Ji Xiuning could feel the sharp fangs pressing against the skin on her neck.
She slowly closed her eyes!
She didn’t even make any threats, such as having self-destruct energy within their bloodline or brain domain, just quietly waiting for Lanling to drain and devour her.
However, Lanling didn’t continue but withdrew his fangs.
He doesn’t know if Ji Xiuning’s brain domain or bloodline really has self-destruct energy, which makes her unable to truly beco a death samurai.
But he dared not take the risk!
The precedent of Emperor Di Ming was there; Lanling drained and devoured him and injected the Golden Demon Bloodline into him.
Yet, it was to no avail.
Indeed, Lanling can control Emperor Di Ming’s life and death, but he can’t control his will at all, nor can he uncover the secrets within his brain domain.
The will domination of the Golden Demon Blood seems to have an upper limit.
Lanling had a strong premonition that draining and devouring Ji Xiuning would fail, so he gave up.
At this mont, Ji Xiuning was like a frozen lake, both ntally and physically.
Or rather, not frozen, but completely unmoving dead water.
Although this lake was as clear as a mirror, stunningly beautiful, it was still a pool of dead water, and Lanling first had to stir this pool of dead water to life.
And Ji Xiuning’s inner world was a void, empty, so he had to find sothing to fill it, whatever it might be, just fill it first.
"In the end, you still ruined ..." Ji Xiuning croaked, her voice was no longer a pool of dead water.
Lanling said, "Is there a second exit, there must be, right?"
Ji Xiuning said, "Is your shalessness this straightforward? After sleeping with , you directly ask this question, you sleep with won just for benefits."
"We Jianghu children don’t fuss over trivialities." Lanling said.
Ji Xiuning shook her head and said, "There’s really no second exit, let’s just stay here forever! You love playing this wild ga, I might gradually beco addicted to it, let’s play and sleep together forever! Soday when you’re tired of it, just kill or bite , it’s all fine!"
Lanling sighed softly, closed his eyes, and lay there motionless.
The two rarely talked, but every now and then Lanling would ask, "There must be a second exit to this secret laboratory, right?"
At first, Ji Xiuning calmly replied, no.
Later, Ji Xiuning smiled and replied no.
Then later, Ji Xiuning no longer answered but shook her head.
...
Lanling asked, "Is there a second energy exit in this secret laboratory?"
Ji Xiuning didn’t answer.
"I don’t want to leave!" Ji Xiuning said.
"Outside, there’s your son..." Lanling said.
Ji Xiuning said, "He’ll be fine in your Fla Demon City, and this secret laboratory itself is a large Heaven Tomb, ti stands still, and nothing outside has changed. I just want this stillness, and whenever I’m tired of it, I’ll just die."
Lanling said, "Relatively speaking, how long have we been in here?"
"Don’t know!" Ji Xiuning said.
"More than a year..." Lanling said.
Ji Xiuning sucked on Lanling’s lips, "Being with , does every day feel like a year?"
"More or less..." Lanling said.
Ji Xiuning calmly said, "I don’t want to go out, I know you have your mission, but I don’t want to go out."
...
Thus, the two stayed in this Heaven Tomb-like secret laboratory for a long ti.
Maybe it was several more months, perhaps another year.
Every now and then, Lanling would still ask if there was a second exit and where it was.
Ji Xiuning no longer answered, neither shaking her head nor nodding.
Then, like she was drunk, she said, "Dear, kill , and I’ll tell you the exit."
Lanling was stunned.
Ji Xiuning said, "I’m serious, you might still have an unfinished mission once you get out. However, it’s aningless for to go out."
Ji Xiuning sat up, staring at Lanling, "Dear, I’m serious, kill , and I’ll tell you the exit so you can go out alone, complete your mission, and take care of my son as well. I don’t want to leave because there’s simply no point for to go out or to live."
Lanling gazed quietly at Ji Xiuning.
He didn’t make a move, not entirely because he couldn’t bring himself to.
Lanling said, "Ji Xiuning, what do you think I am going out to do?"
"To unify the entire Southern Barbaric Lands, establish the Demon Empire, then head north to attack the Human Kingdom and destroy the whole world," Ji Xiuning replied, "Otherwise, how can you be called the World-Ending Demon Emperor?"
Lanling nodded and said, "You’re right. I want to beco the World-Ending Demon Emperor, to destroy the current Human Kingdom, to destroy the Dragon Temple. But ultimately... I want to liberate the entire Human Kingdom, liberate the whole world, and rebuild the Dragon Temple to return it to its rightful nature!"
"Its rightful nature? What nature?" Ji Xiuning asked.
"To enlighten all people, to save all living beings," Lanling replied, "And you, the benevolent Grand Princess, Sacred Maiden of the Dragon Temple, are just perfect to be the leader of the future New Sky Holy Temple!"
"Benevolence?!" Ji Xiuning couldn’t help but let out a sardonic laugh, "Are you mocking ? You should know best what my benevolence ans."
Lanling said, "The current decadent Dragon Temple may have abandoned you, but the brand new Dragon Temple has not. You are still the Sacred Maiden of the New Dragon Temple. I firmly believe there are many truly bright-hearted individuals within the Dragon Temple, like ntor Byron, like ntor Tuya. The Dragon Temple also possesses the greatest literary masters, art masters; they are all noble people. Once the dark and decadent Dragon Temple is destroyed, they should be preserved as the essence of world civilization, to establish a new bright and just Dragon Temple."
Ji Xiuning looked at Lanling and said, "A bright and just Dragon Temple, this phrase coming from your mouth sounds particularly ridiculous. Also, don’t think you can deceive . The so-called New Dragon Temple is just your excuse; you want to go out with you just to use to attack the Dragon Temple, to get many secrets of the Dragon Temple from ."
Lanling’s expression beca serious and earnest, and he said, "Ji Xiuning, I’m serious about the New Dragon Temple and you being the Sacred Maiden of the New Dragon Temple!"
Ji Xiuning said, "You say I am, then do I beco it? Who acknowledges it?"
Lanling replied, "I said I was the Emperor of the Fla Demon Empire. At first, no one acknowledged it, but gradually, so did. If others don’t acknowledge it, force them to until they do; it’s that simple."
"You remain loyal to the Dragon Temple, but not the dark and decadent Dragon Temple, rather the future bright Dragon Temple. You should dedicate your life to this great and noble goal," Lanling said.
"Don’t try to brainwash ," Ji Xiuning said.
Ji Xiuning looked at Lanling for a mont and said, "I’ll go out! But with one condition!"
"Speak!" Lanling said.
Ji Xiuning replied, "Once we go out, we both must maintain purity, can’t engage in such illicit relationships anymore!"
Lanling looked speechless at this woman, are you truly crazy or just pretending?
Illicit relationships? Is this living in so dogmatically harsh society?
Ji Xiuning said, "I know, the so-called Sacred Maiden of the New Dragon Temple you speak of is rely to deceive . But since I’ve accepted this title, I must take it seriously, remain pure, and truly dedicate myself to this New Dragon Temple."
Lanling was at a loss for words, and after quite a while, he finally said, "In so world, even a courtesan can beco a Sacred Maiden."
"I believe it, because how can one be sanctified without first being tainted? But I just ask, does she still entertain guests after becoming the Sacred Maiden?" Ji Xiuning asked.
Lanling was rendered speechless again.
"So, you’re saying once we go out, you’ll draw a line with ?" Lanling asked.
"Only physically drawing a line, no more illicit relationships," Ji Xiuning said, "If I am to live for being the Sacred Maiden of the New Dragon Temple, I must take it seriously."
Lanling said, "Anyways, while inside here ti is suspended, why not wait a couple of days before going out? Seize the last chance for revelry and depravity?"
Imdiately, Ji Xiuning’s breath beca rapid, her face flushed, her beautiful eyes restless.
Then, she shook her head and said, "No, from the mont I agreed with you, from the mont I decided to barely survive, I must remain pure, beco the Sacred Maiden you spoke of."
Lanling sighed, "The most powerful brainwashing in this world is when one brainwashes oneself."
"Feel free to mock ," Ji Xiuning said, "Because I lack the confidence to barely survive, I must demand this of myself, increase a certain sense of ritual, and eventually, I’ll take being the Sacred Maiden of the New Dragon Temple seriously."
Finally, she silently recited so incredibly complex incantation, then released energy, drawing a complicated three-dinsional pattern in the air.
For these patterns, she even bit open her finger, mixing blood with the energy to create the artwork in the air.
Once completed, it imdiately unfolded and projected onto the energy wall on the left.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, this energy wall began to collapse, began to broadcast, forming a brand new energy channel.
Lanling packed all the Bright Crystal Stones, after hesitating a bit, packed all the Crystal Stones, carrying tens of thousands of pounds of goods.
He instinctively reached out to Ji Xiuning, but rembering her words, quickly pulled back.
Nonetheless, Ji Xiuning grasped his hand, and the two walked into this energy channel.
"Whosh..."
It was like a traversal through ti and space.
Lanling’s mind fell into a montary blank.
He didn’t know how much ti had passed, but he and Ji Xiuning left the secret laboratory, appearing in a strange sea.
Looking up at the sky, the sun had only slightly shifted, the clouds still looked the sa.
In the secret laboratory, Lanling and Ji Xiuning had ssed around for almost two to three years, yet outside, ti remained still.
The reason the sun and clouds have moved is due to Lanling previously following Ji Xiuning to dive into the seabed fissure, spending half an hour.
"This is the corresponding sea to the Monster Territory, closer to your Fla Demon Empire," Ji Xiuning said, "I believe soon, you can return."
Lanling closed his eyes, orienting himself according to the energy aura, found the direction to the Fla Demon Empire, then the two subrged in the water towards the Fla Demon Empire.
