Chapter 126 Cupid with Long Horns? [25]

The movie ended, and the credits rolled.

Govia picked up the remote, turned off the TV, and lay down on the sofa, staring at the ceiling.

She felt extremely bored.

Mo Yu went into seclusion to study cultivation techniques. He went to his room in the rest area and locked the hiding place to prevent them from leaving.

Herobella is a homebody. After discovering that there were many books in the study, she spent all her time there and didn't come out.

The rabbit girl felt a little regretful.

She should have revealed her identity from the beginning; now she's in a dilemma.

Stay steady.

We need to stay calm.

Once that damn pervert finishes the challenge and gets his reward, I'll reveal my identity and steal his hideout and all the good stuff he got!

Govia rolled over and lay face down on the sofa, her rabbit ears drooping limply.

"Ahhh! No, I need to find something to do."

She sat up and searched the hiding place again, but this time, she used her mental power to pry open the lock on Mo Yu's room and search inside.

When she opened the bedside table, she found a small black box. Upon opening it, she found a blue heart-shaped pendant inside.

"Huh?! This is... the Heart of Cupid?! How did this get here?"

Govia was surprised. She was an expert on strange objects, having read countless documents and books and knowing most strange objects inside and out.

She recognized what this unique heart-shaped pendant was at a glance.

This thing is called the Heart of Cupid, but its effects are far from benevolent, even somewhat despicable. Herobella prefers to call it the Heart of the Minotaur, because its very origin is that of a minotaur.

After wearing it for more than 24 hours, it will become bound to the person wearing it.

When the wearer develops feelings of love for someone, this item will charge up and collect the wearer's love. When the heart turns from blue to pink, it means the collection is complete.

At this point, the love within can be taken out and given to others. The love of the bound user will transfer with the user and then steadfastly fall in love with the unit that uses the love.

The creation of this thing is the story of a mistress in a palace intrigue.

Before the affection is removed, the stored value will be reset to zero as long as the unit is re-bound. It can be reused. After accumulating enough affection, it can be transferred to another target. The effect will be removed after the person to whom the affection is bound uses it.

A very vicious and strange object.

The Minotaur's artifact.

However, the conditions for its use are also very demanding.

Govia observed carefully and noticed a small pink dot in the center of the blue heart, indicating that it was bound to her.

Recalling Mo Yu's actions and confirming his logic, Govia became indignant: "Despicable! So despicable! That vile human lecher! Utterly shameless!"

After spending these past few days with Herobella, she still really liked the little mermaid. Discovering Mo Yu's 'scheme' made her very angry, but she quickly calmed down.

Look at this pendant.

Nothing changes.

This proves that this despicable and shameless conspiracy has failed.

Herobella wasn't tempted at all.

"How could a mere human possibly attract the love of a mermaid? That's just wishful thinking."

Govia felt a sense of schadenfreude, and her previously agitated heart calmed down.

She put the pendant back, returned it to its original place, and left the room. She waited to see Mo Yu's furious expression one last time, and after revealing her identity, she would expose him and give him a good beating.

……

Outside the game tower.

A magnificent carriage entered the trench, and the sea creature soldiers and mermaids all stopped, bowed, and remained obedient, allowing the carriage to pass unimpeded. The royal insignia on the front of the carriage was the North Sea Empire's greatest pass.

The carriage drove into the vicinity of the game tower and stopped in front of a magnificent underwater building.

Countless mermaids gathered in front of the carriage, forming a neat square formation. The deep sound of conch shells rang out, the carriage door slowly opened, and the eldest prince swam out of the carriage, floating high above to receive the worship of the sea creatures.

The officer in charge stepped forward, saluted, and reported on the situation at the game tower. "Has anything unusual happened recently?"

When the Crown Prince asked the question, the merman commanders looked at each other, their inner turmoil visibly palpable.

The eldest prince frowned and snapped, "Speak!"

The merman commander hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please come with us."

A moment later, the group arrived at a cell where a crab-man was imprisoned. He sat on the ground with a silly look on his face, sometimes laughing foolishly and sometimes screaming in terror.

The mermaid commander explained the whole story.

“Your Highness, it was one of the guards on duty that night. Old Jia and another person have gone missing.”

"The army doctor said that it saw something terrifying and went crazy. From its few words, it seems that Lao Jia suddenly appeared, but it had turned into a monster with twenty legs. Its neck stretched out ten meters at once, bit another person, and dragged him back to the toilet."

“These past two days, some people have been feeling uneasy. Every night there are strange noises coming from that toilet, but when we send people to investigate, we can’t find anything wrong.”

The eldest prince took a deep breath and said, "Seal off that area, send people to keep an eye on it, and after this tower climbing challenge is over, demolish and rebuild this area."

This matter was too bizarre, but the Crown Prince dared not be careless. Strange things would happen around the game tower every now and then, and no one could explain why. The only thing to do was to ignore it.

After dealing with this minor matter, he went to the command center, obtained the intelligence he had gathered over the past few days, rested for a day, and then officially entered the game tower to begin climbing it.

……

Mo Yu returned to his hideout and placed the food and water he had gathered in the basement. There were dedicated storage rooms and cold storage facilities here, which were material storage rooms created by the hideout according to his needs.

The 20-square-meter room was filled with various stored foods and water, and next to it was a 15-square-meter cold storage room with a lot of frozen meat hanging inside.

He took all of these from the rest area.

With the supplies they had previously stored, plus the daily refresh of their hideout, the three of them could easily feed themselves for three months.

Come up from the basement.

I met Govia at the corner.

Rabbit Girl has gotten used to living here. She is wearing loose pajamas and slippers, her hair is casually draped over her shoulders, and she is holding snacks in her hand.

"Weiwei, what have you been doing these past few days?"

"Playing games."

Govia answered, staring at Mo Yu with the look one would give a clown, as if she were trying not to laugh.

Mo Yu: "?"

Why does this bunny girl's gaze seem a bit strange?

He ignored the smirking Govia and went to the study to find Herobella.

The Little Mermaid spends most of her time reading books, and the rest of her time watching movies or playing video games.

After Mo Yu came in, she put down her book and greeted him.

Mo Yu said, "The Crown Prince has appeared. I'm going to participate in the next game. You all stay in the hiding place and don't go out."

“I can follow from a distance, and if you fail and encounter danger, I will come to your rescue,” Herobella replied.

She wouldn't help, but she also wouldn't stand by and watch Mo Yu get into danger.

“No, you stay in the hideout. If I can’t win and encounter danger, Alpha will let you out,” Mo Yu replied. It would be more convenient for him to act alone.

"Ok."

Herobella nodded, a hint of worry in her expression.

Goviya: Watching the show.jpg

After explaining everything, Mo Yu prepared to leave.

He was stopped by Govia just as he reached the door.

"Wait a minute, this is for you."

Govia stepped forward, extending her hand; a ring lay in her palm. Made of sterling silver, it bore numerous inscriptions and symbols, clearly no ordinary object.
