The Wish Of The Dragon - Chapter 126

(AN: Thanks MeriX for the donation! ???? I hope all of you enjoy the chapter! Peace out girls scout!)

“…Who is he?” Qianye Ying’er who’s waiting outside tried asking the abyssal human: “I heard that you called him Master before…” she cautiously asked them.

She’s nervous but she wanted to try if they would answer her question.

The abyssal human who heard her question had their eyes homing in on her at the same time.

Qianye Ying’er flinched but stands her ground regardless…

“Master is… absolute… the one who stood at the very apex of the entire universe…” One of them who has a monster skull on top of its head answered.

Although she already suspected this, hearing it from the abyssal human mouth still made her slightly taken aback…

“…Is he at the ?” She continues to ask.

The abyssal human shakes its head: “No… Master is… stronger than the .”

Hearing this answer, Qianye Ying’er brain went haywire. Stronger than the ?! That means that… he’s at the !? Is that even possible!

But no matter if she believes it or not, that display of strength is the truth… No wonder she can’t sense his true cultivation… it’s because she’s too weak!

She bit her lips feeling frustrated. Here she is trying to get into the but he already surpassed her miles away.

She still fell short! She feels like she’s a child thinking that just by reaching the she would’ve become the strongest already…

She thought she has already pushed herself to the limit better than anyone else! It looks like she’s still lacking in many ways…

“…Is there any way to reach your… Master’s strength or at least close to it?”

Although she asked this, she knows that the possibilities for these abyssal human answering her is close to none. Which idiot would tell some random stranger their secret just like that?

Surely they’re no different either… right?

The abyssal human look at her silently and when she wanted to say something…

“…Receive Master’s blessing… Be Master’s other counterpart… another half…” One of them answered.

“…Eh?” Qianye Ying’er let out a confused voice.

What did they mean by that? Another half? As in… his wife? So dual cultivation then?

When she thought till here, Qianye Ying’er started to ponder to herself… Meaning that if she’s able to entice him and receive his vital yang… she could be as strong as him?

Although she misunderstands some part, her conclusion can be considered right since if she’s able to receive Issei’s “blessing” then she will surely become a True God in one fell swoop.

By then, her dream to rule the isn’t a pipe dream anymore… She won’t even need to resort to the …

But… this task is probably the easiest and hardest of them all.

The easiest since all she needs is to dual cultivate with him and that will be it… but the hardest part is to entice him…

If it was any other men then she’s confident that she could entice them quite easily but as for Issei… she’s not so sure…

She’s confident with her beauty but to entice a man whose charm surpasses hers is not easy. As can be seen from his reaction when he saw her face.

If it was any other men, forget witnessing her true face, just gazing at her back is more than enough to charm them…

But this is why he’s the only worthy man who can be worthy of her! Not those men who can easily be charmed and manipulated with just a snap of her finger!

The question right now is… what should she do to get his attention? He’s impervious to her charm and she’s far weaker than him as well so she can’t force her way either…

For the first time ever, Qianye Ying’er felt like she doesn’t understand a man at all… Well, at least for Issei case that is…

She thought that all men are the same but it seems that she’s mistaken…

…

“What do you want?” Issei who sensed Nyarlathotep’s sudden movement turned around and said in a cold voice.

“Hmm, I want to hug my dear husband of course~” Nyarlathotep chuckled after being ‘exposed’.

“I already said that you’re not my wife.” Issei said flatly.

“Then… what do I need to do to become your real wife~?” She asked in a playful tone.

“…What is your real intention, Nyarlathotep?” Issei ignored her question and proceeded to interrogate her instead: “I’m already here… now what? Don’t tell me that I need to absorb the core of this universe or anything like that since I don’t sense anything else here other than the two of us… Meaning that you are the ‘core’ itself.”

“Fufufu~ correct~????” Nyarlathotep hummed with a smile. Not like it’s a secret that she tries to hide in the first place…

“And what I really want, was it?” Nyarlathotep tapped her chin with her index finger: “I already have what I want, you know? And that is you yourself, Dragon King…”

Nyarlathotep sashayed her ways towards Issei and wrapped her arms around his neck.

“There’s nothing else that interests me other than you… All I want is to have you stay by my side forever…” She whispered possessively: “If you just stay here then I won’t do anything you don’t want me to… as long as you stay here with me, I don’t need anything else…”

Her golden eyes turned pitch black before a swarm of tendrils started to emerge all around the room…

“Now stay with me, Dragon King… And everything you desire shall be yours…” She said enticingly.

“…” Issei doesn’t say anything at first before he sighed to himself: “You should know what I want the most in this world, Nyarlathotep…”

Nyarlathotep and the tendrils froze when she heard his words.

“…Your wives…” She muttered after a brief silence.

“Indeed… All I want is to return to their side. No more no less… You who have read my memories should know of this.” Issei said calmly.

“…” Nyarlathotep looks down making Issei unable to see her expression.

“…I don’t really mind if you want to stick around but…” Issei continues speaking: “You have to promise me that you will never harm my loved ones… I don’t really care if you try to do something to me as long as you don’t touch my loved ones.”

“…Oh? So you don’t hate me as a whole?” She said in a low voice.

“Hate you? No. Angry? maybe a bit… I’m wary of you but that doesn’t mean I hate you. You spared my life when we first met and so far, you haven’t done anything that will earn my hatred. Sure you trying to kill me back then is another thing altogether but…” Issei said with raised eyebrows.

Issei does resent her a bit for separating him from his wives but he doesn’t hate her to the bone that he should kill her no matter what…

She who heard Issei’s words suddenly looks up with a wide grin and immediately pushed Issei down to the bed.

“…You.” Issei narrowed his eyes at Nyarlathotep.

When he’s about to retaliate, the tendrils hold Issei in his place.

Nyarlathotep makes a happy noise before she crept closer to Issei’s chest.

She ripped open his upper clothes before licking her lips l.u.s.tfully seeing his bare chest.

She starts to slowly kiss her way down his chest… from his chest to his abs until she finally reaches her final destination which is Issei’s crotch.

“Fufufu~ it seems that your body down here is quite honest, Dragon King…” Nyarlathotep chuckled seductively looking at the slightly bulging part of Issei.

“…What did you do to me…” Issei said with a grunt. He can feel his l.u.s.t started to raise significantly the moment Nyarlathotep kisses his chest.

“Nothing much… I just increase your s.e.x.u.a.l desire…” Nyarlathotep hummed.

Her eyes stay locked on his as her fingers nimbly undo his belt and release his junior brother from its ‘restraint’.

“Hmhm~ how wonderful~… I have been dying to taste this ever since I witnessed you and your wives…” Nyarlathotep said in glee looking at Issei’s dragon rod: “Fine… I promise you, Dragon King… I won’t do anything to your loved ones… but, I will do whatever I want with you yourself~… No need to worry, I won’t harm you but I will still have my fun with you… just like right now~”

She then begins planting kisses along his rod, starting at its head and working her way down the shaft. Once she reaches the base of his shaft, she slowly licks all the way up. With her golden eyes that already reverted back, she stares into his eyes as she engulfs his whole length until her lips meet his crotch.

“Gh!” Issei flinched slightly when she started to suck on his rod like a piece of candy.

It’s been a while ever since his last release… although he hates to admit this, but it feels quite good right now…

Nyarlathotep messing with his l.u.s.t is not helping either…

Her eyes are clouded with greed and l.u.s.t. His length tastes extremely good that she might be addicted already just from sucking it with her mouth. Now she wanted to taste that white stuff that he has…

She speeds up. Issei unintentionally leans back enjoying the feeling of her mouth and throat wrapped around his length. She seems to sense him getting close because she suddenly releases his d.i.c.k, her hands replacing mouth. She strokes his shaft rapidly.

“Give it to me, Dragon King~, I want to taste your ‘essence’!” She panted, before wrapping her lips around his shaft again. She easily swallows his entire length down to her throat and since she doesn’t really need to breathe.

She felt like her mind went white briefly when his length reaches the base of her throat.

“Guh!” Issei felt like her throat and mouth change since it feels like there are multiple small hands starting to stroke his rod at the same time. The walls around her throat also started to tighten greatly until he can’t hold it in anymore.

Issei groans as white spots cloud his vision and he c.u.m into her mouth. Nyarlathotep let out m.o.a.ns of ecstasy fill his ears and she begins to swallow greedily. Still looking up at him, she keeps sucking his rod unwilling to let go… only until there is no more c.u.m to swallow that she stopped her sucking.

*Pop*

She moves her head back giving his rod one final lap. There’s not a single drop of c.u.m overflows from her seductive mouth since she completely swallows it all…

“Hmmm~ sooo tasty~” She hummed joyfully: “It’s so full of energy and lifeforce~, nee, Dragon King… How come your ‘essence’ taste so addicting like this~?” She nuzzled her cheeks on his still erect rod.

“…I don’t know how to answer your question but if you’re satisfied already then get off of me.” Issei said with a sigh.

“Satisfied? No no~, I’m far from satisfied… We still haven’t done that final step yet… the one which you often do with your wives…” Nyarlathotep wagged her index finger from side to side.

“I already told you…”

“You will only do it with your wives, right?”

“…Indeed.”

“Mhm~ I know that… but…” Nyarlathotep gaze filled with a crazed l.u.s.t: “I don’t care~”

She straddles his h.i.p.s, knees on either side of his as one hand grips his shoulder.

Nyarlathotep rocks her h.i.p.s against Issei’s erection, rubbing it sensuously against her slit. Her nether region is basically overflowing with her own juices at this point.

“If you could satisfy me just like what you did to your wives then I’m willing to do anything you wanted me to do and answer everything you want of me~” She said while licking her lips: “I will even be your slave or even your wives slave~”

“…Are you serious?” Issei narrowed his eyes at her.

“Fufufu…” She chuckled before she made a sign at her heart location…

There’s a white glowing mark shaped like an “X” before an ethereal chain wrapped itself around her body. It looks kind of similar to the chain that bound Jalter and Jeanne before…

“There… now do you trust me?” She made an amused smile while inserting a piece of parchment that is made entirely of black miasma into his chest.

This way, Issei can activate the contract whenever he wants if she were to go against her words just now…

“…No. For all I know then you wouldn’t die even if that contract activates itself.” Issei said flatly: “And perhaps you could erase it whenever you want.”

“So cautious… Although I like that side of you~… I just can’t wait anymore~”

Her pink tongue run over her lips as she grasps his rock-hard member and guides it to her nether lips.

*Sllsh*

Her mouth hangs agape in a long m.o.a.n as she slowly impales herself on him, arching her back and thrusting her b.r.e.a.s.ts further forward into his face.

Issei can see her savor the moment, one hand still on his shoulder while the other rubs her stomach.

“…What is this… feeling… I have never felt so… full.” She gave a heated sigh feeling his rod inside of hers.

Issei gritted his teeth because she’s so tight… the walls that are enveloping his member down there also had the same feeling when she’s sucking him…

“Good… this feels good! This pain! The tingling that I’m feeling right now! This feels great!” She laughed with joy.

She felt pain because this is obviously her first time but it doesn’t bother her in the slightest… if anything she loves this pain she’s currently feeling right now.

Then again, she has no definite form in the first place… not after she transformed into ‘Nyarlathotep’…

She starts to move, rocking her h.i.p.s against his before lifting, almost completely withdrawing Issei from her before she drops back down with a m.o.a.n. She begins a steady rhythm with an entranced look on her face…

“Hummm~, no wonder you and your wives often do this~ it feels sooo… damn… good!” She said jubilantly: “If you could make me feel this good all the time then I would really do whatever you want me to do, Dragon King!”

Her face glows in excitement while still not forgetting to move her h.i.p.s… her full b.r.e.a.s.ts and perfectly shaped butt bounce hypnotically with her lewd movements as she tosses her head back.

“…’Would’?” Issei caught onto her words with narrowed eyes.

So that means she was indeed tricking him just now…

“Tee hee~, busted?” She stuck out her tongue mischievously.

“You…”

She suddenly slammed her butt down real hard that it shook the entire bed along with her surprise attack.

“Tsk!” Issei grunted at this since he wasn’t prepared.

Nyarlathotep’s breaths come in ragged gasps, her hair suddenly falling forward and covering his chest as she leans forward, pressing her forehead to his while locking their eyes with each other.

“No need to worry, I meant what I said…” She whispered seductively: “In exchange for this pleasure, I am willing to keep my words to you~”

She put her index finger on Issei’s chest before continues speaking: “That contract is quite real… Well, to a certain extent and only if you could satisfy me that is~”

“…Fine. Have it your way, .” A huge amount of power surges out from Issei’s body the moment he entered his mode.

Even Qianye Ying’er who was outside the black hole can feel the surge of power Issei currently emitting.

She shuddered greatly feeling this… immense power that couldn’t be described into mere words!

“How powerful!” She shouted incredulously.

She felt so small in front of this power surge… unbelievably small…

She almost fainted just coming into contact with this aura.

She knelt on the floor having trouble breathing properly…

‘Why did he release this kind of strength now?! Was there something inside that black hole that could threaten him to such extent!?’ She thought direly in her mind… If there is indeed something that could threaten him then her life will end soon as well.

As for Nyarlathotep… her eyes went wide open when she saw Issei used his .

Issei’s white hair turned pitch-black while his eyes turned more sharp and enchanting. His ears also become slightly elongated. But this time he doesn’t expose his Dragon wings and tail.

Before she could properly react, Issei breaks free from his bindings and immediately put both of his hands on the side of her h.i.p.s and then he immediately pushed her down with all his strength while he trusts his lower body upwards!

“…!!!” Nyarlathotep felt like her entire mind just went blank from the sudden jolt of pleasure that just hit her… She couldn’t utter any sound at all and only had her mouth wide open while her saliva started to pour out from her mouth.

She nearly passes out from the sheer pleasure she’s currently experiencing…

Her nails subconsciously dig into Issei’s chiseled chest as the thrusts become more forceful…

“Dr…ago…” She still had trouble getting her words out while her eyes started to roll upwards to the back of her skull.

Issei can feel his own release rapidly approaching and redouble his efforts, the sounds of their clashing flesh against each other resounded loudly and clearly within the empty room…

Thankfully Issei managed to close his connection with the or the three little girls might witness something inappropriate as their beloved elder brother and ‘father’ plow his way through on Nyarlathotep’s lower region.

After a couple more thrusts, Issei then wrapped his arms around Nyarlathotep’s willowy waist and tightly hug her body against his before he gives one final deep thrust…

*SPLUURTTTTT!!!*

Nyarlathotep’s body arches and stiffens, a strangled m.o.a.n drew from her as he releases deep inside of her greedy snatch… She can feel her own walls tighten, drenching both of their lower body in her fluids as her tongue lolled out of her mouth.

Even after a good while, Issei ejaculation still doesn’t stop…

“A… Aghhhh… irresistible… yes… YESSSSS!!!” She wailed loudly while her expression is completely lost in carnal desire: “So good! This feels so GOOODDDD!!!” She releases her own aura to match Issei’s and only then she managed to get her thoughts back… well, some of it at least…

Qianye Ying’er finally fainted dead away when she’s exposed to not only Issei’s aura but Nyarlathotep’s as well.

Event the Abyssal human had trouble to stand properly needless to say about her who’s the weakest here…

By letting herself go like this, Issei’s ‘corruption’ is spreading out on her entire body even faster than before… but she doesn’t care…

‘Oooh… so this is… Defeat… it is such a sweet agony…’ She smiled to herself…

“Heheh… I am starting to understand how to interact with you… When in a clear stream, follow its pure and simple path… and enjoy it to the fullest… You are truly an extraordinary being, Dragon King… strengthened by many bonds which you share with your loved ones… Dragging such an extraordinary being to the depths where I reside would be the ultimate celestial pleasure… Let us race to see who will give up first. I so desperately wish for you to overcome all my wickedness, Dear husband~.” Nyarlathotep said while caressing Issei’s face.

“Just as I promised before… I will never do anything towards your loved ones… but… I will do everything within my capabilities to drag you down~” She said grinningly.

“You can try… but you won’t be able to succeed. And that wasn’t the only thing you promised me before,” Issei gives her a flat look.

“Ara? I never thought that you are the type who would bother with such small details? But this feeling, I have to say… How stupendous~” She said with a long sigh feeling how full she is right now: “Now, Dragon King… Let’s enjoy a leisurely, languid, loving day together~”

She started to move her h.i.p.s once again despite the numbness she’s currently feeling down there.

She kind of like this numbness and ecstatic pain she was experiencing…

“Hmph, since you lied to me before then I don’t see why I should satisfy you again.” Issei snorted at her before teleporting his body away from her.

“Awwhh~” She longingly looks at her new ‘toy’ that could bring her so much pleasure: “But I still want more~”

“…Stop looking at my crotch as if it’s a piece of candy.” Issei said speechlessly. And her current expression looks extremely similar to Nyaruko when she’s being upset… It looks like they’re indeed mother and daughter for that matter…

Since they’re basically one already, there’s not really any benefit for them both other than pure pleasure.

“Humm, cheapskate… How about we include Nyaruko next time?” She said as if it’s a great idea.

“No.” Issei denied without hesitation. What a joke… even though Nyaruko’s real age is in the billions already, her body and mental age are still just like a five years old…

“If you’re bothered by her tiny body then I could make her grow to an a.d.u.l.t~,” Nyarlathotep said while clinging to Issei from behind.

“Still no.”

“Hmm, aren’t you supposed to be her father? You don’t want to see her happy?”

“…”

Issei chooses not to respond to her words since it will be a pain in the ass to properly explain it to her…

Issei then reverted back to his previous form.

“Then I believe our business here is done.” Issei said while giving the room one last look.

“Hmm, you could say that…” She said lazily whilst still clinging onto his body.

“…Stop clinging to me.”

“So cruel~ after you had your way with my body now you want to push me away~”

“…”

Issei once again ignores her and after a few moments, he exited the black hole…

Nyarlathotep who saw this smirked lightly before she too follows after Issei… but not before she took something from the corner of the bed…

…

When Issei comes out from the black hole, he saw Qianye Ying’er being unconscious on the ground.

It looks like she’s affected by his and Nyarlathotep’s aura just now. If it wasn’t for his protective aura then she might’ve died.

“Master…” The abyssal humans greeted Nyarlathotep.

“How about you bring them with you, Dragon King? Not like they have anything to do here anyway.” Nyarlathotep said nonchalantly.

“…They’re your servants. It would be a bother if they started to go on a rampage on your command.” Issei said flatly.

“Hmm… Listen, from now on, he is your Master, not me.” Nyarlathotep pointed at Issei.

“Oi…”

“…We understand.” The abyssal human looks at Issei before they nodded at the same time.

“There… problem solved,” Nyarlathotep said with a smirk.

Issei could only sigh at this and decided to just pick up Qianye Ying’er body… he doesn’t carry her in a princess carry but he just carries her like a bag of potato sack on his shoulder.

…

When Qianye Ying’er is awake, she found out that she’s already outside the .

Before long, an old man comes to her location.

He’s an old person who seemed particularly aged. His height was no taller than around six feet and he had a crooked body. Furthermore, his whole body was dried-up like a corpse that had been exposed to the sun in a desert. He was dressed in gray clothes that were clearly too baggy for his frame and were so utterly worn-out that they only barely served their purpose.

“Miss are you alright?” The old man asked with a frown seeing that Qianye Ying’er doesn’t have her mask on and her outfit is also different from the one she wore before she goes in.

“…I’m fine.” Qianye Ying’er said after a bit of silence.

She had her gaze set on the … It’s as if her eyes could penetrate through the barrier surrounding it just to catch a glimpse of that otherworldly visage that has cemented its position in her mind.

“…I never get to know his name…” She said in frustration.

“Miss?” The old man muttered unsurely.

“It’s nothing… let’s head back for now. There’s something I need to tell father and you later…” Then the two of them disappeared into the void soon after…

…

Issei also finally returned to the …

It was also at this time that a boundless, resonating voice transmission that seemed to have come from a bygone era sounded within the boundless space, inside all the star realms within the Eastern Divine Region, beside the ears of every profound practitioner.

“Of the Divine Region’s forty thousand realms, Eastern Divine Region controls nine thousand. The Profound God Convention is a distinguished meeting that occurs once every three thousand years for our Eastern Divine Region. At the moment, due to a variety of reasons, even though only seven hundred years have passed since the last Profound God Convention, a new Profound God Convention is about to happen.”

Beneath this voice, the entire Eastern Divine Region seemed to have completely stilled as it sank into complete silence. Every profound practitioner raised their head high and looked into the sky.

Issei doesn’t really care about the in the beginning, but Jasmine has already said that she will be attending the convention so he probably should pay this convention a visit later on.

“This session of the Profound God Convention only had ten years of preparation. Even though it is quite hurried, its importance surpasses all the former sessions. Moreover, this Profound God Convention will be held by the Brahma Monarch Realm, the Eternal Heaven Realm, the Moon God Realm, and the Star God Realm.”

Aha… No wonder Jasmine said that she will probably have her revenge on the convention. Her target of revenge will be attending the convention as well that’s why…

“The preliminary selections for the Profound God Convention will be held inside the world of the Eternal Heaven Pearl. In five months, the Profound God Convention will begin, which marks the start of the preliminaries. two months before it begins will be its registration period and will also be when the Eternal Heaven Realm opens to the Eastern Divine Region.”

The various realms within the Eastern Divine Region were shocked once more. The eyes of numerous profound practitioners within the divine way… especially those who were still young suddenly released rays of excitement and incredulity. The sky encompassing voice had clearly stated that the preliminaries this time would actually be held within the Eternal Heaven Pearl!

The Eternal Heaven Pearl was a one-of-a-kind Heavenly Profound Treasure in the God Realm. Even in ancient times, it had been a transcendent existence. If they were able to participate in this Profound God Convention, even if they didn’t place in the rankings, merely being able to enter the Eternal Heaven Pearl and mingling with the precious aura within the Eternal Heaven Pearl would give them incalculable benefits!

Yet the overjoyed aura within the Eastern Divine Region did not persist for long. What the voice said after that was like a bucket of cold water being poured over their heads.

“During the Profound God Convention, the divine power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl will envelop the entire Eternal Heaven Realm. Due to the preparation time and the limits on the Eternal Heaven Pearl’s divine power, the scope of this Profound God Convention will be different from all previous sessions. Only those below the age of sixty with divine strength no weaker than the Divine Tribulation Realm are able to sign up for the preliminaries. The divine power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl is not one which any mortal body can bear. When the time comes, all those with profound strength lower than the Divine Tribulation Realm will not be able to enter the Eternal Heaven Realm in any way. Those who are inside will also be forcibly expelled.”

The Profound God Convention’s registration requirement being under the age of sixty was exactly the same as the previous sessions and did not fall outside of anyone’s expectations.

However, profound strength no lower than the Divine Tribulation Realm, this was a random bolt of lightning to countless profound practitioners that had been excited just a moment ago.

The previous sessions of the Profound God Convention had always been restricted to the Divine Soul Realm. In those days, every session would be where young profound practitioners flourished. Based on the contests between those young profound practitioners, it was easy to see the future strength of their star realm’s comprehensive strength.

But this time, the registration threshold had suddenly risen a great realm!

Yet the sixty age limitation had not changed one bit.

What kind of a concept was the Divine Tribulation Realm below the age of sixty? Snow Song Realm ranked in the higher echelons of the middle star realms and Divine Ice Phoenix Sect was its core sect. There, if one were to reach the Divine Tribulation Realm before the age of sixty, they would be qualified to become a high ranking disciple of Ice Phoenix Divine Hall!

Even if it were the strong upper star realms, being able to reach the Divine Tribulation Realm before the age of sixty was also a genius.

This “Divine Tribulation Realm” restriction caused the scope of the Profound God Convention to be compressed down more than a thousand times! It made a meeting of profound practitioners become a stage that only genius profound practitioners were qualified to stand on.

The girls who are currently cultivating within their respective cultivation rooms, of course, can hear this as well. Xia Qingyue and Chu Yuechan’s eyes glimmered brightly when they heard about this.

Within four, no, three months they are confident that they can break through to the .

Some might think that they’re being too overconfident but the reality is that they indeed have this capability! Both of them have a special physique and legacy.

Reaching the within three months is indeed quite easy for them both…

And their odds will just keep getting bigger with their greatest backer behind their back. And that backer is Issei himself!

“…The Profound God Convention’s top four contestants will receive grand rewards from Brahma Monarch, Eternal Heaven, Moon God, and Star God king realms while the top one thousand contestants will be granted the right to cultivate in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm for three thousand years…”

The voice transmission finally disappeared…

The phrase “granted the right to cultivate in the Eternal Heaven Realm for three thousand years” completely stunned the entire Eastern Divine Region.

At this time, a voice as gentle as water sounded beside him: “That was the ‘Voice of Eternal Heaven’ from the Eternal Heaven Realm. It is something that can be heard clearly everywhere in the Eastern Divine Region, even if it is an independent space. It was also the way the profound practitioners of various realms were notified about the previous Profound God Conventions.”

The newcomers are Mu Bingyun and Mu Xiaolan. They happen to see Issei standing in the main hall.

When Mu Bingyun and Mu Xiaolan walked in, Mu Bingyun’s eyes glistened slightly while Mu Xiaolan’s face had some tinge of red still.

“The preparations for this Profound God Convention had already begun more than seven years ago and the starting date has long since been secretly spread around. The public announcement this time doesn’t have much of a difference from the rumors. It was just unexpected that aside from the time period between this convention and the previous being only seven hundred years, even the registration requirement and the way the matches are conducted has changed so greatly. It actually borrowed the power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl. The rewards this time are also rather shocking… everything proves that this Profound God Convention is definitely not ordinary.”

She explained slowly.

“…Are you not going to participate, benefactor Ise?” Mu Bingyun asked him gently.

With his talent alone he’s probably going to be the strongest contestant if he were to participate there… a twenty-four years old peak level !

If anyone were to know of his talent then they would become amazed without a single exception… Even if they’re someone from the higher-ranked star realm.

Except for a select few who have a true God legacy then there isn’t a single person could content with his talent… but even then Mu Bingyun still thinks that Issei’s current strength is not his true strength either.

“Ah? If senior brother Ise participate then he will surely able to reach the top hundred! But it’s too bad that senior brother isn’t a disciple of our or he would bring glory to our sect…” Mu Xiaolan said in encouragement but then her voice is laced with pity at the end…

She started calling Issei as her senior brother since he’s older and also stronger than her.

The Top hundred? Mu Bingyun is willing to bet that he could easily get the first rank based on her intuition.

“But Master, since the age limit hasn’t changed but the profound strength requirement is set to the Divine Tribulation Realm, it should mean that those qualified to participate in the Profound God Convention will be a lot fewer, right?” Mu Xiaolan asked.

“Not just a lot fewer,” Mu Bingyun faintly stated. “The scale of this session compared to the previous one will be reduced by at least several thousand times. There should only be around twenty or thirty million people in total who have the qualifications to enter this Profound God Convention.”

“That really is very few,” Mu Xiaolan said in a small voice. “I remember that the preliminaries alone for the last Profound God Convention totaled a hundred billion people but only around twenty or thirty million are qualified this time.”

On average, those that qualify to participate in this Profound God Convention only numbered a few thousand in each of the nine thousand star realms in the Eastern Divine Region. It was no doubt that a majority of this number would be the most concentrated within the upper star realms and then the middle star realms. Even though the lower star realms were the most numerous, the number of qualified participants they had was extremely few.

If that was the case, then it was obvious what kind of level the Eastern Divine Region’s young generation, who qualify to enter the Profound God Convention were at.

Since it was in the God Realm, even the weakest among them would be an absolute elite within the young generation.

“Even though this restriction is harsh and unprecedented, its enticement is just as great. Just the field for the preliminaries being inside the Eternal Heaven Pearl which lets the competitors bathe in the divine power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl is enough to make one unable to refuse. Those who qualify are bound to be looking forward to it and those close to the qualifications are also bound to be doing their best to cultivate to meet it.”

“I see…” Issei nodded slightly at her explanation: “I won’t be participating but I might make a visit the convention to sightsee.”

Mu Bingyun’s gaze slightly rippled as she looks at Issei… will it really be just a simple visit?

Issei who realized Mu Bingyun’s gaze flashed a thin smile… she’s really quite sharp, Issei thought to himself.

Mu Bingyun who saw Issei thin smile at her blushed ever so slightly… but both Issei and Mu Xiaolan don’t realize this.

“What kind of a place is The Eternal Heaven Divine Realm?” Issei proceeded to ask.

“…The Eternal Heaven Divine Realm is the core world within the . The is one of the seven great Heavenly Profound Treasures from the Era of Gods and is also the only Heavenly Profound Treasure known to the God Realm presently…” She took a deep breath to regain her composure and then gave Issei a deep look because the second Heavenly Profound Treasure had already appeared and was the Sky Poison Pearl in his body.

What she didn’t know was that Issei also had two more Heavenly Profound Treasure… the and the dreaded .

The humongous God Realm only had one Heavenly Profound Treasure yet Issei alone held three!

Sure the second one is not really a ‘treasure’ but it’s still ranked second nonetheless… and that said ‘treasure’ is the very same tiny troublemaker that they saw recently! Nyaruko might have a humanoid body but that doesn’t mean she’s incapable of utilizing her power.

After all, Issei did guide her to control it and also put a seal on it so there won’t be unforeseen circ.u.mstances that will make her lose control anymore…

If Mu Bingyun were to know of this along with his other countless treasures that are equal or even more powerful than the Heavenly Profound Treasure then she might faint out of sheer shock…

“Out of the seven great Heavenly Profound Treasures, the is ranked fourth below the , the and the . The Eternal Heaven Realm’s original strength was only average. It didn’t have the supreme inheritances the Moon and Star God Realms possessed, yet it still became one of Eastern Divine Region’s four great king realms after obtaining the Eternal Heaven Pearl. Moreover, its total strength and prestige exceed that of both those realms.”

“The Eternal Heaven Pearl’s strength lies in its own self created time-space that possesses an almost entirely independent law of time and the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm is precisely the core world that has its own independent time law. Only one day will pass in the outside world if one cultivates inside the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm for three years!”

“Oh?” Issei had his interest piqued at this.

If he could stay for one day inside the pearl then maybe he could recover completely? But… will it be that simple? Can the pearl even affect him at this point?

After all, Issei himself can do the same thing just like it…

Nevertheless, he could give it a try later on… maybe he should participate in the convention after all? He can just forfeit if the pearl is proven to be of no effect for him later on…

“But of course it wouldn’t be limitless.” Mu Bingyun lightly shook her head seeing the intrigued expression of Issei. “The Eternal Heaven Orb’s divine power isn’t completely endless. It has to maintain the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm’s independent time-space and that requires an enormous amount of energy. The current God Realm isn’t like the God Realm back then so its self-restoration ability naturally couldn’t be compared to back in the Era of Gods. As a result, the Eternal Heaven Realm has always been extremely careful whenever they use the Eternal Heaven Pearl’s divine power. They would never try to go over its limits and very rarely would they allow those from other realms to enter the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm.

Issei who heard this feels a little disappointed… it looks like it indeed won’t be that easy…

The amount of energy he needed to absorb perhaps would make that said pearl become a dud later on… and it probably won’t even fully heal him either…

But oh well… he will give it a better look later on.

“This time, however, they have actually announced to the entire Eastern Divine Region that they are going to allow the top thousand contestants to enter the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm to cultivate for three thousand years… that time span is probably close to the limits of the Eternal Heaven Pearl’s divine power. This kind of generosity has never been seen before in the entire history of the Eternal Heaven Realm.”

Mu Bingyun’s crescent brows knitted as she muttered, “Those able to rank in the top one thousand out of the entire Eastern Divine Region will undeniably be the divine region’s future hegemons. They will all possess extremely high innate talent and a boundless future. Bringing them into the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm so they can cultivate for three thousand years is bound to bring up a thousand peerless experts… and once they exit the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, roughly three years will have passed in the outside world.”

“It is such a hurried and abnormal Profound God Convention yet it doesn’t hesitate to pay the price for the Eastern Divine Region to bring up a batch of powerhouses,” Mu Bingyun exclaimed. “It looks like something shockingly huge really will happen in the God Realm soon… Moreover, it is not something related to just a one-star realm. Instead, it is a huge matter that requires the entire God Realm to face it together.”

Issei who heard this remembered what Lieyan told him before… it’s most likely the ‘calamity’ that would befall this universe…

[Do you know of this, Nyarlathotep?] Issei tried asking Nyarlathotep.

[Hnn~?] Nyarlathotep lazy sound resounded… It seems that she was asleep just now. Not surprising because of how intense Issei was back then…

[The calamity? It’s most likely those groups of ants who are corrupted by Chaos that reside outside. When you first arrived here, they were trying to break into this universe after all] She said nonchalantly: [They also tried to lay their dirty hands on you, but of course, being a dutiful wife that I am, I protected you from the harm’s way~] She said playfully.

Those ants won’t be able to do anything remarkable either, according to her perspective that is… but if they were to successfully infiltrate the wall then it will be extremely dangerous for the inhabitants of this world.

[…Thanks.]

[…You’re welcome, dear husband~] She chuckled feeling a little surprised that Issei would thank her: [As a reward, you can just give me your ‘essence’ again later on~]

[…If I feel like it] Issei said with a sigh. If that’s all it takes to make her become obedient then… why not? It is sure as hell better than having another battle that could wipe another universe in the process…

[I’ll be waiting~] And with that, she went silent once again…

“However, the matter of entering the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm has nothing to do with our Snow Song Realm.” Mu Bingyun clearly meant that there was no one in the Snow Song Realm that was able to rank within the top one thousand… In fact, forget about the top one thousand, ranking within the top ten thousand might also be impossible.

Even if Issei did participate in it, he’s still not the disciple of their sect just like Xiaolan said… so it doesn’t really matter much.

“Well… I might not participate but the girls might though.” Issei who sensed the girls’ fighting intent said lightly.

“Them?” Mu Bingyun of course knows just who Issei is talking about.

“Although their talent is good… I doubt that they will be able to reach the in such a short amount of time.” Mu Bingyun shakes her head in pity.

If only they become the sect disciple ten years earlier at the very least… then they might become their sect ace along with Mu Feixue…

“Hmm, I won’t be so sure about that…” Issei said with a knowing look: “Well, you’ll understand soon enough.”

Mu Bingyun’s gaze turned around. She remembered that Issei is an anomaly itself…

“…Then I will wait.” She said with a thin smile.

Mu Bingyun and Mu Xiaolan then excused themselves…

When Issei saw that both of them have left, he took out a couple of hundred bottles filled with water.

The water inside these bottles is not a normal water… but it is the upgraded version of the !

Issei has already processed this water into a tonic.

It can temper and enhance a person’s strength and also talent along with their spirit!

He sends a mental transmission to the girls and created a spatial opening to their location. He instructed them about the usage of this water briefly…

The girls who received his voice transmission gasped in surprise before they smile wryly to themselves… it looks like their young master really like to spoil them a lot…

What should they do now? Him spoiling them just make them feel more and more captivated towards him…

[Big brother! Let’s go and play!] It was at this time that Hong’er excited voice resounded.

“Sure sure…” Issei smiled wryly before he went inside the .

But when he went inside, he sweated internally when Nyaruko asked him why did he cut off the connection to the a while ago…

She also said: “Mother said that father wanted to sleep with Nyaruko? But didn’t we often sleep together already, Father?” She tilted her head slightly since she doesn’t really understand.

“Ah? Hong’er wanted to sleep together with big brother too!” Hong’er chimed in while feeling jealous.

“Gege…” Bai’er doesn’t say anything else but it’s clear that she also wanted to sleep together with him…

Of course it means just sleeping on the same bed… not that kind of ‘sleeping’…

[Nyarlathotep!] Issei shouted while gritting his teeth. But all he received in return is a peal of mischievous laughter from her…

…

An unceasingly large commotion arose due to the information on the Profound God Convention relayed through the Voice of Eternal Heaven. Other than the Eastern Divine Region, the largest Western Divine Region, as well as the Southern and Northern Divine Regions naturally received the news as well. Similar large uproars arose in these three regions.

Under these requirements for this upcoming Profound God Convention, which was strangely much harsher than the past conventions, there was only an extremely small number of disciples who possessed the qualifications to participate even in Divine Ice Phoenix Sect, which was of the highest caliber in the Snow Song Realm. Furthermore, nearly all of them were from the Ice Phoenix Divine Hall. Those in the thirty-six Ice Phoenix Palaces who qualified numbered less than a hundred and all of them were at the very brink of being qualified.

The people in the Snow Song Realm who were qualified for this heavenly opportunity with the Eternal Heaven Pearl were all unable to contain their excitement. However, they were also incomparably aware that no matter how hard they were to work, it was definitely impossible for them to obtain the qualifications to enter the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm… Squeezing into the top one thousand positions of the young generation of the entire Eastern Divine Region was but an illusory fantasy for profound practitioners of a middle star realm.

Because of this Voice of Eternal Heaven, Ice Phoenix Realm lost its usual calm. A large portion of people was focused on the Profound God Convention that was going to happen thirty months later, as it would definitely be more extraordinary than usual.

“Master, what do you think of senior brother Ise said?” Mu Xiaolan asked. It’s been a week ever since their previous conversation and now they’re about to visit him again.

“I’m not so sure either… but I have a feeling that what he said will indeed come true.” Mu Bingyun said softly.

Standing in front of the main hall, both of them subconsciously took a deep breath…

But when they step inside, they didn’t see anyone in the main hall. They are wondering if Ise and the other girls are currently cultivating when they heard a small whispering sound…

They look at each other before they slowly walk towards the source of the whispering sound.

They can’t really understand what this voice is saying but they can tell that it is the voice of Ise.

When they arrived at the source of the sound, they become stunned…

They can see that all of the girls are gathered in one room while Issei is sitting lazily in a chair.

He’s holding a smoking pipe and the whole room is filled with reddish-white smoke which came out from that very same pipe.

Now that they’re here, they can clearly hear his voice but they cannot understand a single word he is muttering right now.

Esdeath, Altair, Sirius, Zin, Naru, Xiaotao, Lieyan, Su Ling’er, Huan Caiyi, and Feng Xue’er is also standing beside him.

Xiaotao is using her hands to lightly massage his shoulder while Lieyan is holding a golden scripture for Issei.

Issei is reading some sort of scripture that they can’t comprehend at all… at least in their view, while the girls seem to attentively pay attention to each and every single of his words.

What made them become further flabbergasted is the aura the girls are currently releasing… Most of their cultivation realm is already at the early stage to the middle stage! While the most talented of them all, which is Xia Qingyue and Chu Yuechan already reaches the late stage!

And then they saw one of the girls achieved a breakthrough right before their very eyes.

The girl who just achieved a breakthrough is Murong Qianxue. A bright glow enveloped her body and her cultivation rose from the 4th stage of the into the 5th stage in one fell swoop!

Issei who realized the Mu duo arrival stopped reading the golden scripture: “Hm? Well, that should be enough for today… ” Issei said while lightly tapped onto his smoking pipe.

The smoke that is currently enveloping the whole room immediately dispersed…

Xiaotao stopped her action and Lieyan took back the golden scripture…

The girls had their expression eased up and they gaze longingly at Issei before realizing the Mu duo arrival.

“We greet Palace Master and senior sister Xiaolan,” They said in unison.

Mu Bingyun could only dumbly nod back at them while Mu Xiaolan is too stunned to respond.

“Wh-Wh-What was that?! And how come all of you are already at the !?” Mu Xiaolan shouted in surprise.

The girls once again could only look apologetically at her… They can’t share anything unless Issei himself did it.

Mu Xiaolan knows this so she can only look at Issei in askance.

“Ah… it’s nothing special. It is just a scripture that I found somewhere.” Issei said nonchalantly.

“Xiaolan… that’s enough.” Mu Bingyun said lightly.

“B-But… I understand…” She said feeling deflated…

What the hell… it’s only been a week and they have already reach the … Her position as their senior sister started to become more and more pitiful to say nonetheless.

Lieyan and the others who heard Issei’s words almost laughed out loud at their Master joke… normal scripture? If a scripture left behind a True God is just a normal scripture then what about the scripture left behind by a normal God? Jibberish writing of a toddler?

Usually, when someone achieves too many breakthroughs in a short amount of time, the profound energy in their body would be in restless turmoil as a side effect… but Mu Bingyun can see that the girls’ condition couldn’t be more perfect and healthy… Even their foundation is the same.

It’s as if they have been a cultivator for years instead of just days…

This kind of cultivating method can be called outright cheating… who knows how many cultivators would do everything they can just to get their hand on this method.

Even she feels slightly jealous, to be honest…

“Can I help you with something, Bingyun?” Issei asked lightly.

“Ah? I-I’m here to give the girls their monthly allowance… and as for yours…” Mu Bingyun’s face started twitching when she remembered the amount of Issei’s purple crystals…

Then she passed a spatial ring to Issei while giving the girls their allowance at the same time…

“Oh, thanks.” Issei nodded slightly at her: “Is there something else?” Issei can sense that is not the only reason why Mu Bingyun is here.

“Um… Sect Master has finally decided that disciples of Ice Phoenix Palace can enter the in seven days. By now, all the Ice Phoenix Palaces should have received this news. At first, I just wanted to bring all of you there to cultivate but now…” Mu Bingyun said while looking at the girls feeling unsure.

Do they even need to go there in the first place? From what she has seen, even without her help, their cultivation is already increasing at a terrifying rate!

“… what’s that?” asked Chu Yueli.

“Do all of you remember the Ancient God Burying Inferno Prison I mentioned to you before?” Mu Bingyun asked back.

The girls nodded, “We do. That place has an ancient horned dragon that’s at least several hundred thousand years old and below that is the flame vein left behind by the Era of Gods…”

Midway speaking, the girls somewhat understood. “Could it be that below the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake…”

“Right.” Mu Bingyun lightly nodded. “Our Snow Song Realm also has a divine vein left behind by the Era of Gods, a cold vein that goes against the Flame God Realm’s flame vein. This cold vein is the reason for the climate of the Snow Song Realm and after a long period of time, it gives rise to the .

The power of the Snow Song Realm’s first ancestor originates from this cold vein. From the recollections the ancestor left behind in the records, it is extremely probable that this cold vein was left behind by the Primordial Divine Ice Phoenix and the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake was where it lived. If that is all true, then the Snow Song Realm ought to have been the territory of the Ice Phoenix Gods back in the Era of Gods.”

“Oh…” The girls said with a thoughtful look.

“But compared to the five hundred thousand kilometers wide Ancient God Burying Inferno Prison in the Flame God Realm, our Snow Song Realm’s Heavenly Netherfrost Lake is much smaller. It is only fifteen kilometers wide, not even ten-thousandth the size of the Ancient God Burying Inferno Prison. The cold vein is also much weaker. Once the water of the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake has been contaminated or its cold energy absorbed, the purification and restoration process takes a long period of time. Because of that, the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake is rarely opened. Even if it is the elders and palace masters, they would only be permitted to enter if they are confronted with a breakthrough.

“As for disciples, only disciples of the Divine Hall and the top disciples at that too, are allowed to occasionally enter. That is probably the highest reward bestowed by the sect. For Ice Phoenix Palace disciples, however, this is perhaps the first time it has happened. Moreover, every palace is allowed to select one hundred of their most outstanding disciples.” A complex look flashed past Mu Bingyun’s face.

“The reason for this sudden decision should have something to do with that voice from the Eternal Heaven right?” Issei guessed.

“Yes… Even if they cultivated for another thousand years, a ten-thousand-year-old expert would not make much progress. However, those peak profound practitioners below the age of sixty cultivating for a thousand years inside the Eternal Heaven Pearl would unquestionably advance many levels, giving the Eastern Divine Region a thousand more peerless experts. The Eternal Heaven Realm that rarely allowed others to get a share of the Eternal Heaven Pearl power is actually not hesitating to nurture profound practitioners from other realms, so our Song Snow Realm is also not hesitating to use the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake’s power. Even though we still do not know what’s hidden behind it, if we don’t prepare as soon as possible, it would be too late when the time comes.”

“It’s also because of the Voice of Eternal Heaven that the sect master has shifted the direct disciple selection to a much earlier date. The core reason for opening the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake in seven days is to select a direct disciple.”

Mu Bingyun finishes her explanation.

“Seven days huh…” Issei mused: “Well, Qingyue and Yuechan should be able to reach the …”

The Mu duo faces started to twitch again after hearing his words… but they don’t try to deny it since there’s already a proof for their rise in cultivation…

They decided to just ignore him for now or their heart wouldn’t be able to take it… others are trying their best to cultivate but here he is talking about cultivation as if they’re talking about cutting cabbages…

“Master, between Senior Brother Hanyi and Senior Sister Feixue, who do you think the sect master will most likely choose?” Mu Xiaolan couldn’t help but ask with great curiosity. This was also what everyone in the entire sect wondered about during the last couple of years.

The person that the Realm King selected to become her direct inheriting disciple could only be either Mu Hangyi or Mu Feixue. There were no other disciples qualified enough to compare with them… this was the general consensus of the entire sect.

“We will know in seven days,” Mu Bingyun answered. “But I believe that there is a sixty percent chance for Hanyi to chosen and forty percent Feixue. A great majority also believe this.”

She can tell that the girls most likely wouldn’t want to separate themselves from Issei so they won’t really participate in the judging test. The girls are numbered more than a hundred but it shouldn’t be a real problem.

She could just have a word with her elder sister later on…

She then said softly, “When you are in the cultivation room, remember to leave a bit of consciousness to take note of any outside movements. In order to match the opening of the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake seven days from now, this year’s Amorous Frost Dew will be granted ahead of schedule. A divine hall disciple will personally come within three days to deliver it. I will also have to cultivate in seclusion for a brief period of time during these days so I won’t be in the palace. All of you must not miss it.”

“Yes, Master. I will pay attention to any outside movements.” Mu Xiaolan grew excited once more when the Amorous Frost Dew was mentioned.

But the girls don’t share her excitement. They just received a better treasure from their young master after all…

Mu Xiaolan thought that the girls’ lack of reaction was because they don’t know anything about it, so she started explaining: “The Amorous Frost Dew is a kind of precious spirit liquid produced by the Amorous Grass. It is a dewdrop that will not solidify no matter how strong of a cold energy it is exposed to. You can drink it no matter how low of a profound strength you possess and it won’t harm your profound veins or body. In the following three days after consumption, it will cleanse your marrow and meridians. Even though it doesn’t boost your profound strength, it can permanently increase your body and profound vein’s affinity toward ice profound energy. Ice Phoenix Palace disciples like us can only receive one once a year. Being able to receive one in just three months is just too lucky.”

“Oh.” The girls nodded briefly. Increase affinity toward the ice element… Do they even need it?

Mu Xiaolan still didn’t notice their lack of interest and continued, “Since the Amorous Frost Dew is too precious and needs a really strong profound strength to keep its spiritual energy from leaking, it’s always an Ice Phoenix Divine Hall disciple who comes over to personally deliver it to each Ice Phoenix Palace. This is also a rare chance where we can see our senior brothers and sisters from the divine hall!”

“When you obtain the Amorous Frost Dew, remember to immediately consume it. Otherwise, once the seal is released, its spiritual energy will quickly dissipate.” Mu Bingyun advised.

“We understand.”

“Then benefactor Ise, if you would excuse me…” Mu Bingyun said softly towards Issei.

“Um…” Then the girls also went back to their respective rooms after they paid their greetings to Issei… Xiaolan also does the same.

“Master… There’s a living ice Phoenix in this place.” Xiaotao told Issei after they’re alone.

“Um… I can tell. It’s most likely residing within that Netherfrost lake.” Issei said.

“Will you absorb its energy just like you did to us, Master?” Xiaotao questioned.

“Hmm, we’ll see later…”

…

Time quietly flowed by and the entire Ice Phoenix City was much quieter than it normally was. All the disciples of the Ice Phoenix Palaces that had been chosen entered into a meditative state in order for the extremely rare, to the point where it may never happen a second time, an opportunity that would happen in seven days.

In the afternoon of the third day, a current of frost aura flowed toward the main hall of the Thirty-sixth Ice Phoenix Palace. Issei sensed this from inside his room.

This aura… Issei mused to himself.

It is too strong just for a messenger that supposedly going to deliver that “Amorous Frost Dew”…

And the owner of this aura is intentionally released their aura just so that only he can sense it.

Issei then calmly walks outside of his room and headed for the main hall. He shifted his gaze over to an ice pillar…

The main hall of the ice phoenix palace was filled with all sorts of gorgeous ice crystals. Wisps of gentle light spilled in from two ice windows at the sides.

An ice chair sculpted in the image of a gorgeous ice phoenix sat beneath the window and a fantastical figure was leaning sideways on it right now. Her sitting posture was lazy and casual. It was as if she was sitting inside on a fragrant couch of her own chamber. She was clad in a snow-white dress and the hem of her skirt was pulled a little upwards due to her sitting posture to reveal a bit of ankle. Her ankle looked soft, silky and so flexible it might as well be boneless. It was plump enough that it looked like it was covered in a layer of snow.

Her long hair stretched all the way to her waist and it had a kind of icy color that he had never seen before in his life. It wasn’t pure white but a l.u.s.trous white that was freckled with icy crystals and gleaming with a bit of light blue. Her hair was dazzlingly beautiful beneath the sunlight.

When Issei saw her, she had already directed her gaze to Issei.

Both of them then look at each other in silence…
