Swoosh.


    Under the blood-red moonlight, the salty and bloody sea breeze blew over. Waves crashed against the dark reefs, washing away the blood stains and spreading the strong bloody smell around.


    Behind the silver-haired manid arge pile of deformed skeletons. These bones were mostly old and broken but some of them also appeared very fresh and even still had remnants of bloody-red flesh and bloodstains. As it soaked in the sea water, the water around it turned a pale red.


    Met with this horribly grotesque scene and along with the smooth ck tentacles that made up the mans lower half, even if he smiled gently at him, Cheng Zhi Chu was still shocked. He couldnt help but involuntarily take a step back.


    Dont be scared Zhi Chu. Come here.


    Seeing him back away, the man smiled and wasnt angry. Several tentacles silently slipped over to grab onto Cheng Zhi Chus wrist. Others pushed him from behind, forcing him to move closer to the man.


    Cheng Zhi Chu was pulled along by the tentacles and he stumbled along. He suddenly tripped over a tentacle thatid on the reef. Using this opportunity, the man reached out to catch him and held him tightly in his embrace. Arge patch of cold and pale skin came into contact with Cheng Zhi Chu who couldnt help but shiver.


    The golden-haired young man leaned against the reef watching them. He suddenlyughed and said: Looks like brother can finally realise his wish.When do you n on holding the wedding?


    As he said that, the tentacles behind him swayed back and forth. It was as if he was swaying his tail. It stirred up the water around him and the corpses floating in the water rose and fell along with the waves. The scene itself was particrly horrifying.


    If possible, naturally the sooner the better. The man rubbed Cheng Zhi Chus cheeks and said with a hint of a smile, But I am willing to respect your opinion. Zhi Chu, if you cant adapt to it for the time being, I can give you some time to get used to it.


    Cheng Zhi Chu was stunned for a moment. He didnt know what wedding ceremony theyre referring to.


    Are they talking about the wedding between the two of them? But ording to the plot, he should he marrying the neighbouring countrys princess and not with a merman.That is, if this man can still be considered a merman..


    Noticing his confused expression, the man gently pinched his cheek. He smiled and asked: Why, have you forgotten about the promise you made to me?


    Cheng Zhi Chu heard those words and his heart jumped. Of course, he wouldnt know about the promises he made but he didnt dare ask as he was afraid that he would anger the merman.


    Fortunately, the young man exined to him as a matter of factly: Zhi Chu is human. He was still young at that time so he must have forgotten all about it.


    He said that and smiled, revealing a cute canine.


    Let me exin. At that time, you promised my brother that when youe of age, you will marry him. We would take you back to the sea and you will spend your entire lifetime with my brother.


    At that time my brother nted a seed in your mind that would make youe to the sea on the day that youe of age and we woulde to pick you up.


    The silver-haired man rubbed Cheng Zhi Chus wet hair and said: The wedding isnt urgent. We can discuss it slowly. We will take you back first.


    He said that and then he raised his hand. Using his sharp nail, he cut his wrist lightly. He then brought the bleeding wound over to Cheng Zhi Chus lips. He coaxed him: Here, drink some of my blood. After a while, you will be able to move and breathe freely in the water.


    Cheng Zhi Chu looked at the dark and deep sea. He didnt want to go into the deep sea with these brothers. Just thinking about it made him feel suffocated. He quickly asked the system in his mind:


    Is the merman brother a projection that I need to kiss?


    Yes, he is..]


    After receiving a positive response from the system, Cheng Zhi Chu no longer hesitated. Under the silver-haired mans surprised look, he supported the mans face and quickly moved in to kiss him on the lips.


    The man was stunned for a moment. The arms embracing Cheng Zhi Chu then tightened around him and he began to kiss him deeply. The tentacles on the ground became to move and, after a moment, it couldnt help but move over to explore Cheng Zhi Chus body. Over the thinyer of clothes, it wrapped tightly around his body.


    Cheng Zhi Chus kiss instantly ignited the mans strong desires and possessiveness. He was no longer able to control himself and he had sumbed to the instincts of a beast. While biting his lips, he used his tentacles to envelop Cheng Zhi Chus body.


    Wait a minute brother. Dont do it here..


    The young mans face was a little red. He quickly used his tentacles to tap his brothers shoulder and awaken him from his desires. He quickly exined: You clearly said that you wanted to give Zhi Chu the perfect experience. Isnt it inappropriate doing it here?


    ..Youre right.


    The man was silent for a few seconds. The tentacles that wrapped around Cheng Zhi Chu then slowly receded. The dark silver eyes of his recovered a little light as he released his hold of the red-faced Cheng Zhi Chu. He gently kissed his forehead and said hoarsely:


    Sorry Zhi Chu. I have waited too long and couldnt control myself. I hope you dont mind.


    Huff.Huff.


    Cheng Zhi Chu shook his head while gasping for air to indicate that he didnt mind. Exhausted, he leaned against the mans shoulder and waited for his ability to take effect.


    But after waiting for a while, he didnt see any signs of the man disappearing. He panicked and asked the system: Why isnt my ability working? Is it getting dyed?


    ..I havent finished speaking. You were in too much of a hurry.]


    The system coughed and said: He is a soul projection but, as I have already told you before, there isnt just one projection in this world. His brother is also another soul projection. You need to kiss the younger brother too.]


    Also, this instance has an aspect that is different to the other instances. After kissing, the projections will not disappear. The ability will only take effect after you kiss all the projections.]


    .Even the younger brother needs to be kissed?


    Cheng Zhi Chu heard this and subconsciously looked over at the golden-haired young man. The handsome young mans eyes were clear and bright. When their eyes met, he revealed a pure smile that resembled those of a puppy.


    The young man spoke very happily: After we go back, you can have your wedding and then Zhi Chu can give birth to brothers babyIm really looking forward to it. Our family hasnt had a new life for the past hundreds of years..


    .. Cheng Zhi Chu was originally mulling over how he should kiss the young man when he heard his words. He was instantly stunned and he couldnt help but ask with confusion: Give birth?


    Yes, give birth.


    The young man nodded seriously. Seeing that his brother didnt have the intention to stop him, he continued.


    Mermaids like us cannot get pregnant but we can breed with any race. Gender doesnt matter. So, brother can inject you with mermaid seeds and you can give birth. It wont be long until youy lots of cute mermaid eggs.


    His eyes curved as he smiled but at this moment this appearance of his in Cheng Zhi Chus eyes was even more terrifying than a devils.


    The man also hugged Cheng Zhi Chu from behind. With both hands on Cheng Zhi Chus lower abdomen, he smiled and said: Im also looking forward to it. Zhi Chu, our children will be the cutest and the loveliest. In the future they will also be the strongest.


    No! Go away!! Hes not a mother hen, hes a man! Why should hey eggs for a monster?! Even if this man is Bai Yis projection..That is still absolutely impossible!


    Cheng Zhi Chu was scared pale. He reached out and wanted to grab the young mans hand and quicklypletely the task but at this moment the older man suddenly pinched his jaw and forcefully fed Cheng Zhi Chu his blood.


    Be good. Sleep for a while. We will take you back.


    The bloody taste spread through his mouth. Cheng Zhi Chu was horrified to find that he felt a strong sense of drowsiness. He felt weaker and weaker until even his eyes couldnt be opened. Eventually he softly copsed into the mans arms and fell unconscious.


    ..


    Hey, wake up. Hurry and wake up!]


    The faint sound of the system could be heard in Cheng Zhi Chus mind. He slowly opened his eyes and reacted after a few seconds of dy. He suddenly remembered the situation hes in and sat up quickly while covered in cold sweat. He shouted out in horror: I dont want to give birth!!!


    ..give birth.irth.


    But what responded to him wasnt anyones voice but his own echoes. It continued to echo around in this empty space.


    Cheng Zhi Chu was surprised. He found himself in apletely different environment. The surroundings were very strange. He seemed to be inside an ice crystal cave. There were uneven edges and corners throughout which were all made of transparent crystals. It was very beautiful but also very strange.


    Where is this ce? Cheng Zhi Chu asked the system in panic: Did the mermen take me here?


    No, this isnt the mermaids pce. Only your consciousness drifted over into a strange ce. Your body is still with the mermen.]


    Did I get eaten by them?! Cheng Zhi Chu was shocked.


    No, you are currently in an unconscious state. You just have not awakened yet.]


    The system said: As I have said before, everything in this world is twisted. This includes time and space. Everything is chaotic and disorderly and strange things can happen any time.]


    Based on my analysis, your time wasnt disrupted, but your consciousness was transferred to another ce, which is this ce.]


    Then you should hurry and teleport me back. Cheng Zhi Chu continued to shed cold sweat. He was worried about the mermen doing something to his body..


    I dont think its necessary to teleport now. I believe you have activated the second story, so itll be better to explore it a little.] The system said, You should at least confirm how many projections there are before you go back, or you would havee here pointlessly.]


    Then Ill try.


    Cheng Zhi Chu mulled over it for a moment and then agreed with the systems words. In fact, it was mainly because he received too much of an impact from the shock of having toy mermaid eggs. Not yet recovering from it, he really had no desire to face those horrible brothers


    But where is this ce?


    He assessed the surroundings. Everything here was bright and sparkly, and filled with diamond-like crystals. The room was very spacious, but it was also very lifeless. It was so quiet, he could even hear himself breathing.


    Because he had the system apanying him, Cheng Zhi Chu wasnt afraid. He began to walk around and specte where this ce could be.


    He suspected that this was probably a location from Snow White and that this was the mine where the seven dwarves worked at. Perhaps he had be a dwarf.


    But there are seven dwarves in the story and there was no one around him. Could the story have changed and now only he is left to take care of Snow White?


    Cheng Zhi Chu guessed wildly when he suddenly heard a faint voice. He carefully walked over and saw that there was a small gap between a crystal in front of him. It was covered in transparent ss and the other side of the ss was an entirely different setting.


    St


    Arge amount of blood spattered across the ss. It came from the other side and didntnd on the crystals. What was even more strange was that the ss appeared to absorb the fresh blood and it once again became clean again.


    Cheng Zhi Chu didnt know what was going on. After hiding behind the crystal, he timidly looked out through the ss only to see that the other side of the ss was a magnificent pce. Scattered across the pce floors were many dried up corpses. Their dried faces had no hint of blood in them and they were practically bones wrapped in ayer of skin. They appeared to have died because all the blood inside them had been drained out.


    Magic mirror, magic mirror..


    Amongst the corpses, a beautiful young woman crawled over to the ss on her hands and knees. Her body was covered in blood stains and she had a despaired look on her face. She cried while reaching out to the ss.


    Magic mirror, please save us. Save our country. Kill Snow WhiteAhhhh


    A pale hand with long slender fingers grabbed the womans hair and lifted her up. It then fiercely grabbed her by the neck.


    Then a gorgeous young man wearing a ck knights outfit appeared before the ss. His hair was as dark as midnight and his skin was white as snow. His lips were bright red, as if it was stained with fresh blood. He looked extremely enchanting.


    He held the womans neck and his blood red eyes swept over her fearful face. He lifted his lips slightly to reveal a pair of sinister fangs. He gently chuckled.


    Mother, is this the magic mirror that you treasured so much? But it looks like its nothing special apart from its appearance. If the magic mirror has special powers, why didnt it listen to yourmand ande out to save you and your country?


    You bastard..Dont you dare call me mother!


    Because she had difficulty with breathing, the womans expression twisted. She desperately wed at the mans wrist and wanted to break free, but she was no match for the mans strength. Her eyes gradually became bleary.


    She used thest of her strength to curse at the man with a resentful look in her eyes.


    I curse you Snow White. Death to youDeath to you!


    What are you talking about, mother?


    After the womans breathing stopped, the young man threw her body onto the ground. He took out a handkerchief and meticulously cleaned his hand including his fingers. His face had a smile, but his eyes were cold and dark.


    You clearly already knew that I have already died.


    It was even you who personally instructed the hunter to kill me and dig out my heart.


    Just because this magic mirror said that I would one day destroy this country.


    ..But, now that I think about it. Its wasnt wrong. That prediction was indeed true.


    His hands loosened slightly, and the snow-white handkerchief gently fell to the ground. In an instant, it was stained with blood.


    An, Kai,e in.


    The young manzily supported the side of his face as he sat on the throne. He watched the pce door open and two identical dark knights walked in. They bowed respectfully to him and said: Your Excellency, please give us yourmands.


    Go and send my mother off on her final journey. The young man hooked up the corner of his lips. He said casually, Take her to Eternal Sleep City and let them turn her into a blood sacrifice. Release her in the arena and let the ves have some fun with her.


    The pair of knights heard his instructions and their expressions didnt change. They maintained their cold and frosty look, bowed and moved to take away the womans body.


    No, wait a minute.


    At this moment, the young man raised his hand slightly, gesturing for them to stop. His eyes then moved to Cheng Zhi Chus direction. Separated by ayer of ss, their eyes just happened to meet, shocking Cheng Zhi Chu.


    The young man slowly walked down the steps and the pair of knights also followed him over to the ss. He smiled and instructed: This magic mirror is mothers favourite treasure. Now that she is dead, this magic mirror should also apany her.


    His fingers gently slid over the surface of the ss. At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly darkened. He coldly spoke up: Break it. The fallen pieces are to be sewn into mothers body so that it will always apany her.


    We obey yourmand.


    The two dark knights pulled out their swords and pointed the tip of it at the ss. Seeing this, how could Cheng Zhi Chu not realise that he is currently inside the mirror and that his current identity is the spirit inhabiting the mirror? His expression instantly changed. He said to the system: Hurry and transfer me away!!


    Okay!]


    Thud!


    The sword smashed against the mirror and the mirror instantly shattered. Cheng Zhi Chu at this moment was being transferred by the system. As a mirror spirit, he was naturally closely connected to the magic mirror. When the mirror broke, even he was affected. His body shook and he was uncontrobly sucked through the ruptured gap in the mirror. His entire body fell out from the mirror and he mmed straight into one of the knights.


    The dark knight holding onto the sword suddenly saw a figure appear from the mirror. His cold expression didnt change, and he lifted the sword up to cut the figure but, before the tip of the de was able to touch that person, it disappeared along with a bright sh. Without a sword blocking him, that person fell directly into his arms.


    Even after experiencing many wars, the knight had never experienced something like this. He widened his eyes slightly and revealed a look of surprise. The other persons body was both soft and light and he also felt very fragile. It was as if he could easily be broken with just one hand.


    At this moment, he unconsciously moved his arm and tightened his grip around the person in his arms. The next moment he reacted and realised how ridiculous this action of his was. He quickly pushed the other person away from his arms and the other person fell back onto the ground.


    Cheng Zhi Chu fell to the ground and his mind was still in confusion. He didnt understand why the transfer would suddenly fail. He then heard the system speak tremblingly: Oh no. Earlier the space distorted and I transferred away the wrong thing. I identally transferred away the sword.]


    But dont worry, I wont let you die. Even if you are cut apart by Snow White, I have a way to keep you from dying!]


    Stop talking! He would rather just die then and there!!


    Cheng Zhi Chu huddled into a small ball on the ground. Suddenly, a pair of slender legs appeared before his eyes. His chin was then gently lifted up and a beautiful young mans face was reflected in his eyes.


    Oh? Are you the spirit living in the mirror?


    Although the young man was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. The look in his blood-red eyes was extremely blood-chilling.


    So youre the one who prophesied that I would destroy this country and instruct my mother to-


    His words suddenly stopped. A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.


    The mirror spirit had suddenly grabbed him by the back of his neck and kissed him on the lips.
