The young Dragon Lady's voice was as thin as a mosquito's buzz, mixed with a hint of elusive grievance.
Hearing this, Daziel felt an unspeakable sense of foreboding rise within him. He abruptly turned his head towards the adult Dragon Lady, his eyes sharp, and demanded, "What utter nonsense did you fill her head with?! Are words like that something you can just casually spout?!"
The Heliobus possessing the Dragon Lady's body blinked her innocent eyes as if wronged, yet a mischievous, cunning smile quietly bloomed on her lips. Her tone was lighthearted.
"What's wrong?! I'm a Heliobus that naturally feeds on desires and emotions, right? What's wrong with pursuing what I like?"
"Don't feed me that crooked logic and twisted heresy!"
Daziel's patience had run out, his voice growing increasingly impatient, his brows deeply furrowed, undisguised disgust showing clearly. He sternly said, "Immediately, right now, get out of the Dragon Lady's body! Her mind is still so naive, how could you say such things to her?!"
The mature Dragon Lady heard this, and a series of bell-like giggles escaped from deep within her throat. "Several hundred years old and still so naive, huh? Heh heh, she should have experienced the taste of worldly passion long ago!"
She paused, then her tone suddenly became drawn-out and ambiguous. She continued, "You want me to leave her body... it's not entirely impossible, as long as you..."
Daziel felt his temples throb. His tone was already extremely displeased, and he retorted with suppressed anger, "As long as I do what?!"
He already vaguely guessed what the other party wanted to say, and a premonition of something extremely bad rose in his heart.
The mature Dragon Lady leaned in slightly, her breath like orchids, a warm puff sweeping past Daziel's ear. "As long as you do it with me, properly, just once! I'll immediately leave this body, using her very body..."
The air seemed to solidify instantly, and time itself came to a halt.
Daziel's mouth twitched uncontrollably, his face slightly contorted by shock and fury.
He stared disbelievingly at the youthful yet enchanting face before him. "You... do you know what kind of deranged nonsense you're spouting?! Shut up right now!" This was absolutely something not to be touched!
The ancient beast 'Censorship' wasn't just for show.
Sushang gasped and quickly ran to Daziel's side, anxiously grabbing his sleeve and trying to dissuade him in rapid-fire words, "Daziel! You absolutely cannot agree to her! How can you do something like that... that kind of thing... to the Dragon Lady..."
Guinaifen also nodded repeatedly, eagerly echoing her.
"Exactly, exactly! Something like this absolutely cannot happen! Absolutely not!"
Daziel took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and soothed the two worried girls beside him. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
This matter had already touched the baseline of absolute justice he held deep within his heart. No matter what, he would never compromise on this.
He looked at the adult Dragon Lady with icy eyes, contemplating a countermeasure.
The mature Dragon Lady seemed completely unconcerned by their objections and accusations. Instead, she laughed even more unrestrainedly, her laughter sharp and piercing, filled with twisted pleasure.
"I know what you're afraid of deep down. How about this, let's both take a step back. You just remove the longevity lock chained to her tail, wouldn't that be fine? That way, wouldn't she be considered an adult?"
"At that time, I will completely control her mind. The one having fun with you will be me, not her personally. That way, wouldn't everything you're worried about cease to exist?" Her tone was so casual it was almost nonchalant, as if she were discussing a trivial matter. Her understated demeanor highlighted the absurdity and distortion within her.
Daziel's brows were tightly furrowed, his gaze piercing as he stared at the adult Dragon Lady. He retorted, "How can this lock be removed so easily? Besides, once removed, if not handled properly, do you truly understand what severe consequences it could cause?"
The mature Dragon Lady's tone was confident, as if everything was under her control.
"It's alright, with me controlling her body, you can be completely at ease. There will absolutely be no risk of losing control."
She continued casually,
"After the deed is done, you can just put the longevity lock back on her, wouldn't that be simple?"
Her tone was so light and dismissive, as if this were truly a trivial matter.
Huohuo, who had been huddled in the corner, trying her best to minimize her presence, trembled again upon hearing this. She cautiously raised her head to look at Daziel.
"Daziel... Are... are you really going to... to do that? D-don't worry, no matter what decision you ultimately make, I... I will absolutely not... not report..."
Her voice was clearly trembling. She was obviously terrified by the preposterous situation before her. As a Judge of the Ten-Lord Commission, she naturally knew that such a thing was against regulations. But deep down, she was torn because of Daziel's previous act of stepping forward to save her and Tail.
Daziel helplessly raised his hand to rub his forehead, his tone filled with deep helplessness.
"Huohuo, don't worry. If there were truly a risk of losing control, then I wouldn't possibly agree to her."
It seemed that little Huohuo had some deep-seated misunderstandings about him...
Hearing Daziel's words, the mature Dragon Lady tilted her head and retorted,
"If you're unwilling to agree to my suggestion, then you can certainly try to forcibly expel me from her, hehe."
"How about we make a bet? Let's see if your Dragon Lady gets damaged first by your reckless actions, or if you can drive me out of her body before I completely destroy it..."
Her tone held undisguised confidence, and a cunning and dangerous light flickered in the depths of her eyes, as if she was certain Daziel would not dare to act rashly.
Daziel's eyes were filled with contempt, and his tone carried a hint of undisguised mockery.
"I say... do you really have to keep thinking about this petty matter? You went through so much trouble, at any cost, to possess the Dragon Lady's body. Was it really just to satisfy this vulgar desire?"
The mature Dragon Lady, however, was completely unconcerned by Daziel's mockery and contempt. Instead, she laughed even more heartily.
"I am a Heliobus that feeds on desire, after all, so what's so strange about that? But, on a deeper level, the real reason is because I want to give her a chance to truly grow up, even if it's just once..."
"Oh please, stop pretending and trying to twist the truth!"
Daziel mercilessly exposed her hypocrisy, his tone filled with disdain and disgust.
"If you truly had complete control over her consciousness, leaving her completely unaware of everything external, then this so-called growing up would just be you entertaining yourself. The one truly gaining emotion and satisfaction from it wouldn't be anyone but yourself, would it?!"
The mature Dragon Lady was ruthlessly exposed regarding her true thoughts deep down, but she wasn't angry at all.
She just chuckled, and a hint of anticipation instead appeared in her eyes. She pressed on,
"Heh heh, just tell me whether you're going to do it or not? Give me a straight answer!"
Daziel took a deep breath, making one final confirmation, and asked in a low voice,
"Does it have to be the Dragon Lady? Can't it be someone else?"
The mature Dragon Lady's tone was decisive and unquestionable.
"It has to be the Dragon Lady! There is absolutely no possibility of anyone else!"
Sushang looked at the adult Dragon Lady with a strange expression and finally couldn't help but complain,
"It's not that I'm complaining, although Huohuo explained before that you Heliobus act based on your instincts, but this one right here... isn't this just a bit too free-spirited?" She truly couldn't understand the way these Heliobus creatures thought. This Heliobus's thought process was completely beyond her comprehension, to the point where she temporarily overcame her fear of ghosts and evil spirits deep down.
After all, the terrifying ghastly figures depicted in horror shows wouldn't have their minds solely focused on this kind of thing.
Huohuo also hurriedly waved her hands, repeatedly denying it, explaining incoherently,
"I... I haven't been a Judge for long, my qualifications are shallow, and I... I've never seen such... such an abstract Heliobus either..."
She was clearly seeing a Heliobus that broke her understanding's lower limit for the first time. Her inner shock and confusion were no less than Sushang's.
Tail, who had been silent, suddenly poked its head out from Huohuo's long fox tail. It squinted its eyes, looking at the adult Dragon Lady with a gaze full of disdain and loathing.
"Illusion Dream has always been like this, her brain went bad long ago. It's all dirty and vile thoughts, and her actions are always inexplicable."
"It's only because in this period, worldly desires and emotions have become rampant, so dense they're almost overflowing, that she's acting so arrogant and unrestrained. Back then, if this thing dared to appear before me, I'd beat it every time I saw it!"
The mature Dragon Lady's expression changed slightly upon hearing Tail's evaluation. The smile that had been on her face also stiffened for a moment, but soon, she resumed her charming smile.
"We're old acquaintances, Tail, you should persuade them to agree to my proposal. It's good for everyone, otherwise... you should know my temper very well."
She clearly didn't want Tail to ruin her good fortune. Her tone seemed gentle but secretly contained a warning.
Daziel clearly wouldn't let their one-sided words influence his judgment. He was more willing to respect the thoughts of the person involved.
At this moment, the Dragon Lady herself was stunned, listening blankly to the conversation between the few of them, not offering an opinion for a long time.
Daziel looked at the Dragon Lady and asked gently, "So, Dragon Lady, what are your thoughts?"
Deep down in Daziel's heart, he clearly didn't want the Dragon Lady to agree.
The naive Dragon Lady blinked her eyes, seeming to think seriously. After a moment, she said softly,
"I think... the big sister isn't a bad person..."
She hesitated for a moment, then added, "How about... Dylan brother, you agree to her? I also want to see... if I really will grow taller without this longevity lock."
Daziel sighed, his heart a mix of emotions.
After pondering for a moment, Daziel finally spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness. "Alright, it seems it's not completely out of the question, but it can't be here. We need to go somewhere else."
At this moment, Daziel had a new idea he wanted to try...
"Oh?"
The mature Dragon Lady's lips curved up, her eyes sparkling with excitement, her charming smile adding a touch of seduction. "Where are you taking me, Dylan brother?"
Daziel's gaze was calm as he looked directly at her. "Back to the Astral Express with me."
The mature Dragon Lady raised an eyebrow with interest. "The Astral Express? That's quite novel. How do you plan to bring me?"
She pointed to the naive Dragon Lady beside her, a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
Daziel nodded, confirming her guess. "That's right, since you're in the Dragon Lady, can you make her transform into your current appearance?"
After all, the Dragon Lady herself was too conspicuous. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be better to act in the form of the adult Dragon Lady.
The mature Dragon Lady chuckled softly, her tone light. "Of course."
She paused, then her tone shifted, becoming meaningful. "However, if you were to do that... it would give us away. Transformation is just transformation. We would still have to remove that lock."
Daziel's eyes flickered slightly, his tone calm and firm. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Huohuo's face immediately crumpled when she heard they were going to the Astral Express. She nervously tugged at Daziel's sleeve, her voice trembling slightly.
"Daziel, what if something goes wrong and the Dragon Masters come looking? The matter of the current Dragon Sovereign is very important."
Daziel soothingly patted her head, his tone steady. "I will handle this matter properly, don't worry."
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He continued, "If those Dragon Masters truly come knocking, I won't fear them either."
Sushang, listening to their conversation from the side, could only let Daziel have his way. "Go ahead, go ahead. Us sisters will wait for you here..."
Huohuo was stunned for a moment, pointing to herself and asking confusedly, "Huh? Us sisters... including me?"
She felt a bit flattered, yet also a bit lost.
Guinaifen enthusiastically put her arm around Huohuo's shoulder and winked with a laugh. "Of course. Since we've met, aren't we good sisters?"
Huohuo's little face turned slightly red, her gaze flitting about. She secretly glanced at Daziel, her tone carrying a hint of shyness.
"Huh? I see that your relationship with Daziel... seems unusual. If I become sisters with you two, will I also have to with Daziel..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Guinaifen and Sushang exchanged glances, sharing a knowing smile, and answered in unison, "It's not impossible, little sister."
"You two, just be normal...!"
Daziel felt somewhat speechless towards these two women. "Stop causing trouble."
They were still dealing with the main issue here, and they were already casually joking around over there, which was truly a bit absurd.
Guinaifen stuck out her tongue and giggled, pushing Daziel. "Got it! Alright, go quickly! My dear patron."
Sushang also joined in, waving and urging him. "Yeah, yeah, go quickly and come back soon!"
Daziel shook his head helplessly, knowing there was no reasoning with them.
He simply stopped paying attention and turned to look at the mature Dragon Lady. "Let's go."
The mature Dragon Lady chuckled, her figure flickering, turning into a beam of light that merged into the young Dragon Lady's body.
In an instant, the young Dragon Lady's body seemed to be infused with new vitality. Her originally childish aura instantly became mature and charming, and her figure grew taller, transforming into the appearance of the adult Dragon Lady.
She tilted her head and gave Daziel a charming wink, her voice sweet and coquettish. "Shall we go?"
Daziel took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable restlessness in his heart, and nodded. "Mm."
He turned and walked towards the direction of the Stargazer Navalia. The adult Dragon Lady followed close behind him, one in front, one behind, their figures gradually disappearing into the night.
Astral Express.
Daziel pushed open the door to his room. The hinges turned silently, and the familiar room layout came into view.
The Herta puppet sat at the desk, her fingertips lightly tapping a thick book. The pages turned themselves without wind.
March 7th and Sparkle were nowhere to be seen; he didn't know where they had run off to.
"Miss Herta, you're here. Come and help me..."
Daziel called out, pulling the Dragon Lady by the hand and walking further into the room.
Herta looked up upon hearing the sound, her gaze behind her glasses falling upon the young figure beside Daziel. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and a rare trace of astonishment flickered across her delicate face.
"No way? You brought back one so small...? This won't do!"
Daziel stopped abruptly, nearly choking on his saliva. A few drops of cold sweat instantly beaded on his forehead. He quickly waved his hand and explained, "It's not what you think, listen to me." He took a deep breath, trying to calm his slightly disordered breathing, and thoroughly explained the entire situation to Herta, from the restrictions of the longevity lock to the Heliobus's conditions.
Herta listened, her gaze behind her glasses flickering. Her fingers lightly tapped the desktop, creating a rhythmic sound.
"So, can you take a look and see if this lock can be removed, and if there will be any problems if it is?"
Daziel's tone was urgent, carrying a hint of pleading.
Herta drew out her words meaningfully, her slender fingers lightly rubbing her chin, murmuring thoughtfully.
"With the Heliobus controlling the Dragon Lady's consciousness, even if the restriction is removed, the Dragon Lady's consciousness won't go out of control and become a mindless dragon... Theoretically, this seems feasible."
Her tone shifted, carrying a subtle hesitation, and her gaze returned to the young Dragon Lady, seeking confirmation.
"It's just... Dragon Lady, I need to confirm again. Are you sure, are you really willing to do this?"
Upon hearing this, the young Dragon Lady slowly raised her head, her eyes full of excitement.
"Of course I am! Big sister told me so many fun things today and chatted with me. I already see her as a friend!"
Her small face was slightly flushed, her tone carrying a hint of longing.
Besides, I really want to know what it feels like to grow up...
Herta's lips curved slightly. She looked at the Dragon Lady before her with interest and chuckled.
"Okay, since you say so, then I will remove the shackles."
Her tone was light, as if she were discussing a trivial matter.
Daziel's heart pounded slightly, his gaze fixed on Herta, carrying a hint of almost imperceptible nervousness.
The air in the room seemed to freeze, and time also became exceptionally slow. All sounds around them disappeared, leaving only the subtle sound made by Herta's slender fingertips as they touched the longevity lock, slowly echoing in the silent space.
The Herta puppet's finger joints were long and nimble. Energy fluctuations, almost invisible to the naked eye, condensed at her fingertips and slowly covered the longevity lock.
In an instant, an unusual phenomenon occurred.
On the surface of the lock, the ancient patterns seemed to come alive, slowly flowing and emitting a faint white light, interweaving with the purple light from Herta's fingertips. An invisible wave of power spread outwards from the longevity lock as its center. The air in the room seemed to tremble slightly.
Daziel held his breath, staring at the longevity lock without blinking, afraid of missing any detail. His heart was filled with anticipation, yet also a hint of uneasiness.
The young Dragon Lady also widened her eyes curiously, watching the changes on her tail, her small face filled with excitement and anticipation. Her small body trembled slightly. Time passed second by second. The room was silent, with only the sound of the energy fluctuations slowly flowing and the faint breathing sounds of everyone mingling together. Suddenly, the light from the longevity lock intensified dramatically, as if power that had been accumulating for a long time had finally found an outlet and erupted.
Blinding light instantly filled the entire room, making it impossible to look directly. Daziel subconsciously raised his arm to shield his eyes, but he could still feel the intensity of the light.
Immediately after, a crisp sound, like shattering jade, rang out in the room. The light from the longevity lock instantly disappeared, as if it had never been there.
Daziel slowly lowered his arm and looked back at the Dragon Lady's tail. The longevity lock that had been tightly bound to the tail was gone, leaving only smooth scales that shimmered with a faint luster under the starlight.
The young Dragon Lady lowered her head, looking at her empty tail, and was stunned for a moment. Then, she raised her head, her clear eyes filled with surprise, and exclaimed softly, "The... the lock is gone!"
She excitedly spun around in place, her tail happily wagging behind her.
The adult Dragon Lady's voice rang out from within the young body, carrying a hint of laziness and excitement. "Hehe, the feeling of freedom is really nice."
As the adult Dragon Lady's voice sounded, the young Dragon Lady's body changed again. Her originally childish body began to grow taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her originally childish face also became youthful and charming.
In the blink of an eye, standing before Daziel was no longer the naive Dragon Lady, but a graceful young woman with a well-defined figure.
The adult Dragon Lady stretched languidly, like a lazy cat, feeling the body she had just taken control of.
"This is... the feeling of growing up. Did you experience it, Dragon Lady?"
Her lips curved slightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement, as if she were asking and answering herself.
Daziel looked at the completely new Dragon Lady before him, a mix of emotions in his heart. There was the relief of a burden lifted, yet also a hint of unspeakable complex feelings.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and spoke in a calm tone. "Next, there are more important things to do."
His gaze turned to Herta, a hint of gratitude in his eyes. "Herta, thank you for this time."
Herta waved her hand, her tone casual. "No need to thank me. Just keep the noise down later, don't disturb my reading."
With that, she sat back down in her chair and picked up her book again.
The Dragon Lady turned her head, looked at Daziel, and smiled charmingly, her tone carrying a hint of provocation. "How is it? Next, is it time to fulfill your promise? Is it on the big bed over there?"
"The promise must be fulfilled, but not here..."
Daziel's lips curved into a meaningful arc. He took the Dragon Lady's hand and walked deeper into the room. "Come with me."
"Alright, hurry up, I can't wait."
The adult Dragon Lady chuckled, her eyes sparkling with excitement, following closely behind Daziel, her steps light and full of anticipation.
Daziel didn't respond. He simply quickened his pace, heading straight for the corner, where there was a cage built of cold iron bars – the confinement room.
"The surprise will be revealed in a moment."
He stopped and turned around, giving the Dragon Lady a mysterious smile.
"Surprise? What surprise?"
The adult Dragon Lady tilted her head curiously, a hint of confusion on her charming face.
Daziel didn't continue to keep the Dragon Lady in suspense. A cold smile played on his lips, and he directly raised his hand and opened the heavy iron door of the confinement room.
Creak—
The heavy iron door slowly opened.
The room was dim, with only a faint light coming from a dim yellow wall lamp in the corner. The air was filled with a faint, rank smell, giving off an aura of twisted desire.
The Dragon Lady was shocked to see a graceful figure tightly bound to the ground by thick chains in the center of the room. Heavy shackles locked her hands and feet, leaving her unable to move.
She wore a simple Xianzhou-style black and white short skirt. Her messy silver hair covered most of her face, only vaguely revealing delicate features.
She wore a black blindfold and had a gag in her mouth, completely deprived of speech.
The adult Dragon Lady let out a low cry of surprise.
"Oh, you actually had someone hidden in the room."
An expression of interest appeared on her charming face as she curiously examined the imprisoned figure.
Daziel ignored the Dragon Lady's question and walked directly to the bound person. He squatted down and gently removed the blindfold from her eyes.
The sudden light made the person slightly frown, and she slowly opened her eyes.
What kind of eyes they were! Cold, arrogant, yet with a hint of undeniable weariness and vulnerability.
When she saw the woman beside Daziel, her pupils suddenly constricted, and her originally calm face instantly filled with shock and disbelief.
"Jingliu, look who's here..."
Daziel's lips curved slightly upwards, revealing a smile with a hint of triumph, as he said softly.
Jingliu's body trembled violently, her eyes filled with shock, anger, and a hint of deep despair.
She subconsciously thought the woman before her was Baiheng.
"......"
Jingliu made muffled whimpering sounds, struggling desperately. The chains made a harsh metallic scraping sound, but she couldn't break free from the restraints.
The adult Dragon Lady watched Jingliu's reaction with interest, a playful smile on her lips.
"Who is she? Why does she seem so excited to see me?"
Daziel didn't answer. He just turned his head and pursed his lips.
"Don't ask. Just do what you're supposed to do."
Before he finished speaking, Daziel suddenly leaned down and kissed the adult Dragon Lady.
The adult Dragon Lady was stunned for a moment, then giggled, passionately responding to Daziel. Her charming eyes provocatively looked at Jingliu.
Although she didn't know Daziel's intention for doing this, it seemed quite interesting to her.
Jingliu's body trembled even more violently, her eyes instantly turning red, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
She wanted to get up and stop them, wanting to question Daziel why he was doing this, but the heavy shackles cruelly bound her, leaving her only able to struggle powerlessly, making despairing whimpers.
The shackles struck the cold metal wall, making clanging sounds that were particularly harsh in the room.
Jingliu's Corruption Value began to rise rapidly. Her originally clear eyes were gradually tainted by a trace of murky gray.
Daziel felt the rapidly increasing Corruption Value on Jingliu and his lips curved slightly upwards, his smile becoming more unrestrained.
Jingliu let out a despairing roar, but it was tightly muffled by the gag, leaving only painful whimpers.
Her body twisted violently, wanting to get up, but it was all in vain.
The adult Dragon Lady giggled, playing her part alongside Daziel.
Jingliu watched the absurd scene before her. Anger, humiliation, confusion, regret, various complex emotions surged into her heart like a tide, almost drowning her.
...
"Ah!"
[Target character Jingliu's Corruption Value increased by 3%]
Seeing Jingliu's Corruption Value rise, Daziel showed a knowing smile.
Ten days to half a month of effort wouldn't even increase it by 3%!
It was truly exciting!
Clearly, Jingliu's heart was being devoured little by little, heading towards the abyss of corruption.
In the room, only stifling gasps, the slapping sounds of collision, and the clanging of shackles echoed in the confinement room, lingering for a long time.
In Jingliu's eyes, tears had long dried up, leaving only emptiness and despair.
She looked at everything before her, her mind blank, as if her soul had been pulled from her body, leaving only an empty shell, sinking into darkness.
She remembered the oath of the Cloudborne Quintet, remembered her past ideals, remembered her past comrades, but everything was like a moon in the water, shattered and scattered, leaving only endless pain and regret.
"Ah!"
[Target character Jingliu's Corruption Value increased by 2%]
[Target character Jingliu's current Corruption Value: 27%]
[Triggered keyword: Heart Demon]
[Please keep up the good work, Master. You are truly a master at this, you are amazing!]
The Corruption Value finally stopped increasing. Jingliu's eyes completely lost their luster, becoming hollow and numb, like a walking corpse, no longer showing a trace of hope.
Daziel stopped moving and straightened up, looking at Jingliu's current state with satisfaction, a cold smile on his lips.
He turned his head to look at the adult Dragon Lady, a hint of appreciation in his eyes. "Well done."
The adult Dragon Lady giggled, her charming face full of triumph. "Of course, I'm a professional."
Daziel didn't say anything more. He just turned and walked out of the confinement room, leaving Jingliu alone to sink into darkness and despair.
The heavy door of the confinement room slowly closed, shutting out the light from the outside. Only Jingliu's faint breathing echoed in the empty room, like the sigh of a ghost.
Jingliu had become even more corrupted. The once proud former Sword Champion was no more.
In her place was a soul devoured by darkness, a tool used by Daziel.
