"Nothing." Luo Youyou dragged out the ending tone of each word, leisurely shaking her hand and pouring half a cup of blood, as if it were a glass of aged wine. Her indifferent expression made it impossible to tell her mood.
The more his mood was unclear, the more nervous Jiayi became. His fingers were clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned even paler from the excessive force.
"Three months, and you haven't brought back any news." Luo Youyou suddenly leaned close to Jiayi's face. "Tell me, what's the point of me keeping you around?"
Jiayi unconsciously took two steps back, trying to find a safe distance for himself, but he found that no matter how many steps he took back, it was in vain. Luo Youyou just stared at him with those eyes like a deep pool, and he felt like he was in a quagmire. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank.
Jiayi didn't dare to answer. This wasn't a question in the first place. He thought he would be met with Luo Youyou's fury, but in the blink of an eye, a red skirt disappeared from his sight. Only the terrifying fragrance of the red spider lily remained in the air, which made him feel terrified...
After the complete fusion of their souls, Luo Youyou became even more intolerant of sunlight. She had long since grown accustomed to living in darkness, as if sunlight and warmth had vanished from her life. Arriving at the temple in heaven again, without Mu Yaxi's barrier, she suddenly realized that the light still existed, and she couldn't avoid or bypass it, just like now.
The air was scorching hot, and waves of heat hit her face. Standing in the temple, even without being exposed to the sunlight from heaven, she felt a tingling sensation all over her skin, as if it would be ignited in the next second.
The Twelve Sacred Artifacts have been returned to their places, so why can't the Blood Key find out any information at all?
She quickly found the blood key's totem, which resembled a golden flute. Her heart skipped a beat. Why did it feel so familiar? Where had she seen it before?
She slowly squatted down, searching her mind for clues in her memory, and her fingers gradually touched the totem. Before she could feel the totem's patterns, the world suddenly darkened, and she was sucked into a different space by a huge mysterious force.
A woman's shrill laughter came from afar, carrying with it a kind of wildness and evil charm of rebirth, which made Luo Youyou, who had just been feeling so hot that she was almost burning, feel a chill emanating from the bottom of her heart.
The laughter got louder and louder, coming from far away and getting closer...
Luo Youyou held her breath, trying to discern the direction of the voice. It was clearly one person's voice, but it seemed to be coming from all directions. The laughter was full of aggression, as if someone would suddenly swoop in from some angle and deliver a fatal blow to her at any moment.
The sense of crisis made her want to escape from this place, but for some reason, a voice in her body made her want to know more about who this woman who suddenly appeared in the other dimension was, and who else, like her, had the ability to transfer space.
All the doubts were like a thick fog pressing down on Luo Youyou's head, making her unable to move. In the moment of panic, a woman with a strong scent of Lycoris radiata appeared in front of Luo Youyou. She was so close that her nose was almost touching hers, greedily sniffing the scent on her body.
Luo Youyou calmly took two steps back, taking in the newcomer's features. Like her, she possessed a face that could captivate everyone: thick black hair, scarlet eyes, and creamy skin. Her features even bore a resemblance to her own. This woman, so aggressive and dangerous, unexpectedly evoked a sense of familiarity.
"Who are you?" Luo Youyou asked, staring straight into her eyes.
The woman was slightly surprised, then her devilish smile returned and she asked, "Who is Barlow to you?"
"My father." Luo Youyou did not hide anything and answered calmly.
The woman burst into laughter and looked Luo Youyou up and down.
"Who are you?" Luo Youyou felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, and continued to ask with a frown.
The woman's fingers gently stroked Luo Youyou's cheek. "You let me out, and you still ask who I am?"
"I let you out?" Luo Youyou was confused.
"Didn't you collect the thirteen sacred artifacts just to free me and fulfill the three promises I made? Why are you here so confused without even knowing who you're trying to free?"
"You..." Luo Youyou still couldn't believe it, "Are you the blood father?"
No one has ever said that the Blood Father is a woman. Moreover, there is clearly one missing from the Thirteen Sacred Artifacts, so why would they let her out?
"Blood Father? Is that the name my people gave me?" The woman became interested in the name "Blood Father".
"They always thought that the blood father was Cain." Luo Youyou also looked at the woman in front of her, trying to find some flaws in her expression to prove that she was not the blood father.
"Cain?" The woman laughed again, a tear in the corner of her eye. "He's just a plaything of mine."
Luo Youyou was surprised for a moment, but didn't show it. "Stop pretending. The thirteen sacred artifacts haven't been collected yet. Who are you?"
The woman gave a playful smile, "It seems that brat hasn't told you yet."
"who?"
"Barlow."
…
Luo Youyou was slightly angry. No one in the fifth-dimensional world dared to call Barlow by his name, and she actually called him a brat!
"Are you angry, little girl?" The woman hooked Luo Youyou's chin, and the action was exactly the same as hers.
"You'd better give me a reasonable reason." Luo Youyou's teeth were chattering.
"My name is Lilith. Go ask that brat who I am."
Lilith... Luo Youyou pondered this name, a very distant name. She seemed to have seen it in the ancient books collected by Jiayi, but only a few strokes of the pen. She glanced over it and didn't pay much attention to it.
"Since I made a promise, I will naturally keep it. Tell me, what is your wish?" Lilith pinched Luo Youyou's face.
Luo Youyou was even more angry, as no one dared to touch her.
She opened Lilith's hand and said, "I will naturally find out your identity."
Lilith nodded slowly, pointing her slender finger at Luo Youyou's nose, "Tell me your wish before I regret it."
"First, resurrect Luo Yun and Xue Ren. Second, allow Barlow to enter and exit the underworld freely." Although he was very unhappy about being accused, Luo Youyou still expressed his wish with a fluke.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Lilith smacked her lips and shook her head, "When did the vampires start to be bound by their blood?"
"Stop talking nonsense, is it okay or not?!"
Lilith laughed mockingly, her voice still harsh, "And the third one?"
Luo Youyou thought about it. Her original wish was to restore order to the Five Realms, but as long as Lilith was there, she would be the one who absolutely controlled the Five Realms. If the power of life and death in the Five Realms rested in her hands, she would always be her greatest threat...
