The more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it was. In the learning s.p.a.ce, under the guidance of her instructors, Ling Lan had a deep understanding of this principle, whether it was the written meaning or the hidden meaning.
The petals suddenly seemed to have given a burst of life, as they naturally changed their direction to fly towards Ling Lan ferociously.
At the scene, Ling Lan instantly understood what Lord Kun meant when he said he would return the favour.
Without a doubt, he was returning her with petals like how she did to him with ice needles.
Ling Lan placed her hands together and a giant ice dome congregated around her.
Boom! The razor sharp petals exploded as soon it hit the ice doom.
A dense red mist soon began to spread around the hall from the exploded petals.
The emergency alarm in Ling Lan"s mind started blaring furiously. Without a second to waste, she quickly held in her breath.
However, Ling Lan immediately realized something had gone terribly wrong, as the red mist was slowly infiltrating into her domain concept.
It was corroding her domain concept!
Right at this second, Little White"s clone, who was fighting with the crimson bug, finally devoured its opponent. It burped in satisfaction… The meal it ate today was very nourishing for its body. After it finished the battle today and had a good sleep, it would be able to advance.
Suddenly, its body shuddered. It turned wild with joy as it looked at the thick red mist.
It smelled something that was even more delicious. This red mist was definitely the tonics of tonics.
“Rawr!” (Master, please let me eat it.)
Little White shouted agitatedly as the appearance of the red mist was a huge opportunity for it. If its master ate the red mist without sharing with it, it would cry itself to death. In Little White"s eyes, anything that was good for it was good for its master too. Thus, in his mind, its master would like to eat anything that it liked to eat too.
Fortunately, Ling Lan didn"t know that Little White had this weird perception about her. If not, she would definitely give Little White some quality education to let it understand that there was a difference in the taste between humans and monsters like it.
While Little White was being jealous of eating the good food by herself, Ling Lan was still thinking of ways to solve this danger that could erode her domain concept.
Suddenly, she could hear Little White shouting with all its might.
“That"s good too.” Ling Lan decisively stopped using her ice element concept. Almost instantly, a slit appeared in front of Ling Lan. It slowly opened, revealing a deep and endless multi-dimensional s.p.a.ce.
“It"s really the s.p.a.ce element.” Lord Kun"s expression turned serious. He carefully observed the multi-dimensional s.p.a.ce that was opened.
After the multi-dimensional s.p.a.ce appeared, a huge suction force came out of it. All the red mist in the air got sucked into the multi-dimensional s.p.a.ce.
Little White was a pet that loyally protected its master. After the red mist was sucked into its belly, it noticed that Lord Kun still wanted to attack its master, so it got angry and it tried to bite Lord Kun.
Hmph, Little White must be a qualified loyal pet that attacked without barking.
Who instilled this thought into Little White? …Please look for its raiser, Li Lanfeng.
In Lord Kun"s point of view, he could only see the multi-dimensional s.p.a.ce extending and moving towards him. His gaze turned sharp. He waved his hands in an orderly manner and a patch of gra.s.s magically grew ground from the pulverized marble floor. Then, the gra.s.s grew out radically until it was like a giant wave of gra.s.s. With its immense momentum, it moved towards the multi-dimensional s.p.a.ce with the intention to wrap itself around it.
The giant gra.s.s wave covered the entire hole. Although the suction force coming from the hole was strong, the gra.s.s wave could still hold on as its ends were clinging on the edge of the hole, helping it to hold on with perseverance. No matter how much Little White sucked, it wouldn"t go in.
This stalemate was maintained for a few seconds. Little White soon realized it couldn"t do anything to the gra.s.s wave, so it decided to stop.
Snap! The multi-dimensional s.p.a.ce closed up. The gra.s.s wave slowly fell to the ground without the suction force from the black hole.
When it fell to the ground, everyone could see that only the edges of the gra.s.s wave were left. The center portion had already been sucked away.
Little White felt a little full. The ma.s.s amount of energy was wreaking havoc in its body, so it must immediately enter its evolution state or the energy would go into an uncontrollable state. If that happened, it would get injured.
Hence, it started rawring out loud a few times. (Master, I"m full. I need to evolve so I"ll leave first.)
Before Ling Lan could reply, all of Little White"s clones in the main hall withered away. Little White followed its withered clones and flowed down their roots, piercing through the marble floor to reach the soil below the rainbow palace to hide in the depths of the soil.
“s.p.a.ce element is indeed impressive. Take another attack from me.” A cold intent appeared in Lord Kun"s eyes. His hands danced around each other quickly, and soon the entire main hall was swarmed with plants. The extravagant and brightly lighted hall turned into a world of plants.
Ling Lan could distinctively feel her opponent"s domain concept pushing away and segregating her ice element domain from the main hall.
This was clear evidence that her opponent"s domain concept was more powerful than hers. Although they were both in the imperial realm, there was a huge difference between her and Lord Kun.
Killing intent suddenly appeared in Ling Lan"s gaze, and a powerful force of presence descended on Lord Kun"s head.
Lord Kun was caught off his guard by the sudden change so he vomited out a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, this force of presence only lasted for a split second. Even so, Lord Kun felt cold sweat all over his body, even his legs were a little weak.
“G.o.d-realm!” He stared at Ling Lan with dread before finally managing to squeeze these two words out. He didn"t expect such a frightening existence to be present around Lan Xiao.
Ling Lan placed her hand behind her back and said calmly, “The 13 Lords of the Lawless Lands is very powerful. If the Soul Society doesn"t show some sincerity, how can we ask for a peaceful collaboration?”
In order to do business in this vicious land, you needed to have a powerful background. If not, you"re not here to do business, you"re here to give up your life.
“Soul Society really covered all their steps,” Lord Kun said with a pale face. He was pale because having such a powerful person stationed here didn"t mean anything good for the Lawless Lands. Plus, he was also quite injured from the altercation.
“Thank you for the compliment. The Soul Emperor doesn"t like to fail.” Ling Lan smiled and said, “The promises of the Soul Society still remain effective.”
“Good. I"ll tell Lord Qian about this.” Lord Kun replied resolutely, “Tomorrow at 8 am, the news of a new Lord Kun will be announced. This is a decision made by the 13 Lords of the Lawless Lands.”
Ling Lan nodded. “Thank you. The goods will be here three days later.”
“It"s a promise then,” Lord Kun confirmed.
“Yes.” Ling Lan gave her promise again.
After this affirmation, Lord Kun"s figure disappeared from the main hall. The world of plants quickly subsided. In a blink of an eye, the main hall returned to its normal appearance.
Only after a few minutes did Ling Lan feel that Lord Kun"s aura had completely disappeared. “Pfft.” She finally spat out the blood that she had been withholding in her chest.
