According to Elena, that bloodstained tricolor plant grows in the miasma valley at the edges of the forest of the end.

The bloodstained grass required harsh growing conditions, not only did it need the right temperature and minimal sunlight, but it also needed a certain amount of miasma.

Those kind of conditions were nightmarish to humans, so there were nowhere the grass grew other than at the forest of the end. Its uses were also limited and had little medicinal value, so not many people even knew about it.

Fortunately, the demon king knew.

“It can satisfy all of the requirements you had.”

“Great!”

“But Lin Xiao, I don’t get it, what are you planning to do with it?”

Based on what she knew of the plant, it wasn’t a fatal poison, nor a miracle cure, it was only a plant that caused a special reaction in people. Although Elena knew of his plan, she still couldn’t guess what he was planning to use it for.

“Some things are better left unknown… otherwise it won’t work when the time comes.”

“… Hmph, I want to see just want kind of plan it is!”

“Hehe, no rush. Based on my estimations, in about a month, we can start after we finish things… just wait.” Lin Xiao smiled and started planning.

Although he knew where the grass was, it was too far and he still had a lot of things left to do, so he couldn’t go personally and had to get someone to help. Other than him and Elena, there was no one else who knew the real usage of it, so even if he asked someone else he wouldn’t have to worry about his plan being exposed.

“I still might have to ask that tomboy…”

After thinking about it, Lin Xiao still felt like he couldn’t ask those unreliable mercenaries and had to ask someone he knew. In Gotham Kingdom, Claire was the best choice, and with her earnest character, he would feel reassured.

“So, are you going to look for Claire now?”

“No, before that, I still have something important to do.”

“Something important… what?”

“I’m going to find out the third apostle’s real identity and drag him out.”

“… Are you serious?”

“Of course.”

“Hm… okay.”

Elena opened her mouth slightly and wanted to say something but she stopped and swallowed her words again.

Lin Xiao’s tone was as normal, but his words were too crazy… Who did he take the third apostle for? He’s still one of the heads of the cult, please give him some respect. The third apostle was a strong black magician with many underlings, he was undoubtedly the most annoying opponent Lin Xiao has come across! With someone like that who has remained hidden for all these years, how could he be found that easily?

But… Elena was already used to listening to Lin Xiao’s absurd and arrogant words. Because he was Lin Xiao, no matter what he said, as long as he becomes serious, he can do it.

Elena thought about how much pleading, and forcing she had to do to finally drag Lin Xiao here to get him to help her, but he was still lacking motivation… but now?

Now Elena could only lament at the third apostle’s fate…

Sigh, third apostle, why did you have to go and do that? Just go off and do your own things, Lin Xiao wouldn’t have been bothered, why did you have to come and hurt his lover?

Friend, you messed with the one person you shouldn’t have messed with.

While Elena was lost in her thoughts, Lin Xiao was already walking out of the yard and she finally reacted and followed him.

“Hey, are you going right now?”

“Yeah… why, do you want to go with me?”

“I never said that… what does your revenge for ShenDai Ying have to do with me?”

“Hehe, right.” Lin Xiao didn’t mind and continued walking away while parting ways.

“Elena, stay here and help me take care of sister Ying. Don’t worry, I’ll personally get back at that bastard for her injuries!”

“… Hey, w-wait!”

Elena got anxious when she saw him leaving without any hesitation and ran up to block him.

“Elena?”

“Are you leaving just like that?”

“I already said goodbye.”

“Then…. are you really going alone?”

“What else, are you going to accompany me?”

“… It’s not like I can’t, if you beg me.”

“Hm?”

Lin Xiao didn’t understand at first, but when he took a close look he understood. She can never learn to be honest…

But even if he understood, he wouldn’t expose her and continued acting along. Since she wanted to go and was embarrassed to initiate then he would be the bigger person and ask her.

“Elena, you’re right! The third apostle is so strong and has a lot of forces under his command, what would happen if I was in danger alone?”

“Yes, he’s so cunning and hides in the dark, so no matter how strong you are, it’s better if you don’t go alone.” Elena nodded and added on.

Lin Xiao also nodded and continued fishing, “The third apostle also has the black core that can control someone, if I were controlled without anyone to help me, that would be bad!”

“Right! At that time I can at least help you to forcibly release you from the illusions.”

“Also, another important thing! Although I have a lot of magic power, when I run out, if I had a portable magic power bank beside me, then I would have no worries!”

“That’s right! Not only can I help you find enemies with my magic radar, my chest can also help you… help… peh! Damn pervert, don’t mention that again!”

Elena finally realized she fell into his trap again and blushed.

“Hehe, okay, okay… anyways, I can’t go along, so please come with Demon King!” Lin Xiao clasped his hands together and earnestly pleaded Elena.

Elena was satisfied, “Since you’re begging me like that, then I’ll reluctantly agree.”

“Manu thanks Demon King!”

And just like that the strongest duo was born! But not as some power couple, but an unrivaled magician finally finding his portable magic power bank!

“Right… Lin Xiao, have you ever thought about what would happen to you if you were infected?”

Elena casually asked while they were on their way.
