Chapter 196: Tricking the Mermaid

‘I’m wrong. She’s a mermaid. Of course she’s willing to continue.’

September 1, 10th game cycle, player world.

At midnight, under the dim light of the bedroom, Li Feng pulled the mermaid sitting on him down.

The mourning priest was willing to continue, but that didn’t mean he was willing to be a scapegoat.

The mermaid who was pulled to the bed was a little surprised and at a loss. She followed the experience and teachings of her people, but it seemed that she failed.

And it was very clear that she was the only mermaid who failed, the kind that was enough to be recorded in history.

“Let’s make a deal. I’ll send you back to the Endless Sea, and you give me that half of the godhead.”

Li Feng stood up and looked back at the mermaid on the bed.

The mattress was too soft, and her fish tail was too wide, which made the mermaid’s sitting posture not very coordinated. She was leaning forward and supporting the bed with both hands.

Li Feng didn’t intend to talk nonsense with her. He just wanted to get the godhead and complete the system task.

But it was obvious that the conditions he offered made the mermaid feel that he was not making enough money.

Lowering her head slightly, the mermaid's long eyelashes trembled slightly. After hesitating for a few seconds, she raised her eyes and asked in a low voice with anxiety and embarrassment:

"Will you like me?"

The mourning priests are not extraordinary yet. Because their race is cursed by the seven gods, they can only embark on the path of extraordinaryness if they get the true love of others.

"No."

Li Feng was straightforward.

He didn't want to be like Xia's ancestors, the young James, and the crew of the Sun.

The mourning priests who got a clear answer had a stagnant look in their eyes, and their hearts were obviously hurt.

Thinking about it, she thought that her question just now should be abrupt.

The situation she encountered belongs to the unknown area within the race.

After all, the predecessors of the same race have never been rejected by humans. Now she has no idea what to do.

Relying on her own analysis, the mermaid tilted her head and remained silent. The more she said, the more mistakes she made, so she only looked back at Li Feng with a dilemma.

Although she didn't say anything, her attitude was very clear.

She was not satisfied with the conditions offered by Li Feng, and she was unwilling to hand over the godhood.

Encountering such a thing, Li Feng was a little annoyed. He could not stay here and had to find other breakthroughs.

His eyes moved downward, passing over the mermaid's white neck and slender arms, and Li Feng's eyes fell on the red coral card quietly placed on the bed, and he became aware of it.

At the same time, the mourning priest also noticed that Li Feng's eyes had changed and fell on the heart coral where he lived, and suddenly understood his intention.

The mermaid's expression changed drastically, and she immediately rushed over to grab it, but she was still a step slower than Li Feng and only hugged the soft pillow.

"Think about it again."

Li Feng took all five cards in his hand. The one that was originally engraved with the mermaid was now blank because the mourning priest had awakened.

"You..."

Holding the soft pillow, the mermaid bit her lower lip and felt wronged and helpless.

Taking away her things, and asking her to think about it again...

'How can I think about it? This is clearly a naked threat!

He is a transcendent, I can't snatch him away, and what's more, he has no interest in me at all.

Oh, right, do I have to become a boy to be useful?

But, what is a boy like? He doesn't even show me. ’

Xueyu felt that today must be the most unsuccessful day in her life, and it also lowered the bottom line of the most unsuccessful deeds of the entire mermaid tribe.

‘But it doesn't matter, I still have a way. ’

Watching Li Feng leave the bedroom, Xueyu lay straight on the bed with a pillow in her arms, thinking carefully.

…

"Click."

Turning on the light in the study, Li Feng tried to put the coral card into the system backpack.

Strangely, these five cards that could not be put into the system backpack were easily put in today.

Li Feng guessed that it should be the mourning priest and the half of the godhead she protected were no longer on the card. The card lost its divinity or specialness before it could be put into the backpack.

After closing the backpack page where the cards were put away, Li Feng sat down at the desk.

In fact, he was not sure about the importance of the card to the mourning priest at first, but when he saw her trying to grab it, he knew it in his heart.

‘Today is September 1st, this cycle is still long, there is time to compete with her. ’

Li Feng took a pen and paper casually and planned to sort out what happened in the last cycle.

Especially the soul eater who was allied with the governor stole the cocoon. He asked Delana about this matter, but the result given by Delana made him a little worried.

While thinking about the cocoon problem, Li Feng suddenly saw the number of unread messages in the chat channel soaring.

In fact, every time a cycle ends and a new cycle begins, players will be more active.

But to be so active, something must have happened.

Opening the chat channel, Li Feng saw that some players seemed to have encountered urgent matters.

*: "Is the official player 97 here? I have something urgent!"

*: "No, dear."

*: "The official is not here, please help yourself if you have any problem.

ᕦ(･ㅂ･)ᕤ"

*: "It's late at night, aren't you guys sleeping?"

*: "I just experienced an exciting adventure, how can I sleep?"

*: "You——an adventure in the middle of the night?"

*: "No! Can you stop talking nonsense, I really have something to do!

By the way, 97 is not here, so if anyone has the official phone number, please send it out, I beg you!"

*: "What's the situation with you upstairs?"

Seeing that the man didn't seem to be faking it, some people began to care about him.

But it was obvious that the other party had some reservations and didn't want to say more, only asking for the official phone number.

Soon, although someone took advantage of the situation and sent a fake phone number, it was discovered by other players, and more people sent the correct number.

*: "The one who sent the fake number just now was too mean!"

*: "Is it from the Abyss?"

*: "Almost. My life was quite stable in the last cycle, and everything was on the right track. To be honest, I have forgotten the existence of the Abyss. It seems that I still have to be careful in the future."

*: "Life is stable? Then you are definitely not a seaman."

*: "Did anything happen at sea?"

*: "Nothing, there are just a lot of pirates who kill people but don't rob them recently."

*: "???"

Later, the day dawned in the group of friends' endless chatter, but Li Feng still didn't understand the whole story.

He only knew that the sea was not peaceful recently, and there were many looting and slaughtering of ships, and there were no witnesses so far.

Just as he was thinking whether to do a divination, a smell of food gradually drifted into the study.

Li Feng went out to see that the mourning priest had put away the fish tail, turned into a human form, and cooked a table of food. It seemed that she had been busy for several hours.

At this time, the priest was bringing the soup pot to the table. She was wearing a shirt of Li Feng.

But the mermaid had a small frame, and the men's shirt was long and wide on her. She rolled up her sleeves.

But Li Feng remembered clearly that there were pants in his closet.

"I made breakfast, come and eat."

As if there was no unpleasantness before, the mourning priest smiled brightly and asked Li Feng to come for dinner.

Suspiciously sitting down, Li Feng took the quickie handed over by the priest.

"What's your name?"

Li Feng asked.

"Xue Yu." The mourning priest explained with a smile: "It snowed on the sea on the day I was born, so the tribe leader named me Xue Yu." "Oh." Li Feng nodded indifferently and glanced at the breakfast on the table. These were all the specialties of his mother who was a good cook in his previous life. He picked it up and tasted it. The taste seemed... "Does it look like our mother's cooking?" Seeing Li Feng take a bite, Xue Yu blinked her peach-like eyes and asked with anticipation. Li Feng: "...That's my mother, not your mother." "You can also become my mother!" Xue Yu smiled sweetly. "...Heh." "By the way, I see that you are a very important priest, but why are you not a transcendent?" Li Feng was quite confused about this. Logically speaking, she must be a transcendent, holding a very important position and having the responsibility of protecting the divine nature. "Because of that..."

Xue Yu was a little embarrassed:

"Because it's a bit troublesome for mermaids to become extraordinary people, so... they are not suitable to be priests."

'Oh - that's right. '

Li Feng understood.

Without much hesitation, he continued to ask:

"How have you considered it?"

Li Feng was talking about the not-so-equal deal about godhood that he proposed a few hours ago.

"Well - the time for consideration is too short..."

Xue Yu was stunned for a moment, muttering softly, she obviously didn't think it through.

However, the mermaid's mind turned, and her pure and charming face became dissatisfied and disgusted:

"You are too fast, how can it be so short, I haven't reacted yet!"

Li Feng:...I am unlucky to have her.

"The cocoon imprisoned in the temple of Sunset Island was stolen."

Li Feng learned some information from Delana, and he was going to use it to do some research.

"Cocoon? ... Who stole it?"

Sure enough, after hearing about the cocoon, Xueyu was obviously more serious, although she didn't want to show too much concern.

"A person who is spying on the godhead under Storm Island. You may have heard of him. The Dragon Slayer Governor Pangloss Fell is also the owner of Storm Island."

Li Feng said casually while eating, as if he was talking about an established fact, but in fact he also had some guesses.

But the result of his guess did work. When Xueyu heard that it was the governor of Storm Island, the smile on her face froze for a moment.

She should have realized that things were developing in a direction she didn't expect.

"You should know that cocoon. He is the Lava Lord who was once sealed and sleeping by the angel."

While eating steamed dumplings, Li Feng glanced at Xueyu. Seeing that she looked more determined, he continued:

"The Governor is going to wake up the Lava Lord, break the ban set by Delana with the power of the Lava Lord, and get half of the godhood under the Storm Island.

Although I don't know whether the Lava Lord will obey the Governor's orders or agree to any agreement with the Governor after he wakes up.

But what is certain is that after the Lava Lord wakes up, he will definitely seek revenge on the mermaid who sealed him.

I think he will try his best to find the Tomb of Yinselalai and grind the angel to ashes.

As for the mourning priests guarding the tomb, they are not extraordinary people. At that time, they should be powerless."

The Tomb of Yinselalai is the tomb of the angel Yinselalai. She was once the most powerful angel and fell before the seven gods became gods.

Yin Sela sealed several lava lords during his lifetime, and the lava lord named Jian under the temple was one of them.

Later, the seven gods were promoted to gods, turned against the angels, cut off their wings and cursed them to become mermaids.

The mermaid chief moved Yin Sela's tomb, which was originally on the top of the holy mountain, to the deep sea.

In order to prevent anyone from prying into the treasures and secrets in the tomb, the mermaid hid the tomb that Yin Se had brought to her.

From then on, there was no trace in the deep sea.

No one can find it unless they have the right map.

Of course, the lava lord Cocoon, who harbors great resentment towards Yin Sera, might be able to find him.

After all, hatred and strength will support him to keep looking.

Li Feng learned about the lava lord cocoon through Delana.

Although Delana didn't plan to tell him at first, after all, those were the past events that had been buried for many years.

But when Li Feng told Delana about his unexpected experience in the temple, Delana realized the seriousness of the problem.

She had already thought of ways to inform her clan members just in case, but this did not prevent Li Feng from using it to scare Xue Yu.

"What you said makes sense, but what does this have to do with whether I will give you godhead or not?"

Xueyu's eyes flickered and she asked the question in her heart.

The tomb brought by Yin Sera is indeed extremely important to the mermaid tribe.

Not only because the ancestors of the mermaids buried in the tomb are the mermaid heroes.

More importantly, Yin Sera was still in the form of an angel when she died. She had wings and was not cursed.

Some divination said that she might be the key to the mermaid getting rid of the curse and returning to the sky.

Therefore, the mermaid tribe will definitely protect her and the tomb at the highest cost.

But what do these things have to do with Li Feng's need for divine power?

Xueyu admitted that he was a very powerful traveler and was promoted to a fourth-level hunter in a very short period of time.

But what can even a fourth-level hunter do when facing the lava lord and the governor of Storm Island?

"Yeah, it really doesn't matter."

Li Fengdan replied with a smile.

There are some things that cannot be said just with words. For example, right now, if Li Feng says something like, "Give me your godhead and I will help your mermaid tribe resist the lava lord."

Believe it or not, Xue Yu felt like he was falling behind.

Anyway, it’s still early in this cycle, so he still has ways.

"But then again, whether it's the Governor of Storm Island getting half of the godhead, or the lava lord and the mermaid going to war, what do these things have to do with me?

Even if I am a traveler, the God of Creation will always give me some revelations and hope that I will make some changes in the world, but she does not require me to complete those things.

After all, there are so many travelers, so she can give revelations to other travelers to help her followers. "

Within Xue Yu's understanding, Li Feng intentionally or unintentionally emphasized his identity as a traveler.

And seemingly imperceptible, the matter of obtaining the godhead to stop the Lava Lord is hinted to be a revelation given to him by the God of Creation.

It was the God of Creation who was guiding him and helping the mermaid, a believer in the God of Creation.

"I think you can probably tell that my life in my world and the world of the Endless Sea is pretty good."

While Xue Yu was wondering about what he just said, Li Feng continued:

“Who wants to take risks when we can get by.

Moreover, I just heard through the exchanges among travelers that the sea has not been peaceful these days, and there have been several ship robberies that involved killing people but not stealing goods.

Some travelers speculated that someone was using their souls to resurrect the cocoons. "

Like a summary, Li Feng stopped the topic after finishing his deceptive words, even though Xue Yu wanted to hear more.

Afterwards, Li Feng took out his mobile phone, opened a software, pushed it to Xue Yu, and said to her:

"Pick whatever you like and I'll pay for it."

Xue Yu hadn't yet reacted to what Li Feng had just said. She looked blankly at her phone, which displayed the women's clothing page of the shopping software.

"Ah this..."

After first pulling his thoughts away from the revelation of the God of Creation and the cocoon of the lava lord, Xueyu responded to Er before asking:

"Is it because...you don't like me wearing your clothes?"

"Inappropriate."

Li Feng answered briefly.

Just when Xue Yu hadn't figured out what kind of inappropriateness he was talking about, Li Feng put down Kuai Zi:

"I'm full. Thank you for the breakfast. It tastes great."

After saying that, he left the restaurant without looking back, leaving only the confused words of snow in his heart that were distracted by his thoughts.

‘He is lying to me, he must be deceiving me for the sake of his godhood. ’

Xueyu looked at the interface on her phone and thought to herself.

Just as she turned over it, her heart started to growl again:

‘But what if it’s true? After all... it’s such a big thing...

And he really knows a lot about cocoons and Yin Sera...'
