While having breakfast, Stelle was constantly trembling. Her fear had been on its peak.
Wanting to be killed? According to her knowledge about the law, it could be her outcome.
If she were the judge, putting a hanging sentence on the one who firstly was a criminal and secondly
looked down on the court of law while being questioned, then dozed off, was not too much, but on the contrary, was quite reasonable.
It was just that she didn’t want to die!
She originally wasn’t afraid of death. Especially at these times, after having gone
through many places and through so many things, she felt deeply about the vast Heaven and Earth.
There were still many places she wanted to see. She was not willing to part with this world right now!
I had a blast yesterday and had fun creating this big mess. As a result, in a blink, I may be sentenced to
death... This is so doomed!
She didn’t doubt Sui Xiong’s words. The towering furious appearance of the Jellyfish God was absolutely
not an act. In fact, not beating her to death right on the spot was considered good luck to her.
But this just simply delayed the death sentence a little bit longer...
Due to her fear, her meal tasted like a mere wash. She even dropped her spoon several times on the
table. After forcing herself to finish breakfast, when she packed her luggage to leave the village, she was
feeling even more tense.
Execution of course has to be done outside the village. It is not polite to hang someone up to death in
someone else’s village!
After they had gone quite a distance and passed a crooked ancient tree, Sui Xiong commanded
everyone to stop.
"Enough, let’s use this place. This tree is very appropriate." He brutally said, full of murderous intent,
"Stelle, are you ready?"
When hearing this, Stelle assumed that the time of her death had finally come. Her legs couldn’t
stand anymore as she curled up on the ground.
Lei was also startled, he rolled his eyes as he always thought that Sui Xiong was kidding or just talking
or doing this just to scare Stelle a little bit. He didn’t imagine the Highness Hollow Mask
would really kill Stelle.
If he were able to see the top of his head, he would have known that his guess was not wrong-- --
although the tone of the green jellyfish was extremely ferocious, his eyes were clearly smiling.
Sui Xiong gently swung up his tentacles, flying up from the top of Lei’s head. He shook his body to
transform, turned into a giant jellyfish, which was bigger than an average-sized room. One by one, his
tentacles emitted a dark power’s blue light. Each one of them looked like a rope as well as a ferocious
snake that could firmly lock and strangle the enemy to death.
When a tentacle grabbed Stelle, although normally she was very daring, she couldn’t help but shriek
loudly.
However, Sui Xiong didn’t hang her up on the tree beside, but instead, opened his mouth widely like a
sacrificial bowl and swallowed her down.
Lei’s eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped as he saw this, recalling his memory to see again what he
had missed.
Hadn’t he said he would kill her here? How can it turn into swallowing? Isn’t the Highness Jellyfish
God sunbathing and drinking water by the ancient tree enough? How can he immediately turn into a
human-eating monster?
This style is not right!
After a while, the jellyfish’s mouth opened and spat out Stelle, who was still undamaged. But the
Tightening Headband was no longer on her forehead. Instead, there were two bracelets looking like
birthmarks on the back of her hands.
The left bracelet was red, while the right one was blue. Looking closely, each bracelet had two layers
inside and out. In the middle of the bracelet were many vertical strokes, separating the ring into
twelve equal checks.
The red bracelet had twelve checks inside. Above the first check was a group of jiggling rays, which
looked like a flame. Inside the twelve checks on the blue bracelet were empty; there was nothing.
"I have carefully considered. I feel that the Tightening Headband is too simple and brutal. Moreover, it
has to rely on Lei’s supervision." Sui Xiong let out two dry coughs, cleared his throat, then talked to the
two people who still had no idea what was happening, "Therefore, I have decided to change
the method."
"The two bracelets on your hands, the red one represents ‘desire’, and the blue one represents
‘virtue’. Whenever the desire surges inside your heart, the flame inside the red bracelet will be ignited.
If the entire twelve flames are ignited..."
Speaking to this point, he stopped, coughed dryly, indicating that the story had reached the climax.
These days, Lei had got accustomed to his speaking style and he immediately understood Sui Xiong’s
Intention as he smilingly asked, "What will happen?"
"Hahaha-- Turn! Into! A pig!"
Turn into a pig?!
Stelle shrieked out with fear, didn’t ever expect that she would pass the threat of death from Sui Xiong
but having to face a terror that was not much better than death.
To a beauty enthusiast, if they were made to choose between "turning into an ugly pig" and "being
killed", the number of people who chose the second option would be more likely bigger than the first
one.
"Turn... Turn... Turn into a pig?!" She couldn’t help but ask while trembling, "Why... become... a pig?"
Sui Xiong didn’t expect she would ask this and used his tentacles to scratch his head and said,:
"In some distant country, there was an old story. A brave, handsome, sturdy monk wanted to go to
the remote Western country to acquire the legendary treasure, which was said to be able to save the
world. Under his command was a monkey with a nasty character, a pig which always had oestrus, a
water monster whose head was full of sick thoughts, and a useless horse which had nothing except for
its good looks."
"If this is the case.... Last time when you advised me to shave my head, did you want me to actually do it
Stelle was still a little muddle-headed, but Lei had recovered his mind, remembering the matter that
occurred not too long ago.
That day, when they had been camping, Stelle had angered Lei once again, which made him chant the
Band-tightening Spell. At that time, Sui Xiong had thought about something then had laughed out loud.
After that, he had asked Lei if he had wanted to shave his head and change his clothes and had also said
that he could have helped him create two powerful magic weapons, which were called "Nine Rings
Pewter Staff" and "Brocade Kasaya".
Lei of course really wanted a powerful magic weapon. But when he saw Sui Xiong drawing the design, he
regretfully declined this offer.
How can he wear an outfit that made him look like a martial monk?
After that, Sui Xiong didn’t remind him of this story, which made Lei feel regretted when he recalled it-- -
- in fact, as long as I don’t need to shave my head, changing clothes is not a problem. My black leather
armor is a little eye-catching. Changing it is not a bad thing.
But now, he was finally clear that Sui Xiong obviously wanted to act as the monk character!
When thinking about this, he couldn’t help but shake his head and bitterly smile.
This Highness Hollow Mask’s power is indeed mighty. His personality is also kind. What a pity, his
thinking is too abnormal. He usually thinks of crazy stories, tells a little bit of them, which are
inexplicable, giving people some funny and extremely embarrassing ideas.
Or it is the so-called "a perfect thing always has a regrettable point"...
After smiling for a while, Lei turned to Sui Xiong to ask, "You just said, the red bracelet represents
‘desire’, the blue bracelet represents ‘virtue’, so if ‘desire’ is a punishment, then is ‘virtue’ perhaps a
reward?"
"That’s right!" Sui Xiong used his force to swing up the tentacles, like swinging his arms, "Until now, I’ve
always focused on restraining her not paying any attention to leading her. Therefore, I want to make a
big change. From now on, whenever she does a good deed, it will accumulate ‘virtue’, people’s
gratitude will be accumulated inside the blue bracelet. When the accumulation reaches a certain level,
the flame inside the blue bracelet will be ignited. After twelve flames are ignited, she can get one
‘perfect wishing magic’."
"A perfect wishing magic?!" Lei thought for a long time but he couldn’t remember there was such
magic, and thus curiously asked, "What’s the difference between this magic and other wishing magic?
The wishing magic is very unreasonable. If the word ‘perfect’ is added, it still sounds unreasonable like
before..."
This was not Lei’s sarcasm but he was telling the truth.
The wishing magic group was always unreliable.
Someone said that this magic group’s principle was "through the understanding and modification of this
world to fulfill one’s wish". At first glance, it may appear very powerful, but in reality, it was a little
bit deceitful-- -- - the world itself didn’t resist the changing tendency. When a person tried to use a
wishing magic to achieve a goal, the worst scenario was not that one’s wish couldn’t be fulfilled, but it
was accomplished by some bewildering ways.
For example, the relatively low-level "Second class wishing magic", in theory, could stimulate any
"mid-level" quality magic. It didn’t matter if one didn’t have the necessary materials to display this
magic or understand this magic. This magic could break any negative or positive magic effects, including
breaking curse, displaying any effects of a "low-level adventurer". If one could get a reward it was
good, but getting a result was good as well. There was no problem.
Well, theoretically, it was possible.
But in fact, except for some experiences with pretty reliable wishes-- -- -for example, stimulating other
magic-- -- apart from that, any other wishes were all distorted, implemented by an unknown
dumbfounding method.
Many years ago, Lei had accidentally obtained a second-class wishing magic scroll. After having
carefully thought about his wish, he used it for the wish of "I want to become the strongest warrior in
the world".
The result was... He had received the invitation to participate in a "Competition for the strongest
warrior". After that, he applied for it and was full of excitement. Only then did he
realize the participants had been just a bunch of beginner level newbie adventurers. Later on, he
found out that this had just been a self-organized competition from a small region.
That was right. He had really won the competition, and had received the bronze medal of "the
strongest warrior", but this medal didn’t have any meaning.
This was like a bunch of martial arts newbies, rushing over the Hua mountain to compete, then picking
"number one in the country" among those hypocrites. But this was just a mockery.
This had hit Lei hard. He even had several disputes because of it.
Added with some other matters later, he didn’t have a good impression
about wishing magic. He even doubted many times that the great sage was drunk when inventing
this magic or if he had some problems with his brain.
That magic is not useful at all, just a pure trap!
Although, the profile of the past of Highness Hollow Mask is not bad and his personality is very
trustworthy, that "Perfect wishing magic" seems more high-end than the "second class wishing
magic" or "wishing magic"...
But... This perfect wishing magic thing itself is unreasonable!
