Chapter 197 (continued)

However, Mental Invasion would cause irreversible damage to Li Yang. Given how much Xuanyuan cherishes the Bone Peach Mother Tree, he would not allow anyone to use Mental Invasion on her.

Li Yang trusted Lianxin completely, but the Flower of Evil lacked the prerequisite of having Lianxin.

Can the Flower of Evil feign death like the Lianxin?

He has a very flamboyant personality, unlike Lianxin who is quiet and low-key.

That's the first concern; the second concern is...

Li Yang continued, "Although the Flower of Evil only absorbs malice, it still devoured quite a few people in its early years. I'm afraid that if I sign Symbiotic Contract with it, my Spirit Sea will be polluted."

The Flower of Evil had designs on Li Yang, so it acted increasingly harmless.

But Li Yang always remembered that this flower could devour people at will.

Whether it's the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain or the Single-Horn Domain... both have become hellish places on earth because of the Flower of Evil.

The evil in the flower of Flower of Evil is instinct.

It's like breathing and eating.

Li Yang never overestimated herself; she was, after all, a human being with emotions and desires. She feared being influenced by the flower of Flower of Evil, having her darker side awakened, and then...

Lianxin said, "I can't help with your first concern, because it depends on the Flower of Evil; but I can help with your second concern."

Li Yang's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Are you confident?"

Lianxin: "Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I understand your Spirit Sea very well. I will keep a close eye on the Flower of Evil, and I will be able to sense any malice emanating from it immediately..."

Li Yang thought of the Heart Worm quest again and asked carefully, "Will it affect you? I hope you don't absorb that malice."

Lianxin's voice grew even gentler as she said, "No, fellow Daoist, I have never eaten a person. No matter how much malice there is, it cannot affect me."

He was somewhat unsure how to explain his state of mind, but Li Yang understood. She gave an example. "... like flies not landing on eggs without cracks?"

Lianxin smiled and nodded vigorously, saying, "That's right!"

Li Yang smiled too, and said sincerely, "Lianlian is so good!"

If there is anything truly sacred in this world, it must be this Ninth-Grade Lianxin.

It's quite strange, though. The Lianxin and the Flower of Evil both originate from the Lotus Domain, yet one is a symbol of evil, while the other is pure and flawless, untouched by any dust.

With Lianxin resolving the second concern, Li Yang would have to ask the Flower of Evil about the first one.

The Flower of Evil knew that Li Yang was communicating with Lianxin.

In fact, the communication in the Spirit Sea is only a matter of a moment, but the Flower of Evil now understands Li Yang relatively well and knows that when he occasionally loses focus, he is talking to Lianxin.

I wonder what Pure Lianxin will say?

He's not laughing at himself, is he?

The Flower of Evil previously thought Pure Lianxin was too foolish, needing to rely on a Huaxia person to return to the Lotus Domain, but now...

No!

They are different. The Flower of Evil doesn't need Li Yang to send him back to the Lotus Domain; he just doesn't want to miss out on that massive amount of malice!

The Flower of Evil doesn't rely on anyone; it only trusts itself. Therefore, it needs a lot of malice to constantly consolidate its power!

The Divine Venerable Realm is not Invincibility; on the contrary, to wield the corresponding Authority of God, one must constantly draw upon the relevant power.

Otherwise, they would lose their corresponding Authority of God.

The Flower of Evil had finally found such a "good cook" as Li Yang, so of course they couldn't bear to waste any of the meals she prepared.

Li Yang looked at the Flower of Evil and voiced her concerns.

After hearing this, the Flower of Evil sneered, "Do you think I'm a Pure Lianxin with nothing to my name? I'm Divine Venerable Realm!"

Li Yang's voice suddenly deepened, and he said coldly, "Lianxin is Lianxin; you are not allowed to slander him."

Flower of Evil: "..."

He felt inexplicably uncomfortable and was about to retort, but then he remembered Li Yang's personality and swallowed his words.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Li Yang, but rather that Li Yang had too many weaknesses about him now.

The coordinates of the Evil Domain have been exposed, and the elite troops of the Huaxia Heavenly Palace are stationed in the surrounding area. Add to that Li Yang's influence within Xuanyuan...

If the Flower of Evil were to break ties with her, she could really destroy him.

Of course, what he feared most was losing that delicious malice.

Thinking about the Flower of Evil now, it seems unbelievable.

Back in the Huaxia Realm Domain, when he remotely sensed the existence of the Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearer, he only thought of her as a delicious snack, assuming that Pure Lianxin was nurturing her, waiting to devour her after her cultivation level improved.

Little did they expect that this was not a delicious snack at all, but rather a growing monster.

Pure Lianxin was completely under her control, and now he had unknowingly fallen into her clutches.

Although the treatment was good, he was ultimately being manipulated, so it's understandable that he would be somewhat unhappy.

The Flower of Evil coughed lightly and said, "Where did I slander him? His name is Pure Lianxin!"

The pronunciations of "pure" and "stupid" are very similar, making them easy to misunderstand.

However, this time the Flower of Evil was called very clearly; it was pure, not stupid.

Li Yang didn't say anything more, but instead asked, "If we sign Symbiotic Contract, how will you conceal your presence?"

The Flower of Evil rolled her eyes and said, "I will create my own Spacetime Puppet, guaranteed to be exactly the same as Pure Lianxin. If he can fake death, so can I. There will be absolutely no malice intended."

Li Yang: "!"

She understood the meaning of the flower of Flower of Evil.

His physical body remains in the Evil Domain and will not enter Li Yang's Spirit Sea.

He doesn't need his main body to enter; a clone will suffice.

Could his clones be Spacetime Puppet?

Li Yang hadn't thought about this before, but after the Flower of Evil mentioned it, she vaguely understood.

So this is how you can use Time Rewind.

However, not everyone can use this. Unless someone like the Flower of Evil has lived for a long enough years, it is impossible to extract so many Spacetime Puppet.

900,000 years...

That's a truly terrifying lifespan.

Compared to the Lianxin's 900,000 years of feigned death, the Flower of Evil has experienced much more.

He not only has this current state of overwhelming malice, but there was also a time when he pretended to be dead.

Li Yang's biggest worry was that the Divine Venerable of the Upper Three Realms would sense her malice, but at that time, the Flower of Flower of Evil had not cultivated the Dao of Evil at all, so there was no such risk.

Li Yang felt relieved.

This Symbiotic Contract can indeed be signed.

The remaining question is the details of the contract.

The Flower of Evil added, "You don't need to think so much. If I go to the First Realm Domain with you, not only will I not be exposed, but I can also protect Lianxin from the risk of exposure."

Li Yang's heart tightened, and she looked up at him. "What do you mean?"

"Don't underestimate Daowu. He's far more powerful than Xuanyuan. Xuanyuan might just think you have good talent, but Daowu understands the Lotus Domain better and might even be able to sense the Lianxin."

Li Yang asked again, "Then why would bringing you along prevent Lianlian from being exposed?"

The sound of "Lianlian" made the Flower of Flower of Evil's back teeth ache. He sneered and said, "He is the ultimate Yang, and I am the ultimate Yin. If we are both in your Spirit Sea, we will achieve perfect balance, and no one will be able to sense us."

Li Yang: "!"

Extreme Yang and Extreme Yin...

Pure Lianxin and Flower of Evil...

Is that really their relationship?

The Lotus Domain is truly mysterious, capable of nurturing beings of both extreme yang and extreme yin.

Who exactly stole them back then?

What is the current situation in the Lotus Domain?

Li Yang suppressed these thoughts.

Thinking about it now is useless; there are too few clues.

Once she reaches the Ninth-Grade Supreme, she will definitely find a way to go to the Lotus Domain to investigate.

After hearing what the Flower of Evil had to say, Li Yang no longer had any concerns.

There's no need for the Flower of Evil to lie to her, because if Li Yang were exposed, it would do him no good, and might even put his life in danger.

Even if he didn't care about Li Yang, the Flower of Evil wouldn't risk her own life.

Li Yang had already gone through all the possible risks in his mind.

She also understood that nothing is without risk, but as long as the advantages outweighed the risks, then it was worth doing.

The benefits of the Flower of Evil going to the First Realm Domain with her are obvious. Even without mentioning what he said, Li Yang's safety alone has been greatly improved.

The Flower of Evil is, after all Divine Venerable Authority. There are many things that Li Yang and Lianxin may not be able to sense, but he can.

Li Yang's expression softened, and she said to the Flower of Evil, "Then, let's examine the contents of the contract."

The Flower of Evil swiftly replied, "50 million malice."

Li Yang: "..."

Although she didn't know the exact amount, she knew from the number that the Flower of Evil was asking for an exorbitant sum.

It doesn't matter. The more difficult his demands are to meet, the longer the symbiosis will last. And this symbiosis doesn't do Li Yang any harm; in fact, it brings a lot of benefits.

Moreover, since he had already made such an outrageous demand, Li Yang felt more confident in making her own requests.

She wanted to take the opportunity to collect some more Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower.

Li Yang readily agreed, "Alright, I'll help you raise 50 million in malice, and you give me 50 Grade Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower."

Flower of Evil: "???"

He exclaimed in shock, "What are you saying? Are you even speaking human language?!"

Li Yang looked up at him.

"You..." The Flower of Evil took a deep breath, "Do you think the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower is some common Star Plant in your Nature Department?! 50 of them, I've only cultivated a total of..."

He realized he had misspoke, cleared his throat, and said, "No! That's too much!"

Li Yang asked him, "Isn't the 50 million you mentioned a lot of malice?"

The Flower of Evil was speechless for a moment.

Li Yang asked him, "How much malice did you obtain in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain?"

The Flower of Evil blooms silently.

What about at the Lost Space Society?

The Flower of Evil hesitated for a moment before cautiously saying, "50 million isn't much. Look, you're only in the Thousand Flowers Realm Domain, yet you've helped me raise 5 million in Malice."
