Chapter 95: The Indecent Illusory Realm
The door slowly closed behind Yu Zhao. She did not stop walking and continued forward along the wide passage.

She did not know what material Merfolk Pavilion had used to build the passage. After walking for a while, she found that the range of her divine sense had been compressed to less than one zhang around her.

Her expression did not change, but she became quietly alert inside.

Merfolk Pavilion was a shop that sold goods. Why did it have to put on so much mystery and create so many gimmicks?

Did it have some hidden secret behind it?

While she was thinking, Yu Zhao had already reached the end of the passage.

Here, there was another sealed stone door.

This time, she did not step forward to push it right away. She stood before the door, touching her chin as if deep in thought.

Suddenly, her ears twitched, and her body leaned toward the stone door without her noticing.

She had just heard a young woman’s singing voice.

She held her breath and listened carefully.

She waited for a long time, but the singing did not come again, as if what she had heard just now was only her imagination.

Yu Zhao’s eyes flashed. She placed her hand on the stone door.

A harsh creaking sound rang out from inside the door.

Then, the stone doors slowly opened to both sides. A dim blue light shone on Yu Zhao’s face, making her expression look dark and eerie.

When the scene behind the stone door was completely revealed in front of Yu Zhao, her pupils shrank and she stared in shock.

“Customer, do you like singing? Let me sing a song for you.”

Hearing the young woman’s soft and charming voice, Yu Zhao’s whole body trembled. A chill shot up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

[This thing can talk? No, it can even sing?]

It was not strange that Yu Zhao lost her composure. Anyone would be shocked if they saw a blue heart soaking in a pool suddenly open its mouth and speak.

When she had opened the door, the blue light that had shone on her face had come from that blue heart.

She suddenly felt glad that she had not brought Little Red with her. Otherwise, the child would have been scared half to death.

“Yiyali~~”

The blue heart did not wait for Yu Zhao to reply. It started singing on its own.

As it sang, the blood vessels on the heart beat and pulsed, giving it a strange and eerie look.

What made Yu Zhao feel even more chilled was that the blue heart was using another language to sing. She could not understand a word, but she could clearly feel the bewitching power hidden in the song.

Yes, this blue heart was trying to use its singing to confuse her mind.

Yu Zhao had lived two lives, and her will was firm.

Besides, the Illusory Tide Art she cultivated also used spells or other mediums to lure a cultivator’s mind and drag them into an illusory realm.

The moment she heard the song like soft, decadent music, she instantly realized that the blue heart meant her harm.

She did not expose it. Instead, she narrowed her eyes slightly and pretended to be intoxicated.

She had to admit, the blue heart’s singing was truly beautiful. It was not wrong to say that the sound lingered in the air long after the song should have ended.

Even though Yu Zhao was on guard, she still almost sank into it.

This made a faint guess grow in her heart.

According to legend, there was a special race living in the Nanming Deep Sea called the Merfolk Clan. They had human upper bodies and fish tails, stood five to six feet tall, had fair skin and beautiful faces, and their singing voices were unmatched in the world.

Anyone who heard them sing would be lured by the sound and would willingly stay with the Merfolk Clan.

Besides their singing, the merfolk had another special trait that made countless cultivators covet them: their tears.

When merfolk cried, their tears turned into small white pearls. If those white pearls were ground into powder and spread on wounds, the wounds would heal without any medicine. So these white pearls were called No-Medicine Pearls.

In order to get the rare No-Medicine Pearls, countless cultivators went into the deep sea to hunt merfolk and force them to cry. The merfolk race quickly disappeared from the Nanming Sea.

When Yu Zhao had heard Little Red tell stories about the Merfolk Clan before, she had thought they were made-up tales and had not taken them seriously.

Now, seeing this strange blue heart and hearing the enchanting song, Yu Zhao began to believe that the merfolk race really did exist in the cultivation world.

With that thought, her heart sank.

If the stories were true, then the merfolk had really suffered a great disaster. Could this still-beating heart be a remnant from that catastrophe?

Maybe her emotions had fluctuated too much. Her vision blurred, and she was suddenly dragged into an illusory realm.

The illusory realms Yu Zhao created were formed from whatever each person had in their heart. The methods of this suspected merfolk heart were far more crude.

Yu Zhao was so sure of this because she was actually seeing Fang Cheng Lang, Lan Zi Yu, and the others wearing gaudy clothes and dancing in front of her.

Yes, dancing. And they were dancing indecent, obscene dances.

It was simply corrupt and disgraceful!

Yu Zhao clapped happily along with the beat while she righteously criticized them in her heart: [This is simply indecent!]

She had to admit, watching usually stern and proper Fang Cheng Lang and the others act so lewd did put her in a very good mood.

[Even if it’s fake, at least I can feast my eyes. Those ten high-grade spirit stones for the ticket were really worth it.]

Just then, “Fang Cheng Lang” suddenly picked up a cup of wine and moved toward Yu Zhao with light steps.

Yu Zhao’s body instinctively leaned back a little.

His outfit was simply too hard on the eyes. She could hardly stand it.

For the sake of figuring out the blue heart’s goal, Yu Zhao forced herself to endure. She even pulled the corners of her lips up into a bright, delighted smile.

“Fang Cheng Lang” walked up to her and let out a coy giggle. Without saying a word, he raised the wine cup to her lips and poured the wine in.

Yu Zhao tilted her head back and drank.

This was inside her own illusory realm, so she was sure the wine would not be a problem.

If she had been anywhere else, she definitely would not have dared drink it. Who knew what might have been added to it?

“Zhao Zhao~”

“Fang Cheng Lang” suddenly called Yu Zhao by name, then reached out to stroke her hair.

Yu Zhao clamped down on her temper again and again. She nearly bit her teeth to pieces just to hold back the urge to kick this fake one away.

Before this, she had already thought that Fang Cheng Lang and the others in real life were annoying enough. Now, compared to these low-quality imitations, the real Fang Cheng Lang and his friends did not seem quite so hateful.

Seeing that Yu Zhao did not resist, a flash of coldness quickly passed through the charming eyes of “Fang Cheng Lang”. A faint light glowed at his fingertips.

In the next moment, just as his hand was about to touch the back of Yu Zhao’s head, Yu Zhao suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

“Fang Cheng Lang” was startled. He lowered his head to look at Yu Zhao, and met a pair of clear, bright eyes.

She had not been confused by the song!

Once “Fang Cheng Lang” realized this, he tried to escape at once, but Yu Zhao’s grip held him firmly in place. He could not move at all.

“Let me see what trick you’re trying to play.”

Yu Zhao pulled “Fang Cheng Lang’s” hand up in front of her and looked closely at it. Then she compared what she saw with Wanderer Bright Moon’s memories. She quickly recognized the meaning of the rune at his fingertip.

“A heart devil seed? You want to plant a heart devil seed in my sea of consciousness.”

The color drained from “Fang Cheng Lang’s” face.

Not only had he been caught, his plan had also been exposed.

[He was doomed.]
