Chapter 476 - "Little Boy" (2/2)

”Yeah.”

”I can try. I'm not sure if it will show everything though.”

”That's fine.”

Hao Xuan called Fulke and Hazel over to stand guard while Ceni took charge of their party and continued to lead the remaining cultivators towards the city.

She wanted to join in as well but Hao Xuan's complete dismissal of her very existence had finally hit a nerve.

She was a princess, a Royal! And beautiful and charming enough to steal a man's very soul with a single look, yet he was treating her like a diseased dog.

Ceni stared at the backs of those four disappear into the woods with a nonchalant expression but inwardly she was fuming.

”Why am I not good enough? All I wanted was to be a little close to him, to feel his touch and his warmth like they so easily do. Why does he have to make it so hard for me?”

Her pretty face decorated with a scowl as she talked to herself before finally turning away.

The bracelet on her hand glimmered with a dim light under the night sky.

Somewhere far, far away in a secluded forest on a nameless planet sat a thin figure in an old stone building.

It looked sickly thin with pitch-black skin. Even sitting down it was over 1.5 meters tall. Flakes of black skin occasionally fell down from its body like the first snow.

Its face was inhuman. Half reptilian features and half of some kind of bird. If looked closely you would see small skeletons under him, acting as his chair. They looked human but were too small in size to be adults. At first glance, there were several dozen of them below him and hundreds more around him.

In front of him was a small pond about 3-5 meters wide. It was filled with a pitch-black liquid that was showing the scenes currently taking place around Ceni.

He was slouching over the pond with a bone in his hand, ripping off chunks of raw flesh with delight when he paused upon hearing Ceni's words.

Out of nowhere, he threw the bone which still had some flesh attached to it at the pond in anger. Biting one of his five webbed fingers, he drew black blood with which he drew a few characters on the black pond water while chanting in a raspy voice.

Strangely enough, his blood didn't mix with the water until he was done drawing the complete row of characters and then it dissipated as a new image appeared in the water.

It showed a completely different scene. A sea of lilacs overlooking a breathtaking view of peaks coming out of layers of fluffy clouds.

All the flowers were facing the middle of the field where a lady was laying down on her side. She wore a tight dress that revealed most of her slender back and legs.

She was facing the other way so her face could not be seen in the image.

”What do you want little boy? I told you before never to show your ugly face in front of me. What changed?” her melodious voice that sounded almost hypnotic came through the water.
