“There’s an even bigger loophole in there, which is: can mermaid flesh really lead to immortality? Or is it just a reason to lure others up to gather here?”
“The message left by the diamond bird says that when the sun and the moon are connected in a straight line, the world will blossom with color. But how can the sun and the moon appear in the same sky on the same day, when the sun appears in the day and the moon appears in the night?”
With each word the silver-haired wizard spoke, his expression became heavier, and the air around him grew colder.
Bai Lixin looked down at the wooden floor and saw that a thick layer of frost had begun to form on the ground with the silver-haired wizard at its heart.
Dijia had said he was not human, and he kept releasing a cold aura every time he was emotional. Moreover, his eyes and hair were all silver.
Hiss! Could it be that Dijia is a snow maiden-type persona?
*Snow maiden is a monster that appeared in ancient Japanese legends. She is beautiful and can make ice and snow.
Bai Lixin curiously looked Dijia up and down. Feeling Bai Lixin’s scrutinizing gaze, Dijia hurriedly calmed himself down after realizing that he was getting emotional again.
Bai Lixin sat on the stool and asked word for word, “If you can’t control your emotions, will you freeze your surroundings?”
“Is your body some kind be that of an ice human, would it?”
The silver-haired wizard froze and finally nodded, “That’s right, my body is that of a thousand-year-old ice.”
Bai Lixin’s pupils contracted slightly.
Hiss, damn it.
If this thing is stuffed in, won’t he freeze through?

[Believe it or not, God Xin’s microexpression is definitely saying: won’t I freeze when this thing is stuffed in.]
[If you can, speak more!]
[I’m starting to feel pity for poor God Xin.]
[So the big boss in this copy is so calm. not necessarily because he doesn’t like God Cin, it’s just because he can’t let his emotions out. He underestimates God Xin, what kind of *big wind and big waves hasn’t he seen?]

At night, two dark-cloaked figures appeared on the street.
Unlike the busy daytime, the street lights were out at night, and there were hardly any people on the road.
These two were, of course, Bai Lixin and Dijia. Bai Lixin glanced behind him without a trace, realizing that the person who had been following him was still there.
This man had been following him since he left the palace and had been following him until now.
Before the sunset, a group of people had come back from outside just as the tavern owner had said, and the tavern, which had been deserted during the day, became lively at night.
If you ask the reason, it is that late at night, a thick fog rises from the sea, and it is easy to see hallucinations in the fog, which not only disturbs the vision of those who go to sea but also makes them lose their senses.
Although everyone had come for the treasure, few were willing to joke with their lives, so as soon as the sun went down, everyone swarmed back to the beehive.
Bai Lixin glanced towards the sea in the distance, a dense fog had spread from the sea to the coast, and the whole sea was shrouded in a mist, which looked exceptionally eerie.
A cold hand suddenly grabbed Bai Lixin’s hand. He looked up and saw Dijia looking back at him, “Master, it is foggy at night, come with me.”
Bai Lixin: “Okay.”
Because the silver-haired wizard was pulling him, Bai Lixin found it much easier to navigate around, and as he walked, he remembered the words the tavern boss said.
“In the Mermaid Palace is the Mermaid Heart.”
Mermaid Heart…
Bailihin took out the black pearl necklace from his backpack and touched it, and the system’s mechanized electric voice immediately rang out in his head.
[Ding! Friendly reminder: Mermaid Heart is in the cooldown period and has not yet been activated. You are temporarily unable to use it.]
Did the “Mermaid Heart” mentioned in the prophecy have any connection with his “Mermaid Heart”, or was it just a coincidence?
The problems in this fairy tale began with the Haitai family, so it was necessary to go to the Haitai family.
Dijia pulled Bai Lixin towards the sea, and as they advanced, the fog around them grew thicker and thicker.
As they advanced, the silver-haired wizard explained, “The sea monster doesn’t like to appear when there are many people, and he always appears at night, which is why I brought you here at this time.”
“I hope he won’t deliberately make things difficult for you,” the wizard’s voice was faint, so faint that it was almost inaudible and so soft that it sounded much like a bee flapping its wings, “and I hope you will be fine.”
The two men stepped into the fog as they spoke.
Bai Lixin’s eyes sharpened as he looked at the steep blur that had grown before him.
He was holding Dijia’s hand in one second, and in the next, the pulling power had disappeared.
The force disappeared for a split second but then quickly regained its grip on Bai Lixin’s hand, pulling him onward.
He squinted his eyes and looked ahead, it was clear that he was less than half a meter away from Dijia, yet he could not even see his figure.
Bai Lixin subconsciously asked, “Dijia?”
“Mm, I’m here.” The other party quickly responded, and although there was something different in his voice, it was indeed Dijia’s voice.
Bai Lixin looked at the mist and pondered.
In the fifty years at the Eternal Diamond Mountain, ‘fogs’ had also been appearing there.
Originally, he had thought that the fog in the sky was always there, but Chi Yan’s reaction surprised him.
According to Chi Yan, there was no such “fog” before.
The effect of this fog was similar to that in the time cage, and it even looked like the same one.
Could it be that this fairy tale world and the Eternal Diamond Mountain were connected?
Bai Lixin looked up at the sky, which was also foggy, and couldn’t see anything.
He suddenly stumbled on his feet, and before he could react, a great force quickly held him by the waist and held him in place.
Bai Lixin looked down at the thing holding him up, and while he was slightly stunned, Dijia’s voice came from another direction.
“Master, where are you? Answer me!”
The voice was neither far nor near, but it came from behind him.
Bai Lixin subconsciously turned around and was about to answer when a huge vine suddenly stretched out and stuffed itself directly into his mouth, blocking his voice.
A low, shadowy voice slowly flowed into Bai Lixin’s ears, a voice that seemed to have attached itself to the fog around here. It came from all directions as if it was pervasive, “We meet again, little mute.”
The next moment, Bai Lixin felt himself rising up from the ground as the vines easily lifted him up.
—-“Oh, I’m sorry, I made a mistake, you just spoke. Sorry, shouldn’t have called you a little mute.”
It was the same voice as the silver-haired wizard’s, but with a different accent.
The man’s voice was laced with teasing and prodding, and the vine in his mouth tossed back and forth, sweeping over every corner: “Isn’t this a tongue? It’s not missing, if I’d checked yesterday, I would have known that you weren’t a little mute.”
Bai Lixin tilted his head with difficulty, and because his mouth was gagged, all he could do was groan in pain from the depths of his throat.
“I know why you’re here.” The vines gradually began to secrete a sticky fluid, and they curled around Bai Lixin’s clothes, intending to do the same thing as last time. The slime stained the clothes but didn’t cause the expected corrosion.
The clothes protected their owner honestly, like a most conscientious guardian.
The man laughed softly, while the silver-haired wizard’s voice in the distance grew closer.
Bai Lixin lowered his head, his pupils contracting instantly.
The silver-haired wizard had already found his position.
Only, he was lifted over three meters in the air, and the silver-haired wizard was below his feet.
As long as he looked up, he would be able to see his distressed appearance.
An unspeakable tremor suddenly spread from his chest towards his limbs, and Bai Lixin whimpered as his body spasmed twice.
The man chuckled as the vines, which were as flexible as hands, silently came to Bai Lixin’s chin, pinching it and making him look down and ask, “What happened? Your reaction isn’t quite right.”
A tiny vine sprouted from the vine that was wrapped around his waist, the vine spread downward and burrowed inside his clothes.
“Heh, sure enough.”
“You’re not only a little cheat, but you’re also a little pervert.”
The vine trembled in the air, and for a moment, Bai Lixin’s whole body tensed up and then curved into the shape of the crescent moon in the sky.
“Are you like this because of the vines?”
“Or is it because you’re afraid of being seen by the wizard?”
The man’s trailing voice curled up as if it were a little hook, tickling Bai Lixin’s heart.
The man’s voice paused, then he said with a smile, “Oh, probably neither. You’re suddenly like this because you want to be seen by him, aren’t you?”
The sticky vines slid into his clothes along his wrists and ankles. “How meddlesome, do you think I can’t do anything because you’re wearing magical clothes? You underestimate me.”
Bai Lixin whimpered softly, the toes hidden in his shoes curling and his hands subconsciously gripping the vines.
He tried to shout out, but his mouth was gagged and the sound was swallowed by the vine.
The man’s voice no longer came out, and an anxious look passed over the wizard’s face as he failed to find Bai Lixin below.
A cold, chilly aura quickly haloed his body, but this cold aura mixed into the surrounding fog and added to the feeling of thick fog.
The silver-haired wizard below failed to find him and began to walk in another direction.
Seeing the wizard walk away, Bai Lixin, who had been in a tense state, also relaxed.
The next moment, however, a low laugh came to his ears, and the vines quickly moved him above the wizard’s head.
Bai Lixin’s eyes widened in disbelief.
The next moment, the movements of the vines intensified.
The slimy vines had the rough texture of vines, and since Bai Lixin’s skin was already sensitive, the sensation was like thousands of ants tickling his body bit by bit, like countless suckers sucking his blood.
He arched his back in agony, his hands already squeezing at the vines.
The green sap of the vine slowly moved down the skin, and when Bai Lixin saw the drops of sap, he suddenly became nervous.
On the one hand, he endured the trembling from his body, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the juice would fall on the silver-haired wizard below and get him discovered.
In the tense state of the two worlds of ice and fire, the sap dripped down.
Just as the sap was about to drip onto the silver-haired wizard’s face, he moved to his side.
The sap landed on the ground just in time for the wizard to move aside.
Bai Lixin let out a long sigh of relief, and then he felt the vine that had been blocking his mouth jerk out.
There was confusion in his eyes and before he could realize what had happened, a vine suddenly moved and attacked.
Bai Lixin, whose whole body was in a temporary state of relaxation, didn’t react in time and subconsciously let out a gasp.
The next second, his body jerked stiff, his teeth biting into his lip as he looked downward.
Below him, the silver-haired wizard raised his head at the sound.
Countless green vines were wrapped around the youth who was glowing in the moonlight. The youth’s expression was helpless, and his eyes were flushed with embarrassment.
He was biting the corner of his lip, his beautiful and tender body possessed by ugly and dirty vines.
The silver-haired wizard froze in place, his silver eyes staring upwards, his condensed face unreadable.
The helpless, beautiful youth looked down, and his eyes collided with those of the silver-haired wizard, his eyes pleading with him.
It was unclear whether the youth was begging to be saved, or begging him not to look.
The silver-haired wizard gulped, and he calmly drew his magic wand from his arms and prepared to cast a spell on the vines.
However, a leisurely mischievous voice came from all directions, “Are you trying to save him?”
The silver-haired wizard’s hand holding the wand trembled for a moment, stopping mid
spell.
The cold silver pupils were covered with a faint mist, and the expression in his eyes could not be seen.
He slowly lowered the magic wand, but did not withdraw his gaze.
The man’s voice came again, “I like this boy so much that I will not only save him, but I will marry him to be my queen and master of the seas.”
“You are only his loyal servant; don’t forget who you are. And if I marry him, you will also be my servant in the future.”
The silver-haired wizard’s eyes flashed as he looked into the youth’s eyes, tinged with tears, and said coldly, “Bai Lixin is my only master.”
A strange feeling came over him that he had never felt before, a feeling as if a fire had sprung up from the earth and, if left slightly unchecked, could spread to the surrounding area and burn everything to the ground.
He was in a trance for a moment and suddenly understood that it was anger and jealousy.
Thank you for the translation! Usually I wait till an arc is finished before reading it but I was just too impatient this time lol.
