"Really? Maybe." The first one leaned forward slightly, holding his chin, and said with interest, "By the way, did you meet an old friend not long ago?"
"old... "
Hearing this, Luo Ling's pupils shrank slightly. Could it be that he was the first one to know about "Tiannu Ba"
Her expression suddenly became more serious, and she asked, "What do you know?"
"Haha, don't ask me, this is your business, I don't know anything." The first one smiled noncommittally, shrugged and said, "I can see everyone, but I can't see you. That's interesting, isn't it?"
The first one always likes to say something ambiguous, which has become her inherent style.
Except for Luo Ling, everyone else was confused.
But this did not prevent their gazes on Luo Ling from gradually deepening. Their eyes flickered slightly, as if they were thinking about something.
The first speaker did not intend to continue the topic. She soon sat up straight and said softly,
"The tea party has begun."
Chapter 44: Huh? Me? (5k)
This was the first time since the Witch Tea Party was founded that everyone was so frank and honest, and everyone except the leader dropped their disguises.
Even Luo Ling was no exception. She had shed the gray mist and revealed her true appearance.
When they saw the true appearance of "Zizhu" for the first time, Yuejian and Tumi were both slightly surprised. They looked at Zizhu for a while, and the facts that they were sure of before seemed to begin to waver.
Previously, I thought that the so-called Iris's sister, Wu Yuan, was actually Zi Zhu in disguise, but now it seems... they are not related at all.
Can Zizhu really disguise the scent of Iris so perfectly that even they can't detect any flaws
However, this little doubt did not affect the continuation of the tea party.
As with every previous tea party, the first person always throws out the important transaction information first, and it seems that this "frank" tea party is no different from the past.
In fact, this is exactly the case. The first one only exudes a mysterious color that can conceal their true identities to take care of the needs of each member. Since they don't need it, it saves some energy.
The First One's facial appearance was never revealed from beginning to end. The only time it was almost exposed was when Luo Ling suddenly attacked and used "Omniscience" on the First One.
But this is only one chance, once it fails it will be gone. In the case of being on guard, Luo Ling's "omniscience" cannot work on the first person.
"It seems that your mental outlook has changed a lot since our last meeting."
The leader's eyes seemed to glance at everyone intentionally or unintentionally, but finally kept his gaze on Luo Ling, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if smiling.
"But, I think... the things we seek won't change much."
Although Luo Ling's expression remained unchanged, he was secretly complaining in his heart, "Don't always look at me like that, as if we are in the same group."
"After all these things, you should all have a better understanding of the so-called path to becoming a god, especially... Yue Jian."
At this point, the first person smiled lightly. Although there was no emotion in his smile, it inexplicably had a hint of mockery.
"Not all 'roads to godhood' can be traversed, but... at least the path I give you will definitely not be a problem."
Yue Jian was silent for a while. The First Person had no involvement in anything concerning "Tian Nu Ba" and she also deliberately avoided the First Person.
She was not worried that the first place would compete with her, but she was worried that due to the first place's favoritism, Zizhu would become her strongest competitor.
Even without the help of the First Place, Zizhu's performance last time was equally terrifying, and she deserves the title of Naraku's Chosen One.
As a result, the first sentence now clearly told Yuejian that it was not that she didn't know about "Tiannu Ba", but she knew from the beginning that this path to becoming a god was not feasible, so she didn't give out any information.
It can also be regarded as a criticism of Yue Jian's self-righteousness.
"Of course, now this matter seems to have taken a turn for the better because of some people." The first one changed his posture slightly, his eyes still stayed on Luo Ling, and continued, "Regarding the information of "Tian Nu Ba", seventeen petals, how many people paid, and how many people traded?"
"... ..."
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes were focused on Luo Ling again.
Luo Ling: “…”
You might as well just click on my name.
Seventeen petals, not too many, but not too few either.
Due to the heavy bleeding before, Yuejian actually doesn't have so many petals anymore. Tumei should still have some, but not more than this. There is no need to say more about Iris, as she hasn't paid back all the money she sold before.
From the very beginning, Xuemei had no interest in the "Road to Godhood". She didn't know why before, but now she knows.
As a sequence god, or a high-risk and weird one, Xuemei is bound by the path. Unless she has experienced the disaster of extinction like Su Wan, and has been contaminated by the cause and effect of "transformation" and "doomsday", and completely transcended, otherwise she will always be the "Gushe Goddess".
It’s not that He doesn’t want to embark on the “road to becoming a god”, it’s that He doesn’t even have the qualifications to become a god, or it could be said that He is already a god.
As for Luo Ling, she had exactly seventeen petals, neither more nor less, and this was something that everyone knew well.
Therefore, this number is quite intriguing.
Needless to say, the others were all thinking in their hearts that why don't you two just focus on the PY trade, there's no need to call everyone over, it would be so unpleasant.
Of course, in reality, this information is something that everyone can exchange for. Even if Luo Ling chooses to trade, others can follow suit.
Moreover, although the price of the first place is expensive, it must be reasonable. The price of seventeen petals is unprecedented and it is definitely a crucial information for "Tian Nu Ba".
If it were before, Yuejian and Iris would definitely go all out, but now...
After facing the horror of "Tian Nu Ba", they all began to hesitate and waver.
Even if they get the information, are they really qualified to seize the power of this being
Even though he tried his best, he could only fight for a short period of time. This was because the "Tian Nu Ba" at that time did not have much tendency to attack. It was just the residual power brought by the scattered force, which was already so terrifying. It was hard to imagine what the scene would be like if he attacked with all his strength.
Luo Ling sighed and raised his hand.
"I pay."
The first one really was... he had her taken advantage of and just wanted to empty her family's wealth.
However, the information about "Tiannu Ba" is indeed very important to Luo Ling.
Apart from anything else, her White Witch clone is now staying with Elsa, preparing to find the fairies and follow the clues to track down the exiled "Tiannu Ba".
At this moment, this information may be the key to victory or defeat, and may even save Elsa's life in times of crisis.
The loss of the White Witch's clone is just a loss of some power, but Elsa cannot be in any danger.
“I quit.”
Unexpectedly, Yue Jian sighed and spoke softly.
As if she noticed the surprised looks from everyone, Yue Jian smiled bitterly and continued,
"The shadow He left on me... is quite serious. I'm afraid I won't be able to get rid of it anytime soon."
The aftermath of the power alone made her so desperate that she was completely helpless and even fell into a revolving lantern. If Luo Ling hadn't called her mind back, the best outcome would have been to become a living dead with her life or death unknown.
Yue Jian's religious faith can be said to be shattered. How can she have the courage to face "Tian Nu Ba" again? Giving up is the most rational choice.
Seeing Yuejian giving up, Iris opened her mouth and then met Luo Ling (Zizhu)'s gaze.
Luo Ling actually just glanced at him normally, but Iris shook her head repeatedly as if she was frightened.
"I, I don't want it either!"
"What a pity," the first one said, but she didn't look regretful at all, as if she had expected this situation to happen. "I finally managed to sell a large amount of goods, but I didn't make much money. Tsk tsk..."
However, who knows whether it is a big deal or a disaster...
The first one waved his hand, separating Luo Ling from the other members of the tea party, and then said slowly,
"I know what the doubts in your heart are, so answer them first."
"First, 'Tian Nu Ba' has nothing to do with 'Transformation', so... even I don't know what exists between you and 'She'. This is your own business."
"Second, the previous 'Tian Nu Ba' did occupy the fifth place in the taboo sequence, but now it is no longer the case. The reason is very simple, because 'She' has been exiled."
"Third, the place where Tiannuba was exiled is 'Legend'. This is why you can't find her trace no matter what, because 'Legend' is beyond your cognition."
After saying that, the first one hooked his fingers and collected all the remaining petals of Luo Ling in one breath.
Feeling the warmth flowing through her fingertips, the faint smile on her face became even brighter.
The first one, who was extremely rare, did not say any confusing riddles, but directly gave the answer, solving many of the doubts that Luo Ling had accumulated during this period. Perhaps this was the effect that seventeen petals could bring.
Regarding the difference between "present world" and "legend", the first one did not explain in much detail.
If Luo Ling had been in the Great Xia Imperial City for quite some time and hadn't figured out even this little thing, it would be impossible for the First Place to value her so much.
"If that's all, there shouldn't be a need for seventeen petals, right?" Luo Ling pulled the corner of her mouth, looking at the smile on the first person's face, she inexplicably felt a little chill.
Why do I feel like a nympho...
"It's just a gift, Zizhu. It's not easy to entertain a big customer like you, so I have to serve you well. If you leave, where can I find such business?" The first person blinked, laughed a few times, and continued, "Besides, I have always made a loss in business with you."
“… … .”
Luo Ling was silent for a while and didn't want to respond to this nymphomaniac.
The first one had no idea that he was asking for trouble. He just smiled and quickly took out something that Luo Ling was interested in.
"What I can provide you is a method that will work wonders at the critical moment."
After saying that, the first one flashed in front of Luo Ling in an instant.
When Luo Ling was subconsciously on guard, she just raised her finger and gently tapped Luo Ling's forehead.
In an instant, the floral pattern on Luo Ling's forehead lit up, and a beautiful purple bead flower bloomed vividly.
"Shh, don't be so defensive. They are all outside. How could I possibly do anything to you at this time?"
The first one put his finger on Luo Ling's lips, smiled, and spoke softly.
She gradually approached Luo Ling, and the smile in her eyes became even more intense.
How dare you do this knowing there are people out there
Luo Ling curled the corner of her mouth. She had not forgotten what the first one did to her when he flashed in front of her last time.
Even though she was the one who overturned the table first.
but...
"You pulled this together yourself."
Under the close gaze of the first person, Zizhu instantly transformed into Luo Ling, and then took on the posture of a "savior witch".
The long, fluttering black hair enveloped the two of them like an embrace. The wings that were bound at the waist were suddenly freed, covering the entire body. Secret patterns containing infinite power lit up slightly, and mysterious whispers were chanted softly in the ears, as if sadly celebrating the birth of a certain existence.
For a moment, the first person was stunned for some reason, and a look of slight surprise appeared on his face.
"Reverse the path!"
Luo Ling once again tried to uncover the mystery of the first place. Since the "omniscience" of the "chaos" path could not be achieved, what about the "transformation" path
But... it still failed, and it failed more completely than last time.
The power to reverse the path is completely ineffective in the first place.
In other words, the path she follows cannot be reversed by the "Savior Witch".
“Interesting.”
The first one quickly recovered, put away some memories deep in his eyes, and chuckled, as if he was not offended by Luo Ling's offensive behavior.
"Do you really want to see the real me?" The first one tilted his head and looked at Luo Ling. "It's not impossible. I don't care about these things. It's just... not now."
"... I can probably guess why." Luo Ling's expression remained calm. Her behavior was another kind of test.
Whether she succeeds or fails, she already knows the result she wants.
A path that cannot be reversed is absolutely impossible in this world, because in the world laws born from the struggle between "transformation" and "doomsday", every path has two sides.
Unless... it's not from this world.
Obviously, the first one is like this.
She... perhaps, should be called "Him", or even the real "Him", not a "false god" like the Sequence God, but the true God at the end of the path.
The reason why it cannot be reversed is very simple. He is the master of this path, so how can he reverse and walk onto another completely different path
Of course, this is just a guess. Only the first person can know how true or false it is.
"Shh, it's good for you to know it. Don't tell anyone. This is just a request." The first one put his finger on his lips and used a begging tone for the first time.
"... One of three chances?" Luo Ling blinked.
