Chapter 189 Chapter 190 Rumors (Part 2)
Countless women and girls’ dream lovers in Marin City appeared right in the boudoir of the wife of Black Soy Sauce Egg (the nickname Ji Ma gave to the ship mage).
Before Ji Ma injected the “power of lies” into the silent illusion, granting it various realistic powers, she suddenly thought of a great idea. She lowered her head, looking down at Marin City within the dream, setting her sights on the dream of Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife.
“Let’s have a spring dream.”
The power of the succubus distorted Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife’s dream. She had merely intended to take a nap but ended up encountering the blond-haired Prince Is in her dream. Although she felt a rush of excitement upon seeing him, when Prince Is invited her, she turned her head and said that she was already married.
However, Prince Is was relentless and used some firm methods…
The mirror showed the reality of Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife; she lay on the low bed, turning her head and began to talk in her sleep: “If you keep this up, I’ll call someone.”
Before long, her cheeks flushed, and drool flowed from the corner of her mouth as she murmured: “Don’t always be so forceful, don’t…”
“No, that won’t do, Prince Is…”
“You’re amazing, much better than my husband…”
“Um, um…”
Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife suddenly arched her head back and woke up abruptly from the dream. She opened her eyes, gasping for air, her neck and ears already flushed.
Realizing that the handsome, romantic, yet rough man from earlier was just a dream, she felt a sense of loss, sitting up with drooping eyelids, secretly saddened. It was like when a child discovers one day that everything in a fairy tale book is fake—there’s no magical blue cat that can talk, nor is there a fat cat coming out of a drawer.
How could kind-hearted Ji Ma bear to see this?
Raising her hand, she infused the “power of lies” into the illusion, and she could almost see the pale yellow power flowing into the illusion’s body, endowing it with some functions, like the voice of Prince Is.
He patted Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife’s shoulder and politely said, “Madam, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
But the large bulge on his tight pants was rather impolite.
Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife suddenly turned her head, dumbfounded on the bed.
Ji Ma’s heart skipped a beat. If Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife suddenly screamed, all her investments would have gone down the drain. She had never tempted a married woman to cheat like this before.
Sure enough, it wasn’t that simple…
Just as Ji Ma was worried, Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife smiled and stood up, saying, “You’re finally here.”
Ji Ma let out a sigh of relief and manipulated the illusion to say:
“Madam, I’m here.”
After saying that, the illusion pushed Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife down and pressed against her, one hand supporting next to her. Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife, surprised but also somewhat expectant, blushed and occasionally glanced at the bulge of the illusion.
She said, “You, don’t do that.”
“I prefer to be forceful.”
The illusion had somehow added a red rose to its mouth; it took off the red rose and handed it to Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife, “But occasionally being gentle isn’t a bad thing either.”
Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife’s face was bright red.
At that moment, the door suddenly swung open.
A shiny black egghead entered first—it was the ship mage.
“That succubus really acts like a loach; no matter what, I can’t catch her…”
The wife and the illusion of Prince Is both turned to look at Black Soy Sauce Egg, who had just entered. The illusion of Prince Is had its knee wedged between the wife’s legs, with one hand resting next to her shoulder. The wife’s face was red, marked with a mix of surprise, fear, and a hint of a blissful smile.
Black Soy Sauce Egg’s face changed, his eyes widened, and he angrily shouted, “Prince Is? What is going on here?”
The illusion of Prince Is retracted his leg and stood up, “This is just a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?!” Black Soy Sauce Egg strode towards Prince Is, loudly asking, “Explain what you mean by misunderstanding!”
“Your wife is too great; it can’t be helped.” The illusion of Prince Is tossed the red rose to the wife and quickly retreated to the window.
“Die!” Black Soy Sauce Egg roared, his beard standing up as if electrocuted, both hands wielding lightning as he unleashed a furious attack towards Prince Is.
“Boom!”
The glass shattered, the window frame flew away, and in a fit of rage, Black Soy Sauce Egg created a large hole in the window. The thunderous noise echoed back and forth between the buildings, leaving a rolling resonance.
“No!”
The young and beautiful wife screamed, the rose in her hand had vanished unbeknownst to her. Not paying much attention to that, she lifted her skirt, ignoring the rubble and shards of glass on the ground, rushing toward the broken hole, but there was no longer any trace of her dream lover. She could not help but scream, “Is~~~.”
The servants working below and pedestrians on the street outside looked curiously at the grieving wife.
Black Soy Sauce Egg gritted his teeth, just about to go educate his young wife when—
The butler rushed in, holding a weapon, asking urgently, “What happened?”
Black Soy Sauce Egg turned around and said, “Gather all the servants; they must not tell anyone about what happened today.”
“Understood.”
“Ha, naive.”
Ji Ma snapped her fingers, causing the divination scene in the magic mirror to vanish. She looked down at Marin City in the dream, where amidst a mass of rumor-laden yellow mist, a dazzling yellow dot was born. Looking closely, it was the rumor of Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife cheating with Prince Is.
She pointed at it and infused a bit of the power of lies, as a preliminary investment.
In the real world, those servants who had just been warned not to speak carelessly were inexplicably filled with a desire to share. After the meeting, they whispered to one another, and soon everyone knew about Black Soy Sauce Egg’s wife’s affair with Prince Is, caught by their own master.
Ten minutes later, nearby servants also learned of it.
An hour later, as the servants returned from the market, the rumor spread like a virus.
Ji Ma was very satisfied with the effect. She opened her personal system. Earlier, she had prepared a list of allies of Prince Is, noting everyone who had cooperated with him, regardless of gender.
She turned to the list and crafted one rumor after another. Initially, she intended to continue using the combination of “divination + silent illusion + dream entry” to spread lies.
But the resource expenditure for casting was too high, so she thought better of it and decided to find an opportunity to spread the rumors.
“Although the effect is great,” Ji Ma muttered to herself, “as long as the ship mage is rational, he will surely notice something is wrong and will only be able to disgust Prince Is.”
Moreover, she had more important matters to attend to—stirring up the masses of Marin City to pursue wealth, so she could exploit their greed to ruin the city—this would be enough to make the other forces compromise with her.
But how to do that?
She crossed her fingers under her chin and continued to ponder.
Currently, there were no ideas.
“Meow! Meow!”
The calls of Lianxi Cat echoed in the dream palace.
“Discovered that quickly?”
Ji Ma snapped out of her thoughts, mounted on her somersault cloud, returned to the entrance, and jumped in, arriving in reality.
As she returned to reality, she looked around; no one was present.
“What’s going on?” she asked Lilianxi Cat by her feet.
Lilianxi Cat stood up, raised a hand, and pointed in the direction of Marin City.
Ji Ma flapped her wings and climbed up a tree.
At that moment, the voice of Is echoed through the sky above Marin City, even though Ji Ma was deep within the forest, she could hear it clearly.
“…repeat, everyone, whoever can find the whereabouts of the terrifying mad succubus Ji Ma will be rewarded with five hundred gold coins! Once found, just shout my name to the sky to report.”
Ji Ma’s expression changed slightly: “Damn, can extraordinary abilities really be used in conjunction with monetary rewards like this?”
