The Moon Princess waved her slender hand, and dozens of meteors fell from the sky. Each one, over a thousand feet wide, dragged a frenzied, chaotic tail of fire as it hurtled towards the Flower of Desire that was wreaking havoc in the Royal City.
The Flower of Desire was not to be outdone.
Its tentacles and roots reached out, twisting and flailing, smashing the falling meteors into pieces. Its roars transformed into a mental pollutant, as a sinister wind carried whispering voices swiftly across the area.
Countless Eternal Night Residents and their Pet Beasts were struck by a Thunder Strike, their rationality turning to foam as a searing desire surged from deep within.
They exchanged glances, a hint of greed appearing in their eyes. The neighbors, relatives, wives, and children before them... all seemed to exude an enticing aroma.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere!
The Flower of Desire twisted wantonly, spreading its curse. An odor both fishy and sweet wafted out, yet, unexpectedly, it caused no nausea.
The crowd greedily devoured, the taste in their mouths incredibly tempting, as if feasting on the rarest delicacies.
Accompanied by clear chewing sounds, the mouths of the Eternal Night Residents and their Pet Beasts dripped with blood, staining their clothes. Their bodies began to writhe, and their Souls distorted.
Immediately, throughout the Royal City, crimson-black foul blood dyed the ground red. Scattered bones floated and sank in the bloody pools, and dozens of twisted shadows, trailing streaks of crimson, hunted their prey.
Tailors, Bartenders, chefs... eerie figures from the various banquets appeared in large numbers. A glance revealed Demons everywhere...
"What greedy little darlings. Don’t eat too much and get a tummy ache," Xing Mei said, propping her chin with her slender hand, utterly indulgent of the Forbidden entity she had subdued.
If the Flower of Desire were allowed to continue, the entire Royal City would become a Cursed City. This would be extremely advantageous, whether for threatening the Moon Princess or driving her away. However, the meteor strikes from the Moon Princess also troubled Xing Mei, continually depleting the strength the Flower of Desire had yet to fully master.
At this moment, a figure in a black robe hovered in mid-air, exuding a cold and fierce aura. Gray fog lingered around them, concealing their true form and preventing any information from leaking.
"Big brother, are you here to cooperate with me?" Xing Mei immediately perked up. Her features were exquisite, her appearance captivating. Her cherry lips were slightly parted, and her creamy cheeks, tinged with a blush, made her even more charming and delicate. The rose in her left eye swayed gently, while her right purple pupil gleamed, her gaze bewitching, capable of stealing souls.
"However, the Pet Beast that big brother enslaved might not be retrievable. Though I’m a bit sorry, I still have to say thankies, big brother," Xing Mei said softly, lifting her luxurious skirt and lowering her head. Yet, her words held not a hint of apology, but rather a playful tease.
"Seems like it’s about time," Chu Yi muttered to himself, paying no heed to her.
Ever since the Flower of Desire’s birth, Chu Yi had established a ’certainty.’
Certainty: Sealing will be successful.
Spending ten portions of immense Divinity, Chu Yi had set this certainty, a cost far exceeding the sealing of the Divine Eye.
"Succubus Princess, I must say, your flower is quite impressive," Chu Yi said with a faint smile. He immediately aimed at the Flower of Desire and activated [Seal].
His skin writhed as a distorting force enveloped the Flower.
The Flower of Desire began to tremble. Its twisted tentacles all turned into shadows, injecting themselves into the black-robed figure.
"Void Burst!" Xing Mei’s playful intent vanished. She quickly ordered the Void Monarch forward to seal off the space, causing a void collapse. She had almost forgotten that this person possessed a method to enslave an Evil God’s Favored.
But the Flower of Desire was no ordinary Favored; it was a new Forbidden entity, at least four or five times stronger than the Divine Eye!
However, the Moon Princess cooperatively halted her attacks and joined her palms. Seizing the opportunity, she activated her Moon Authority. A massive force field enveloped Xing Mei, forcing the Void Monarch to return to defend her.
At the same time, a scarlet moon manifested in the void.
The Moon Princess targeted the giant rhizome of the Flower of Desire, immediately beginning a wave of dimensional reduction attacks.
All its branches, leaves, stems, and petals began to tremble, undergoing strange transformations. Lines emerged, and colors slipped away. Then, they were fiercely hurled, plunging into the human skin Chu Yi wore, where the rustling sound of them being gnawed upon echoed constantly.
With the help of the Moon Princess, the seal succeeded!
His Painted Skin skill and the Moon Princess’s dimensional reduction attack were simply a perfect match.
"...Thank you," the Moon Princess said, approaching Chu Yi but maintaining a safe distance. She nodded slightly in thanks, her pink lips lifting in a faint curve.
Chu Yi did not respond. He understood that this particular action (the cause) had resulted in (the effect of) securing periodic trades in Divinity. He could even make excessive requests now... Like asking her to offer her feet for his inspection.
PTOOEY, PTOOEY! How could a righteous person like me entertain such a thought?
This simple and brutal scene left the Succubus Princess, who had meticulously planned everything, utterly dumbfounded.
The Flower of Desire, which had covered a vast area, was uprooted. In its place, some unsealed branches turned into black snow, pouring down everywhere before dissipating into nothingness. Only reddish-brown soil remained, littered with exposed bones, skulls, human skins, and other remains, piled up like mountains.
Many died in this battle. Even the center of the Royal City suffered heavy casualties.
"How... how could this be..." Her tender body trembled, her smoky dress swayed. Tears welled in her purple eyes as she glared angrily at Chu Yi. But the disobedient tears rolled in large drops down her jade-like cheeks. A few stray strands of black hair, moistened by tears, clung to her snow-white skin, making her appear all the more delicate and pitiable.
For this plan, she had racked her brains for days, killing many people, including dissenters within her cult. Yet that ’big brother,’ the Forbidden entity, had plundered the fruits of her labor! So shameless!
As she cried, protected by the Void Monarch, Xing Mei’s slender shoulders trembled. Her lithe body swayed like a White Lotus in the wind. Suddenly, she could no longer restrain herself; her rosy lips curved into a playful smile, and she covered her mouth, bursting into laughter.
She was overly excited, laughing through her tears.
"Big brother, surely you didn’t think my goal was merely this, right?"
"Actually, from the moment you first appeared at the banquet, my target has always been you!"
"A... a Forbidden entity that can enslave an Evil God’s Favored... Come, become my personal property."
Before her words had even faded, Chu Yi’s expression changed slightly. An endless greed spread from within him.
This was... the aberration he had devoured at the banquet!
The true master of the banquet was, in fact, this Succubus Princess, and she had just activated her contingency plan. The sealed Flower of Desire resonated with this aberration. If it wasn’t released, it would cause a backlash against him. Just like the Divine Eye, it could be melded into the Desire Mother Tree, birthing a new Forbidden entity!
Sealing merely contained a concrete existence, while the Flower of Desire’s true form was desire as a concept!
"Since that’s the case," Chu Yi said, his cold eyes sweeping over the Succubus Princess, who believed she had won, and then glancing at the Moon Princess, who was reaping the benefits without lifting a finger. He smiled faintly. "I’m not pretending anymore."
With that said, his aura was no longer concealed.
Evolution Points -150.
The black robe began to twitch. The human skin he wore seemed to want to break free from his true body! Then, blood gushed forth, accompanied by a violent ripping sound, as the human skin was shed like a coat.
