Chapter 1090: Chapter 518: Epic Mermaid

Herbert experimented with Valentina, but the results were barely satisfactory.

The leadership effect of the crown does indeed exist, as the Giant Dragon would naturally view Herbert as a superior, even willing to voluntarily submit.

However, this effect isn’t significant for Epic Level Giants, at most making Herbert look favorable through their eyes.

Whether they truly obey commands still depends on their own hearts.

It won’t be like some hypnosis items in certain adult videos, making them roll their eyes while raising their fingers in a peace sign.

As for the effect on Legendary Giant Dragons, and how all Demons with Giant Dragon Bloodline will react, that can only be concluded through personal experimentation.

The ability is decent, but for Herbert, this ability currently doesn’t have much use.

I have no connections with the Dragon Royal Court, so why bother with this ability?

I do have a Giant Dragon, but only one.

The ability to command Giant Dragons isn’t needed at all.

Even without this ability, when I tell her to turn over, she turns over, when I tell her to bow, she bows, all positions are already unlocked.

Totally useless!

Herbert circled around the water ball a few times, observing it closely.

["Tsk! You’ve asked many times already, she’s really fine!"]

Finally, under Nenasha’s impatient assurances, it was confirmed that Fremay’s upgrade was no longer dangerous, only a matter of smoothly waiting.

["Time to go, if you keep dawdling, you’ll never leave."]

"Yeah, alright, since you say so, then it should be fine."

He finally relaxed, prepared to explore other floors, to see if he could crown some more Monster Girls, and originate several Epic battle powers.

Master He might be average in other areas, but when it comes to crowning, he’s absolutely top-notch!

A true craftsman, a legendary crowning master!

Speaking of which, if there’s a title, "Controller of Dragons" seems a bit long, can it be simplified?

"Like, say, controlling... Hmm?"

Herbert turned around, just preparing to push open the Teleportation Gate to elsewhere, and suddenly, from the water ball behind him, a pair of soft arms reached out.

Splash.

Next, he felt his vision suddenly darken.

The Miss Mermaid behind him, one hand covering his eyes, the other wrapped around his neck, intimately sticking her entire body to his back.

"Eh?"

Fremay succeeded!?

So fast!

Herbert, delighted, was about to congratulate Fremay on her Epic upgrade when a sweet yet slightly threatening voice softly whispered in his ear.

"Oh, my unfaithful hero, I don’t ask you to always be by my side. A hero like you will surely be admired by others."

"I understand all this, and don’t think it’s your fault."

Accompanied by gentle lamentation, the arm around his neck gradually tightened, the movement soft yet inexplicably causing a slight tremor.

"But hey, I only napped for a little while, where are you planning to leave me now?"

The Miss Mermaid opened her mouth, resentfully biting the unfaithful hero’s ear.

I only napped for such a short time, and you plan to sneak away?

Do you really not want to be with me!

Herbert was completely puzzled by this question.

How did I become unfaithful?

I’ve been by your side every day without anyone else’s help!

I... Oh!

"Fremay, wait a second, before you continue accusing me, I suggest you answer one question first—did you not fully wake up yet?"

Fremay hasn’t realized the issue yet.

It seems Fremay’s upgrade was entirely smooth; she didn’t realize the changes in her body.

She just slept a lot, naturally breaking through upon waking.

Valentina’s previous breakthrough took considerable time, for two reasons:

On the one hand, because a Giant Dragon’s breakthrough requires accumulating a massive amount of energy, then spending a tremendous amount of time digesting it, typically taking several months, even years or hundreds of years.

On the other hand, most of her time was spent unconsciously perfecting her bloodline, making it closer to the so-called ancestor "Dragon King."

As a naturally born Sea Demon Royal Fremay stood at the end point of her species’ evolutionary path from birth, directly skipping this step of perfecting the bloodline.

Oh.

I gotta say, the Sea Demon Royal’s bloodline is indeed enviably talented!

Herbert reminded Fremay to wake up, intending to let her notice the changes in her body, purely out of goodwill.

But he didn’t notice how this sentence expressed entirely different meanings under different contexts.

Without prior context, when heard by Fremay, the words naturally conveyed another layer of meaning.

——From "Honey, you’re groggy, wake up~" to "How dare you complain? Teaching me to do things?"

Fremay was initially just being coy, casually mumbling a few words, genuinely not angry.

But upon hearing this sentence, a sudden wave of dissatisfaction surged in her heart, as she squinted her eyes.

"...What did you say?"

You say I’m not awake?

You think I’m dull-witted?

Did I say two words and now you’re impatient?

Squeak, squeak...

Herbert felt increasing pressure on his neck and realized she might have misunderstood, quickly raising his hand to gently pat the delicate arm around his throat.
