Then it wouldn't be illegal. You wait for me properly on the outside, okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the teleportation array activated, Ye Lin flashed a pure smile at Bai Siu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Siu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the Eternal Cube, I can turn into an adult!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s useless. With the Magic Contract in place, if I don't let you change, you can't! Hehehe!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Siu gasped, her eyes filled with terror; she seemed to want to say something more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The aura of the Eternal Cube has suddenly disappeared?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul-Devouring Empress’s purple eyes were filled with suspicion and uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speak! Where did the Eternal Cube go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul-Devouring Empress shouted sharply, casting her gaze toward Ye Lin, the only living person left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s you? Shouldn't you be staying with Lady Butterfly Emperor right now? Why are you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the Soul-Devouring Empress’s interrogation, Ye Lin raised an eyebrow and spoke coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Ye Lin, act as I please throughout my life; why should I explain myself to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Soul-Devouring Empress was startled at first, then began to size Ye Lin up with suspicion and uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere level 54 human—why would he dare to speak to her in such a tone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that this guy had already defected to Lady Butterfly Emperor and become her subordinate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, every word and action of Ye Lin represented the face of the Butterfly Emperor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you already defected to Lady Butterfly Emperor?\" the Soul-Devouring Empress asked suspiciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean to say, you are not a servant, but Lady Butterfly Emperor’s only apostle?\" The Soul-Devouring Empress was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, an apostle is equivalent to the proxy of a Demon Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin smiled without a word, his gaze toward the Soul-Devouring Empress even carrying a hint of contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Soul-Devouring Empress, Yue Qi, greets the Apostle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin was startled; this Soul-Devouring Empress really had an active imagination—she had actually imagined herself into kneeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apostle, what is wrong?\" the Soul-Devouring Empress asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin’s gaze was incredibly firm, as if he were ready to sacrifice himself heroically for the Demon race at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem! Right, time is of the essence; I shall go retrieve the Eternal Cube for the Demon race now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin rose to leave; Bai Siu hadn't lied to him—this trip really was full of thrills but no danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had Ye Lin left than the Soul-Devouring Empress, as if having received some news, suddenly frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\" the Soul-Devouring Empress shouted sharply, her eyes cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Audacious! Do you not know who I am?\" Ye Lin turned back with a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know who you were before, but you are about to be a dead man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the news coming from the Butterfly Emperor’s side, she would still be kept in the dark by Ye Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing the Soul-Devouring Empress had sensed something was wrong, Ye Lin didn't waste words and immediately attempted a space jump to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin immediately activated Burning Reincarnation and Dance of the Instant; his agility instantly reached a terrifying 40,000 points!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as fast as he was, the Soul-Devouring Empress was faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dark Barrier!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daring to deceive me, today you won't be able to fly away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the range of the Dark Barrier growing larger, Ye Lin felt increasingly anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were truly enveloped by this Dark Barrier, he would become a turtle in a jar just like last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even if he wanted to break the deadlock, where would he find a way?
