Soul Devouring Evil King, beyond the Sea of Soul, Ling Xiaoxiao coldly raised her hand and guided the primordial life force within it, preparing to teach the insolent Soul Devouring Evil King a lesson. But he immediately stopped her. "W-wait!"
At that, Ling Xiaoxiao's raised hand halted, and a sly smile curled at the corner of her mouth. Of course, Soul Devouring Evil King couldn't see any of this from inside the Sea of Soul.
In a voice still cold to the extreme, she said calmly, "You have one more sentence."
Soul Devouring Evil King's heart sank. Her imposing presence terrified him into stillness, and he cursed himself for running his mouth. Was there any Ancestor Spirit Bird in the world who wasn't a force to be reckoned with?
But what was done was done. He could only lower his head and say, "I ask you, for the sake of the Sea of Soul, please don't strike..."
Ling Xiaoxiao pressed her lips together to keep from laughing. It seemed her plan had worked after all! But she couldn't let Soul Devouring Evil King realize what was going on.
Then she sneered. "I already gave you your chance. You chose not to cherish it."
Soul Devouring Evil King hastily bowed his head. "I was blind to your stature! Please, for the sake of the host of this Sea of Soul, spare me for now..."
Hearing that, Ling Xiaoxiao guided the energy to pause for a moment, as though she were considering his plea.
Seeing a chance to escape disaster, Soul Devouring Evil King immediately pressed his advantage, smiling ingratiatingly. "Your power is too overwhelming. If you strike, I fear this Sea of Soul won't survive. Please think it over!"
After a brief silence, Ling Xiaoxiao sent her reply through her thoughts.
