Chapter 127: Truth, little girl, you lost

Babala's words left Aodaili stunned.

Immediately, her face showed an expression of ecstasy.

"Is it really you, Princess Babala?"

Aodaili's words instantly turned respectful, and her attitude became humble.

This change in her attitude also surprised Lu Xun.

He had thought that upon seeing Babala, Aodaili would seize her fiercely and drag her back.

But he never expected her to be so respectful.

Lu Xun underestimated Babala's allure to mages.

The spell Babala taught Lu Xun, and that meditation method, would likely be considered supreme treasures even in the West.

After all, the star Babala resides on—Ashimoxing—is twelve nodes ahead of Lan Xing on the Star Ancient Road.

For many ascended planets, being further ahead on the Star Ancient Road usually means greater strength at this stage.

Babala jumped out of Lu Xun's pocket, climbed onto his shoulder, and sat down squatting.

She looked down at Aodaili, as if a queen receiving her subjects, and spoke lightly: "You still haven't answered my question."

"Yes, I am her disciple, but Princess Babala, I am different from her—I have come to help you, and I will surely undo the spell on you."

Aodaili spoke earnestly, her eyes burning with sincerity.

"Really? You're probably after the meditation method and magic grimoire I possess, as well as the spell, aren't you?"

Babala exposed Aodaili's intentions with a single sentence.

"Princess Babala, I do indeed have such intentions, after all, the Spirit Star you reside on has far superior magical development compared to ours; in fact, my coming this time was not at my teacher's behest..."

Though her true intentions had been seen through, Aodaili, though somewhat embarrassed, still declared her resolve firmly and quickly explained why she had come this time.

She simply wanted to advance too much.

At twenty-two years old, she is already a fourth-realm mage, and among the many magic academies in the West she is a top-tier genius.

But only Aodaili knows why she can grow so quickly.

Because she is her teacher's test subject.

Her teacher, that terrifying and wicked woman, is infamous in the West, and her rise to power has been astonishing.

By a chance occurrence, Aodaili saw her teacher's magic notes and learned of Babala's existence.

She also learned that the experiments her teacher conducted on her were actually meant to verify some of the magic formulas Babala provided.

Aodaili's teacher doubts everything, but she never imagined Babala had no intention of deceiving anyone.

Babala merely wanted to go home and train a few helpers.

This worked to Aodaili's advantage, allowing her, with the aid of a magic formula, to open an extremely rare Heaven Earth Meridian when she unlocked her magic meridian, shocking the West.

But Aodaili did not thereby escape her teacher's control.

Instead, her teacher intensified the exploitation, using her to verify even more magic formulas.

Aodaili continued to make rapid progress, breaking through to the fourth realm as soon as she entered her third year of college.

Keep in mind, she had only just opened her meridian two years ago.

Not long ago, the West planned to dispatch a magic delegation.

Aodaili therefore signed up to participate, hoping to come to the East, find Babala, have Babala help her rise, and thus free herself from her teacher's control.

The East is vast; she was willing to go without much hope.

Unexpectedly, she actually managed to find her by a stroke of luck.

She had secretly glanced at her teacher's magic notes, knowing roughly how to tell, though not with complete certainty.

Now, everything has been confirmed.

"Princess Babala, please believe me—I am telling the truth."

To gain Babala's trust, Aodaili revealed everything about the dragon veins.

"I see."

Lu Xun still thought Aodaili was sent by that witch.

In that case, she learned of Babala's existence and came on her own.

It was merely that the timing was too coincidental—she happened to bump into him, which led Lu Xun to make that connection.

This time Babala remained awake longer than before; Aodaili spoke for a few minutes, yet Babala still did not fall back into slumber.

"The story is well fabricated."

Babala gave a light evaluation.

Having been deceived by a witch before, she likely harbors psychological trauma and does not easily trust Aodaili.

"Lady Babala, if you do not believe me, I can sign a contract with you."

To earn Babala's trust, Aodaili prepared to go all out.

Contract!

This amounts to a kind of magical contract.

An ordinary contract, if violated, is merely violated—at most one faces legal sanctions, posing no real threat to oneself.

But if a magical contract is violated, the backlash can be severe.

"A contract? If contracts were useful, how would I have ended up like this?"

Babala's counterquestion left Aodaili silent.

Contracts do indeed have magical efficacy.

Those who practice black magic have many ways to evade contracts.

Babala's current state is the best example.

She once was, but she had signed a contract with that witch.

"Your talent is not bad; if you can agree to one condition, I may be able to give you what you want."

Babala suddenly spoke.

"What condition, Princess Babala?"

Aodaili saw hope.

Babala pointed her little claw at Lu Xun: "Give your virginity to him, using virginity as the button, sign a contract with him, then you cannot break it."

Virginity!

Aodaili's face changed.

Although every time they met, she showed Lu Xun high admiration and worship.

But how much of it is genuine and how much is an act, only she herself knows.

Even in her eyes, Lu Xun is indeed a monster, even more monstrous than she.

But she could not possibly just give away her virginity like that.

That is her most precious first time.

"Babala, what are you doing?!"

Lu Xun also complained in his heart.

Well, he is now comrades with Babala, so he did not say this complaint directly, lest he appear to be on bad terms with Babala.

"My time is almost up, think it over well, and tell me your answer when we meet again."

Babala felt the power of the curse, and quickly finished speaking.

As soon as her words fell, the spirituality in her eyes quickly faded.

"Meow~"

After turning back into Xiaobai, she glanced at Lu Xun's head, wondering why she had appeared here.

Then Xiaobai lightly jumped into Lu Xun's pocket.

Lu Xun's treasure robe was almost made especially for Xiaobai; the pocket is large, and in fact there is an expansion space inside—when Xiaobai nests in it, from the outside nothing looks abnormal.

It nests there very comfortably.

Once Xiaobai entered the pocket, only Lu Xun and Aodaili remained here.

Aodaili's expression was wavering, obviously struggling.

The condition Babala proposed was like a double-edged sword, both stabbing her pride and tempting her desire.

She really wanted Babala's support.

But to simply give up her virginity... was hard for her to accept.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Lu Xun in the cage.

Even trapped in the Void Cage, this man still exudes a charm that makes one's heart race.

But after only a few days of acquaintance, how could she entrust her most precious thing?

In the old era, Western women were relatively open, but that was merely a fixed impression.

Aodaili came from a long-standing noble family, with strict upbringing, and premarital sexual relations were strictly forbidden.

"Aodaili..."

"You can't even beat me, what right do you have to get my virginity?!"

Lu Xun hadn't finished speaking when Aodaili interrupted him.

She suddenly lifted her head, her golden long hair tracing a fierce arc in the air.

"Can't win?"

Lu Xun's mouth corner slightly rose.

The next second, his eyes again shot out golden light.

At the same time, Lu Xun moved his hands, releasing dozens of huge fireballs in a short time.

This is the benefit of strong spiritual meridians.

In Immortal Cultivation, spiritual power is like water in a reservoir; the spiritual meridian is the faucet for water inflow and outflow—the stronger the meridian, the larger the faucet, and the more water can flow in and out simultaneously.

This allows for faster cultivation speed and the ability to unleash more powerful and numerous spells.

"Boom boom boom boom boom~"

Dozens of tenth-rank fireballs exploded simultaneously.

Combined with the domineering Fiery Eyes, Golden Pupils, even though Aodaili chanted the Void Cage for a full three minutes, it was directly pierced through!

Lu Xun's body moved, and he appeared outside the Void Cage.

Then, in Aodaili's utterly astonished gaze, Lu Xun reached out and lifted her chin: "Little girl, you lost."
