Chapter 633: The Siren's Change and Reef

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

Rod said in a serious tone.

Saying so, he reached out and touched the fish-tail scales of the siren, which were the same color as her hair.

The fish tail was exquisite and luxurious, its dazzling bright pink color extremely eye-catching under the sunlight.

Yet the bone spurs hidden at the ends of the fins and tail told you this creature was hardly a frail species.

The bright pink scales were unusually slippery when soaked by seawater, maintaining excellent moisture.

Striking a fine balance between firm and soft, the feel was quite pleasant.

Similar to her were the land-dwelling naga.

Lillian, being a mage, did not have very strong muscles; beyond being soft, her elasticity and flexibility were astonishing, and she could even use the tip of her tail to lock Rod down just to play around.

Eve's tail was more solidly muscled and powerful, with a firm feel; her flexibility was slightly lacking, but her pliability was greater, able to assume all manner of postures.

She did not permit the smelly man's desecration.

Little did she know that her own mother Lillian was quite fond of it, watching Rod pretend he couldn't handle it in his adorable way.

"Heh, if you're not casual, I really can't think of who would be."

The dog-person Sharon slapped away his hand that was stroking the siren, coldly retorting.

The witch Dimia showed a worried expression:

"Sirens have a habit of living in groups; they might be members attached to that giant siren's side, and there might be similarly infected ones in the nest. I also don't recommend you go, Rod."

That Young Lady siren was momentarily stunned, then revealed an angry expression.

She said resolutely: "I could never be in the same group as that evil creature!"

The 【Tremor Soul Blade】 at Rod's waist had a lie-detecting spell, which showed no reaction at this moment.

This siren was only around fifth-tier, a rookie, so presumably not enough to fool the lie-detecting spell.

If they weren't in the same group.

Perhaps she could know something about the origins of this giant, deformed siren?

Just as he was about to speak.

The succubus in his arms let out a small moan, woken by the siren's shout.

She raised her head in a daze, and upon seeing Rod right before her eyes, let out an "Ah!" as her face flushed crimson.

The heat rose to her head, wisps of steam rising from the top.

Seeing she was about to faint again, Rod quickly let her go.

Under the sea breeze, Tally finally came back to her senses, shyly and timidly sneaking peeks at Rod's face.

She already had domain resistance on her body, and 【Stagnation Domain】 directly Li Le Da Gong.

Therefore, Rod eliminated the residual domain power without much effort.

"A siren sea demon?!"

Tally also noticed the pink siren beside them.

She quickly warned: "Please be careful, Master Mr., this is a race extremely skilled at deception, they can even fool some lie-detection spells, please don't trust them too much!"

Hmm.

Alright.

"Skilled at deception? Like Chris's race?"

Rod thought of the country banshee Chris at home, whose family business was swindling.

Tally shook her head: "Miss Chris's habit of swindling was formed after birth; when it comes down to it, banshees are more skilled in the aspect of heralding death. But sirens are different—they are a race that genuinely uses deception to hunt and survive."

"Indeed."

The sea elf Laura had also woken up at some unknown point.

She lay on Dimia's 【Spell Hand】, took out a notebook, and spoke while writing.

"I remember there was a piece of news about a siren who grew legs, followed a mage who had finished fishing and was heading home, and stark naked used lies to drive away the mage's wife. She then pretended to tell the fishing mage she was going to comfort his wife who had been driven off in anger, but in reality she caught up, killed her, and ate her.

Afterwards, she nonchalantly returned to the fishing mage's home, and while he slept, devoured the mage and his child in one go."

Saying so.

She even laughed twice, showing an expectant look.

"Although their deeds are despicable, this kind of girl race that doesn't rely on men and patriarchy is just beautiful, isn't it? Hehehe, just watch—I'll kick that old adoptive father out of the company later and establish a newspaper with only girls!"

"."

Rod didn't say much more.

But he decided to buy into Coral Bay Current Affairs, this newspaper, at least to establish some influence, so this newspaper wouldn't speak recklessly in the future.

Military coercion was the last resort; as a dignified person, Rod decided to use Jin Along's method to change the situation that might arise in the future.

Back to the main topic.

Having received the warning, Dimia and Sharon slapped four or five lie-detection spells right onto her face.

Rod also took the opportunity to test his new skill 【Pack Hunting】.

That is, taking Dimia and Sharon as 【Subordinates】, triggering the enhancement effect of the 【Wild Synergy】 spell.

The overly powerful lie-detection spell's magical light shone on this pink-haired siren's face.

It made her face stiffen and turn slightly pale.

She silently swallowed some saliva.

Sharon and Dimia were quite amazed that Rod had such means.

What followed went very smoothly.

The questions were also smoothly completed, mainly concerning the origins of the giant siren.

The pink-haired siren named Reef was not a subordinate of the giant siren.

Rather, her kind were a tribe oppressed by the giant siren's subordinates.

According to her.

Starting three months ago — that is, around the time the Magic Web canopy appeared.

One after another, sirens began to change for no reason, their limbs fusing with other sea creatures and growing larger.

At first the sirens were afraid, always thinking it must be some kind of evil omen.

But then they discovered that the sirens who had become monsters did not attack their own kind, and instead had a particular fondness for ships on the surface.

Most importantly, she didn't eat people — once she finished singing, she left.

Nobody was stealing food!

The powerful magic of her singing drove the humans on the ships mad, and the accompanying sirens would take their share, feast to their hearts' content, and plunder resources.

And so.

In a very short time, the tribes that possessed giant sirens grew strong rapidly, while the tribes without this "miracle" grew ever weaker and were oppressed.

And the tribe of the pink-haired siren Reef belonged to the latter.

They called that monster a demon in their mouths.

But in reality.

As the warrior chosen by her tribe.

Reef had set out alone on this journey for the sake of finding a way to turn herself into a demon, so as to save her tribe.

After confirming that what she had said contained no lies.

Rod could not help but smile.

He did have a fair amount of respect for this kind of courageous and resolute action, though it wasn't exactly the most rational thing in the world.

Seeing him smile, Reef immediately let out a tearful wail:

"Mr., that demon has destroyed the balance of the ocean and brought ruin to all living things. I am willing to lead the way for you and slay every demon in the Monste Sea — to return a clear and bright world to this age. If you are willing, Mr., Reef would also like to spend the night with you~~"

As she spoke.

Her cheeks flushed red, and she shyly covered her face.

Then the lie-detection spell pressed against her face immediately flared red.

Reef's body went rigid.

Sharon glanced over: "The first half is barely true — after all, her own tribe doesn't have that thing, so wanting to kill the others is normal. The second part is pure fiction; don't believe a single word of it."
