"I don't remember it, and I don't want to remember it at all. I only want to be with my master! But, but… some fragments of my memories appeared inside my head when I entered this place…"
Veia screamed hysterically. Anyone who has been raped would never want to remember it. It was a physical and psychological trauma that would make their stomach churn just thinking about it.
Her days these past few days have been happy. She found herself a master that would care for her. Just the fact that he was willing to chase her down here is proof.
But alas, some fragments of her soul must have been trapped in here and failed to dissipate fully so it merged with her soul. The vague memories were both alien and familiar to her.
She doesn't remember anything else besides this corpse in front of her. It was the source of her strong grievances and also her trauma.
"I never thought that such a thing is possible…"
The corpse murmured to itself. It was not well versed in the subjects about the soul as it hadn't reached the Nascent Soul stage. Only at that level would cultivators touch upon the mysteries of the soul.
"Hmph! Just letting you breathe longer makes the air in here stink!"
Floriana Sabina finally had enough of this corpse. She hates this rapist through and through. She did a slicing motion between it and Veia.
An illusory blade appeared and sliced in the middle of Veia and the dried corpse. A thin red line appeared between them and was sliced without any resistance.
"NOOOO!! HOW DID YOU KNOW!?"
The corpse roared in agitation. Even Nascent Soul stage cultivators should not be capable of sensing his Blood Origin Thread. Unless…
"DON'T TELL ME-! YOU'RE A MANA DOMINION CULTIVATOR!?"
The fear in the corpse's bulging eyes could not be anymore evident. The realization that it was facing the strongest existence in the world made its dried heart beat furiously. It turned around and quickly flew away for its life. Revenge was good, but dying is not good. It could only swallow its thoughts of revenge right now.
"Hmph!"
Floriana Sabina snorted and pulled the corpse that was flying away. The corpse had no strength to resist as it clawed outward hoping to stop itself from moving backward.
"SENIOR, HAVE MERCY!"
The corpse shouted back in terror. The power that was displayed by this little girl is beyond it to resist.
"I will seal you in this place. When Veia returns here in the future it will be the deciding factor whether you will live or die. If you lose to her, you die. If you win, you win."
Floriana Sabina made a long sequence of hand seals. A bright white flaming cage appeared around the corpse and shrunk down into its body. The cage disappeared and the corpse fell down into the coffin with a thud. She swiped her fingers across and closed the coffin shut.
"-!"
The corpse couldn't open its mouth as it was also sealed by Floriana Sabina. This corpse is too powerful for her to give it the ability to speak. If on some odd day someone wanders here, he wouldn't be able to talk to them.
"Stupid lewd demon, this key is yours."
Floriana Sabina threw a white and illusory-like key to Veia.
Veia was breathing in and out deeply. The feeling of having her blood out of her control was such an awful experience.
She raised her hand and barely caught the key. A look of gratitude appeared on her face as she looked at Floriana Sabina.
"T-thank you, Grandmaster!"
Floriana Sabina blushed when she saw that Veia was being really sincere.
"Hmph! I didn't do it for you!"
Floriana Sabina snorted and turned away. She flew towards Rant Valo who had been running forward to catch up to them.
"Hahhhh, hahhhh, hahhh… You left me…"
Rant Valo complained as he caught his breath. The adrenaline rush he felt earlier was so strong that he didn't even care if he was tired, he just ran towards them. Now that things have calmed down, his adrenaline rush died down and the toll on his body appeared.
"Good disciple!"
Floriana Sabina nodded in satisfaction at Rant Valo doing his best to help. Even though he did not do much, it was still something. He was still the reason that they have gotten into this place at such a quick pace.
"Master, don't leave me behind like that."
Rant Valo had finally caught the majority of his breath and said to her. He got worried earlier when Floriana Sabina suddenly disappeared and the next thing he knew was that the enemy was already defeated.
"You were too weak, Disciple. Maybe next time."
Floriana Sabina didn't just leave Rant Valo earlier because she was feeling so, but because if she somehow makes a slip-up it will be Rant Valo paying the price. Considering Rant Valo's cultivation level, that price could have been death.
"What was that corpse anyway?"
Rant Valo had been meaning to ask this question ever since he saw Floriana Sabina open the coffin and then when it flew into the air.
"It was a weakened Peak Core Formation stage vampire demon."
Floriana Sabina explained to Rant Valo.
"It was also the reason Veia was in her current state..."
Floriana Sabina continued. Since Rant Valo was quite far, it would be hard for someone like him who was not a cultivator to have heard what they talked about in the center.
"It was!? Why didn't you kill it?"
Rant Valo looked at the coffin in shock. That powerful corpse was the person that Veia will take revenge on.
"The stupid lewd demon asked for it herself. She probably wants to kill it herself in the future."
Floriana Sabina was reminded of the determination that was in Veia's face earlier. She can only vaguely remember it but the grievances were ingrained into those remnants of her soul that she absorbed.
