Chapter 89 - Golden Crow (1/2)
”Since Canghai's back, then the day after tomorrow. At the day of Hundred Year Region Ceremony!”
Hearing it, Wang Lei smiled and said, ”Very well, then we shall leave for the Golden Crow. Of course, I will be going too.”
Hearing it, Caiyi was surprised. She cutely looked towards Wang Lei, ”Why would Big Brother want to come? Caiyi will take care of everything. Big Brother does not have to bother himself with such a little matter”
Wang Lei smiled and ruffled her hair, ”I have some matter to settle with Golden Crow. So, I will also come with you.”'
Seeing Wang Lei not giving up, she also did not say anything. She just leaned back a little on Wang Lei's ċhėst and enjoyed his petting.
She did not know why, but she felt ȧssured near Wang Lei. As if all her troubles would just wash away if he is near her.
Canghai was still dumbfounded as to how Wang Lei subdued their Demon Empress. She has never let any man near her in these hundred years. From this, one could tell that she did not enjoy the company of any other partner.
But now, the same Demon Empress that would kill anyone who stood in her way was enjoying Wang Lei's petting. She never looked this defenseless and girlish before.
He hurriedly shook his head.
'What a fearsome person! He even subdued Demon Empress.'
Jasmine, seeing Caiyi sitting on Wang Lei's ŀȧp and enjoying his petting, was feeling jealous, but she did not let it show on her face.
She still had her pride as a princess of a King Star. She would never admit that she is jealous of someone. Especially if that person is weaker than her.
”Well, should we go to Golden Crow then?”
Hearing Wang Lei's question, Caiyi nodded.
Wang Lei smiled and looked towards Jasmine, ”Come here.”
She listened and came close to him.
Wang Lei took her, and Caiyi hand, taking a step, vanished from where he was.
---
When Wang Lei took a step, all Jasmine and Caiyi saw was that everything around them slowed down.
It slowed down to a level that it felt like time was stopped, but they could tell that time was still working and has not stopped.
Then the next thing they saw was everything going back to normal, but they were no longer in the same place they were before.
Now, they stood in from of a massive barrier.
Caiyi was astonished at the speed that Wang Lei displayed. Just a second ago, they were at the throne room, and the next second they were at Golden Crow Lightning Flame Valley.
Jasmine was also astonished. Her Heavenly Slaughter God's power provided her with tremendous speed, but she has to admit that in front of Wang Lei's, she looked like a child trying to show her meager skills.
”How are you so fast, big brother?” Caiyi could not help her curiosity and ask. She was wondering if it was a profound art.
Wang Lei hearing her, had one hand on his chin, in a thinking position. He was thinking about how he should explain.
”Well, all you need to do is run. And keep running. One day you will become the fastest runner.” Wang Lei said.
Caiyi and Jasmine became quiet. They were wondering the same thing if running made you this much faster than most of the mortals should have been faster than them at this point.
”Anyway,” Wang Lei said and looked towards the Golden Crow Lightning Flame Valley and said, <Open>
With the fall of his voice, an entrance opened in the barrier in front of them.
Caiyi was looking at it with wide eyes, while Jasmine just shrugged. She was used to Wang Lei's magical means at this point.
Wang Lei also did not explain and started to walk inside.
Just as the name suggests, the inside was filled with flames and thunderclouds, from which purple lightning kept falling.
The whole place was filled with a dense elemental aura. It was a perfect place to cultivate. Since Blue Pole Star was inside <My World>, its elementary density has already increased a lot.
But here, it was double than one could find outside.
Soon, they arrived in front of a cave. It was not a deep one, but just an ordinary cave.
Caiyi knew this place as this was the place where the soul of Golden Crow resides.
As they stood in front of the cave, two golden eyes opened above the cave. An unknown pressure drops on them, but Wang Lei and Jasmine where nonchalant while Caiyi was protected by Wang Lei, so they did not feel anything.
The eyes gazed at every person; it stopped on Jasmine for a second, then on Wang Lei.
After a moment of staring at Wang Lei, everyone heard a noble voice, ”Why would a dragon visits this one?”
Wang Lei smiled and said, ”Nothing. Just wanted to chat with you.”
Golden Crow's eyes narrowed as she said, ”What would you want to talk with me, Dragon?”
”Our talk can wait. For now, you should listen to my Caiyi here.”
Caiyi had blush crept on her face, listening to Wang Lei calling her. But then, feeling Golden Crow's eyes fell upon her, she straightened up and bowed.
”It is this empress honor meeting Sir Golden Crow.”
Hearing it, a chuckle left Wang Lei's mouth. Caiyi was confused and looked towards him.
Smirking Wang Li said, ”It is she, not he.”
Jasmine also had a smile on her face.
Caiyi became astonished hearing him. Well, it was not her fault. Golden Crow's voice was just that deep and low pitched that one would think that she is he.
Golden Crow's golden eyes hanging were quietly gazing at Caiyi. If she had a face, then it will definitely be a cramped one.
She had deepened her voice on purpose. She thought it was more intimidating. But now, she was wondering if she should just use her real voice.
Caiyi became flustered. She hurriedly bowed and said, ”Please forgive me. I did not know it!”
After a moment of silence, Golden Crow said, ”No need. This one does not care about genders. Now tell me, what is that the descendant of Demon Emperor asks of this one.”
Since Caiyi possessed Golden Crows Bloodline, Golden Crow could tell that she was the descendent of Demon Emperor.
”This empress requests your Bloodline.”
Caiyi said but was instantly rejected by the Golden Crow, ”Impossible. My Bloodline has a pure yang element in it. Women, who have pure yin cannot attain my Bloodline.”
Hearing it, Caiyi was shocked. She did not know that one male could inherit the Golden Crow Bloodline. She gritted her teeth. She needed Golden Crows Bloodline if she wanted to consulate her rule over the Illusionary Demon Realm.
But now, her hopes had shattered.
”You do not have to worry about that. Just give me one drop of your blood essence.”
Suddenly, everyone heard Wang Lei's voice. Caiyi had hopes of hearing him. She did not know why, but she felt like if it was Wang Lei, then he could do something about it.
Golden Crow curiously looked toward Wang Lei and said, ”And what can you do Dragon. Just as this one has said, only male can inherit this one's Bloodline.”
Wang Lei waved his hand as he said, ”As I said, you do not have to worry about that. In the first place, you are female. Since you are female, then how can other females not inherit your Bloodline?”
Golden Crow wanted to rebuke, but Wang Lei spoke again, ”Just give it already. We are busy people and not like certain someone who spends their whole day in a cave. We got lives.”
Everyone became quiet as Caiyi and Jasmine became a wide mouth. This was Golden Crow. A divine beast! Not an ordinary beast, but a real full-fledged divine beast.
And Wang Lei was talking like he did not give a shit whether the one he was talking is divine beast or not.
”You have some foul mouth, but I cannot blame you, seeing as you are a dragon. Well, I would like to see what you can achieve with this one's noble blood.”
After saying it, Golden Crow passes a drop of blood essence to Wang Lei. Talking about the blood drop, Wang Lei used <Analyze> on it.
***
A drop of Golden Crow's Blood Essence:
It grants the user the ability to wield Golden Crow's Record of the Burning World, but due to its violent and destructive nature and the fact that it is based on extreme yang energy, females cannot inherit this Bloodline. Golden Crow is the only exception as she was born with it.

'Well, what a faulty Bloodline.' Wang Lei thought but did not say it loud.
