Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 2003 Interesting

A silence fell over the underground region.

Sarriel's temper had been well restrained in these years. She had learned to always keep her calm, a necessity when she was facing off against the odds. Hiding her emotions, controlling them, and keeping them under wraps was what she did best.

As she grew stronger, and her Dao Heart only followed along, the end result was that her control only became better.

But right now, her gaze couldn't help but flash with fury. The worst part was that Ryu was far too prideful to lie about anything, but he was also far too prideful to feel the need to spread his conquests to the world either.

This meant two things.

First, she had indeed given her first kiss to Ryu. Although it wasn't technically her, and was instead an alternate persona resulting from her special cultivation method, the ultimate truth was that she had. She also liked to pretend that that person wasn't her... but the reality was that it was.

That version of her was a shy, naive girl who very easily acted on the whims of her feelings. The fact she had kissed Ryu meant that that was what she had wanted to do. Or more accurately, at least a part of her, a sliver of her personality, wanted to.

And secondly... that meant that Ryu had a purpose for saying those words.

He was using her. Using her first kiss as a method of attacking the men around her, their psyches, and ultimately their Dao Hearts.

That made one thing very clear...

He didn't give a damn about her at all.

She had been around Ryu for long enough to know how he treated his women. She had observed what he had done for Elena. Despite the trouble she brought him, and how her naivete only made things more difficult on him, she didn't blame her in the slightest during that final battle with the Martial Gods in Sacrum.

That was the kind of man he was. If the roles were swapped and it was Elena standing here instead of herself, there was simply no way that he would ever use his experiences with her to his advantage, even if it meant targeting his enemies.

For some reason, that was what pissed her off the most... because it made the change of Ryu's feelings toward her all the more real.

Back then, her senses were sharp enough to sense it. Ryu had suddenly gone from a man with intense desire toward her, much like almost any other man she had come across, to a man who couldn't be bothered to give her the time of day.

She didn't even care that he revealed the kiss. It was the purpose behind it that truly pissed her off. In any other situation, she just wouldn't react at all. She didn't particularly care whether Young Master Moon or Falling Snow believed him or not.

It was easy enough for them to believe that Ryu was just lying.

And even if they saw the oddities of the facts, and realized he was likely telling the truth, it still didn't. matter.

Her virginity was intact, and her charm was such that any man would wish to conquer her nonetheless. There were probably plenty of powerhouses out there who would want her even if she was no longer a virgin-so long as she still had her Primordial Yin, that is. And even then, there would still be plenty.

However, regardless of all of that, for the first time in decades, she truly lost her temper.

A powerful aura flared out, her Heavenly Pupils flickering deep within her eyes.

She was going to kill this man herself.

The murderous intent of three geniuses spiraled, and to the surprise of many, Sarriel didn't seem to be inferior in the slightest. In fact... they truly had no idea just how much Sarriel was holding back. If she was so weak... then maybe she would have already been married.

Ryu awoke from his [Third Perspective], a snickering light hidden deep within his eyes.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He didn't really care how much Sarriel hated what he did. Her choice would never be based on love and whoever kissed her ass the best anyway.

It would all be dependent on how valuable he was to her.

Once he killed her little lovers and defeated her again, what choice would she have?

Leonel stood to his feet, looking toward where the God Grade World was.

Now, all he had to do was find a method of entering that world...

That world was far too important. There were several High Gods in that region, and there was no doubt that the Peak Dao Gods invested a lot into making sure that it was well protected.

It was safe to say that it would be much more difficult now. And unfortunately, his first plan had fallen through.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos of killing the Middle Dao God of the Fey, distract them with a Peak Dao God Human Emperor, and then find the opportunity he needed to slip in. But now, that was obviously impossible. The Fey had reacted much more calmly than he expected, and now they had apparently brought backup to make this matter even more difficult. Honestly speaking, the more he learned about this situation, the more suicidal it seemed.

But this Holy World was too important. Not only was it the location of the third and final False Shrine he would need to destroy, but it also held the Spacetime fusion that he would need to absorb in order to finally complete his Body Realm Cultivation method.

Ryu sat in silence, his gaze flickering as he thought through several possibilities.

But then his eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light.

'Those statues... interesting... interesting...

Ryu called out Mae, and she sat in his lap as he finished the last of his thoughts. Finally, he opened his mouth to speak.
