Imperial Treasure

Instinctively used her arm to shield her chest.

"I’m going outside to prepare the tea."

The High Priest’s expression was natural as her body turned sideways, about to go up...

But the palm she had just avoided had already powerfully gripped her waist, pressing her against the pool wall in a compelling way.

The sound of water splashed.

Shen Zhiyue’s body leaned against the High Priest’s, her hand slid slowly upward from her waist...

"How many years has it been, and it wasn’t the first time we bathed together, Ah Yi being so distant, are you still upset about my suggestion a few days ago?"

The High Priest was taken aback, "No, it’s already past, it’s just... I’ve grown up now, and you’re esteemed as the First Spirit... this closeness, isn’t right..."

As she spoke, she tried to go up, but suddenly felt Shen Zhiyue’s hand...

The High Priest’s face changed, her will just about to move, but she realized she couldn’t move anything, her body... was so weak.

"Sister..."

The High Priest’s voice was weak, yet she saw Shen Zhiyue’s other hand holding a small bottle between her fingertips, the bottle was already open, and a shallow crimson liquid flowed out from it.

Scattered into the water.

Turning the pool into a luxurious, glamorous red.

Such red, made the High Priest’s body feel numb, and her heart uneasy.

No strength was left to use.

"I said it, Ah Yi... whatever I want... must be given to me... including you..."

"Your soul blood."

Her hand pressed onto Sui Yi’s spine.

"I made this... it won’t harm you, it’ll just leave you weak and powerless, yet it’ll stir your soul... Give me a drop of soul blood, Ah Yi, this great merit someday will be yours... and so, you..."

Shen Zhiyue suddenly stopped speaking because the High Priest had closed her eyes, turned her face aside, and pressed her lips tightly.

For so many years, when she was angry, she would be like this.

Unwilling to say a single word.

Shen Zhiyue’s expression changed, but the most significant impact was...

The High Priest suddenly felt a twitch in her spine, an effect across her entire soul...

A drop of soul blood was taken.

Having obtained it, she should be able to leave now.

For the first time, the High Priest didn’t want to face God’s Jasper; she grabbed the wall to try to climb out.

Just as she was about to climb up, she was pulled back into the water.

Before she could react, a horrifying softness touched her back... from below, the sensation rose, and something enveloped her ear...

The High Priest began to struggle.

But under the water, her weakness increased, until she felt confused and was pressed at the bottom of the pool...

Later, when the High Priest awoke, she found herself lying on a bed, her previous weakness dissipated, the terrifying sensation from earlier invaded her no more.

She had passed out after going underwater.

That person had done something to her she did not know.

However, even with confusion, the High Priest understood the reproduction matters of other species...

Just the Yin Yang of men and women.

Two females, shouldn’t lead to anything happening.

Her body seemed unharmed.

Still, it was inappropriate.

How could she act that way?

The High Priest was lost for a while.

Afterward, she left the Divine Court alone and ventured into the Mortal Realm...

Soon after, the Human Race came to be.

As for the Perfect Human Race created from soul blood, she never saw them again, believing Shen Zhiyue hadn’t succeeded.

Time passed away like that.

She stayed in the Human Realm for so long... unwilling to return, maybe out of anger, eventually it faded, seemingly approving of her avoidance and estrangement.

Later...

She drove a sword into her body....

"Ah Yi, if anyone could truly hurt me, kill me, it would be you."

At first, she didn’t understand, thinking she was joking.

Then she understood.

Even a Primordial Spirit has weaknesses.

The same holds true for the First Spirit.

Suddenly, the door and window flung open, wind swept in, Sui Yi opened her eyes.

It had already been many days later.

In the bright midday sun, as soon as Sui Yi opened her eyes, she saw the person who had disrupted her awakening.

Black stood by the French window, leaning against The Gate, her cold yet powerful face hard to distinguish between male and female.

Sui Yi looked at her for a while, she said nothing.

After a moment.

Sui Yi said, "What is Loulan’s relationship with you?"

Black smiled, "Indeed, even the Grand Priest with Crown could not be deceived..."

If before, even the astute Su Zimu believed Black was just a native Earth dweller, her address to Sui Yi now revealed her complexity.

"You’ve seen my true self, you should know my relationship with him...."

Black smiled.

Sui Yi got up, poured a glass of water, and took a sip.

"Mermaid People."

"He is the first generation life form derived from the primordial, at that time, he was the only Mermaid People, there were none else."

"And Mermaid People have no gender, whenever they breed, they pass on through bone and blood, one to another, not increasing in numbers...."

"Do you assume I’m Loulan?"

"You’re not."

"So certain?"

Sui Yi lowered her eyes, looking at the water in the cup,"He is my student, I naturally recognize him.... as for you.."

She thought for a while, said, "At present, I also could not discern your origins."

It seemed straightforward.

Black gave a bewitching smile; "Should I be honored?"

"Suit yourself."

Sui Yi held little hostility toward Black, even though Loulan now seemed beyond her understanding.

Nine thousand years is such a long time.

What could remain unchanged as before?

And Loulan was like that even within the Main World...

Sui Yi’s heart felt heavy, yet heard Black ask again, "Initially, I wanted to ask Crown my origins, but since Crown can’t answer that, why not respond to a different question instead."

Sui Yi frowned, "I don’t necessarily have to answer."

"You also mentioned Mermaid People are of no gender... but you don’t know, after the great destruction of the Main World, spatial structure altered, even the nature of life forms evolved... from the perspective of balance and development, the existence of rules aims to balance and growth, the destruction resulted in many life forms’ extinction, leading to few remaining numbers, to achieve balance, reproduction has to increase, thus many independent life forms transformed their physical existence... to reproduce directly... Mermaid People are special, but they could choose another way to develop offspring... for example, if he mates with a female life form, he’ll settle into a male form or vice versa female form...

Sui Yi was astounded; this concerned the reproduction processes of later life forms, which she hadn’t partaken in, unaware, now learning from Black’s mouth.

"Are you saying, you are a progeny from Mermaid People’s transformation...."

"No, I simply want to ask you, do you prefer a female form or a male form"

Sui Yi: "....."

Why ask her.
