The Prophet Didn’t Mean to Fall in Love! [BL]

As he got pressed back by Viktor, Quingjue just became more and more erratic and messy with his strikes, trying desperately to strike back.

 

Viktor almost gave him a chance when he froze at the sort of tremble the air gave for a moment. Anyone could tell that was a collision between two very powerful people but even Viktor could not quite discern who. He worried about it for a second before noticing that, one second after his own reaction to the tremble, Zhao Quingjue’s determination was back fully.

 

Lian Bai joined Viktor in the fight upon catching her breath. She had thought she wouldn’t have to interfere but it just became obvious that the more Quingjue lost his composure, the stronger he was.

 

‘No… No! No! You’re not allowed to! You’re not allowed to defeat me!’

 

Viktor got a chill down his spine. That was a feeling he hadn’t had in a while. He almost didn’t recognize it. The feeling of hearing someone’s thoughts. His breath hitched.

 

Vikentiy.

 

Not now.

 

It had become a habit to lay awake waiting for the headaches and taunting voices to come back. He didn’t understand why they even left. He had almost submitted to Vikentiy in the island realm but when Yue arrived it all disappeared… But was that even really possible?

 

For centuries of depravity and torture to just disappear?

 

Was that the true power of one of the four?

 

Should he be completely and unequivocally grateful? Or should he feel a little disappointed that he never managed to fully sort out his family secrets?

 

Viktor almost felt relief upon realizing Vikentiy was not gone. He had something to say. He could not say it right at this moment but he definitely would eventually. Once he figured out the whole story.

Yue didn’t quite remember how to breathe. He didn’t need to as he shifted into a more dragon-like form but while his body was constrained within “human” flesh… it caused him to freeze.

 

To lose a second.

 

Too far, this had gone too far. 

 

Rage bubbled up.

 

“How dare you…”

 

Yue knew very little about Zhao Zhihao but he was sure he despised him. Completely.

 

First with Li Chaoxiang having Meixiu’s core and now this?

 

Perhaps the feeling was mutual because if anything he was being targeted here.

 

The person he was fighting was taking the form of a little boy with  Xia Guiren’s face.

 

He wasn’t a shapeshifter, but somehow his face was precisely Xia Guiren’s.

 

It terrified Yue. And it also infuriated him.

Mai looked at Huy in awe. The difference in his strength from before they went to the island realm was insane.

 

Just being next to him made the temperature rise, though that was something Mai didn’t really notice… but everyone else did.

 

What Mai really noticed was how he stood unmoving in front of her and yet how all his foes fell, burnt to a crisp all around them.

 

There weren’t many strong foes but the fear was still particularly amazing. Not a single vermillion bird follower had taken a step out of their standard position and attacked, they were all on track and not attacking, simply moving forward to catch up to Huy and Mai.

Elena looked out at Malaysia. It was certainly ruined but she couldn’t even feel it. It was strange. Usually, the negative energy of ruined areas was clear to her even in places she was used to like Belarus but here she couldn’t sense anything at all. She could just see it. The withering spread throughout the land in black splotches bubbling like lava as it traveled closer and closer to the outer borders. It made sense that Yue didn’t notice Malaysia was ruined when it was like this. Upon his clearing of the dungeon, he probably felt that it was all gone.

 

“…Black tortoise.”

 

Elena turned to the voice, she had seen it coming already.

 

“Fei Xiang,” Elena responded and looked toward him, “Will you be fighting alongside me?” 

 

“I will be. Though I think the most useful person to be alongside you in this situation would be Yue. His recollection of Malaysia is probably much clearer than mine.” Fei Xiang murmured, nodding in greeting toward Andrei as well.

 

“Hm? What do you mean?”

 

“Malaysia was truthfully more of a one-man effort than a group clearing… Most of the immortals who joined me to clear it were very quickly incapacitated. My other students were as well but I noticed the effects of the dungeon quickly enough to protect them…Yue on the other hand…needed no protection.” Fei Xiang explained,”....And neither did I…”

 

“What caused them to become incapacitated?”

 

“It wasn’t negative energy or the excessive amounts of mana but the complete opposite thing…There is no mana in Malaysia. At all.”
