Chapter 1081: Song

“Adeline, we promised Helen not to say it.” Ms. Black Dragon called out immediately.

“I still can’t do it.” Adeline said with a bitter smile, “I can’t sit back and watch her contribution to Chen Rui. At least, Chen Rui should know the truth.”

“What do you mean? Helen’s contribution?” Chen Rui frowned, “What happened?”

“Master, uh… I’ll say it. It’s already been revealed anyway.” Lalaria spread her hands, “When you were in that iceland, you were unconscious, and your soul was about to collapse. The situation was very dangerous, so Helen activated some kind of talent to save you.”

“Helen?” Chen Rui suddenly realized, and he finally understood the reason why his soul recovered and was strengthened.

“Helen, she…” Adeline sighed, “gave you the Siren’s Heart.”

Siren’s Heart! Chen Rui was shocked. He knew the term because the Corpse Necromancer Guradam’s advancement needed the Siren’s Heart. The Siren’s Heart was the siren’s most precious vital crystal. It was very special. No one could get the Siren’s Heart by force unless it was voluntary.

Later, when he went to the Dead Sea to ask the Dark Elemental King to dispel the [Light Annihilation Seal] in order to save Isabella, he happened to be attacked by sea creatures when he and the Earth Elemental King passed the Requim Sea Area. This was the first time he saw Helen. Compared with her beauty, Helen gave her the biggest impression of being stubborn and unyielding. Later, he came to the Dead Sea with the Old Dragon Emperor Father-in-law Auglas again, defeated the Holy Dragon Rodriguez, and saved all the sea creature tribes of the sea area including the siren tribe. In the end, the Old Dragon Emperor Father-in-law took the little mermaid princess in order to heal Olypheus with her singing.

Facing the powerful Auglas, Helen still did not yield and never surrendered the Siren’s Heart. Later, when she gradually integrated into the Dark Moon family, Chen Rui never mentioned the Siren’s Heart again because the siren who lost the Siren’s Heart would be greatly hurt. He didn’t want to hurt a friend like that.

Unfortunately, that little mermaid princess had never been appreciative. She was still haunted by someone’s ‘evil deeds’ of ‘robbing people’s women’. She had always been hostile to Chen Rui. This attitude made the women in the harem feel very at ease with Helen, and their relationship was naturally very harmonious; even above Adeline. Sometimes they even confided in her about their dissatisfaction and grievances, so the little mermaid princess who had first-hand information often criticized the male protagonist with a vicious mouth, making him speechless.

In the group of relatives and friends, the little mermaid princess was obviously the most special existence. Perhaps in Helen’s mind, Chen Rui had never been regarded as a real friend.

Unexpectedly, this time Helen actually gave him the Siren’s Heart.

For a while, Chen Rui was silent. After some time, he said, “Let’s go to the Soul Reqium Sea Area.”

Everyone said goodbye to the nagas’ Matriarch Modesty. Before leaving, Modesty looked at Adeline. She never spoke to her, but after Adeline stepped onto the Star Ship, she whispered to Chen Rui, “Take care of her.”

Chen Rui nodded to Modesty. Soon, the Star Ship lifted off into the sky and flew toward the Requiem Sea Area.

The Star Ship’s speed was very fast, and it only took a moment to reach the Soul Song Sea Area. This was not the first time the sirens had seen the Star Ship, so they were not as panicked as they were last time.

Soon, the Matriarch of the siren tribe, Elena, Helen’s mother, appeared in front of Chen Rui.

“Aguile… Sir.” Elena bowed. Her gaze toward him was obviously a bit different from the last time.

Chen Rui knew that Elena must know something, “Matriarch Elena, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before. I’m Chen Rui, Aguile is just my pseudonym. I want to meet Helen.”

“I’m so sorry, Sir Chen Rui. Helen said… she doesn’t want to see you. She doesn’t want to see anyone. Please go back.”

“I just want to say a few words to her. I will definitely not force her to do anything.”

“Sorry, I can’t agree to sir’s request.” Elena stared at Chen Rui for a moment and sighed while shaking her head, “The siren tribe’s character is very persistent. Once we decide something, it will not change. If sir is really caring for her, please don’t force it; give her some time first.”

Elena seemed a little weird to Chen Rui. She seemed to have misunderstood the relationship between him and Helen.

Chen Rui thought for a while, but he still didn’t explain. He gave Elena a bow and turned away.

When Chen Rui flew in front of the Star Ship in the air, he faintly heard a singing.

Familiar singing.

It carried a strange power that seemed to resonate with his soul.

It was her singing.

Castle in the Sky.

Chen Rui looked around, only to see the rolling waves and the quiet silhouettes of the sirens. The singing seemed to be coming from all directions, and he could not identify the specific source. It was just the melody that went straight into his soul and could not be dissipated for a long time.

At this moment, Chen Rui sensed a feeling that he couldn’t even explain as if something suddenly entered his heart. He couldn’t help but cheer. He couldn’t be sure now whether ‘something’ was misunderstood by Elena or himself.

In any case, this wouldn’t be the last time he hears this song, and it wouldn’t be the last time he comes to the Requiem Sea Area.

In the sea, a figure floated above the sea while singing a beautiful and slightly melancholic song, letting the moonlight dye her long silver-white hair into a faint purple. She watched the huge city disappear in the vision and slowly closed her golden eyes.

The Star Ship’s speed was very fast. It had left the Dead Sea and flew toward the Dark Moon Estate.

Lalaria was in the City of Stars for the first time, and everything inside was so shocking that the flat-chested loli was stunned. However, her little partner, Ms. Black Dragon, was no stranger to it. She showed her around in a spirited way as if she was the owner. In fact, this little girl had not been there many times, especially after the City of Star advanced to level 6 civilization metropolitan where great changes had been made. Therefore, she lost her way after just turning around for a while.

Fortunately, the chick knew the killing move of ‘summoning the boss’. After shouting, they were automatically teleported to the game room that she wanted to go to. Olypheus enjoyed Lalaria’s surprised look, and she led her in.

There were various types of games. Namely martial fighting, management, tile-matching, and so on. Unlike ‘Infinite Warrior OL’, they were not introduced to the Demon Realm. They were the internal beta version of Chen Rui’s original ‘game faith plan’. Lalaria was quickly hooked and had a lot of fun with Ms. Black Dragon.

Compared with the heartlessness of the 2 chicks, Adeline was much more sensitive. She could see that after Chen Rui left the Requiem Sea Area, his mood had been a little low. The naga girl didn’t make a sound. She just quietly stayed by his side.

Chen Rui felt something strange. He quickly calmed down, closed his eyes, and entered the Super System.

Veronica was standing in front of the Tower of Faith with Python beside her.

Chen Rui nodded and said, “It seems that you completed the task ahead of time, Veronica.”

“It’s because the deadline you gave is too long. With her experience and ability, it doesn’t take 3 days at all.” Veronica looked at Python, “I still have a lot of unresolved prayers, so I’ll leave first.”

“Veronica.”

Chen Rui’s voice made Veronica pause.

“Thank you.”

Veronica could hear that these were not ordinary polite words. She smiled gently, turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the Pillar of Faith.

“She likes you very much,” said Python, who had been silent for a while.

Chen Rui shook his head gently, “She likes another person, or rather, another person likes her.”

“But she definitely won’t like a second person anymore, even if she can get out of here and be reborn.”

“She can be reborn?”

“I have the [Soul Transfer] technique, which can perfectly transfer the soul into a new body. This is equivalent to a real resurrection. That’s why after I snatched the silver box back then, I decisively gave up my body.” Python said indifferently, “It’s just that, even if she can be reborn, she won’t leave here.”

“These… are all off-topic.” Chen Rui changed the subject, “As for your personal experience, don’t you want to say something else?”

“Veronica took me to many places, including the temple of Wisdom Goddess and Knowledge Goddess.” Python was really shocked at first, but now she had calmed down, “I can’t believe what I see, and I can’t explain what kind of existence you are like. It’s a real universe that’s growing in size and power, and you’re the master and God of this universe?”

“There is no such weak God.” Chen Rui shook his head, “According to my true strength, I’m not your opponent now.”

“The first time I contacted you, you were only the lowest level of strength at that time. In less than 10 years, you have the power that is almost on par with me. If it is another 10 years…” Python took a deep breath, “I am really wrong. Satan is also wrong. He will surely regret giving you 10 years.”

“I can give you the corresponding power. As long as you can comprehend the real power of the 2-star, you can have the same special Goddess position and faith as Zola and Catherine.”

“Goddess position? So, can I also become a Goddess?” Python smiled, “It’s a strange feeling, as if something I’ve been pursuing has reappeared in front of my eyes after I thought it was lost. Plus, it was gained so easily, although it’s a little different from what I expected.”

Chen Rui stared into Python’s eyes, “You don’t want to say anything? For example, I’m who you think I am…”

“It’s too early to judge like this. I have made a choice, no matter who you are and whether my choice is right or wrong…”

Python shook her head and looked at Chen Rui deeply, but her eyes saw through him and fixed on the starry sky behind him as if she was remembering something. After a long time, she said, “I just don’t want to regret it anymore.”

Chen Rui didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence, but he felt a trace of inexplicable frustration in Python’s tone. He suddenly thought of the singing under the moonlight and fell into contemplation.

In the Star Ship, Adeline, who had been by his side, couldn’t help showing joy when she saw Chen Rui open his eyes.

Chen Rui felt warm, “Sorry for worrying you, Adeline.”

The naga girl’s eyes lit up, and she shook her head.

“I’m all right.” Chen Rui smiled and took out a lot of delicate gadgets, “By the way, I brought back some small gifts from the human world. You can choose what you like first. If Olypheus, the little miser, is here, she will take it all.”

“En.” Adeline blushed slightly and nodded.
