Chapter 43: The Devil''s Illusion


    The Devil''s Illusion


    After a while, Bai Long came back, and Zhenya had also just finished brewing the tea for them.


    Smiling, Bai Long didn''t say anything and took the tray with the three teacups and walked towards the room.


    cing the tray on the table, Bai Long looked towards Zhenya who was justing out of the kitchen as he quickly pulled a vial out of the Ring of Darkness and poured half of it equally in two of the three cups.


    As for the third cup, Bai Long took it and moved outside the room and sat on the deck close by and watched the nts outside.


    Soon, Zhenya brought her own cup of tea and sat beside Bai Long and shyly rested her head on his shoulders.


    "Is this alright, Bai Long?"


    "Of course it is."


    Not saying anything else, the two of them sat there and slowly sipped the tea, when the sound of someone else entering the room was heard.


    The door to the room was opened as a man in histe 20s entered and picked the third cup of tea, when he noticed that something was different today.


    There was someone else other than just him and his mother!


    Turning with a gaze full of killing intent towards Bai Long, Sun Hai was dumbfounded from seeing who it was.


    "Prince... Bai Long??! What are you doing here?"


    As the general was about to bow, Bai Long waved his hand and said, "There''s no need to stand on ceremony, general."


    Stopping midway the general stood up and began trying to understand what was happening.


    As far as Sun Hai knew, he had never heard too bad rumours regarding this particr prince. But given whom his mother was, there were not many reasons for him to try and fight for the throne.


    This was why Sun Hai couldn''t understand what Bai Long was doing here, and why his mother was sitting so close to him!


    "I was just apanying Zhenya until you returned."


    "Now that you''re back, I''ll be taking my leave. See youter, Zhenya."


    As Bai Long stood up to leave, Zhenya unconsciously held onto his hand and only left it after Bai Long gently patted her hand and told her that he would be back tomorrow.


    "Oh, remember to drink the tea before it gets cold, general."


    With those words, Bai Long left the room and closed the door, but not before he saw Sun Hair drowning the whole cup as if to try and satisfy his parched throat.


    Smiling sinisterly at how this cup of tea would allow him to obtain control of Sun Hai, Bai Long closed the door and left.


    Once Bai Long left the house, Linxin and Cao Ning who were still in their disguises, made their way near him quickly.


    "Did your n work out, son?"


    "Of course it did."


    Looking towards Bai Long with uncertainty, Cao Ning brought up her courage and asked, "May I know what your n was, Master?"


    ring towards Cao Ning, Linxin said, "Learn your ce, ve! How dare you even... "


    "Mother."


    Listening to that one word, Linxin turned silent and didn''t say anything else.


    "Come here, Cao Ning."


    Pulling her into his embrace, Bai Long asked her, "Why do you want to know about my n?"


    Feeling scared that Bai Long was doubting her loyalty, Cao Ning hastily shook her head.


    "It''s not what you are thinking, Master! I just.. I just wanted to know what it was you are doing. I really have no other intentions, Master! Please trust me!"


    Patting the agitated Cao Ning''s head to soothe her, Bai Long said, "Rx Cao Ning, I''m not doubting you."


    Chuckling a little, Bai Long patted her head until shepletely calmed down.


    "Have more trust in yourself, Cao Ning. If I was going to abandon you, I wouldn''t have kept you by my side for this long."


    "Sun Hai has a stronger mindset than the others, therefore just seeing his mother have sex with another man won''t be enough to shake his mind."


    "And though I know what will do the trick, it will be impossible to make Zhenya do that. That''s why, I''m going to create an illusion which will make Sun Hai lose control of his emotions and open him up to let me use my technique on him."


    "I''m going to use the Devil''s Illusion Technique to make Sun Hai lose control."


    "But, since I''m still too weak. Before I show anyone an illusion, I need them to consume a special serum. Only then would I be able to show them an illusion."


    "And that''s what I did right now. I made sure to mix the serum into Sun Hai''s and his mother''s drink."


    "Also, the illusion can''t be too far from reality, or it will break and the truth will be revealed immediately."


    "Andstly, the effect of the serum will onlyst for 1 week. That''s why make sure to be ready at all times for my call."


    Nodding her head, Cao Ning said, "Yes." and continued staying in his embrace since she enjoyed it.


    The reason Bai Long revealed so many details wasn''t because he was feeling good, or any such thing. But to see if Cao Ning would use this information to try and interrupt his n when he starts to deal with her father.
