CHAPTER 725: CHAPTER 507: THE CHOSEN GIRL (FIRST CHAPTER 4000 WORDS)

At last, the Mermaid’s Heart was in her grasp.

Reflecting on the recent conflict, Rose Vesper even felt the urge to cry, for it had truly been no easy feat.

Mermaids are weak.

Beyond their enchantingly beautiful voices, that enchant all creatures, these beings actually don’t possess great combat strength; they’re simply very adept at lurking in the waters.

Yet, once the mermaid’s music begins to take effect, these outwardly beautiful creatures instantly transform into the deadliest of assassins.

Their voices are even more exaggeratedly enchanting than those of the Enchanting Demon; once a creature hears the sound, it’s already ensnared by the mermaid’s enchantment.

The most terrifying fact is, the mermaid’s enchantment is not only effective on males, but it can also have a horrifying effect on females.

Even though Rose Vesper was strong and her willpower was certainly steadfast, when the mermaid began to hum the tune, Rose Vesper also found her consciousness becoming blurry and unstable.

It felt as though all the burdens on her had disappeared at that moment, and both body and soul were in a state of absolute relaxation and pleasure.

At that time, nothing else would come to mind; you would just immerse yourself in that bliss, constantly savoring it. The happiest moments floated in your mind, the most beautiful scenes appeared before your eyes, and the most delicious fragrances filled your nostrils.

The mermaid’s song could display all of the best things right in front of you.

For Rose Vesper, what she saw was herself dressed in a pure white wedding gown, walking hand in hand with Lord Jie Luo, step by step towards the altar of marriage.

This was a scene that had always been deeply desired in Rose Vesper’s heart.

Lost in this bliss, Rose Vesper was totally unaware that the mermaid had already stepped onto her small boat. Her pale arm was even wrapped around her neck, with pink lips parted to reveal teeth like jagged blades.

She was just a moment away from tearing open her artery.

Fortunately, Aili was by her side.

As a puppet that had already lost its life and soul, only its body being capable of movement, Aili was not enticed by the mermaid’s song. In the crucial moment, she cut off the mermaid’s neck and saved Rose Vesper.

After Rose Vesper was finally rescued and broke free from the mermaid’s song, realizing the situation made her skin crawl with goosebumps.

Though there was great risk involved, no matter how one put it, this ordeal was safely navigated through.

Now, having acquired the Mermaid’s Heart.

Resurrecting Jie Luo had already taken the most important step.

The majority of Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragments had also been gathered, only the last piece remained, which Asina was searching for.

Hope was just before her eyes.

Just thinking about Lord Jie Luo being resurrected soon, Rose Vesper shuddered with excitement, making the dangers she had just faced seem negligible in comparison.

With a slightly triumphant look, Rose Vesper glanced at Aili. Poor fool, I won’t forget your contribution to Lord Jie Luo’s resurrection, but sadly, you’ll never be able to speak to Lord Jie Luo again.

Even though the current Aili was just a lifeless soulless puppet, Rose Vesper wouldn’t let any other girl be around Lord Jie Luo, even if it was merely a puppet.

Just imagining that scenario made Rose Vesper nearly mad with jealousy.

When it came time to resurrect Jie Luo, Rose Vesper planned to destroy the puppet Aili beforehand, even though this puppet had just saved her life.

Of course, Rose Vesper would concoct a perfect excuse and tell the resurrected Lord Jie Luo that Aili had heroically sacrificed herself in the process of his resurrection, and that she would always remember Aili’s contribution.

Since she was already dead, and even a puppet was to be destroyed, a mere remembrance was perfectly acceptable.

After all, she was so merciful, so kind.

Fantasizing about the wonderful future, Rose Vesper’s face gradually showed a twisted smile, then her stomach made a gurgling sound.

She was a bit hungry.

Earlier while sailing on the sea, she had encountered an attack by an ugly octopus monster... although it ultimately drove off the octopus monster, all the supplies and food intended for Rose Vesper were plundered.

It had been many days since she last ate.

Fortunately, Lord Jie Luo wasn’t here, otherwise it would be terrible if he heard the sound coming from her stomach.

Her gaze swept over Aili... a puppet that had been dead for who knows how long, its meat probably wouldn’t taste very good.

Compared to that, the mermaid she had just killed was fresher.

With a dagger in hand, she cut slivers of meat from the mermaid’s body and chewed them.

Perhaps due to living in the ocean, the mermaid’s flesh was tender and had a bit of a fishy, salty taste.

Crimson blood still stuck to her lips, akin to the brightest lipstick.

While filling her stomach and replenishing energy, Rose Vesper’s mind continued to plan.

Now, resurrecting Jie Luo really was just one step away, that was the last Soul Fragment that Asina was currently searching for.

Once that Fragment was found, the Resurrection Technique ritual could be initiated immediately... Thinking about Jie Luo soon standing before her again filled Rose Vesper’s chest with burning heat.
