Bai Lung''s eyes shed dangerously, reflecting the sharpness of the swords above them.
His grip on Alina tightened momentarily before releasing her arm with a dismissive snort.
" I see," he growled,
" But remember this, I am doing you a favor by agreeing to your terms, feel honored, "
His words dripped with condescension as he turned away from her and started walking in the direction she indicated earlier.
[ A/N: He is technically flying since there is nond below him ]
Despite his reluctance, curiosity gnawed at him regarding this Holy Child whomanded such devotion from its followers.
Meanwhile,
Alina silently followed behind him cautiously, trying not to draw attention to herself amidst the tension that hung heavily in the air around them.
Just looking down at her feet makes her body shudder in fear, this guy was truly a monster.
Snap!
As Bai Lung flew away, he snapped his finger and recreated thend back at just the cheap price of 1 point.
[ Ding! The host has used 1 point to restore the bnce of the earth and repair thend ]
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
As they walked deeper into silent and creepy territory, she couldn''t help but wonder if bringing Bai Lung along was truly worth risking everything for... including her own life.

As they arrived at the location and began to ventured further into the dense forest of west woods, Bai Lung''s keen senses picked up on every rustle and snap of twigs beneath their feet.
" So... " he began casually, breaking the silence that had settled between them like a heavy fog.
It felt like two introverts were ced together while they shared no simr interests.
" Tell me more about this Holy Child..." Bai Lung asked her while looking at her with his sharp cold eyes their Peirce her soul.
Alina hesitated for a moment before responding, unsure if it was wise to reveal too much information about their leader.
But seeing no alternative but to obey hismand, she finally spoke up.
" T-The Holy Child is an ancient being who has been reborn countless times throughout history, and.... "
she exined softly.
" And each time they return, they bring with them newfound wisdom and knowledge that surpasses anything known to mankind,"
Bai Lung nodded slowly while he raised his eyebrow, he didn''t receive anything new.
Everything about this guy is he is an ancient being with profound widow and strength.
Well, things are getting boring for Bai Lung.
Bai Lung continued walking deeper into the forest with Alina trailing closely behind him.
" I got it that he possesses profound wisdom and great strength, But! What makes this being so special? "
He asked abruptly, turning his head slightly towards her without breaking stride.
" Is it simply their knowledge or is there something else at y here? " Bai Lung''s cold voice escapes his mouth.
To be honest, the holy child can''t be special because he possesses new wisdom. After all, there are schrs too.
As for strength, there are powerful old men who have reached great heights.
Right now, Bai Lung was only thinking if this so-called reincarnated holy child is the protagonist or not.
Because, at the moment, it feels like he isn''t, the only reason Bai Lung was interested in self proimed god was because he believed the holy child was a protagonist.
But, his thesis is getting debunked the more he learns about the holy child.

Gulp!
Facing his sharp gaze, Alina swallowed hard before answering, sensing that honesty might be her best chance of survival in this tough situation.
Let''s be honest, honestly is the best policy.
" There are whispers among us disciples that..." she confessed quietly, ncing sideways at Bai Lung from the corner of her eye.
" Some believe that the Holy Child possesses powers beyond our understanding, it''s an ability which allows him to manipte reality itself and shape destinies ording to their will, however, I haven''t seen it personally, but I did see him make rain. I have also seen him resurrect a little sister of our sect who died mysteriously, "
" Is that it? " Bai Lung raised his eyebrows.
" umm... He also doesn''t get out of his boundary, I heard, if he gets out of his pce, he falls weak, " she added with a quivering voice.
" Oh! " suddenly Bai Lung''s eyes began to gleam with menacing red light.
This feels like an invincible domain protagonist.
But is he really a protagonist? After all, his disciple had multiple husbands, is he a cuck fetish protagonist? Or some kind of ligma protagonist?
Not judging but, that guy seems like a dumb fuck. But, hey! He do he.
[ Ding! Would you like to use 10,000 points to get his information? ]
Hearing the voice in his head, Bai Lung shook his head. '' Meh! I am going to meet him soon, so, there is no point,''
As they delved deeper into the heart of the west wood forest, Alina couldn''t shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen.
The air grew thicker with each step they took, making it harder to breathe.
Her ears were ringing with sharp tingggg noises.
Bai Lung seemed oblivious to her unease as he continued striding forward confidently.
Very soon, he arrived at the area where he could sense a strange space aura.
" This must be it... " Bai Lung said while he touched the space.
Under his touch space slowly began to melt like stic and flow like water, it seemed there was another hidden space right beneath it.
A hidden space?
No! It seems like there is a string illusion here while the real deal is hidden with an invisible array.
The tall trees in front of him are all fake which is an illusionary space created to hide the hideout of Holy Child.
"Interesting! " Bai Lung said and the next moment, he punched the space.
The space instantly shattered breaking the illusion.
And the real hideout of the holy child was revealed.
" ah? " seeing this, Alina was shocked, she had always thought without the permission of a holy child one couldn''t meet him but, who was this man?
He just shattered the space.
Her uneasiness began to increase.
