The longest chapter till now :3 Enjoy...
----------
"Hehe, hehehe~ Control over the underground city... That old man actually handed it over to you?! And kept it hidden from ? I’ve been loyal to that old man for so long, and yet he treats like an outsider…"
Her laughter gradually took on a hint of madness.
However, Lisa quickly composed herself, the gentle façade once again adorning her face.
Releasing Liya, she gently stroked the girl’s head, smiling at the pink-haired girl:
"My good daughter, I know you were deceived by that cunning girl ngxi. It’s normal for soone as innocent and kind as you to be fooled. But don’t worry, as long as... as long as you lift this prohibition, I won’t bla you. I believe you’re an obedient child and will listen, right? My little Liya?"
Lisa whispered softly.
Her tone was gentle, yet it was undeniably domineering and filled with a thick undertone of threat.
Liya’s indecisiveness was well-known; even if she went against her commands unprecedentedly, she would inevitably revert to the obedient puppet she used to be in her presence. Madam Lisa was quite confident in this.
"Just lift the prohibition obediently and let capture the Girl of Destiny. Afterward, you will still be my good girl. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Hearing the word "consequences," Liya’s body visibly shuddered, and tears began to well up in her black and gold eyes.
The girl nodded timidly,
And then, As Madam Lisa expected, Liya slowly raised her hand, opening her fingers towards the entrance of the underground city. As Liya’s magical power surged, the invisible prohibition began to emit waves of energy, seemingly about to collapse...
"Yes, just like that~"
Madam Lisa laughed softly, pleased, her gaze greedily locked onto ngxi.
Seeing this, even ngxi herself felt a wave of despair.
However, Just as ngxi was about to give up all hope, she suddenly noticed sothing unusual. The stairs under her feet began to tremble?!
"What’s this?"
"Huh?!"
Not only did ngxi notice this, but Madam Lisa, who was smirking, also sensed the anomaly, a bad feeling instantly forming in her mind.
"What are you doing?! Liya!!!!"
In the next mont, Madam Lisa looked at her daughter, who always nodded in agreent, with an angry and incredulous gaze.
At this mont, fear and despair vanished from Liya’s eyes, leaving only a tragic determination. Looking straight at ngxi, Liya scread regardless of the consequences:
"Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
With her words, the strength of the underground city’s prohibition suddenly intensified several tis! The entire staircase quickly deford, as if the whole underground palace was reorganizing itself...
Seeing this, Madam Lisa showed a panicked expression, which was mixed with extre anger. After a mont of shock, surrounded by a dark aura, Madam Lisa suddenly grabbed Liya by the neck and slamd her against a mural behind:
"Stop now! I command you, stop now!"
However, facing Madam Lisa’s witch-like screeching and the suffocating pressure, Liya did not compromise but mustered the courage to mockingly smile at her mother.
Although her throat was destroyed by Lisa and she couldn’t speak, Liya still managed to say one word through lip reading to her mother.
-"Go away!"-
...
"LIYAAAAA!"
Watching the pink-haired girl cough up blood while giving her an encouraging look, ngxi couldn’t help but cry out desperately. How could she not understand her friend’s intention at this mont?
Before she could say anything,
The levitating stairs, along with the reorganizing underground city, quickly carried her towards the depths below.
Quickly, the screaming Madam Lisa and the struggling Liya gradually disappeared from ngxi’s view. The silver-haired girl slumped weakly on the stairs, her mind in turmoil, tears uncontrollably falling from her eyes...
Defying Madam Lisa’s will to send herself away, ngxi already had a rough guess about what awaited Liya.
A strong sense of powerlessness overwheld ngxi like a torrential river.
But quickly, the silver-haired girl took a deep breath and rallied her spirits.
If she didn’t seize the escape opportunity that Liya had sacrificed so much to create, it would be a betrayal of her friend’s intentions.
Thinking this, ngxi composed herself, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and set her determined gaze towards the depths of the underground city...
"Goodbye, Liya…"
.....
It seed that due to Liya’s consciousness being eroded by Madam Lisa, the moving staircase, which was supposed to directly transport ngxi to the front of the teleportation circle, abruptly halted mid-air. The entire underground city entered a state of chaotic standstill. Not only was it indistinguishable from a maze, but it also contained countless terrifying traps and golem guards.
Normally, navigating through this labyrinth to find the spatial circle would be as difficult for ngxi as ascending to the heavens.
Madam Lisa, observing from outside the underground city, judged it the sa way.
However,
The sorrow from Liya’s self-sacrifice and the endless anxiety brought on by Madam Lisa’s pursuit stimulated ngxi’s soul greatly. Under this intense stimulation, the long-dormant Little Sakura within ngxi’s soul finally awakened. As the Girl of Destiny, ngxi officially accessed her first "cheat"
With Little Sakura’s assistance, the underground city maze beca virtually non-existent, and all the terrifying traps and golem guards were perfectly evaded by ngxi.
Eventually,
As Madam Lisa took control of Liya’s brain and forcibly seized control of the underground city, ngxi managed to use the teleportation circle to reach the Ancita continent. The cooked duck had flown away, and one could only imagine the rage in Madam Lisa’s heart. After temporarily repelling the fearso Inferno Demon King, Madam Lisa dispatched nearly all the mobile execution teams within Sky City to search for ngxi on the continent.
However, searching at that point was like looking for a needle in a haystack. After days of searching, there was still no sign of ngxi. Frustrated, Madam Lisa personally killed several maids and guards who had failed their duties, staining much of the main city in blood red…
And ngxi?
She had already followed the original plan, hiding her characteristic silver hair and purple eyes, and hurriedly made her way to the Red Leaf Empire… a region where Sky City dared not act recklessly.
Subsequently,
While ngxi was resting in a small village, she encountered Bai Yanluo of the Sunlight unit.
Thus, ngxi’s journey of escape officially ended, and she was taken back to Asumos Church by Bai.
Upon learning that ngxi was under the protection of Asumos Church, Madam Lisa had no choice but to suppress her greed forcefully.
Although Sky City was undoubtedly a top-tier power, she did not have the courage to directly confront the Church.
After arriving at Asumos Church, ngxi tried to use the church’s resources to inquire about the internal situation of Sky City.
Unfortunately, due to Sky City’s characteristics of being isolated from the world, even Asumos Church could not obtain the information ngxi wanted.
What happened to Liya afterward?
This question unintentionally beca a hurdle in ngxi’s heart.
Although ngxi had already made a rough judgnt about Liya’s fate,
Deep down, she still harbored a sliver of hope…
Regrettably today, while greeting guests from Sky City, this last flicker of hope was ruthlessly extinguished by the harsh reality before her eyes…
-——
At this mont,
Watching the bizarre girl with light pink long hair in front of her, ngxi’s eyes inadvertently revealed a mix of complex emotions.
Undoubtedly,
The girl appearing in front of ngxi and several mbers of Asumos Church was her friend Liya, whom she hadn’t seen for three years.
Truthfully,
The mont ngxi saw this pink-haired girl, her heart was filled with joy. How could she not be thrilled to reunite with her first friend in this world after such a long ti? But despite the excitent, ngxi still maintained ample rationality.
After a brief surge of emotion, ngxi noticed sothing was amiss.
The pink-haired girl in front of her, although identical to the Liya in her mory, had a completely different dress and aura. Liya was an innocent and lively girl, far from the heavily made-up and luxuriously adorned figure before her. Moreover, Liya exuded a sunny and radiant atmosphere, not the gloomy and enchanting vibe of the woman before her.
In ngxi’s mory, only one person had these characteristics.
The tone of the pink-haired girl and the ominous power she emitted further confird ngxi’s suspicion.
’ Lisa...’
The pink-haired girl before her, bearing Liya’s appearance, was the nightmarish presence of Madam Lisa.
Realizing this, ngxi couldn’t help but bitterly smile to herself.
’So, it’s like this...’
By that ti, the other ladies had already been consud by Lisa, and she herself had already escaped from Sky City. The only one left for Madam Lisa to inhabit was Liya. After all, Madam Lisa’s purpose in raising daughters was to acquire younger and more vibrant bodies.
Having already seized Liya’s sister’s body, how could Lisa let go of Liya? Especially since Liya had defied her, being the ’chief culprit’ in letting ngxi escape.
Although ngxi had anticipated that Liya’s body would be possessed by Madam Lisa, when the fact of Liya’s demise was confird right before her eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a wave of loss. Her hatred for Madam Lisa surged uncontrollably.
However,
ngxi was a person with a broader perspective; she couldn’t afford to confront Lisa and Sky City at this mont.
Thus, ngxi stepped forward to stop Bai Yanluo from making a move and walked slowly towards the pink-haired girl, respectfully greeting her:
"Welco to Asumos Church, esteed guest from Sky City, Lady Lisa…"
’?!!’
’She is the ruler of Sky City?!!’
Hearing ngxi’s words, both Bai Yanluo and the mbers of the Sunlight unit couldn’t help but show a look of astonishnt. It seed completely unexpected that a leading figure of a top power would be a girl dressed so provocatively.
However, even knowing that the person was the ruler of Sky City and a distinguished guest visiting the church, Bai Yanluo and the Asumos Church knights still had no intention of sheathing their swords. Instead, they kept a wary eye on Madam Lisa.
Because, at this mont, Madam Lisa, after clearly seeing ngxi’s appearance, was consud with excitent and began stepping towards ngxi...
The greed and voracity in her eyes were unmistakable.
ngxi, being their Girl of Destiny and the esteed Saintess, how could the church knights allow Madam Lisa, harboring ill intentions, to get close to her?
"Stop! Don’t overstep your bounds!"
Ignoring ngxi’s directive, Bai Yanluo directly stepped forward to block Madam Lisa. The church knights also cooperated, drawing their weapons and surrounding the pink-haired woman.
"Hmm?!"
Seeing soone obstructing her, Madam Lisa felt imnsely displeased.
What irritated her even more was that there were knights daring to point their swords at her?
’These lowly monkeys on the ground, how dare they be so arrogant Infront of ?!’
A cold chill suddenly erged around Madam Lisa, her black and gold eyes instantly emitting a terrifying cold light:
"I rely wished to reminisce with Miss Saintess, and you servants dare to obstruct ?"
As her words fell, the pink-haired woman’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and a torrential pressure instantly surged from Madam Lisa, striking in all directions. The overwhelming wave of air force made the church knights stagger back, struggling to stabilize themselves after a long while. Bai Yanluo, however, managed to hold her ground due to her formidable strength.
But she and all the welcoming personnel, after feeling this breath, all showed astonished expressions.
Especially ngxi, after sensing this powerful aura, couldn’t help but look serious.
’This old witch?’
’She has reached the peak of the eighth level!!’
’Just a few years ago, she was only at the mid-eighth level, how could she have improved so quickly?’
While ngxi was shocked by Madam Lisa’s rapid increase in strength, the latter had already pushed aside Bai Yanluo and, under the watchful eyes of many, stood before ngxi. Not only that, but with a hint of playfulness, Madam Lisa placed her hands behind her back, slowly bent over, and brought her face close to ngxi’s.
With a provocative tone, she said:
"My good daughter, seeing the face of a familiar friend, how is it? Are you not pleased? Ah, no, no~ how can we say pleased? ’Guilty’ should be the word~ after all... if you hadn’t run away back then, your friend wouldn’t have ended up in such a state~"
