Book 5: Chapter 58: How Did You Manage To Do That?
Lilith lowered her head once more, propping her chin on her hand, and smirked.
“It looks like the heavens also believe that you were born in the wrong body.”
Kieran frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
“I mean to say it’s a shame that such a lovely personality had to be placed into a male body. Thankfully, our Dragon God is a powerful deity who is willing to take action and rectify such a mistake. Even if you can’t physically become a girl, you can still embody the qualities of one.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Kieran asked angrily. Lilith’s nonsensical rambling left him feeling unsettled.
Lilith gracefully stepped back a few paces, then pointed her finger towards the sky and chuckled.
“You still don’t get it? I’ve already made it so obvious.”
Kieran lifted his head and his expression immediately changed. Most of the white smoke had dissipated, so his perception was no longer distorted. Although the range of his perception was limited due to his current realm, he could still clearly sense that…
Something hot was rapidly approaching the boat from a high altitude!
What is that? A meteorite?
Kieran’s mind raced with all sorts of scenarios, including the potential impact and damage a real meteorite could cause if it were to strike the boat they were on. He was even prepared to flee at any moment, but Lilith was just standing nearby, staring at him with a creepy smile. Because of that, he figured that the likelihood of a catastrophic event was low, as that little devil would be the first to flee if there was any real danger.
Observing Kieran’s pensive expression, Lilith shook her head and let out a sigh. “There’s indeed something endearing when a girl, who has a pretty face and a nice figure, asserts her intelligence despite lacking it.”
However, it would be lame if a guy were to do it. This just showed how shallow this world was.
The boat shook violently, causing the river to churn up waves that reached over ten meters high, as it braced itself for a powerful impact from the sky. Kieran, positioned in the center of the boat, could hear the deafening roar of the surging waves. The commotion caused Lilith a great headache as she had keen senses, so she felt like she was standing amidst grand fireworks.
Lovetide was barely stabilized on the water, thanks to the appearance of mysterious runes on the walls and floors surrounding Lilith.
A series of loud bangs was then heard coming from above, each one weaker than the last. It was as if something was crashing through the layers of flooring, hurtling towards the bottom with decreasing momentum.
Lilith’s ears perked up as she vaguely heard screams amidst the deafening sounds of impact. It sounded extremely familiar. Suddenly, the ceiling above her head exploded, showering Lilith and Kieran with wood chips and dust.
“What is it?”
Kieran’s injuries were not severe in the first place and he had mostly recovered already. With a simple gesture, he used battle qi to summon a gust of wind that cleared away the dust and smoke, revealing the true nature of the supposed meteorite.
“Oww, oww, owww…”
A wicked and ugly doll pushed aside the wooden planks that had been crushing it and rose to its feet, albeit unsteadily.
It clutched its side while cursing in pain. “Damn, how did that little monster do such a powerful throw so casually?! That nearly crushed these old bones of mine… even though I don’t actually have any. But it still hurts like hell, b?a?s?t?a?r?d?!!!”
“……”
Kieran remained silent, his fingers slowly curling into claws before he pulled his hand back toward his body. As he did so, the dust and smoke he had dispersed shifted back to their original place, as if being manipulated by an invisible force.
I’ve seen nothing, I’ve heard nothing. I’m just a guest star without a single line in this show.
Lilith lifted her leg and stomped her foot with such force that the dust and smoke was dispersed once more.
“Don’t deceive yourself. The Dragon God is watching,” she taunted.
“The Dragon God wouldn’t pay attention to insignificant people like me…”
“Nonsense! You’re this lucky because the Dragon God favors you and sees great potential in you. Come on, kid! Show the world what you’re made of!”
Who the hell would want this kind of favor?!
“Can’t we just pretend we never see that?” Kieran cried.
“Of course we can.”
“Really?” Kieran’s eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected response.
Whoever said that Lilith is as terrible as a little devil, I, Kieran, will be the first one to make them regret their words! Lady Lilith is smart, beautiful, adorable, gentle, and kind. She is a great person!
“Of course I can pretend I didn’t see anything, but…” Lilith pulled out a wooden stump out of nowhere and climbed onto it. With a condescending look and a slight smirk on her face, she finished her sentence, “Only if you kneel before me and become my slave. I’ll consider sparing you.”
“Who would want to be your slave? You terrible little devil!”
“Really? That’s a shame then.” Lilith pouted. “Never mind then. My mother seems to be busy lately. At least I won’t have to bother her.”
Lilith was certain that if she had summoned the Dragon Queen all the way here just to undress a mere human, the Queen would be so offended and hurt someone. Of course, that someone wouldn’t be Lilith.
Lilith kicked the wooden stump beneath her feet away and turned her attention toward Lacey, who had stopped fussing and was now ready to sneak away.
With a friendly smile on her face, Lilith said, “Well, well, if it isn’t the famous owner of this establishment. Where are you off to in such a hurry, Lacey?”
Lacey turned his head around stiffly. An eerie grin appeared on his doll’s face. “You must have mistaken me for someone else. I’m just a normal doll, passing through here.”
“Is that so? Well, if you’re just a normal doll then I guess it’s not too much to ask for you to play with me, right?”
Lilith slowly approached the doll with a wicked smile.
Meanwhile, Kieran was also cracking his knuckles, his eyes blazing with the desire to incinerate the doll in front of him!
This person had traumatized him by manipulating his body and now, he was also responsible for causing Kieran immense suffering and pushing him toward a life of darkness.
Although this act of revenge might not be honorable, Kieran knew that he would not be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of his life if he did not rip this doll apart with his own hands.
Panic flashed across Lacey’s button eyes as the two of them approached him. “I’m telling you now, don’t force me to use my trump card!” he warned.
“Trump card? Oh no, I’m shaking in my boots!”
Lilith then sneered. “You’re welcome to use it.”
“You better not regret this! The power of that move is beyond your imagination! Once I unleash it, only death awaits you!” Lacey roared.
“Of course I won’t regret it.” Lilith scoffed.
If Lacey truly had such a powerful move up his sleeve, he would have already unleashed it instead of wasting his breath here to intimidate them. How stupid.
Lilith narrowed her eyes as the white smoke around her thickened once again. Could it be that Lacey was pretending to intimidate them while using the smoke as a cover to escape once more? Did he truly believe that she would fall for the same trick twice? How ridiculous.
“I’m warning you now, don’t come any closer! I’ll do it for real!” Lacey issued the ultimatum, but Lilith just brushed it off like it was nothing more than a foolish show.
“Pfft.” Lilith snickered as she crossed the invisible line that Lacey had set up for them.
“Stop bullying me! Do you really think I’m just bluffing?” Lacey shouted in frustration as he moved his hand to his abdomen.
Click…
Although his doll hand was fingerless, he was able to pull something that seemed like a zipper on his abdomen for some reason.
Lilith was dumbfounded. “How did you manage to do something like that?”
Lacey laughed sinisterly and said, “Ignorant child, there are still many things that you do not know!”
With that, he pulled out a shiny bronze revolver from his abdomen.
