After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

Merfolk are masters of bewitching people; skilled merfolk can lure their prey to their hunting grounds simply by using their looks and voices.

Lancang has the blood of the Western Sea royal family flowing through his body, and his appearance is among the best of all the merfolk.

This lake, deliberately hidden by a maze, is his hunting ground.

Chu Luobai looked around and noticed that white mist had somehow filled the surrounding area.

If I had taken another step forward, I would have been dragged into the lake by Lancang.

She really is a 'simple-minded' merman.

Recalling the demons that Lancang secretly released in his previous life, and the disciples who died tragically in the mouths of the demons.

An uncontrollable surge of anger rose within Chu Luobai.

The immense spiritual energy exploded instantly, and in just a moment, the gradually thickening white mist vanished without a trace.

Lancang's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"how come...."

He originally intended to rebuild the damaged maze while Chu Luobai was still not on high alert.

It can break through the maze and instantly dispel the fog.

Could this woman before me have already entered the Void Refinement Realm?

Her cultivation level was higher than that of the female cultivator he had previously set his sights on.

Chu Luobai looked at Lan Cang and saw that the beauty opposite him had lowered her eyes and her face was pale, as if she would break at any moment.

After a long pause, Lancang finally spoke slowly.

“This monk, I am merely lodging here and have never done anything immoral or unethical.”

"Could the cultivator please show me leniency?"

Her pitiful appearance was even more endearing than that of the actors at the Nanfeng Pavilion.

"I thought you were going to drag me to the bottom of the lake. You were a bit too rough."

Chu Luobai smiled slightly and sheathed Lingxiao.

Looking at Chu Luobai's smile, Lancang felt uncertain for a moment.

He couldn't figure out what the swordsman in front of him was thinking, and he was certain that he had never seen this person before.

But why would the other person know my name?

Moreover, the aura I sensed earlier did not originate from this person.

At this moment, Lancang felt an overwhelming sense of regret.

If he had known he would encounter such an unfathomable person, he should have taken the initiative to show himself in front of the female cultivator from before.

That female cultivator's name seems to be Fang Xingyu.

With his low cultivation level, this person in front of him would have been much easier to control.

"Since it's all a misunderstanding, I'll return to the lake now."

Lancang flicked its tail, trying to return to the lake.

The fish's once deep blue tail was now covered in dust, and when it stood up, some fallen leaves were also stuck to its head.

He was in a sorry state, yet he still possessed a certain charm of a fallen nobleman.

Chu Luobai crossed her arms and tilted her head, a hint of amusement flashing in her eyes.

She's good-looking and a good actress.

No wonder Fang Xingyu was deceived in her past life, and even endured the lightning punishment for him willingly.

Seeing that Chu Luobai was staring at him without saying anything, Lan Cang began to slowly move his body.

His long, silvery-white hair cascaded down his back, and with each movement, his bare upper body was revealed.

"Sorry, I can't get through. Could you please help me?"

Lan Cang's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked embarrassed. Her azure eyes rose to look at Chu Luobai, shimmering with light.

"Have you always lived here?"

Chu Luobai paused slightly, a look of sympathy in her eyes, and extended her right hand to Lan Cang.

“I have been here since I was born and have never been anywhere else. Merfolk cannot walk on land.”

Lan Cang lowered his eyes slightly, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"Master! This merman is a complete liar!"

"Mermaids' fish tails can transform into legs! How could they not walk on land!"

Hulu screamed in anger, but Chu Luobai had cast a spell on her, so Lancang couldn't see her or hear her.

"puff."

Seeing Hulu's frantic state, Chu Luobai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"...?"

Lan Cang felt a chill run down his spine. Had he said something wrong?

This female cultivator shouldn't have felt sympathy for herself and then done anything about it.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something happy. Let's continue."

Chu Luobai waved his hand, signaling the gourd to move aside.

"The world outside is so vast, don't you want to go out and see it?"

Chu Luobai took Lancang's well-defined hand, her skin delicate and smoother than the finest silk.

"You flatter me, fairy. How could I, a mermaid, just go out like that?"

Lan Cang's tone was melancholy, but his hand involuntarily tightened its grip on Chu Luobai's right hand.

"The only way to escape this secret realm is to form a contract with a cultivator. My combat strength is not strong, so I doubt anyone would be willing to form a contract with me."

Chu Luobai raised an eyebrow. Lan Cang had been beating around the bush for a long time, but finally he was getting to the point.

"Would you like to form a bond? If you're willing, I can take you out."

"really?"

Lancang suddenly raised his head, looking flattered and surprised, his azure eyes filled with delight, like the brightest star in the sky.

But soon, he showed a troubled expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

A beautiful woman frowning can naturally evoke pity.

Chu Luobai also followed up with questions very readily.

"What's wrong? Is someone giving you trouble and preventing you from leaving?"

Seeing that Chu Luobai had taken the bait, Lan Cang's lips curled up slightly.

"No, it's just that I heard that when a spirit beast forms a contract with a cultivator, it must be a life-or-death master-servant contract."

"If a master-servant pact is formed, they can never be separated for life. Merfolk are devoted and can only have one partner in their lifetime..."

“I’m very happy that the fairy is willing to take me out, but I feel that the fairy and I should get to know each other a little better.”

So that's where they were waiting for me.

Chu Luobai understood. In his previous life, Fang Xingyu was probably tricked into signing a contract that could be unilaterally terminated.

In reality, most spirit beasts and cultivators form alliance contracts.

Under certain conditions, such as mutual agreement, it is possible to terminate the relationship.

On the contrary, death contracts between master and servant are extremely rare.

Lancang was clearly deliberately leading people to think about a death pact between master and servant.

"There's no need for a death pact between master and servant. I'll form an alliance with you and take you out."

Chu Luobai held Lan Cang's hand and said sincerely.

"Do not."

Lancang shook his head and pulled his hand away from Chu Luobai's.

“Our Merfolk are different from your human race. Even an alliance contract can only be formed if we agree to it for life.”

"I...I don't want to hold the fairy back."

A foreign race skilled at bewitching people's hearts, yet devoted to one another? Chu Luobai hadn't heard such an interesting joke in a long time.

The idea of ​​"forever and ever" is only meant to fool the female disciples who have never been to the mortal world and live on the mountain.

In the distance, Fang Xingyu, who was trying to make contact with a small spirit beast, suddenly sneezed, and a chill inexplicably ran down her spine.

The little spirit beast was so frightened that it darted several meters away and disappeared into the dense forest.

"No!"

Fang Xingyu looked dejected and rubbed the tip of her nose.

"Is someone secretly badmouthing me?"
