BXBX NOVEL Chapter 116: The Hidden realm!
-Dragon heart Talisman
Info: Dragonheart talisman is a powerful talisman created using the blood of the spiritual dragon.
Uses: after using this talisman, you can instantly increase your strength by 10 to 30 folds and recover your Qi.
'ooh! It seems it can come in handy,' Bai Lung's lips curved into a sinister smile, as he knew how to put things into their places.
It's obvious with such a huge amount, Bai Lung wants to borrow some knives for some butchering.
Just give one Dragonheart talisman to someone and they will instantly start to worship the fortune, cleaning the feet with their tongue.
'hmm... Perhaps I should give one to Beta Fang,' Bai Lung thought as that junior had helped him attract the protagonist.
However, Bai Lung still has some unspeakable feelings about him, it's hard to trust someone to be the perfect wingman.
There is no certainty Beta Fang will continue worshipping Bai Lung once he figures out that Bai Lung is the incarnation of the Devil itself.
Anyone who possesses the ability to devour spirit roots is called the devil.
A normal human is born with primordial Trinity origin — Light, Dark, and shadows.
However, Bai Lung possesses a formless spirit root, a vast emptiness, as if someone has plucked out.
That day, nothing special happened.
Time passed by, and night occurred.
———
"Hurry up! The hidden realm is about to open, the eclipse will happen anytime soon now,"
"Huhu! I am very excited about the hidden realm, Even people of top families like Zhao, Li, and Gu are here,"
Multiple families have gathered here waiting for the bunny eclipse to occur.
...
"Young master Bai! Shouldn't we go first and enter immediately when the hidden realm opens? Our sect has received permission to enter first," Xiao Ling'r uttered.
Currently, Bai Lung and Xiao Ling'r were in their regular tea-drinking area, sipping the tea.
"Saintess... Are you seriously talking about it?" Bai Lung uttered, his voice cold as ice as he sipped hot tea.
"I am well aware of what Young Master Bai is thinking... It is indeed true that if we enter the first, we will encounter traps, however, thanks to ancient maps... We will only encounter the welcoming trap, some treasures need some risk," she held her ground, speaking her mind with full confidence.
Swoosh~
The gentle wind blew, as her hair fluttered, while she gracefully slipped the tea.
"Saintess is correct! It seems it's bad on my side, I never thought the sect would consider sacrificing some disciples... " Bai Lung was genuinely surprised.
"It is to be expected... Our sect always entered later on, however, this time I made a little change and decided to sacrifice some pawns for a bigger game," She said, her eyes blaming with cold light.
"Oh! Saintess truly impresses me, I can't help but fall for you," Bai Lung looked at her beautiful face.
"This one is pleased to hear such flowery words spoken by a serpent... I hope Young Master will give me a second chance to prove myself, this time I am fully prepared," she said with a straight face, knowing very well his words were fake and useless.
Or maybe, he was somewhat impressed by her ability to sacrifice some people for the greater good, after all, such things are completely non-fitting for female leads such as her.
"Saintess, your pragmatism and strategic thinking are indeed most impressive. It's no wonder the sect trusts you to carry out such a bold plan even though you were like a flower growing outside the garden. Though I can't help but feel a twinge of pity for those sacrificial disciples - their fate, like that of pawns upon the chessboard, is a necessary cost for the greater victory, is it not?"
Bai Lung's lips curled into an enigmatic smile as he regarded the Saintess over the rim of his teacup.
"You know, I've always admired your unwavering dedication to our cause. That steadfast resolve, that keen intellect - it's no wonder you've survived such a lofty position within the sect,"
He paused, letting a pregnant silence hang in the air before continuing.
"Tell me, Saintess, do you ever find yourself questioning the morality of your actions? Surely the thought must cross your mind, even if fleetingly, that we are playing a dangerous game with the lives of others,"
His eyes glinted with a hint of mischief. "Or perhaps...you simply don't care. After all, the ends often justify the means, do they not?"
Hearing all this, Saintess remained unfazed even though her mind felt heavy.
She knew very well that a man such as him, would never feel pity at the death of others... She understood well, he was just testing her, wanting to how deep the water was.
Thus,
She too regarded Bai Lung over the rim of her teacup, her expression unreadable.
"Young Master Bai speaks truly venomously - the intricacies of my plans may at times seem labyrinthine, even to those of us who walk the path. But like the ripples upon still waters, each action we take sends tremors through the world, unseen yet ever-present,"
She set down her cup with a soft clink, her gaze unwavering.
"As for the morality of my actions...that is a question that has vexed the sages of old. What is morality, if not the subjective construct of those who hold power? We, who stand at the precipice, must need to make difficult choices - choices that may appear unsavory to the untrained eye,"
Bai Lung inclined his head, acknowledging her words.
"Saintess... Do you wanna see something magical? Something sinister?" Bai Lung's tone was soul-chilling.
'Eh?' Saintess was slightly taken back but she kept her cool
"I wonder what Young Master Bai wants to show me," she asked in a calm tone.
"Nothing much..." Bai Lung uttered and the very next moment, he released his darkish red menacing aura.
