Chapter 54: Demoness's Sinful Body and Heart of Saint
--- Chapter 53 ---
A week later.
After becoming the champion of the Blue Wind Empire's princess, Yu Long's schedule doesn't change much.
Every day, Yu Long would wake up in the Silver Moon Hotel's suite and relax while doing one or two casual experiments.
He hasn't completed his research in a 'profound way' yet.
The same goes for bloodlines and profound aspects.
When he discovered the Variant Bloodlines from his parents and grandparents, a new unorthodox field was opened for him.
Who would have thought he would find another unorthodox field when scanning Lan Shirou's illness?
The Blue Wind Empress, Lan Shirou, isn't a profound practitioner.
All she had was pure heart and the benevolence of a queen!
However, this is why she suffers so much.
Lan Shirou possessed a rare body like Xia Qingyue's mother. Although it was 'ultimately' weaker, it allowed Lan Xueruo to bore an innate ability.
The rare body is called Demoness's Sinful Body. And no, Yu Long didn't name it that way. He traced the origin of this rare body with the help of [Kaiju Maker].
Demoness's Sinful Body is a rare body that only appears in females. It caused the possessor of this physique to absorb the sins of others.
The more sin she absorbs, the more lifespans she loses.
No wonder Lan Shirou was very tormented and sick when talking to someone. Imagine siphoning another's sin into your body.
When the sin accumulates enough, the Demoness's Sinful Body will generate a powerful energy called Pure Force. And any descendent nourished with this energy will possess the Heart of Saint!
Aih, how poetic yet ironic.
She withstood a hundred thousand if not millions, of sins to birth a single Saint's Heart.
She named her daughter 'Xueruo' as a wish for her to stay as pure as white snow.
It's not a coincidence.
Fortunately, Lan Shirou met Yu Long at her very last moment. She might appear healthy, but her life force is like a dying spark of fire amidst sinful rainstorms.
To solve her problem, Yu Long has three possible ways.
First, create a light-based profound art that matches Demoness's Sinful Body and let Lan Shirou tame it herself.
Second, forcibly strip 'Demoness's Sinful Body' from her forever, but there is a 'huge' chance that she could lose her memory and even her life.
Lastly, modify 'Demoness's Sinful Body' to 'Demoness's Golden Body' with the help of [Kaiju Maker] and Yu Xin's variant blood. This method is the most 'extreme' because Lan Shirou's body will forever change.
Yes, with this method. Lan Shirou will become dependent on Yu Xin, possibly becoming her blood servant. It was 'normal' for the Devil's bloodline possessor.
After some time, Lan Shirou decided to take the third method.
She wasn't confident with her ability, so 1st method was a no.
The second method is even more ridiculous. Even if Lan Shirou lived, her memory would be gone forever.
The third method is the safest method despite the flaws.
Turning 'Demoness's Sinful Body' to 'Demoness's Golden Body' took two days, but Lan Shirou was 'finally' freed from her mysterious illness and curse.
Right now, Lan Shirou is as healthy as ever and even begins her profound way. Even though she is only at the 5th Level of Elementary Profound Realm, it was good enough for her to do it in a week.
The Demoness's Golden Body utilized the sin she absorbed throughout the week and turned it into Demonic Golden Light, which nurtured her body and cultivation. There is no 'negative' effect anymore.
"You will reach that realm eventually." Yu Long answered casually.
"Also, their cultivation base is sealed to make things fair."
"If this is a normal fight, Xia Qinyue would lose instantly."
"Eh, Senior Hong Guan, is that strong?" Cang Yue blinked her eyes in surprise.
Yu Long chuckled and returned, "Hong Guan is one of the earliest people I nurtured. She couldn't possibly be an ordinary person."
"But... Xia Qingyue is catching up at a fast pace."
"That girl is a monster talent."
"Big Brother, I heard that!" Xia Qingyue complained while waving her hand at him. She has a cute pout and puffed cheeks.
Yu Long smiled and sensed two presences coming to his location. They are Lily and Ling Ke.
"Young Master~!" Lily has a smile on her face.
"What's the matter?" Yu Long asked while rolling on his hammock.
Ling Ke giggled and stepped forward, "Do you remember the spoiled brat I bullied last week?"
"Hmm, that guy, huh?" Yu Long recalled Gui Hongwei, or something makes a commotion outside the Heavenly Gourmet Tower.
Ling Ke nodded and added, "He did his job perfectly and complained to his father. The bait has got eaten."
"A small elite army from the Sunflower Dew Empire is moving from the south border and advancing toward the Silver Lake City."
"They would arrive in three hours or so..."
"Wait, wait. Why did the Sunflower Dew Empire suddenly come to this conversation?" Cang Yue was bewildered.
"Also, an army? They stepped into the empire's territory with ill intention."
"Isn't this a declaration of war toward the Blue Wind Empire?"
"Pfft! HAHAHA~!" After hearing that, Lily laughed while slapping her knees.
"War? HOW FUNNY!"
Ling Ke smirked at Cang Yue, "Princess, it seems you haven't realized what kind of deal you made with our Lord Shadow..."
"A War? No, no, this is a one-sided massacre."
"Not for us, but for them!"
Yu Long yawned, "Let's have lunch first."
"Lunch is more important than those imbeciles."
"..." Cang Yue.
"What should I eat?" Yu Long said in deep thought.
"Steak sounds nice."
"Maybe a curry..."
Hello?
An army will come here in three hours, but you still have the mood to have lunch!
Soon, Cang Yue would discover that her champion was beyond her understanding.
