CHAPTER 392: CHAPTER 392: THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE 3RD PRINCE

An ability to influence the mind?

Zize’s body was on edge, fear swept over her heart in waves.

Such an ability is impossible to guard against, extremely bizarre.

The most important aspect is, being able to manipulate and control someone’s mind through mere conversation, what kind of perverse and terrifying ability is this?

"Looks like it failed."

Baiyu hadn’t expected the opponent to have such a countermeasure within them; evidently, manipulating giants is not something average for someone from the Demon Race.

But this was his first time using this ability directly.

An attempt.

Even if it failed, there was nothing to regret.

In Baiyu’s left hand.

Shangguan Zi pretended to be unconscious, secretly taking in all that was happening.

Although the current was fierce just now, Baiyu reacted quickly to fish her out, so she wasn’t actually hurt much.

But now.

She didn’t dare wake up!

Don’t be fooled by Baiyu’s youthful appearance; he could be an old monster who doesn’t know how many years he’s been cultivating and learning.

If she were to wake up, he might have already sensed it.

The opponent hadn’t let go.

Shangguan Zi dared not move recklessly.

So she simply pretended to be dead.

Maybe after handling these matters, the senior might interrogate her; right now, maintaining the act of being dead might prevent further complications.

"Bastard, if you want to kill, kill. Trying to make me betray the Demon Race, you should die!"

Zize’s entire potential erupted.

Blood Qi surged.

Even though blood continued to seep from her wounds, she was fearless facing death.

Even if dying meant biting off a chunk of the opponent.

However.

Just as she had moved only two steps, a piercing gunshot rang out.

Already heavily injured, Zize’s defenses had dropped to the freezing point.

The special bullet fired from Shark Kiss, carrying Extraordinary Power, penetrated Zize’s forehead unimpeded, turning her brains into a mess.

Plop.

The corpse fell into the water, Baiyu pulled the trigger again, firing five more shots, until the chamber was empty, leaving Zize’s head obliterated; only then did he feel at ease.

Shangguan Zi secretly shuddered.

Truly a ruthless senior, handling corpses without leaving any room for escape.

"The Simulation Realm has been washed past by the water flow; only Linjiang City’s portion has dissipated, but other places remain. For now, the only option is to leave on the Legendary Ship."

Baiyu sighed.

Given the current situation, Linjiang City’s underground was almost completely destroyed by the torrential water flow from the Ocean Giant’s fatal collapse; continuing to explore the secret chamber is nearly impossible. Let alone heading to Linjiang’s Shelter.

The Shelter over there likely closed its tunnel unilaterally to prevent the Simulation Realm’s spread, making entry impossible.

"Cough, cough..."

Just as Baiyu put Shangguan Zi down.

The opposing side coughed twice, expelling a large amount of accumulated lung water, gradually waking up.

"First, get on the Legendary Ship and then talk."

After all, Shangguan Zi is the Third Prince, and quickly adjusted her mindset, speaking calmly.

Indeed, the Legendary Ship is currently the safest place.

Though the Simulation Realm is broken, Linjiang City doesn’t even have a place to land, and it’s unclear what dangers lurk in the dark.

This water isn’t known to be problematic either.

After Giant of the Moon’s strike, it transformed into black moonlight and disappeared.

Obviously, it consumed all the power absorbed from the stone child by the Eye of the Black Moon.

If Shangguan Zi could give birth to one more, it would be better.

This odd thought flashed through Baiyu’s mind briefly before immediately being extinguished by him.

He actually had such a bizarre idea come to mind.

A slip in thoughts.

...

"Pollution Level detection is qualified, no abnormal phenomena."

"Water quality is healthy; preliminary assessment shows normal water flow."

"Currently conducting body treatments; local mild injuries, estimated time for treatment is..."

On the Purple Cloud.

Ship Spirit Purple Cloud is examining the injuries of the Third Prince and Baiyu.

At the same time.

The Steamship is still patrolling above Linjiang City, searching for the remaining people.

Purple Cloud appears to be a woman in her mid-twenties; with a head full of purple hair, exuding an intellectual beauty, like a mature peach-like girl.

Of course.

She is the Ship Spirit.

The arrangements on Purple Cloud differ slightly from those on Erza.

This Legendary Ship carries a sense of royal luxury and grandeur, and as soon as they boarded the Steamship, a medical team immediately rushed in for checks.

Unlike Baiyu.

Inside Erza, there are only patrolling robots and some Qiong family servants.

As for professional teams.

There aren’t any.

Usually, he eats meals prepared by his personally trained chef — Erin.

Comparing people really gets under one’s skin.

The disparity is too wide.

You can’t disregard when speaking of a Prince.

The treatment and financial resources are on an entirely different level.

Running a business association himself, he struggles through many barriers, and most importantly, hasn’t made much money, while all of Maple Leaf County is ablaze with war.

Surveying the Imperial history, there’s no such case to be found.

Why is he so unlucky!

Before Baiyu could speak.

After the medical team’s simple bandaging, Shangguan Zi dismissed those around, and even told Purple Cloud to withdraw, sealing the room completely.

This series of actions made Baiyu somewhat uncomfortable.

The opponent was unlikely to harm him.

Doing this now is likely because he exposed too many methods earlier, and the Third Prince is ready to question thoroughly?

If that’s the case.

Today might require some effort.

Even if it means ripping faces apart, it’s possible.

Baiyu was mentally prepared for the worst.

However.

Before he could speak, the Third Prince solemnly faced him: "Baiyu, today’s events I will not speak of to anyone. Publicly, if you have things that cannot be explained, they can be pinned on me.

My status can solve many problems now.

I understand your difficulties.

As long as it is within my ability, and does not involve difficult matters, you can leave them to me."

As soon as she finished speaking.

She deeply bowed, full of respect.

Baiyu was utterly baffled.

What is this situation?

The opponent’s change in attitude simply baffled him.

However.

Baiyu quickly realized.

The opponent was obviously affected by this journey.

The Third Prince is a smart person, understanding there’s no way she can control the power he displayed now.

And himself.

Witnessing her give birth to an offspring of the Evil God.

One side is a life-saving grace, the other a hold.

Shangguan Zi clearly wanted now to bring him into her circle, on equal terms.

Her methods were simple, but effective.

She was smart.

Knew what Baiyu needed, what she could offer.

Both sides.

Benefiting from cooperation, suffering from separation.

Thinking of this, Baiyu nodded: "It’s great that you can understand; I do indeed have some inconvenient aspects.

You know.

In my situation, many ignorant ordinary people would assume it’s a mutation."

Baiyu was rather helpless.

His hand had two mouths that only showed when touching highly polluted objects, resembling a mutation but was not indeed one.

The Third Prince’s face grew solemn: "Of course, I understand your predicament."
