Chapter 141: You Have Really Changed, BaiShe...
The golden blood of the Demigod assassinated by Yi Lan was still smoking on the basaltic ground, releasing an odor of corrupted divinity. In her left hand, the Fox of Desire clutched the World Seed, that translucent crystal sphere that seemed to contain a miniature galaxy.
Her pink and vaporous Qi coiled around the relic. She turned toward Xuan BaiShe, superbly ignoring the six other Ancestors of the Azure Kingdom who were screaming their rage a few meters away. Her pink sapphire eyes, now tinged with a deep purple, saw only her darling.
"Darling..." she murmured with a softness that violently contrasted with the surrounding charnel house. "Take your treasure."
With a fluid gesture, she threw the World Seed toward BaiShe. The young master extended his hand and seized the object. Instantly, he felt his Omega Heart leap in his chest. The resonance between his Devourer Physique and the original energy of the seed was so powerful that it nearly broke his mask of serenity. However, he adjusted his sage monocle, observing Yi Lan with icy lucidity.
The remaining Ancestors, led by Lord Wu, did not waste another moment. Their dantians hummed like distant storms. They understood that they had been infiltrated and humiliated. Consequently, the air around them began to liquefy under the pressure of seven Demigod-level domains activating simultaneously.
"Fox vermin!" roared Lord Wu. "Do you think this little sleight of hand will save you? You will die in atrocious suffering, and your master will devour his own entrails before we are done with him!"
Yi Lan let out a childish laugh, while her nine pink tails unfurled behind her, saturating the atmosphere with a scent of peach blossoms and lust. She moved closer to BaiShe, her opulent bust brushing against his arm.
"Darling..." she began, her expression suddenly becoming lucid and serious. "These old men are too numerous. Even if I am a creature of the Origins, this lower realm limits my power. Seven Demigods prepared to die for their relic..."
She took a step forward, interposing herself between BaiShe and the azure tide about to surge. Her Qi suddenly changed frequency, becoming unstable and sharp.
"Leave, darling..." she ordered without turning around. "Go stabilize your inner world with this seed. I will take care of these wastes. I will lock them up with me..."
