Primordial Essence Blood

"Lan Fozi, have you really thought this through?"

"Even if your parents cannot detect it for now, the risk still exists, and it is enormous. The human world is completely unfamiliar territory to you. With your immense body and such a distinctive soul beast aura, the moment you approach land, the powerful among humans will sense you..."

"But you have a way, don't you, Ursula?"

Lan Fozi eagerly interrupted Ursula, shifting her enormous body forward again until she nearly touched the altar.

The light of hope rekindled in her eyes.

"You're so powerful, and you know so much! You know about all those interesting things in the human world, and you can even find their belongings... you must have a way to let me visit the human world without being discovered, right?"

Lan Fozi's logic was simple and direct: Ursula had shown that she knew the human world, so she ought to have the ability to help her get there, too.

It was the inevitable conclusion drawn from trust built over many years.

Ursula fell silent.

She raised her eyes, her deep,dark green pupils gazing into Lan Fozi's eyes, so full of longing and trust. Only after a long while did she let out a deep sigh.

That sigh was filled with helplessness, concession, and a trace of tenderness stirred by sincere emotion.

"Oh, you... I really don't know what to do with you." Ursula's voice softened, carrying an elder's complicated mixture of exasperation and affection toward a willful child.

She turned her head slightly, seemingly making one last attempt to resist.

"A way... is not entirely out of the question."

Those words were like a beam of light shining into Lan Fozi's heart.

Her enormous eyes instantly blazed with astonishing radiance, and her entire body trembled slightly with excitement.
