Free Web NovelChapter 1494: Chapter 68: Men
"Hmm..."
Moli had a very long, long dream. In the dream, she fought fiercely with Rafael, Elizabeth, or maybe some other Lady of Fisher, she couldn’t remember. She only remembered defeating them one by one and driving them all away.
She also remembered that those Ladies were no match for her. In reality, those women, who she thought were far superior to her, were all defeated by her without any suspense, and they all helplessly watched her monopolize Mr. Fischer.
"Moli, you..."
Perhaps in the dream, those Ladies would look at her with extreme unwillingness and say, and as Moli looked at those eyes, the anger inside her grew even more intense, almost bursting out with a sentence,
"I was obviously here first!"
"..."
Those shadowy figures resembling Ladies fell silent simultaneously, seemingly frightened by the current Moli, lowering their heads and not daring to look at her...
But that wasn’t enough. Behind her, a calm female voice suddenly sounded again,
"Moli."
"..."
Moli was slightly startled and turned around. The shadows representing the Ladies behind her dissipated, leaving only the image of the expressionless beautiful woman in front of her.
"Mother?"
It was the Whale-man Species, Xuan Can.
Xuan Can looked at her directly, scanning her up and down, then slowly extended her hand towards her and said,
"Come back with me, Moli."
"Go back... but I haven’t..."
"Have you forgotten our agreement?"
Xuan Can still looked at her expressionlessly, but an undeniable aura emanated from her, and she said,
"The time has come, and you have not reached the Mythical Rank. If you don’t achieve it, you must return to the Sea Floor with me. Have you forgotten what you said to me?"
"I..."
Moli bit her lip but couldn’t refute her mother’s words. She just suddenly felt wronged in her heart and explained,
"But I’ve really tried very hard. I’ve tried many ways. Clearly, I reached the threshold of the Mythical Gate long, long ago, but no matter what, I can’t enter... Mother, I don’t have the talent you have, I can’t find the direction, I can’t find the way to enter the Mythical Rank, but if I find the right method, I will surely..."
However, Xuan Can remained unmoved. She just took a step forward and suddenly reached out her hand towards her, as if at this moment, Xuan Can’s figure became blurred, not like the mother she knew, making Moli suddenly feel a deep-seated fear, as if this fear was entrenched within her heart...
The concept of her fear.
She didn’t even know why she felt fear towards her mother. Even at the moment this thought arose, she felt absurd and guilty, feeling she had betrayed Xuan Can’s love for her...
But Xuan Can’s hand didn’t fall elsewhere; she only gently touched Moli’s head, like a beam of light interrupting her shrinking-back movement, making her look at Xuan Can again with tears in her eyes.
Her eyes saw not only Xuan Can but also, not far behind her, stood a male Whale-man Species emitting a faint glow, smiling at her.
The Whale-man Species had a gentle demeanor but an indistinct face and form. Moli could only vaguely make out that he wore a gold ring on the ring finger of his left hand, and his light blue long hair draped over his chest, making the connection between him and herself unmistakable with just one glance.
It was her father, Hooked kiss.
"...Dad?"
Faced with Moli’s somewhat incredulous question, this father, whom she had never met since birth, seemed slightly taken aback. Then, he slowly raised his hand and pointed in a direction behind her.
His murmur-like voice, indistinct as if hidden beneath the water’s surface, drifted gently towards her, saying,
"The door to the Mythical Rank is there, ready to welcome your opportunities and challenges, daughter."
"..."
Moli was just about to look back at the appearance of that door behind her, but everything around her retreated, the great dream dissipating at that moment, leaving only a trace of crimson that her peripheral vision last captured.
"!"
In reality, Moli opened her eyes with ragged breaths, and what met her eyes was the not-so-bright interior of Elliog’s castle. She was still lying on the soft bed, wrapped in thick bedding, her body feeling somewhat weak.
She blinked silently, then looked to her side and saw Fisher, already dressed, discussing something with Elliog.
"...So you’re saying we should first close the portals within the Dynasty?"
"Yes, but not all, only the portals related to Agares and Barbatos. Without their portals, even if they sensed something was wrong and rushed back to the Dynasty, they would have to take one of the gates within ’Ten Desires Gate,’ which would be very troublesome for us as well, buying us a lot of time... yawn~"
Elliog crossed her arms, still full of spirit, intending to go beat up Helair, yet after just a few words turned into this sleepy state, yawning every couple of sentences again.
Fortunately, her thinking remained clear and logical, but Fisher considered for a moment and said,
"...Earlier, Helair told me they would take action against Rafael at the correct time, which is when the Doomsday Prophecy opens. I’m very worried that if they can’t enter the Demon Dynasty, they’ll go after Rafael, putting her in trouble, which would eventually lead to a problem for the entire plan."
