Chapter 327: Chapter 327

The Water Monster was enraged. "What’s so funny?!"

"Nothing, nothing." Si Yan’s effort to hold back her laughter only angered the Water Monster further. "Fine, I’ll tell you now."

The Water Monster looked at her disdainfully, not believing she could actually guess correctly.

Si Yan said meaningfully, "Your deal with the Black Priest was about body odor."

The Water Monster was startled, its eyes widening!

Si Yan continued, "Back when you were still a mermaid Beastman, Xiangxiang rejected you because of your fishy smell. You trained to become a Golden Crystal Beastman not just to become stronger, but also hoping that strength would allow you to reinvent yourself—or at least get rid of the fishy smell. But it didn’t work.

"You tried everything, but Xiangxiang still couldn’t accept your fishy smell. You couldn’t bear to see her accepting one Beast Husband after another while rejecting you. So, in the end, you ate her.

"At that time, after you consumed her and suffered the lightning punishment, you turned into a Water Monster.

"You thought that once you became a Water Monster, the body odor would disappear. But to your surprise, not only did the smell not vanish, it got even worse!

"Your Xiangxiang is now one with you. With such a strong body odor, how could she bear it inside you?

"So, when that Black Priest told you there was a way to remove the smell from your body, you agreed to his deal without a second thought!"

The expression on the Water Monster’s face instantly became ferocious.

She guessed everything! She guessed it all, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes!

The Water Monster was both angry and somewhat indescribably embarrassed. The water making up its body turned a yellowish-brown color!

"So what if it’s true?!"

Tai Seng, A’ye, and Sibai were all shocked.

The Water Monster lamented, "I don’t look bad, I’m strong, and I’d definitely treat her better than her other Beast Husbands. But why? Why couldn’t she stand me just because of my fishy smell?!"

Suddenly, Si Yan remembered something she had read in a past life: between partners, if one truly likes the other’s body scent, it means their genes have chosen each other.

And clearly, Xiangxiang’s genes rejected this yandere Water Monster.

The Water Monster roared, "All merfolk have this scent; it’s not something I can control!

"Every time I washed myself thoroughly before meeting her, I had no smell, but she still pinched her nose, unwilling to get close to me.

"I truly loved Xiangxiang. I would do anything and try everything for her. What would a female like you understand?!"

The Water Monster became more and more aggrieved and actually started crying. Since he was made of water, his tears gushed like water columns.

Suddenly, Old Gecko said, "Si Yan, I know how to remove the fishy smell from its body."

Si Yan immediately replied, "Please enlighten me, Grandpa Gecko!"

The corner of Old Gecko’s mouth twitched. It’s always ’Grandpa Gecko’ when she needs something, and just ’Old Gecko’ when she doesn’t.

He had gotten used to it. He said, "Aren’t many of the plants in your space Spirit Plants now? Spirit Plants can cleanse impurities from the body. If he eats Spirit Fruit and Spirit Plants every day, he can stay clean and free from body odor."

Si Yan’s eyes lit up.

Oh, isn’t this a fortunate coincidence?

Si Yan said earnestly, "Actually, if you eat Spirit Fruit every day, you can eliminate body odors. As for that Black Priest—you knew he was a Black Priest, yet you still trusted him?"

The Water Monster said angrily, "Of course, I know Spirit Fruit can cleanse impurities, but where can I find so many of them?!"

Si Yan smiled. "Looks like you’ve tried."

It certainly had. Spirit Fruit did work, but the Spirit Fruit in this world was hoarded by the Beastmen, so there wasn’t much it could obtain.

The Water Monster glared at her ferociously. "As long as you die, I’ll have a chance."

Si Yan said, "So, even if the other party is an untrustworthy Black Priest, you still wanted to believe him just once, right? Because you had no other choice."

"But, I do have a way."

Si Yan smiled, a white radish suddenly appearing in her hand.

The Water Monster was stunned.

Even Sibai was stunned. We’re in the middle of a fight, what are you doing bringing out a white radish?

Si Yan picked up the white radish and took a deep sniff. "Mmm, truly fragrant."

Sibai and the Water Monster were speechless.

Si Yan continued, "Such delicious Spirit Fruit! Oh, they’re everywhere! What a shame!

"These delectable Spirit Fruit... if one were to eat one each day to maintain a clean and refreshing body, how joyful that would be!

"The Black Priest’s words are so unreliable. But I have lots and lots and lots of Spirit Fruit right here."

As she spoke, another white radish appeared in Si Yan’s other hand.

The Water Monster’s eyes practically bulged. "Are those really Spirit Fruit? Do you truly have that many? I don’t believe it! Give me one!"

Si Yan, as if performing a magic trick, clapped her hands, and the Spirit Fruit vanished.

"I’m sorry, but you’re not one of my people yet, so I won’t give you any," Si Yan said with a smile.

The Water Monster’s expression changed instantly. "Are you toying with me?! I’ll make you pay the price!!"

Si Yan laughed. "Try me!" For origınal chapters go to N0velFire.ɴet

With that, Si Yan suddenly squatted and threw an inconspicuous piece of wood directly at the Water Monster!

Feeling a connection, Tai Seng thrust his two fluffy, stout paws forward!

Two wild torrents of Special Abilities surged toward the Water Monster. It kept retreating, a dreadful feeling welling up in its heart.

Tai Seng’s Ice-based Special Ability instantly froze the water. Meanwhile, Si Yan, holding a small branch, stabbed it right into the Water Monster’s head.

In an instant, the branch took root, piercing through the entire Water Monster. It sprouted, frantically absorbing the Water Monster’s Spirit Power. It grew, absorbing madly, absorbing with abandon!

The Water Monster was momentarily slowed by the Ice-based Special Ability, and in that instant, the sturdy, giant trees from her Wood-based Ability frantically drained its Water-based energy!

Water nurtures Wood, yet Wood overcomes Water!

Si Yan’s Wood-based Ability was very powerful now. She casually tossed a few more pieces of wood. Upon touching the Water Monster, they rapidly grew!

Right on top of the Water Monster’s head, a cluster of wood drained its energy, intertwining as it grew, almost forming the structure of a World Tree!

"This is..." Sibai’s eyes widened in shock; he even forgot to attack Si Yan.

Could a borrowed Beast Husband’s Special Ability be this powerful?

Unless... unless this Special Ability was her own.

A female actually possessing a Special Ability? And such a powerful one at that?

That’s illogical! Utterly illogical!

Si Yan continued throwing wood relentlessly, as if she wanted to drain the Water Monster completely dry.

"You..." The Water Monster, frozen, moved sluggishly and spoke with difficulty. "You... female... how could... you be... so powerful...?"

The roots of Si Yan’s great trees pierced the Water Monster’s heart. It stared blankly at Si Yan, unable to move. It could only watch as countless trees ensnared it, their roots invading its body, drawing its sustenance!

And in that moment when the Water Monster’s main body suddenly faltered, the huge water monster avatar outside abruptly collapsed, turning into a puddle of water.

The Beastmen of Myriad Beasts City were stunned, searching the ground for the Water Monster.

"What happened? Where’s the Water Monster?"

"It just disappeared?"

Sibai squinted. "Dragon Princess, that was a bit cruel, wasn’t it?"

Si Yan turned to look at him. "Are you an idiot? It tried to kill me. I’m draining its power, and you call me cruel?"

Si Yan pointed to her own face. "Do you see the words ’Holy Mother’ written here?"
