A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 314 Second Personality
Shen Li called out several times at the door, but there was no response from inside.

He frowned, his handsome brows furrowed, and hesitated whether to go in and disturb them. Sensing something, his expression changed drastically, and he burst through the door.

"Sweet blood, so alluring..."

The brown-haired youth knelt on the bed, burying his face in the female's neck, uttering a frenzied, obsessive murmur.

His thin lips revealed sharp, merman-like teeth, and he bit into her delicate flesh, drawing blood which was then wiped away.

Shen Tang, however, seemed to be in a coma, letting him do whatever he wanted.

Shen Li was filled with horror. She rushed forward and said coldly, "Let her go!"

Hearing the noise, the brown-haired man stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the uninvited guest.

His azure peach blossom eyes turned into a strange purplish-red, radiating a dangerous and cold hue, like the deep sea abyss that has buried millions of lives.

Shen Li's body stiffened slightly, a chill ran through him, and his eyes were filled with shock.

A name suddenly popped into my mind...

Cursed Mermaid!

Shen Li had once seen it by chance in some lost ancient books, but only a few words were mentioned, and he did not know if it was true or not.

Legend has it that there is a race of mermaids who are cursed by the deep sea. Their lifespans are extremely short, and as they age, the power of the curse within them grows stronger until it completely goes out of control!

The day he dies is when his body can no longer serve as a vessel.

Mermaids in an out-of-control state lose their minds and become puppets of power, becoming extremely insane, cruel, and bloodthirsty, just like Jialan is now!
But Shen Li never expected it to be Jia Lan.

The legendary cursed mermaid, a ticking time bomb, lurks right beside them, accompanying them day and night—just thinking about it sends chills down your spine!

"I'm taking this female with me. Anyone who tries to stop me will die!" Jia Lan narrowed her eyes, her cold and playful gaze piercing Shen Li, her voice extremely dangerous.

Shen Li sneered, "You think you can take Xiao Tang away? You're not capable enough!"

With a stomp of his foot, his rampant fiery power coalesced into a barrier, enveloping him on all sides like a cage.

Foxfire transformed into chains in the air, binding Jialan's body.

Jia Lan curled his lips into a disdainful sneer. With a casual wave of his hand, the chains formed from flames were torn to shreds before they could even touch him!

Immediately afterwards, storm frost and snow gathered in the air, transforming into thousands of ice blades that pierced through the air and stabbed towards Shen Li.

Ordinary orcs would not even have a chance to fight back under such an attack, and would be riddled with holes in an instant!
Shen Li's expression was cold and stern. It really was the power of the curse; Jia Lan was even stronger than usual! Her strength had reached the ninth rank!

He was forced back several steps, and raised his hand to grab in the air. Flames condensed into a wall of fire like blooming lotus flowers, blocking the ice blades and melting them inch by inch.

"Heh, you do have some skill, but you're just an ordinary red fox. You think you can stop me? What a pipe dream!" Jia Lan scoffed, her face showing impatience, too lazy to bother with any further discussion.

He shattered the supernatural barrier with a single palm strike!
Fire rained down from the sky.

An ice sword materialized in his palm, radiating a chilling light, and shot through the air.

But just as the ice blade was less than half a meter away from Shen Li, it seemed to be blocked by some invisible barrier. The nine tails behind him appeared in mid-air, closed in front of him, and burst into bloom.

The powerful energy surge caused the entire house to shake violently, shattering large items and leaving a mess on the ground.

Jialan looked at Shen Li in shock. In just one night, his aura had become unfathomable, and there was also the nine-tailed fox that appeared out of nowhere! This revealed his true identity!

Why would a nine-tailed fire fox from the border of Yiyuan Kingdom come here?

The fiery red nine tails billowed like clouds, Shen Li's fox eyes were captivating and alluring, the crimson mark on his forehead was like fire, and every step he took brought forth a lotus flower. He was bewitchingly beautiful, like a king who looked down upon the world!
He spoke slowly, his voice filled with chilling killing intent, "Hand them over to me!"

Jialan's face was cold and stern, but she refused to hand the person over to him. Holding the female in her arms, she went to the window and tried to escape.

The next second, the fox tail, flowing like clouds, condensed into streaks of crimson-gold fox fire, which shot away and sealed the doors and windows.

Shen Li bit her fingertip, drawing blood that mixed with foxfire, leaving an obscure mark in the air.

It was injected into Jialan's body. He suddenly lost his strength, staggered backward, and collapsed to the ground.

Shen Li rushed over, caught Shen Tang, and held her in his arms. He took out clothes from the wardrobe and draped them over her shoulders.

Meanwhile, the commotion also alerted the beastmen downstairs, who rushed over quickly.

Upon hearing footsteps outside the door, Shen Li instantly retracted the Nine-Tailed Fox.

When Xiao Jin and the others went upstairs, they were shocked to see the mess in the room and Jia Lan lying unconscious on the floor.

"What on earth happened?"

Shen Li frowned, her expression complicated. Unable to find a good excuse, she simply revealed the truth.

“…Jialan lost control just now and tried to hurt Xiaotang’er.”

"what?!"

Xiao Jin and the others had never heard of the merfolk's curse. Even if Shen Li told them, they probably wouldn't understand. Besides, it was a secret of the merfolk, and Shen Li couldn't guarantee that his understanding was accurate enough. He didn't want to mislead anyone.

He held the female on the bed and answered briefly, "I just found out that there seems to be a mysterious power in Jialan's body. This power is sealed in his body and will become more and more uncontrollable over time. He must have been stimulated by some kind of thing, which triggered this strange power... When I came in, he seemed to have become a different person and tried to forcibly take Xiaotang'er away, but I stopped him."

Upon hearing this, the beastmen present fell into an eerie silence, filled with shock and disbelief.

I never knew Jialan had such a secret!
Shen Li added, "Fortunately, his power isn't too strong yet, so he can still control it and is alright for now."

The beastmen's feelings were even more complicated. Even if they could suppress him for the time being, he was still a ticking time bomb and might hurt Shen Tang one day.

For a moment, they were all at a loss.

Fortunately, Shen Tang woke up soon.

She opened her eyes and found that all the beastmen were there. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was still dressed properly.

She asked, bewildered, "How did you all get in here?"

The beastmen looked at each other, unsure whether they should tell her about it.

Lu Xiao stepped forward first and reassured her, "It's getting late, and the female master hasn't woken up yet. We wanted to call you downstairs for dinner."

Shen Tang blushed with embarrassment as she recalled what happened last night.

Unexpectedly, after this innocent and shy mermaid broke her cravings, she became even more adept at making pancakes, and the worst part is that she's the one being pancakeed! It's simply irresistible!

She shook her head, trying to shake off the memory. Just as she was about to get up, she gasped as a sharp pain shot through her neck.

She raised her hand and touched it; it was wet and sticky. Only then did she realize that she had been bitten several times and was bleeding.

Shen Tang didn't dare to look at the beastmen's gazes and quickly and secretly used her healing ability to recover.

At the same time, she blushed and felt embarrassed. Was the argument last night really that bad?

Why is it still bleeding?
Just then, an emergency notification sounded in his mind: [Host! Something terrible has happened! I've just been mind-controlled and have been stuck in a five-minute-long system crash!]

Shen Tang's heart tightened. "Has someone discovered you?"

[No, that's not it. But my soul is bound to the host's. If someone attacks the host's soul, I also crash.]

"who is it?"

[Jialan in his out-of-control state can also be described as his other personality.]

　I got home too late today and can't stay up any longer, so I won't be posting any more updates.

　　See you tomorrow, everyone!
