Chapter 206: The Meaning of a Single Finger

Bai Siu was rendered speechless by the elegant, eloquent words flowing from Ye Lin's mouth.

"By the way, you are actually an adult, right? Then it wouldn't be illegal. You wait for me properly on the outside, okay!"

The moment the teleportation array activated, Ye Lin flashed a pure smile at Bai Siu.

Bai Siu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said.

"With the Eternal Cube, I can turn into an adult!"

"It's useless. With the Magic Contract in place, if I don't let you change, you can't! Hehehe!"

Bai Siu gasped, her eyes filled with terror; she seemed to want to say something more.

But with a ripple in space, Bai Siu and the survivors of Bajin City vanished together, leaving only Ye Lin behind in the vast, empty city.

No sooner had Bai Siu and the others been teleported away than a stunningly beautiful woman arrived at high speed—it was the Soul-Devouring Empress!

"The aura of the Eternal Cube has suddenly disappeared?!"

The Soul-Devouring Empress's purple eyes were filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Speak! Where did the Eternal Cube go!"

The Soul-Devouring Empress shouted sharply, casting her gaze toward Ye Lin, the only living person left.

But when she saw Ye Lin's appearance clearly, 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 staying with Lady Butterfly Emperor right now? Why are you here?"

The Soul-Devouring Empress was completely baffled; how could a human who couldn't even break through her Dark Barrier have arrived here without a sound?

Facing the Soul-Devouring Empress's interrogation, Ye Lin raised an eyebrow and spoke coldly.

"I, Ye Lin, act as I please throughout my life; why should I explain myself to you?"

The Soul-Devouring Empress was startled at first, then began to size Ye Lin up with suspicion and uncertainty.

A mere level 54 human—why would he dare to speak to her in such a tone?

Could it be that this guy had already defected to Lady Butterfly Emperor and become her subordinate?

Within the Demon race, bloodline hierarchy is strict; if Ye Lin had truly become an attendant to an Emperor-level Demon, his status would be no worse than hers, the Soul-Devouring Empress!

After all, every word and action of Ye Lin represented the face of the Butterfly Emperor!

"Have you already defected to Lady Butterfly Emperor?" the Soul-Devouring Empress asked suspiciously.

Ye Lin's eyes darted, then a smile slowly curled at the corners of his mouth as he held up one finger toward the Soul-Devouring Empress.

"You mean to say, you are not a servant, but Lady Butterfly Emperor's only apostle?" The Soul-Devouring Empress was shocked.

An apostle is far different from a servant; an Emperor-level bloodline Demon might have many servants, but there would only ever be one apostle!

In other words, an apostle is equivalent to the proxy of a Demon Emperor.

Ye Lin smiled without a word, his gaze toward the Soul-Devouring Empress even carrying a hint of contempt.

This made the Soul-Devouring Empress even more convinced that Ye Lin must have found the Butterfly Emperor as his backer; otherwise, how would a mere human dare to be so arrogant?

"Since you know my identity, there's no need for me to teach you what to do, is there?" Ye Lin coughed twice and, following the Soul-Devouring Empress's lead, spoke coldly.

"Yes..."

A look of humiliation flashed across the Soul-Devouring Empress's face, then she bit her rosy, crystal-clear lower lip and knelt on one knee before Ye Lin.

"Soul-Devouring Empress, Yue Qi, greets the Apostle."

"Holy crap!"

Ye Lin was startled; this Soul-Devouring Empress really had an active imagination—she had actually imagined herself into kneeling.

"Apostle, what is wrong?" the Soul-Devouring Empress asked, puzzled.

Servants of Emperor-level bloodline Demons could stand on equal footing with Imperial-level bloodline Demons, and upon seeing an apostle, Imperial-level bloodline Demons were required to kneel and pay respects.

"Nothing, you go back; I must leave now! The damned humans of Bajin City took the Eternal Cube, and I must return to the human world to retrieve it! The Origin Ancient Artifact belongs only to the great Demon race!"

Ye Lin's gaze was incredibly firm, as if he were ready to sacrifice himself heroically for the Demon race at any moment.

"Respectfully sending you off, my lord! May you achieve success!" The Soul-Devouring Empress Yue Qi bowed respectfully, the Mariana Trench-like cleavage fully exposed before Ye Lin, making his Adam's apple bob uncontrollably; he almost didn't want to leave.

"Ahem! Right, time is of the essence; I shall go retrieve the Eternal Cube for the Demon race now!"

Ye Lin rose to leave; Bai Siu hadn't lied to him—this trip really was full of thrills but no danger.

No sooner had Ye Lin left than the Soul-Devouring Empress, as if having received some news, suddenly frowned.

"Stop!" the Soul-Devouring Empress shouted sharply, her eyes cold.

"Audacious! Do you not know who I am?" Ye Lin turned back with a straight face.

"I don't know who you were before, but you are about to be a dead man!"

The Soul-Devouring Empress was both ashamed and furious; she had actually been led around by the nose by a human—it was simply outrageous!

If not for the news coming from the Butterfly Emperor's side, she would still be kept in the dark by Ye Lin.

Realizing the Soul-Devouring Empress had sensed something was wrong, Ye Lin didn't waste words and immediately attempted a space jump to escape.

But the Soul-Devouring Empress raised her fair, jade-like hand and grabbed at the air; the space around Ye Lin became as viscous as a swamp, and he couldn't move an inch.

"Damn it!"

Ye Lin immediately activated Burning Reincarnation and Dance of the Instant; his agility instantly reached a terrifying 40, 00 points!

Ye Lin kicked off the ground with all his might, shooting out like an arrow from a bow; he absolutely could not be trapped by the Soul-Devouring Empress, or he would truly have no chance to escape.

But as fast as he was, the Soul-Devouring Empress was faster.

"Dark Barrier!"

"Daring to deceive me, today you won't be able to fly away!"

Accompanied by a sharp cry, darkness as deep as ink eroded toward Ye Lin, spreading in all directions and quickly enveloping the entire Bajin City.

Seeing the range of the Dark Barrier growing larger, Ye Lin felt increasingly anxious.

If he were truly enveloped by this Dark Barrier, he would become a turtle in a jar just like last time.

But even if he wanted to break the deadlock, where would he find a way? What exactly did that one finger Bai Siu held up mean?

"Could it mean... forget it, treat a dead horse as a living one!"

Ye Lin's gaze was fixed firmly on the Soul-Devouring Empress.

"Give me a forbidden spell capable of defeating this Demon before me!"

Ye Lin directly used his only opportunity to create a self-made forbidden spell.

【According to your request, a forbidden spell is now being generated for you.】

【Forbidden Spell: Dual Operation of Joy and Emptiness: The Forbidden Spellmaster ignores level gaps, detonating the fire of desire within themselves and the designated target, causing both to enter a temporary state of dazed confusion.】

【Confirm generation?】

Ye Lin: "......"

His mouth couldn't help but twitch; so the meaning of the finger Bai Siu held up was to go all the way?
