Chapter 206: The Meaning of One Finger
Bai Siyou was directly silenced by Ye Lin's elegant and refined language.
"By the way, you're actually an adult, right? Then it's not illegal. Wait for me outside properly!"
The moment the teleportation array started, Ye Lin gave Bai Siyou a pure smile.
Bai Siyou was stunned, then hurriedly said.
"With the Eternal Cube, I can become an adult!"
"It's useless. With the Demon Contract, if I don't let you change, you can't change! Hehehe!"
Bai Siyou gasped, her eyes filled with terror. She seemed to want to say something else.
But with a spatial fluctuation, Bai Siyou and the survivors of Bajin City disappeared together, leaving only Ye Lin in the vast Bajin City.
Bai Siyou and the others had just been teleported away when a stunning woman arrived at high speed—it was the Soul-Devouring Empress!
"The aura of the Eternal Cube suddenly disappeared?!"
The Soul-Devouring Empress's purple eyes were filled with suspicion.
"Speak! Where did the Eternal Cube go!"
The Soul-Devouring Empress shouted, fixing her gaze on Ye Lin, the only living person left.
But when she saw Ye Lin's appearance, she retreated several steps as if she had seen a ghost, the fruits on her slender branches trembling uncontrollably.
"It's you? Shouldn't you be with Lord Butterfly Emperor right now? Why are you here?"
The Soul-Devouring Empress was completely baffled. How could a human who couldn't even break her dark barrier have quietly run here?
Facing the Soul-Devouring Empress's questioning, Ye Lin raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
"I, Ye Lin, do things my own way. Why should I explain to you?"
The Soul-Devouring Empress was stunned, then looked at Ye Lin with suspicion.
Why would a mere level 54 human dare to speak to her in such a tone?
Could it be that this guy had already defected to the Butterfly Emperor and become his subordinate?
Within the Demon Clan, bloodline levels were strict. If Ye Lin had truly become a follower of an Emperor-level Demon Clan member, his status wouldn't be any lower than hers, the Soul-Devouring Empress!
After all, Ye Lin's words and actions represented the Butterfly Emperor's face!
"Have you already defected to Lord Butterfly Emperor?" the Soul-Devouring Empress asked suspiciously.
Ye Lin's eyes rolled, then a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth as he raised a finger at the Soul-Devouring Empress.
"You mean, you're not a servant, but the only apostle of Lord Butterfly Emperor?" The Soul-Devouring Empress was shocked.
An apostle and a servant were very different. An Emperor-level Demon Clan member would have many servants, but only one apostle!
In other words, an apostle was equivalent to the Demon Emperor's agent.
Ye Lin smiled without speaking, his eyes even carrying a hint of contempt as he looked at the Soul-Devouring Empress.
This made the Soul-Devouring Empress feel even more that Ye Lin must have found the Butterfly Emperor as a backer; otherwise, how would a mere human dare to be so arrogant?
"Since you know my identity, do I need to teach you what to do?" Ye Lin coughed twice and said coldly, following the Soul-Devouring Empress's logic.
"Yes..."
A look of humiliation flashed across the Soul-Devouring Empress's face. Then, she bit her red, crystal-clear lower lip and knelt on one knee before Ye Lin.
"Soul-Devouring Empress, Yue Qi, greets the Apostle."
"Holy shit!"
Ye Lin was startled. This Soul-Devouring Empress was truly good at overthinking; she had actually overthought herself into kneeling.
"Apostle, what's wrong?" the Soul-Devouring Empress asked, confused.
Servants of Emperor-level Demon Clan members could sit on equal footing with Empress-level Demon Clan members, and upon seeing an apostle, Empress-level Demon Clan members had to kneel and salute.
"Nothing. You go back. I'm leaving! The humans who died in Bajin City took the Eternal Cube. I'm returning to the human world to chase it back! The Origin Ancient Artifact belongs only to the great Demon Clan!"
Ye Lin's gaze was firm, as if he could heroically sacrifice himself for the Demon Clan at any moment.
"Farewell, Apostle! I wish you success!" The Soul-Devouring Empress Yue Qi lowered her body respectfully. The Mariana Trench was fully visible before Ye Lin, making his throat bob up and down; he almost didn't want to leave.
"Ahem! Fine, no time to lose. I'm off to chase the Eternal Cube for the Demon Clan!"
Ye Lin stood up and was about to leave. Bai Siyou hadn't lied to him; this trip was indeed safe with some danger.
Ye Lin had just left when the Soul-Devouring Empress suddenly frowned as if she had received some news.
"Stop!" the Soul-Devouring Empress shouted, her eyes cold.
"Bold! Don't you know who I am?" Ye Lin turned his head with a straight face.
"I don't know who you were before, but you're about to be a dead man!"
The Soul-Devouring Empress was both ashamed and angry. She had just been fooled by a human—it was simply outrageous!
If it weren't for the news from the Butterfly Emperor's side, she might still be kept in the dark by Ye Lin.
Realizing the Soul-Devouring Empress had sensed something was wrong, Ye Lin didn't talk nonsense and used a Space Jump to escape.
But the Soul-Devouring Empress raised her fair jade hand and grabbed at the air. The space around Ye Lin became as sticky as a swamp, and he couldn't move at all.
"Motherfucker!"
Ye Lin immediately activated Burning Reincarnation and Dance of Instant, his agility instantly reaching a terrifying 40,000 points!
Ye Lin kicked the ground hard, and his whole body shot out like an arrow from a bow. He absolutely couldn't be trapped by the Soul-Devouring Empress; otherwise, he would truly have no chance to escape.
But he was fast, and the Soul-Devouring Empress was faster.
"Dark Barrier!"
"Daring to deceive me, you won't be able to fly away today!"
With a shout, deep, ink-like darkness eroded toward Ye Lin. The darkness spread in all directions and soon shrouded the entire Bajin City.
Watching the range of the Dark Barrier grow larger and larger, Ye Lin became increasingly anxious.
If he were truly shrouded by this Dark Barrier, he would become a turtle in a jar again just like last time.
But even if he wanted to break the situation, where would he find a way? What exactly did that finger Bai Siyou raised mean?
"Could it mean... forget it, treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!"
Ye Lin's eyes stared fixedly at the Soul-Devouring Empress.
"Give me a Forbidden Spell that can defeat this Demon Clan member!"
Ye Lin directly used his only chance to create a Forbidden Spell.
【According to your needs, a Forbidden Spell is now being generated.】
【Forbidden Spell—Joyful Emptiness Double Operation: The Forbidden Spellcaster ignores level gaps, igniting the fire of desire within themselves and the specified target, causing both to enter a temporary state of dazed confusion.】
【Confirm generation?】
Ye Lin: "..."
His mouth couldn't help but twitch. Did the finger Bai Siyou raised mean "all the way to the end"? ===== CHAPTER 207 =====
