Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 114
“Airy. Tell me about ancient black magic. What’s it like? How’s it different from regular black magic?”
[Airy doesn’t know much either.]
Airy shook her head vigorously like a skilled helmsman steering the wind sphere that had hidden us and carried us into the Imperial Palace.
The crimson-black magical barrier enveloping the Imperial Capital grew denser the closer we came to the Emperor’s Palace.
Afraid I might disturb Airy, I kept silent and pressed my fingertip firmly against the sphere’s surface. It bounced back with a taut, jelly-like resilience that felt wondrous.
Each time my finger touched it, the scenery of the Imperial Capital passing by outside warped slightly through the transparent sphere.
“According to the priests, the Goddess eradicated the bloodline of ancient black mages before departing the mortal realm.”
I’d heard this during my past life while guarding Justin, visiting the temple two or three times a month. They said the Goddess herself had purged the apostles of chaos who threatened the world’s order.
[Yuriella, evil is like cockroaches. No matter how many you kill, more appear. The more you crush them, the deeper they hide, waiting for the perfect moment to burst forth again—growing stronger and larger all the while. Just because they haven’t shown themselves doesn’t mean they’re truly gone. It wouldn’t be surprising if they suddenly reappeared.]
“Who were the ancient black mages you encountered? Were any of them too powerful for you to handle?”
[The Goddess mostly traveled with Popo, so I never fought black mages myself.]
“Popo?”
[Yeah. Ancient black mages committed many vile acts against the earth itself.]
Airy fell silent for a moment, delving into memories from an age long past, before speaking again.
[The earth embraces everything. Without earth, even fire and ice cannot exist alone. The three are connected. If those mages gained control over the earth, they’d possess the whole world. And without those three, I can’t exert my full power either. It’s terrifying.]
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
