Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress-Chapter 687 - 395 The Mermaid Princess Who Was Scorned

Chapter 687: Chapter 395 The Mermaid Princess Who Was Scorned by the Evil Dragon_2 Chapter 687: Chapter 395 The Mermaid Princess Who Was Scorned by the Evil Dragon_2 If it were a human, standing still like this for a while would result in a cold tomorrow.

“Reading books tonight?”

“Do whatever you want to do, haven’t relaxed much recently, no tasks tonight, hmm… seems like something is missing…”

Lance, holding a book in his left hand, thought for a moment and smiled, “It’s missing music.”

Lance took out a Music Shell from his Diamond Talisman, activated it, and placed it aside, the shell glowing with a soft light.

A gentle and soothing humming sound emitted from the shell.

Classical music?

Seems more like pure instrumental music.

As a Princess, the Young Dragon had some understanding of music, and had even studied it to some extent.

This kind of shell wasn’t an instrument from the Human World.

It must be an instrument used by the Merfolk.

The Mermaid’s song.

Mermaids are born musicians.

This saying is passed down in the Human World.

The Young Dragon had never seen a Mermaid, nor heard one sing, and did not know whether it was true or false.

However, the legendary Mermaids seemed to like to lure humans with their singing, then take them away.

“Is this hummed by a Mermaid?”

“Yes, it’s the Mermaid Princess humming.”

“???”

The Young Dragon was astonished, she had thought it was a common Mermaid’s humming, but it turned out to be the Mermaid Princess.

Could it be the Mermaid Princess who was once seized by the Evil Dragon, longing for her homeland, humming this song?

“How do you know it’s the Mermaid Princess who’s humming?”

“I asked her to record a few songs for me, she hummed it in front of me, isn’t it normal for me to know?”

“…”

As expected…

The song of an average Mermaid was already a heavenly sound, the Mermaid Princess’ singing… was even more enchanting and melodious.

She did not sense any resentment in the Mermaid Princess’ voice.

It seemed the Mermaid Princess bore no grudge against the Evil Dragon.

Perhaps when humming in the presence of the Evil Dragon, the Mermaid Princess also thought of using her enchanting and melodious voice to conquer him.

After all, she was a Mermaid Princess, certainly having such thoughts.

Princesses are all proud and aloof.

Especially those who are capable and beautiful, with good figures; even if taken away by the Evil Dragon, they would still think of fighting back, or even making the Evil Dragon serve them.

Who could refuse to have a Giant Dragon as a mount?

Before she was brought to Black Dragon Island by the Evil Dragon as a Young Dragon, she too had fantasized about one day having a majestic Giant Dragon as a mount.

A Mermaid Princess with innate talents and racial skills surely also secretly tried to conquer the Evil Dragon.

It seems she failed.

She didn’t conquer the Evil Dragon with her singing; instead, she ended up being exploited by him, becoming the exclusive songstress of the Evil Dragon…

With the Evil Dragon’s vile nature, to exploit the Mermaid Princess, he might even blatantly tell her to boldly use her singing to conquer him.

For example: “If your singing can conquer me, I’ll become your mount,” or something like that.

Or: “If your singing makes me cry, I’ll make a contract with you,” and so on…

Then the naive Mermaid Princess began her efforts to conquer the Evil Dragon, and in the end, she became the exclusive songstress of the Evil Dragon…

Huh?

Why am I crying?

The Young Dragon touched her cheek with her Dragon Claw, and indeed, she was crying.

It was the Mermaid Princess’ singing…

“No good, Dragon Cub, if even the Mermaid’s song can make you cry, you’ll be easily controlled by Spiritual Attacks in the future.

The Mermaid’s singing actually carries a Spiritual Attack, it looks like we need to have you listen to the Mermaid Princess’ singing more often.”

“Don’t underestimate the song of the mermaid; some songs, like those from the Mermaid Princess, are quite oppressive and dark. You might even have thoughts of suicide after listening to them.”

Seeing the Dragon Cub crying from the song, Lance closed the book in his hands.

He had a rough plan for the Dragon Cub’s growth.

First, evolve the Dragon Cub into a Pureblood Amethyst Young Dragon before it reaches adulthood.

Second, fully master Dragon Language.

Third, enhance the strength of the Dragon Cub’s body, that is, Body Refining. Increase its power and teach it several self-defense techniques.

Fourth, cultural lessons, manual skills.

He had also noticed the Spiritual Attacks and had the Dragon Cub listen to his roar as a way to build resistance to them.

For intimidating Spiritual Attacks, the Dragon Cub already had a certain level of resistance.

But for a variant Spiritual Attack, like the emotional ones from the Mermaid Princess, the underage Dragon Cub had no resistance at all.

It seemed he would have to let the Dragon Cub listen more to the Mermaid Princess’s song.

In the past, to conquer him, the Mermaid Princess had thought hard about how to increase the charm of her singing. He, wishing to hear a variety of songs, would occasionally provide her with some inspiration.

For instance, he would tell her some stories of sadness and despair, and at other times, some majestic war epics.

Happy, sad, understated, resentful… he recounted all sorts of stories for her.

And the Mermaid Princess did not disappoint; every so often, she would come up with a new song and smile as she sang it to him.

Initially, the Mermaid Princess tried to be coy, concealing her intention to conquer him with her song. But as time went on and they spent more time together, she stopped pretending and openly expressed her desire to win him over with her voice.

It’s no exaggeration to say that by the time the Mermaid Princess left, her singing could threaten even an ordinary Pureblood Giant Dragon.

When she first arrived, the Mermaid Princess’s songs were just slightly more pleasant than those of an ordinary mermaid.

At that time, she referred to him as “Evil Dragon” at every turn.

When she left, she called him “Teacher” and asked if she would ever see him again in her lifetime.

See him for what?

Did she still want to fall in love with him?

He wasn’t even of age yet.

“Ah? Spiritual Attack? Lance… aren’t you thinking too much? Could it be the Mermaid Princess’s song that moved me, let me resonate with the emotions in her song, and that’s why I cried? Rather than having suffered some Spiritual Attack…”

The Young Dragon thought Lance’s words were far-fetched; she acknowledged that some songs could indeed mesmerize humans and make them lose their rationality.

But this time… she felt her tears were purely due to the rich emotions in the Mermaid Princess’s song.

“Let’s do this, I have many more of the Mermaid Princess’s songs here. Starting tomorrow, you’ll wear the special Music Shell I’ve made, and listen to the Mermaid Princess’s songs whenever you can, even during your training.

When you are no longer affected by the emotions contained in the Mermaid Princess’s songs, then this training can come to an end.

Just a reminder, some of the Mermaid Princess’s songs can indeed induce suicidal thoughts, so be careful.”

The Spiritual Attacks embedded in the Mermaid Princess’s song were strong enough already. When the Dragon Cub was no longer affected by her songs, she would not experience emotional fluctuations when facing similar attacks in the future.

“Oh.”

Listening to songs was okay.

The song of the Mermaid Princess, even the kings, princesses, and princes of the Human World might not be able to hear.

As for suicide…

She felt she wouldn’t take her own life, even Er Gouzi biting her a few times made her scream in pain; suicide or anything like that… she simply didn’t have the courage.

Besides, she was still so young she had never fallen in love, hadn’t yet pulled Asina down from her throne, and hadn’t become the Emperor of Phalan Empire, so she was even less likely to think about suicide.

Compared to suicide, she was more curious about whether the Mermaid Princess had legs. In the legends, mermaids were half human and half fish and would die once ashore.

They could only live in the sea.

“Lance, does the Mermaid Princess have legs? If she has no legs, how did she walk when you took her away?”

“When she came, she deceived me by claiming she had no legs. I kept her in a little fish tank, fed her regularly, and occasionally had to change the water and clean the tank. Then one night, I opened my eyes and saw her sneakily climbing out of the tank, her tail transforming into legs, attempting to escape…

Having caught her and thrown her back in the tank, she wanted to avoid punishment and offered to sing for me…

The Mermaid Princess’s fish tail can turn into legs and back into a tail, hmm… don’t romanticize the Mermaid Princess too much; she smells fishy.”

“…”

Crack!

The image of the beautiful mermaid shattered in the Young Dragon’s heart.

She could never have imagined that the Evil Dragon would end up saying, “The Mermaid Princess smells fishy”… She had never heard anyone mention a fishy smell related to mermaids in the stories.
