Chapter 163: Abducting Aurora, Liana's purpose ()

"Bed-hogging guy?"

Following Lin Que's gaze, Akatsuki Nagisa looked thoughtfully at the girl sleeping in the ice coffin: "Do you mean her?"

"Yes, Ms. Liana gave her a name, called Aurora."

Akatsuki Kojou nodded: "I heard she seems to be the Fourth Progenitor, Nagisa, be careful and don't approach her casually."

"Eh? Really?!"

Akatsuki Nagisa was surprised: "The Fourth Progenitor, does that kind of thing really exist!"

"Of course it exists."

Lin Que replied: "And if you have to say, didn't you just have close contact with the real Fourth Progenitor?"

"Me? When..."

Akatsuki Nagisa was stunned and reacted instantly: "Could it be that the soul I just possessed was the Fourth Progenitor's soul?"

Lin Que nodded slightly: "Good reaction."

"Wait, this isn't right."

Akatsuki Nagisa realized something was wrong and looked at the fairy girl in the ice coffin with fair skin and long pale golden hair.

"If the soul I possessed was the Fourth Progenitor's soul, then Aurora couldn't be the Fourth Progenitor!"

"As for Aurora, naturally she isn't the Fourth Progenitor."

Lin Que came to the ice coffin and reached out to knock on it.

"If you have to say, she should be considered the Fourth Progenitor's jailer."

Crack~! Crack~! Crack~!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and with the place where Lin Que's finger knocked as the center, cracks spread on the ice coffin.

In the blink of an eye, the ice coffin reached its limit, and under everyone's gaze, it exploded, turning into powder and drifting into mid-air.

"Time to wake up, Aurora."

Lin Que reached out and pinched Aurora's cheeks twice: "Or are you waiting for me to wake you up the way Sleeping Beauty is woken?"

"......?"

Seemingly hearing Lin Que's voice, the girl who looked like a fairy slowly opened her eyes.

After the initial moment of confusion, her peculiar eyes, which seemed to radiate flame-like light, suddenly looked at Lin Que, and an expression of astonishment appeared on her calm face.

"Are you... Primordial?"

"Oh? Your reaction is quite fast."

Lin Que smiled: "But one point needs to be corrected, I am not the Primordial you know."

Aurora sat up and tilted her head in confusion; clearly, she didn't understand what Lin Que meant.

"Is it hard to understand?"

Lin Que flipped through the memories of the Primordial Fourth Progenitor: "To put it in a way you can understand, I ate that guy through the method of cannibalizing the same race."

"Wait!"

Liana, who had been silently thinking about Lin Que's background, widened her eyes in surprise upon hearing this.

"Mr. Lin Que, you used a method similar to cannibalizing the same race to eat the real Fourth Progenitor?!"

The so-called cannibalizing the same race refers to a vampire absorbing the blood of other vampires, taking the other party's bloodline and abilities for their own use.

Using this method to incorporate the Fourth Progenitor into his own body was equivalent to confronting the complete Fourth Progenitor head-on.

Not only would there be a risk of being usurped from within, but one's own existence could also easily be overwritten by the other party.

If Lin Que used a similar method to devour the Primordial Fourth Progenitor, wouldn't that mean his power was even higher than the legendary Fourth Progenitor?

And more importantly, if Lin Que succeeded, wouldn't that mean...

"That's right, just as you thought."

Seemingly hearing Liana's thoughts, Lin Que gave the answer first.

"After eating the Fourth Progenitor, I am now the Fourth Progenitor in name and reality."

"How is it, are you surprised?"

She didn't feel surprised, but she was quite astonished.

Looking at Lin Que in front of her, Liana now only felt her brain in a mess, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"As expected of Lin Que-niisan."

On the contrary, Akatsuki Nagisa, who was on the North North North Side, accepted this very smoothly.

"Suddenly becoming the legendary Fourth Progenitor, so amazing!"

"Ma ma~ it's not something worth showing off."

Lin Que looked back at Aurora: "As for me, this new Fourth Progenitor, do you have anything to say?"

Aurora, who now understood what had happened, was silent for two seconds and shook her head in confusion: "I don't know."

From the moment she was born, her mission was to seal and guard the soul of the Primordial Fourth Progenitor.

Now that the soul of the Primordial Fourth Progenitor had been devoured by Lin Que, theoretically, she should seal Lin Que.

But unlike the Primordial Fourth Progenitor who had lost her body and only had her soul left, Lin Que was in a complete state.

Being able to devour the soul of the Primordial Fourth Progenitor, Lin Que's strength could be imagined.

Facing him head-on, Aurora thought the chances of winning were slim.

In this situation, it seemed she had nothing to do but stare blankly.

"Since you don't know what to do, do you want to come with me."

Just as Aurora was lost in confusion, Lin Que suddenly reached out and waved in front of her.

"How boring it is to sleep and stare blankly here every day, I'll take you out to play."

"Go out to play?"

"Yeah, play however you want."

Like abducting an ignorant elementary school student, Lin Que casually drew a big pie.

"It's different from the era you were born in now; there are all kinds of delicious food in the outside world, don't you want to go and taste them."

"Delicious food."

Aurora's eyes lit up, instantly throwing responsibilities and such to the back of her mind: "Want to eat."

"Good, then it's a deal."

Lin Que reached out his hand: "I'll take you out to play!"

Aurora also reached out and held it: "Go out to play!"

"......really like a child."

Liana, who had temporarily calmed down on the North North North Side, looked at Aurora with a complicated gaze.

Before truly coming into contact, she really hadn't thought that this legendary No. 12 Flame-Light Night Lord would have such a personality.

Thinking of her original purpose for coming here, Liana sighed helplessly.

Even if the other party possessed powerful strength, using such a simple child to revive her family, her conscience was ultimately a bit uneasy.

Fortunately, compared to relying on Aurora's power, she actually had a better target now.

Moving her gaze away from Aurora, Liana looked at Lin Que, who was smiling and interacting with her.

"Um... Mr. Lin Que, can I have a chat with you?"
