Chapter 176 Simple and Direct
Chapter 176 Simple and Direct
Compared to the barely perceptible activation of the magic array by Morinbia when transforming Jiang Yu, the activation of the magic array, which was recognized by the Lord of the Ocean, was far more grand.
As the pattern smeared with Morinbia's blood lit up, the entire altar slowly became covered with bright and vibrant patterns. And when all the patterns were lit, the trident stuck in the altar suddenly emitted a dazzling light, enveloping Morinbia entirely in its radiance.
The trident's light was initially white. However, once it completely enveloped Morinbia's body, it turned a vibrant purple. This purple orb then emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire sea.
Not only the central hall, but also Jiang Yu, who was surrounded by bubbles in the distance, and everyone around the Forbidden Sea, saw the entire Forbidden Sea suddenly light up with purple light. Everyone was stunned by this amazing and strange scene.
“A new life…” Triton sighed softly as he watched the enormous figure at the center of the purple light gradually shrink.
At that moment, Jiang Yu was carefully searching for any other place on her body besides behind her ears where scales had grown. Perhaps because she had been mentally prepared, she quickly calmed down after her initial shock.
After discovering several small scales on her ankle, her heart sank completely. Jiang Yu bit her lip and tried to pull them out hard, but the excruciating pain came, and the scales didn't budge, only drawing a little blood.
Just as she was feeling somewhat lost and unsure of what to do, a dazzling light erupted from the central hall. Jiang Yu stood up, walked to the pillar, and thought to herself, "It must be Morinbia and Triton up to something."
The magic circle lasted for a long time, and Jiang Yu stopped watching after a while. She was too busy taking care of herself to enjoy the show. Since these scales had already grown, they would definitely grow more and more until she became a complete sea monster.
Jiang Yu couldn't think of a solution, so she had to wait for Molinbia to return and start with it. Jiang Yu thought of Fan Qingyin and Lin Yi, and couldn't help but feel sad. How could she forget them? She didn't know how anxious and sad they must have been during the days she was trapped at the bottom of the sea.
And then there's Chen Xin. She should have been rescued by Keslan's men and should be safe now, but who knows if she'll encounter any other problems. I hope she's doing well. I'm sure Chen Xin is worried about me while I'm trapped here.
Many things weighed on her mind, making her feel depressed, like the bottom of the sea, a cage that never sees the light of day, completely trapping her with no way out.
The dazzling light failed to improve her bad mood. Jiang Yu walked to the soft seaweed piled in the corner, trying to convince herself to take a nap. But how could she just fall asleep like that? She simply closed her eyes in a self-hypnotic way.
She opened her eyes in horror when a hand gently touched her cheek. The seawater was completely still; how could someone have broken through Morinbia's bubble without her noticing?
The moment she opened her eyes, she was speechless at the sight of an exquisitely handsome face so close to her.
The owner of this face had long, vibrant purple hair with varying shades. Although it was just hair, it had a dreamy, crystal-like luster. Jiang Yu easily associated it with the beautiful, transparent tentacles of Morinbia, which looked like glass.
When Jiang Yu saw those gray eyes that looked lazy and innocent with a hint of brilliance, she guessed what had caused the purple light in the central hall earlier.
Molymbia first transformed herself.
At this moment, Morinbia's entire upper body was inside the bubble. His face was delicate and cute, as if it had been carefully sculpted by the Creator. He had an innocent and naive look, as well as the handsomeness and affection of a young man.
Jiang Yu sighed inwardly. Everyone thought that sea monsters were strange, cruel, and extremely beautiful creatures from the depths of the sea. Even she had imagined them to be as beautiful and bewitching as Zhong Qin. Little did she know that the treasure hidden in the depths of the ocean was actually a face as pure as crystal and as beautiful as an angel.
Power lies hidden beneath harmlessness, mystery lurks beneath ignorance. Only the otherworldly, vibrant colors and exquisite craftsmanship reveal the uniqueness and eeriness of his bloodline.
Jiang Yu's gaze struggled to move down from that captivating face, then quickly swept over the bare upper body with a hint of shame, finally landing on the strong and magnificent fishtail. Her heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, she guessed right. Morinbia had wanted to turn her into a half-human, half-fish monster from the beginning. Although she didn't know why her transformation was slower and she was only now starting to grow scales, while she herself had turned into a mermaid in an instant.
Jiang Yu thought to himself, trying to find some humor in his predicament, that at least mermaids were much better than transparent anemones.
Noticing Jiang Yu's gaze, Molymbiya, or rather, Moya now, placed her hands on either side of Jiang Yu and smugly swayed her magnificent fishtail.
"I transformed into Triton's tail. His tail was the most beautiful in the entire ocean, and after I changed the color, it's even more beautiful than his. So, Jiang Jiang, do you like it?"
Moya blinked his gray eyes, his face innocent and naive, but what he said made people blush and their hearts race: "Want to touch it? Undersea people's fish tails can only be touched by their parents or lovers." He flicked his fish tail forward, noticed Jiang Yu's stiffness, then pulled his fish tail back and offered that unfair face forward.
"Or is it that Jiangjiang likes my face more? Touch it, I want you to touch me."
Jiang Yu's face instantly turned bright red. When he was still Molinbia, his voice seemed to come from the abyss, deep and heavy. But when he became Moa, his voice seemed to have little hooks on it. It was clearly a clear and clean voice, but when he spoke, it was seductive in every way.
"Jiang Jiang won't touch me, is it because I'm not pretty enough?" Moya shook its fish tail aggrievedly. Its cool scales and gauze fins brushed against Jiang Yu's bare legs, and after noticing her trembling, it mischievously pressed against her again.
"Finally, I can hold you. I've wanted to hold you for so long." Moya was no longer satisfied with just a little flirting. He pulled Jiang Yu into his arms tightly and pressed his face against hers, sighing with satisfaction, "Ah, Jiang Jiang feels so good. I've wanted to be close to you like this for so long."
"Jiangjiang, I like you so much!"
Jiang Yu never expected that the person in the ocean would be so simple and direct, hugging and sticking together so easily? Who taught him that?
Jiang Yu stiffened as the radiant purple-haired merman held her in his arms for a while before finally pushing him away.
"Moya, let's talk. I'm very serious, I really want to talk to you!"
