Chapter: Chapter 517
“Little Fen?” Bai Ling asked cautiously, landing in front of Fen.
She couldn’t be sure if this little guy was actually Fen yet, so she couldn’t let her guard down. If she was ambushed, Bai Ling’s physical defense might not be enough, and she could be in trouble.
Clutching her right arm, the golden-haired girl looked up at Bai Ling, who was floating in mid-air, sword in hand, exuding a heroic aura. Her voice carried a hint of sadness, “Sister Bai, you hit too hard!”
This tone, this voice, was it really Fen? Bai Ling looked at the girl, who seemed to be behaving normally, but she couldn’t jump to any conclusions.
“Where’s Lady? Fen, do you know where Lady is?” Fen was able to regain control of her body, presumably with Lady’s help. Otherwise, Bai Ling thought, with Fen’s abilities, she probably couldn’t have seized control from Huang.
Fen’s answer was as Bai Ling expected. Lady, after Huang’s self-destruction, was indeed unharmed. Instead, she entered Fen’s spiritual world to help her beat up the foolish bird who was being misled by Huang’s memories.
Lady had now sealed away the corrupted personality. This incident seemed to have been perfectly resolved.
Although Lady had lost a body, for a god, losing a body didn’t seem like much of a loss?
Bai Ling, being human, couldn’t quite understand this way of thinking. However, from the decisive actions of Infino and Lady, it could be seen that these gods truly didn’t take their bodies seriously.
“Sister Lady should be back soon.” Fen looked around, trying to find Lady’s whereabouts, but the vast starscape blocked her senses, making it impossible to find any clues related to Lady. “Is this starscape your ability, Sister Bai?”
From the stars in the sky, she could clearly feel a deep-seated fear. This starscape was definitely something terrifying.
Even gods wouldn’t dare to boast that they could tear apart this starscape.
“Yes, here I can use the energy of the starscape more conveniently.” Bai Ling nodded, sheathed her starlight sword into a scabbard formed by starlight at her waist. As she moved, the illusory starscape that enveloped the world slowly dissipated, and the bright sun appeared at the zenith, casting its scorching heat upon the earth.
In this region, perpetually covered by sandstorms, this might be the only sunshine in thousands of years.
And in mid-air, a seven-colored illusory crystal was slowly rotating. Bai Ling looked at the beautiful, flawless crystal and immediately felt a sense of connection to Lady.
A seven-colored vortex appeared in mid-air, and the ethereal black-haired girl arrived from another dimension. Upon contact with the seven-colored crystal, her body solidified from ethereal to real in just a few breaths.
When she landed a few steps in front of Bai Ling, Bai Ling immediately stepped forward and embraced her.
“Welcome back.”
“Don’t be so sentimental, it’s not like we’re being parted forever.” Gently patting Bai Ling’s back, a hint of helplessness flickered across Lady’s face, but it was immediately replaced by a warm smile.
Being cared for like this felt very good.
After hugging Lady for a while, Bai Ling reluctantly let go and examined Lady carefully from head to toe. Miss Bai suddenly noticed something slightly off.
Had Lady become a bit more beautiful?
The scent on her body was also slightly different from before. Although subtle, it still didn’t escape Miss Bai’s sharp senses. The faint fragrance before was even more subtle, and its calming effect was weaker.
Her skin was more fair and tender than before, and her overall demeanor had also changed compared to before. If the previous Lady was like a hybrid of human and god, a “four unlike,” then the current Lady was more like a true god.
She was similar to Fen now.
Bai Ling shifted her gaze to Fen. Compared to her previous puppet body, while the little golden girl’s appearance was largely similar, certain details were vastly different.
Upon closer inspection, one could notice that the current Fen was cuter than before, her movements were more agile, and the faint aura emanating from her allowed one to immediately recognize her extraordinary nature.
Lady was now similar to Fen, both possessing this unstated aura. However, since Lady already had some foundation, the contrast was less pronounced.
“You’ve changed quite a bit,” Bai Ling said softly.
“Changed quite a bit?” Lady lowered her head, looking at her still barren chest, and estimating her slightly unsatisfactory height, she felt that her changes might not be that significant.
If the external changes weren’t significant, what about the internal ones?
“Huh?!” Lady exclaimed in surprise.
Was this her body?
Where was her magic power? Where had all her hard-earned magic power gone?
Even the old, hidden injuries accumulated over the years were gone without a trace. The time Bai Ling almost killed her had left Lady with some significant hidden injuries. They weren’t noticeable usually, but as she aged, they would likely have some impact.
But now, all of it had disappeared.
Her magic power was gone, her hidden injuries were gone, and her body was as if it had just been born.
“My body feels as if it’s been through nothing, yet its strength is even higher than before. This… is truly strange.” The disappearance of magic power didn’t matter, as Lady had enough reserve mana to last a long time. Even without a trace of magic power in her body, it was fine.
But could this current body still use magic? Lady had some doubts.
She summoned a small amount of energy from her spiritual space and transformed it into magic power, intending to test the parameters of this new body.
Then, she was shocked.
“Although I can’t feel how magic flows within my body, the magical talent of this body seems to be much stronger than my previous one.” Lady gasped, looking at the black sphere in her hand, which couldn’t even be called a fireball.
If the previous Demon King’s body had a talent score of ninety-five in terms of magic, then the current body’s talent in magic had exceeded the perfect score, reaching a level that even Lady couldn’t describe.
It was strong, very strong, but Lady didn’t know why it was so strong.
“True God… this is the body of a True God…” It wasn’t until golden chains flew out of Bai Ling’s pocket and Infino’s voice echoed in Lady’s ears that Lady finally got her answer.
