The King of Curses

Chapter 304 Camellia Girl

The first round of competition was about to begin. Cen Dongsheng looked at the crazy gamblers below. He had no interest in gambling, nor in appreciating the crazy look of people falling into the abyss, so he decided to leave.

He and "One" returned to the door again.

The VIP channel was empty except for a figure in a dark green dress. She was looking at the bright sunshine on the deck in the distance, her face shrouded in a shadow of melancholy.

"That one is..."

Cen Dongsheng found that she looked very similar to Yi and quickly remembered her identity.

"my little sister."

The snail girl next to him said.

When they first met at a night banquet a few days ago, Cen Dongsheng felt that the second sister of the snail girls seemed like the lively type, while the eldest sister was more calm; only a few nights later, his impression of the two had changed drastically.

"I'll go meet her."

Yi showed a faint smile. Cen Dongsheng found that this smile was different from the shy smile when he was with him.

Maybe it’s because they are sisters and have a better relationship, he thought.

……

"Sister, sister."

The second sister among the snail girls saw the two people approaching, she concealed the melancholy on her face, and subconsciously exerted force on the palms that were originally grasping the railing, until her knuckles turned white, and she seemed a little nervous.

If you look closely, you'll find that her facial features don't resemble Yi's, and it's obvious that they're not related by blood - both of them were transformed by Meng Huafan; but perhaps because they're of the same race, or because they dress similarly, their temperaments and the impressions they give are extremely similar.

"You guys are back. Don't you plan on continuing?"

"Yes."

"Where's Mr. Cen? Don't you plan to go down and play a few games?"

The second sister's eyes fell on the man's face, and then quickly moved her eyes downwards. She asked in a low voice, her expression slightly stiff.

"I'm not interested. And why are you here?"

Cen Dongsheng did not hide his doubts.

"The sex gambling den was actually built by the two of us together."

Yi answered with a smile.

"Later, my younger sister was in charge."

"So she was watching us?"

"It's possible. Of course, there's another possibility, she came just to see you."

As he said this, he waved to his sister.

"come here."

The second sister blinked, then obediently moved closer.

One step, two steps, until he was three steps away from Cen Dongsheng.

But Yi seemed still unsatisfied. She frowned and the tail spike behind her stood up.

"I asked you to come over here. Why are you standing so far away? Are you worried that Mr. Cen will eat you?"

Her tone suddenly turned subtly colder.

The second sister moved her steps and moved closer to Cen Dongsheng. After her younger sister came closer, Yi's expression relaxed.

"She's just like me."

The girl raised her head and gave the man a shy smile.

"?"

But at this time, only question marks appeared in the man's head.

"??"

Same? What's the same? She's also here to marry?
But Cen Dongsheng was really not interested in the girls in front of him, and he couldn't help but hold his forehead.

...“When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.”

Joking aside, he knew very well that he was by no means the charismatic type.

The only possibility Cen Dongsheng could think of was that the two sisters came to please Meng Huafan after receiving his orders.

However, the eldest sister seemed willing to accept it, while the second sister was not interested and her expression looked stiff.

Alas, he actually used the "honey trap" trick. I really don't know how he sees himself...

Is it because of his ambiguous relationship with Sister Zhizhen and Sister Qingyan?
But since they knew that Cen Dongsheng was their lover, why would they use other women to seduce him? Who would dare to cheat under their noses?

Although he did dare, it was a "conditional" dare.

Cen Dongsheng was about to refuse them from approaching when he heard Yi say.

"I have something to say to my sister, so let's stop here for now."

She offered to stay and gave him a happy and beautiful smile.

"Mr. Cen, I am very happy today, thank you for accompanying me."

"……You're welcome."

He felt that he had just taken a detour with the other party and chatted for a while, but the other party's favorability towards him seemed to increase very quickly, from being shy to not daring to speak, and then to actively expressing affection, as if the dating process was running several times faster.

This kind of unexplained affection only makes people feel creepy...

"I'm leaving."

Cen Dongsheng shook his head, turned around and left quickly.

……

She watched his back go away, as if she was really reluctant to let him go, her eyes always staying on his back.

Even after the man disappeared, the smile on her face did not fade.

The snail girl turned around and saw her sister's gaze also fixed in that direction -

But unlike me, my sister looked away because she didn't want to look me in the eye.

That didn't stop her from teasing.

"Well, he's gone."

Yi stretched out his hand and placed it on his sister's slender shoulders.

"Don't be too obsessed. You can't really compete with me..."

"Who would be... obsessed!"

The sister's reaction was very intense. She started to tremble when Yi put his hand on her. When she heard the words, she suddenly shook her arm away, and the edges of her pupils turned red.

"I don't even know him...! How can I like someone I don't know?"

"Well, that shouldn't be the case. To be able to attract women like An Zhizhen and Yi Qingyan, this man must have a very strong charm, like some special ability or talent. Even the special curse master can't resist him, so wouldn't ordinary women just pounce on him if he just waved his hand?"

Yi stroked his chin, looking thoughtful. "I can't understand what I said, but you can't understand it either, sister? Is it because you are not a pure human in terms of race?"

The younger sister didn't say anything, but just stared at her blankly in anxiety and fear, not daring to run away or speak.

"... Could it be that there are limitations on his performance? Or is he deliberately restraining himself?"

Until Yi took the initiative to ask her to answer.

"I, I don't understand what you are saying..." The snail girl raised her tail sting and wrapped it around her legs. This was a psychological hint of self-protection. She replied tremblingly, "I only know that this is the first time Mr. Cen and I have met..."

"Really? It turns out that men and women can't like each other when they first meet. It takes time to accumulate. So, I was too enthusiastic just now, so it must have seemed strange to him?"

"Isn't this... of course?"

"I see. Thanks for the answer."

Yi's face was filled with a smile, as bright as the sunlight shining on the deck of the ship at that moment, and she nodded.

"I still have a hard time understanding human 'emotions', so it's inevitable that I'll make stupid mistakes. No wonder he left as if he was escaping. Haha, so cute... I thought he saw through my disguise."

Yi placed his hands on his breasts, and his slender fingers kneaded them casually as if dissatisfied, moving them like toys.

"I thought this image was pretty good looking, and 'scarcity makes things valuable', with slightly unusual features, it's enough to arouse the interest of human males."

“Don’t… use your sister’s image to do this…!”

The snail girl clenched her teeth, anger bursting from her pupils, and she subconsciously wanted to stop it; but when her eyes met Yi's, the anger disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"I understand. I...I won't say anything more..."

Yi Zhao took a step forward, while the snail girl took a step back tremblingly. She watched the other party raise his hand for the second time, her lips trembling, and her tone filled with fear.

When the two of them got close, Snail Girl smelled a faint fragrance from the "sister" in front of her.

For the "daughter of the sea" who lives on the ship all year round, this fragrance is unfamiliar. If you are a land-based person, you may notice that it is the fragrance of camellia, elegant but extremely difficult to distinguish.

"Are you afraid of me?"

The camellia girl put her hands behind her back. The strong sunlight shone through her from behind, blocking her face. Only her voice could be heard.

"You should actually be more scared. The reason you still have the courage to stand in front of me is because you have contacted your father, right?"

The blood color disappeared from the snail girl's face, and her pupils suddenly shrank into circles.

Her knees gave way and she fell to her knees.
The crystal clear tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string, and combined with her already mermaid-like strange and gorgeous appearance, it reminded people of the legend of "the mermaid weeps pearls".

The snail girl burst into tears.

"Please...please let me go..."

"When you first confronted me, weren't you very brave and said you would cooperate with me and save your sister?"

"Please...let my sister go..."

“How greedy.”

She laughed.

"Come to think of it, you said that it was your first time meeting that man and you were not familiar with him, so it was not possible... Hehe. In fact, this is only the second time we met, and it was the first time we met your sister. Don't you think we are already very familiar with each other?"

The other person stood in front of her, looking down at her. Her fingers climbed up the snail girl's slender neck and stroked the scales on it. The touch was cold and soft, but it reminded her of a spider.

The snail girl was so stiff that she dared not move. In the midst of the horror of being at the mercy of others, she felt the man's fingers deftly reaching into the secret place inside her neck and caressing the soft flesh on her cheek.

"...!"

The snail girl was almost suffocated. Her most sensitive part was held in the other person's palm. She was trembling all over. She immediately lost her strength and melted on the ground like a puddle of water.

"Sister. I am your sister."

The other party whispered softly.

"Do you think I look like you? 'Sister~Sister~'"

The beautiful lips opened, revealing a tongue as soft as a clam, and a bright red mouth that seemed like a bottomless abyss.

"You... monster..."

The snail girl lay on the ground, breathing heavily, her thin skirt soaked with sweat, saliva flowing from her mouth uncontrollably, her whole body was covered with water stains, leaving a wet puddle on the ground.

"Haha, although I am indeed a monster in the eyes of humans, your dissatisfaction with me seems to come more from my behavior. This is very puzzling to me. Didn't the father you sisters respect do the same thing as me?"

The man lifted up Snail Girl's chin and whispered in her ear.

The snail girl no longer answered, as if she had made some kind of mental preparation. She lay there like a mollusk, her pupils filled with dark despair.

"Oh, that's boring. I'm giving up now."

Camellia Girl put her hands down.

"Anyway, this skin is no longer very useful. I thought humans would like it. But when we first met in my true form, he stared at my face, chest, and... feet."

She gently stroked the hair hanging by her ears, braided the shiny black hair with her slender fingers, and muttered to herself.

"But if I change back to my original appearance, I feel a bit disadvantaged."

After struggling for a while, the girl finally made a decision.

"You can see that I don't need you anymore."

The snail girl didn't make a sound. The girl reached out and grabbed her head without any hesitation, then lifted her up so that her pupils were looking into hers.

"Originally, things that are no longer needed should be disposed of, but now that I have made up my mind to learn from humans, I should try methods that I would not have chosen in the past, even if the process is more troublesome..."

"You two sisters are very lucky, aren't you? Not only do you not have to die, I'm also planning to give you a big gift."

The deep and calm, ink-like pupils and the trembling, sky-blue eyes looked at each other.

"I will remind you of everything, of your past selves, of the pain of being transformed and deceived... Then, how will you view the father you revere in your heart? Did he give you a brand new life, or did he take away everything from you? I look forward to your answer."

"By the way, your sister has already made her choice."

……

After a few breaths, the Camellia Girl threw the unconscious Snail Girl aside.

She gently stroked her face with her fingers, and her facial features and body shape changed rapidly in the blink of an eye. The dark green skirt was fading little by little, turning into the familiar plain white.

The girl looked up at the sun in the sky, which was emitting brilliant light, and muttered to herself.

"Meng Huafan, where are you hiding? You can't keep hiding from me. After all, you are the best among humans. How about showing a little bit of your dominance and confronting me head-on?"

Her voice was heard only by her, and no one answered.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter if you don't want to come out. I will find them one by one."

After floating forward for a while, the girl suddenly had an idea and remembered the answer to the previous topic.

"...Ah! I understand now. Emotions have nothing to do with strength. They are some kind of internal origin. External biological characteristics do not necessarily play a dominant role..."

"No, it cannot be said to be irrelevant. There are characteristics that vary from person to person. People with weak strength will be attracted to strong people, but for strong people, this need will be weakened, so for them, the main components of emotions will change..."

"I see, I see. Human emotions are truly amazing. Is it because they have a 'heart'? ... I have dug it out and looked at it more than once. Judging from its appearance, it is no different from my heart..."

With the fragrance of camellia, the girl's whisper floated in the corridor like a ghost, disappearing in the sunlight...
