Ahri: If it doesn't work, I'll go out and fight her!
Orianna asked where she was and inquired about Ahri's identity from Li Ke. She was genuinely curious about her current situation, but Orianna did not show any fear or worry.
Her ability to learn and her mental fortitude were both very strong, and her emotions were extremely stable, making Li Ke feel that Orianna was truly like a little adult.
Isha's emotions are even more stable than Isaac's. As for Jinx, it's precisely because of her comparison that Li Ke thinks Orianna's emotions are so stable, okay?
Can Jinx's emotions be related to the word "stability"?
Obviously not. The crazy woman from Zaun's world was fluctuating between ecstasy and rage, either hugging someone or exploding with anger.
After learning about Singed's recent situation from Li Ke, Orianna only said with a mix of disappointment and gratitude, "Dad has really worked hard," before regaining her composure and starting to chat with Ahri.
The Little Fox was also particularly fond of Orianna and enjoyed talking to Orianna. At the same time, she began to speak ill of Li Ke behind Li Ke back and Orianna's back.
Even Deity have to observe morality; one cannot speak ill of others to their face—this is a little-known rule known to both humans and gods.
For example, when she talks badly about Cassiopeia, Thresh, Riven behind their backs, she doesn't say it to their faces, but whispers it in private. Ahri is also afraid of them finding out. These three have terrible tempers, especially Riven, who is always carrying a big sword and looking for people to fight.
A typical Akana Deity, still lost and aimless within the Soul Blossom.
"That's the situation right now. Time flows differently in the two realms, Orianna, so you'll have to wait here for a while. Singed will come to find me as soon as he arrives in Ionia."
Li Ke said to Orianna, then looked at Ahri and asked, "But Ahri, what should Singed and I do then?"
"I don't need to do anything. Once Orianna's body arrives in Ionia, I can handle it all by myself. I don't even need the wolves or sheep's help." Ahri patted her furry chest with her paw. The fur beneath her was snow-white with specks of pink, perhaps due to her skin tone.
Ahri continued:
"I'll just secretly move Orianna's soul out, and the Spirit of the Soul Blossom won't find out. And even if it does, it can't stop me. So, Li Ke, all you need to do is touch Orianna's body, and I can use you as a node to influence her in the Material Realm."
"This isn't Zaun. Ionia is brimming with magical energy, and the defenses of the interdimensional realm are weak. Besides, you've gotten a bit stronger now; you can barely let me possess you for about ten seconds."
Li Ke was speechless. Had I only become a tiny bit stronger?
Li Ke believed he was now far stronger than he had been when facing the Darkin, but compared to Ahri, he had only become a little stronger, only able to withstand her possession for a little longer.
However, this piqued Li Ke's curiosity. He looked at Ahri and said, "What if we leave Ionia? Can you possess me for ten seconds?"
"Of course, but it won't be that convenient. After we leave Ionia, you'll have to come in first so I can crawl into your body and take me with me," Ahri said. Then, as if she had guessed what Li Ke was thinking, Ahri crossed her arms and said irritably, "Li Ke, do you want me to be your henchman?"
Orianna's eyes lit up as she listened. So Mr. Li Ke was friends with the Deity?
"Ah, Ahri, I'm just afraid that I might run into something I can't handle. You see, you're the only one I can rely on. If I really encounter a crisis, I can only come to you." Li Ke said to Ahri.
"Where's that bluebird from your Zaun?" Ahri asked, glancing sideways at Li Ke.
"Janna's strength hasn't recovered yet, so there are many things she can't help with right now," Li Ke quickly said.
Upon hearing this, Ahri's tone rose, and she said, "Oh, I see. So you mean that once her power is restored, you won't need me anymore, is that what you mean?"
"?"
Wait a minute, why does Ahri's comment sound so sarcastic?
Ahri is not a deity; she is gentle, considerate, and kind. However, once you get to know her, she reveals her mischievous and playful side. Therefore, the way Li Ke interacts with her is not how Deity and a believer should interact.
His attitude towards wolves and sheep was completely different from his attitude towards Ahri.
Some might say that Li Ke is bullying his own people, showing respect to Kindred but disrespect to Ahri. But that's not actually the case.
Because if there were really something good, Li Ke's first thought would be to send it to Ahri, not Kindred.
He would favor Ahri more than Kindred, whom he respects.
"If you want me to do you a favor, you have to bring me a gift, and I also have to make a small request," Ahri said after thinking for a moment.
Of course, she wouldn't refuse Li Ke's request. Even if Li Ke couldn't offer anything and couldn't bring anything from the outside into the Soul Blossom, Ahri still wouldn't refuse Li Ke.
Her birth duty is to help others, and Ahri feels a great sense of accomplishment when she sees others happy because of her help.
Besides, Li Ke was no longer a stranger to her; he was a friend, and a good friend at that!
A friend unlike birds and beasts!
During the days when Li Ke is not in Soul Blossom, Ahri will genuinely miss Li Ke.
Therefore, she naturally did not want Li Ke to die. If a real crisis came, even if Li Ke did not tell her, she would do everything she could to help Li Ke once she sensed it.
"Go ahead, what's your little request?"
Li Ke sat cross-legged on the floor of the cave, looking at Ahri.
The Little Fox hopped and skipped towards Li Ke, saying, "When you become stronger and can bear my burdens, I want to come and play in your world!"
"That's it?"
"Yes," Ahri said, tilting her head.
Li Ke was delighted. He had thought Ahri was going to make some difficult request, but Li Ke would naturally agree to this one.
He immediately extended his hand towards Ahri: "No problem, as long as it's within my carrying capacity, you can come out and play anytime."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Ke asked again, "Will this have any impact on me?"
"Well, after the possession ends, you'll be weak for quite a while. You'll become weaker and it will take some time to recover, maybe a few days, maybe half a month. But compared to exploding into pieces, the outcome is obviously much better, right?" Ahri replied.
Li Ke nodded, "Alright, it'll just be a few days of weakness."
Ahri's possession is different from Janna's possession. Ahri's possession comes from another world to the Material Realm. She is not Deity of the Material Realm, and the Material Realm will not accept or recognize her.
Therefore, when Ahri possessed someone, Li Ke was taking on Ahri's entire soul.
It's perfectly normal for the soul of a powerful Deity to have side effects.
Luckily, I asked. That way, if Ahri wants to go out and play, Li Ke can find a safe place, like Zaun or Piltover, in his own territory, where Ahri can come and go as she pleases.
After all, when Li Ke was in Zaun, he wouldn't make a move even once every few months.
However, this also made Li Ke think of something: if Ahri could possess him, then what about other Deity?
Kindred, Cassiopeia, Riven, and maybe I should skip the hammer, it's a monster.
If possible, Li Ke doesn't want to have anything to do with Thresh, because that guy is just too annoying!
But Li Ke did get a little excited when he thought about it.
Is it possible for them, through their bodies, to glimpse the outside world?
When facing even more powerful enemies in the future, will I be able to summon Deity from my Soul Blossom at the same time when I call for reinforcements?
If it were possible, Li Ke really wouldn't dare to even think about it.
It's important to know that the only known Demigod on Runeterra are a dozen or so, and they are scattered throughout Runeterra.
Freljord, as the cradle of human civilization, is home to numerous Demigod, such as the well-known three Demigod sisters: Ornn, Volibear, Anivia. Besides these, Li Ke recalls that Freljord should also have the Seal Sister, the Boar God, and the Turtle God, among others?
Another one is Lissandra. This woman's strength is definitely in the upper echelons among Demigod. After all, she can go toe-to-toe with Volibear, who is at the top level.
Ahri is definitely no match for Ornn and Volibear, but in terms of numbers, it seems like our side does have the advantage?
We can't compete on quality, but we can compete on quantity.
The first generation of Soul Blossom contained nearly ten Demigod, not to mention the second Soul Blossom.
It's about the problem of how I get along with them.
After all, Li Ke has been in Runeterra for so long and entered the system many times, but the only Deity he has a good relationship with are Ahri, with whom he has a Kindred relationship.
Two enemies have emerged: Cassiopeia and Thresh.
To be honest, I still need to keep working hard.
Li Ke reached out and slapped Ahri's little paw against each other, thus establishing this "contract," and both Li Ke and Ahri laughed.
Then, Li Ke glanced at the time, stood up, and said, "It's almost time; I have to leave too."
Li Ke looked at Orianna and said with a smile, "Orianna, you shouldn't be bored these days."
Orianna nodded, and Ahri said, "Leave her to me, I'll take care of her."
"Good."
With that, Li Ke tapped the button to Advent the descent.
The white light engulfed him, and the two realms were completely opened. But the moment Li Ke's body disappeared into the Soul Blossom, Ahri's eyes widened.
"Oops!"
"Broken!"
She clapped her hands together and shouted.
Orianna's spirit looked at her in confusion, only to see Ahri muttering to herself.
"How could I forget about Karma? Oh no, oh no, will she cause trouble for Li Ke?"
"Yes, every generation of Karma is kind; she shouldn't cause trouble for Li Ke. She shouldn't."
Ahri muttered to herself.
If Ahri is the embodiment of the spirit of the soul lotus in the Soul Blossom Land, then Karma is the Spirit of Ionia in the Material Realm; she is the guiding light of the Spirit Realm within the Material Realm.
"Broken."
After much thought, Ahri concluded that Karma would likely cause trouble for Li Ke, because Li Ke's ability was a huge problem for the Material Realm; if things went wrong, it could overturn the situation between the two realms.
Therefore, if the contemporary Karma is a difficult person to communicate with and decisive in her actions, then she would very likely take direct action against Li Ke.
Thinking of this, Ahri's Little Fox transformed in a flash, turning into a human form right in front of Orianna.
With pink hair, a pretty face, a stunning figure, and incredibly long, beautiful legs, Ahri stood with one hand on her hip and the other holding a precious orb. Under Orianna's astonished gaze, Ahri grinned and said:
"If that doesn't work, I'll go out and fight her!"
