, then they still had a chance!

"Cough, not that I mean that Feya couldn’t satisfy me, I mean…” Yun Xi felt really embarrassed. “Anyway, she is still too young, isn't she? I wasn't going to do anything to her now," Yun Xi said. What he thought he was saying, was gibberish.

It was true, but it still sounded like he was deceiving these innocent girls.

Probably they wouldn't doubt his words, because... they were so innocent!

"Yeah! The rumour was real!"

"Apostle, could you be a man who likes... the so-called harem?"

"That doesn't matter," cried out one sister. "We don't mind that at all!" cried another.

"We are confident about our forthcoming 'night activities'!" Another sister confided.

The rest nodding their heads in agreement.

The Lamias looked thrilled. As expected, they wouldn't doubt the Water God's Apostle, so they accepted his words immediately.

"Humph. What a heartbreaker you are!" Feya complained and bit Yun Xi's ear again.

Of course, she had known of this earlier. She just wanted to show off her trophy to her sisters before they found out.

Did I succeed? Yun Xi sighed. If possible, I want to be an upright gentleman. However, the world will not give me such a chance!

Chapter 219: Their Hope

"The Lamias' support is absolutely crucial to my plan. In whatever manner or way, you must marry them all, especially the hero ranked Lamia Queen! You must stake everything you have, because you are not being given the option of failure!"

Remembering Yun Que's order, Yun Xi smiled bitterly. It really was a tough task!

Fortunately, he did well... didn't he?

These Lamias were really enthusiastic about him.

"Hey Apostle, what position do you like? I like the reverse cowgirl position. If we can get married, I hope that our nuptial night can last for three days and three nights..." said the most excellent girl amongst all Lamias present. Incidentally, her breasts were also the biggest.

"I don't care what position it will be, but I do hope that you can stroke my tail at that time," said the second girl, who had the longest tail.

When the sisters’ talked, Feya felt confused about the discussion. She was still ignorant to the carnal knowledge of being married.

"Sisters, what are you saying? Don't couples have babies simply by holding each other? Didn't our queen go to sleep in the sailing jellyfish's tentacles, then we were born?" asked Feya.

Well, it was really a Lamia-style.

Yun Xi knew of the process of Lamia's being impregnated and giving birth. They could have babies simply by sleeping in the sailing jellyfish's tentacles!

Of course, he wasn't a sailing jellyfish, so he didn't have such a fantastic ability. Therefore, if he wanted to make the Lamias pregnant, he had to use a more traditional, skin-to-skin method.

Feya's sisters had learned this from the queen, and only Feya herself hadn't understood it.

She was too young, and her sisters didn't teach her this knowledge, which she couldn’t find in the books either.

"My Sisters' words are outlandish! Apostle, you, you will teach me, won’t you?" This time, it was Feya’s turn to feel jealous of her sisters.

She could feel a sweet aura amongst her sisters and the Apostle when they looked at each other. (Yun Xi: is completely misunderstanding the situation!)

For the first time, she saw such a happy look on her sisters' faces. Their bodies were spreading a sweet smell.

The sweet smell was a unique odour of adult Lamias, which she would obtain in the near future since she was still too young.

Feya had to admit that she was still too naive. Her aura was far inferior to her sisters.

She failed to understand her sisters' enthusiastic smiles. With discontent and anxiety in her heart, her tail coiled around Yun Xi's waist very much tighter.

What is it? What is this knowledge I don't know, but my sisters all understand?

Since she had signed the contract with the Apostle, what was this unknowing that still made her feel uneasy?

"Hoo, as expected, Little Feya still doesn't understand it."

"She is too young. It's natural that she doesn't understand it."

"When I heard that she had done 'that' with the Apostle, I thought... So it was just a misunderstanding!"

The elder Lamias whispered to each other with a reassuring look on their faces.

Of course, they weren't conspiring with each other to exclude Feya. They just thought that Feya was still too young to learn "that knowledge".

Even they themselves just learned "that knowledge" from the queen before they came to Caelian.

"Ooo, why don't you sisters tell me?! What are you talking about?!" Feya gazed at her sisters with her big innocent eyes. My sisters all liked me. Why are they looking at me with an amused look now?

"Well, Feya, you are still young. We will teach you about it after you have grown up."

"Yes, Feya, you will understand it after you have become a good woman."

"It would be a comfortable thing to do 'that' with your lover... the queen told me so."

The enthusiastic Lamias naturally revealed their true feelings after knowing that Feya wouldn't be the Apostle's only bride.

Maybe they knew nothing about love, however, they were also looking forward to having babies with their "chosen one".

First, the "chosen one" must be strong, because weak creatures couldn't offer Lamias the genes they needed.

Of course, hero ranked Yun Xi perfectly met this requirement.

The "chosen one" must believe in the great Water God, because Lamias were the Water God's most loyal people.

Naturally, as the Water God's Apostle, Yun Xi fulfilled this point, because he was beloved by the god!

Last but not the least, the "chosen one" must accept the Lamia Race from the bottom of his heart, by not being scared away like ordinary humans.

Alright, Yun Xi also met this point, because he never cared about his brides' race and identity...

The three requirements were all they had asked. They had never wished for more.

Since Yun Xi had perfectly met these three requirements, naturally, the Lamias had a crush on him from the beginning.

When they knew that Feya had become his bride, they seemed almost ready to cry, because they thought that they had lost their opportunity.

But, after Yun Xi said that he didn't mind having more brides, the flames of hope was ignited again in their hearts.

Since Feya could obtain his love, it might as well be me! They thought.

The great Apostle is really considerate!

As expected, you were chosen by the great Water God to change the fate of the Lamias!

Chapter 220: Summon

As Feya looked at Yun Xi with jealousy, the enthusiastic Lamias were chatting their hopes about a future with Yun Xi.

"Apostle, how many children do you want to have?"

"I think having seven children is fine. They can form a team."

"The Apostle's children will be handsome and beautiful."

Only when talking about children, did the Lamias become so excited.

The Lamia Race had had no new members for the last hundred years. The youngest Lamia, Feya, hadn't finished her childhood education in the sailing jellyfish's lair when they left, and had to return to the Lamia Race, becoming their most favorite little sister.

Therefore, they also hoped that they could have babies as soon as possible, so that their babies could play with Feya.

"No! The Apostle has promised to me that we will have two teams of children!" Feya was beyond her perseverance.

She was the first, after all! The first one who found the Apostle, the first one who coiled around the Apostle's waist with her tail, and the first one who had obtained the Apostle's promise!

She was the first, why were her sisters whispering endearments of love, and baby making talk with the Apostle instead of her?

It is so unfair!

"I can do whatever my sisters can do! Apostle, make babies with me! Immediately! Right now!" Feya threw out her chest. Her bold statement really shocked all the people present.

Yes, this is it! I must be a step ahead of my sisters!

I don't understand the process, but it doesn't matter, because the Apostle must know it. He can teach me!

"Well, Feya, do you even know what you are saying?" Even the boldest Lamia was shocked by her youngest sister's words.

"I heard that your “first time” is painful!"

"You are too young. Your body can't support you while you copulate for 12 hours!"

"Yes, yes, it's too early for you!"

Hey, hey, don't be so straightforward with a child! Yun Xi looked at the Lamias embarrassed, who were trying to persuade their youngest sister.

At the same time, he also realized that if a person's body quality hasn't reached the hero rank, then it was really a bad idea to fall in love with any Lamia, because no ordinary people could copulate 12 hours straight without sleep and rest.

Besides, it sounded like "12 hours" was just the most basic requirement. These "excellent Lamias" were hoping for a copulation time of "three days and three nights" or more!

Yun Xi didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to him if he really married these Lamias.

Probably, they would want me to carry on the responsibility for propagating the entire Lamia race.   As for him, he only needed to stay in the cave and repeat the process of "three days and three nights" over and over again.

It would really become a Lamia Festival, but my body would soon collapse due to being "overworked"!

"I'm not small, and, even if it would be painful, I can bear it!" Feya pouted.

She shouted seriously while holding her small fists clenched tightly, “Yes, no matter what will happen, I can stand them all!”

"This is the reason I can't do it!" Said Yun Xi listening to Feya's statement. Yun Xi understood how naive her mental age was.

It really would be a crime!

"Whoooooh!" Feya cried.

Is it all due to my age? She had never thought of that before.

It's not my fault I’m so "immature"!

"Don't worry, Feya. You will become a most excellent Lamia woman," Yun Xi comforted her. He wiped off her tears and smiled, "You should be more confident."

"Really? Can I become the most excellent Lamia woman?" Feya looked at Yun Xi with longing.

"Yes, believe in me, Feya. You can become the most attractive Lamia!" Yun Xi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Because your body contains a very special energy."

It was true. The White Emperor Mask had let him find a hidden powerful energy in Feya's body from the beginning. It was a very powerful energy, but it wasn't stable. It was being sealed by something, which should be an artifact that was similar to his mask.

Feya was different than the other Lamias, because she was carrying a very special fate.

Maybe if she could release the energy in her body, she would be able to grow up quicker.

Wait, if that came true, then how about my promise? Yun Xi suddenly had a feeling that he was caught up in his own trap.

"En! I will become stronger than my sisters!" Feya smiled through her tears after hearing Yun Xi's prediction.

This girl's bad mood was like the summer rain, here one minute and gone the next.

After comforting Feya, Yun Xi asked the Lamias around him, "Can you take me to your Queen? I have to ask her something."

"Apostle, you’re looking for our Queen? She is in a nearby sea area, but... do you really want to see her immediately?" The Lamias asked. They felt unusual about Yun Xi's request.

"Yes, it's important." answered Yun Xi decisively.

I have already come here, so there is no way back.

"Ok, let us call the Queen then." The Lamias looked at each other, then formed a circle.

"Feya, please do it." The strongest Lamia stood in the center of the circle and waved her hand to Feya.

"I know, sister." Feya left Yun Xi reluctantly. She skulked into the circle and nicked the blood vessel on her fin with her fingernail.

A drop of crimson blood dripped into the transparent water ball in front of her and spread around in the water ball.

"Ha!" The strongest Lamia swung her tail with all her might, whipping the water ball into the sky.

The next second, all the Lamias hissed in a weird tone. At the same time, the water ball exploded in the air.

With his mask’s power, Yun Xi could see the mist from the exploded water ball spreading around in the air. Soon after, the mist had covered a large area of the sea.

Some information contained in the mist was being blended into the sea and spread through the water with an incredible speed.

"Boom!"

A thunderous sound came from a very distant place.

Chapter 221: The Queen's True Body

A tsunami roared forward, rushing to the coastline from the sea horizon.

The blue sea trembled beneath that horrible sound. The tsunami was over a hundred metres tall, moving toward the coastline like a wall.

"Boom!" A huge black figure stood on the wave, looking like a storm, like lightning, like a catastrophe!

"How... huge is she?!" Yun Xi looked at the giant creature coming in with the wave. He was totally flabbergasted.

The oppressive sense he now felt, was already at the limit of what common humans could stand. If we were quantifying it, ordinary Lamias could make a human feel "10 units" of fear, but then the giant creature, who was rushing to this place, could cause a "1000 units" of fear in humans.

Her serpentine tail was over a hundred metres long!

Although her upper body looked human, but actually was also over dozens of metres tall. It wasn't an exaggeration to describe her as a "leviathan like monster".

Yun Xi knew the Lamia Queen was the King of all sea demons, but... her true body was so huge! It was far beyond his imagination.

"Feya, why are you calling me?" The familiar voice shook the sky and the earth. The tsunami collapsed, turning into millions of waters drops at the instant it touched the coastline. The Lamia Queen, who had seen Yun Xi before, drew herself up and looked down at the Lamias.

"Well..." Yun Xi blushed, because the Lamia Queen wasn't wearing anything.

Maybe it was because she had done strenuous exercise before, for her white skin was flushed pink. The two "peaks" on her chest weren't sagging due to their enormous volume and weight and were still standing tall like a pair of mellow fruits.

Her underbelly was smooth without overlap. In the middle, was her cute belly button. And when Yun Xi looked down, he saw her long slender tail.

If you overlooked her huge size, she was indeed the most mature and beautiful Lamia woman. Her special charms were much more overwhelming than all the young Lamias together.

"Oh my! The Apostle? Why are you here?" Finally, the Lamia Queen noticed Yun Xi. She looked surprised and awkward.

As the water drops splashed down, the Lamia Queen turned into the beautiful form Yun Xi was familiar with.

"Sorry, I was lost in concern." Compared to the young Lamias who were too excited, the Lamia Queen was much calmer.

"It's me who should apologize, because I am the one who came here out of the blue." The queen's seductive body was still vivid in Yun Xi's mind. He could barely look at the queen without embarrassment.

"My daughters, you were over reacting. Don't you know the ritual of summoning means 'something urgent is happening'? If I knew it was for our great Apostle, I wouldn’t have come so hastily with my true body." The Lamia Queen fretted. These little girls were really thoughtless!

The humans who were still alive after seeing her true body could be counted on her fingers.

"We did it because the Apostle wanted to see you as soon as possible."

"The Apostle's dictate is of the highest priority."

"Feya even donated her blood!"

The young Lamias laughed. They didn't fear of the majestic queen, because half of them were the queen's direct descendants. Compared to calling her "queen", they preferred to call her "Mom".

It’s not surprising for your daughters to act like spoiled children in front of their mother, is it?

"You kids! You are still unmarried and you already dare to disobey your Mom, hmmm?" The Lamia Queen sighed and shook her head.

It seems that I must teach them how to become good ladies. They just came to Caelian several days ago and have already forgotten the regulations of the Lamias.

The ritual of summoning was called "Blood Seal", which should only be used at the most critical time. She thought that they were in danger, so she immediately rushed to this place at full speed.

"Marry? Oh, we indeed need to discuss the date of marriage.", said the young Lamias.

"I think the next full moon night is a good choice. We will all be vigorous at that time.", suggested one of the more mature girls.

"The Apostle wants a lot of brides, and Feya has become his first bride." The Lamias looked at Yun Xi with longing and happiness.

"Well, does he? That's good." The Lamias Queen looked at her daughters in surprise.

At first, she thought that the Apostle would be very "picky", therefore, only the several most excellent Lamias would be able to stand a chance to marry him.

The Lamia Queen thought, “Why does it seem that they all have a chance to become the Apostle's bride? And, why was it Feya? Why was she the first? What had happened?”

"Well... Your Majesty, there is something I need to talk to you about," Yun Xi said nervously. He hesitated for a while at first, but finally pulled up his socks.

Since he wanted to marry the queen, he'd better tell the queen about his Mist Soul Army, so that it would be possible for her to understand and to agree to his proposal.

"Wow? We... are not enough? You want to marry our queen too?"

"You are really...brave!"

"Be forewarned, our queen is special. She is the strongest Queen of the Lamias!"

The Lamias immediately realized what Yun Xi was planning to do. They all looked at him with a strange look.

"You... well, aren't you afraid of me?" The Lamia Queen looked at Yun Xi in surprise.

He has seen my true body and he is still not afraid of me?

Based on her past experiences, no humans could be sane and sound of mind after witnessing her true body.

Humans would instinctively be frightened by giant creatures. Her true body had become many humans' nightmare and made many people go insane.

"Yes. I have no racial prejudices," Yun Xi said sincerely.

When he met her for the first time, he had realized that she was very dangerous. She was the strongest being he had met in the Water God's world.

However, compared to his ex-girlfriends, she was nothing dangerous. Once he remembered that he was still being wanted by his ex-girlfriends, he immediately had the confidence to overcome all obstacles.

"You are really... a strange child," The Lamia Queen smiled and nodded, "Ok, I will listen to you. Let's go."

Chapter 222: Requirement

What's it like to experience a date with the Lamia Queen?

Well...

The mountainous waves roared inside Yun Xi's ears, as if the heavens and the earth had been reversed. Compared to Yun Xi's Water Mist Field, the Lamia Queen's power was much more furious, like a moving natural disaster.

Fifty minutes later, she had taken Yun Xi into the open sea, which was far away from Caelian. And, this wasn't the destination. It was just a starting point.

"Come on, let's go to the Water God temple." The Lamia Queen shook her screw like tail, then, a one-kilometer maelstrom appeared under his feet.

As if there was a black cave that suddenly appeared in the sea, they fell into the maelstrom rapidly.

When the Lamia Queen turned into her human form again, they had stepped onto a world that Yun Xi could have never imagined.

The vault was covered in infinite darkness. Occasionally, some glowing fish swam across the vault.

Millions of tons of seawater were completely cut off outside of the building by some unknown power. The Water God temple was under the deep sea where they may have been ten kilometres in depth or more, but it showed no trace of being soaked by water.

The body of the temple was made of rare marble, and over ten stone pillars were supporting the temple's roof mightily.

A big pillar was standing upright in the center of the temple, spreading a special sense of the Water God's power.

"Welcome to our deep sea demon's temple. In fact, this temple is even older than the temple in Caelian. I am the Water God's High Priestess, the guardian of this temple, and the owner of the Sea Demon's Mirror." The Lamia Queen held Yun Xi's hand and rambled on the stone road, introducing the pride of Sea Demons: the Deep Sea Water God’s Temple.

Humans weren't allowed to enter this temple, because this was the sacred land of sea demons and the homeland of the Lamias.

"The Sea Demon's Mirror?" Yun Xi could feel that something in the temple was resonating with his White Emperor Mask.

It was similar to the Holy Scepter the Caelian Queen held, but the aura on it was much deeper and older.

"It's a relic for us Lamias and all sea demons. In fact, we Lamias weren't an intelligent race. We were just some beasts at that time. However, the Sea Demon's Mirror transformed our life form so that we were close to a human's. It was the key that has changed the fate of our race," The Lamia Queen said gently. She led Yun Xi to the sacrificial altar under the giant black pillar.

The same as other Water God temples, there was no idol in the sacrificial altar, because the Water God didn't need idols to symbolize itself. It was already the supreme god in this world.

On the sacrificial altar, was a blue mirror, reflecting the endless sea in it. Occasionally, Yun Xi could even see some sea demons swimming across the scene in the mirror.

"Apostle, why do you want me to marry you?" The Lamia Queen asked and waited for Yun Xi's answer.

"In fact, it's about my White Emperor Mask..." Yun Xi honestly told her his mask's ability and the news of the Sky Sword's coming.

"I see. So it explains why I witnessed strange slimes in the deep sea. Is this world going to be changed?" It seemed as if the Lamia Queen had seen what was going to happen through Yun Xi's eyes.

"So, you need brides to offer you powers? I see. I can lend you my power. I can agree to your proposal." The Lamia Queen smiled.

"Really?!" Yun Xi looked at the Lamia Queen in surprise. He didn't expect that the queen would be so approachable.

"But, I have a requirement," The Lamia Queen gave Yun Xi a mysterious smile and continued, "If you want to obtain my love, firstly, you must love my race. You must accept all Lamias. Only in this way can I believe in you and fight for you without reservation. This is a promise of the Lamias. As long as you can do that, we will keep our promise."

"Really? Is that all?" Yun Xi looked at the Lamia Queen in astonishment. Gradually, his eyes misted and his face blushed. Why? Why did he think that she was so beautiful at this moment?

"Since you are the only hope of our world, then we actually have no choice, right?" The Lamia Queen's heart was beating faster, because she was trying to use the Lamia's occult arts to entice the young man in front of her.

Yun Xi had thought wrong. Compared to his needs, the Lamias wanted him more.

The sailing jellyfishes had disappeared. Under this circumstance, Yun Xi was actually the Lamia Race's only choice to father the future.

This must be the will of the god. The Lamia Queen believed this without a shadow of doubt.

The world was being changed, and something new was happening. The disappearance of the sailing jellyfishes, the Sky Sword's coming, and the appearance of the White Emperor Mask were all parts of the world's fate.

Everything was the great Water God's will!

"Then, I swear here: I will accept the whole Lamia Race. I will regard all Lamias as my most precious treasures. I will protect and care them with my life!"

Chapter 223: Resonance

"Is this fine?" Standing in front of the Sea Demon's Mirror, Yun Xi put down his hand.

"Yes, that will do. We don't need more, because you are being loved by god!" The Lamia Queen smiled and gently kissed Yun Xi's forehead, "From now on, we Lamias will become your swords and shields, fighting for you. As long as there is still one Lamia in the world, this promise will never break."

It seemed that the Lamia Queen was really in a good mood. She blinked and teased, "However, I myself still have a small problem."

"What's the problem?" Yun Xi asked in a hesitant tone.

She was more mature than all the Lamias. Compared to the dangerous Dark Shadow Queen, she was more calm and leisurely.

Her temperament could only be cultured by time. Her every move and smile could make Yun Xi feel at ease.

No wonder she was the Queen of all Lamias!

"You haven't proposed to me!" The Lamia Queen pointed her fingers at Yun Xi's mask and said in a naughty tone.

"Ah!" Yun Xi was dumbfounded.

"Not just me. You haven't proposed to those girls either, right?" The Lamia Queen said and looked at Yun Xi with a kindly smile, "It's a very important thing to girls. If you want to marry them, you should say it out loud courageously. In this world, once you have missed your chance, you will never be able to get them back again."

Yun Xi finally realized it. No wonder that the Lamias were so proactive, but the number of his brides hadn't increased.

"You are... still too young..." The Lamia Queen held Yun Xi in her arms and put his head on her chest. She whispered besides his ear as if she was tempting him, "Say it, say the magical spell. No girls can resist that spell. Don't worry, we Lamias have chosen you. No matter what happens, we will be always with you."

Smelling the Lamia Queen's pleasant body scent, Yun Xi looked at her in confusion.

This dream trial is too real!

All beings in the Water God's world have their special characters. They have their fate and make great efforts for their future.

Why is this dream trial so different?

The Stars, why did you make me come to this world?

"I... I want you. I want you to be my bride.", said Yun Xi. He finally said the magical spell, which was an intoxication to all females.

"Even the infinite love from millions of people, it wouldn’t be more than the love you have granted to him. You have the whole world, but you only love this boy. Even though the world would end in misfortune, you would only offer this boy honour and hope," The Lamia Queen hummed the old poem Yun Que had chanted.

It was a story about a man who was loved by the god. In the world of despair, only the man was saved.

In order to save the man, the great god gave up the whole world. The god witnessed the world's death and only took away the man.

In that story, people abandoned their god and chose to step on a brand new road, obtaining a power named "science".

However, a monster suddenly descended into the world. When "science" could do no harm to the monster when it started to swallow the world, people finally remembered their god.

However, the god didn't respond to their prayers.

More precisely, the god only responded to one man.

In the dying world, the god only protected that man, because that man had never betrayed his god and doubted his faith.

In the world no one still believed in the god, the man was the god's last believer. Therefore, he become the god's only child.

In the dying world, he was the only person who should be saved. This was the god's decision.

When the world finally came to its end, the people sighed and regretted, and felt jealousy of the chosen one.

This old poem was the last elegy the people in that world had left.

The Lamia Queen looked at the boy in her arms straining with eagerness.

The great god! Since you have chosen this boy, then we will follow your will, becoming his power, no matter what future we will face.

The Lamia Queen thought, then lowered her head and kissed Yun Xi's lips.

Inside Yun Xi's cold mask, the Water God's power naturally spread around and resonated with the Sea Demon's Mirror behind the Lamia Queen.

...

In the Mermaid Palace, the shell jewelry on the Mermaid Queen's ears suddenly emitted a clear and melodious sound. Obviously, it was also resonating with the Sea Demon's Mirror.

"We have been bested! The Lamias are too cunning!" The Mermaid Queen brandished the trident in her hand with an unpleasant look. "The great Water God prefers me more. Why should they be the first?!"

In the Caelian Water God temple, looking at the white rings which suddenly rang on the scepter, the Caelian Queen showed a complex expression on her face.

"The Lamias have made their choice, we should also decide it as soon as possible. Which way will the world go? The great Water God, you will finally decide your bride?"

Chapter 224: Sweet Whisper

"Hm?" Yun Xi suddenly found that the Lamia Queen's kiss was very inept, as if she was a young girl who had no experience.

Yun Xi had heard it from the Lamias that the Lamia Queen had procreated many descendants. He thought that she would be very skillful at first!

"I... did I do something wrong?" The Lamia Queen noticed Yun Xi's confusion. She blushed.

"Inexperienced" is "inexperienced". She couldn't pretend to be experienced.

"No... nothing..." Yun Xi stared at the Lamia Queen. She looked as if she had become more beautiful after accepting his proposal. She had a very special charm now.

"Then... let's do it again..." The Lamia Queen vaguely guessed what Yun Xi was thinking. She kissed Yun Xi rashly, as if she was trying to prove something.

Instantly, Yun Xi was surrounded by the queen's sweet body heat. His body subconsciously remembered the Lamia Queen's kiss.

When Yun Xi responded to her enthusiasm and kissed her lips, the suffocating feeling made the Lamia Queen tremble.

In the final analysis, she was the same as all the other Lamias, because she hadn't actually had the experience of copulation. The deep kiss was what she learned from human romance novels, however, it was barely worth mentioning compared to Yun Xi's experience.

She resisted Yun Xi's tongue not firmly. Under Yun Xi's persevering tangle, she gave up resisting. Yun Xi's tongue slid into her mouth and explored around.

Soon after, Yun Xi's passion influenced the Lamia Queen. They held together and kissed each other, till the Lamia Queen. struggled intensely to gasp for breath.

"This is... strange. Is this the method humans use to share feelings?" The Lamia Queen gasped, gazing at Yun Xi with her watery eyes.

"Yes." Yun Xi could feel the abundant energy in his body, as if the Lamia Queen had a magical charm, because he just couldn't stop!

"Come on, love me." The Lamia Queen bravely kissed him again. Gradually, she was no longer nervous and opened her mouth, welcoming Yun Xi's tongue. Finally, their tongues tangled together tightly.

It was a sweet, soft, comfortable feeling. The six horns on Yun Xi's White Emperor Mask emitted lights at the same time.

"Puff! Puff!"

"Wow... Whoa! Puff!"

Is this my illusion? Yun Xi thought that he heard some sound, which he had heard once before.

"Ah... en... en..." Gradually, the Lamia Queen started to grasp his lips. She started to proactively respond to Yun Xi's kiss. They were both drunk with this exciting feeling.

"Do you want to... copulate with me?" The Lamia Queen gasped as her body started to secrete a special smell.

Yun Xi's heart struggled, as if it was suffering a summer storm.

Should I go a step further?

The Lamia Queen wouldn't resist him, and this wouldn't be his first experience. After all, he had spent that wonderful time with the dark elf.

"Let's do it for seven days and seven nights!" The Lamia Queen licked her lips and excitedly announced the mating time she wanted.

"Ah!" Yun Xi woke up from his imaginations suddenly. He remembered that the Lamia Race had a different definition about "copulation" than a human!

Even the most common Lamia could hold on for 12 hours, and many of them hoped to do it for three days and three nights.

As the strongest Lamia, naturally, her mating time was much longer. Seven days and seven nights!

"Isn't it enough? If you want, I can hold on for half a month. In order to make healthy babies, I don't mind if we extend the time!" The Lamia Queen gazed at Yun Xi with anticipation.

"Sorry, I don't have time for this!" Yun Xi smiled bitterly.

Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's coming had almost entered the third phase. He really shouldn't waste his time!

He had to refuse the queen's invitation, although the queen was really seductive to him at the moment!

"Well, what a pity." Fortunately, the Lamia Queen also realized that it wasn't the time for doing this.

"Then, in recompense, give me one more kiss!" The Lamia Queen acted like a girl in love, behaving in a spoiled manner.

Yun Xi held the queen's waist and licked her neck. The queen emitted a pleasant sound and stuck out her chest, catering to his behavior.

The world... is too strange! Feeling the soft body in his arms, Yun Xi felt more confused about this world.

"Puff! Puff!"

"Keep on! Keep on! Keep on!"

"Honey, honey...let’s copulate!"

"Wow! Whoa! Whoa!"

A magical voice echoed around and above the old sacrificial altar. A pair of liquid eyes quietly opened inside the Sea Demon's Mirror, gazing at the Lamia Queen and Yun Xi.

Chapter 225: The Sky Sword's Footsteps

As Yun Xi and the Lamia Queen whispered sweet nothings of love in front of the Sea Demon's Mirror, in the dark abyss under the ground, countless green slimes were merging with each other and evolving.

The Dark Shadow Spider was gracefully sitting on her throne of spider threads, looking at the crowd who were kneeling to her.

"Hail to the queen!"

"Our queen will conquer the world!"

"We must help our queen defeat the evil Water God at all costs and declare the glory of the Sky Sword!"

The Dark Shadow Spider Queen lateraled her head and exposed her snow white neck, looking at these people with a scornful smile. Obviously, these people had all been conquered by her charm.

Simple. It's too simple! Compared to how hard she’d tried recruiting "that man", enchanting these men was as easy as breathing.

She just cast the simplest Charm Magic, then these humans, who were upset about the Water God from a long time ago, immediately surrendered and joined her camp.

They were the Water God's people at first, but they formed a dark cabal, trying to overturn the people's belief in the Water God.

Naturally, they failed, so they became a crowd of "mice" who never dared to expose themselves in front of the public.

The Dark Shadow Spider found one of them, then dragged out the entire organization. She had almost caught all the heretics in her first draft.

"Do you want power?" The Dark Shadow Queen asked and looked at these fanatics. Her fingertip crossed in the air, then a group of green slimes appeared in front of these people.

"Oh oh oh, they are the god's graces!"

"The legendary Sky Sword's will!"

"The Water God will die and we will rule the new era!"

In these people's hearts, Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's coming was the last hope to save this world from the evil Water God's hands!

They were revolutionists and rebels, they would overthrow the Water God and rebuild the world!

They could do everything in order to kill the god, because this will had been inherited from generation to generation and had become their obsession.

Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword was the key that had released the obsession in their hearts and the flame that had ignited the madness in their minds.

"Come on, praise and accept the coming new era!" The Dark Shadow Queen waved her hand, then, these green slimes jumped to these people's faces and wormed into their noses and mouths.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"I felt it! I felt it! This is the god's power. This is the great Sky Sword's grace!"

These men shivered and twitched, emitting inhuman roars from their mouths. As the Dark Shadow Queen watched them with an enjoyable look, their bodies started to be transformed into monsters.

They were not humans any more.

This was the price of power. After abandoning their human bodies, they obtained high-speed recovery capability, strong flesh and bones and a Demon Bloodline. They wouldn't die even if their hearts had been pierced through.

"Hum, that's enough for them. After all, they can't bring me much more value." Looking at these men, no, green monsters now, the Dark Shadow Queen shook her head disappointedly.

It would be an idiotic nonsense to defeat the Water God with these human traitors, but, if she let them hide amongst ordinary people and sabotage at the right time, they could be of some use.

However, only Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword could lead them to win the coming war!

The Dark Shadow Queen could feel that as more and more special slime units appeared, the speed of the Sky Sword's coming had become faster and faster.

Once the Golden Slime King appeared, the slime network would be finally formed in this world, which also meant the start of the war between the Sky Sword's camp and the Water God's camp.

"Hm? Some people are coming?" The Dark Shadow Queen sensed that a team of humans were getting close to her location.

"Is it here?" A man asked with puzzlement. The next moment, a strange, snow white creature walked out of the darkness and looked at these green monsters with a leisurely look.

"Yes, this is the Sky Sword's base camp."

"We will cooperate with the Sky Sword."

"Is that fine? Yun He?" A man asked.

"Leave it to me. Believe in the god who led us out of the mist!" Another man promised. Soon after, a group of people walked to the Dark Shadow Spider Queen.

"Where are you from?" The Dark Shadow Spider Queen sniffed. Their odours... didn't belong to the Water God's world. They were outsiders just like her!

"We are this god's followers, and our god wants to cooperate with the great Sky Sword!" Their leader, Childe Yun He said. He measured the Dark Shadow Spider Queen with his questioning eyes.

She is beautiful! Childe Yun He swallowed as he looked at the Dark Shadow Spider Queen's white skin and deep black eyes. He had been spontaneously seduced by the spider queen's dangerous charm.

"Agree with them and let them become your subordinates." A voice suddenly appeared inside the Dark Shadow Spider Queen's mind. It was the direct indicator from Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword.

"Is it your god?" The Dark Shadow Spider Queen looked at the strange white creature with interest. She could feel a very special power from it.

"Yes, it's our god, the great Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli!" As an evil god's Apostle, Childe Yun He had actually become the leader of the Sword Palace disciples and started to preaching.

Unfortunately, there is no alpaca in this world, otherwise, I can sacrifice them to enhance myself to an incredible extent! Childe Yun He thought regretfully.

"Very well, finally, I have some good subordinates." The Dark Shadow Spider Queen nodded with satisfaction. This strange white creature could be a strong external assistance of the Sky Sword's camp.

Not only that, on a distant island, several strong hero ranked girls were on a special training mission. They would also join the Sky Sword's camp after making their choice.

Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's will was indeed invading and changing this world step by step!

Chapter 226: Escape from the Mist Island

"Roar!"

The giant dragon's roar echoed between the heavens and the earth. As the overlord of Mist Island, the white bone dragon was having a fierce battle with its invaders.

The bone dragon had died many, many years ago. Only the bones on its spine was still complete, and its wings, feet and tail were all mutilated. However, it still retained a third of its power from before its death.

It wasn’t a low-grade dragon like the male fiery dragon had been. It was a real, legendary dragon from the core area of the Dragon God's Domain.

It could even annihilate a team of hero rank adventurers if they dared to provoke it. This wasn't a hypothesis, because it had already happened several times. Many hero ranked adventure teams, who came to explore the Eye of the Storm, had been swallowed after waking it up.

Now, the people who were fighting against the bone dragon, were the strongest partners of the White Lotus Sword Palace, White Lotus and Red Lotus, and Yun Xi's childhood sweetheart, Hua Huo!

After waking up, they found that they were trapped on the Mist Island. Finally, they encountered the bone dragon, then, the battle between them started and had lasted for half a month.

The battle was really tough, because this dead dragon was the strongest monster in the mist. If you only considered its power, it was even stronger than any of the three High Priestesses.

In the Water God's world, the bone dragon had almost become a symbol of disaster. Everytime it walked out of the mist, it would wreak havoc in this world.

The dragon had died many years ago, naturally, it was hostile to all living beings. When Hua Huo and the twin witches appeared on its territory, it immediately noticed them and launched a rabid attack.

Now, the battle had entered its final stage.

"Why is it chasing us?!" Tightly holding the Red Lotus Holy Sword in her hand, Red Lotus gasped with profuse sweating.

"Perhaps it's because it's too ugly!" White Lotus' face looked pale. She was already exhausted.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Hua Huo shouted. It wasn't because of the bone dragon, but because of her instinct as Yun Xi's childhood sweetheart: her Jealousy Radar!

A strand of her hair was stretching and wiggling on her head. She instinctively sensed that something very bad was happening in this world, but she couldn't go to stop it!

My Little Xi must be in a big trouble! I should have found him and been beside him by now, but this blasted bone dragon has me trapped here!

"How dare you stop me on way to find my love? You will die horribly!" Hua Huo lifted her sword and adjusted her breath, then said decisively, "Shaya Longnis, I agree to your offer! I will join your camp and fight against this world's god! This world must hate us, then, such a world shouldn't exist!"

Obviously, the Sky Sword heard Hua Huo's words. Green dewdrops dripped down from the sky and permeated into Hua Huo's skin, restoring her physical strength and energy rapidly.

"It seems that the Sky Sword is satisfied with Hua Huo's decision Sister. We should also make our choice." White Lotus counted her fingers, trying to divine this world's secret.

After coming into this world, they were always surrounded by this world's hostility. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been thrown onto the Mist Island and hunted by one of the strongest monsters in this world.

The bone dragon had already firmly locked onto them. Once the bone dragon found them, it would rush them and attack them without any hesitation.

"To be honest, I don't want to make this decision, but... it seems that we have no choice." Red Lotus wiped away the sweat on her forehead.

In fact, when the twin witches and Hua Huo teamed up, they were not inferior to the bone dragon. However, the bone dragon had a very disturbing ability: no matter how many times it had been torn to rags, it could recover within a few seconds. With this ability, it was almost unbeatable!

They had a strange feeling that the world's determination was trying to trap them on Mist Island, so it sent out the bone dragon.

The only way to leave the island was the whispers they occasionally heard when they were fighting.

"I'm Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword. Join my camp and become my subordinates. I will confer you the power to kill this dragon!"

However, Hua Huo and the twin witches didn't accept the Sky Sword's invitation immediately. They beat down the bone dragon over and over again, displaying their strong, and horrible power.

Unfortunately, the bone dragon could also revive over and over again. Apart from this, the island was surrounded by a very strong Magical Ward, so they couldn’t leave the island easily. Now, they had really reached an impasse.

"I, White Lotus!"

"I, Red Lotus!"

"I, Hua Huo!"

After killing the bone dragon and witnessing it reviving again, the three girls finally made their choice.

"We choose to join the Sky Sword's camp!"

"Very good! You are making the right choice. This world is a mistake. It shouldn't exist. And I'm the person who will correct this mistake!" Shaya Longnis said. As her voice echoed in the clouds, countless green threads dropped from the sky, shredding open the mist and locked the bone dragon down on the ground.

"Leave! You will become the heroes to save this world. In the name of Shaya Longnis, I confer upon you the power to win against this world!"

Three green gems dropped from the sky and were embedded onto the twin witches and Hua Huo's foreheads. Instantly, they found that the strange feeling of being rejected by the world's determination disappeared.

"Is this the power of a Sky Sword?" Hua Huo felt the power on her forehead. Some flame like emotion was burning inside her eyes.

"Finally, that strange feeling disappeared." White Lotus let out a sigh of relief. Because the world was blocking her, for the first time, she couldn't predict the future with the Great Circulation.

Why? Why is this world so hostile to us? Are we really not allowed to come into this world？

Chapter 227: The Mermaid Queen's Requirement

In the beautiful, sparkling Shell Palace, the Mermaid Queen gazed at Yun Xi with an unpleasant look. Her beautiful big eyes looked aggrieved as if she was a bad tempered child.

"Why did you choose the Lamias first?"

Yun Xi embarrassedly looked at the Queen and didn't not know what to say.

The Queen's charm was apparently different than the Lamia Queen. Her skin was more white and her temperament was more pure. Apart from her fishtail, she looked no different from a human.

She was a pretty woman, shining and sparkling. When she smiled with her mouth closed and looked at Yun Xi with her innocent eyes, Yun Xi even felt slightly guilty, as if he had just done something wrong.

"I know, I know. I can't do 'that' and last for seven days and seven nights like the Lamias, but, I can do my best!" The Queen complained in a sad tone.

Why? How did she know that? Yun Xi was dumbfounded. I’ve never told her anything about what happened between the Lamia Queen and himself!

In front of the Sea Demon's Mirror, he was captivated by the Lamia Queen's charm. They didn't have time to "take their last step", but they had tried everything up to “that”.

Once the Lamia Queen let down her guard, she behaved like a young girl first awakening to love. She left a wonderful memory for Yun Xi.

"Humph. I will let you see what a Mermaid's Secret Potion can do! I can do everything the Lamias can do!" The Queen ground her teeth with a determined look.

It was jealousy. Her cute face looked as if she was a girl whose favorite toy was just taken away by her best friend.

After making up her mind, she took out a bottle of blue potion, then drunk it in one big gulp.

The next moment, something fantastic happened. The Queen's fishtail gradually become smaller and smaller, until finally, her fishtail turned into a pair of human feet,

"This is..." Yun Xi was shocked into silence. After becoming a human, the Queen looked even more enchanting, even her light blue priest robe couldn't hide her beauty.

Her ice white skin emanated a flower like fragrance. Her big eyes looked as clear as a pair of blue sapphires.

Under the soft light in the temple, the Queen's face was extremely beguiling.

"I can agree to your proposal, but, I have a requirement." The Queen gently blowed in Yun Xi's ear, "Do whatever you have done to the Lamia Queen twice to me. I won't concede to her!"

From her childhood, she always lost to her best friend, the queen of deep sea demons, the Lamia Queen.

The Lamia Queen entered the hero rank faster than her and became her race's leader sooner than her. Even the size of the Lamia Queen’s breasts was bigger than hers.

Due to her racial superiority, humans trusted her more. Apart from this, she had never defeated the Lamia Queen once.

Although she was the Queen of the Mermaid Race, the Mermaids liked romance, and she wasn't an exception. She looked forward to having a perfect lover. As a queen who liked to read human romance novels, she had imagined the appearance of her lover countless times.

The man must be very strong. At the same time, the man would be very mature and reliable. The man must accept all her weaknesses and love her without reservation.

The last and the most important thing is: her lover can't be inferior to the Lamia Queen's lover!

Yun Xi perfectly met her requirements. There was only one deviation: he had become the Lamia Queen's lover first!

Why didn’t I realize it earlier? The Lamia Queen and I are the best friends from our childhoods. Naturally, she also likes the things I like. Our requirements for our lovers are the same!

When such a perfect man came to her, how would she not want to marry him?!

Probably, when this man first visited the Caelian temple, I and the Lamia Queen had fallen in love at first sight.

As the Water God's High Priestesses, they had no resistance to this man who was beloved by god!

When they knew his wish, they all chuckled to themselves.

However, I didn't expect that the Lamias would be the first!

How could such a thing be allowed?! This time, I won't lose!

Therefore, I drunk the Secret Potion of the Mermaid's  to prove that I'm not inferior to the Lamias.

"I can do whatever Lamias can do!" The Queen repeated. She lowered her head with unease, ungracefully walking to Yun Xi with her newborn human legs.

Her red lips closely covered Yun Xi's lips. Soon after, Yun Xi's desire defeated his intellect. He held the Queen's body in his arms tightly and responded to her enthusiasm with all his strength.

This was what the Queen expected and wanted.

Her body trembled as her lips became hot. She fell upon Yun Xi's neck and drunk in his kiss.

Chapter 228: The Mermaid Queen Likes Immorality

As if the sky and earth were spinning round, the Mermaid Queen was drunk in her own sweet dream. She had forgotten her identity as the Water God's High Priestess and her glory as a queen. At this moment, she only remembered the happiness she had found, only when she was in Yun Xi's arms.

Ah, is this what the Lamias experienced? I can feel the happiness emerging from the bottom of my heart. Is this what they call "love"?

Her body became hot and her eyes became watery. She ground her teeth and groaned.

Yun Xi's hands roamed all over her body as his mouth kissed her forehead, eyes, chin and breasts.

"Ah!" Through her clothes, the Queen could still feel Yun Xi's hot breath. She blushed, but she didn't resist him. Her body had become more sensitive after drinking the Mermaid's Secret Potion, as Yun Xi kissed her, a thrill went through her spine and directly into her brain.

Her snow white face was covered with a layer of pink. She groaned, unintentionally rubbed against Yun Xi's hard body.

"Is this what you have done with the Lamias?" The Queen looked at Yun Xi with her watery eyes and enthusiastically cooperated with his moves as her body trembled.

"En...although, your reactions are much more intense..." Naturally, Yun Xi remembered the Lamia Queen's soft body. Compared to Lamias' special body structure, the Mermaid Queen's body wasn't that soft, but her skin was more tender.

"More intense..." The Queen emitted a seductive groan. She knew that Yun Xi and the Lamia Queen had not only done these things. They should have had a more intimate relationship.

"Then make it become much more intense..." The Queen entreated.

Yun Xi hesitated for a while, then responded to her desires. He gently and slowly held her head in his arms, then softly took off her priest robe, which was already in a fearful mess.

After the last of her upper clothes were dropped to the ground from the Queen's own delicate fingers, the Queen of the Sea finally exposed her snow white, naked upper body in front of Yun Xi.

Yun Xi didn't hesitate. Instead, he stretched out his right hand and put it on the Queen's pure white leg. Yun Xi's fingers stroked her smooth, silk like skin, and the wonderful feeling made it hard for him to take his hand off.

Yun Xi's hand shook with over excitement. He slowly moved his hand to her ankle and softly rubbed it. Her smooth ankle was so pleasing to the touch, making him like it so much, that he could hardly bear to put it down.

The Queen shyly put her white jade like feet in front of Yun Xi. With a sudden compulsion, Yun Xi's warm palms held her left foot carefully, as if it would fly away at any time!

No matter how long he looked at or stroked her toes, he couldn’t get tired of it!

"Do you like my feet?" The Queen asked Yun Xi with a very seductive voice.

Yes, this is my weapon, I’ve drunk the Mermaid's Secret Potion. It's my trump card that I can use to defeat the Lamia Queen!

After all, the Lamia Race doesn't have this kind of fantastic potion. At this level, I have a special treasure that the Lamias would never have!

"Yes." Yun Xi fascinatedly looked at the Queen's crystal white legs and her graceful body.

"After we have married, I will let you do whatever you want to me. It will be a much better experience than what you have experienced from the Lamias." The Mermaid Queen put her feet on Yun Xi's legs and enticed him, "Now, do what you have done with the Lamias to me."

At this moment, Yun Xi only wanted to cry, but failed to shed a tear.

Really? It was embarrassing to remember what I have done with the Lamia Queen. Do I really need to do them again?

In the crystal clear sea palace, they held and kissed each other as their souls went to a spiritual paradise together.

The Queen emitted cute sounds from her mouth, enjoying the happy time with Yun Xi.

Oh, he must be the best lover!

The Queen was drunk with her unethical game. Everytime she remembered that she was playing with the Lamia Queen's lover, she couldn't stop the thrill of stealing another person’s lover from going through her spine.

Lamia Queen, I'm not inferior to you. Since you can obtain the best lover in this world, I can obtain him too.

Do you remember? When we were still young and talked about what we would do when we fell in love.

"I will devote myself to my lover with all my heart and soul," the young Lamia Queen had said at that time.

"I will do whatever for my lover, no matter how shameful it will be," the Queen remembered her answer.

It must be a crime to steal my best friend's lover.

However, why am I so excited?

Chapter 229: The Bell Is Ringing

The Mermaid Queen's cute sounds echoed inside the old palace. On the sparkling surface of the water, the waves of love were rippling.

"Puff! Puff!"

"La la la la!"

"Ooo ooo oooOOooo!"

The whispers which had appeared in the Lamia Queen's palace also echoed in the water, as if it was singing.

...

The next morning….

"Does this mean... the two High Priestesses have all accepted my proposal? Did Yun Que already expect this result?" Looking at the Queen who was sleeping soundly beside him, Yun Xi smiled bitterly.

Except for the last step, he and she had done everything last night.

I can't be an upright gentleman any longer!

However, why did the Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen trust me so much? Even though I'm the Water God's Apostle, they still behaved too credulous, as if they were just two naive young girls.

If I really was a scumbag, they would have had a very heart-rending ending.

"Sorry. I hope I won't become a bad memory for you," Yun Xi sighed and touched the Queen's face with his fingers.

On his White Emperor Mask, there were already three different hero ranked auras inside three horns.

The first was from Black Moon, the mysterious dark elf and the commander of his Mist Soul Army.

The second was from the Lamia Queen, the Queen of Sea Demons and the Water God's High Priestess.

The third was from the Mermaid Queen, the queen of the Mermaid Race and the Water God's High Priestess.

It seemed that every time he had a hero ranked bride, the White Emperor Mask would naturally project the bride's aura inside one of the horns.

Their power had indeed been overlapped onto Yun Xi's body and their Mist Souls had also become the hero units in Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army.

"I proposed to you because I need your power. Can you forgive me?" Yun Xi felt guilty for his behavior.

The Stars above, is this all really necessary?

Maybe Yun Que was right. I'm no good as a so-called emperor, because I don't have such a wild ambition.

However, this world's god still chose me and conferred to me the false power of the emperor mask.

I have to take the responsibility for that and move forward.

"I forgive you. I will forgive you for whatever you have done or will do." The Queen opened her blue eyes and looked at Yun Xi. She knew he was going to leave.

"You have the right to do that, and whatever you will choose to do, remember that I will always be on your side. This is a timeless promise of mine."

Yun Xi shook his head.

She didn't understand. This isn't a real world. She, the Lamias and all the people in this world are just living in a dream. Maybe it is because this dream is too real, I had almost thought that I had really come to an old world and married these beautiful girls.

"Nothing is true, everything is permitted..." Yun Xi muttered in a sad tone. He helped the Queen tuck herself in bed and embarked on his journey again.

"When I dream of a butterfly, do I dream of being a butterfly? Or did the butterfly dream of being me?" The Queen looked at Yun Xi's back and showed a strange smile on her face, "My god, the future you are looking forward to is coming!"

"Puff! Puff!"

"Yeah! Yeah!"

"Wait... for..." A voice came from nowhere, echoing around the Queen's ears with the fresh smell of the sea.

...

In Caelian, the City of Water, the bell of blessing was ringing through the skies. After finding where it was from, people looked at the Water God temple in surprise.

This bell of blessing would only ring at a very special moment. The last time the bell rang was on the day of the Caelian Queen's enthronement.

The bell just rang 18 times, which represented the highest blessing of the city.

"It's strange. Today isn't a festival, why did the bell ring?"

"It rang 18 times. Anything good happened?"

"I don't know. I didn’t hear any rumours!"

The residents looked at the Water God temple's bell tower in confusion.

On the tall bell tower, the Caelian Queen, dressed in a white robe, was shaking the scepter in her hands with a gentle smile.

The Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen had each accepted the Apostle's proposal. Naturally, it was worth celebrating.

Perhaps this news would spread around the whole city soon after. Of course, people would know the Apostle wanted to marry as many brides as he could.

As the Highest Human Priestess, she could clearly sense the coming of a brand new era.

In the forests, caves and on the mountains, and even in the deep sea, countless slimes were gathering in crowds and groups and evolving.

Now, not too many people had realized how powerful these little things would become, because, these slimes would expose their fangs soon.

The Sky Sword's coming was unstoppable. She, the Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen had all known it.

Because the Water God was looking forward to the Sky Sword's coming.

"My god, have you found your love? Have you found your bride? If he means the end of this world, we will also accept this result, because he is the only chosen one."

As the Caelian Queen whispered, a cloud of mist was flying into the city. With unease and befuddlement in his heart, Yun Xi arrived at the top of the Water God temple and landed in front of the Caelian Queen.

Chapter 230: Her World

"You are here," The Caelian Queen said gently and looked at Yun Xi.

She had known everything.

The Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen couldn't refuse the Water God's Apostle. They had strong power and a determined will, however, they couldn't resist the Apostle, who was blessed by the god's power.

As the Water God's most loyal people, they had fallen in love with the Apostle at first sight.

They were ten times older than the Caelian Queen, but their experience in love was still as naive as two children.

As for her, she was an innocent girl from many years ago.

As a human, she had carried on the responsibility of handling affairs for a lot of years. She had never thought to marry anybody, because she had decided to devote herself to her belief from the first day she became a priestess.

She was the Queen of Caelian and the High Priestess of all mankind. She couldn't marry anyone.

In fact, the Water God never proclaimed that its priests and priestesses couldn't get married. However, all Water God's High Priestesses were innocent virgins. Even though the Water God didn't mind it, but the first High Priestess never married during her life, and it had become an underlying regulation after that.

Maybe it was because people subconsciously thought that their High Priestesses should be virgins, so they didn't dare to go against people's will.

The priestesses who got married would never be the Water God's human High Priestess.

She was born in the royal family and changed her fate due to her loyal belief to the Water God.

As a girl of royal lineage, she had voluntarily gone to be a village priestess, then got promoted step by step and finally became one of the Water God's High Priestesses.

The Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen seldom interfered in government affairs. Therefore, she, the Caelian Queen, was the highest ranking priestess who was actually ruling the whole church.

The reason why she could become the Water God's High Priestess was because she was the god’s most loyal believer.

Her divine magic was on the top three list of the whole world's history. Besides, her term of office was already over fifty years. No one would doubt if she could become the most excellent High Priestess in the history.

She also thought that she was the most beloved person of the god, because she was even conferred the Water God's Scepter and heard the god's oracles many times.

She even knew that the god was puzzled about this world, because there were things that were out of the god's control. There were big problems that the god couldn't solve.

In this case, she was convinced that she was the god's most favorite priestess, till that day, till she saw that man and his silver mask.

For the first time in her life, a strong feeling named "jealousy" rose inside her heart.

Why? Why isn't me? Why is it this person?

I'm the one who can help the god solve the problems. I'm even willing to offer my life to the great Water God.

Indeed, Water God's Apostles had also appeared several times in the past, but they wouldn't appear in front of the public like this Apostle. They were not humans but from an old race. The Water God selected them to investigate the abnormal occurrences in this world.

However, this Apostle was a human, and he had the White Emperor Mask, which represented the highest authority from the Water God. It was really unimaginable for her.

This man was the one who was beloved by the god! After seeing Yun Xi, her faith was shaken.

I'm guilty! I shouldn't doubt my god! She had to kneel in the temple to purge her sins.

"How lucky you are!" The Queen held Yun Xi's hand and kissed the back of his hand.

"What's the feeling like to be loved by a god? It must be a fantastic, heaven like feeling. If possible, I really want to take your place, even if I will go to hell after that. Do you know how envious I am?"

Yun Xi looked at the Queen in surprise. For the first time, he knew the Queen's real feelings.

When he stayed with the Queen before, he only felt a sacred aura from her.

Her temperament was saintly, and inside of her eyes, there were infinite mists. They were the purest energy of faith, so her body wasn't flesh and blood any longer.

Maybe her strength was inferior to the Lamia Queen, but her divine spell was undoubtedly the strongest!

"Is such a jealousy strange? I thought that after I devote myself to the great world, nothing in this world could make my heart shake."

"Since my childhood, I always longed to come here and become the person who is closest to the god."

"Finally, at the age of 25, I achieved my goal of becoming a High Priestess."

"For this, I left my family and abandoned my wealth. After losing everything, I finally came to this place."

"I had never regretted my choice, because I had expected all the difficulties from the beginning." The Queen touched the old bell and remembered her past life.

How many years had passed? What was it like when I was still a young girl?

As the Water God's High Priestess, she was no longer a human after holding the Water God's Scepter in her hand. She had even forgotten her name and was only to be called "the Caelian Queen".

She remembered it now. When she was still a young girl, she once ran and played on the city's streets. She had also had a carefree childhood.

It's strange. Why do I remember these things now?

Maybe it's because I'm getting married.

I will marry this child, the child who was standing in front of me with a clueless look.

Chapter 231: The Door of Memories

When did I forget that I am a "human" also, instead of just the Water God's High Priestess and the Caelian Queen?

She felt that it was a long, long time ago, which was a time much older than all her memories.

Why did I make that decision and arrive at this point?

The door of her memories gradually opened.

When she was five years old, she was just a carefree little princess. Her family was a branch of the imperial family, so she could’ve lived a charmed life.

"Elizabeth, you are one of the candidates for the next Caelian Queen."

"Elizabeth, if it's you, I know you can be the Queen."

"Elizabeth, why don't you have a try? Why don't you want to be the Queen?"

From a very young age, she always heard similar words from various people, which made her feel confused and angry.

Why do I have to be the Queen? Was I born just to be a candidate for the next Queen only?

What will I be after I’ve become a Queen?

The Caelian City's imperial family was formed by the relatives of the first several High Priestesses'. As time went by, they formed a stable blood lineage.

Because their bloodline conferred them great talent in practicing divine spells, most Caelian Queens were from this family. Although they didn't declare it to the public, but the whole world had regarded them as the Caelian Imperial Family.

"Elizabeth" was the first High Priestess's name. She never married during her long life and devoted her whole life to the great Water God. She was the person who was closest to god.

After that, once talented girls were born in the imperial family, people would call them "Elizabeth", hoping that they could become the next High Priestess.

Her family was one of the imperial family's branches. As a girl who had great divine spell talent, she wasn't an exception.

There were also a dozen of girls who had the same name, and they were educated by their families no matter the costs.

"I... I don’t want to be the Queen!"

Oh, now she remembered. At the beginning, she didn't want to be the Queen at all, because she thought that people's fates shouldn't have been decided for them by their births!

I just looked pretty and my bloodline talent is slightly better than others, why do I have to be called "Elizabeth" and must be perfect in everything?!

The courses of divine spells were difficult. I wanted to run, to play, to enjoy a free life!

At the age of eight, the dissatisfaction in my heart finally came to a head.

So she ran away from her family!

In order to have a free life, she secretly left the Caelian City and decided that she would never come back.

If to be the Queen is the best future I can have? Let it go to hell!

Yes, I was so rebellious at that time. It's incredible... the Caelian Queen gently smiled as she watched the little girl in her memories.

Wearing a big straw hat on her head and a pair of white leather boots on her feet, accompanied by her big loyal dog, she left the city.

Where should I go? What will I do? She had had a plan in her heart.

She could use her divine spells. Although she didn't want to be the Queen, she wouldn't refuse to take this on for a living.

She was only eight years old, but she received a good education. Once she found a place of refuge and hid there for several years, she would be totally free.

Yes, at that time, she thought that it was a very easy thing to do.

After leaving her family, even the air could let her feel free.

This is a wonderful world, I can achieve my goals easily. All people are living a common and peaceful life, why must I accept the fate to be a pathetic Queen? It's not fair!

She didn't hate being called "Elizabeth", but she wanted to be a free, happy Elizabeth!

I will create a happy future with my hands! I will take control of my life and won't let anybody tell me what to do!

At the first, the journey was happy. She met a friendly caravan, and several uncles and aunts who were very kind to her.

They were the owners of the caravan. They travelled amongst the islands in this world, trading different goods to the people in different places.

She gradually became a member of this new big family. She wasn't a pampered princess anymore, because there was only an "Elizabeth" who was working very hard for living in the caravan.

The more places she had visited with the caravan, the more understanding about this world she had.

The Water God's world was a very fertile world. It was a land flowing with milk and honey, and no one would die in hunger, because this world was a promised land that had been blessed by the god!

People in this world all believed in the old and great Water God. In all cities and villages, there must be a Water God's high altar.

The Water God was a very great god. The more places she had visited, the more she realized it.

The Water God's Human High Priestess, which also meant the Caelian Queen, was more sacred and lofty than she had imagined. It was definitely not a position that could be inherited, by a girl from a branch of the imperial family, easily.

The people who wanted to be the Water God's High Priestess would be tested many times. They must have great talent in divine spell casting and have reached the hero rank. After that, they would be allowed to hold the Water God's Scepter, and the result would decide if they could become the god's spokesperson.

So the Queen was such a great person. She was vaguely beginning to understand how special her bloodline was.

Is the first Elizabeth's blood, also flowing in my body?

If so, it's not that unacceptable to know my family wanted me to become the Queen.

However, I won't be the Queen. I have decided to be a free traveling merchant.

This idea is much simpler and easier compared to being a superior Queen!

Chapter 232: That Day

She gave up on practicing the complex divine spells and reciting the head-scratching religious doctrine every day.

After becoming a member of the caravan, she only needed to learn the knowledge of trading and enjoy the days of travel.

In the caravan, no one could live an extravagant life without working hard with their own hands.

Every time they passed by a village, she would record the village's special local products in her notebook. She imagined that one day, she would bring her own caravan back to the villages and trade with the villagers just like what the current caravan had done.

It seemed that it wasn't an impossible dream. Compared to being the Queen, this future was much better in her heart.

As time went by, she had followed the caravan travelling around the world for a whole year, and learned how to buy and sell goods bit by bit.

She was a smart little girl. One year later, although she was still only nine years old, she was already able to buy and sell goods alone. Every time when the caravan stopped and rested in a city or a village, she would spread out goods to sale in her own booth.

Although she couldn't earn a lot from this, she still felt happy, because she was indeed walking forward on the road to the future that she wanted to have.

Before that day, she always believed that she could be an excellent merchant. Perhaps a few years later, she would be able to team up with the young children in the caravan and form a new caravan with them. And this was what the adults in the caravan were happy to see. They always looked at these brave young children with their warm eyes and encouraged them to do whatever they wanted to do.

At the beginning of history, there was only one caravan in the Water God's world. As time went by, the children in the caravan gradually grew up and left the caravan. They teamed up and formed new caravans one by one, because they believed that they were trying to build a better future for all of the Water God's world.

People believed that they should give the credit to the great Water God. Because the Water God was blessing all living beings in this world, so that this world could be so prosperous and vibrant.

However, the world wasn't always peaceful. Even in such a beautiful world, there were still horrible things out there.

It was a sunny morning. Elizabeth was looking at the distant sky. Pink clouds floated in the sky as if they were some shy blushing girls, and behind the clouds, the sun half exposed its red face. After a while, the clouds faded away and the sun rose, everything on the ground was basking in the bright sunlight.

"What a nice day!"

"We should set out on our journey now."

"Elizabeth, let's go!"

For some reason, as everyone was bursting with happiness, Elizabeth suddenly sensed a special feeling. Her bloodline made her uneasy, as if it was warning her that something was coming. Unfortunately, she didn't understand that warning from her bloodline at that time.

Soon after, the whole caravan embarked on the journey and slowly moved onto the safe route.

However, about two hours later, the mist around them suddenly became cold and damp.

As gusts of wind blew over the whole caravan from the mist, the sunny sky darkened as the mist became thicker and thicker.

"No! It's Mist Tide!"

"That can't be true! The Mist Tide shouldn't come at this time!"

"Run, run! Just leave the goods here. Run as fast as you can!"

Why is everyone so scared? Why is everyone's face turning pale?

Unfortunately, the mist had surrounded the unlucky caravan. After a few seconds, the huge Mist Tide had swallowed the whole caravan.

"No! I don't want to die!"

"God, please save us! At least, please save my child!"

"The great Water God, help us!"

The people reverently prayed, however, it couldn't save them.

Mist Tide was one of the most dangerous natural disasters in the Water God's world. If the fertile land and the sweet fountains were the god's blessing the world, then the unpredictable Mist Tide was all the world's nightmare.

No one knew what would happen to the people who were involved in the Mist Tide, because no one had ever returned from it.

That day, after witnessing what happened in the Mist Tide, for the first time, Elizabeth realized how feeble and naive she was.

The uncles and aunts, who had been considered to be her families, froze and was swallowed in front of her by the mist. An unknown horrible monster came with the Mist Tide and ate the people of the caravan one by one in front of her.

Her friends, the boys and girls who had promised that they would form a new caravan and work around the world with her, cried and struggled in the monster's paws. However, their struggle was meaningless. The monster slowly and ruthlessly ate Elizabeth's friends, breaking all her dreams about her future.

"Elizabeth, if you can be the Queen, I believe that you will be a good Queen."

"Elizabeth, the Queen is very special."

"Elizabeth, you are beloved by the god."

The monster didn't eat Elizabeth. Although it stared at her with a great greed, but it sensed a very special aura from her, which made it hesitate for a very long while and finally left reluctantly.

At that moment, Elizabeth finally understood what the Queen's bloodline meant. Even if she had only a little part of the first Queen's bloodline, she was still special.

Maybe this was the reason why the monster was scared away.

She finally understood how feeble and naive she was.

After losing everything, she returned to her family. When she picked up the divine spell book again, she cried and blamed herself because she didn't study hard in the past.

If I had mastered the strong divinity spells in the book, I could’ve defeated the monster in the mist and changed my whole caravan's miserable fate!

After that, she matured overnight. She realized the importance of her bloodline and the fate she would carry on her back.

This world wasn't as wonderful as she thought before. There were monsters in the mist and demons in people’s nightmare. This world also had its dark side.

Chapter 233: The Origin of the Mist Tide

Mist Tide.

It was a periodic, uncontrollable natural disaster in the Water God’s world.

Since the beginning of history, Mist Tide had never completely disappeared.

Mortals couldn't walk into the mist and look steadily at the mist. Once the Mist Tide rose, they could only pray to the great Water God. Apart from this, there was no way to escape from the Mist Tide. No matter if it was Human, Mermaid, or Lamia, no race could fight against the Mist Tide alone.

Mist Tide was unpredictable. It could appear at any time and any place.

In the sky, on the ground, across the sea. Once the infinite mist gathered together and swept through the world, everything would drop into quiescence.

Elizabeth once studied the Mist Tide from books and had had an in depth knowledge about this natural disaster.

Once living beings were involved in the Mist Tide, only a very few lucky people would have a narrow escape from it.

After deeply and thoroughly investigating all the tales, she found that they were all due to the Water God's power.

When they were enveloped in the Mist Tide, few survived. Of those that did, some were holding ancient family treasures, and some were born with a special bloodline just like her.

A few survivors left notes, in which they recorded their experiences. From these records, the Mist Tide wasn't caused by some unknown monster. It really was a special natural disaster.

Some survivors saw endless ice winds sweep through the ground, then their partners were frozen and turned to snow.

Some survivors met the monster Elizabeth had seen, looking at the monster eating their friends one by one.

Some survivors started hallucinating. They saw countless demon butterflies flying in the air and taking living souls to the underworld.

The dangers in the Mist Tide wasn't always the same. Compared to having strong power, having strong luck was much more important when you tried to escape from the Mist Tide.

Though hero rank creatures couldn't escape alone from the Mist Tide either.

The more she discovered about the Mist Tide, the more Elizabeth understood how ridiculous her dream of forming a new caravan and travelling around the world was.

Every year, there would be over one third of the caravans and one-tenth of the entire world’s population that disappeared in the Mist Tide.

Mist Tide was like an immutable rule in this world, swallowing living beings coldy and mercilessly.

Then, what can I do to change this rule? What can I do for a better world?

Mortals can't stop the Mist Tide. If I become stronger and stronger and obtain the great Water God's blessing, can I change everything?

That day, Elizabeth lost her best friends and her dream, however, another dream was born in her heart.

She knew she could accomplish her wish someday, because she had the first Elizabeth's bloodline.

She wanted to change this world. She wanted to protect the people of the caravans!

There were many, many girls in this world who could become a travelling merchant.

However, there was only one "Elizabeth" who could become the Water God's High Priestess to protect people.

After realizing this, "Elizabeth" finally found the goal of her life.

I don't want to see "Mist Tide" happening ever again.

My bloodline protected me from the Mist Tide, therefore, there must be a reason for my survival.

While reading the record about the Mist Tide, Elizabeth moved her eyes to the Water God's Scepter, which could only be obtained by the Water God's High Priestess.

If I become the new Caelian Queen and obtain the scepter, can the power inside it help me find the secret of the Mist Tide and change this world?

She thought, then she did.

After giving up her dream of being a merchant, nothing could stop her now.

She came to a small village and became an unknown priestess. With that goal in her heart, she kept moving on her personal advancement.

Compared to other "Elizabeth’s", who were still being protected like princesses, she lived a hard life and put in ten times the effort.

Her talent wasn't the best amongst all the “Elizabeth’s”, but she was the hardest working one.

Finally, she succeeded.

At the age of 25, the previous Caelian Queen retired and all priestesses took part in the selective trial of the new Caelian Queen. As a black horse, she defeated all other candidates and ascended to the throne as the new Queen.

When she held the Water God's Scepter in her hand and shook the rings on it, she realized that she had obtained the key to change this world. Then, the first thing she did was to go to the most dangerous forbidden zone in this world.

It was an island in the northernmost part of the world, where it was covered with endless mist and was known as the origin of all Mist Tides in this world.

There, she witnessed a part of the Mist Tide’s truth and the deathless bone dragon.

Without any hesitation, she challenged the most horrible monster in the Mist Tide: the bone dragon.

Seven days and seven nights later, in order to escape from the bone dragon, she fell off into the sea and was saved by the Lamia Queen eventually.

"It's a forbidden zone, even to us Lamias. Don't make the same mistake again, because there exists a huge nightmare and is the Mist Demon's habitat."

Chapter 234: Her Wish

"You are the only person who is beloved by the Water God. Can you help me solve the biggest mystery in this world? If you can, I will marry you. I can agree to your proposal right now."

After telling the silver masked Apostle her past, the Caelian Queen sat beside the Apostle and looked at his mask.

"Mist Demon..." Yun Xi touched his mask with a complex look.

If I'm not wrong, the power in my White Emperor Mask is called "Infinite Mist Power", and it should be the biggest disaster in this world!

"Yes, I can sense the fear I had once tasted from your mask. As I remember it now, this world is blessed by the Water God, but also needs to undertake a corresponding curse. No one could obtain a god's love without any reason. As a price, we must fight against the monsters in the mist. Maybe we can't defeat the most dangerous Mist Demon, but I want to know what it is. At the very least, we should try and find a way to stop it." The Queen shook the Water God's Scepter with a sad look. The silver holy rings on the scepter reverberated with clear and melodious sounds.

From that year forward, this wish was always hovering in her heart. It was her biggest motivation to be the High Priestess and the deepest nightmare in her dreams.

In her dream, she was still the nine year old Elizabeth and had to watch her friends disappear one by one.

They were once so many vivid lives in this world, and now, they were just some cold words on the list of the Mist Tide's victims.

Why? This is a world that is blessed by the Water God. Why is there such a dreadful disaster?

What is in the sea area that is covered with endless mist? What is the thing that is causing the periodic disaster?

She thought that perhaps the Water God knew it, so she tried to be the High Priestess, because she wanted to get the answer from the god.

She wanted to be the person that was closest to the god, and she thought that she could achieve this goal eventually.

Unfortunately, she wasn’t the chosen one of this world. Even though she had become the Caelian Queen and the High Priestess, she couldn't go a step further.

She wasn't the god's most favorite one, neither the Lamia Queen nor the Mermaid Queen.

It is the silver masked Apostle. He is the one who is blessed and beloved by the god!

She finally realized that she couldn't achieve her wish by herself. Before that, she had wasted several days thinking about it. She was very confused and sad, and even started to doubt her faith in her god.

Finally, she found an answer for herself.

She wouldn't be the person who would solve the biggest disaster in this world, neither any other Water God's High Priestesses.

Only the silver masked Apostle could solve the mystery and change this world.

And now, this man was standing in front of her, close enough to touch.

"Is this okay? Is that all?" Yun Xi asked the Queen in an uneasy accent.

What a coincidence!

The Water God conferred me the unique White Emperor Mask, which could control the endless mist, and the Love System of the Stars also published a quest about the mist all over this world.

That is to say, even if the Queen didn't make this request, I will still go to find the Mist Demon and expose the secret in the mist!

"Yes, that's all I want. As long as you agree to my request, I will marry you, even if you failed to find the final answer eventually. I know I'm not as beautiful as the Lamia Queen, and I'm not as gentle as the Mermaid Queen, but I will do my best... to be your wife. As for the things you have done to the Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen... I will try to get accustomed to doing them." Speaking of this, the Caelian Queen's face turned bright red.

There was a very special interaction amongst the Sea Demon's Mirror, the Mermaid Queen's Relic and her Water God's Scepter. Therefore, more or less, she had vaguely known what had happened before.

"If this is what you want," Yun Xi took a deep breath and looked at the Queen seriously.

When he listened to the Queen's past experiences, he felt the strong emotions in her heart.

In other people's eyes, she was the unassailable Caelian Queen, but in her own heart, her life had ended "that day". Her life had been frozen at the age of 9, when her friends were swallowed by the mist.

In order to redeem the mistake, which actually wasn't her responsibility from the beginning, she did her best and finally became the Caelian Queen.

No one knew it was simply because she wanted to know the origin of the Mist Tide and what took away her friends' lives.

Her time had stopped since that day.

At this moment, in Yun Xi's eyes, she wasn't the Queen but just a nine year old little girl, unaided and restless.

I will change this. I will let the clock of her time turn again.

Since I have been conferred the White Emperor Mask, it won't be a problem to walk into the mist. Isn't it a nice sounding idea to help the Caelian Queen achieve her wish in the middle of my exploration?

"I promise. I will do it. I will find an answer for you," Yun Xi said with determination.

The Queen looked at Yun Xi and smiled.

Yes, this is it, the only solution to my befuddlement, wait and self-doubt!

The only way to accomplish my wish from the age of nine!

"Thank you. Then I agree. I will be your bride."

Putting down the Water God's Scepter, the Caelian Queen, the 13th Elizabeth gently kissed Yun Xi's lips.

Remember, the promise must be followed.

Chapter 235: Canary

For the first time, Elizabeth the Queen kissed someone. Naturally, her kiss was unpractised.

To her, this was a kiss, and also a promise which must be followed.

She wasn't as perfect as people thought. Even after becoming the Water God's High Priestess, the obsession in her heart never faded away.

I want to be the person who is closest to the god simply because I want to satisfy my self desire. As expected, such a woman won't be beloved by the god.

After realizing this, she gave up and put her hope on Yun Xi.

Since I can't do it, maybe he, the most beloved Apostle of the god, can accomplish it.

He had become her last hope.

"Sorry, I'm too cunning, but a human is such a strange creature. I can't be carefree like the Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen. I have too many responsibilities on my back. Even so, you still want to marry me? Can you accept such a woman like me?"

The Caelian Queen's confession was totally different than the Lamia Queen’s and the Mermaid Queen's. Yun Xi was like a mirror that had clearly reflected her weaknesses.

"No one is perfect in this universe. Even the supreme god also makes mistakes." Yun Xi stretched out his hand and held the Queen's frail hand tightly.

"Compared to you, I'm like a scumbag. I have had so many brides and I will still marry many more girls. As a human, I'm much worse than you."

The Caelian Queen looked at Yun Xi with a flabbergasted expression.

"What are you saying? You’re at the hero rank and beloved by the god, it's your responsibility to marry as many brides as you can. In order to fight against the Mist Tide, excellent men, especially hero ranked men, should do their best to leave their bloodlines in this world. It's a basic rule of our society. Don't you remember?"

Yun Xi was dumbfounded. Oh, I forgot this world's special environment!

"But, I will marry a million brides. A million women! Isn't that ridiculous?"

"If it's you, you have the right to do that. You are beloved by god, so you are doomed to change this world." The Queen held Yun Xi's hands and put them on the front of her chest, "Listen, these are my heartbeats."

Looking at the Queen with his scorching eyes now, Yun Xi's fingers moved across her soft peaks.

On the tall tower of the Water God temple, in front of the old big bell, the Caelian Queen's body was covered in the warm sunlight. Her soft breasts were half covered by the white priest robe but looked much more seductive.

The Queen looked at Yun Xi with her shy eyes and asked, "Is this what lovers should do?" She stretched out her fingers and pointed at Yun Xi's chin. Imitating Yun Xi's action, her fingers slowly moved down.

At the same time, Yun Xi's fingers had moved to the Queen's waist. The Queen stood on her toes and looked straight at Yun Xi's eyes. Finally, their fingers crossed together, feeling the hot temperature of each other's hands. Their faces were so close that they could even feel each other's breath. The Queen's eyes became slightly panicked, because she was obviously much more inexperienced than the Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen.

After all, the Lamia Race had a Demon Bloodline, and the Mermaid Race was a romantic race, but she, an aristocratic miss who was well educated, never learned any knowledge about love after 9 years old.

Since she wanted to be a Water God's High Priestess, then love was totally unnecessary for her.

Since she never even imagined such a thing, naturally, she wouldn't learn its knowledge.

Who would know that the High Priestess would marry the only man who was beloved by god?!

"No… what am I doing... I shouldn’t... be doing this!" Yun Xi suddenly breathed quickly. It seemed that the experience before had a very negative impact on him. He felt guilty in his heart.

I shouldn't treat her like the Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen. She is different. In some sense, her understanding about love is no different to a 9 year old girl's.

She is pure, innocent, cute and clumsy, but has a wonderful figure. Plus her saintly aura... they are all the elements that can make men become beasts!

From this angle, Yun Xi could clearly see her cute, shy face and her perfect body shape under her white priest robe.

He just touched the arcs of her breasts with his fingers, then he almost lost control of his desire.

"Don't repress yourself. I know, I should satisfy you at this time." The Queen remembered the knowledge she learned not long ago, then lowered her bright red face.

"Please keep going. We have not married yet, but I can do whatever the Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen had done. If I can't do that, it will be a dereliction of duty as the Water God's High Priestess."

Yun Xi swallowed as he looked at the Queen's delicate collarbone.

"En... ha..."

On the tall tower, which was in front of the public but also out of any person's sight, the saintly Queen emitted a seductive groan, as if a beautiful canary was singing.

Chapter 236: Blessing

The Ring of Blessing echoed above the city again.

People looked at the old bell tower one after another, offering their prayers to their god.

However, they felt slightly confused.

This time, for whom does the bell ring?

In the deep sea Water God temple, the Lamia Queen gazed at the scene in the Sea Demon's Mirror without blinking.

"Puff! Puff!"

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

In the crystal Mermaid Palace, the Mermaid Queen held the shell in her hands and listened the sweet sounds inside it with a look of ecstasy.

"Puff! Puff!"

"Ya! Ya! Ya!"

They knew the meaning of the bell clearly. They could hear its ringing.

In front of the old bell, the Caelian Queen looked at Yun Xi with her seductive watery eyes. Her face turned bright red and her lips were half open. Because Yun Xi's silver mask was condensing and spreading water mist, her beautiful hair was wet. The long hair swayed at her waist as her head lightly shook. Which looked pretty attractive.

Before too very long, her socks had been taken off and her slender legs exposed in the air. Under her white priest robe, they were a pair of little dainty feet.

The back of her feet were as white as snow, which looked so delicate that they would be easily hurt with the smallest amount of force. Her toes were pale and slightly pink with a light fragrance of orchid.

As she was kissed by Yun Xi, her toes curled, her legs stretched, and her waist stooped. The sensual scene and her seductive groans had all been seen and heard by the Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen.

It was a special effect of the three High Priestesses' Relics. At first, it was designed for connecting to each other when something important happened. However, a strange resonance happened and the three relics had stayed in communication for a few days. Due to this, the three High Priestesses had all known Yun Xi's intention when he first saw the Lamia Queen.

Compared to the enthusiastic Lamia Queen and the curious Mermaid Queen, as a human, the Caelian Queen had a special intellectual beauty.

Even though she was in Yun Xi's arms now, she still muffled her voice as if she didn't want to let Yun Xi hear her cute groans.

However, it wasn't a natural instinct that could be controlled consciously.

After a deep kiss, the Queen had almost become drunk.

Yun Xi lowered his head and kissed her lips, enjoying her sweet and smooth mouth.

The Queen half opened her mouth, seizing the opportunity, Yun Xi's tongue pushed between her white teeth and went deep into her mouth, tangling with her warm moist tongue.

As being guided by Yun Xi, the Queen gradually learned how to respond to his actions. Her small tongue tentatively touched Yun Xi's tongue and learned the right way of deep kissing. Her face turned bright red and her eyes became watery, finally, the beautiful Queen couldn't suppress her voice and groaned, as if a canary was singing.

Yun Xi's mind had almost been absorbed into the Queen's warm soft body. He stretched out his hands and gently touched her body, losing himself in the wonderful feel. Gradually, a special mark emerged out of the fourth horn on Yun Xi's White Emperor Mask. The fourth hero ranked Mist Soul was forming.

"Is this... love?" The Queen's body trembled. The strange, exciting touch was much too strong for her. So she felt uneasy and confused.

Her face blushed and her teeth chattered. Just for a while, she herself had almost become strange even to herself.

Yun Xi moved down from the Queen's mouth. He kissed her round chin, crystal neck, snow white chest, and finally went to her snow white peaks. Through the snow white priest robe, he opened his teeth and gently bit on her delicious fruits.

The Queen could no longer keep quiet and emitted a strong groan due to shyness.

The Queen's body quivered in Yun Xi's arms. Her white jade like skin had been covered with a layer of pink because of embarrassment.

Her saintly expression disappeared, and her current shy expression could make any man lose his head.

In the ringing of the bell, the Queen took off her last clothes.

The bell was ringing for her. It was a blessing for the most beautiful Queen of all mankind. It was to celebrate her rebirth from her frozen time.

Chapter 237: The Three Queens' Charm

When the Bell of Blessing rang, Yun Que was sitting in the Water God temple's library and dealing with the research related to Yun Xi.

For the first time, she knew how painful the meaning of "asking for trouble" was. By hook or by crook, she still needed to pay for her actions.

In order to defeat Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword, she concocted the "Expansion Plan of A Million Brides", at the same time, she had to help Yun Xi select his brides.

In the past few days, Yun Xi had captured the three High Priestesses' hearts one by one. As for her, she was busy at selecting brides for Yun Xi, which also meant selecting subordinates for herself.

In order to win the three High Priestesses' hearts, Yun Xi had put a great deal of time and effort into it, and she wasn't inferior in any respect. She hadn't slept in a few days.

When the bell rang, she knew the reason much clearer than anyone.

In addition to this, her sensitive ears could even vaguely hear the soft groans amongst the holy bells.

"That bastard. Has he really succeeded?" Yun Que raised her head and looked at the tall tower in surprise. Her sense of hearing was far higher than ordinary people, naturally, she knew who it was.

It was the Caelian Queen, the most honourable human in this city. As a woman who was thought as "unfathomable" in Yun Que's heart, she had also fallen into Yun Hai's arms.

The Lamia Queen had the strongest strength, the Mermaid Queen had the most perfect appearance, and the Caelian Queen had the highest intelligence. Even in Yun Que's eyes, they were a perfect "Golden Triangle".

The Caelian Queen was the youngest one amongst the three Queens, but she was also the most stable and the smartest one. If Yun Que didn't hear her "sounds" with her own ears, she wouldn't believe that such a Queen would fall into that scumbag’s , Yun Hai's hands so easily.

"Did I underestimate him? His talent for capturing girl's heart is too formidable!" Yun Que sighed in her heart as she remembered what that bastard had done to herself.

This world is too unfair!

While the bells echoed in the city, the girls from all over the world all knelt down besides the fountains and prayed to the Water God.

"Is there no end of it?" Yun Que's eyes were red and bloodshot from working nonstop on her plan. As the bell still rang with no sign of stopping, finally, she cursed in agony.

I know you are soooo awesome, that you can even capture the three Queens' hearts, but, can you stop flaunting it in this manner? Many girls who are listening to the bells are still underage, if they knew the truth about the bells, it would leave a shadow on their lives!

Yun Que had decided to hide this secret in the bottom of her heart forever, however, she still blamed it on Yun Xi.

That bastard, I won't see him again once I leave this world!

Incidentally, Yun Que had written all "Yun Hai"'s crimes in a black notebook, over seven pages!

...

"Are you satisfied?" After putting on her white priest robe, the Caelian Queen smiled, looking at Yun Xi's red face with interest.

"Sorry, I was too impulsive." Yun Xi apologized.

"No. That's what I'm here for. I must learn what the Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen had done," The Queen said seriously with a straight face.

Yun Xi looked at the Queen with embarrassment. He just taught the Queen a lot of knowledge which she would never find in any books.

The Queen's face also turned red. Compared to Yun Xi, her behavior just now was too immature, like a green olive.

That won't do! Her self-esteem as the strongest human High Priestess let her make up her mind to do what was necessary.

I must learn more knowledge about how to get along well with my lover!

Before this day, all her knowledge about love was from a prohibited book, which she secretly took away from the library: "The Shameless Demon and His One-thousand Daughters".

Reality had proved that the book was indeed useful. However, she was too immature to respond to Yun Xi enthusiastically like the girls in the book.

"Was my body good? I'm not bragging, but I'm called the most beautiful woman in the City of Water!" The Queen asked proudly. The flames in her eyes dazzled Yun Xi's.

It is the strongest human Queen's aura! “Yes, you are perfect!”, said Yun Xi.

Even if she just wanted to take revenge on the Mist Tide at the beginning, however, with such a simple obsession, she finally arrived at the end and became the Queen. Her charm had captured Yun Xi's heart.

She was mature and innocent, prideful and cute. The Queen was different from all girls Yun Xi had seen before.

The enthusiastic Lamia Queen.

The jealous Mermaid Queen, who likes to steal other people's lovers.

The saintly and innocent Caelian Queen.

For them, I will do my best to save this world!

For the first time, Yun Xi really started to learn how to feel about relationships in this world.

Chapter 238: A Good News and A Bad News

"Ok, I'm done!" Finally, Yun Que finished her primary selection for the candidates of the "Expansion Plan of A Million Brides".

From the records in the library, Yun Que found something special in this world.

The first several villages she had visited before were protected by the "Mountain Lord", so they rarely encountered the Mist Tide. Due to this reason, they could live a peaceful life and she didn't see anything abnormal in these villages.

In fact, the male to female ratio was very abnormal in this world.

The birth rates of male babies and female babies were the same, however, most males couldn't grow up peacefully. In some areas, 80% of the males would die before they reached adulthood.

It looked as if this world hated males... Yun Que sighed in her heart.

Compared to males, females were far more lucky in this world. At the very least, they encountered the Mist Tide less frequently than the males.

Perhaps it was because the Water God's Power was much easier to be inherited by a female's body. Therefore, females had it much easier surviving various dangers.

So it explains why males in this world can marry a lot of brides. If they didn't do it, humans would’ve already gone extinct many centuries ago.

"However, if this situation carries on, humans will still die out sooner or later." Yun Que deduced this world's future and had a very bad calculative result.

Those beings with the Water God's power could survive the Mist Tide. Since only females could inherit the Water God's power from generation to generation and males couldn't, the situation was very disadvantageous for males.

The first "Elizabeth" was a good example. She never married during her life, but her blood was said to be "the blood that is closest to the god", and it was inherited by the females of her family. Finally, the "Elizabethan Bloodline" was born.

After that, most Caelian Queens had the "Elizabethan Bloodline" in their bodies, and the few exceptions also had strong Water God power in their bodies.

"No wonder that the three High Priestesses would agree to such a ridiculous plan." Yun Que finally understood how supreme the Water God's power was in this world.

The Water God conferred "Yun Hai" the White Emperor Mask, therefore, he carried the strongest Water God's power on his body. In order to obtain the god's power from him, probably the females in this world could forgive whatever he had wanted to do and done.

Throughout the world out there, even the most prurient emperor didn't dare to marry a million girls. However, the people in this world were happy to see it happening.

"What a... ridiculous world!" Yun Que struck the table.

"I don't like this world, I don't like this result. This is not 'justice'!"

Yun Que ground her teeth and clenched her fists.

I will make this bastard pay for his crimes sooner or later!

"Yun Que, you are here?..." Yun Xi looked at Yun Que in confusion.

He thought that Yun Que looked different today. This was the first time, Yun Que looked... so angry.

"Sorry, I just lost my temper. Oh, congratulations! You have finished capturing the three High Priestesses' hearts. You are really a 'competent scumbag'!" Yun Que looked at Yun Xi coldy and sneeringly.

Yun Xi smiled bitterly. Didn't you tell me to do this? Why are you so angry now?

In fact, the whole thing was still going well before I proposed to the three High Priestesses.

"Any news about Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword?" Yun Xi tried to move his attention to their most dangerous enemy, the Sky Sword.

Even though he had four hero ranked fiancees, he still didn't know whether he could survive any of the Sky Sword's attacks.

Sky Swords were the strongest people in the Sky Sword God's Domain. Any of them could destroy a whole world easily. If Yun Xi didn't get help from the Water God, he didn't think that he would have made it till now.

"I have a good news and a bad news. Which news do you want to listen to first?" With her hands on her chin, Yun Que looked at Yun Xi with a cold smile.

"Bad news first." Yun Xi only hoped that the bad news wasn't too desperate.

"Ok, some people had witnessed the first Golden Slime King, which means that the Sky Sword's coming has entered the third phase." Yun Que sighed. As expected, it wasn't likely to slow down the Sky Sword's coming by sweeping up the common green slimes.

Slimes weren't only living on the ground.

In the rivers, seas and caves, as long as there were water and nourishment, the low-grade monsters could always survive and produce offspring.

The only way to stop the slime race from proliferating was to find all their nests and exterminate them with a powerful army, but that was impossible!

"Then, what's the good news?" Yun Xi sighed with emotion. As expected, the Sky Sword's power was far beyond his imagination.

Thinking of this, he habitually pinched the green slime bracelet on his arm. His Water Mist Field automatically collected the slimes, condensed them and formed them into the bracelet these days. He had been used to wearing the bracelet on his arm every day.

"The good news is: we are not inferior to the Sky Sword's camp!" Yun Que smiled with pleasure.

I didn't expect there would be such a strong force in the Water God's world!

Chapter 239: The Water God's Song

"Under the command of the Water God's priests, the girls who believe in the Water God can form a special spell formation called 'the Water God's Song'."

"If a Water God's Song was formed by a thousand ordinary girls, then its power would be stronger than most hero ranked monsters. The only shortcoming of this special spell formation is that its members must work in coordination, so they need to practice a lot for it, and if a member died, the special spell formation's power would be greatly reduced."

Yun Que gazed at Yun Xi and continued, "This time, we have a million bride candidates, and the three strongest High Priestesses. Our biggest advantage is: they are immortal in your Mist Soul Army! In this case, the Water God's Song's biggest shortcoming has been offset. As long as you're not dead, the Water God's Song won't stop."

Yun Que said with enthusiasm as her eyes brightened up. The girls' bloodlines could resonate with each other, forming a power that was greater than most hero ranked beings'. Yun Que thought, that if she didn't come to the Water God's world, she would never have imagined of its existence.

The Water God's Song was such a miraculous trump card, which was created to fight against the monsters from the Mist Tide.

In Caelian, there were three standing teams of one thousand priestesses. In peaceful time, they would practice the Water God's Song together, and when the Mist Tide appeared, they would go to fight the monsters in the Mist Tide.

"Teams of priestesses? Does that mean..." Yun Xi had a guess.

"Yes, the three High Priestesses are the three teams' leaders. It's really a good deal having their support!" Even though she hated Yun Hai's shameless and salacious personality, she had to admit that he did the right thing.

"With their help, we can form a Water God's Song that is over ten thousand people. It's really good that we have earned their trust."

"So, they are so good..." Yun Xi murmured as he remembered the three Queens faces.

"Are you ready?" Yun Que picked up the portraits on the table. They were the portraits of the most excellent girls Yun Que had specially selected for Yun Xi, who would become the core members of Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army.

Even Yun Que had to admit that the Water God's world had too many excellent girls. They were the hope and the future of this world!

Again, Yun Que sensed the Water God's favour in Yun Xi. He really was being loved by the god and this world.

"Yes, since this is my mission, since I'm the only person who can do it, then, I will shoulder this mission’s responsibility and do whatever I can do to save this world!" Yun Xi could see that Side Quest Four was shining in his Starchild Love System.

To love, Starchild!

To witness and experience this fantastic world, then find the truth.

Only in this case, will you know how to love.

"The plan will start tomorrow." Yun Que put a pile of documents in front of Yun Xi. Although she felt sick to do it, she still did her best to help Yun Xi.

For victory, she could agree to Yun Xi's proposal with her true identity and become the commander of the Mist Soul Army.

In order to become stronger, she could accept and even make use of this world's ridiculous rules.

"Ah, a million brides! I will try my best." Yun Xi looked through the portraits.

He knew he wasn't really going to marry a million girls. After he finished his quests in this world and left, they would all wake up into the real world and forget the things that happened in this world.

However, Yun Xi wouldn't forget them.

At the very least, they were here now. They were breathing the same air and feeling the same sunshine with him.

He would propose to them tomorrow.

This night, many people wouldn't go to sleep.

...

In the Lamia Race's cave.

"Our Queen has stolen the Apostle's heart! She is too experienced!"

"I also want to do ‘this thing’ and ‘that thing’ with the Apostle!"

"Feya wants to grow up quickly!"

The Lamias chattered. They had made a unanimous decision that tomorrow, they would propose to the Apostle together at the ceremony.

...

In the Mermaid’s palace, a group of Mermaids gathered around the Mermaid Queen and listened to her story with the Apostle.

"Oh, my friends, I'm sorry, but I won't give him to anyone else!"

"We have been best friends since our childhoods, but I won't share him with you."

"Forgive me. For love, I can give up anything."

The Mermaids really liked to experience sad love.

...

Finally, in the Caelian Queen's family.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Our Queen has decided to marry the Apostle."

"Our Queen is the god's priestess. If our god wants to see 'that future', then our Queen must respond to the Apostle's expectations."

"The most honorable Apostle has appeared. You all know what that means."

"All Elizabethans, play your cards right."

"The Water God's Song will never stop."

Chapter 240: The Little Rabbit in the Morning

"Dang! Dong! Ding!" The Bell of Blessing echoed in the sky above the city again.

This time, the bell wasn't ringing for anyone, but for a thing that nobody had guessed.

Apart from the three High Priestesses, Yun Que and Yun Xi, no one had ever imagined such a thing.

Yun Xi opened his eyes. He turned his head and looked at Lu Lu, the scenes from last night still hovered in his mind.

After having relationships with the three High Priestesses, his self-control had been greatly reduced. Last night, he went back to his room and found that Lu Lu was sleeping in his bed. Vaguely, he took her as one of the three Queens.

When he realized that the feet in his hands were too pure and tender, which obviously did not belong to any of the three Queens, Lu Lu was almost on the verge of tears.

However, much to her credit she didn't run away. She was frightened, but she still painstakingly kept her voice down. Her whimpering, and the warm feel of her skin had all worked together to make Yun Xi to lose his mind.

Her feet were small, but the feel was unbelievably good. Her white toenails were as cute as a row of pearls. As her two crystal like small feet shook in his hands, her body trembled as if she was a poor scared little doggy.

Her cute face was as sweet as fruit sugar, and her lips were as juicy as cherries. Yun Xi thought that he could taste them all day and would never feel bored.

The result was: Yun Xi didn't sleep all night. Although he finally stopped before taking the last step, he had done everything else apart from that.

Yun Xi clearly knew that he shouldn't taste this "fruit", but as guilt filled within his heart, he still failed to resist Lu Lu's temptation.

As for Lu Lu, when Yun Xi held her feet in his hands, she had already given up resisting and let Yun Xi taste her lips fully.

Before she had stealthily walked into Yun Xi's room, she went to the Water God temple's fountain and bathed her body in the medicinal herbal water. As the result, her skin was as smooth as silk fabrics, and also as sweet as creme brulee. The aroma of herb covered her whole body.

Yun Xi put down Lu Lu's feet and put his hands on her shoulders. His lips gently stroked Lu Lu's lips, then covered her mouth tightly.

Their tongues tangled together. Lu Lu's saliva was as sweet as honey, letting Yun Xi drunkenly suck her tongue for more.

Symbolically, Lu Lu slightly resisted him. She softly put her hands on his chest and nudged him, but her innocent clear eyes had already closed and waited for Yun Xi's next assault.

Her long eyelashes fluttered as her body struggled in Yun Xi's arms. However, how could her teeth stop Yun Xi's experienced kiss? After a few tries, Yun Xi's tongue had opened her teeth and tasted her tongue with abandon.

As her body become hotter and hotter, finally, she was lost in the great pleasure and forgot everything else. As her toes curled and straightened, her legs subconsciously kicked in the air.

"Oh, Apostle... don't please... I'm afraid..." Lu Lu entreated.

In the end, she wasn't a non-human like the Lamia Queen nor the Mermaid Queen, and she didn't have a strong will like the Caelian Queen. Before she became a member of the Starwing Knights, she was just an ordinary girl.

If she didn't go to the small village and take part in the Sword Palace Examination, probably she would have married someone in her hometown.

Most female swordsmen who couldn't pass the Sword Palace Examination would marry someone sooner or later, because the fact of "failing to be selected" has proved that they didn't have a future in the path of the sword. Not everyone was as talented as Xiao Cao, who could step onto her own hero's journey with her mortal's sword.

After waking up in the Water God's world, Lu Lu became a talented pharmacist and had found her own hero's journey. But in a natural way, she was still that normal, innocent girl.

While she was really facing the most important moment in her life, she was so nervous that she could barely speak.

"Oh..." Listening to her entreaty, Yun Xi finally realized that she wasn't like any of the three High Priestesses.

She wasn't a native of this world, so she wouldn’t be charmed by the Water God's power on his body. When she agreed to his proposal, she really thought that she would be his wife forever.

No matter how many lovers he had obtained through the three High Priestesses, in Yun Xi’s heart, Lu Lu was still his first fiance. She was still that pharmacist girl who bravely responded to his proposal first.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Yun Xi's look, toned down as his desire had also drained away. He drew back his hands from her shoulders and put them back onto her feet.

"No... it's just... too fast. I'm not prepared yet. My Apostle, can you give me more time?" Lu Lu blushed as her feet trembled in Yun Xi's palms.

Her shy face was so cute, as if she were a little rabbit that was going to be eaten by the big bad wolf.

Chapter 241: Sailing Jellyfish's Robe

After "enjoying" the little rabbit, the new day had begun.

With the young Water God's priestesses' help, Yun Xi put on a long robe, which he had never seen before but he thought that it must be very valuable. After putting the green slime bracelet on his arm, Yun Xi looked at the mirror. He could barely recognize that "that man" in the mirror was himself.

This robe was made of a fantastic deep-sea creature's exuviation. It had light silver color, which looked to be a perfect fit with Yun Xi's White Emperor Mask.

The deep-sea creature was called "Sailing Jellyfish" and it was sacred in this world, because all sea demons, including Mermaids and Lamias, saw it as a symbol of the great Water God.

Sailing jellyfishes would moult their shells every other one thousand years. The Mermaids would collect their shells to make robes. Till now, there were only four complete Sailing Jellyfish's Robes in this world.

The first three robes were the Mermaid Queen's Rochet, the Lamia Queen's Campaign Gown, and the Caelian Queen's Priestess Robe. Although their styles and colours were different, their raw materials were the same.

At this moment, Yun Xi was wearing the fourth robe, the treasure made by a part of the rarest fantastic creature's shell.

After putting on the robe, Yun Xi could feel that his control of the moisture in the air had been enhanced by 30%, and the robe could automatically filter harmful substances in the air.

Moreover, it seemed that this old robe could even increase its owner's aura. The three High Priestesses' robes could make them look more attractive, and Yun Xi's robe could make him look more handsome and mature. At the very least, when Yun Xi looked at the man in the mirror, he had a feeling that he could trust "this man" with all his heart.

The Sailing Jellyfish's Robe and the White Emperor Mask were really a match made in heaven!

Yun Xi habitually rubbed the green slime bracelet on his arm, then stood in front of the mirror alone, waiting for the coming ceremony. He looked at his mirror image and murmured to himself, "Yun Xi, you should know you are not fighting for yourself. You are fighting for this world, for the girls who have faith in you."

"Maybe the thing you are going to do sounds ridiculous, and it's indeed ridiculous, but, there is a reason."

"Since you have chosen this way, you must hold on to the very end! You shouldn't be afraid of anything now!"

Yun Xi clenched his fists. At this moment, on his White Emperor Mask, there were already four special marks on four of the six sharp silver horns.

The first mark was from the mysterious dark elf, the commander of his Mist Soul Army, Black Moon.

The second mark was from the enthusiastic Lamia Queen, the Queen of All Sea Demons, one of the top-class hero ranked beings in this world.

The third mark was from the jealous Mermaid Queen, the Queen of the Mermaids, the best harp entertainer in this world.

The fourth mark was from the human High Priestess, the ruler of the City of Water, the holder of the Water God's Scepter, the Caelian Queen.

After obtaining the four brides, he ranked his fiance's' power, and even Yun Xi himself didn't know how strong he was now.

Every minute and every second, he could perceive that his Mist Soul Army was becoming stronger and stronger.

Why did the stars create this trial world? What could he obtain from this world?

He had a feeling that he would know the truth soon after today.

"Huff!" Yun Xi took a deep breath, then walked out of the door.

"The Apostle..." Lu Lu looked at Yun Xi with her gentle eyes.

"Yo, give me some bread! I won't let you go before you give me bread!" Ling Ling laughed. She still behaved so carefree.

"Are you ready? Oh my, how many brides do you want to have? You have called so many unmarried girls!" Mei Lan complained, but Yun Xi knew that it was her special way of showing her care.

Apart from the twin witches, Hua Huo, Hua Yue and Xiao Cao, all the girls of the Starwing Knights had gathered together here today.

Yun Xi understood that they should have joined the Sky Sword's camp. In fact, if the Water God didn't find him directly and chose him to be its Apostle, he should also be in the Sky Sword's camp now.

Yun Xi had never imagined that someday, he would fight against his unbeatable childhood sweetheart: Hua Huo.

Unfortunately, from the beginning, he had no choice.

"I hope that Hua Huo will never know what has happened in this world." Yun Xi prayed, although he knew that it was just an unrealistic fantasy.

He knew that Hua Huo would definitely go crazy if she knew what he had done.

And the thing he was going to do today, would make Hua Huo explode like an erupting volcano.

"Apostle, everything is ready."

"Please convey your true love to them all!"

"You will be pleased no matter what kind of bride you want!"

The young priestesses still didn't know Yun Xi's plan. They looked at him with expectation.

Several of them were "Elizabethan". In order to let them serve Yun Xi, their families had gone out of their way to make an effort to help the cause.

In fact, all unmarried girls in this world had been tempted by Yun Xi's proposal ceremony.

To the people in this world, the Water God was their supreme lord, naturally, the Water God's Apostle was very special and worthy of mentioning.

"Thank you." Looking at the priestesses, who had been selected to be his Mist Soul Army's future commanders by Yun Que, Yun Xi thanked them in a relaxed tone.

The last moment had finally begun.

Go ahead, Yun Xi!

Chapter 242: The Girls Who are Studying Hard

In Caelian.

The Caelian Queen, the Lamia Queen, the Mermaid Queen, their people, and the girls from all over the world, were gathering together on the square in front of the Water God temple.

For Yun Xi's plan, the Caelian Queen even ordered all the residents to pull all the buildings around the Water God temple, and finally built this special square. It was so large that it contained dozens of fountains and spread all the way to the seashore.

Beside the sacred fountains, humans, Lamias, Mermaids and all the girls of other races gathered together in groups based on their races. They chatted about this special ceremony with excitement.

This world never had a ceremony called "The Water God's Apostle's Proposal Plan", and probably would never have another again.

"Did you hear about it? The Apostle is a very excellent, handsome and mature man!"

"Yes, yes, I saw him once from a distance. His silver mask is very cool!"

The human girls gleefully talked about Yun Hai, especially the girls who had seen the Apostle before. But everyone who hadn’t were feeling jealous.

Compared to them, the Lamias looked much more leisurely, because they had already known the result many days ago. Therefore, when they looked at the human girls' nervous expressions, they laughed in their hearts.

As for the topic they were talking about, it was slightly "adults only".

"Feya, we will teach you the knowledge of being a Lamia lady."

"The first night with your lover is very important. You must do you best."

"The Apostle is protected by the great Water God's power, so you don't need to worry about his body. The only thing you need to consider is how to enjoy your first night." Although the Lamias were just some armchair strategists who had no practical experience, it wouldn't stop them from teaching poor young Feya what she should do during her first night.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" Feya blushed. Her tail wagged, espousing her excited heart.

I’m finally learning the special wooing of us Lamias! So this is the secret, this is what I should do!

"Feya, come here, this is the textbook." Looking around and making sure that no one else was looking at this place, the oldest Lamia put a book into Feya's hands.

"The Shameless Demon and One-thousand Princesses" was the textbook's name. Looking at this precious prohibited book, Feya realized that her sisters finally considered her as an adult.

In the past, when she found this book, her sisters stopped her and told her "You are too young to read it".

After opening the first page of this prohibited book, Feya had been shocked by the erotic illustration and the exciting description. A brand new world was slowly opening in front of her.

Is this the adult's world? It's so exciting and tempting!

...

Amongst the Mermaids, a similar thing was happening.

"Those Lamias are serious!"

"Be quick, be quick, who has our precious prohibited book? We Mermaids can't lose to those brainless Lamias!"

"It's our destiny to steal a Lamias' lover!" The Mermaids had a natural sense of competition with the Lamias. Although their Queens were friends, they didn't mind trying to hamper the Lamias.

"I found it! I found it! Be careful, it's a very rare book!"

"Hum, 'The Shameless Demon and His Sisters' Secret Garden'. Yes, this is it!"

"I heard that there were more books of the Demon Series. These illustrations are great! They must be an artistic master's masterpieces!"

"Even in the whole world, there are not too many books of this series. Little girls, come here and study!" The Mermaids said with enthusiasm. Hearing their conversation, even the girls of other sea demon races also stealthily looked at the book.

Their races weren't as privileged as the Lamia Race and the Mermaid Race. Most of their partners weren't even intellectual, because only very few sea demons could gain intelligence and know how to turn into human form.

Based on their living areas, the sea demons in shallow seas would become Mermaid’s subordinates and the sea demons in deep seas would become Lamia's subordinates.

They also found a similar book in their race's treasure cave.

Just like the Lamia's book and the Mermaid's book, it was also a real original book from a real drawing master.

"Is this the method of how humans copulate?"

"That posture... is embarrassing!"

"Will we do the same thing every night after we marry the Apostle? But, my race can produce descendants simply by exchanging each other's genes!"

The sea demon girls talked with each other and passed around for perusal the book called "The Shameless Demon and Monster Girls' Game".

It seemed that all the races in this world had a book of the Demon Series.

They were prohibited books, but also excellent beginner books.

At any rate, from the girls' red faces and pounding hearts, these books were very effective.

After a while, a special aura spread around the girls in the square.

Chapter 243: A Million Brides

Time moved forward, second by second, and would never stop for any reason.

The moment of fate had finally arrived.

With the silver mask on his face and the sacred robe on his body, Yun Xi was clustered about by the three High Priestesses as he stepped on the stage of his life.

When he appeared on the stage, which was specially built for this ceremony, he caused a sensation to ripple throughout the city.

For most people, this was the first time they saw a real Apostle with their naked eyes. Even in all history, this Apostle would be one of the highest ranking of the Water God's servants.

Especially the young priestesses from the temples all over the world. When they saw Yun Xi's silver mask, they couldn't help but put their palms together and prayed devoutly.

"Oh, is he the legendary Apostle? He is young!"

"But he looks so mature! Does such a great Apostle really need to look for brides himself?"

"If the girls who want to marry him lined up, the queue could probably crowd the streets to overflowing!"

Most people hadn't known of Yun Xi's true plan. They just chattered with each other and looked at the Apostle in surprise.

Even though they had seen the Apostle's portrait on the notice board before, many people still thought that the portrait was "for reference only". Since this Apostle even went to look for brides personally, his true appearance must be very "special".

Of course, it wasn't a big deal. Since he was the great Water God's Apostle, his appearance would be the smallest novelty in their minds.

The Apostles in the past were all elders ,who never cared about secular affairs. Therefore, this Apostle was very special, and they would do everything to butter him up.

For this moment, the one million bride candidates on the square were all the most excellent girls in this world. In order to respond to his wish, they came to this city from all over the world.

Humans, Lamias, Mermaids, and all the other races had all chosen their most beautiful unmarried girls. As the most predominant race, humans had almost sent all unmarried girls to the city.

No one there was forced to be here. All these girls came prepared to fight for the right of becoming the Apostle's brides.

There were a million girls in this city. No matter how many girls the Apostle would marry, there would be no doubt that most girls would come back home empty-handed. Therefore, the competition would undoubtedly be very fierce.

This was the foremost thought in most people's hearts.

However, they were ready for it!

Come on, no matter what dire condition they would face, none of them would give up!

What's the best bride in the Apostle's heart like?

The Apostle likes a girl who is good at cooking, martial arts, divine spells, or…

No matter what kind of girls the Apostle likes, I won’t lose to anyone!

The girls all had so much confidence in their hearts.

...

On the stage, Yun Xi took a deep breath.

Today, there were a million girls here. Although it was just Yun Que's ridiculous plan at the first, he didn't think that it could happen. Nevertheless, it was really allowed in this world, and reached this point, by going step by step.

Now, he would perform the most important step in the whole plan.

"Thank you, thank you for coming, thank you for listening to my words."

"I say to you today, my friends. That, I have a dream, a very special, even a strange dream."

"Today is a special day for me." Yun Xi stretched out his hands. The green slime bracelet turned into a green light and circled around on his fingertip.

"I am looking for my bride, and I will sign a contract of "never being separated" with her."

"From today on, I will love her and take care of her. Where she goes, I go. If I leave, she leaves. I will love her, comfort her, respect her, protect her as my own. For better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor and cherish, till death do us part, we will never be separated."

"As long as the sun will still rise, I will offer you the warmest home."

"If possible, can you all agree to my proposal?"

"The girls who are listening to my words, please make your choice!"

A continuous mist spread around from Yun Xi's White Emperor Mask. At the same time, from the fountains and from the streams, there was also a continuous mist rising into the air.

This was an unprecedented proposal in this world's history. One to one million!

As his Water Mist Field spread in the air, Yun Xi had a mental bond with all the girls on the square. There was a fine, transparent thread of mist amongst all the girls and himself.

They were the strings made by Yun Xi's White Emperor Mask, which would change the whole world forever.

Listening to Yun Xi's marriage proposal, the three High Priestesses looked at each other and smiled. The Lamia Queen stepped forward first.

The High Priestesses were the strongest beings in this world, apart from this, they also had the best singing voices.

The Lamia Queen faced the public and started singing her song of love.

The song was about a princess meeting a prince, and its name was "Dark Princess"!

"I wandered in the darkness... I once dreamed, of a whisper..."

"Now, I see the road. Is that my fate? At the very least, at this moment, let me open my arms for you..."

"This fantastic dream, my downtrodden wings, I will lower my head in the darkness, awaiting your coming."

"My tears wash my hands, my lips quiver in the darkness."

"Come to me! Look at me! Treat me as the finest princess in all the universe, my prince!"

"Though I be covered with cuts and bruises, I will never betray our love."

"As long as I can stay beside you, darkness and sadness could even become warm."

"This searing yearning will witness our love."

"Our love will turn into light, ignite the darkness and achieve immortality!"

The princess was imprisoned on the tall tower day after day and year after year. She waited for a miracle. In the dark flames, she was finally saved by the prince from the endless cycle of time. This was the Lamia Queen's love song for Yun Xi.

The Lamias and other girls of deep sea races raised their hands.

The threads amongst them and Yun Xi shook and turned into one beautiful crystal ring after another. They were the tokens of their love, they were these girls' answers.

"The next is my turn." The Mermaid Queen also stepped forward and began to sing.

Compared to the Lamia Queen's song, the rhythm of her song was more sad, which was a perfect fit for the Mermaids' romantic aura.

The song was called "The Lost Petal".

"My lover flew away from my hands along with the wind. It rolled in the air and flew to the sky, disappearing from my sight."

"The tree was engraved by the facts of our lost future. The spring has changed the world, the death of fall is coming."

"The flowers in full bloom are much more beautiful than the wind. Even if their petals have been destroyed, even if they have been forgotten, I will still follow the traces, looking for the fragments of my yearning."

"I collect the petals carefully, waiting for the next spring."

"My lover, when will you come from my dream and hug me again?"

"Answer me if you can hear my song."

"Come back to me if you can feel my heartache."

"My lover, I will always be waiting for you."

It was a song of a broken hearted girl. That was sad, but with hope, filled with uneasy expectations. More than thirty percent of the girls cried after listening to its rhythm.

Then, they raised their hands. Those girls who had hesitated before, finally gave Yun Xi their answers.

One hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand... the number of his brides was increasing rapidly, in Yun Xi's Starchild Love System. While the last and the most venerable Queen, the best known Caelian Queen came on the stage, the atmosphere reached its highest point.

The Caelian Queen was just a human, naturally, her voice couldn’t be as charming as the Lamia Queen's or the Mermaid Queen's, because as sea demons, their voices could go beyond the limit of mankind’s hearing.

Therefore, she must be more empathetic and keep her focus on the song, so that she could touch people's hearts with her voice like the other two Queens.

Her song was called "The Rhythm of Love".

"My past dreams wandered in the night's arms, my cute lover, help me look for my road. If this is our fate, let's go on our way."

"In my eyes, you are the sunlight through the leaves. You bring me courage and smiles, I can feel the transcendent love in your body. I smile under the sky, because you are with me. My song is the token of my love, and I believe that you can hear my feelings across time and space."

"Happiness, sadness, worry, they are the rhythms of love. Any time, any place, my song will be with you. I was born for you, I'm singing for you. The rhythm is flowing in my heart, listen to it, my love!"

Five hundred thousand, six hundred thousand, seven hundred thousand!

In the sound of the Caelian Queen's singing, a great amount of power flocked into Yun Xi's body. He could clearly feel the terrible energy waves through the mask on his face.

Finally, the harvest time had begun.

He had created this miracle with his own hands!

With the three High Priestesses' help, Yun Xi reached an achievement that perhaps no one had ever achieved in the whole universe.

A million brides!

As being surrounded in the countless mist, one beautiful girl after another raised their hands with expectations in their hearts.

"I really am a... liar." Feeling the powers that were flowing into his body, Yun Xi didn't look happy, but mocked himself.

Yun Que's plan had a drawback that it would take Yun Xi too much time if he proposed to the girls one by one. Therefore, they finally decided to let Yun Xi propose to the one million girls on the square together. In order to accomplish this, they had paid with a great deal of effort.

And now, they finally got their efforts rewarded!

This was Yun Que's Expansion Plan of A Million Brides! Especially tailored for Yun Xi!

Chapter 244: You Will Be the Emperor

This day had become the most fantastic day in this world's history.

In front of the old Water God temple, countless fountains sent water columns skyward from underground. Voluminous mist spread throughout the city, making it the City of Mist.

In the Water Mist Field, a million beautiful girls were making their answer.

"I'm willing to take this honour. I'm willing to be your bride. Thank you for choosing me. I will be your power in return for your love. I swear to the great Water God, I will be the Apostle's wife forever!"

The girls' voices echoed through the sky, hovering around the old City of Water like a million beautiful melodies.

One white hand after another raised in the air with expectation and longing in these girls’ hearts.

One crystal ring after another appeared on these beautiful girls' fingers.

They were the proofs of their oaths, and the signs of their accomplished marriage contracts.

They accepted Yun Xi without reservation. When even Yun Xi himself didn't believe that he would succeed, their trusts, made this plan come true.

There were over a million girls who had arrived at this city, and there were only dozens of girls who refused his proposals.

Yun Xi could sense a very weird aura from these girls' bodies. As they disappeared suddenly and mysteriously, Yun Xi understood who they were.

Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's coming had reached the last phase. Her will could even interfere with the reality now.

The girls who just disappeared suddenly should be the slimes who had transformed into their human forms!

Apart from these "girls", all girls on the square said "I'm willing to marry you!" to Yun Xi.

Their faith in the Water God and the three High Priestesses' songs impressed them. The girls in the Water God's world were all innocent and cute. None of them doubted whether Yun Xi was lying.

"In order to save this world, I have to deceive them. Then, am I wrong or is it this world's fault?"

Yun Xi looked puzzled. He thought that he understood the stars' quests better.

Love is wonderful and sweet. He never doubted his love to Hua Huo.

However, his understanding about this world and "love" had been changed.

Loves were different.

There was "everlasting love of couples" in this universe.

There was "loyal love to the god" in this universe.

There was "jealous and uneasy love" in this universe.

"Love" wasn't a single property. It could be rendered as all kinds of emotions.

"Marriage" wasn't one-to-one in this world just like the custom in the Sky Sword God's Domain. Instead, it was one-to-many.

He had married a million brides in this world. If even such a "love" was allowed in this world, then what couldn't be accepted?

It seemed that the stars were using this method to teach him what "you should accept all kinds of love” means.

However, the "love" in the eyes of the stars was too different from the love in human's eyes!

Marry a million girls? It's just ridiculous!

Yun Xi felt as if he was dreaming when this unprecedented miracle came true.

"Well, well, from now on, you will take responsibility for us Lamias. Of course, as their Queen, you should care for me more, but it doesn't mean you can be 'bad' to the rest of your wives!"

The Lamia Queen looked cheerful. After losing the sailing jellyfishes over a century ago, finally, the Lamia Race embraced hope again.

"The Lamias are too pushy, but I'm different. Don't forget to look for me when you are free!" The Mermaid Queen teased.

"This aura is strange, but not bad, isn't it?"

The Caelian Queen coughed. Obviously, she had noticed the strange aura between the Lamia Queen and the Mermaid Queen.

"From now on, we will put the fate of this world in your hands. You have been accepted by the three Queens and have the White Emperor Mask. Starting today, you will become the Emperor of the entire World!"

"What?!" Yun Xi was dumbfounded.

"You have married a million girls! If you aren’t the Emperor, then who can be the Emperor?" The Lamia Queen stood to Yun Xi's right.

"Yes, if you aren’t the Emperor, it would be very strange!" Not giving the slightest concession, the Mermaid Queen stood to Yun Xi's left.

"As the leader of mankind and the Caelian Queen, I witness the birth of the Emperor of the World!"

The Caelian Queen walked to Yun Xi. She half knelt and kissed Yun Xi's hand.

"As the leader of the deep sea demons and the Lamia Queen, I witness the birth of the Emperor of the World!"

The Lamia Queen also lowered her head and kissed Yun Xi's hand.

"As the leader of the shallow sea demons and the Mermaid Queen, I witness the birth of the Emperor of the World!"

Finally, the Mermaid Queen also knelt and offered her blessing to Yun Xi.

The Bell of Blessing resounded across the skies!
