Alone, Beautifully – Chapter 80

Your Preference (14)

“What I give you, you cannot refuse.”

As the chilling cold brushed past her back—

Xu Jiao barely maintained her stance.

She raised a hand to push away the enormous snake head on her shoulder, as if she weren’t encircled by the body of this giant snake. Her expression remained quite indifferent, and she persisted in her opinion, saying:

“No.”

“You can only choose a little blood, or nothing at all.”

Lilith heard these two sentences from her, and annoyance flashed in her eyes. She truly dislikes the saint’s stone-cold heart. Clearly, she is willing to agree to anything for this life’s identity, even if she senses something amiss in the dream, she doesn’t show any particular reaction, and continues to pamper as always.

However.

When facing her true self, she repeatedly refuses, which is really… too infuriating.

The calmer and more composed the saint becomes, the more cold and unfeeling, the more Lilith misses her earlier expressions of pleasure beneath her, a flushed face, eyes brimming with tears, and the repeated sounds of submission that are impossible to hear otherwise.

The giant snake was provoked, its body encircling the girl in the center, intending to use its massive form to directly crush her slender body. Its scarlet tongue swept across her neck and collarbone, as if warning her, or perhaps giving her one last chance.

Xu Jiao sensed an imminent outburst in the cold air of the deep mountain.

She calmly lifted her eyelids and made eye contact with the black snake in front of her. However, a golden light appeared in her palm, pure and intense, embodying the purest power of the Sun God.

The black snake, which was about to coil its body around her, was forcibly pushed back by this light—

Lilith tensed her body, the front half rising, and said somewhat angrily to Xu Jiao:

“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have extracted that magic from your body.”

Xu Jiao ignored her, directly harnessed the wind element, leapt out of her encirclement, took two steps, and then turned her head to ask: “Which direction is the cave filled with demonic energy that the pope mentioned?”

The black snake left in place: “…”

Her scales instantly bristled, and she hissed fiercely at Xu Jiao’s back, saying angrily: “Why should I tell you!”

Without offering any benefit, yet wanting to command her—what a dream!

Xu Jiao nodded calmly, completely indifferent to her bristling attitude, closed her eyes, and expanded her elemental perception range continuously, attempting to cover the boundless mountain range in sight.

She stood quietly without moving, while behind her, the black snake, infuriated, rolled around chaotically. After a while, seeing that she really didn’t come to coax her, Lilith threatened:

“Hey, do you believe I’ll let that guy out to give you a beating!”

Xu Jiao’s ears twitched slightly upon hearing these childish words. Too lazy to make any unnecessary response, she ignored her and continued expanding her perception of the wind and ice elements.

She extended her five senses outward.

The wind became her ears, the ice her eyes. In the entire world, only the undulating mountains existed. In the mountains, the plants and animals either slumbered beneath the frozen soil or hid in the shadows, taking advantage of their fur color, while above was the azure sky.

This feeling was quite magical. After opening her senses, she felt the whole world expand significantly, similar to when she was cultivating immortality in Xia Jingzhe’s world. Xu Jiao carefully experienced this sensation of being one with the world.

Until—

Her back was suddenly struck by a force.

Xu Jiao abruptly opened her eyes and looked back. Released by Lilith, the heavy gold-haired persona, little Lilith, was rubbing her forehead and then looked at Xu Jiao with great apology, her eyes wide open like a frightened rabbit.

“Honorable Saintess… I…”

The girl wanted to apologize to her, her lips moved slightly, and she uttered a few cute syllables.

Xu Jiao casually patted her head, knowing she must have been used as a sandbag, thrown out by a certain black snake to attract her attention. She said nothing, just noticed that the child’s face didn’t look very well.

She thought it might be due to the black snake’s injury, as they both are one and naturally would be affected.

The sensory range released just now wasn’t far, so Xu Jiao didn’t detect any abnormality, but she was very patient, not in a hurry at the moment. Then she simply bent down to ask the golden-haired child:

“Healing you has the same effect, right?”

The girl blinked at her, seemingly not understanding what she intended to do, and just dumbly nodded her head.

She looked naive and pure.

No one could associate her with an evil witch.

A silver light flashed at Xu Jiao’s left fingertip. Then she used her fingertip as a blade to cut open her own right wrist, bringing it to the girl’s somewhat pale lips.

The bright color, imbued with pure divine power, touched Lilith’s lips, staining her beautiful lips lusciously, as if a withered rose had gained life and bloomed once again.

In the distance, the black snake, connected to Lilith’s senses, felt as if it tasted that particularly bewitching flavor. The snake’s tail swayed left and right, yet it forced itself to resist the temptation, hoarsely ordering:

“Do not drink!”

The girl originally did not dare to take advantage of the Saintess like this. Hearing the black snake’s command, she instinctively stepped back two steps, unable to lick away the mark on her lower lip, her gaze dodging slightly. She lowered her head towards Xu Jiao and softly said:

“I cannot… Saintess, our injuries will heal soon; you need not do this.”

Xu Jiao’s right hand hung at her side, some of the bright red liquid flowing out along her wrist bone, winding to the back of her hand, then seeping between her fingers, finally dripping onto the perennially frozen soil of the ground.

Blood fell into the soil.

Before long, green sprouts pushed through the soil, swaying as they emerged. Between two green tender shoots, a small white flower bud slowly formed, then gently unfolded its petals, revealing the golden yellow stamens inside.

Miniature yet beautiful.

Seeing this scene, the black snake suddenly remembered the battle in the illusion forest with the popes. At that time, the Saintess caught the War God’s axe with one hand, and from the cracked wound in her palm, the blood that fell also nurtured a patch of beautiful flowers.

This flower was also something she had seen before during her time serving in the temple.

At that time, outside God’s residence, these small flowers were in full bloom. No one knew what they were called, only that where these flowers grew was where God resided.

A faint fragrance emitted from the petals, similar to the scent the black snake once smelled when their souls intertwined.

Very sweet.

Also very fragrant.

……

Xu Jiao hadn’t had time to say anything when she saw golden-haired Lilith looking around, her face showing a dilemma as if caught in a bind. After a while, she unexpectedly took the initiative to transform into a piece of black mist and returned to the black snake’s body.

She was like a child seeing her parents argue, unsure whom to support and not daring to mediate, simply hiding away like a little turtle, pretending she knew nothing.

Xu Jiao’s wrist wound healed quickly, leaving only a long dark red mark as evidence of her previous injury.

The black snake glanced at her and, from not far away, gave her a very mocking look, as if to say:

Ha.

The guy you care about is such a useless personality? Didn’t expect that, did you?

Xu Jiao: “…”

She casually summoned a breeze to clean the marks on her wrist completely, refraining from childishly glaring at the black snake, and continued with what she hadn’t finished doing.

The Zake Mountains are too vast, and even just wanting to know where the elements gather abnormally is not a simple task, because the temple surely did some treatment to that cave, so there may not necessarily be any elemental anomaly for her to detect.

And if walking by foot, who knows when she would find it.

Xu Jiao continuously expanded her sensing range, and after half a day, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. At that moment, she discovered a place where many monsters were gathered.

Demon wolves.

Snow demons.

They all seemed to come from that area.

She opened her eyes, ready to head in that direction.

The black snake glanced at the direction Xu Jiao had stubbornly searched for half a day, its eyes showing some mockery. After Xu Jiao had already taken a few steps, it slowly said:

“Wrong.”

Xu Jiao stopped and turned back to look at her.

The black snake lazily coiled itself, enjoying her entire day of self-reliance. Upon discovering Xu Jiao had found the wrong direction, its mood improved considerably. It no longer thought about the previous failed negotiation it had desired, and just leisurely rested its head on its body, flicked its tongue at Xu Jiao, and added:

“Not that way.”

Xu Jiao has always been adaptable, willing to bend and stretch. When it comes to matters outside of her principles, she’s very agreeable. She immediately regained her gentle tone and asked, “Then which way?”

The black snake opened its mouth but then closed it again, pondering for a while, before giving the same answer: “Not telling you, unless… you flatter me a bit.”

A bit certainly means more than just a bit.

Xu Jiao knows the nature of this black snake well. It’s not the type to stop after a small taste; it’s either nothing at all or prepare to be consumed entirely, without even bones left.

If this creature were the type to show restraint, perhaps Xu Jiao wouldn’t be so cold. But knowing the snake’s nature, she absolutely cannot relent on such matters.

Otherwise…

She would sooner or later be killed.

The movement of her thoughts was only in an instant, and in the next moment, Xu Jiao silently turned around and left, preferring to try the wrong direction rather than compromise.

The black snake saw that she truly did not give in at all, and immediately, in anger, went over and wrapped its tail around her waist, dragging her back, and righteously said:

“I am hungry.”

“You must feed me until I’m full before you can leave.”

Xu Jiao looked her up and down twice, seemingly unable to see where this creature appeared to be wanting to eat. However, this demand was not as unreasonable as before, especially since the other party was indeed injured while helping her…

After a long pause, Xu Jiao lightly sighed and said: “If you really want to eat, then I’ll think of a way.”

……

Xu Jiao found two snow rabbits.

Earlier, when leaving Snow Village, the owner of the bakery was very satisfied with her and Lilith’s work performance, so he gave them a little extra reward. Xu Jiao casually exchanged some of it for salt.

This became one of their few seasonings.

When the fire was lit, the black snake glanced at the two busy people over there. Golden-haired Lilith had somehow come out again to help Xu Jiao. The black snake, neither wanting to work nor finding anything else to do, simply stared at the small patch of grass Xu Jiao had previously nurtured, biting into the sweet flower.

This flower was not quite the same as others. Some flowers smelled very sweet, but after eating, they had the plant’s astringent taste, without much sweetness.

This small white flower is different.

It smells as sweet as it tastes. Xu Jiao noticed the black snake’s silly actions of grabbing and biting things like a pet dog, and a rare hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes. However, she did not stop it, allowing the snake to wreak havoc.

Until the two roasted rabbits were done.

Lilith and Xu Jiao shared one portion, while the black snake ate one by itself.

The roasted, juicy fat rabbit was skinned, cooked just right with only a little salt added, tasting especially delicious, particularly the rabbit leg. Xu Jiao casually ate a bit, then used a few stone pots to cook a bowl of soup, finishing half a rabbit with wild vegetable soup.

The light of the campfire was very warm, attracting some unknown monsters from the mountain forest. However, after detecting the presence of the black snake, those creatures only dared to stir restlessly under the heavy shadows of the trees, not daring to approach, and peered from afar in their direction.

Little Lilith was still affected by the black snake’s main body, eating only a few bites before falling asleep, seemingly relying on sleep to recover her strength. She leaned against the black snake’s body, her hand still holding a rabbit leg.

Xu Jiao glanced at her, and the black snake vaguely sensed what she wanted to say, then automatically took little Lilith back, coiling itself more comfortably into a ball, and asked the saintess:

“Do you want to come over and sleep together?”

Xu Jiao shook her head and, still wearing her clothes, leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep.

……

In the Zake Mountains, there is no night.

Xu Jiao was sleeping in an open area and felt as if not much time had passed before she was woken by a strange noise nearby.

She opened her eyes and saw the black snake’s tail restlessly sweeping left and right. At the same time, the snake’s aura seemed to have become much more irritable, its eyelids half-opened as it glanced at her, before reluctantly moving its tail that had disturbed her aside.

Xu Jiao closed her eyes to clear her mind and casually asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

The black snake slowly replied, “Nothing, just a little itch on my body, probably because the previous injury is healing.”

Xu Jiao did not expect that even the movement of its wound healing would be so significant.

The black snake itself did not expect this either. Its tail curled left and right, making itself much smaller, about the thickness of a finger, and ran towards Xu Jiao’s body, coiling around her wrist. It opened its mouth and bit her delicate white skin with its sharp teeth.

Xu Jiao’s eyelids did not move at all; she did not care whether it would break her skin or rely on her blood to heal.

Until she was enveloped by a burst of black mist.

The thick demonic energy wrapped around her, making it a bit hard for Xu Jiao to breathe. She involuntarily frowned, but before she could protest, the demonic energy automatically dispersed, allowing her to clearly see the current situation.

This is…

A cave.

The outside light could barely penetrate inside, and the depths of the cave led to unknown places. There was a whooshing cold wind blowing out, with the air full of surging wind and ice elements.

Even though Xu Jiao was always calm, at this moment, she involuntarily experienced a moment of confusion, not knowing what the black snake was up to.

“You brought me here for…?”

She did not feel any particularly dense demonic energy here.

The aura that made her most uncomfortable around her was that of the black snake.

She lowered her head to ask a question, only to find that the small black snake had powerlessly fallen from her wrist, then turned back into its previous huge size, instantly filling the cave, with its tall figure casting a shadow over the cave.

Xu Jiao looked in the direction of the cave entrance and smelled a…

Slightly sweet scent emanating from the black snake’s body.

She twitched her nose and involuntarily frowned, asking, “Is this… the smell of the flowers you just ate? What’s wrong with you?”

As she spoke, a record that she had come across while reading books in the temple suddenly flashed through Xu Jiao’s mind.

The legend says that when God bestow blessings upon the human world, a kind of white divine flower might appear in some places. It grows from seeds drifting from the temple, and if lovers make wishes or confessions while this flower blooms, they can successfully unite with their beloved.

Thus, in folklore, it is called the love flower.

At the time, Xu Jiao did not pay much attention to this, but now, thinking about it, could the “love” in love flower not refer to emotions, but rather… a deeper kind of connection?

What kind of high-level wild aphrodisiac is this?

Seeing Xu Jiao’s expression become complex, the black snake moved around the cave, its scales creating friction against the hard stone, producing that metal-on-stone sound, which was a bit sharp and piercing.

Suddenly, the black snake silently extended its head in front of Xu Jiao. As it made eye contact with her, its yellow eyes remained unblinking, as if it had locked onto her as prey, or perhaps was discerning her identity.

After a while, the big black snake shook its head and said to Xu Jiao in a deep voice:

“That flower is… only effective for people who have feelings.”

“Animals that eat it will not experience any changes. Ordinary humans without a beloved who eat it will also not feel anything special; it can even enhance their physique—”

“Especially since it is watered with your divine blood.”

The power contained within is difficult to describe.

So, the black snake ate quite happily, thinking that she had no beloved, only concerned with the high above, now sleeping Creator God.

Who could have thought that, during the process of feeling her wounds slowly healing, she would become somewhat restless, generating an indescribable warmth, and even finding it difficult to avert her gaze from this saintess.

Why?

How could she like this woman?

This bad, cold, and heartless woman.

Xu Jiao understood the underlying meaning in her words, and her eyebrows slightly raised before she displayed an indifferent expression, as if uninvolved: “I think this answer should have nothing to do with me.”

After all… it seems she has never done anything deliberately seductive to this foolish snake.

This stirring of the heart cannot be blamed on her.

Upon hearing Xu Jiao’s words, the black snake impatiently rubbed her tail against the stone again. It wasn’t until she discovered her whole body itching and her internal power becoming somewhat uncontrollably restless that she realized…

This was because her current form couldn’t carry too much power, so she had reached her shedding period.

She needed to transform into a more powerful body and scales.

She felt somewhat agitated, unable to describe the chaotic feeling inside her body for a moment. She felt hot and wanted to grab someone to vent these feelings, but she also knew she was a bit unable to control her demonic energy right now, and finally—

With a swing of her tail, she whipped Xu Jiao out of the cave.

The black snake used considerable strength, causing the entire cave to shake, and stones clattered down from above. When Xu Jiao was pushed into the bright area, her eyes involuntarily widened.

After she borrowed the power of the wind to stand firm, the cave behind her was already blocked by fallen stones.

The black snake had sealed herself inside to quickly get through her transformation period.

Xu Jiao raised her hand and placed it on one of the stones, wanting to know if it could be easily moved. Inside, continuous rumbling sounds were transmitted, and the wind passing through the small gaps in this barrier conveyed some messages to her.

The partition seemed to be continuously thickening, and the black snake had already gone deep into the cave’s depths, apparently not intending to let her find it.

Xu Jiao stood in front of the stone wall for a long time, her eyes lowered as she examined the wall’s thickness, then suddenly asked the system:

“What are the protagonist’s current values towards me?”

It seemed she hadn’t asked this question in a long time, but she still had some idea in her heart.

The system’s long-unheard mechanical voice sounded: “Favorability, 100; blackening value, 0.”

Upon hearing the favorability score, Xu Jiao wasn’t surprised, as she could feel it. However, the zero blackening value indeed startled her. This foolish snake had been treated that way by God, and her later experiences… weren’t good either. Lilith, as one of her incarnations, should logically share her memories. Such a thorough witch, yet, the blackening value is 0?

Xu Jiao raised her chin, a contemplative look in her eyes.

She looked in the direction of the cave and asked the system again: “I seemed to see her scales shedding a few pieces just now, but her power seemed to have become stronger again. What’s going on?”

The system wasn’t very clear initially, but recalling the related habits of snakes and combining it with the continent’s timeline, it finally spoke hesitantly:

“Is it time for shedding?”

System: “It’s said that snakes are most vulnerable at this time, because if they can’t shed their skin, it can lead to death.”

Xu Jiao then glanced again in the direction of the wall. Immediately afterward, she bent down, spread her five fingers, and placed her palm on the ground, carefully sensing if there was anything else in the cave besides the black snake that could pose a threat.

After a while, she released her hand and surprisingly sat down on the spot.

System: “Weren’t you going to find that demonic energy cave? Why aren’t you moving?”

Xu Jiao lazily replied: “This mountain range is too big. If I search in the wrong direction, I don’t know how much time I’ll waste. It’s more convenient to wait for her to come out and ask.”

Logically, the system shouldn’t have spoken again at this time, but when Xu Jiao was skillfully using various divine powers, the system unexpectedly asked: “Do you think… the protagonist of this world is the previous blonde personality or this witch?”

Xu Jiao pressed her lips together, sat with her eyes closed for a while, and then answered in her heart: “I don’t know.”

But if this point isn’t clarified, controlling the outcome is very difficult.

The little girl is pure and cute, like a daisy growing freely under the sunlight, and the most suitable path for her is to live a carefree life protected in the temple. And this snake woman Lilith?

A person like her, covered head to toe with villain tags, what is her happy ending?

The only thing Xu Jiao could think of was to help her become God, taking the career path, like Feng Qingyu from the last world, giving her a path of self-reliance and self-strength, to become God after killing the current one.

But.

Can this foolish snake really be a good God?

God must love all things, yet this black snake has a character of clear love and hate. If the Miracle Continent is handed to her, who knows what it will develop into? Xu Jiao feels somewhat overwhelmed just thinking about it.

Moreover…

She herself doesn’t know what kind of result it will be.

If God awakens, and her consciousness communicates with God, she can directly assign the blonde girl to serve in the temple. As for the true form of this black snake, she can also teach her again to see if there’s any chance to correct her.

But if she is only the consciousness of God, once God awakens, what awaits Xu Jiao is destruction.

God needs only a single thought, and her existence will be erased from this world, then completely disappear.

This means she needs to prepare two sets of plans.

……

As Xu Jiao was lost in thought, she was unexpectedly swept away by a wave of sleepiness. Initially, she thought it was because she hadn’t rested well, which made her so tired. However, when her consciousness became muddled and she fell into a strange scene, she realized that things weren’t so simple.

It was a very… magnificent hall.

She lay on a soft bed, as soft as clouds she had once pulled over. The hall’s windows were wide open, letting in the fragrance of unknown flowers from outside. Xu Jiao was just about to get up to look at this spacious place with patterned columns.

The next moment.

She was pushed down by a force, and a beautiful black-haired woman pressed on top of her, raising her eyebrows and laughingly saying: “Did you miss me?”

Xu Jiao lay in the soft bed, slowly blinking her eyes before realizing what was happening—

Her dream had been invaded by Lilith.

She raised her hand to push the person away, but the other party didn’t move at all. Xu Jiao casually pulled out the line of fate, and the light red lines wrapped around Lilith’s hands and feet, intertwining with her black hair, enhancing her enchanting aura.

Lilith, with her hands and feet bound, was still smiling, and just as Xu Jiao’s feet touched the ground, ready to leave this enchanting setting, she discovered her wrist was being held by something.

Immediately after—

The light red lines of fate, which originally climbed up Lilith’s wrists and ankles following her will, suddenly betrayed her, turning back to bind her.

Xu Jiao raised her hand to break free from this power, her expression changing, while the woman behind her entangled her like a snake, wrapping around her waist, and kissed her neck, joyfully asking:

“Guess, how can you escape?”

Xu Jiao, refusing to follow her lead, simply asked: “You rely on dream invasion to reach those popes’ locations, right? You dominate dreams and can shuttle within them, easily traveling from one place to a thousand miles away.”

Also because she possesses the demonic energy of corrosive divine power.

So when those popes realized it, it was already too late.

Lilith, hearing her words, smiled and moved to kiss the corner of her lips, wanting to praise her for being smart. However, Xu Jiao avoided the action, making Lilith somewhat unhappy. But knowing that Xu Jiao responded better to soft approaches, she could only bury her head in her neck and pitifully said:

“Alright, I missed you.”

“It hurts so much, baby, shedding skin hurts so much, help me…”

She hugged Xu Jiao, rubbing and snuggling close, and as she whispered closely, the coolness triggered a reaction in Xu Jiao’s ear. Her jade white earlobe was like a peach tip, with just a hint of red at the end, extremely enticing.

Such a peach appears unripe, but once you peel off the skin, you’ll find the flesh inside is already matured.

Even the juice is sweet.

Xu Jiao was initially unmoved until Lilith promised her: “Just this once, and since this is in a dream, once you wake up, everything will disappear, trust me—”

“Just help me this once, okay?”

“This time shedding skin is too painful, I need to divert my attention a bit, really, I will make you very comfortable, trust me this once, hmm?”

……

Xu Jiao truly fell for her nonsense.

She naively believed that this so-called waking up meant just one night passing!

Who would have thought that the time in the dream was entirely under the control of this black snake? This was an even longer torment than last time, especially since everything in the dream changed according to the black snake’s will. They could be on the bed one moment and in the water the next. All the power Xu Jiao used was countered by the other side, the light red lines on her ankle not yet fully retracted, while flowers from outside grew in along the wall.

Her fingertips involuntarily threaded through the other’s black hair, intending to push this creature away, but the black snake flicked its tongue, releasing a long silver line, like a lotus root with threads still connected. As it raised its head from below and met her gaze, it flicked its tongue, and its voice directly echoed in her mind:

“What? You don’t like this?”

“But I feel you’re very happy.”

Xu Jiao couldn’t speak, continuously retreating, while the light red lines on her wrist involuntarily tightened, trapping her in the bed, unable to go anywhere.

She shook her head, her eyelashes stained with wet tear marks, and in a voice somehow hoarse, she softly said:

“Don’t…”

Lilith leaned in to kiss her, carrying a somewhat damp, salty smell, but Xu Jiao avoided it. That rustling laughter sounded, the kiss only landing on the corner of her lips, her voice carrying both helplessness and indulgence:

“Why don’t you want it again?”

“Didn’t you just agree with me? Want to back out?”

Xu Jiao tried to calm her breath and point out the trap in her words from earlier, but as soon as her lips parted, a sob escaped, and the rest of her words disappeared into her altered breathing.

She shook her head vaguely, noticing that the flowers outside the wall, after climbing in, were clinging to her arm, trying to attach and grow with her. The leaves crowded and pressed against her body, causing an endless itch. She raised her hand to brush those things away, but it was all in vain. Feeling the vines climbing somewhere, Xu Jiao felt herself collapsing. She clung to Lilith’s shoulders, feeling her ankle being pulled aside by the red line, and cried out:

“Don’t want them… please…”

“Please…”

Lilith kissed her leisurely, her movements full of tenderness, yet her words carried a trap: “You don’t want this, you don’t want that, what exactly do you want? Hmm?”

“Tell me, and I will give you anything.”

“Between me and them, you must choose one.”

In this extreme environment, Xu Jiao’s ability to think wasn’t very effective. She barely calmed down for a few seconds and chose an option that seemed less dangerous and relatively normal:

“…You.”

Lilith heard her answer, her tone somewhat helpless, but the corners of her lips lifted: “Alright, as you wish—you really know how to act spoiled.”

She waved her hand, causing the leaves and vines to instantly wither, becoming lifeless, and fall from the bed onto the ground. Only when they were completely still did Xu Jiao let out a slight sigh of relief, feeling less tense.

It was unclear how much time had passed!

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, her eyebrows furrowing together, as she raised her hand to push away the one pressing down on her.

“Don’t…”

Her voice carried a tone of weakness, almost collapsing into a sob, as if there was no way out.

But Lilith seemed indifferent, only stroking her hair with an indulgent tone, saying: “You’ve already made your choice. What you didn’t want, I didn’t give you, but what I want to give you now…”

“You cannot refuse.”

Xu Jiao’s whole body was trembling. Although she had experienced such fingertip contact with Lilith before, nothing compared to this time, making it so unbearable. She felt as if Lilith’s hand had passed through her body, touching her very soul.

Lilith did not let her know that she secretly added a bit of demonic energy to stimulate her, only watching her collapse beneath her. As time went on, her eyes lost focus, her gaze became scattered, as if her whole being was about to break, unable to even utter words of begging.

Like a…

Rag doll about to fall apart.

She indeed felt the demonic energy stimulating the other person, as divine power inherently repels this kind of magic. However, it happened to invade her most defenseless area, causing the strongest reaction, making it naturally impossible to resist.

It went a little overboard.

Lilith looked at the saint’s sweet expression, realizing this, then maliciously asked: “Do you want me to let you go?”

Xu Jiao unconsciously nodded, her fingers curled, wanting to grasp her clothes, but she had no strength left, with only tears sliding down from the corner of her eyes.

Lilith softly said: “Then I’ll forgive you this time. Next time when I want it, you still have to give it, okay?”

Xu Jiao continued to nod.

Lilith kissed her forehead and casually praised: “So good.”

Afterward, seeing Xu Jiao in such a dazed state, she softly asked: “You want to find that underground cave, what do you intend to do?”

Xu Jiao had completely lost the ability to think and blurted out without hesitation:

“Want to…”

“Kill God.”

Lilith’s actions suddenly stopped.

The dreamlike splendor vanished abruptly, and the fiery atmosphere came to an instant halt.

She looked at the figure in front of her, smiling as she raised her hand to touch her neck, repeating word by word: “Kill who?”

LP: Half asleep when editing this, so some parts might be confusing…
