Chapter 157 A Stronger Backing (1/2)
In the meantime, not far away from the Gehenna Border, something was happening in the supreme headquarters of the Crimson Dragon Group in the Yi City.
A giant shadow loomed above the city. A war dragon with iridescent black-green scales slowly landed in the beast farm of the supreme headquarters. A familiar figure jumped off it. It was Marin. After she left the dragon with someone in charge of taking care of spiritual-manipulated beasts, she left the beast farm right away, unaccompanied.
Walking through several magnificent buildings, Marin finally came to a tasteful pavilion whose style was quite different from the other buildings surrounding it. It was special and unique, conspicuous among the other similar-looking structures around it.
”Greetings, Commander Marin,” four female guards standing in front of the pavilion called in unison with great respect at the sight of her.
”Is the Deputy Commander in Chief in there?” Marin asked one of the female guards, nodding out of habit.
”Oh, she is resting now. Should I go inside to inform her of your arrival?” a female guard asked.
”You don't have to. I will go in directly.” Marin waved her delicate hand. With that, she entered the pavilion with her cloak fluttering behind her.
The pavilion had two expansive floors. The decoration on the first floor was very elegant. Table and chairs made of fragrant timber were put in order along the walls; terracotta pots brimming with flowers were placed at the four corners. It was a tasteful and serene living space.
Marin proceeded to the second floor. It was full of gauze curtains that overlapped each other, the smell of incense pervading the air. Marin felt as if she was in a fairyland. At the end of the room, a white jade bed was placed aside, giving off purple smoke. On the bed, a female figure sat cross-legged. A vigorous aura of power of the spirit manipulator beyond the seventh level of the Heavenly Stage emanated from her form.
Before Marin could speak, the female figure quickly opened her beautiful eyes and parted her exquisite lips. She spoke gently, ”Marin, why are you here?”
”Greetings, Deputy Commander in Chief.” Marin immediately bowed to the female figure.
