"Them..."
Saileni looked up, trying to remember.
"Oh, it seems they're going to officially select a branch location for the Church, so I went on a world tour with Screwllum Srot to pick out a suitable planet."
"Yay! It's the new stronghold of the Church of Eternity! But why did you bring Screwllum along?"
Saileni shrugged helplessly and spread her hands. "There's nothing I can do. Chair Blake's reputation in the universe hasn't been that great lately. As for Lady Fulisina... haha, do I need to say more?"
Xing and March 7th thought for a moment about what it would be like if Fulisina were to give that self-introduction...
"This body is both the blade of Eternity and the hand of solace!"
In her imagination, Fulisina lightly brushed the edge of her veil with her fingertips. "The veil is not for concealment, but a barrier against mortal ignorance, and a sacred vessel carrying ancient prayers."
The next second, she covered her eyes with her hands, and her tone became agitated:
"What I hear... is the sigh of stars annihilating! It is the echo of souls returning to the [ Furnace of Eternity ]!"
"What I Purification are the blasphemous words that corrupt the mind, the chaotic ripples that distort destiny!"
Fulisina's tone suddenly turned cold, her pupils flashing with a sharp, icy light. "If your heart yearns for the light, and thirsts for redemption, the radiance of prayer will cleanse you of all dust!"
"If you are burdened with sin, and your heart is filled with evil... (specifically referring to heretics who believe in [ Destruction ])"
As she spoke, an invisible pressure seemed to emanate from her. "Then... I too will become the most merciless judgment of [ Eternity ], and your soul will have nowhere to hide under the gaze of these [ Eyes of the Abyss ], until it is annihilated!"
Before Eternity, any repentance is futile!
Finally, Fulisina formed an ancient and complex [∞] hand seal in front of her chest, her voice regaining its usual ethereal quality, yet carrying an undeniable sense of finality.
Remember my name— Fulisina. May the Eternity starlight guide your path!
Without lingering at the milk tea shop, March 7th returned to Alchemy Commission with Xing, where they happened to see Jiaoqiu waiting for them not far away.
"Hey--! Jiaoqiu, do you know what this [ Red Dragon ] you're talking about is?"
"Miss Lingsha has already contacted me, and I am aware of the general outline of what happened."
Jiaoqiu kept his eyes narrowed, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"It's all your fault for talking nonsense! Lingsha must have already given you a good scolding!"
"Sigh~ It's all my fault! But criticism aside... in the end, Lingsha still asked me if I needed [ Red Dragon Blood]..."
"Let me make this clear first—I've thought it through—it's not necessary!" March 7th said earnestly.
"... But I said, ' Miss March 7th's training is important, she definitely needs it,' so she asked me to bring you a bottle."
Jiaoqiu took out a glass bottle containing warm [ Red Dragon Blood] from his bosom and waved it at the two of them.
Xing glanced at it briefly, and was shocked to find that the bottle contained about 500 milliliters of [ Red Dragon Blood]!
"Huh? So much?! Miss Lingsha, are you going into shock?"
I didn't expect Lingsha to be so generous on March 7th. Donating so much blood isn't unusual, is it? Don't you Vidyadhara ever get anemia?
"... Are you sure you don't need it?" Jiaoqiu asked repeatedly.
"You really, really don't need it!"
March 7th hurriedly waved his hand, this was too frightening.
Jiaoqiu then turned her gaze to Xing, "Since you're already here, Xing, would you like a drink?"
"I don't want to be human anymore! Jiaojiao! Let me drink it!"
"Wow~" March 7th was shocked by Xing's determination. "Xing, do you want to become an existence beyond humanity?"
"Your courage is commendable. Take it."
Xing was determined to go all out. He snatched the glass bottle with swift, fluid movements: opened the cap, swallowed, and drank the [ Red Dragon Blood] in one gulp.
Mmm~ Smooth and thick, with a fruity sweetness and just the right amount of tartness, and a sandy texture that goes down smoothly. I never expected [ Red Dragon Blood] to taste like this.
Overall, the taste was pretty good.
Just as Xing closed her eyes to savor the moment, Lingsha had already arrived in front of the three of them.
" Jiaoqiu, stop teasing them. That bottle of yours probably contains Xi Hong juice."
"What... it's juice?! You dare to mess with me?!"
"Xing, I sensed a hint of disappointment in your words. Is it my fault?"
"It seems so."
Xing smacked her lips; this Sunset Red juice was actually quite delicious.
"Sigh~ I see now, this isn't some test you two devised to teach some kind of lesson, is it?"
"This is a misunderstanding. I just wanted to see how adorable Miss March 7th would react."
March 7th paused for a moment, then said, "... So I didn't get anything at all?"
"How could that be, Miss March 7th? Please think carefully about the medicinal meals you consumed—you achieved Equilibrium diet, a regular sleep schedule, and daily exercise! In the end, you gained a healthy body!"
"I also got to drink the evening red juice!" Xing added.
"A Equilibrium diet and exercise are far more effective than any dubious miracle cure."
"In fantasy plays, elixirs, mutations, and unparalleled martial arts... are actually no different in essence. They are all common lazy techniques used by creators, a way of packaging 'getting something for nothing,' so don't take them seriously."
"But... is there really no such miracle cure in the world?"
"Some sisters, yes! Ye Yan's special milk tea perfectly matches your ideal 'miracle cure'!"
As the chief salesman under [ Eternity ], Xing is prepared to give Lingsha and Jiaoqiu a thorough explanation of the wonderful uses of [ Eternity ] milk tea.
"Hehe~ You remember the legend of the 'elixir of immortality' left behind by the Plagues Author, right? There are indeed miraculous elixirs in the world, but they've already secretly set a price, and I'm afraid none of us can afford to pay it back..."
"I understand." March 7th nodded. "However, I have one more question—if Mr. Jiaoqiu only wanted to invite us for a medicinal meal, why didn't he let me tell my two masters?"
"This is just a little psychological suggestion... After I said that, Miss March 7th, did you feel that the medicinal diet was more effective?"
In other words, March 7th was scammed again...
"Because I was so naive... So it was just a psychological suggestion? I really thought Mr. Jiaoqiu had some kind of secret."
" Miss March 7th, please don't worry. If you need help dealing with Scott, please come to Alchemy Commission anytime. I will definitely help you."
"If Miss March 7th needs my help then, I will come to assist her..."
March 7th was deeply moved to see Lingsha and Jiaoqiu express their support.
"Yes! Thank you, Mr. Jiaoqiu, and thank you, Lingsha!"
So, really nobody cares about this milk tea?
Xing tried to steer the conversation back to milk tea, but unfortunately... she failed.
"[ Eternity ] Beyond that, Miss Xing."
