A land of ruins?
Cheng Shi frowned and began searching through his memories.
His only trip to the Land of Decay was during the Trial of Corruption, where he resonated with the history of Kinraul, witnessed the truth of the fracture of Order, and obtained the containers of Corruption and Prosperity.
But Cheng Shi clearly remembered that at the time of the sinking, apart from Kinraul, Lideila, and the dying Leleer, there was no one else at the scene.
How could the lark have ever seen itself?
Where did she hide back then?
Cheng Shi looked at Bai Ling again, his questioning gaze lingering on her face. But when he casually glanced at the longbow behind her, a flash of inspiration struck him, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Bai Ling probably didn't hide at all; she met him openly and honestly!
At the time, he didn't realize she had been there because he still thought of Lark as a sensory hunter, not a beast tamer of some kind of faith [deception]!
If I had known earlier that the other person had changed their faith, perhaps I would have noticed some clues!
That sparrow!
Do you remember the sparrow that once landed on the Mother Tree of Fear beside the Sea of Desire?
At the time, Cheng Shi thought he was hallucinating due to the desires of the Desire Sea. He even asked Brother Zui for confirmation, but the damned Brother Zui scolded him, and the matter was dropped.
Looking back now, that sparrow was probably the animal that the animal trainer in front of me had trained!
Seeing the change in Cheng Shi's expression, Bai Ling knew that the clever Fate Weaver had guessed everything. She nodded and admitted:
Yes, that's me.
Is that you?
Cheng Shi was taken aback. "Isn't that your tamed beast?"
Bai Ling shook her head, finally managing a smile. "No, that was me. Although my benefactor repeatedly instructed me not to go in person to avoid being exposed, I couldn't help myself."
At that time, I had only recently become an animal trainer, and my animal training skills were limited. I was afraid that if something went wrong, I wouldn't be able to handle it in time, so I risked going myself..."
As she spoke, the lark transformed into the familiar bird in front of Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi's gaze narrowed slightly:
"Is this the sparrow? You have the ability to transform?"
"......"
Bai Ling instantly transformed back into human form, looked at Cheng Shi with a strange expression, and said in a low voice:
"Yes, I can transform into my own tamed beast."
But... this isn't a sparrow, it's a lark!
I was so worried for so long, afraid you'd recognize me and disobey my benefactor's orders. Turns out you don't even know what a lark looks like...
"???"
Cheng Shi choked up.
Ah... this is a lark?
Of course I recognize him, he just looks like a sparrow.
Cheng Shi's lips twitched slightly, and he gave a slight salute [silence].
Having said all that, Cheng Shi understood Bai Ling's thoughts. Back in the Land of Depravity, this little lark neither wanted to be recognized by her nor wanted to be recognized by her. Otherwise, given the beast tamer's ability to transform, she would never have transformed into a lark that could expose her identity.
However, Cheng Shi didn't know the lark at all, and their chance encounter was missed in such a muddle.
However, Cheng Shi still frowned as he listened, very concerned about what Bai Ling was trying to tell him.
Bailing knew that the key to this conversation was information, so she quickly explained in detail how she had converted to [deception] and what task the God of Joy had given her.
My mission is...
While the Mother Tree of Fear is dying, I bring you the [Corruption] container.
But I can't tell you any of this.
"!!!!!"
Cheng Shi's expression turned serious in an instant. Sure enough, Le Zishen was the mastermind behind this matter.
Cheng Shi, who already knew too much, was not shocked. After all, he had already obtained many containers. He was just curious about where Bai Ling’s [Corruption] container came from. After all, that was Tria’s container.
Bai Ling pursed her lips and lowered her head to say:
“Tria, He has always been with me.”
"?" Cheng Shi was stunned. "What do you mean by 'on you'?"
Bai Ling gave a bitter laugh, her tone extremely complex:
"From the moment the gods descended and the [Faith Game] began, I encountered Him at the starting point of my destiny."
I didn't know that the tokens of the gods couldn't speak. I thought everyone was the same and would receive guidance from the gods, which is why I approached Him.
At that time, I didn't know who He was. It wasn't until later, when I met the Deceitful...Benefactor, that I realized the reason I was able to meet Tria at the beginning of my destiny was because the [Lord of Compassion] was fleeing for his life.
In his panic, He found a similar aura and stumbled upon the starting point of my destiny.
"?"
Cheng Shi was truly shocked this time. A god was fleeing for his life when the gods descended. Who was he hiding from?
Could it be...?
Cheng Shi's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Bai Ling, who nodded: "That's right, He is fleeing from His benefactor's pursuit."
He truly is a master of humor!
Cheng Shi's expression became incredibly interesting: "Why is the God of Music hunting down Tria?"
As soon as he asked the question, Cheng Shi shut up, because he realized that he had asked a pointless question, the answer of which was obvious.
For the sake of depravity!
The fact that Delahirco was "imprisoned" in the Nightmare of the Others shows that the God of Pleasure is sparing no effort in using "defilement" to make people explore the sea of desire, and He is very interested in "defilement".
