Chapter 49: Mysterious Accessory

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When they returned to the territory,

Most of the residents had already finished their day’s work and entered the realm of dreams.

Snores filled the air.

Stretching lazily, Ji Chen intended to call for Willis when he noticed Alice sitting on the steps in front of the door. Her eyes were closed, and her little head drooped.

Could it be that Alice was waiting for him?

Perhaps upon hearing his footsteps, the little Siren slowly opened her eyes. When she saw him, her eyes sparkled like gemstones, instantly brightening up.

She got up and rushed over, hanging onto his body.

“My lord, you’re finally back!”

“Yes.” Ji Chen held her body and said gently, “Why didn’t you sleep in the room? It’s very cold outside.”

The temperature difference on the island was significant. It could be scorching hot during the day, causing people to suffer from heatstroke, but at night, it turned bone-chilling, making one shiver with goosebumps.

Alice smiled sweetly, her eyebrows curved like the moon in the sky, looking very beautiful.

“I thought you hadn’t returned yet, so I wanted to wait here. I’ve been waiting all this time,” Alice said with a smile.

Ji Chen didn’t say anything but lovingly stroked her little head.

Although they had only spent a little over ten days together, Alice had become more than just a hero to him. He had already started to regard her as a sister-like figure, carrying deeper emotions. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Seeing that Ji Chen remained silent, Alice also fell quiet. She closed her eyes and rested her head on his shoulder, feeling his warmth.

Both of them remained speechless, savoring this serene moment.

Suddenly,

A voice rang out, breaking the silence of the night.

“My lord, you’ve returned… Perhaps I came at the wrong time.”

The person who came was Wilus. He had just finished dealing with the matters at hand and was about to sleep.

Hearing the commotion outside, he came out to see what was happening and witnessed such a scene.

He felt a bit embarrassed and unsure of what to do, afraid that Ji Chen would be angry.

Ji Chen smiled and shook his head, releasing Alice from his hold, and said to her,

“You came at the right time. You should have someone take care of these hunted animals quickly, or they wall spoil by tonight.”

Upon seeing the pile of prey stacked to the side, Wu Liang promptly responded.

He returned to the residential area and called over twenty young and strong residents.

Although they were a bit displeased and confused at being forcibly awakened when they saw the accumulated prey, their spirits immediately lifted.

They enthusiastically began the processing work.

With that taken care of, Ji Chen had nothing else to do. He returned to the Lord’s Mansion with a sleepy Alice.

Due to exhaustion from the day’s labor, he quickly fell into slumber.

In his dreams,

Alice smiled gracefully, wearing only a sheer veil.

Towering breasts, snow-white skin, and alluring buttocks.

And he was almost naked.

The two of them chased each other in the water, their happy laughter echoing in their ears.

This scene instantly woke him up.

Looking up, the bright sunlight shone through the window, and the sound of the residents working could be heard.

He looked left and right.

Alice was no longer here. She probably went out to play again.

Ji Chen slowly sat up straight and fell into deep thought.

He could understand a dream without clothes.

A hot-blooded man would sometimes have such colorful dreams.

That was not a problem.

However, the problem was…

“Why is there a young girl chasing after us?”

This was too strange.

He was puzzled.

He shook his head and threw these strange thoughts out of his mind.

He stood up and walked out of the lord’s manor.

He did not plan to go out to hunt or explore this morning.

This morning, he had no plans to venture out in search of game or explore new’ territories.

After more than ten consecutive days of non-stop battles, his nerves were already tightly wound, reaching a breaking point.

Both mentally and physically, he felt the weight of fatigue.

So, he made a decision to take a half-day break for himself.

He decided to go fishing.

It had been quite some time since his last fishing excursion, and the fishing rods in his backpack were on the verge of gathering dust!

He didn’t bring a large entourage, only about ten Murlocs to serve as his guards.

Ji Chen held his fishing rod and prepared some bait as he arrived at his usual spot.

Baiting the hook, he gathered his strength, and cast the line effortlessly.

With these tasks completed, he cleared his mind and gazed into the distance.

Today’s weather was splendid.

The sun shone brightly, and the sea was tranquil, without a ripple in sight.

The distant sky resembled an ice cream, with its deep blue base and fluffy white clouds.

A group of dolphins chased after schools of fish on the sea surface, leaping out of the water from time to time, showcasing their superb swimming skills.

The tides washed over the sandy beach, bringing forth waves of white foam.

The weather was excellent today, and the fishing luck was also quite good.

It didn’t take long after casting the line for a “fish” to bite.

It was a large squid weighing about three pounds!

Ever since he had tasted the meat of an octopus creature, Ji Chen had been longing for seafood like octopus and squid.

Finally, he had caught such a big one today, and he could finally enjoy a sumptuous meal.

Perhaps the squid heard the call of his heart.

One after another, like the story of the Little Warriors saving their grandfather, a whole school of squids continuously hooked onto the line, numbering dozens of them.

It brought a big smile to his face.

Soon, the basket was filled to the brim.

The joy of fishing is simple and monotonous.

Time flew’ by.

He glanced at the sky.

The sunlight grew more intense, and it even felt slightly stinging on his skin.

In this tranquil setting, Ji Chen’s mind suddenly shook, and he murmured with wide-open eyes.

“Just one more cast, and then wee’ll leave. Give it some extra strength for the final cast.”

He forcefully cast the line.

The fishing hook flew steadily onto the water’s surface several meters away, slowly sinking down.

He eagerly watched the float.

The last time, the final cast hooked a Siren.

Would this final cast also catch a mighty ocean hero?

Although the chances were slim, dreams are something that should never be without.

Suddenly, the float was pulled downwards.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen felt a wave of disappointment instead.

If the float had been pulled down so quickly after casting, it surely couldn’t be anything exciting.

“Ding! You have obtained a mysterious accessory.”

[Mysterious accessory]

[Level: Special (Single)]

[Effect: Increase stamina recovery speed by 50%]

[A certain creature’s beloved accessory seems to have more effects than this…]

Lying on his palm was something that looked like a sachet.

The material was very special. Even though it had just been fished out of the water, it still looked very dry.

The additional effect was also quite good. It increased the recovery speed of Stamina by 50%.

In addition to the 30% Stamina recovery speed bonus from Sea’s Blessing, it was a full 80% bonus effect.

If a physical combat hero were to wear it, he would become a never-ending killing machine.

However, there was only Alice, a magical hero, and Panther, who was only an Aspiring hero. For the time being, no one could use this.

Then he could only keep it for now.

With this thought in mind, Ji Chen equipped the accessory on himself.

With today’s harvest, he leisurely returned to the territory.

In the afternoon, he would continue hunting on the island.

Somewhere in the Middle Earth Ocean.

A figure suddenly jumped out of the water. Seawater dripped from her silver-gray hair and slowly flowed down his majestic chest.

She looked in a certain direction with a bewildered expression.

“Why did the aura of the accessory suddenly stop?”

“Could it have been taken by some creature? No, that’s my thing. I have to get it back!”

With that, the figure dived back into the sea.

If someone was below the surface of the water, they would see her moving forward at a speed that ordinary people could not reach.

Even the water flow helped her move.

Her strong and powerful body was like a whale shark in the sea..
