Chapter 426 Ch 426: Bai Lushi
The location of the Three Realm Empire wasn't difficult to obtain. Anyone with even a modest understanding of the Land of Celestial Glory could tell him its whereabouts.
The most challenging aspect was acquiring information about Divine Craftsman Feng Zhiling and determining his hiding place.
Based on inquiries Ling Xiaolong made, only the Emperor Flame Sect possessed such classified information, and only they could provide the necessary details.
"So, I have to visit the Emperor Flame Sect first," Ling Xiaolong asked around. Knowing the location of the Emperor Flame Sect, he was ready to go there.
However, at this time, someone suddenly came rushing and hugged him tightly.
"XIAOLONG!"
It was an extremely beautiful girl. She not only hugged him tightly but also called out his name with deep emotion.
For some reason, Ling Xiaolong's body trembled. He clearly had no idea who this girl was, however, he could not help but raise his hands and wrap them around her waist, responding to her tight hug with his, as if they were lovers and were meeting after a very long separation.
Ling Xiaolong came back to his senses only after a few minutes of long hug.
He started wondering about his own response to this girl. Why did he hug her?
Just as he was about to inquire about her identity, she hastily withdrew and shook her head, saying, "No, you are him but not entirely him. You must be the other self that he mentioned before disappearing a million years ago."
As it turned out, several eras in the incomplete chaos were only a million years into the true chaos.
Ling Xiaolong at that instant knew that this girl must be related to Ling Xiaolong #1 in some way.
Now that he looked at her, her presence was a captivating blend of ethereal beauty and magnetic charm. Cascading like a waterfall of sapphires, her azure hair framed her delicate features, each strand capturing the essence of her beauty. The radiant hue added an otherworldly allure to her appearance.
Her eyes, however, were the true jewels of her countenance. They were like a shining pair of amber gemstones, holding within them a mesmerizing depth. Like two pools of liquid gold, her gaze was both warm and enigmatic, reflecting a wisdom far beyond her years.
Her delicate face bore the soft blush of a budding rose. Her skin was as smooth as a porcelain doll. When she smiled, it was as if flowers bloomed around the world. It was very mesmerizing.
In the presence of this incredibly charming girl, one couldn't help but feel a magnetic pull, an irresistible attraction to the beauty that seemed to transcend the boundaries of the ordinary. She was like a living portrait of elegance.
Her strength was not low, she was already a Level 3 Master of Chaos. However, something seems to be very wrong about her cultivation. Ling Xiaolong felt as if her cultivation was there, but at the same time, it was not.
He could not help but frown.
As if the beautiful girl had perceived his thoughts, she spoke, "As you can see, I'm indeed a Level 3 Master of Chaos. Unfortunately, it is only on the surface. The current me could not even muster the strength of a Level 1 Master of Chaos. That damn old man used the Twin-headed Nether Python's Blood Essence on me, rendering me helpless all these years. By weakening my strength, he was able to imprison me in the Emperor Flame Palace. That was not all; two Level 6 Masters of Chaos were put there to guard the prison where I was confined."
"Fortunately, news of your appearance reached the ears of every Master of Chaos. This information caused a huge sensation, stirring everyone and providing me with an opportunity to escape."
As she spoke, she could not help but recall the last million years she was trapped in the prison located inside the Emperor Flame Palace. She instinctively clenched her fist and fury reflected in her eyes.
On the other hand, Ling Xiaolong was confused.
Emperor Flame Palace?
Why does it sound more like Emperor Flame Sect?
What is the relation between the two?
Then there's the Twin-headed Nether Python. Could it be possible that its blood essence can be utilized to suppress the strength of a Master of Chaos?
Ling Xiaolong could not help but wonder.
"They are here!"
Before Ling Xiaolong could ask, the beautiful lady frowned and looked in a certain direction.
"Who are here?"
Ling Xiaolong frowned. This beautiful lady's reaction made him realize that she was being chased by someone.
"I'll tell you later. First, let's run. We have to escape as far as possible."
The beautiful lady spoke as she grabbed Ling Xiaolong's hand and was about to run, but was stopped by Ling Xiaolong.
She had an anxious expression. She was about to say something, but Ling Xiaolong suddenly took action. He grabbed her shoulder and disappeared, reappearing more than a million miles away.
Surveying their surroundings, both of them discovered they were in a different city. This occurrence was purely coincidental. Typically, random teleportations would lead Ling Xiaolong to forests, mountain ranges, or similar locations.
"This is... Blazing Heaven City!"
Recognizing their location, the beautiful girl gazed at Ling Xiaolong in astonishment. When she regained her composure, she mumbled, "No wonder YOU mentioned that when you return, you'll be an upgraded version of yourself."
Ling Xiaolong frowned but didn't say anything. He could understand what she meant.
.....
Half an hour later, both of them could be seen on the top floor of a restaurant.
Currently, Ling Xiaolong was observing the beautiful lady devouring tasty food one after another. He was astonished at the speed she was eating, behaving as if she had not eaten for a very long time.
However, although she could not use her cultivation, she was still a Master of Chaos. A Master of Chaos doesn't need to eat food. In fact, even a Being of Chaos doesn't need food to continue functioning.
It was clear that this lady was eating just because she wanted to. There was not really any need to eat food.
After a while, when she was satisfied enough, she finally stopped eating and looked at Ling Xiaolong, saying, "Since you are not him, you must be wondering about me."
As she spoke, her amber eyes gleamed, and a sly smile played on her face. She said, "My name is Bai Lushi, and I'm your wife—
future one."
Ling Xiaolong was stunned. He couldn't help but cast a deep glance at Bai Lushi. He wanted to see whether she was lying to him or not.
However, he was unable to determine the truth of this matter.
"What? You don't believe me?" Bai Lushi pretended to be angry and portrayed a fierce expression on her face. However, her expression instead increased her charm, causing Ling Xiaolong to be stunned slightly.
He then shook his head and laughed at himself.
It turned out that even after living for so many years, he could still be charmed by a beautiful woman.
"What are you laughing about?" Bai Lushi asked with curiosity.
Shaking his head, he said, "It is nothing."
Ling Xiaolong's expression turned into that of longing. He continued, "I'm not saying that I don't believe you. What you said might be true because when you hugged me previously, I suddenly felt an emotion that I had long forgotten about. I also felt a deep connection with you. It is very clear that, although I'm not aware, my consciousness is reacting to you."
The smile on Bai Lushi's face became bigger when she heard Ling Xiaolong's words. She nodded and was about to speak but was interrupted by Ling Xiaolong's question, "What exactly happened? Why were you imprisoned? Who imprisoned you?"
Bai Lushi's face stiffened when she was suddenly reminded of those bastards. She gritted her teeth and said, "It was the old man from the Emperor Flame Sect, your enemy."
"My enemy?" Ling Xiaolong was startled.
Bai Lushi nodded, speaking, "Shortly after you entered the Mystic Realm and sealed it with the Nine Layers Boundary Formation, the Emperor Flame Sect targeted me. They knew if you have a weakness, then it is me. I am your sole vulnerability. Anticipating that when you emerge from the Mystic Realm, you will seek me out, several Masters of Chaos from the Emperor Flame Sect besieged and captured me. They knew, with me in their hands, they could easily kill or manipulate you at will."
"Their hatred for you runs deep after all. You've killed the eldest son of Crimson Fury Emperor, the leader of the Emperor Flame Sect. Crimson Fury Emperor's son was a Level 1 Master of Chaos and his successor."
How could he let go of an opportunity to kill you?
That is why I was imprisoned.
Ling Xiaolong's face was solemn. He silently nodded his head, thinking that Ling Xiaolong #1 sure had made too many enemies. Moreover, almost every one of his enemies was a Master of Chaos.
