Corrupt Creations

From inside those doors, at a place that was impossible to be seen from the outside, an ethereal voice resounded, creating vibrations on everywhere around that area and reaching the ears of the Sanctuary Master, that was still kneeling at the outside.

"I need her to be in a perfect physical condition for the next time I need her."

After saying those words, the Illusive Ethereal Goddess didn't say anything else; however, Chun Meiyi's body came flying from inside that mysterious place, till she was hovering in the air, close to where the Sanctuary Master was.

"Understood. Goddess... You..."

Bang!

The Sanctuary Master quickly acknowledged her request and tried to strike a conversation with his goddess, but the doors simply closed after Meiyi had been delivered, leaving the poor man talking alone.

Without a chance to chat with his goddess, the Sanctuary Master was forced to concentrate on accomplishing her request.

The girl in front of him was unconsciously hovering in the air and there seemed to be nothing wrong with her. But with a simple look, the Sanctuary Master was able to see that her bloodline energy had been exhausted. It would take some time till she was able to properly recover, but since it was a request from the goddess, the Sanctuary Master would do everything he could to speed up that process.

However, he found out something really interesting.

According to his goddess' words, Meiyi only had to be in a perfect physical condition and knowing who she really was, the Sanctuary Master grinned, as he included her in his upcoming evil plans.

He couldn't harm her, but the same didn't apply for her relatives. With her as his prisoner, now, it would be even easier to deal with the Grand Elder Chuanli.

Seth was just lying on his bed with his eyes closed, resting his body, while his consciousness was actually having a "natural and nice" conversation with the lovely spirit that inhabited his soul space.

"I'm not forcing you to see anything... If you wanted to, you could just shut your senses off."

"Hah! As if I would do that! You're the one at fault! Why should I do something like that, when you're the one that is at fault?!"

Seth was working on purifying his Soul Essence and transforming it into that blue mist, while at the same time that he tried to controvert Lexi's baseless accusations. However, he couldn't remember when was the last time that he was able to do something like that. Lexi was a pretty headstrong person, similar to how he also was and most probably, that discussion would lead to nowhere.

"Come on... You can't expect me to live my life without doing things like that. That would be a miserable life; a life not in the least fitted for a king like me." He said those words partially joking with her, but Lexi knew what kind of king he really was.

After a few seconds of silence, Lexi replied: "Now I understand..."

Seth even stopped doing his things when Lexi seemed to have agreed with him. However, mere seconds later, he realized that he had chosen the wrong words on his last phrase.

"You're not just a normal, but actually the King of The Beasts, the King of All Perverts! Those are your real titles; titles that really fit you well. Humph!"

Seth felt really annoyed by the way she was addressing him, since he thought he had never done anything wrong, anything that was outside of the normal. He was about to enter in an even more heated discussion with her, when suddenly, he felt energy fluctuations approaching his room at the outside world.

His consciousness faded from his soul space, as he opened his eyes and stood up from his bed, in the real world. Seth didn't even need to use his Soul Sense in order for him to discover who was approaching the door of that bedroom, just that familiar aura, was enough for him to recognize.

However, Seth didn't know why she would look for him, since he thought everything had already been said. Actually, everything had really already been said, but not everything had been done yet.

Without knocking on the door, Lan Xue opened it, just to come across Seth's figure, already waiting for her there. He was standing near the bed, looking at her and waiting for what she had to say.

Seth was certain that Lan Xue had something really important to discuss, or else she wouldn't have come to visit him there. He already knew her character really well and whenever she was involved, things were very serious.

But this time, things didn't seem to be that simple. Actually, Lan Xue was not wearing the loli dress her grandmother had given her, but rather that white and blue robe the Palace Masters from the Glazed Lake Sect often used. Other than that, he had also realized that she wasn't getting her eyes off of him.

It's not like had never looked at him, but particularly in this situation, Seth felt something was really odd. Lan Xue's gaze contained a sheer amount of determination that he had never seen before. Why would she even need determination while looking at him? For what purpose did she build up all that determination? What was she determined to do?

Without giving him enough time to discover why, Lan Xue took a step forward and said: "She just told me, you could teach me how to get stronger... And even if it was a lie; even if just for getting a tiny bit more powerful... I'm willing to pay the price."

With no warnings, or even a hint that she would do it, Lan Xue proceeded to attack Seth in the only way he could never resist or retaliate. Her sect robes suddenly froze, immediately turning into tiny snow crystal flakes, that dispersed in the air in a matter of seconds.

Right in front of his eyes, right now, he was able to admire all the beauty of a snow jade crystal doll.
