Chapter 362: Days In The Forbidden Island.
Chapter 362: Days In The Forbidden Island.
After Snow missed the first time of being intimate with his lover, three days have quickly passed by while he continues to search the entire lake, only to end up failing since he can't find what he has been looking for.
At this rate, the cracked shell of the unborn child of the Siren would die.
Honestly, there are too many limitations regarding the task Snow has gotten, especially when using the cheat objects in the Blackhearted Trade Shop.
If it allowed, Snow would have bought some healing skill in the trade shop in order to quickly save the large shells in his arms.
"...Uncle mermaid, can I play with the Baby?"
There is also the stubborn baby dragon always wanting to kidnap the unborn child in Snow arms, honestly, the Siren child wasn't even born yet and there is already someone trying to arch the cabbage he wanted to pamper and take care of.
After all, as the only Siren alive, Snow has determined to become the Father or Uncle of the baby siren.
"Xaver, don't disturb him. By the way, would you like to try the new dish I made for today's lunch?"
Of course, there is also Snow soon-to-be lover who wanted to kidnap him too, honestly, this pair of uncles and nephews are pure evil with bad intentions toward them.
Nonetheless, Snow has chosen to stop swimming in the lake and skillfully landing on the ground before calmly walking to the newly created living place that his lover has decided to build a bit further in the clear lake.
In the past three days, Snow has been slowly getting used to the group of men's presence while quickly getting along with the increasingly gentle elf filled with a kind smile.
Particularly after eating the man dishes that don't affect the Siren taste, it seemed that eating hot food isn't unusual to the sea races and wasn't unsavory from what the client has considered.
"Here you go, although it was a simple dishes but I hope you would like it."
As soon as Snow has taken a sit, which is made from the trunk of trees, a plate of grilled garlic lobster cut in half along with a simple fish soup with fresh herbs on it was place on a folded table before him.
Although the group of men was stranded on the Island, there are still useful tools and ingredients that they have gotten from their broken ship, so their foods weren't tasteless.
The only trouble the group of men got was completely unable to leave the Forbidden Island while having no other food to eat besides the wild vegetables and fruits in the forest.
"Somehow, watching you skillfully use the chopsticks and the other utensil around makes me so happy."
Snow was already used to the unusually happy and gentle lover who has been praising him in the past few days, especially when his lover has been patiently teaching him how to live as a normal human, well, like a race living in the land.
"... boss, I don't even know you anymore."
Eugene couldn't help but shake his head after witnessing how his childhood friend has been thoughtfully and carefully teaching the stunning mermaid about the life of the people living in the land.
Especially when the man who is usually easy to lost control of his emotions has been extremely patient and tolerant enough when dealing with the stunning mermaid who was learning the way of the human race.
The main purpose and reason were so that the stunning mermaid is able to easily integrate into their world after they finally left the Forbidden Island and getting back in their country.
While the male witch mumble in the side, Snow has carefully drunk the bowl of fish soup using a spoon while at the exact time, gently slapping the small hand of the baby dragon trying to touch the unborn child in his lap.
Of course, Snow didn't also forget to throw an alluring smile with an innocent look in his eyes toward the tall handsome man who was waiting for his reaction after tasting the dish he personally made.
As a Siren, Snow has decided to be the active one in their growing relationship, which is to completely charm and seduce his increasingly adorable lover because just look at those flush ears of his lover who tried to have a calm expression on his face.
Isn't the man so lovely and adorable? No matter what identity and appearance the man have in every world, it seemed that Snow would quickly find the man completely pleasing to the eyes.
So, it wasn't surprising when every movement and expression Snow has shown, all of it has the charm and allure of the Siren race, of course, he has completely made sure that it was all done toward his lover.
"... cough just like the last time, would you like me to teach you again about the human world after you finish eating?"
Snow has calmly nodded his head while using his slender fingers to take the plump meat from half of the grilled lobster before gently putting it in his mouth.
Of course, he didn't forget to show the tip of his slippery red tongue and unconsciously licking his wet lip before his golden eyes squinting with a satisfied expression.
"... Boss why do I feel like you are being teased and seduce by the mermaid?"
Aside from Claus and among the group of men around, only Eugene has been able to accidentally see the ambiguous actions of the stunning mermaid toward Claus, who usually become dazed after seeing the alluring sight of the mermaid before him.
"You think so?"
Eugene's expression has instantly twisted when instead of becoming suspicious, Claus has instantly shown a pleasant smile while his deep green eyes glowed with unusual delight and expectation after hearing what he has just spoken.
I never know you will become like this after being planted. My friend, you have changed...
While the two men were speaking in a soft voice, which they assumed the mermaid couldn't hear, Snow couldn't help but use his unfathomable golden eyes to stare at the dragon child who was constantly acting cute with those pair of large purple eyes pitifully staring in his direction.
heh, too bad child, my Flake looks far adorable than you are.
So, for the rest of the free time, Snow continues to tease the dragon child with the unborn child in his arms before teasing his lover who wanted to get to know him better.
Of course, Snow was unable to speak and write so they don't know how to call him yet, so he remains 'you' or just 'mermaid' whenever they speak to him.
Soon, another peaceful day has passed by while he continues to swim around the lake while trying hard to once again remember the information relating to what he was looking for in the client's memories.
Although most of it was vague, just like the prophet who doesn't tell direct details of what he has predicted, Snow can still figure out that a special day is needed for the special power or skill to finally show itself.
And fortunately, Snow luck seemed to have become better because instead of waiting for a longer time in the Forbidden Island, what he has been looking for has finally appeared when the full moon has shone brightly in the dark sky.
So, when the moonlight has landed in the clear large lake, the entire area around it has suddenly changed appearance, the usually clear water has slowly become completely frozen before a beautiful large altar made of ice has slowly form in the middle, which has vaguely blocking everyone from seeing what is inside it.
It's really cold
As soon as Snow has taken a step into the clear frozen lake his body has instantly started shaking from coldness while the curse bestowed upon him has triple in pain whenever he walks.
Such effect completely showed how the frozen lake has the ability to enhance a curse, while at the same time, it was a process in order to test whoever enters the Forbidden Island with the goal of using the power hidden within it.
Pain huh I'm quite used to it.
Snow expression didn't change aside from the extremely paling of his face before taking a slow and steady step toward the ice altar, of course, he has already expressed to the group of men to stay away while silently watching on the sideline.
After a few minutes of walking, Snow has finally reached the ice altar and was able to see what has been inside it after entering.
It was a glowing night pearl in ocean color, the same size as an ordinary pearl, which was sitting in the middle of an open large clamshell, completely similar in the large clamshell in his arms.
If there is a mother tree for the elf race in the past, then there is also some sort of special existence meant for the Siren race, which is what Snow was facing.
There is a definite reason why among the Forbidden place in the entire ocean, the information of this Island was secretly passed down in the Siren Race.
However, since the Siren race still exists, the special existence before Snow wouldn't easily give its blessing just like the Mother Tree.
So, Snow wasn't surprised one bit that the moment he reaches over to take pick the glowing night pearl, a certain price is needed to pay in order to use it.
And the night pearl required a severe price to the individual along with bestowing another special curse that would last for a lifetime.
If it was another Siren Race being told what they needed to give up in order to exchange a power that they could not easily use for themselves, then Snow was positively sure that they would absolutely give it up.
Of course, unless the individual is extremely desperate and already on its last end.
Alright, I will give it to you and I accept the curse in exchange for using your power.
Although Snow was in an entirely different situation but he didn't hesitate to accept the requirement the night pearl was asking before calmly picking it up with his hands without an ounce of hesitation.
Ding!
Another Curse Is Bestowed To Granter Snow
Unbreathable:
Unable to live in the seawater for a long time and when finally reaching the time limit, the individual wouldn't be able to breathe in the water.
It was an extremely heavy and cruel price to pay for a sea creature who lives in the sea and is extremely proud of its existence. The curse was basically asking the sea race to live in the land.
Particularly after receiving the curse of feeling the torturous pain whenever they walk in the land using the human legs.
There is also the fact that aside from the lifetime curse, Snow also needed to give half of a Siren extremely long life.
Of course, there is a reason why Snow didn't hesitate to pay the price of giving up hundreds of years of his life, which wasn't only because of the first mission of the client, it was because he knows what race his lover is.
Compare to the long life span of the Siren Race, a special human race has a shorter life span, which is normally 300 hundred years long, and Snow still has a thousand years to live if he weren't killed, dying in an accident, or experiencing a natural death.
Unlike in the previous world, the two of them don't have the same length of lifespan.
So, there wasn't much difference if Snow losses a hundred few years of his life for the price.
As soon as the exchange has been completed, the frozen clear lake and the ice altar have completely disappeared causing Snow to fall down in the water with his pair of human legs swiftly turning into the beautiful blue fishtail.
It's finally time to leave the Forbidden Island.
Snow showed an extremely bright smile while at the same time, a beautiful clamshell mark has slowly appeared between his eyebrows, which has easily added to his charm and allure, causing the burning gaze on his figure to become hotter.
... child, you have to quickly come out so I can start dealing with the mermaid race...
Snow lowered his head to stare at the dim large clamshell slowly being healed in his arms before turning his head to the waiting figure of his lover standing on the edge of the lake.
Well...
Child, I don't mind if you take your time to come out. I can just use my free time to seduce that lovely and handsome man for a while.
