nChapter 49: Mysterious Accessory

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nWhen they returned to the territory,

nMost of the residents had already finished their day’s work and entered the realm of dreams.

nSnores filled the air.

nStretching lazily, Ji Chen intended to call for Willis when he noticed Alice sitting on the steps in front of the door. Her eyes were closed, and her little head drooped.

nCould it be that Alice was waiting for him?

nPerhaps upon hearing his footsteps, the little Siren slowly opened her eyes. When she saw him, her eyes sparkled like gemstones, instantly brightening up.

nShe got up and rushed over, hanging onto his body.

n…..

n“My lord, you’re finally back!”

n“Yes.” Ji Chen held her body and said gently, “Why didn’t you sleep in the room? It’s very cold outside.”

nThe temperature difference on the island was significant. It could be scorching hot during the day, causing people to suffer from heatstroke, but at night, it turned bone-chilling, making one shiver with goosebumps.

nAlice smiled sweetly, her eyebrows curved like the moon in the sky, looking very beautiful.

n“I thought you hadn’t returned yet, so I wanted to wait here. I’ve been waiting all this time,” Alice said with a smile.

nJi Chen didn’t say anything but lovingly stroked her little head.

nAlthough they had only spent a little over ten days together, Alice had become more than just a hero to him. He had already started to regard her as a sister-like figure, carrying deeper emotions.

nSeeing that Ji Chen remained silent, Alice also fell quiet. She closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder, feeling his warmth.

nBoth of them remained speechless, savoring this serene moment.

nSuddenly,

nA voice rang out, breaking the silence of the night.

n“My lord, you’ve returned… Perhaps I came at the wrong time.”

nThe person who came was Wilus. He had just finished dealing with the matters at hand and was about to sleep.

nHearing the commotion outside, he came out to see what was happening and witnessed such a scene.

nHe felt a bit embarrassed and unsure of what to do, afraid that Ji Chen would be angry.

nJi Chen smiled and shook his head, releasing Alice from his hold, and said to her,

n“You came at the right time. You should have someone take care of these hunted animals quickly, or they wall spoil by tonight.”

nUpon seeing the pile of prey stacked to the side, Wu Liang promptly responded.

nHe returned to the residential area and called over twenty young and strong residents.

nAlthough they were a bit displeased and confused at being forcibly awakened when they saw the accumulated prey, their spirits immediately lifted.

nThey enthusiastically began the processing work.

nWith that taken care of, Ji Chen had nothing else to do. He returned to the Lord’s Mansion with a sleepy Alice.

nDue to exhaustion from the day’s labor, he quickly fell into slumber.

nIn his dreams,

nAlice smiled gracefully, wearing only a sheer veil.

nTowering breasts, snow-white skin, and alluring buttocks.

nAnd he was almost naked.

nThe two of them chased each other in the water, their happy laughter echoing in their ears.

nThis scene instantly woke him up.

nLooking up, the bright sunlight shone through the window, and the sound of the residents working could be heard.

nHe looked left and right.

nAlice was no longer here. She probably went out to play again.

nJi Chen slowly sat up straight and fell into deep thought.

nHe could understand a dream without clothes.

nA hot-blooded man would sometimes have such colorful dreams.

nThat was not a problem.

nHowever, the problem was…

n“Why is there a young girl chasing after us?”

nThis was too strange.

nHe was puzzled.

nHe shook his head and threw these strange thoughts out of his mind.

nHe stood up and walked out of the lord’s manor.

nHe did not plan to go out to hunt or explore this morning.

nThis morning, he had no plans to venture out in search of game or explore new’ territories.

nAfter more than ten consecutive days of non-stop battles, his nerves were already tightly wound, reaching a breaking point.

nBoth mentally and physically, he felt the weight of fatigue.

nSo, he made a decision to take a half-day break for himself.

nHe decided to go fishing.

nIt had been quite some time since his last fishing excursion, and the fishing rods in his backpack were on the verge of gathering dust!

nHe didn’t bring a large entourage, only about ten Murlocs to serve as his guards.

nJi Chen held his fishing rod and prepared some bait as he arrived at his usual spot.

nBaiting the hook, he gathered his strength, and cast the line effortlessly.

nWith these tasks completed, he cleared his mind and gazed into the distance.

nToday’s weather was splendid.

nThe sun shone brightly, and the sea was tranquil, without a ripple in sight.

nThe distant sky resembled an ice cream, with its deep blue base and fluffy white clouds.

nA group of dolphins chased after schools of fish on the sea surface, leaping out of the water from time to time, showcasing their superb swimming skills.

nThe tides washed over the sandy beach, bringing forth waves of white foam.

nThe weather was excellent today, and the fishing luck was also quite good.

nIt didn’t take long after casting the line for a “fish” to bite.

nIt was a large squid weighing about three pounds!

nEver since he had tasted the meat of an octopus creature, Ji Chen had been longing for seafood like octopus and squid.

nFinally, he had caught such a big one today, and he could finally enjoy a sumptuous meal.

nPerhaps the squid heard the call of his heart.

nOne after another, like the story of the Little Warriors saving their grandfather, a whole school of squids continuously hooked onto the line, numbering dozens of them.

nIt brought a big smile to his face.

nSoon, the basket was filled to the brim.

nThe joy of fishing is simple and monotonous.

nTime flew’ by.

nHe glanced at the sky.

nThe sunlight grew more intense, and it even felt slightly stinging on his skin.

nIn this tranquil setting, Ji Chen’s mind suddenly shook, and he murmured with wide-open eyes.

n…..

n“Just one more cast, and then wee’ll leave. Give it some extra strength for the final cast.”

nHe forcefully cast the line.

nThe fishing hook flew steadily onto the water’s surface several meters away, slowly sinking down.

nHe eagerly watched the float.

nThe last time, the final cast hooked a Siren.

nWould this final cast also catch a mighty ocean hero?

nAlthough the chances were slim, dreams are something that should never be without.

nSuddenly, the float was pulled downwards.

nSeeing this scene, Ji Chen felt a wave of disappointment instead.

nIf the float had been pulled down so quickly after casting, it surely couldn’t be anything exciting.

n“Ding! You have obtained a mysterious accessory.”

nMysterious accessory

nLevel: Special (Single)

nEffect: Increase stamina recovery speed by 50%

nA certain creature’s beloved accessory seems to have more effects than this…

nLying on his palm was something that looked like a sachet.

nThe material was very special. Even though it had just been fished out of the water, it still looked very dry.

nThe additional effect was also quite good. It increased the recovery speed of Stamina by 50%.

nIn addition to the 30% Stamina recovery speed bonus from Sea’s Blessing, it was a full 80% bonus effect.

nIf a physical combat hero were to wear it, he would become a never-ending killing machine.

nHowever, there was only Alice, a magical hero, and Panther, who was only an Aspiring hero. For the time being, no one could use this.

nThen he could only keep it for now.

nWith this thought in mind, Ji Chen equipped the accessory on himself.

nWith today’s harvest, he leisurely returned to the territory.

nIn the afternoon, he would continue hunting on the island.

nSomewhere in the Middle Earth Ocean.

nA figure suddenly jumped out of the water. Seawater dripped from her silver-gray hair and slowly flowed down his majestic chest.

nShe looked in a certain direction with a bewildered expression.

n“Why did the aura of the accessory suddenly stop?”

n“Could it have been taken by some creature? No, that’s my thing. I have to get it back!”

nWith that, the figure dived back into the sea.

nIf someone was below the surface of the water, they would see her moving forward at a speed that ordinary people could not reach.

nEven the water flow helped her move.

nHer strong and powerful body was like a whale shark in the sea..
