Chapter 2391: Song of the Merpeople (2)
“The clear and penetrating blue, the stillness of the bright horizon…”
The merpeople’s song reverberated through the beautiful palace, sad and moving. Each sentence was like
a piece of ice falling to the ground, crisp but giving o bursts of tingling.
They kept singing, singing the saddest songs in their life over and over again and they did not dare to
stop.
Satan listened quietly, and the more the song sounded mournful, the more pleasant it sounded to him.
Bo Er, the king of the merfolk, was oating in the sea. The blood in his mouth spread through the salty
water, lling the whole palace with a thick smell of blood.
Through the scent of blood, the singing merpeople could only choke back their sobs and did not let the
sound of a cry overow from their mouth.
Shen Yanxiao looked at these poor merpeople and held the trident of Neptune in her hand. After such a
long time, half of the divine power in Neptune’s trident had disappeared, and only a little of it remained.
Shen Yanxiao quietly grasped Neptune’s trident and silently transferred the remaining divine power of
Neptune’s trident to her heart lake, where Xiu’s gure was sleeping.
Shen Yanxiao was not sure whether this would work or not. She had never seen Xiu absorb any divine
power. He took dark elements as his food. However, they were both gods, so this so-called divine power
should be applicable to him as well.
Holding the attitude of an equine veterinarian treating a dying horse back to life, Shen Yanxiao could only
try this method.
In her current situation, she could not be Satan’s opponent. She could only rely on all available things
around her to wake Xiu up earlier.
Even if Xiu could not repel Satan at present, at least he could leave the merfolk’s hometown and nd the
others on the island to help.
Shen Yanxiao did not intend to let Xiu ght Satan directly, which would cause him to become tired again.
All the powers of Shen Yanxiao were shackled by the handcus. Hence, she absorbed the divine power
very slowly. She had to be extra careful in order to not be discovered by Satan.
The merpeople kept singing and Bo Er nally woke up from his unconscious state. He looked at his people
who had no choice but to sing loudly under Satan’s threat. His heart was stirred as though it had been
stabbed with a knife.
Satan seemed to be very satised with the performance of the merpeople. He no longer raged, nor did he
still intend to kill the merpeople. He was just like a beast teasing its prey and watching their fear before
they died.
The despair of a beauty always touched the soul the most.
Unfortunately, Satan was not a human being at all.
He had the hardest heart in the world and would not be touched by anything.
“Little fellow, if I remember correctly, you still have three bloodlines that haven’t awakened, am I right?”
Satan looked at Shen Yanxiao, his eyes ashing with a malicious light.
“Yes.” Shen Yanxiao answered honestly. As long as Satan did not take the Neptune’s trident away,
everything would be ne.
“What are the conditions for awakening?” Satan asked further.
“Everything depends on fate.” Shen Yanxiao herself didn’t know why every awakening of her bloodlines
was so strange. It would occur without any warning. The worst was the awakening of her dwarven blood,
not the contact between her blood and the blood of a dwarf, but her transformation after that.
Basically, the preconditions for her awakening were dierent for each race, which was beyond her
control.
“Ouyang Huanyu said, as long as you use a stimulus from the race whose blood you want to awaken, it
will bring out the bloodline. Stimulus, huh? Is it blood, or a heart? Or it can be the soul.” Satan held his
chin in one hand, cocked his head slightly, and looked at Shen Yanxiao.
