"The exalted Princess, being so humble before a newly arrived native demon?"
The more Cody thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
Who was Linyin?
The daughter of the Phantom Demon Sovereign, the noble Princess of the Phantom Demon Race!
Yet before Blood Abyss, her obedience and respect had nearly reached the point of servility!
This was far more than mere appreciation or favor.
There was even a hint of dependence and fanaticism in her eyes.
In any case, it was absolutely not a normal relationship.
"When Lady Phantom returns, I must bring this up with her.
Blood Abyss is probably not as simple as he appears."
Cody's thoughts churned. In the end, he gave a cold snort, turned, and left.
Elsewhere, under Linyin's guidance.
Xu Jingming passed through several corridors before finally arriving at a secluded palace.
The palace doors were old, their surfaces coated in dull dust. It was clear that the place had not been used in a long time.
"Here? This palace seems like it's never been used before."
Linyin blinked her violet eyes and looked around.
The palace interior was empty, with only a few enormous pillars standing within.
The ceiling was carved with faded murals, carrying the weathered traces of time.
"This was originally my bedchamber."
Vera's Soul Body drifted out from Xu Jingming's Sea of Consciousness.
Floating in midair, complex emotions of hatred and nostalgia surged within her large violet eyes.
"That bitch Phantom joined forces with Charm Pet and outsiders to ambush me, then seized this entire palace for herself.
Later, perhaps burdened by guilt, she naturally didn't dare keep using it."
"Lady Meiyu."
Linyin hurriedly bowed, her tone sincere.
"It was all because my mother acted so despicably back then that you were left with only a Soul Body."
