--- Chapter 275 ---
After discussing many things, Thalia cleaned up her place and put on her mask again. Of course, she didn't choose to disguise herself as 'Dante, the Demonic Weapon Blacksmith' anymore and turned into a more mature version of herself.
Her facial features became sharper, her hair turned black, and her body slimmed under the baggy purple robe. She showed enough curves to make one think she was charming.
Instantly, the daughter of the number one blacksmith in Yu Long's past life has become a young lady of an ancient clan.
Apparently, this was Thalia's disguise when she entered cultivation-type dimensions. She also adopted the character Tang Hye, a mysterious young demoness from an unkind family.
"The Mask of Proteus isn't a bad artifact at all." Yu Long commented while looking at Thalia from head to toe.
Thalia smiled, "It's my father's masterpiece, after all. Even the Olympus Gods wanted it."
"Unfortunately, I would never let them touch my father's works.""Good, you're a filial child." Hearing her statement, Yu Long nodded in satisfaction.
Huan Caiyi watched their interaction with a faint smile. Seeing how calmly Yu Long talked with Thalia made her realize this monster of a man had a human side, too.
No, he was a human with a heart of gold before reincarnation. He saved a world and many lives inside it.
Even Huan Caiyi knew she wasn't able to achieve the same feat. It made Huan Caiyi admire Yu Long more.
That's right. In the past, Huan Caiyi saw Yu Long as an 'impressive' man, but now she found him very mesmerizing. He could do ordinary things like breathing, and she would still find him the most attractive man in the world.
Yes, she unknowingly has become obsessed with him. His charm has enamored her beyond one could describe.
Huan Caiyi sighed in her heart, 'I should thank the mysterious voice for helping me back then. Without the voice, I'm sure I can't even stand beside Yu Long.'
'Now I can't hear the mysterious voice anymore. Maybe It's just my imagination.'
Chu Yuechan glanced at Huan Caiyi, finding the Little Demon Empress's expression somewhat off. Then, she followed her gaze and realized what the former had been thinking.
Even though Chu Yuechan has a concerningly low EQ, she still understands the complicated feelings of a woman. She knew Huan Caiyi was thinking deeply about her situation with Yu Long.
Chu Yuechan had a similar experience and calmly said, "It's better if you don't bury it."
"Hmm?" Huan Caiyi tilted her head toward Chu Yuechan.
Chu Yuechan curved her lips, "I don't know how you see Yu Long, but he wasn't very active when chasing someone unless you let him to. You're a woman with many issues, and he has much more than that."
"Given our identities in this chaotic world, suppressing your feelings would only lead to a Heart Demon and frustration."
"And those will lead to a decline in your cultivation."
"That's why... Don't bury it. In fact, you should see and experience wonderful feelings."
"Who knows, you might get enlightened."
Huan Caiyi was confused, "You don't strike me as someone who would make this conversation."
"I am." Chu Yuechan nodded calmly. "However, my sister rubbed on me a little, and I'd like to give you a chance."
"No, I'd like Yu Long to get more women."
"This..." Huan Caiyi was speechless.
Chu Yuechan waved her hand and looked away. She already told HHuan Caiyi all the 'important' things.
Truthfully, Chu Yuechan's words have a hidden meaning. She suggested Huan Caiyi enter Yu Long's harem not only for his own good but also for the other ladies.
Even though they are cultivators, they aren't Gods. Their stamina is finite before Yu Long's endless stamina and sexual prowess, which begs the question of whether they are enough to satisfy him.
There are others, but Chu Yuechan doubts the numbers are enough to take Yu Long down in bed.
Of course, Chu Yuechan wouldn't tell Huan Caiyi this. She didn't want to spout more nonsense.
Chu Yuechan glanced at Tempest and shook her head, 'This bird is too dumb to enter the harem. We don't take everyone.'
You can be dumb.
But you CAN'T be too dumb!
"What?" Tempest felt shamed by Chu Yuechan's gaze.
Why did she feel like this frosty woman was looking down on her?
"Nothing." Chu Yuechan looked away.
Tempest gave her a dumb and blank look. She quickly hides her dough sticks from Chu Yuechan, "Just you know, I won't share my food with you!"
"I know. Keep eating. You need it." Chu Yuechan dismissed the bird casually.
'Yeah, no chance.' Chu Yuechan thought to herself.
Yu Long stared at them, "Okay, we can leave this place."
"Let's go."
After leaving the Flickering Candlelight, they returned to the Imperial Demon Palace.
Huan Caiyi ordered the servants to clean some rooms and told Yu Long she'd meditate with Sky Demon Sutra. Yu Long shrugged, finding no problem with her decision.
She just discovered her talent as an Otherworldly Witch, and delving more into it is better than repetitive cultivation in Profound Way. She also could apply knowledge from being a Profound Practitioner to the Witch.
Given the troubles Huan Caiyi must face soon, increasing her mental strength will give her an advantage.
Like Huan Caiyi, Chu Yuechan also told Yu Long she wanted to meditate and consolidate her sword intent more.
That left Yu Long with Tempest and Thalia.
Well, more like Yu Long and Thalia alone. The green bird is 'literally' eating to death with all the pampering the Imperial Demon Palace's servants gave her.
Yu Long couldn't blame Tempest for it. The servants served the best food one could get in the Illusory Demon Realm, and Huan Caiyi was nice enough to provide them all for free.
Watching the green bird devouring the table, Yu Long could only sigh and drag Thalia to the underground. He borrowed her pocket dimension and made a makeshift workshop that suited his taste.
Yu Long sat on a stone chair and commented, "So, I know you can turn my Essence Sphere into weapons. You have surpassed your father in this regard, but it's not enough."
"Yes. Godfather's Essence Sphere is too heaven-defying." Thalia replied with a weak smile. "Even with Hinokagutsuchi, I could only alter the Essence Sphere's properties and shape."
"In essence. I didn't turn it into a weapon at all."
Yu Long smiled, "Kaiju Maker's power is absolute. Not even Cosmic Storm could change it."
"However, your approach to the Demonic Weapon wasn't bad. It's just that your skill is green in this field."
"Mhm." Thalia acknowledged her weakness.
Yu Long brought a random Essence Sphere. It has no particular use, and the powers within it are weak.
He didn't need such a weak power, but it was good enough for Thalia's training.
He threw the Essence Sphere to Thalia, "Catch it."
Thalia caught the Essence Sphere, and her eyes widened slightly, "This is... Isn't this an Essence Sphere from an extinct race, Spiritual Beast?"
"Godfather, why did you give me such a precious thing?"
The Spiritual Beast is an animalistic race that can turn their bodies into weapons. This one, in particular, can turn its giant elephant body into a shield, which functions like a Spiritual Weapon.
Yu Long didn't need it because he had Manifestation Aspect extracted from the Yun Family's bloodline. The difference between the two is like that of sky and mud.
"It's nothing." Yu Long waved his hand, telling Thalia to take it. He can give her more later.
"Use that Essence Sphere as a test subject."
"Show me the best you could with it."
"I will give you guidance while you're doing it."
"Ah, I understand." Thalia's eyes lit up. Yu Long wanted to help her! With that in mind, she hurriedly activated her power, and a massive silhouette appeared behind her.
It was Hinokagutsuchi, the Shinto's God of Fire.
Yu Long stared at the fiery shadow, 'Hmm, I wonder if I can copy that with my Profound Incarnations. Theoretically, it's possible.'
