Chapter 179: The One Who Came Knocking

Chapter 179: The One Who Came Knocking

“Huh? What exactly is this thing?” Zheng Yichen, having just dealt with a Flying Magical Beast, watched as a golden Stream of Light flew away again. This thing’s speed was much faster than his own equipped with a Propulsion Device. He could only watch helplessly as it flew off and disappeared without a trace.

This was already the second time he had encountered a similar situation. This Stream of Light was extremely fast. Before long, it landed beside Deya. Deya looked down at a Ring she wore, which emitted faint points of fluorescent light. This item had been sent from the headquarters of the Sanctuary Church. Its main function was to guide these information-carrying Streams of Light to her.

Of course, all the ones guided to her were related to information about Zheng Yichen. She hadn’t come into contact with this kind of Stream of Light before. Now, with a sudden new one, she immediately began to read the information contained within. Her spirits, which had been somewhat weary from days of tracking, perked up. The place where Zheng Yichen had appeared this time was very close to her!

Even though she had encountered quite a few troubles along the way during this period and had changed her tracking direction several times, these troubles didn’t seem to have delayed her journey. Instead, they turned out to be beneficial… Was it still the effect of that Prophecy Art? Even though Dan Marina had escaped the control of the Sanctuary Church.

Still, the last thing she did… as long as it was still working, that was fine. Completely unaware of anything amiss, Deya continued her pursuit. Zheng Yichen’s abilities were quite troublesome, but he had one ultimate, unavoidable weakness: strength!

She had many ways to bypass Zheng Yichen’s claws and directly restrain him. Faced with her control, Zheng Yichen wouldn’t have much room for resistance.

“Well, well… you’re still alive.” Dan Marina, holding a black flower in her hand, looked at the pale woman before her with a somewhat forced smile, speaking rather unfriendly words!

Trouble, trouble! So it really was major trouble!

Dan Marina gazed somewhat vexedly at the black Threads of Fate entangling her body. No wonder she hadn’t been able to break these few fate threads no matter what she tried before. Turns out they were connected to such a troublesome existence!

The timing of this person looking for her was just perfect, happening to come knocking when she wasn’t at her peak condition. Dealing with this woman now was really a bit bothersome.

Taking a slight step back, Dan Marina’s gaze never left the pale woman in front of her. Tch! If she hadn’t suffered the backlash from the Power of Fate, even though this woman before her was troublesome, wanting to find her? What a joke! She could have just forcibly snapped these fate threads tangled on her body!

But doing so now would only cause the lingering backlash power within her to erupt.

“When did I ever die?” The pale woman pressed forward step by step until she stood before Dan Marina. “As for you, you seem to be regressing, actually willing to lower yourself to do this sort of thing?”

She glanced at the black flower in Dan Marina’s hand, her face wearing a teasing smile. “You, who was always playing with the fates of others, are now entangled by fate yourself. How laughable.”

“You wench…” Dan Marina, her expression extremely unpleasant, reached her hand into her collar, completely unconcerned about her ample bosom trembling from the movement. She pulled out a wisp of gray smoke, which rapidly dissipated under some force.

This was a type of detection method belonging to the pale woman. Don’t think she easily plucked it out just like that; for others, even very powerful ones, it would be hard to detect the existence of such a thing. “Are you provoking me?”

“Habit.” The pale woman watched the furious Dan Marina. She didn’t press her advantage or try to suppress her further based on her reaction… Which Witch who has lived a long time is simple? The fact that Dan Marina was making such a reaction was itself very suspicious. It couldn’t be ruled out that it was an act, nor could it be ruled out that she was preparing to set a trap. As for being fierce on the outside but soft inside?

If the backlash’s web-like patterns on Dan Marina’s body were at their deepest when she was found, then there might have been such a possibility. Now, although those backlash web patterns still existed, they had mostly faded. Under such circumstances, if Dan Marina was truly all bark and no bite, then she absolutely had some scheme.

“Speak, what do you want from me.” Dan Marina gave a light snort, taking out a bottle containing a black liquid from her Personal Space. She casually inserted the black flower into the bottle. The veins of the flower pulsed gently like blood vessels, and the black flower, which was originally half a bud, rapidly bloomed.

“I want to find a special existence~ hmm, should be a Little Dragon.” A ball of gray smoke welled up from the pale woman’s fingertip. This smoke rapidly spread out, covering some traces left by Zheng Yichen at the entrance of the Stone Forest.

“Looking for a dragon? Go to the Dragon Clan then.” Dan Marina curled her lips, her expression unchanging, but in her heart was a huge ‘Crap!’. Although not entirely unexpected, she really did manage to draw this wench out. It also showed Zheng Yichen’s troublemaking ability… even if most of the reason here was brought about by the effect of the Prophecy Art.

“The Dragon Clan? Heh heh…” The pale woman laughed inexplicably. Go to the Dragon Clan? Last time, when she was forced into slumber due to severe injuries, the Dragon Clan was partly to blame!

Go to the Dragon Clan now? Saying she’s looking for someone? Actually, it would be more for seeking revenge, right? And what she’s looking for is a Little Dragon, hmph. Plus, after her own exposure this time, the Dragon Clan, to eliminate the threat for good, would definitely go all out against her even more fiercely than last time. “Are you planning to test my patience?”

“Why would I test your patience? And why should I help you with this for free?” Dan Marina shot a glance at the pale woman. The woman before her was also a troublesome Witch. What was more troublesome was that she didn’t belong to any neutral faction among Witches, but was of the evil and chaotic sort!

Wasn’t the reason she suffered large-scale extermination in the past precisely because the things she did were utterly heinous and provoked public outrage?

She was troublesome, and Dan Marina indicated she herself was troublesome too. If they really fought it out, who was afraid of whom? Especially since she now had allies. If they truly fought to the death, if this pale woman before her didn’t pay a painful price, Dan Marina would write her name backwards.

“What do you want?” The pale woman got straight to the point.

Dan Marina’s eyes shifted slightly. “I remember you have an unused Space Fragment, right? That will do.”

“Hmm? You have quite the scheme in mind.” The pale woman pondered for a moment, glancing at Dan Marina who was smiling rather unpleasantly. An item like a Space Fragment wasn’t of much value to someone who already possessed a Personal Space. Those things, if encountered and not dealt with, would soon dissipate. However, it wasn’t impossible to preserve them. Dan Marina wasn’t really after the Space Fragment in her possession, but rather the container that could seal and preserve Space Fragments. “This thing isn’t of much use to me. I can indeed give it to you if you want, but I want a completely certain answer!”

“You don’t get something for nothing.”

“Aren’t you reassured by how I do things?” Dan Marina said straightforwardly. “Give me the item, and you’ll get the answer you want.”
