Chapter 390: A Mermaid’s Flirtation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In order to ask Yang Ling for help to resolve the Zombie Poison of their family and friends, the people did not spare anything valuable on themselves and left them all behind. In the end, Yang Ling only busied himself for a bit more than half an hour, and the ground was already piled with Crystal Coins and various valuables, leaving the Corpse Wizard King, in charge of collecting payment, smiling widely.

If he had known that it was so profitable for Yang Ling to cure people of the Zombie poison, he would rather the Undead Army had attacked more ferociously!

“His Lordship, this piece of pendant is warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer. Can you help me to save my guard?”

After saving over a dozen injured in a row, Yang Ling, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground all this while was about to stand up to stretch his limbs, when a whiff of fragrance that moved his heart assaulted his senses. Raising his head to look up, he saw that the Mermaid with her guards, was already beside him. He did not know when that happened.

Her black shiny long hair danced in the breeze, underneath the loose Spellcaster’s robes, her petite figure could be vaguely seen. Her already petite and delicate figure was made more obvious with her accompanying slim collar bones. The black patterns on the Spellcaster’s robes hinted at her tender, fair skin...

A leaf falling shows that Autumn is here!

Just by looking at the Mermaid’s sexy collarbone, Yang Ling understood just how sexy this woman was!

There were about a hundred guards accompanying the Mermaid on this journey. There were warriors from the Shark Tribe carrying heavy axes, and also Spellcasters who were wearing long robes. If he had not seen the footage of them appearing out of the sea, they would have looked no different, on the surface, from a bunch of Beastmen to him. Some of them even looked exactly like humans.

“O’Neal, lie face down on the ground and let His Lordship look at your wound!”

“But, My Lady, that piece of pendant was given to you on your birthday by the Mistress. I...”

“O’Neal, lie face down on the ground. This is just a small piece of pendant!”

...

Under the Mermaid’s instruction, a burly man standing at over five meters tall, laid face down on the ground. His back was a mass of flesh and blood, with bloody puss flowing freely. A big area of rash -like small blisters had erupted around the wound. With one look, Tang Ling could tell that he was seriously infected with the Zombie Poison.

Seeing that the big man named O’Neal had obediently laid down face down on the ground at the Mermaid’s command, Yang Ling smiled lightly, took the piece of pendant from the Mermaid’s hand and looked at it carefully.

Carved on the piece of cerulean blue pendant, were complicated markings. It was cool to the touch and looked a bit like agate. But it was lighter than a piece of dried leaf, so he did not know what it was made of.

“Beautiful Miss, I would love to be of service, but...” Looking at the big guy laying obediently on the ground, and then looking at the Mermaid beside him, who had a light aura of sadness, Yang Ling pretended to hesitate awkwardly.

Originally, he was already prepared to find an opportunity to get close the this group of Sea Tribes, and take the chance to get to know more about their habits and capabilities, and also look for an opportunity to ask about the situation within the Sea Tribes. Now that the other party had come looking for him, he naturally would not let this opportunity go.

“His Lordship, it’s okay to just call me Evelyn!” Seeing Yang Ling hesitate, the Mermaid thought he was unhappy that the value of the pendant was not enough, so she explained in a soft voice, “This is top quality sea agate from the Carribean. Not only does it stay warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer, it is also a great help in the cultivation of Battle Energy and Magic.”

“Tsk tsk, not bad, it can actually speed up the speed of cultivation of Magic and Battle Energy!” Seeing the Mermaid Evelyn formally introduce the benefits of the pendant, Yang Ling smiled withotut giving anything away. After shaking his head, he changed his tone, saying, “Too bad, I’m not interested in Magic or Battle Energy. Miss Evelyn, do you think...”

Not interested?

After hearing what Yang Ling said, Evelyn fell silent for a while in surprise. At first, she had thought that after finding out about the benefits of the pendant, Yang Ling would no longer reject it, but unexpectedly, he actually said that he was not interested in it.

“Hmph, stop talking nonsense. If you don’t start treating O’Neal of the poison in his body, you better be careful I don’t stab you in the throat!” Seeing Yang Ling’s hesitance, a warrior who was covered in fish scales, said furiously. He pulled out a sharp long sword with a ‘whoosh’ and put it right against his throat, fast as lightning!

“Bastard, you’re looking to die!”

In shock, the people like the Corpse Wizard King and Immet pounced, regardless of consequences. The Dark Dragon King even immediately transformed into the giant Level Surpassing Dark Dragon King, circling above the Sea Tribes. The nearby Troops and adventurers also pulled out their sharp weapons, completely surrounding the Sea Tribes which did not know the meaning of death.

Looking at the Dark Dragon King roaring above their heads, the Corpse Wizard King with his imposing manner, and the surrounding Troops and adventurers looking on in anger, the guards around Evelyn pulled their weapons out, as if ready to engage a big enemy. A battle was about to erupt!

“Navia, back away!” After the initial surprise, Evelyn did not show any change in expression. She loudly shouted at the warrior in fish scales, but her eyes were on Yang Ling, carefully observing his expression and movements.

“Hehe, this long sword looks nice, too bad...”

Looking at the murderous warrior in fish scales, Yang Ling smiled lightly and used his finger to lightly flick it. With a ‘ding’ sound, a layer of ice covered the sharp long sword of the fish-scaled warrior. Immediately after, small cracks started appearing. Then, with a light breeze, the sword crumbled into dust, into the surrounding air, vanishing in a blink of an eye.

Was this Battle Energy or Magic?

With the change, not to mention the fish-scaled warrior, even the Troops and adventurers watching from the sidelines were stunned. From far away, Elder Faern smiled and nodded his head, while Elder Brown of the Church stayed silent, the expression on his face becoming graver.

According to the information from the Church, Yang Ling was only a powerful Summoner. But now, it looked like the information was very wrong. First, not to mention the terrifying Crystal Skull, just the act of crumbling a long sword into ashes with a flick of his finger, was already no mean feat.

“Maybe, this time round, the Church has offended an ancient family they cannot afford to offend!”

After not being able to detect any Battle Energy or Magic from Yang Ling, Elder Brown’s heart sank even further. The situation in the Underground Tomb was unpredictable and dangerous. If Yang Ling were to stir up trouble in the background, his mission on this trip would be made even harder!

With immense Battle Energy and grasp on the Energy Realm, there were many Templars around him who could also vibrate a long sword into crumbling. But Elder Brown was afraid that even a Templar at Master level could find it very difficult to make it happen in such precise and clean manner like Yang Ling.

“Hehe, it is just a misunderstanding!” Looking at the stunned fish-scaled warrior, Yang Ling smiled lightly. “Miss Evelyn, on this trip, I did not bring much holy water for healing. I’m just worried that I do not have enough holy water left to use on your guard who is so big in size. Of course, if you could replace the pendant with Crystal Coins or something else, that will be even better. After all, I have so many Magical Beasts to feed. I’m about to go broke feeding them!”

Size was too big?

Looking at O’Neal who was obediently laying face down on the ground, and looking at the smiling Yang Ling, the people standing around burst into laughter and kept their weapons before striding away. After again witnessing Yang Ling’s unfathomable power, they knew that even all the guards around Evelyn combined, might not even be a match to just Yang Ling himself!

“His Lordship, this is a Space Necklace. What do you think?” Looking at Yang Ling, who was brazenly declaring himself poor, Evelyn took off the necklace around her neck, and gently put it in his hand.

“Oh, I can only put a few piles of Crystal Coins in this before it’s full?” After carefully feeling the size of the space within the necklace, Yang Ling shook his head. “It’s a bit small, but I should be able to sell it for a few Crystal Coins. That should just about do it. Of course, if Miss Evelyn can talk about what is going on with the Sea Tribes right now, that will be even better!”

After the Troops and adventurers left to go further away, Yang Ling stopped beating around the bush, and directly laid down his condition. While speaking, he casually passed the pendant and necklace in his hand to the Corpse Wizard King standing beside him, while glancing at him meaningfully. The latter understood his meaning and immediately kept the two items.

How could a Mermaid with more than a hundred guard be an ordinary member of the Sea Tribes? And the pendant she carried around with her must also be something out of the ordinary.

Sea Tribes?

After hearing Yang Ling out, Evelyn got a shock, and understood that the other party already knew about their identity a long time ago. After a short consideration, she signaled the guards to retreat and prevent other people from coming near and eavesdropping. She then slowly talked about how she and her party came to be here.

It turned out that, like the various big and small countries on the continent, the Sea Tribes were not cut of the same cloth. The big sea was divided into various big and small sea areas, where many different tribes settled. Even though they shared the same faith, there were still clashes of conflict among the different tribes, or the sea areas with different power at times.

Evelyn and her party came from the Siattu Sea Tribe of the Carribean Sea. After she found out that the Underground Tomb had been opened, she travelled tens of thousands of miles across many seas to come here. At first she had thought that their presence would not be known, but she did not expect to be filmed with the hidden Illusory Crystal the moment they came onshore.

“Does that mean that you Siattu Tribe is also here for the so-called Teleportation Portal?” Looking at the long-haired and soft spoken Mermaid Evelyn, Yang Ling smiled.

Compared to the vague and unreal Graveyard of Deities and Demons, he was more concerned about finding traces of the Ancient Wizard overseas. Unfortunately, the wide open seas were endless and he could not possibly visit all of them by himself in a few hundred, or even a few thousand years. If he could get the help of the Siattu Tribe in front of him, he might be able to get a surprise in a short period of time.

“No, His Lordship, we, the Siattu Sea Tribe, are not interested in the Teleportation Portal. I only want to find the legendary Staff of Life, to get rid of the crimson tide within our sea!”

After falling silent in thought for a while, Evelyn told of the purpose of her trip in a straightforward manner. “His Lordship, you’ll can look for your Teleportation Portal, and I’ll look for my Staff of Life. Maybe, we can work together to explore this mysterious Underground Tomb! I’ve heard that you are facing a number of threats and troubles from the sea within your Domain. If we can work together successfully, we may be able to give you some assistance in that matter!”

After witnessing Yang Ling’s powerful capabilities and great courage, Evelyn decisively concluded that they should work together. Not to mention how terrifying the Underground Tomb was, just the various powerful factions like the Dark Association and Church were hard enough to deal with. If she wanted to successfully get the Staff of Life, the best choice would undoubtedly be to work with the Lord Yang Ling.

Work together?

Looking at Evelyn, who was on the surface attractive and delicate, but in actual fact surpassingly intelligent, Yang Ling smiled. It was just so easy to talk with smart people. The two parties each took what they needed, hitting it off immediately!
