VCRMM: Chapter 262

“Huh, what?”

Xu Sili felt Si Sheng’s suppressed anger, as if he was about to go and settle accounts with the sea elves at any time. Xu Sili had to hurriedly say, “No, Si Sheng. You misunderstood.”

He endured the strange feeling of his scales being touched and said in a slightly trembling voice, “This is a skill given to me by the Tree of Life of the sea elves. It can be activated in water.”

He glanced at the panel.

“Thanks to the fishtail, my swimming speed in water will increase and… I can also control the water element!”

Xu Sili’s eyes lit up as if he got a new toy and he forgot to be shy for a moment.

He stretched out his right hand toward the water and saw a faint blue light on his hand. Then he saw the water level, which originally only reached his lower abdomen, rising again.

Xu Sili stopped casting the spell only when the entire bathtub was filled and about to overflow.

So now he was a dual elementalist of sound and water?

“This is great!”

Xu Sili laughed. He moved his tail to get rid of Si Sheng’s hand and swam slowly in the bathtub.

The bathing pool took up most of the palace and was more than enough for him to swim and move his tail in it.

A young merman with silver hair and a silver tail was swimming in crystal clear water. The light was softly shining on the water, and his silver scales shimmered with tiny rays of light.

This scene was so beautiful.

Si Sheng’s tense mood relaxed when he confirmed that the other person wasn’t in any danger.

Watching this tempting scene quietly, his breathing became rapid and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

At this time, the young man broke through the water and rushed out.

“Splash—”

He closed his eyes and gently swayed his body to shake off the water droplets.

Clear water flowed down his long silver hair, revealing his pointed ears. He had completely transformed into a merman and looked more enchantingly beautiful than usual.

Si Sheng’s gaze shifted downward.

The young man’s shoulders, back and waist were all soaked in the pool water, looking crystal clear and so charming that people couldn’t take their eyes away.

“It is so cool!”

Xu Sili wiped the water off his face and looked at Si Sheng. “I can even breathe underwater.”

“It feels very different from using the underwater breathing potion. I don’t feel suffocated at all. My mind is even clearer. Merfolk are indeed worthy of being the overlords of the sea…”

As he spoke, he suddenly fell silent.

It was because the blond-haired man, who was originally standing by the pool and watching him quietly, suddenly flashed in front of him.

Xu Sili was startled.

He was about to say something when the man grabbed his waist and leaned over to seal his lips.

His kiss was domineering and passionate. Xu Sili didn’t reject it and soon indulged in the man’s kiss.

The merfolk’s scales seemed more sensitive than human skin. He swung his tail, splashing the water.

Under the dim lights of the palace, they hugged each other and lingered in their love. Due to the difference in form, it brought a more wonderful sensory experience than usual…

Early in the morning, Xu Sili woke up slowly.

He lay on the bed in the bedroom. The light came in from the window and fell on his snow-white shoulders, reflecting the marks there.

Frowning slightly, he turned over and buried his head in the arms of the man beside him, avoiding the bright light.

Si Sheng stroked the silver hair, held it in his palm and kissed it gently.

“Ah Li.”

“Don’t talk.”

Xu Sili reached out to cover the man’s mouth. He didn’t want to hear Si Sheng’s voice right now.

A month had passed since he first changed to a fishtail. However, this guy seemed addicted to it and asked him to transform into a fishtail every day for fun.

Xu Sili didn’t get hurt or feel pain but… he would be tired!

How long had it been since he walked out of his bedroom in the morning?

Even his oldest brother reminded him to exercise moderation when coming to see him a few days ago.

Xu Sili’s ears turned red when thinking of the scene at that time.

It was all Si Sheng’s fault!

Si Sheng had his mouth covered and looked at the young man innocently, but he really didn’t say anything.

In fact, if the young man refused then he would endure it even if he wanted it very much. But… every time, he only mentioned it slightly and the young man agreed.

How could Si Sheng possibly endure such indulgence?

Not to mention… he really enjoyed the days when it was just the two of them. Ah Li always had so many things to do and so many ideas to realize.

Si Sheng was willing to stand behind him, protect him silently, watch him shine and watch him be happy, but sometimes… he also felt lonely.

At least for this month, Ah Li’s time completely belonged to him. This was a happiness he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

Last time, it was during the trial world.

It felt like too much time had passed. Now, he had such happiness again.

Although, it was still short-lived.

Si Sheng also realized that one month was already the limit. He would provoke Ah Li if he continued to ask for it.

He took the young man’s hand away from his mouth and rubbed it gently against the side of his face.

“Sleep well. I won’t mess with you this time.”

He raised his other hand. The bright light from outside was blocked, leaving the bedroom in complete darkness.

Xu Sili finally fell asleep with peace of mind.

It was already evening when he woke up again. He slept very well this time. He felt refreshed and not tired at all.

The maids were used to it. At first, Janice would look at him hesitantly when he was eating. Now she had become considerate enough to not look at him at all.

Xu Sili had given up and didn’t care any longer.

He might’ve been idle for a month and given himself a vacation, but he actually still paid attention to information from the outside world.

Currently, the construction of the five main cities had been completed. The infrastructure was sufficient to be upgraded to level 5. It could be upgraded as long as the software was in place.

Due to the production and use of elemental cannons, the construction of the City of the Braves was also put on the agenda. Players used their imagination to freely develop within the specified land area.

No one could predict what type of strange city would be built in the end.

However, players were optimistic and expectant.

After all, this was a game for them. Since it was a game, they had to play it according to their wishes.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be no different from reality if they just followed the rules and made unified plans? What was the point?

Xu Sili let them do whatever they wanted as long as they didn’t go beyond the scope of his plan.

In addition to the six main cities, the territories were also being gradually recovered. With the participation of players in clearing monsters, the casualties had been reduced to a minimum. On the contrary, the efficiency had been greatly improved.

Since they killed a lot of interstellar beasts in one wave during the previous beast wave, it was now difficult for large-scale interstellar beasts to gather. The recovery of land was very quick.

The elementalist construction team once again found a place to go.

Due to the increase in elemental concentration and the promotion of the meditation and body tempering techniques, more and more people were awakening their elemental affinity. The team of elementalists involved in construction and production was growing bigger.

The Roland Empire had completely gotten rid of the famine problem and had enough of a surplus. Combine this with the needs of the players and the empire’s original farming and processing factories had developed toward the pursuit of a higher quality.

It could be said that even though the crops produced by elementalists were of good quantity, their taste was inferior to those produced through intensive cultivation.

The crops that were cultivated became popular products for a while. Many poor people were encouraged to engage in land farming.

Wen Jishan also took the opportunity to promote the farming methods of the daughter of the Yin family and carry out large-scale planting.

According to his second brother, old Mr Yin was very satisfied with this arrangement.

She might be working for free, but perhaps the game had activated her nerves. His daughter, who had been in a coma for many years, had significantly better physical examination data recently.

The doctors even said that there was hope for her to wake up again.

The news had been suppressed for the time being, but if it was really confirmed that the holographic game had a therapeutic effect on coma patients then the value of Starry Sky Age would definitely increase exponentially.

The food ordered by the Sigta Empire and the five small civilian spaceships that were leased also arrived safely on Sigta Star.

But he heard that something unpleasant happened.

The Sigta Empire doubted the capabilities of the five civilian spaceships and even wanted to return them. But perhaps due to the military force previously displayed by the Starry Sky, they didn’t dare to speak directly.

Around a week after their arrival, the star thieves once again harassed the Sigta Empire.

They suffered heavy losses last time. This time, after recuperation, they were ready to get something back. They also detected that the Roland Empire’s troops had left, so they dared to come blatantly.

Then…

Xiao Wu had a lot of fun.

It might take five small spaceships to match one Starry Sky, but there were more tactics and tricks that could be played.

This time, the Blood Dance star thieves were once again defeated.

The Sigta Empire once again felt the power of the Roland Empire. Not only did they express their gratitude, but they also lowered the price of the space item materials.

The development on land and towards the universe was proceeding in an orderly manner. The construction of the territory of the sea elves was also in full swing.

The group of sea beasts that originally lingered near the Tree of Life was gradually devoured by players and the NPC army. Now they were approaching the former habitat of the sea elves.

He heard there were players going to ruins to hunt for treasures every day. Some people were lucky enough to obtain an inheritance.

In short, Xu Sili might’ve taken a month off but it didn’t have much impact on the operation of the nation.

It could be said that… it was really comfortable!

After finishing the meal, it was already dark. Xu Yuheng happened to come online to see him, and Xu Sili told him about the plan against the Bewatt Empire.

“Inform Old Wang and the other game planners first? Otherwise, I’m worried they will… well, be in a bad mood.”

Xu Yuheng thought about it and nodded.

However, he felt it might be more than just a bad mood.
