Chapter 633: The Transformation of Siren and Rive

"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person."

Luo De said seriously.

Saying this, he reached out and touched the fish tail scales of Siren, colored the same as her hair.

The tail was exquisitely ornate, its dazzling pink hue brilliant under the sunlight.

The bony spines hidden beneath the fins and tail tip told you this creature was far from weak.

The pink scales, soaked in seawater, were unusually slippery, maintaining excellent moisture.

They struck a perfect balance between firmness and softness, with a very pleasant texture.

Similar to land naga.

Lillian, as a mage, lacked strong muscles; her tail was soft yet astonishingly elastic and flexible, even capable of wrapping her tail tip around Luo De to playfully restrain him.

Eve's tail muscles were firmer and stronger, with a solid feel, slightly less agile but more resilient, capable of assuming various postures.

Not to be defiled by filthy men.

Unaware that her own mother Lillian greatly enjoyed watching Luo De's adorable pretense of helplessness.

"Hehe, even if you're not casual, I still can't imagine who else is."

Dog-person Sharon slapped his hand away from Siren's tail, snapping coldly.

The witch Dimia showed a worried expression:

"Sirens are social creatures—they're likely followers of that giant Siren. There may be other infected ones in the nest. I advise against you going."

The Siren girl blinked, then flushed with anger.

She declared firmly: "I am not allied with that demon!"

Luo De's 【Trembling Soul Blade】 had a lie-detection spell, yet it gave no reaction.

This Siren was only around fifth-rank—a mere novice—hardly capable of fooling a lie-detection spell.

If she's not allied with it.

Perhaps she knows something about the origin of this giant deformed Siren?

He was about to speak.

The succubus in his arms let out a soft moan, awakened by Siren's cry.

She raised her head drowsily, saw Luo De so close, and let out a startled "Ah!" as her face turned bright red.

Heat rushed to her head, steam rising in wisps from her scalp.

Seeing her about to faint again, Luo De quickly let her go.

Under the sea breeze, Tally finally came to, shyly stealing glances at Luo De's face.

She already had innate domain resistance, and 【Stagnation Domain】 had proven immensely effective.

Thus, Luo De easily dispelled the residual domain energy.

"Siren sea monster?!"

Tally now noticed the pink Siren beside them.

She quickly warned: "Be careful, Master. This is a race exceptionally skilled in deception—even capable of fooling some lie-detection spells. Don't trust them!"

Hmm.

Alright.

"Skilled in deception? Like Krist's race?"

Luo De remembered Krist, the con artist peasant Yao from his home.

Tally shook her head: "Krist's deceitful habits are learned. Banshees are ultimately far more adept at heralding death. Sirens are different—they genuinely use deception to hunt and survive."

"Indeed."

The sea elf Lora had also woken up sometime earlier.

She lay atop Dimia's 【Arcane Hand】, pulling out a notebook, writing as she spoke.

"I recall a news story: a Siren grew legs, trailed a mage home after fishing, stripped naked, lied to drive his wife away, then pretended to comfort the fleeing wife—actually chasing her down to kill and eat her."

"Then she returned calmly to the mage's home, waited until he slept, and devoured him and his children."

Saying this,

she chuckled twice, her expression hopeful.

"Though their actions are vile, a race of girls who don't rely on men or patriarchy is wonderful, isn't it? Hehehe, someday I'll kick out my old foster father and start a newspaper run entirely by girls!"

"."

Luo De said nothing more.

But he decided to invest in Coral Bay Current Affairs, at least to establish some influence and prevent the paper from spreading wild rumors later.

Force was a last resort. The refined Luo De chose to change the future using Jin Along's methods.

Back to the matter at hand.

Prompted by the warning, Dimia and Sharon slapped five or six lie-detection spells directly onto her face.

Luo De also tested his new skill: 【Pack Hunting】.

That is, enlisting Dimia and Sharon as 【Liaisons】, triggering the 【Wild Synergy】 spell enhancement.

The overpowering magic glow of the lie-detection spells bathed the pink-haired Siren's face.

It froze her features, turning them slightly pale.

She swallowed hard in silence.

Sharon and Dimia were astonished by Luo De's ability.

What followed went smoothly.

The questions were answered easily, mostly concerning the giant Siren's origins.

The pink-haired Siren named Rive was not a subordinate of the giant Siren.

Rather, her people were oppressed by the giant Siren's followers.

According to her,

since three months ago—the same time the Magic Web Veil appeared—

Sirens had begun inexplicably changing: limbs fusing with other sea creatures, growing larger.

At first, the Sirens feared it, believing it a dire omen.

But they soon realized the transformed Sirens didn't attack their own kind; instead, they showed particular interest in ships on the surface.

Most importantly, they didn't eat people—they sang and left.

No one stole their food!

Their powerful magical songs drove humans aboard ships mad; the accompanying Sirens then feasted, plundering resources.

As a result,

within a short time, groups with the giant Siren grew rapidly strong, while those without this "miracle" declined and were oppressed.

Rive's group belonged to the latter.

They called the monster a demon.

But in truth,

as the chosen warrior of her tribe,

Rive had set out alone to find a way to transform herself into a demon—to save her people.

After confirming her words held no lie,

Luo De couldn't help smiling.

He held deep respect for such courageous and determined action, even if it wasn't particularly rational.

Seeing his smile, Rive immediately burst into tearful pleading:

"Sir, that demon disrupts the ocean's balance and brings ruin to all life. I beg you, let me guide you to kill every demon in Monster Bay and restore peace to this world… If you're willing, Rive also wishes to spend the night with you~~"

Saying this,

her cheeks flushed, and she shyly covered her face.

Instantly, the lie-detection spells flared crimson.

Rive froze.

Sharon glanced over: "The first part's barely true—they don't have the thing themselves, so wanting to kill others makes sense. The rest? Pure lie. Don't believe a single word."
