Chapter 479: Heart Light of the Fourth Ladder

"To think that only this many Reincarnators were found?!"

Bai Cangshu was somewhat dissatisfied; the total number of Reincarnators had always been a mystery, because Reincarnators were a type of Short-lived Species, and at every moment, Reincarnators were dying in deployed missions, while new Reincarnators were being recruited by the space.

But in a highly repressed country like Korea, according to Bai Cangshu's thinking, it was actually quite suitable for the birth of Reincarnators; even if the total population was only over fifty million, in Bai Cangshu's view, there should be no problem with the total number of Reincarnators exceeding one hundred.

"These are just the Reincarnators found through Xu Zhiyu's list. Next, I will have Chairman Lixianhou fully arrange for the March Conglomerate's channels and resources to cooperate with us in uncovering Reincarnators, and even... Artificial Reincarnators."

Li Qingzi used the distant-sounding title "Chairman Lixianhou" to address her grandfather because she felt that she was now independent of the March Conglomerate.

She controlled the portion of assets that Bai Cangshu valued most, so in order not to let Bai Cangshu develop a bad impression of her and her family, she was determined to distance herself from the Li family.

Bai Cangshu was aware of this little scheme of the woman's, but he had no interest in it.

Many of the rules in this world, ever since Reincarnators and extraordinary powers truly began to affect order, would change sooner or later.

People like Li Qingzi and Lixianhou could only be considered sharp, but they were not yet clear-headed enough.

There was no need at all to express this attitude to him, including Lixianhou's intentional sacrifice of his eldest son, kicking him out of the family, just so that Li Qingzi, who was closer to him, could hold power.

In Bai Cangshu's view, these things were all trivial matters of no importance.

From this point on, everyone should understand that power and strength are the most closely linked options.

The reason he could seize everything was because he possessed strength.

And if at this time some supreme powerhouse wanted to seize Korea, then even if these two were as close to him as possible, they would eventually lean toward the supreme powerhouse.

Conversely, he was not afraid of betrayal from Lixianhou and Li Qingzi at all; as of now, he was already vaguely one major gradient stronger than Li Qingzi.

Previously, in the battle in the Pirate World, there were still various unstable factors that led to Li Qingzi's defeat, but after experiencing these few missions, Bai Cangshu had already crossed the shackles, and his speed of becoming stronger far exceeded Li Qingzi, who had merely obtained a new Bloodline and slightly strengthened her Haki.

As Li Qingzi was speaking, she suddenly felt the hair all over her body stand on end, and granular bumps began to appear on her smooth, delicate skin due to that feeling of horror.

She looked up and saw Bai Cangshu's eyes scanning her from top to bottom; there was no lust in his gaze, only a kind of assessment of a prey inside and out.

And that which made her hair stand on end was precisely the faint, lingering Killing Intent Wave.

Li Qingzi's pupils constricted; even though she had long been clear about Bai Cangshu's disposition, at this very moment, she still felt no small amount of disappointment and shock.

However, that feeling flashed and vanished; the next moment, Bai Cangshu had already turned his head and merely chuckled as he said,

"You have become somewhat slack."

Li Qingzi's chin was lifted by Bai Cangshu, and the next moment, a terrifying force that was completely impossible to resist appeared; Li Qingzi felt as if she had been lifted in front of him by Bai Cangshu just like a little kitten.

Her expression was somewhat stunned; although she had already felt before that her strength attribute did not have much of an advantage, it was completely different from this kind of overwhelming power.

This display proved that Bai Cangshu's strength attribute had likely already surpassed her own by a great deal.

Crushing.

This was the manifestation of strength being crushed.

"You..."

Bai Cangshu felt the woman's muscles tense up instantly; this beautiful body contained the strength to shatter walls and buildings with bare hands, and if she held a sword, she could even cut through a mountain peak of several hundred meters with a single strike.

He pressed down on Li Qingzi's tensed muscles bit by bit; it was not to vent lust, he was simply making sure the other party did not go astray.

"Woman, you must understand, the so-called agency, the so-called Gaoli Republic, are nothing more than a Paradise provided for my entertainment."

His fingers slid down gradually from the woman's chin until they reached the spot above her heart, which was beating violently.

Li Qingzi's chest heaved violently, her pupils dilated slightly; with Bai Cangshu's current strength and martial arts cultivation, he probably only needed to poke with force, and she would be killed...

But she could not resist, and... did not resist.

She felt the Killing Intent Wave flowing on the surface of her body; that feeling of trembling from being captured body and soul by a more powerful predator actually strangely gave birth to a sense of pleasure.

The corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably, and her eyes seemed to open slightly as well; at this moment, a certain essence within this woman was also awakening.

Bai Cangshu felt Li Qingzi's change, his brows twitched, revealing an interested look, and his fingers continued to slide downward.

But slight Footwork was already approaching.

The woman's Observation Haki was not weak; she quickly woke up from that pleasure, not understanding what had happened to her, and could only cough twice, break free from Bai Cangshu's hand, straighten her collar, and deliberately put some distance between them.

But the old butler, who was bringing various high-end fresh ingredients with the servants, still saw the flush behind Miss Li Qingzi's ears at a glance.

He hurriedly lowered his head, waved his hand, and signaled the others to retreat with their heads bowed.

In a chaebol family, such things were always common, but he did not understand why Li Qingzi, as the eldest granddaughter of the March Conglomerate, did not seem to occupy the dominant position in this relationship.

Li Qingzi continued to report on the situation of the agency's Reincarnators, as well as the stances and changes of countries around the world since the Vice President of the Freedom Federation confirmed the existence of Ability Users in a live broadcast.

But Bai Cangshu was not listening at all.

His hair was slightly disheveled, and he kept recalling the change that had just occurred in Li Qingzi.

At that moment, he could feel that this woman seemed to have something special flowing out from within; that was the truth that transcended any disguise or illusion.

At that moment, the other party's Haki, Spirit, and even Soul waves were all incomparably intense.

It could be said that only Li Qingzi at that moment was extremely vivid, like a... real 【Human】?!

Bai Cangshu was now increasingly accustomed to using words like 【Human】 and 【Woman】 to replace the other party's name when communicating, because he could not feel the specialness of most humans from the bottom of his heart.

They were just like images on black-and-white photographs, unable to make him feel a single touch.

But the Li Qingzi from just now was as vivid as a person in color.

That thing... what was it?

Bai Cangshu began to feel at this moment that he might have gone in the wrong direction; the thing called 【Heart】 was not exclusive to those Idealists.

【Heart】 did not point entirely to those noble rays of humanity.

Every human being, perhaps, had their own unique and dazzling Heart Light, who knows!

Thinking of this, Bai Cangshu's hair flew upwards continuously, and the corners of his mouth and his brows began to relax; he had unexpectedly entered the state of Transcendental Spiral Rotation passively.

Bai Cangshu simulated Li Qingzi's thought pattern from just now, and that pleasure in his heart appeared.

His eyelids drooped, as if in pleasure or a sigh; a golden luster appeared from the surface of his body. Li Qingzi was startled, looked up at Bai Cangshu, and discovered that the other party was slowly floating up from the ground.

The golden luster spread from Bai Cangshu's body like a phantom, and she was immediately enveloped within it.

At this moment, she suddenly lost her perception of the outside world; was her Observation Haki... failing?

She attempted to condense Armament Haki, but it was equally ineffective, and the strength throughout her entire body began to drain away; an abnormal sense of Weakness and fear washed over her, and Li Qingzi felt as if she saw a vast space where countless black spirits were lunging toward her.

What about Demon Power... Li Qingzi suddenly erupted with intense Demon Power, saving herself from that panic of losing all her strength.

She gasped for breath and looked at Bai Cangshu, discovering that Bai Cangshu had already landed on the ground, and that golden luster had also vanished.
