Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 494: Chapter 233: The Might of the Divine Chosen

The temporary stronghold of the Blood God Faction was heavily guarded.

A considerable number of Spiritual Ability Users were on the alert in the dark, fearing that a Blood Fly might infiltrate and spread viruses or eavesdrop on secrets.

Outside a room in the central area of the stronghold, several newly inducted servants of the Divine Chosen were staring intently at all the exits.

They were the esteemed servants of Lord Di Yun, casting all their glory upon him and ensuring that no mishap befell him.

Of course, to move further and become Lord Di Yun’s trusted aide,

they still needed to strive. Otherwise, once the Lord returned to headquarters, the believers from other branches would become their strongest competitors.

”The mount has already been offered, but the Lord was not quite satisfied.”

”It seems we still need to find an opportunity to seek a better mount!”

”Lord Di Yun, alone, does not require a maid while bathing; his purity is exceedingly high. We are truly inferior.”

”Lord Di Yun is so excellent, how could he care for those common, vulgar types? We must find someone even better....”

They whispered among themselves.

And of course, they did not know that there actually was a girl in Lord Di Yun’s room.

In the dim room,

the Little Mad King was leaning against the wall, alert to all nearby sounds.

Her striking long legs were bent, her hands resting on her knees, giving her a less sharp and cold demeanor; her eyes were somewhat less world-weary.

After scanning her surroundings again, her gaze fell upon the bed in the room.

Li Yelai was resting there, with light snoring sounds emitting.

He was her only teammate, the only person she could trust unreservedly.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to sleep so easily while alone with her.

Her other colleagues, knowing she was nearby, would never relax like this; they would always keep a guard up.

This made her feel both pain and numbness.

As for Li Yelai, to say that the Little Mad King had no personal feelings would be false.

The Little Mad King truly hoped that Li Yelai, her only teammate, would grow up quickly.

Once she became the King, taking over the responsibilities of the Old Mad King, Li Yelai could then help her coordinate the Giant City.

Otherwise, a King not trusted would only destroy all their efforts.

She needed the help of a companion.

Sadly, it seemed like a cruel twist of fate, her only teammate had undergone various miseries after leaving the Giant City; now he was even forced to become a Chaos Chosen, despised by the outside world.

Sometimes, the Little Mad King wondered if she hadn’t invited Li Yelai to participate in the operation to assassinate the traitor, whether all this could have been avoided?

The Little Mad King silently sighed; looking causally, everything Li Yelai experienced was greatly related to her... If she had not taken him away from the Giant City, perhaps none of it would have happened, nor would it have developed to this stage.

The Little Mad King thought to herself, she had to take responsibility to ensure his safety and completion of the mission.

However, just then, Li Yelai suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

”What’s wrong?”

The Little Mad King quietly asked, sensing the surroundings again, detecting no approaching danger.

”It’s nothing...”

Li Yelai shook his head in response, he had actually been woken from a sudden feeling of panic in his sleep, but it wasn’t necessary to elaborate.

Seeing the Little Mad King still in the corner, Li Yelai said, ”It’s your turn to rest. I’ll keep watch now.”

”Alright, I leave it to you, teammate.”

The Little Mad King nodded slightly, without any refusal.

She had been using her abilities almost all day, hiding in shadows and constantly following Li Yelai; even a Sixth-Sense Spiritual Ability User indeed needed rest.

Thus, the Little Mad King stood up, her striking long legs moving silently to the bedside.

”Which side will you sleep on?” the Little Mad King quietly asked.

As she approached, Li Yelai could feel a cool fragrance wafting to his nose.

Li Yelai could only shake his head and say, ”I’ll sleep on the couch.”

With Li Yelai’s understanding of the Little Mad King,

if he nodded, the Little Mad King would really sleep beside him without any concern.

As she said herself, she didn’t mind these things. She had already grown numb, even indifferent.

Li Yelai even suspected she harbored some world-weariness.

Imagine, a beautiful girl always nearby, with little caution on her part.

If Li Yelai were slightly more corrupt, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just like that previous time in the bath...

Of course, this also had to do with being her only teammate, whom she trusted greatly.

For Li Yelai, it was quite a plight.

Trust is trust, but instincts are instincts.

Especially since, to better hide, the Little Mad King was wearing skin-tight clothing that accentuated her impressive body proportions.

If he didn’t know the Little Mad King well, he might think she was a believer of the Jile Sect.

”You need to be aware of the difference between men and women, don’t trust me so much... Those who were corrupted by Jile Church, they were upright people before,” Li Yelai advised earnestly while sitting on the couch.

However, he found that the Little Mad King had already fallen asleep, her trustworthy teammate keeping watch nearby made her fall asleep quite swiftly.

Li Yelai could only close his eyes to rest on the couch.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when he heard footsteps at the door.

Instinctively opening his eyes, he saw that the Little Mad King was already gone from the bed, clearly having slipped into the shadows.

Then, the voice of Xue Yin came from the door, ”Lord Di Yun, the ceremony is going to commence soon.”
