Lust, like Vengeance, Demands Red 131 Defeat.

The woman's hand stopped before laying on Zhi Rui's forehead. Her eyebrows twitched. With a contorted smile she got up and looked beside her.

Bianca was smiling at her like a demoness in a wine red dress.

"The supposed lady of lust. For years, you craved to be the heiress of lust, trained and lived for that day. only for the prophecy to change and swallow your dreams whole. How doe that felt?" Loura said.

"He~ My bitter lady, It feels bad, I curse her for being blessed with what I've always strived for, I despise the way she uses her blessing, then I plan; How do I make that blessing mine? And If I can't have it. Then how can I destroy it?" Bianca said and stepped forward, her back straight and her full breasts firmly jiggling.

"In a way, we're pretty similar, except I just feel that with Zhi Rui in all my life. But you, Loure, you feel that kind of resentment every time you look at my face and remember your deformed elf. Haha."

Loura's eyes shone green for half of a second. She smiled "I thought you wanted the girl dead? Isn't she the rock on your path?"

"Ignoring when it's unpleasant like always~ Yes, she's the one blessed, but more than that, she's my daughter, and I'll protect her with my life~," Bianca said with a stern air and giggled.

Laura squinted. "Are you sure you want to let this go? The rules of each cult vary but the core is the same. You're not allowed to directly interfere with the blessed's struggles and you cannot personally kill them. Me killing her today will allow for you to become the heiress of lust in the future without issues"

Bianca looked down, more than half of Zhi Rui's hair became bright blonde.

"I need her alive," Bianca said sternly

Amidst the silence, only Zhi Rui's cough resounded in the room.

Loura sighed "Alright, but the consciousness inside of her. I need the resources of it."

"Are you negotiating?" Bianca mocked "This clone of yours is merely at the fourth level, your true self is too far away. I can crush you right here."

"But violence doesn't solve everything, or you think you won't ever need to discuss with us of Envy even more now that we have our heir,"

"An heir that I found."

"An heir that you tried to hide and manipulate us with."

Bianca sighed exasperatedly "Fine, let the ancient barbarian consume her mind. I only need the body and core, who' cultivating inside doesn't matter. you can extract the information from him with me present."

Loura smiled and they both watched as Zhi Rui convulsed on the floor, her skin became whiter her white golden, slowly her dark eyebrow started to turn gold.

But Suddenly she coughed up blood. trembling She turned her head and her wide vicious eyes stared at both women standing around her.

"I-I-I'll k-kil-" Her muscles were contracted. But she wasn't fazed by the pain of forcing her jaw to move. " M-My s-self"

Her words were sparse but her meaning was obvious.

Loura frowned "She barely has the strength to speak much less implode her core. Let her be"

Bianca's eyes were stern she stared at the wide, vicious looking, blood-shot eyes of Zhi Rui

"No, she can do it," Bianca said.

Loura squinted. "I can only extract the resources form the mind who has it. If we let her live then I won't be able to get it. the deal is a deal. Don't get cold feet."

"It's not me going back on my words, Zhi Rui will truly kill herself. Lust has a nihilistic nature of not caring by anything else than pleasure. When nothing has meaning or relevance, you can only seek pleasure. The act of killing herself is meaningless to her and easy to do" Bianca said

"But she doesn't have the strength to act on it."

"We'll benefit from her passing. That's enough motivation for her to pull it off." Bianca said.

Loura' eye slowly turned cold. "All my work to obtain some resources of Pride will go to waste. How will you compensate me?"

Bianca threw a purple storage pouch. Loura looked inside and scoffed.

"I'll take these herbs as the first payment. I'll come every three months to collect the rest."

Loura said and disapeared.

Bianca crouched down and put her hand on Zhi Rui's forehead.

"You never make it simple. you disappoint your mother like this."

Zhi Rui's bloodshot eyes grew redder. every single part of her body had transformed to something that wasn't her, the only thing left was her eyes.

But she didn't panicked. Trembling and with saliva and blood all over her face. She laughed.

Bianca stared at her eyes with a callous smirk. "Rejoice, my little girl, envy has no business here with their treasure chest gone. This barbarian land became ownerless. I could easily take for myself. But although nothing you did bore fruit nor anything you said had any effect. But I, as your mother will motivate you by rewarding your efforts. So this country is now yours. Aren't you happy, child?" Bianca said with a wide and warm smile.

Bianca looked at Zhi Rui' eyes expecting rage. But Zhi Rui had the same laughing expression.

'Mother and daughter alike I guess.' She thought.

Bianca took a pink pill and fed it to Zih Rui's mouth.

She watched her daughter eyes become hazed with maximum lust and smiled. 'Your body won't be able to stand the remnant soul of an ancient body cultivator, you'll have to evolve.'

She took out a fingernail-sized wine red core.

'You already chose two cores that strayed from my path. You won't have that luxury anymore, your body and cultivation is mine. I won't let you mess with my path.' Bianca thought

And forced the small core on Zhi Rui's chest.

Seeing it being absorbed, Bianca slowly disappeared.

Han Lee. stood irritable outside of the library. He couldn't wait for Zhi Rui to come out. But as she waited people started becoming restless, the siblings were supposed to defeat her and bring her to the people. But a half an hour passed and there was no sign of them.

He stood still looking without blinking a the entrance.

Suddenly a sigh rang out behind him.

"Boy, she won't be coming out the way you want. If you stay here you'll die."

Han Lee turned his back immediately. Loure the woman with orange eyes looked at him with a forlorn expression.

"Why?"

Loura shook her head and sighed "Your request of killing them became complicated. Bianca needs Zhi Rui alive and this body of mine is merely at the fourth level. I cannot defeat her right now. If you still want it, you'll have to come with me, cultivate and have it your way at a later date."

To her surprise, Han Lee looked at her calmly.

"Let' go then." He said.

Loura smiled. "Good, envy should take the long approach, otherwise there's only destruction."

In front of a few onlookers, Han Lee and Loura disappeared.

They reappeared again behind silver, Loura took him and Fire-heart away. more than a few hundred meters away from the scene.

Loura looked a the confused barbarian leaders and the strangely calm Han Lee.

"Your wishes were granted, but you only lived it for a year." Fire-heart and silver heard it and they heart sunk. Loura continued.

"Heaven' don't care about men. Envy has no more business here. I'll bring you back to the mainland, where you'll learn of the bigger world. And when ready, you'll be able to reclaim your land. Any objections?"

SIlver' veins bulged. "T-That Zhi Rui slut sh-"

Fire-heart slapped his shoulder. and shook his head.

A weird whistle noise rang out from Loura's mouth.

from afar in the sky, a creature descended. The three of them were trembling in fear.

"T-The golden dragon."

Fire- heart muttered

A lizard twice the size of their carriages stood in front of them. A dreaded beast portrayed as the villain in many disasters of their people. a beast that could fight off a level fourth easily.

Loure sat on its head and looked back. "Let's go"

They mounted and the lizard departed, in no moment came to their mind what would happen to their people. that was left alone.
