Free Web NovelChapter 1740: Chapter 1287:
Vishi did not, as Felix speculated, immediately regain her freedom and rush off to other lands, rekindling her old business and delivering a minor shock as a Ghost Prophet to this era—whatever soul refining or death games, she arranged it all, racing against time to grow stronger, becoming the secret mastermind behind countless urban legends. She not only didn’t leave Blood Moon but didn’t even leave Kaimon City. Instead, she randomly picked a lucky entrepreneur, soul-dominated him, moved into a mansion, and spent a lazy day watching dramas.
Therefore, thirty minutes after "Professor Siflin from Kaimon City Comprehensive University Affiliated Hospital developed a new miracle for soul communication" hit the trending news, Vishi returned to her loyal hotel.
"I see, we actually have a captain named Ash in our squad."
Vishi sat on the lounge chair, her posture lazy, her demeanor casual. Today she was finally not in a maid outfit but wore a black-gray turtleneck shirt under a white dress, layered with a warm yellow work jacket. Her long, straight, fair legs were crossed, and her fashionable black zip boots looked chic. Siflin immediately recognized this style as the classic attire of one of the female protagonists from last year’s hit Blood Moon drama, "Mage 100%," a show that Meiwa used to drag her along to watch.
Not only Vishi but both Diya and Weiser stayed, three demigods, one divine being, two legendaries, and two from the Holy Domain—this female mage assembly in the room was quite the incredible lineup across the six nations.
Thus, Vishi glanced around, her lips curved slyly, her eyes mocking Meiwa, "And that man, he’s still the lover of us all?"
"No, at least half a year ago, Miss Felix and Miss Dedarose were not," Freyja said earnestly, holding a diary duplicate, "Back then, Dedarose once proposed a request to sleep with him that stirred him, but he refused because he really dislikes the touch of the Gods of Four Pillars; also, Felix hated him, thus their relationship was merely that of a follower to a lord."
"Truly the ones who were his lovers and had intimate contact with him were only me, Sif, Miss Sword Maiden, Miss Witch, Miss Silver Lamp, and Miss Maid."
Vishi looked at Sonia, chuckling, "You called me back, meaning you believe this ghost story? Even if it’s a witch, but you’re also such a love-thirsty type? But you being love-minded is fine, do you think I’m also love-minded? Insulting me when we’re acquainted?"
As she spoke, Vishi’s laughter turned cold and fierce, the aura of the soul demigod flooding the room like an abyss and prison, making mortal Freyja and others quake as if plunged into an icehouse!
"It mentioned some secrets only I know, and after serious reflection, I found some details don’t match." Sonia took a step forward, the tense atmosphere in the room shattering, and she said calmly, "I smuggled to Time Continent through the Path of Origin, but to trigger the Golden Fish Poison smuggling, there must be two people, yet in my memory, there was only me... I never felt anything wrong until comparing with this diary, then discovered unexplainable loopholes existed."
"Witch, Silver Lamp read the diary too and found some unexplainable details in their memories. Like a puzzle missing a piece, even if completed with leftovers, meticulous examination reveals lines can’t form a complete pattern." Sonia said, "We called you back to see if you also lost key memories, if even you as a soul demigod show this condition..."
Vishi glanced at Diya with disheveled hair and the pondering Weiser, reaching for the diary copy on the table.
The copy already had four tags, namely "Sea of Knowledge - Sword Maiden," "Time Continent - Sword Witch," "Distant Realm - Sword Witch Weiser," "Ruby Mountain/Allstars Cage - Vishi."
She flipped straight to the Ruby Mountain section, her expression always neutral, but her page-turning slowed, even plunging into thought as she browsed.
When she reached the last page, she couldn’t help frowning, "Why does it end before the third Angel Hunt?"
"Probably because Meiwa met him." Siflin, sitting on the bed hugging her legs, analyzed, "In my memory, Meiwa, Hanna, Tamasi, and I all participated in the third Angel Hunt, and also met you inside, surely meeting him too. If he’s truly the person Freyja loves, Meiwa would surely pour her heart out to him and reveal she possesses a diary copy, has always been watching him... a diary is for oneself; if for others, it’s a memoir."
"Besides, he wrote the diary to evolve the Technique Spirit ’Secret Poison Diary,’ but at the legendary stage, he’s no longer troubled by secret poison side effects, naturally lacking motivation to write diaries. Judging by the diary’s content, he seems like quite a lazy person."
Vishi nodded repeatedly as she listened, "Hmm, lazy and lustful, impulsive and reckless, willing to risk everything for shadows, even dragged me into the water..."
Felix couldn’t help asking, "Vishi, do you think such a person truly exists?"
"At least it explains why I helped the shadows inside Allstars Cage break through the Allstars Heavenly Curtain." Vishi glanced at Felix’s face, "Even if I’m good with them, I wouldn’t involve myself in such a thankless nuisance, especially troubling the Supreme Star... unless someone forced me."
Sonia said, "According to the diary, the one binding you wasn’t me, but him. I thought about it, I indeed don’t have memories of using the Ruby Chain on you, but somehow the chain’s management rights fell into my hands."
"So even if this guy disappeared, he still wouldn’t unlock my chain!?"
Vishi was almost laughing in anger, "He’s so wary of me, won’t even let his soul be dominated by me! Do you all think I’d like this kind of person?"
Weiser laughed, "The premise for you liking someone is that they’re bound by you, right?"
"Otherwise, would I be bound by someone else?" Vishi retorted, "Moreover, the diary didn’t say I like him, at most it had content of me tempting him, which he rejected... he actually dared reject my overture!"
"Isn’t that normal?" Diya said, "Though Silver Lamp hadn’t revived then, but outside there were me and Sword Maiden, two girlfriends, you naturally had no attraction to him."
Vishi cast a glance at her, quickly flipping through previous contents, and chuckled, "You call yourselves girlfriends? One was a daughter for a few months, while the other never met him in reality from start to finish? Is dating in your era this bland?"
"Yet he’d rather yearn for us across the Heavenly Curtain than touch you even once~" Diya giggled.
"His attitude softened from initial wariness to leaning in the third Angel Hunt, becoming one of my subordinates was just a matter of time." Vishi said calmly, "Ah, I get it... you all probably are his lovers, but for me, the likelihood is only he inevitably fell for me, became my controlled subordinate."
Weiser raised her brows, "If so, then why were you wearing the chain until yesterday?"
"I surely kept still to reassure him." Vishi’s expression unchanged, "Don’t speculate Ghost Prophet with your mindset, I’m different from your love-minded bunch."
Diya blinked her eyes, "To infiltrate, you’d even share a lover with us?"
"How could it be possible, since he fell for me and was dominated by me, naturally he would abandon you all, these flowers and grass. After all, even a dog can only be my dog." Vishi gave them a glance, then changed her tune, "But maybe, since he liked me, you liked him, so I can dominate you through him... the plot that follows is probably me using him to secretly control the squad."
Weiser asked, "Then why did he hand Ruby Chain to Sword Maiden instead of unlocking you? Doesn’t that indicate he trusts and likes Sword Maiden the most?"
"Losing to Sword Maiden is no shame," Diya comforted, "She was his first love and pure muse, Vishi, you not winning is normal, even I could only become the position of Red Rose."
"But Ash seems most impacted by Silver Lamp, for Silver Lamp died for him, becoming a god, a huge shock to him." Felix said weakly, "Liking Sword Maiden the most isn’t questionable, but the second I’d think shouldn’t be you, Witch..."
"Of course, this must be based on acquaintance order—Sword Maiden, me, Silver Lamp, lastly Vishi!"
"If really by acquaintance order, Ash’s second favored ought to be me." Freyja couldn’t help but interject.
Siflin wanted to speak but stopped—as the diary stated, Ash already knew Sword Maiden in Void Realm before, meeting her in prison, though then she was a masked Medical Practitioner, she really was the first female Ash knew.
"I’m a Soul Mage skilled in mind control, not comparable to your childlike romance, I’ll have him obsessed with me from the soul level... No way!"
Vishi suddenly realized while speaking, "Why are we arguing about who he likes? Ultimately this is but his side of the story in the diary, even if he’s real, but did we indeed have a relationship with him? Is it possible all the emotional drama in the diary is his fantasy?"
