Bai Lung's eyes flashed dangerously, reflecting the sharpness of the swords above them.
His grip on Alina tightened momentarily before releasing her arm with a dismissive snort.
" I see," he growled,
" But remember this, I am doing you a favor by agreeing to your terms, feel honored, "
His words dripped with condescension as he turned away from her and started walking in the direction she indicated earlier.
[ A/N: He is technically flying since there is no land below him ]
Despite his reluctance, curiosity gnawed at him regarding this Holy Child who commanded such devotion from its followers.
Meanwhile,
Alina silently followed behind him cautiously, trying not to draw attention to herself amidst the tension that hung heavily in the air around them.
Just looking down at her feet makes her body shudder in fear, this guy was truly a monster.
Snap!
As Bai Lung flew away, he snapped his finger and recreated the land back at just the cheap price of 1 point.
[ Ding! The host has used 1 point to restore the balance of the earth and repair the land ]
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
As they walked deeper into silent and creepy territory, she couldn't help but wonder if bringing Bai Lung along was truly worth risking everything for... including her own life.
---
As they arrived at the location and began to ventured further into the dense forest of west woods, Bai Lung's keen senses picked up on every rustle and snap of twigs beneath their feet.
" So... " he began casually, breaking the silence that had settled between them like a heavy fog.
It felt like two introverts were placed together while they shared no similar interests.
" Tell me more about this Holy Child..." Bai Lung asked her while looking at her with his sharp cold eyes their Peirce her soul.
Alina hesitated for a moment before responding, unsure if it was wise to reveal too much information about their leader.
" umm... He also doesn't get out of his boundary, I heard, if he gets out of his palace, he falls weak, " she added with a quivering voice.
" Oh! " suddenly Bai Lung's eyes began to gleam with menacing red light.
This feels like an invincible domain protagonist.
But is he really a protagonist? After all, his disciple had multiple husbands, is he a cuck fetish protagonist? Or some kind of ligma protagonist?
Not judging but, that guy seems like a dumb fuck. But, hey! He do he.
[ Ding! Would you like to use 10,000 points to get his information? ]
Hearing the voice in his head, Bai Lung shook his head. ' Meh! I am going to meet him soon, so, there is no point,'
As they delved deeper into the heart of the west wood forest, Alina couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen.
The air grew thicker with each step they took, making it harder to breathe.
Her ears were ringing with sharp tingggg noises.
Bai Lung seemed oblivious to her unease as he continued striding forward confidently.
Very soon, he arrived at the area where he could sense a strange space aura.
" This must be it... " Bai Lung said while he touched the space.
Under his touch space slowly began to melt like plastic and flow like water, it seemed there was another hidden space right beneath it.
A hidden space?
No! It seems like there is a string illusion here while the real deal is hidden with an invisible array.
The tall trees in front of him are all fake which is an illusionary space created to hide the hideout of Holy Child.
"Interesting! " Bai Lung said and the next moment, he punched the space.
The space instantly shattered breaking the illusion.
And the real hideout of the holy child was revealed.
" ah? " seeing this, Alina was shocked, she had always thought without the permission of a holy child one couldn't meet him but, who was this man?
He just shattered the space.
Her uneasiness began to increase.
