Chapter 285: The Thirteenth Drop of God’s Blood
Although Lady Chen Xi didn’t find the treasure, she wasn’t disappointed. She released her embrace on her friend and looked towards Adele and Dorothy. “It’s alright now. Congratulations, your Secret Realm trial is over.”
Dorothy and Adele looked at each other, surprise and joy in their eyes. It... was over just like that? Adele had had enough of this place. And because of Kaiser, Dorothy had gone berserk... Adele still felt a little guilty about that. Fortunately, Dorothy didn’t really blame her. Otherwise, Adele would be devastated.
“Then... that Senior Sheena, Lady Chen Xi, you will bring her back to Twilight City for a proper burial, right?” Adele asked with concern.
Hearing this, Lady Chen Xi’s gaze softened.
It was probably because she felt the girl’s kindness. However, she would never have guessed the reason why Adele asked this... It was because Adele really thought that it was True Ancestor Sheena who had blessed her and Dorothy in the dark, leading to Lady Chen Xi’s arrival. But in reality... perhaps she should be thanking Azathoth.
If Azathoth hadn’t found this well-hidden sacred ground, Lady Chen Xi wouldn’t have been able to follow the magic mark she had given and venture into this place. However, judging from the current situation, perhaps her and the other True Ancestors’ worries were unnecessary. There was no longer any treasure left by the gods here.
“I will.” Lady Chen Xi said with a slight smile. Her face, quite similar to Edith’s but more mature and intellectual, made Adele stare blankly. The next moment, Lady Chen Xi opened a portal made of pure magic power for them. Adele and Dorothy held hands, took a deep breath, and walked through.
When they arrived in the underground palace outside, they found it was already filled with young Bloodkin participating in the Blood Trial. Including Celeste, Hermione, and the others, who had been sent back by Lady Chen Xi earlier.
Adele pretended to be calm, not letting anyone notice anything unusual. It had to be said, she did a great job.
Even Lady Chen Xi was fooled, thinking she was just nervous and timid from entering the sacred ground. But in reality... ahem, the girl’s fear was real! But it was also a necessary disguise. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be easy for Adele to successfully bring Xiao Ai, the blood droplet, out of the Secret Realm. But then again, Xiao Ai should have the natural ability to conceal her aura, right? Otherwise, Adele couldn’t understand why Lady Chen Xi, a True Ancestor, couldn’t detect her presence at all.
