Chapter 389: Desolation
Morrigan was having fun for the first time in a long time.
It wasn't every day that she got to wrap multiple higher-stage cultivation beings around her finger. She loved nothing more than seeing these arrogant children who called themselves cultivators reduced to despair, and there was nobody she wanted to see despair more in this lifetime than Vincent Nightrose.
So it was quite a surprise when a soul pressure she recognized to belong to Vincent showed up in her room. As the origin of the void, a being that was the manifestation of an affinity and had lived countless lives since the heavens created reality. Her attachment to anything was fleeting at best, including her pride.
Her void affinity is significantly suppressed in reality. Because of this, she had to listen to Vincent's orders despite the strength of her affinity. The gap between them was simply too huge, and she really hated dying and having to start over again as a baby. Void Qi was nearly impossible to cultivate without the assistance of arrays, so childhood was always rough.
Yet Vincent had come to her room with an adorable plan to turn her into one of his puppets. All she had to do to flip the script on him was lick his foot. She had almost burst out laughing at how easy the request had been. As a being who had been there since the birth of creation, she had done and seen everything there was to be experienced. She hadn't lied when she said she was willing to do anything. Besides, she had coated her tongue in void Qi, so she hadn't felt a thing.
With Vincent convinced of her soul-burning hatred for the Ashfallen Sect, Morrigan had flown over here with Vincent in tow and bumped into Stella, stepping out of the aether. Morrigan had to admit she was impressed with Stella's growth as a cultivator. The girl managed to remain stone-faced at her words regarding the fact that Vincent was listening.
"What do you mean he is listening?" Ashlock's voice echoed through the void, reaching her and Stella's ears.
"He came to Slymere in search of a puppet, and I offered myself up," Morrigan replied, ensuring both could hear as she spoke with void Qi to hide her words from Vincent's prying ears. "He's a cautious man, though, so he's invisible and floating outside the defensive void array you have set up."
"Vincent is here?" Ashlock sounded a little panicked. "Are you under his mind control?"
