Corrupt Creations-Chapter 367

Chapter 367: Price

Lan Xue wasn’t able to comprehend those words, so she chose to keep ignoring the Elf Queen. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

One thing, was to work besides her, what actually, the Twelfth Palace Master didn’t care to do, in order to reach a common goal. But another thing, was trying to maintain these useless conversations, that would always lead to nowhere. That’s why Lan Xue chose to not say anything.

However, since the beginning, she wasn’t the one in control. The Elf Queen already had all the necessary things prepared for her real plan; the plan of pushing Lan Xue deeper into the darkness; a darkness that she herself enjoyed more than anything else. f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

“Haven’t you thought about how I was able to discover you, when you were approaching my house? You were hiding your aura and power so perfectly, but still...” Arwen stood up from her seat and started to slowly walk towards Lan Xue’s direction.

The Elf Queen words were able to somehow, awake a bit of interest on the Twelfth Palace Master. The way she was approaching the Elf Queen’s house on that day, wasn’t normal. She was using a very special movement technique that didn’t create any energy fluctuations and didn’t produce any sound. However, she was still easily discovered in the end, as if her technique amounted to nothing.

“But I still felt you approaching. Heh... Want to know why?”

“... Why?” Lan Xue didn’t like the idea of entering in a conversation with the Elf Queen, but she still asked why nonetheless.

.....

Arwen inwardly smiled. She had successfully broken the first layer of ice that blocked her path.

“Because I saw you coming. I saw you; the same way Seth could see his enemies inside that abyss, where both of you fell into.”

“!!!” Lan Xue’s surprised expression, immediately gave her away. With that, Arwen knew that most probably, she would succeed tonight. She was actually, using some of the information of the scenes Seth had described to her, to formulate a way of drawing Lan Xue in.

Arwen was already standing right in front of Lan Xue, looking directly at her while lightly smiling. She leaned a bit closer to that icy doll and said: “And let me tell you one more thing... This is not a mystical gift, but rather an ability that he taught me about, and if you want to have better chances of succeeding, you could try asking him to also teach you how to use it. However, the price is not cheap at all. In fact, it will cost everything you have...”

Arwen slowly brought her pristine white hand towards Lan Xue’s face and lightly touched her smooth cheeks, while saying: “Including your perfect body and doll face.”

While doing so, she felt a wave of a cold energy trying to freeze her hand, but it never had the chance to, since after she finished saying those words, the Elf Queen started moving away from that table, leaving Lan Xue behind.

Arwen decided to leave the Evergreen Tavern once more, in order to search for more clues about the best path for their journey, but before she left that place, she still left a last phrase behind.

“I wonder which one is more powerful... The determination to make your revenge concrete, or the shackles that the Glazed Lake Sect had put on you.”

Arwen passed through the entrance door and swiftly vanished, before even hearing what Lan Xue had to say. The interaction between them was very odd and stiff, with one trying to get the upper hand, while the other, ignoring most of the former words.

However, when Lan Xue heard Arwen talking about the Glazed Lake Sect, her grandmother’s image came into her mind and inadvertently, it had made Lan Xue’s revenge wishes, get stronger.

Lan Xue decided to stand up and leave, but before doing that, she grabbed the Evergreen Wine bottle and unexpectedly, started drinking directly from it. Before long, the bottle was empty and the Twelfth Palace Master had acquired something to blame, for her next course of actions.

“The Glazed Lake had never put any shackles on me...”

Lan Xue’s body smoothly vanished, as if it had just turned into hundreds of thousands of small snow crystals that slowly melted in the air.

BOOM!!!

Inside an ethereal place where the ground and sky didn’t exist, a huge purple explosion had just occurred.

Impressively, that explosion hadn’t damaged the fragile body of a graceful girl that stood hovering in the air in the least. However, the same couldn’t be described for the purple entity that had been purged to oblivion, by that explosion.

Meiyi’s veins were tinged with a reddish-purple coloration, that slowly vanished as time passed.

Suddenly, from the ethereal void, another purple entity had been self-generated and the Illusive Ethereal Goddess had returned to the world.

Without saying a single word, she stood there; still; stranded. Whatever was happening, was too much; even for an entity like her.

At the outside of that place, the Illusive Ethereal Haze was covering the whole sky, announcing for everyone that their goddess was doing something important.

SWOOSH!!!

But suddenly, that purple smoke-like energy started to swiftly dissipate, revealing the normal sky that was previously hidden.

Inside a majestic cathedral, the Sanctuary Master swiftly turned his head towards the place he usually observed all day, but for some reason, wasn’t doing so at that moment.

“Goddess...”

His body turned into an ethereal purple smoke, quickly moving towards that location.

A few seconds later, he appeared before the closed doors a sanctuary. It was at least three times bigger than the cathedral he lived in, but differently from that place, living inside that sanctuary, was an entity that could only be described as a goddess.

Suddenly, the Sanctuary Master heard the distinct noise of the sanctuary doors opening, together with a thick purple smoke that filled the air. Without even thinking twice, he knelt down.

“Goddess. You called for me and here I am.”
