Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

Chapter 255: Hey, Long Lingyu, Why The Gloomy Face?

Asher watched Zhang Meiling with a thoughtful expression on his face. He hadn't expected the youngest one to have the Supreme Ranked Spirit, which meant she was the strongest of her sisters.

"Hehe... Do you also fancy her, Asher? She has quite the charm, so with your personality, I'm sure you won't be able to resist." Lei Liwei teased Asher with a giggle, and he just rolled his eyes at her.

"Oh, shut it, woman. I'm not some lowly idiot who gets attracted to every pretty face that passes by." He scoffed at her words.

"But you agree that she is indeed charming, right?"

"You are not going to let this go, are you?"

"Nope~"

Asher sighed, shaking his head, before continuing. "Alright, yes, she is attractive. Anyone with eyes can see that. Satisfied?"

"Hmmm... No, not quite. Tell me, who do you think is prettier, her or me?" Lei Liwei asked with a smirk.

"Are you trying to make me fall into this trap where if I say your name, I look like a lovestruck fool who is head over heels for you, but if I say her, you will say that I am just a superficial jerk who likes to flirt with beautiful girls and forgets about them later on?" He answered her question with another question.

Lei Liwei giggled again, amused by his reaction, and continued teasing him, "Wow... Someone is knowledgeable, haha~"

Then she gave a seductive wink at him and blew a kiss, saying, "Alright, it's my turn to get my Spirit's rank evaluated."

With lightning crackling around her figure, she vanished from where she stood in a blink of an eye and appeared in front of the obelisk with a thunderous explosion echoing in the air, surprising everyone present.

Her sudden action startled everyone as they flinched in response, wondering what happened. But before anyone could react, Lei Liwei placed her hand on the artifact and began channeling her spirit essence.

Soon after, her spirit materialized above her head, releasing its intimidating presence as lightning flashed across its body while thunder boomed all around it, sounding like a fierce storm was brewing within its confinements.

It was Thundarael, a thunderbird with brilliant azure feathers and golden talons; its body exuded a dazzling radiance that seemed to contain all the power of lightning within itself, creating an aura of majesty that enveloped the whole vicinity.

With a flap of its wings, it released a burst of crackling electricity that covered the surroundings, illuminating everything in sight. The display of its might was enough to stun everyone into silence.

In addition, the Spirit Star Obelisk flickered several times before showing six flashing stars, indicating the rank of her spirit as a Supreme Rank.

The moment her rank was revealed, Elder Kong Yu, who had been observing her from the beginning, narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brows. His expression darkened as he thought, 'Another Supreme Rank Spirit holder? This means that the Twilight Mist Sect will become even more dominant in the region in the future.'

Although he did not voice his thoughts aloud, he felt unhappy because, even though his Heaven's Glory Palace could match up to the Twilight Mist Sect's influence in the surrounding regions, they didn't get any new talents who could compete with these girls for years now.

So seeing this kind of situation made him realize that if things continued like this, his sect would slowly decline until one day they would have to bow down to the Twilight Mist Sect.

Meanwhile, Elder Katrina clapped her hands to draw the audience's attention before speaking, "Wonderful. Another Supreme Rank Spirit owner. You have a lot of potential, dear girl. Keep up your effort, and you will go far in the future."

Lei Liwei just chuckled with a shrug of her shoulders. "Haha, thank you, Elder. I hope you will support me in the future when I need assistance."

"Of course, for a Core Disciple of the Twilight Mist Sect, we will provide all the assistance required to help you grow." Elder Katrina promised with a smile.

Lei Liwei thanked her again before walking away.

A few moments later, she saw Long Lingyu and grinned at her, who was observing her with an unreadable expression.

"Hey, Long Lingyu, why the gloomy face? Do you regret breaking your engagement with Yuan Long, haha?"

"Hmph! Regret? Do you think I care about a man like him? Or do you think I fear the consequences of my actions?" Long Lingyu snorted with her eyes filled with disdain.

"Ouch, that's cold. But anyway, I agree that he isn't worthy of you. After all, who would want to marry a man like him? Not me, for sure." Lei Liwei nodded in agreement with her.

"I guess we share the same opinion for once. However, your behavior still annoys me. Just stop acting all smug; it makes me sick to see you smiling like that." Long Lingyu glared at her with annoyance.

"Aww, come on, don't be a buzzkill, girl. We can always become good friends if you treat me nicely. If not, I'm afraid that this kind of attitude will cause conflict between us. Don't you think so?"

"Is that a threat?" Long Lingyu narrowed her eyes at Lei Liwei, whose smile widened as she shook her head.

"Of course not. How can you call it a threat? I'm just being honest here. Don't misunderstand my intentions."

Long Lingyu kept silent for a moment as she studied her expression before responding with a slight nod, "Fine, I'll keep your words in mind. Now it's my turn, so scram."

After saying that, she brushed past Lei Liwei and headed towards the obelisk, leaving a speechless Lei Liwei behind.

"Wow, talk about being rude. It doesn't hurt to be civilized, does it?" She huffed while crossing her arms below her chest, but soon a mischievous glint flashed across her eyes as she smirked, "Well, whatever... It will be fun messing with her in the future, since we are in the same sect and all. Ha ha ha!"
