646 Honey Trap (1/2)

“I wonder… how’s the effect of a mermaid tear?”

Zhao Feng found that two of the Core disciples had entered a profound state, radiating an aura of mental energy.

The mermaid tears in their hands glowed with a light that covered their bodies.

A while later, the two Core disciples opened their eyes – they were pure and clear. Their soul had been cleansed, and their auras had changed slightly.

Although their cultivation didn’t change, Zhao Feng knew that their souls had strengthened.

One had to know that comprehending the intent of the Void God Realm relied on the soul. This was why mermaid tears helped one understand the Void God Realm.

Of course, that effect didn’t mean the chances of being able to break through would definitely increase. Only the Illusion God Wine had such an effect. However, for those under the half-step Void God Realm, mermaid tears were quite useful.

“As one’s soul strengthens, one’s total power will also increase in the future.”

Zhao Feng sighed as he suddenly remembered someone – Xin Wuheng.

Amongst all the geniuses he had ever seen, Xin Wuheng had the lowest talent, and yet Xin Wuheng’s intent and soul had reached an unfathomable level.

Even now, Zhao Feng couldn’t see through Xin Wuheng’s intent.

“Let’s try it.”

Zhao Feng took out a few mermaid tears and slowly closed his eyes.

The music of the ancient mermaids seemed to sound in his ears.

There was a mixture of sweetness, bitterness, sourness, spice, and pain. All of it was extremely pure as it appeared in Zhao Feng’s heart.

Zhao Feng’s heart seemed to undergo the passage of time.

Pain, sadness, love, and beauty washed Zhao Feng’s soul.

Mermaids were a mysterious ancient species that rarely cried. Only those with unparalleled love did so.

Each and every mermaid tear represented a mermaid’s love.

Under such pure mental energy, Zhao Feng’s soul became clearer.

A memory suddenly flashed through his mind.

When he was young, an elegant young girl in purple with clear eyes appeared.

It was a purple figure who always watched from behind.

After seeing her again, the two hugged. They were as close as neighbors.

Shua!

The scene changed once more.

Ridiculous scenes flashed through Zhao Feng’s mind. Helplessness, sadness, disappointment.

A quiet girl dressed in white suddenly appeared in his mind. She seemed to be a goddess from a painting.

“So… I once had it too.”

Zhao Feng’s soul became purer, and the lake in his left eye’s dimension glittered. Each and every drop of water was extremely clear.

In just a short while, Zhao Feng’s soul was cleansed.

Although his soul didn’t become stronger, it became clearer.

The appearance of his soul even appeared in his mind.

“This is me?”

Zhao Feng had a better understanding of himself. Then, he returned to reality.

An hour later, Zhao Feng had used almost ten drops of mermaid tears.

By the end, his heart was as calm as water.

“Brother Zhao, the situation’s not good; the Mermaid Kingdom seems to have found our tracks.”

Chen Yilin’s voice sounded.

Zhao Feng opened his eyes. A faint multicolored light in his eyes quickly faded, and his eyes became as clear as crystal.

“Being found was just a matter of time.”

Zhao Feng wasn’t surprised. He figured out the situation by using his subordinates that were scattered around nearby.

They had killed and enslaved many mermaids. The Mermaid Kingdom would’ve found out sooner or later regardless.

“We need to move before the upper echelon of the Mermaid Kingdom catches on.”

Chen Yilin’s voice was urgent, but the expression of the blue-haired youth in front of him didn’t change. His eyes were still clear.

“They’ve only lost track of a couple mermaids; the upper echelon isn’t going to do anything right away. According to what I know, the Mermaid King has been in seclusion for the past ten years.”

Zhao Feng said slowly.

Right now, there were two options in front of them:

One; retreat. They had already gained a lot. Especially Zhao Feng – he had gathered a massive amount of treasures and resources.

Two; try to enter the palace.

The second choice was extremely dangerous. They might face the pursuit of the entire Mermaid Kingdom, or even a King.

“Zhao Feng, do you have any methods at all?”

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but ask.

Chen Yilin’s eyes twinkled. Their progress so far had been extremely smooth. Everything seemed to be in Zhao Feng’s control.

“It’s really easy. Just think about what happened with the person who successfully entered the palace back then.”

Zhao Feng smiled.

_Back then?_

Of course, they all knew. Several thousand years ago, that Sacred Land genius fell in love with the Mermaid Princess and entered the palace with her help.

“According to what I know, the current princess is extremely beautiful, and most importantly, she hasn’t found a lover yet.”

Zhao Feng said.

“Zhao Feng, you’re not suggesting we repeat what happened back then, right?”

Chen Yilin rolled his eyes.

“Mermaids are intelligent. How could the same trick possibly work again?”

“Last time, it only happened out of luck. It would be hard to replicate.”
