--- Chapter 275 ---

After discussing many things, Thalia cleaned up her place and put on her mask again. Of course, she didn't choose to disguise herself as 'Dante, the Demonic Weapon Blacksmith' anymore and turned into a more mature version of herself.

Her facial features became sharper, her hair turned black, and her body slimmed under the baggy purple robe. She showed enough curves to make one think she was charming.

Instantly, the daughter of the number one blacksmith in Yu Long's past life has become a young lady of an ancient clan.

Apparently, this was Thalia's disguise when she entered cultivation-type dimensions. She also adopted the character Tang Hye, a mysterious young demoness from an unkind family.

"The Mask of Proteus isn't a bad artifact at all." Yu Long commented while looking at Thalia from head to toe.

Thalia smiled, "It's my father's masterpiece, after all. Even the Olympus Gods wanted it."

"Unfortunately, I would never let them touch my father's works."

"Good, you're a filial child." Hearing her statement, Yu Long nodded in satisfaction.

Huan Caiyi watched their interaction with a faint smile. Seeing how calmly Yu Long talked with Thalia made her realize this monster of a man had a human side, too.

No, he was a human with a heart of gold before reincarnation. He saved a world and many lives inside it.

Even Huan Caiyi knew she wasn't able to achieve the same feat. It made Huan Caiyi admire Yu Long more.

That's right. In the past, Huan Caiyi saw Yu Long as an 'impressive' man, but now she found him very mesmerizing. He could do ordinary things like breathing, and she would still find him the most attractive man in the world.

Yes, she unknowingly has become obsessed with him. His charm has enamored her beyond one could describe.

Huan Caiyi sighed in her heart, 'I should thank the mysterious voice for helping me back then. Without the voice, I'm sure I can't even stand beside Yu Long.'

'Now I can't hear the mysterious voice anymore. Maybe It's just my imagination.'

Chu Yuechan glanced at Huan Caiyi, finding the Little Demon Empress's expression somewhat off. Then, she followed her gaze and realized what the former had been thinking.

Even though Chu Yuechan has a concerningly low EQ, she still understands the complicated feelings of a woman. She knew Huan Caiyi was thinking deeply about her situation with Yu Long.

Chu Yuechan had a similar experience and calmly said, "It's better if you don't bury it."

"Hmm?" Huan Caiyi tilted her head toward Chu Yuechan.

Chu Yuechan curved her lips, "I don't know how you see Yu Long, but he wasn't very active when chasing someone unless you let him to. You're a woman with many issues, and he has much more than that."

"Given our identities in this chaotic world, suppressing your feelings would only lead to a Heart Demon and frustration."

"And those will lead to a decline in your cultivation."

"That's why... Don't bury it. In fact, you should see and experience wonderful feelings."

Like Huan Caiyi, Chu Yuechan also told Yu Long she wanted to meditate and consolidate her sword intent more.

That left Yu Long with Tempest and Thalia.

Well, more like Yu Long and Thalia alone. The green bird is 'literally' eating to death with all the pampering the Imperial Demon Palace's servants gave her.

Yu Long couldn't blame Tempest for it. The servants served the best food one could get in the Illusory Demon Realm, and Huan Caiyi was nice enough to provide them all for free.

Watching the green bird devouring the table, Yu Long could only sigh and drag Thalia to the underground. He borrowed her pocket dimension and made a makeshift workshop that suited his taste.

Yu Long sat on a stone chair and commented, "So, I know you can turn my Essence Sphere into weapons. You have surpassed your father in this regard, but it's not enough."

"Yes. Godfather's Essence Sphere is too heaven-defying." Thalia replied with a weak smile. "Even with Hinokagutsuchi, I could only alter the Essence Sphere's properties and shape."

"In essence. I didn't turn it into a weapon at all."

Yu Long smiled, "Kaiju Maker's power is absolute. Not even Cosmic Storm could change it."

"However, your approach to the Demonic Weapon wasn't bad. It's just that your skill is green in this field."

"Mhm." Thalia acknowledged her weakness.

Yu Long brought a random Essence Sphere. It has no particular use, and the powers within it are weak.

He didn't need such a weak power, but it was good enough for Thalia's training.

He threw the Essence Sphere to Thalia, "Catch it."

Thalia caught the Essence Sphere, and her eyes widened slightly, "This is... Isn't this an Essence Sphere from an extinct race, Spiritual Beast?"

"Godfather, why did you give me such a precious thing?"

The Spiritual Beast is an animalistic race that can turn their bodies into weapons. This one, in particular, can turn its giant elephant body into a shield, which functions like a Spiritual Weapon.

Yu Long didn't need it because he had Manifestation Aspect extracted from the Yun Family's bloodline. The difference between the two is like that of sky and mud.

"It's nothing." Yu Long waved his hand, telling Thalia to take it. He can give her more later.

"Use that Essence Sphere as a test subject."

"Show me the best you could with it."

"I will give you guidance while you're doing it."

"Ah, I understand." Thalia's eyes lit up. Yu Long wanted to help her! With that in mind, she hurriedly activated her power, and a massive silhouette appeared behind her.

It was Hinokagutsuchi, the Shinto's God of Fire.

Yu Long stared at the fiery shadow, 'Hmm, I wonder if I can copy that with my Profound Incarnations. Theoretically, it's possible.'
