Chapter 178 – Cat Dad Revisited Nymph and Undine

After teasing Xiaomao enough, Nymph guided the party to the boss room.

On the way there, Xiaomao got to see the improved structure of his dungeon. The former cave’s stone walls were paved and reinforced with bricks and concrete. Pillars stabilized the ceiling, and the dangerous stalactites were removed, leaving only flat and metal structures that supported the ceiling’s weight.

Magic lamps shone in orange light, illuminating the dark cave. The floor was leveled and paved with concrete as well, which was easier to walk on. The hallway seemed wider and larger than before.

Xiaomao also noticed the other significant changes in the hallway. When he was raiding the Gnoll Dungeon alone, there was only one path. But now, there were intersections.

Curious, Xiaomao asked Nymph, “Did you expand the dungeon, munya?”

Nymph put on a pair of shorts and covered her upper part with a towel. She turned to the intersection area, “Oh, this?”

“Yes. I noticed that the dungeon now has an additional level.”

“Ah, we turned the front sanctuary into the fourth level. The front part of our place is now a part of your dungeon.”

“Err, why did you do that?”

“It’s about the mana water that your dungeon produced. We consulted this matter with other mermaids, and we discovered that your dungeon might cleanse our polluted lake if a partial section of our dungeons merged. So, there you have it. We merged a part of our dungeon together, so our dungeon’s lake now produces clean water for our mermen and mermaids.”

“Oh, nice.”

Xiaomao recalled the myth-grade chalice in his inventory. He wondered if it could upgrade the dungeon with its characteristics.

.

Holy Grail of Mao Miaomiao

This chalice was once the holy artifact of the Forbidden Forest, inherited by Mao Xueyan, the queen of beast tribes. Later on, Mao Xueyan offered the chalice to Mao Miaomiao in exchange for his protection.

Mao Miaomiao sacrificed his blood and Qi to activate the chalice. Afterward, the grail ceaselessly produced clear water, which contained Mao Miaomiao’s blood and Qi. Because of its unique trait and its usefulness, Mao Miaomiao used it to produce drinking water for the population of Siren City.

Beastmen and cultivators who drank the water from the grail soon found themselves getting stronger because of the residual Qi. All wounds and injuries were healed, and their cultivation bottlenecks were removed. Since then, everybody in Siren City nicknamed it the Holy Grail.

Item Type: Artifact, Continuous Effect, Boon

Item Restriction: None

Rarity: Myth

Cooldown: One Second

Effect (1): By keeping the item in your inventory, you will obtain the following effects;

– Obtain one cubic centimeter worth of Sacred Water every second. The water will be added to one of your available inventory slots until it reaches one cubic meter.

– If no inventory slot is available, all produced Sacred Water will be stored in a random container in your inventory slot.

– If no container is available, the produced water will be ejected from your body.

Effect (2): By placing the item near a water source, the artifact will produce double the amount of Sacred Water.

Effect (3): By placing the item next to the dungeon core with Chaos Seraphim OS, the Holy Grail of Mao Miaomiao will merge with the dungeon core, and the dungeon will be able to produce Sacred Water and construct a Sacred Water Shrine.

.

The item’s description clearly hinted that it was compatible with his dungeon core. Upon confirming the information, Xiaomao was relieved.

He brought out the chalice and showed it to Nymph.

“Let’s go to the dungeon core’s room. I’m going to merge this thing with my dungeon core and make a sacred water factory, munya!”

When Nymph saw the chalice, she dropped her jaw and fell to her knees.

“Where did you get that?!”

Xiaomao didn’t hide anything, “This is my family’s heirloom, munya. Do you know Mao Miaomiao? He’s my father.”

“!!!”

Nymph gasped in shock. Her pupils, iris, and sclera turned pitch black, inspecting Xiaomao carefully.

At that moment, Nymph finally realized that she couldn’t see through his karma or read his memory to confirm the information.

“X-Xiaomao. What did you do to your karma? Why can’t I see your karma threads?”

Xiaomao raised his chin, looking smug, “Worship me, you heathen. I’m the descendant of the Chaos Seraphim’s right-hand man!”

Nymph’s expression turned solemn. Her eyes reverted to normal, and she fell into deep thought.

While Nymph was lost in thought, another mermaid came out of the dungeon as she had detected the aura of a myth-grade artifact.

Xiaomao looked at the newcomer and recognized her.

Nameless Undine, Apostle of Chang’e, Level 3,500

He could finally see her name and title. Xiaomao was also glad that she was still around as he still needed to finish the faction quest.

“Welcome back, Xiaomao. I see that you’ve gotten a lot stronger since the last time we met.”

“Hello again, senior Undine. Umm, about my citizenship and class awakening…”

“I see. For now, let’s return to your dungeon core room and sort out things. Once we’re there, we’ll proceed with the class awakening ceremony.”

Undine bonked Nymph with huge lumber and pinched her ear, dragging her back to her post. Nymph cried in pain and flailed her arms around in protest.

While dragging Nymph away, Undine purposely slowed down to let Xiaomao follow her. The party accepted the gesture and followed Undine into the dungeon.

.

With Undine in the lead and Xiaomao’s status as the dungeon master, no mermaid harmed the party. They opened a path and saluted them.

However, Xiaomao was annoyed. The gender-swapped mermaids didn’t wear anything, and they walked around like it was a normal thing to do in public.

At this point, Shepherd and Magdalene were nowhere to be seen. Only Andrew, Peter, John, James, and Lucky were with Xiaomao.

Xiaomao looked back and didn’t find Shepherd. He asked Lucky.

“Lucky, where is Shepherd?”

Lucky shrugged, “Probably outside the dungeon, maybe.”

“Maybe, munya?”

.

Meanwhile, in the shallow sea, a certain fairy had been chasing someone while she was carrying a steel harpoon. 10 meters in front of Magdalene, Shepherd ran on top of the sea, fleeing from his fiancé.

He kept shaking his head to explain himself, but Magdalene’s yandere smile freaked him out.

<Magdalene orders you to stop so that she can remove your eyes. Then, she will put them in a jar next to her, and you will be looking at her instead of looking at another woman.>

“…”

Shepherd sweated profusely and silently ran for his life.
