Corrupt Creations-Chapter 375
Chapter 375: What She Wanted
Suddenly, Lan Xue opened her eyes, just to find herself lying comfortably in a warm and cozy bed.
Slowly, fragments of what happened a few hours ago, started flooding the insides of her mind and she abruptly tried to sit up, but found herself unable to.
“Good morning.”
Lan Xue swiftly turned her head, just to see Seth’s figure lying down on the same bed as her. Her mind was finally able to capture the warmth of his skin touching hers, since he was hugging her from behind.
In that passionate and cozy position, they had spent the whole night sleeping, after their battle had ended, enjoying a peaceful night before the storm.
The Twelfth Palace Master panicked and tried to get away from his embrace, but Seth’s words were able to calm her down, creating an opportunity for him to spend some more time with her in that position.
“Calm down, everything had already happened, you don’t need to act like that now. Also, there are a few things that we need to discuss.”
.....
As he spoke, Seth made sure to keep his arms tightly embracing her body, since he was in love with the temperature underneath the blankets.
“You’re right, we have a few things to talk about, but there is no point for us to stay like this.”
“Ahaha... I feel much more like talking in this way. Come on... After what we’ve done, this is considered as nothing, don’t you think?”
Lan Xue heard his words and her white as snow face, got partially tinged in red. However, she somehow let go of her concerns and stood there, in that way. It would be a lie, if she said that she wasn’t enjoying the temperature underneath the blankets, but as a renowned Palace Master, she thought that her actions were utterly shameful.
But that was the price she had to pay. Now, it was time to ask for what she wanted.
“Seth, I...”
“Sigh... I can already imagine how things ended up like this and there is no need for you to ask for anything else. However, you should know that there is no turning back after it ends.”
Seth could feel that what happened last night, was most probably Arwen’s doing and he couldn’t help but inwardly exclaim: ‘What a good Queen!’
Arwen had taken advantage of the situation and Lan Xue’s state of mind, to break the eternal layer of ice around her, creating a miracle never ever seen before. The disciples from the Glazed Lake Sect were proudful daughters of heaven and most of them were hardly approachable, yet Arwen had gotten him a Palace Master.
Lan Xue stood silent for a few seconds, but she then replied: “She told me the price was my body and soul, and I’m ready to pay it, if it means I will get slightly stronger.”
Her mind was still locked in the idea of revenge and Seth was able to perceive it through her words. She knew that a fight against the Sanctuary Master, would demand her everything and if she really wanted to win against him, she would have to let go of her uncertainties.
“Very well. Close your eyes.” After hearing her firm words, he didn’t waste any more time and instructed her to close her eyes.
Lan Xue followed his instructions and just as her vision went dark, she felt her existence being pulled out of her own body and just as if she had suddenly teleported, she found herself standing before a beautiful blue lake.
For someone that had absolutely no knowledge about souls, what Seth had done, was something magical. But due to her chilling demeanor, she didn’t feel shocked by what was happening. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m
“This is the inside of my soul space and as you can see, there is nothing more than this blue lake and a blue mist.” Seth’s consciousness’ “body” was already inside the lake, where he waited for Lan Xue.
“I am nothing but a beginner, when talking about matters regarding the soul. Do you really wish to tie your destiny, to someone that may not know everything, but a small part of it?”
Lan Xue slowly started to walk forward, until her pristine white small toes touched the lake “water”.
“Stop with your false modesty. I always get surprised with anything coming from you and I doubt this would be different.”
Without waiting for a reply, Lan Xue entered the lake and moved towards Seth.
Seth smiled at her and started the ceremony. Nothing he said could seem to convince her against her decision, so he decided to proceed and tie her soul to his.
Very quickly, the Hades Manual was activated and Lan Xue experienced the mystery of the soul link.
At first, she thought it would only make her feel Seth’s presence, if he were near her. But when she suddenly received information about the soul cultivation, right inside her mind, she started to understand how mysterious it was.
Seth decided to impart his most profound knowledge with her, even though he still didn’t love her as a woman. Whoever the person he accepted to make a Soul Link with, had to be someone special for him, someone he loved dearly, like Rina, Meiyi, Caizhi and Arwen. But because of his understanding of Lan Xue and the time he spent with her in the abyss, he allowed himself to fall for her as well, though even for him, it would require some time. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
He liked the fact she was different from the other and looked like a frozen flower, unapproachable by its nature.
After instructing her on how to form her own soul space, Lan Xue’s consciousness returned to the world, where she began doing that process, in order to for it.
In her chilling excitement, she even forgot to wear something, letting Seth’s eyes feast upon her naked figure. She was lucky that he had a few things to do and was able to control his lustful thoughts; a unique event, that Lexi found hard to believe.
