Looking at this incredible woman, she reeked of danger and mystery. But at the same time, she also had an unearthly beauty. Her hair and eyes the colour of scarlet blood, her fangs and pointy ears gave her the features of something fabulous.
- So, what do you have to get used to? So what if I touched your ear? No big deal... - Kai said, pretending to be a fool.
- You know. In the past, whole clans could die for such an act. - Kessia replied calmly.
- Ah, so I'm an orphan. There will be no one to kill... And you can't touch me since you've already settled in my Spiritual Sea. So I'm sorry, you'll have to forgive me. Hehehe. - Said Kai and laughed stupidly.
- That's it, don't break the comedy. Don't touch me again. Although I won't kill you, but you'll be in agony for a day. - With a smile said the girl.
Listening to this, Kai again started to examine Cassia from head to toe and back again. She was now walking slowly with her small and beautiful feet towards him. Walking barefoot, it seemed like she was almost floating. It was evident that she only barely touched the ground with her toes.
- You know, such a price is not bad for touching such beauty... - Kai said rubbing his chin.
There was a bit of play and provocation in Kai's behaviour. But that didn't mean that his initial reaction of shock was playful. He was indeed enraptured by the girl's beauty. But now that he was starting to come round. Kai realised that he shouldn't be fooled... This girl was already an incredible number of years old. Before this, Kai couldn't even imagine that someone so ancient could exist.
"Okay, I need to come to my senses and be a little more respectful" - Kai thought and regained his tentative seriousness.
- Okay, okay, I won't do it again. Hehehe. - Kai smiled and continued, "You said earlier that you needed a quiet place to recuperate. What did you mean by that? - He asked curiously.
Fluttering slowly, Kessia stopped two metres away from Kai. She looked at him and said:
- You have beautiful eyes. Hee hee. - With a smile, the girl voiced out. It seemed she also liked to joke around and piss people off.
- Of course she did. They're just like yours now! - Kai parried, complimenting her back, -But you didn't answer the question. - He said with a smile.
For some reason, ever since the beginning of their acquaintance, they were constantly trying to tease and sarcasm each other. Perhaps it had all started because of Kessia's initial oppressiveness and Kai's unruly nature. Though now it seemed that they quite liked each other. But the bickering manner of conversation persisted and only got worse.
- You're pissing me off... I'll explain," Kessia said with feigned irritation.
The more they talked, the more sociable she became. It seemed that she even started to show a larger palette of emotions.
In fact, this girl had spent an incredible amount of years in confinement. She had been alone for a huge period of time... And only Kessia herself, knew exactly how long. Now, having met someone interesting, she was finally beginning to remember the beauty of communicating with another being. And most importantly, she was in his Spiritual Sea, and thus safe.
One could say that by passing on their bloodline and settling their souls in Kai's Spiritual Sea, they had united. Therefore, they would definitely not harm each other. Kessia didn't want to be lost in the world again, imprisoned in a book. Kai didn't want to harm his Spirit Sea by expelling the girl. Especially since she knew the secret of his energy, and he had no other leads.
- So why don't you say anything? Explain! My physical body is standing naked in the middle of the room right now. I don't have much time. - Kai said irritably.
- Maybe I should just kill you? - Raising an eyebrow, Kessia asked.
- Yeah, go ahead. Good luck finding someone else with an open Spirit Sea. At the same time you'll spare me from your retarded threats... - Kai replied, rolling his eyes.
- That's it. Let's stop... - Kessia said, exhaling a full breath, - My soul and bloodline are sealed in the book. Because I don't have a physical body, my power is extremely limited. That being said, I have spent countless years in isolation, draining the rest of my strength...'' Kessia began to explain.
- Are you very weak now? - Kai asked.
- I have already told you that I am very straightforward and I speak plainly. So I won't lie here either... Yes, I'm incredibly weak right now. The last of my strength has gone into passing on the bloodline. But don't be fooled, without it, I wouldn't have been able to travel to your Spiritual Sea. Such a thing would simply be impossible...'' Kessia continued to explain.
- Do you have a way to recover? Do you need something from me? - Kai asked directly.
Although they were constantly having a verbal altercation. But Kai realised that he was already getting incredible benefits from this girl. And for now, he didn't know how many more benefits he could reap. At the very least, she knows the truth of his energy. But the main reason, was because of two other factors.
Firstly, Kai was not ungrateful and always repaid his debts.
Secondly, he really liked this girl. She seemed to be close to his heart. He sincerely wanted to help her.
Hearing Kai's offer of help, Kessia even had a little bit of a long-forgotten feeling. She felt a slight gratitude in her heart. She seemed to be finally convinced of the rightness of her decision to rely on this strange guy.
- No. You can't help me yet. But thank you for offering. - Cassia said with a smile, and continued, ''I'll go back to the book and enter deep cultivation. I need a lot of time to accumulate strength and strengthen my soul. Only then, will I be able to continue to exist in conditional safety and keep the chance of... Anyway, I need to strengthen my soul. - Interrupting the last sentence, Kessia summarised.
- How long will it take? Maybe I can produce some pills for you? I am not a bad alchemist. - Kai asked, offering more options.
- Unfortunately, I don't have a physical body. So, I can only help myself. - Kessia said, smiling, "I can't say for sure about the time... But it won't be quick, and most likely I'll fall into anabiosis. To be honest, you'll even be able to kill me safely. Haha. - Smiling evilly, the girl said while looking at Kai.
- In that case, I'd rather capture you. I won't let such a beauty die. - Kai replied wryly.
- Okay, I'll take your word for it. But if I die, I won't even know about it, so why worry? I don't have any other options anyway. Maybe before that, I should take your sharp tongue with me? - Cassia asked with a smile.
When she smiled, her sharp fangs showed, making her incredibly charming.
- Unless you bite it off with your teeth. Then I'll do it! Hehehe. - Laughing evilly, Kai said.
- What an idiot you are... - Shaking her head said Kessia.
- Come on. I can see that you like my way of talking. Hahaha. - Laughing loudly, Kai said.
- But I have to admit... When I think that you are not even my great-great-great-great grandmother... - Kai said thoughtfully.
- If you bring it up again, I'll destroy you. I won't care if I go to the next world with you. - Kessia said, looking at Kai unhappily, "And anyway, you are too ignorant. Your view of age and its perception is extremely distorted by your frame of reference. So like I said earlier. Shut up and don't embarrass yourself! - In a despotic manner, Cassia said.
- What do you mean? - Re-questioned Kai, as he was getting curious.
- You wouldn't understand. You wouldn't understand. How many times do I have to tell you again? - Cassia said again.
- Okay, that's it. Are you going to bed or what? I'm standing there naked, I'll catch a cold because of you. - Kai replied irritated.
They started a verbal altercation again and some sharp phrases were exchanged. Only after a few minutes they calmed down and Kessia said:
- Okay Kai. I'm going to go recuperate and I'll most likely be in anabiosis for a long time... I'm relying on you. If you cultivate the Invisible Kings Torture Technique diligently, I'll tell you a few secrets when I return! And about my bloodline... You can cultivate it by absorbing the blood of other creatures. I'll say no more! Hee-hee. - Laughing sweetly, Cassia said.
When she behaved in such a manner, she became even more beautiful. At times like this, it was only her gaze that gave away the danger in her.
- Devouring blood? But I don't have fangs like yours. - With a silly expression on his face, Kai said.
- Eww! Are you an idiot?! You shouldn't drink it! When you kill someone, you'll understand the principle of action. Once you get my bloodline, you'll know how to act on instinct. You could say it's in your blood now. Hahaha. - Said Cassia, and turned around and started walking towards the book.
- Good. Thanks for the warning... I hope you succeed, I'll be looking forward to seeing your extraterrestrial beauty again! Hahaha. - Shouted after Kai.
Looking at Kessia's graceful figure, Kai saw her turn back into blood and fly back into the book. The next moment, there was no hint of this incredible girl's recent presence.
