Chapter 718 - The Merman
The mermaid let out a laugh that sounded like a silver bell. “Entered by mistake? This place is so well hidden. How could you have entered by mistake? Did I kidnap you?”
This laughter that sounded like a silver bell made everyone’s hair stand on end. Liu Qian’s eyes flickered. “Fairy, to be honest, the reason we were able to enter was because this kid found the mechanism on the mountain peak. We were all led here by him.”
Liu Qian pointed at Yun Chujiu as he spoke.
The mermaid looked at Yun Chujiu. “So it’s a little girl. Since you found the mechanism, as a reward, you can choose the type of fish you want to become. Tell me, which type of fish do you want to become?”
Little Girl? Liu Qian and the others looked at Yun Chujiu in shock. They did not expect that this Stone Spirit was a woman disguised as a man!
Yun Chujiu looked at the mermaid with a smile. “I’m sorry. I only love eating fish and don’t want to turn into one myself. If you want to turn them into fish, then go ahead. I have no objections.”
When Liu Qian and the others heard her words, they immediately shouted, “Fairy, the culprit is her. Please turn her into a fish and let us go!”
The mermaid woman sneered, “Let you go? None of you will escape! Little Girl, since you don’t want to choose, then turn into a toad-like fish with them!”
After the mermaid woman said that, she waved her sleeve and the Goshawk Sect and An Feng disappeared in an instant. Only Yun Chujiu was standing still.
The mermaid was stunned. She waved her sleeves again, but Yun Chujiu was still standing there as if nothing had happened.
The mermaid smiled charmingly. “Yo, this is the first time in tens of thousands of years that someone has resisted my illusion magic. Little Girl, how did you do it?”
Yun Chujiu giggled. “It’s very simple. I simply don’t believe that you can turn a person into a fish. Since I don’t believe in it, how can I be affected by your illusion?”
The mermaid was stunned. Initially, she thought that Yun Chujiu had a powerful spiritual artifact on her. She did not expect it to be such a simple reason. That’s right. An illusion is simply an artificial atmosphere that allows you to be immersed in it. That’s why if you did not believe it at all and looked at it with a scrutinizing attitude, you would naturally not fall for it.
However, despite it being a simple concept, many people could not tell reality and illusion apart from the other. It was very easy to be immersed in it.
The mermaid laughed softly, and her charming laughter gradually turned into a man’s deep laughter. Yun Chujiu finally saw the real situation in front of her.
An Feng and the Goshawk Sect members fainted on the ground. There were no seawater or fish on the surrounding stone walls and the floor. They were only drawing some patterns of the sea waves.
In front of Yun Chujiu was a round platform. A man lay on the round platform. To be precise, it was a man with a human body and a fish tail. Three huge chains fixed him on the round platform.
The man had a pair of deep blue eyes. He was naked and his long ink-like hair was draped over his body. The man was very handsome yet there was a hint of gloominess mixed in.
Yun Chujiu’s eyes were wide open. Oh my, a handsome fish? If this was to be sold as a portrait, it would definitely be very popular…
“Little girl, you are the first human who has not been bewitched by my illusion in tens of thousands of years. In that case, I will spare your life. You can stay and accompany me to relieve my boredom!” The merman’s deep blue eyes flickered with a faint light.
