Death... and me

Liana came back to herself right after, redder than she had ever been. “Yo-you! What have you done?!”

Rean looked back at her with a puzzled expression. “Isn’t that obvious? I changed your appearance. Oh, right! You’re concerned that your appearance has changed forever. Don’t worry. The effect only lasts a few hours. Your body will come back to exactly what it was.”

Following that, Rean and Roan did exactly the same thing, and Liana saw how their appearances changed completely. Just like Liana, it wasn’t just their faces. Their height was also affected.

Rean then looked back at Liana and said, “See? It’s that simple. Here, take this as well.” Rean then threw a bottle with an alchemical dye to her. “Because of my ability, your hair has changed to a white color. If you don’t like that color, you can dye it with another color. Don’t worry. The dye is also temporary.”

Liana felt like crying after that. “That’s not what I’m talking about!”

Rean obviously knew exactly what she was talking about, but he still pretended not to understand anything. “It’s not that? Did you not like the new appearance I gave you? Alright, let me change it once more.” Rean extended his hand, trying to touch Liana’s shoulder once more.

However, Liana immediately jumped back as if Rean was infected by some plague. She didn’t want him to touch her at all. “Don’t touch me! This appearance is fine. There’s no need to change anymore.”

Rean nodded. “Sure… if you say so. Then go ahead. What’s the problem? If you don’t tell me, I can’t possibly help you.” Rean was having the time of his life, teasing Liana. It had been a long time since he had been like this. Of course, none of that appeared on his face.

“I…” Seeing that Rean was ‘oblivious’ to her predicament, Liana couldn’t bring herself to tell him that he just made her orgasm right there and then. In fact, even she wasn’t very familiar with that feeling since it was a first for her. In the Tenke Kingdom, women valued their virginity a lot. It was very normal for a woman like Liana, even after her thirties, to not have such an experience before. “It’s nothing. I was just caught by surprise by your actions… that’s all.”

Roan didn’t seem to have the patience to keep listening to those two. Although he knew what was happening, he decided to end it there. “Alright, enough bullshit.” He then took two sets of clothes and passed one to Rean, telling him, “Change your clothes since we can still be identified by our original ones.”

He also told Liana, “I have clothes for women as well. If you don’t have a spare one, I can give you a set. Your Tenke Kingdom clothes are very easy to recognize, after all.”

Liana was taken aback. “Why would you have women’s clothes with you?”

Rean sighed in response, saying, “Roan and I were already in a relationship before we got teleported here. The clothes are from our girls.”

“This…” Liana felt like she stepped on a landmine and immediately changed the topic. “Oh, right! Since the people are gathering there, there are most likely people from my Tenke Kingdom. We could get their help as they definitely aren’t afraid of people of the Blood Path Sect. In fact, we should find many people from our Sacred Land as well.”

Rean shrugged his shoulders while shaking his head, obviously finding that a terrible idea.

Roan also snorted in response. “Hmph! You truly are a naive girl. It seems like you have been kept in a bubble all this time because of this Pure Yin Body of yours.

Liana was obviously surprised to hear that. “Why would you say that?”

Roan then explained, “Most of the people who came with us are Evil Path cultivators. They definitely wouldn’t risk their lives to help us, even if we’re from the same Sacred Land. Let’s not even consider that many of them have connections with the Blood Path Sect. Are you sure you want to bring the women and few men of your Tenke Kingdom into this mess? You might even have a whole bunch of Evil Path cultivators attack your Tenke Kingdom’s people at once. Are you fine with being the one responsible for their possible death?”

“I…” Liana didn’t know what to say. Indeed, after everyone saw her enter the danger zone with Roan and Kentucky, she obviously became a target as well. Her country people would definitely help protect her, but Roan was right that they would most likely die because of that. “I’ll think things more thoroughly in the future.”

Roan nodded, satisfied. “I said it before. You sure have potential, not only talent. The fact you can recognize that you were wrong and accept it this quickly shows that you are at least better than most of those proud idiots.”

Liana felt somewhat embarrassed as she remembered Rean’s words. ‘That’s Roan’s way of being gentle… Indeed, there really is a considerate person behind that frozen face.’

Roan didn’t know what Liana was thinking, nor did he care. “Alright, let’s go.”

Rean immediately deactivated his Light and Divine Sense bending skill, revealing their presence. Liana was not taller. She kept her white hair and white eyes. Rean and Roan also changed appearances and even recolored their hair into some other colors. They were totally different people from what others knew back in the entrance of the Demising Catacombs.

It didn’t take long for their group to arrive at the place where everyone was gathering. Each group was keeping its distance from the other, obviously on guard in the off chance someone else attacked. Rean’s group didn’t join any of the others, though. In fact, they could be said to be one of the weakest groups there since all three were Initial Stage Saints.

Roan immediately identified two of the people he had seen on Gille’s side. One was Granto, and the other was the same guy they hid from, Kluo. Last but not least, Hedoi was there as well.
