"If not, you’d better go beg High God Quentin Lian!" Lily Bai blinked innocently. "Last time, my junior Nine Li was poisoned with Demonic Poison too, but after eating just a tiny bit of High God Quentin Lian’s Fiendbloom, he was instantly cured!"
The Azure Dragon Lord glanced at her.
"But from what I can see, Young Master Drake’s poisoning is way worse than my junior’s was back then. Luna said that if the poison isn’t cured, he’ll turn into a monster covered in festering sores!"
The Azure Dragon Lord brought her into the Mirror of Truth, checked her inside and out, and confirmed she wasn’t carrying any spirit pets or companions. Then he bound her with the Immortal Binding Rope.
"Huh? Azure Dragon Lord? Why are you tying me up?" Lily Bai’s eyes widened.
The Azure Dragon Lord said nothing, sealed her cultivation, and dragged her off toward the Azure Dragon Lord’s Manor.
When they reached a basement, she saw a human-shaped monster covered in pus and chained up with layer upon layer of iron chains, howling like a wild beast.
"Oh my god!" Lily Bai stared, stunned. She’d lived two lifetimes and never seen anyone turn into this from Demonic Poison before. "Don’t tell me this is Young Master Drake?"
"Quentin Lian refused to save him, so I can only use you!" The Azure Dragon Lord’s eyes were crazed.
"Use me? What do you mean?" Lily Bai was confused.
"You drank the antidote—if Leo Li eats you, the effect should be the same!"
"Are you kidding? If you eat a bowl of rice, what comes out is still rice?" Lily Bai was speechless. "Azure Dragon Lord, you don’t know anything about medicine—go get someone who does! This kind of nonsense isn’t going to help!"
"Shut up!" The Azure Dragon Lord, already driven mad by his son’s condition, cast a spell and turned Leo Li back into his original form—an Azure Dragon with rotting scales falling off everywhere.
Then he picked up Lily Bai and shoved her toward the Azure Dragon’s mouth.
He was really going to have Leo Li eat her alive!
Lily Bai raised her eyebrows and suddenly chanted a spell.
The Azure Dragon’s dazed eyes snapped open, suddenly locked onto Lily Bai like he’d just been injected with pure adrenaline.
A sly smile curled at Lily Bai’s lips—she chanted another spell.
Leo Li bared his fangs and, with a surge of demonic flame and thunder, attacked the Azure Dragon Lord.
He blasted fire and thunder everywhere, catching the Azure Dragon Lord completely off guard and sending him scrambling.
Trussed up by the Immortal Binding Rope, Lily Bai sat on the floor in a tiny bundle, watching the Azure Dragon Lord and finding the whole thing ridiculously funny.
He actually wanted to use her as an antidote for Leo Li?
What was he even thinking?!
Their ancestor Leon Zane was a master of medicine! How come none of his descendants bothered to learn anything?
And her mother, Bianca Whitefan—who was she, really?
She wasn’t even human anymore.
She was a fiend.
A High-level Mutant Fiend.
Back in the day, even the Divine Lord and Emperor Evan Xiao nearly lost their minds—and their lives—dealing with her.
Controlling Demon Beasts with fiend-spirit power was basic training for her.
On this continent, nobody surpasses her in fiend-beast control.
And now, she’d passed that inheritance down to Lily Bai.
So Lily Bai could control Leo Li and have him attack the Azure Dragon Lord as easily as breathing.
The poor Azure Dragon Lord dodged left and right, but Leo Li only got fiercer. In the end, the Lord had to retreat, planning to come back once Leo Li calmed down.
But when he came back, Lily Bai was nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it!" The Azure Dragon Lord immediately ordered all exits from Drake Abyss sealed and a hunt for Lily Bai.
But Lily Bai hadn’t actually left.
She just had Leo Li help her remove the Immortal Binding Rope and break the seal on her powers. Then she went invisible.
When the Azure Dragon Lord opened the door again, Lily Bai simply slipped out.
