"What the hell?"

Bruno spoke to the whale, completely shocked. Before them was no longer the tiny figure a few inches tall that looked like a pure and immaculate pixie. She now took on a human form as tall as the whale, full of curves and with a gaze that was anything but innocent. Her clothing... was even more revealing than Calirer’s.

"Hm? Prefer something smaller? The size of that human living by your side should be enough, right?"

The Fey spoke softly, leaving the whale speechless. How the hell did they get into this? Amid his thoughts, the feminine figure shimmered and her body actually shrunk to Ruri’s size.

The Fey smiled wickedly and nodded. In an instant, the entire room shifted, and various strange black objects appeared. There were objects of all sizes and shapes... Alm and Bruno felt a cold sweat trickle down their backs.

"They usually try their best, but they give in before I allow it. So, I have to punish them... I hope you won’t disappoint me," she said slowly, a smile plastered on her face.

It was then that the whale stepped back, stunned. "Wait, damn it!"

"Hm?" She quickly looked a bit disappointed and very furious. "I hate disobedient boys. But... I will show you how to behave."

Bruno’s mind raced, and he spoke even faster. "I didn’t come here on anyone’s orders! I want to talk and negotiate!"

"Hm? How cute, what can a red disciple offer me? Don’t be shy. By the way, it’s also fun the first time. If you cry a little, I might give you a little more."

She spoke, and a black whip appeared in her hand, which she cracked on the ground. At that moment, Alm and Bruno widened their eyes, their faces contorted. ’Fuck, we’re screwed! Do something, damn it!’ Bruno mentally roared in despair.

Alm swallowed hard. That strange woman was at the peak of divine cultivation; escaping her by force was impossible. She wanted to devour them, and they were in her domain, alone, after jumping directly into her web.

’Wait... Feys aren’t supposed to have strong sexual urges. They don’t even have a defined gender at birth.’ Alm reflected at an abnormal speed, seeing her in slow motion, taking a step toward them.

’This is a Yin planet that goes against the Yang and pure nature of the race. It created a mutation in them, and certainly caused abnormalities.’ Bruno added, following the reasoning, grasping at anything in desperation. ’A woman is already very close to Yin. And natural life seeks a state of balance, trying to find the Yang that barely exists in this place.’

Alm quickly dug into his mind for something. ’A woman in a Yin world, where there’s not much Yang anywhere. If it were an ascending place, they would all have a nearly diseased body and should live short lives. But because of divine cultivation, it didn’t become a serious problem. It’s easy to mutate Yin internally... I know!’

The Fey looked at the whale with a troubled expression, then saw his expression change and smiled, now two meters away from him. "Your little game is really fun. You got lucky, it’s been a while since I..."

She suddenly stopped as she felt something ignite on the whale’s wrist. It was a tattoo, radiating the purest and most primordial Yin she had ever seen. Suddenly, he moved his wrist, and she didn’t react, as there was no possibility of him doing anything against her.

But...

Suddenly, the Yin spun and merged. It formed something strange with a faint grayish glow. Then, in the blink of an eye, it surged forward, enveloped her, and touched her, penetrating her skin naturally, as if his body had only breathed it in.

"Uh!" A strange moan echoed, and she widened her eyes, then fell to her knees.

That didn’t cause any sense of evil or danger, it just seemed like the natural and pure Yin of the planet. It naturally mixed with the Yin of her body. Then its properties were activated.

She remained silent, completely still on the ground, eyes wide open, but her heart beating like a drum. Bruno saw this, shocked. ’What did you do?’

’I just merged a bit of Yin with the chaos laws and left a bit of my intentions. When it merged with her Yin, the chaos laws acted like stem cells and transformed into what she needed most, the Yang,’ explained Alm relieved, thanking the heavens that it worked.

Unlike Langrum or anyone else who needed Yang, she wouldn’t die or have major problems due to her divine cultivation.

But, this Fey lived her life feeling like she had an internal open wound all the time. That’s why she sought in men who possessed a bit of Yang from this planet, what she lacked. It was instinctive, which, with long life, became a snowball. Being dominant and powerful, at some point, seemed more useful to her. Combined with loneliness and the likely fear of having a healthy relationship because of her status and people wanting to use her; it distorted her mind creating this personality.

As for the strange taste for young men, Alm and Bruno didn’t know. But Alm would certainly say she was just like his other half, with her peculiar tastes.

’Now, she must be feeling an incredible sense of well-being she’s never felt in her life. A good remedy for the mental distortion she must have,’ Alm concluded.

The whale sat down and took a deep breath. It took several minutes until Fey trembled and returned to reality. She turned to the whale as if she were someone else. Before, all the impulses she kept sealed were released just because she saw in them a way to alleviate them. But now she felt nothing anymore...

"Can we talk properly now?" The whale spoke softly, looking at her. "I’m married, and my wife is a bit jealous and wild. Neither of us will want to deal with her afterward."

"What did you..." She muttered, and her body began to glow instinctively.

Without thinking, she reverted to her true form of a few inches. Her mind was relaxed and felt so good that she naturally returned to her most primitive and comfortable state.

Alm and Bruno couldn’t deceive this high-level cultivator with empty explanations, nor could they talk about the chaos laws they possessed. They solved one problem by creating another, but they had a temporary weapon; they quickly tossed a crystal to her. She grabbed it, confused, but it didn’t take long for her to focus on what was recorded inside.

It only took a minute until the small Fey’s fist clenched and her body trembled with fury.

"Son of a bitch!" Her consciousness returned to reality, and her rage began to distort the space around her. What they did to her didn’t matter now, this was something big. "Now I’ve seen the face of that bitch Soul Eater. I’ll hunt her down and demand her head. As for these bastards..."

"Wait, she’s one of mine. And she’s part of the sect," the whale calmly cut through her thoughts. Then he began to explain.

Calirer having the Soul Eater bloodline was known to the sect, and her absorbing the bloodline of those of her race wasn’t so abnormal. But the shock of that Fey came after the whale mentioned the attack by four Empyreans. They must have had the highest level of bloodline, and Calirer absorbing that must have completely changed her power.

After the shock, came the disbelief. They told her about the sneak attack by the demon elder.

Alm and Bruno used the only way out and explanation they could give; they used her lack of knowledge. And the only thing a cultivator at her level could be completely ignorant of was the power of a primordial bloodline.

They explained that their bloodline gave them a precise and supernatural instinct of danger. As soon as that elder approached, it was as if their bloodline told them he was much more powerful than he seemed. So, without any hesitation, they played all their cards to kill him before he unleashed his cultivation.

Getting to kill him before he unleashed his cultivation was believable, especially if he wasn’t expecting it, and it was explosive and unpredictable power. Still, it was hard to believe... but the whale nodded. Then, a body split in half appeared in front of Fey.

"The proof is here. On my home planet, there was a place called the Abyss, where countless demon races lived. Some of these races came from the divine world and had ties to the Shadow God sect, Calirer’s race being an obvious example. Luckily, there was also something similar to the elder’s black tablet," explained the whale, showing the tablet with its runes almost completely faded.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёwebnovel.com.

Fey knew what should be sealed on the whale’s home planet. To protect that place, many unbelievable and high-level things should exist. Having something similar at some level to the clan’s tablet seemed acceptable.

After she nodded, the whale explained that using the Soul Eaters’ bloodline, he managed to activate some of the runes. So they took the risk of giving this to Calirer, with the assurance that everything would be done with Rehvka’s help.

They said Rehvka, Ruri, and Corin were candidates for divinity, possessing their own Daos being judged. This would eventually be discovered; there was no problem in saying it now. Rehvka’s Dao specialized in concealment using Yin, something abundant on the planet, making her abilities even more terrifying. Thus, she managed to record everything.

According to him, this was done over several days, and it was only possible because they had the two most prominent and valued young Feys playing a double game in the clans. Thus, they got the information that they didn’t know when the elder would come and who he was.

Fey listened somewhat incredulously, but she didn’t see major flaws in this explanation. Later, she could verify these Daos, and he couldn’t lie so blatantly about it. Then, she looked deeply at the whale. She couldn’t believe he really did all this... or judge if he was crazy or insanely reckless. Maybe both?

Fey murmured, "You risked your wife’s life with a 99% chance of failure..."

"I’ve already said I’m married and have only one wife. Calirer is my ally, and we trust each other, along with everyone else. We have a long-standing relationship of companionship and family," retorted the whale, snorting. "Well, you wanted this, right? I’ve explained more than I needed to, and you’ve gained something unbelievable to use."

Fey took a deep breath. Indeed, whether she had doubts or not, his story was insane, and no one would have risked so much... but it was believable. As for the evidence she gained from him, it was enough to confront all these traitors, create a bloodbath, and eradicate the rotten roots of the sect. She gained and benefited greatly, so much that it couldn’t be measured.

The whale saw that she accepted and nodded. "Great, now let’s negotiate my rewards."
