Cheat Cultivator's Ascension-Chapter 539: Extreme Emotions

"Fufufu~~~ haha~~~ hahaha~~~ haah~~ Ahh, apologies, it seems like I let my emotion get the better of me" as she finally manages to control herself from the laughter that burst out from the depth of her lungs, Liliana even apologizes with a gleeful tone, almost as if she had already forgotten what these people are previously trying to do.

"What are you laughing at?" at these odd proceedings of the event that catches him off-guard, the dragon prince's mask of calm and collectedness couldn't help but reveal the true face hidden underneath, his questioning tone initially filled with irritation for a moment before he manages to reign it in and return to his generous tone again.

"I just find your offer amusing, Noveus," dropping the title as she just addresses the heir of an empire like some acquaintance or just someone equal, probably even below her, Liliana replies, the smile still on her face as she stares at the person in front of her with a condescending gaze.

"Amusing you say??" with the mask gradually crumbling under the continuous taunt of the lady in front of him, Noveus struggles to keep his act from falling apart, his jaw clenched and his teeth gnashed in fury, his hands twitching, itching to ball themselves into fists and take the opportunity to attack this lady given the shortness of distance between the two of them, yet still refuses to do so as he have this nagging feeling that the moment he makes a move, that unfamiliar vampire will stop him without effort.

"I mean…" seeing the prince's face gradually painting itself with the wrath he is hiding underneath, Liliana replies, pausing for a while as she stares down on the one negotiating with her before she opens her mouth once more.

"Not to mention now, even when I wasn't this strong, what makes you think that I will even spare a shred of thought about joining your group of ego fulfillment? You, people, might not be directly related to it, but you're one of the reasons why I am like this now!! AN ORPHAN!!"

It was initially a calm, mocking tone that she used to answer the draconic heir's question with, and yet as her words continues to reach its end, emotions, swelling, swirling from deep inside her causes her to raise her voice step by step, in the end not even she herself, out of the strong emotions engulfing her, noticed that she is already shouting in front of the dragon in front of her.

And the strength of this anguish, this hatred, truly shows as the mindscape turns a shade darker of crimson, the moon hanging on the sky now truly looking like blood, no, it truly becomes blood as sanguine liquid flows down from it, like a waterfall of slaughter raising the level of blood in the ground, inches, feet, yards, seemingly flowing to no end.

"You think scaring me will make this situation any better? Think again, vampire, there's only one way for you to get out of this situation with the least problem!! That is, if we get out of here unscathed!!"

Seeing what is happening, the pool of blood gradually rising, drowning everything around him, the prince of the dragons spoke once again, his words not reaching the lady now filled with wrath as his voice was drowned by an anguished, lonely mix of cries and laughter that chills not only his, but everyone else's bones to no end.

While he still seethes in anger, the other front row seats couldn't help but think that this might no longer be the best way to deal with it, as each word that comes out from their leader's mouth seems to be making the crying and laughter sounds even worse. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"I knew it, she's still not ready for this kind of things…" as the Great Ones struggle in despair feeling like they are about to come face to face with death, a calm, deep voice resounds with a sigh amidst the cry of anguish, this voice that overwhelms the ear ringing cries coming from a place they couldn't pinpoint, as if it was everywhere within this bloody landscape, all at once.

The blood continues to climb upwards, and upwards, and unfortunately for these geniuses, their heads that could not wrap around the fact that they couldn't muster any of their strength within this place renders them immobile, unable to exert strength or even just move at all, making them feel like a fish on a chopping board as the flood of blood begins drowning them alive.

Some despaired, wailing in fear of death, while some just helplessly smiled, thinking that this is their end; either way, they only wait helplessly as they became painfully aware that they can do nothing to escape this situation, the deafening cries making this experience of approaching death all the more uncomfortable to them.

"Finally returned to your senses?" moments passed and as their body, all the way up to the top of their head, got submerged under the thick, sweet iron-scented blood, they heard that calm, masculine voice once again, this time sounding comforting, a tone not directed to them at all, but towards the cause of all this terror inducing experience instead.

"Y-yes" feeling a stinging pain making her head spin, Liliana weakly replies, her currently dulled senses making her incapable of telling that right at this moment, she is in a situation that she wants to avoid the most, her body leaning onto that immortal-like figure, her hand wrapped around his torso in an attempt to support himself up, and her waist is currently wrapped around one of his arms.

Massaging her temple and easing up the spinning motion, she finally opens her eyes, her body still in the same position, making Su Xiaotian feel her trembling as she watches, no, observes everything around her, her mind scape still there, but transforming, evolving into something completely different, far greater, but no longer just her own.

"T-this… h-how?" closing her eyes, rubbing them, opening them, closing them again and repeating this process several times, she mutters in disbelief, her eyes, previously examining the landscape around her, now focused on the immortal-like young man whose body is currently wrapped around with her arms, said young man merely smiling as he replies to her.

"Shouldn't you ask why instead? This is quite dangerous, after all, well, for you, not for me, of course," he replied, revealing to her a warm, yet nevertheless helpless smile as he moves his arms, helping her stand up on her own as he knows full well how she will react the moment she realizes that she is completely clinging onto him right now.

Finally making sure that she can stand up on her own feet, he allows her to take in the view, all while hiding everything currently happening from the Great Ones as he keeps them submerged in the deep pool of blood, no longer deadly, but extremely, severely uncomfortable nonetheless.

"it's… beautiful…" she mutters to herself as she indulges on the plethora of visual stimuli in front of her, her face one filled with fascination as she takes one look at her surroundings, then one look at the young man who brought about such change to her mind scape, making her wonder just how is it possible for him to bring about such massive changes to the form of her will.
