Transformation Failure

"Azure Flame?" Soren Lann abruptly stood up. "How could it be you?"

Azure Flame looked a bit embarrassed and gave a small smile. "Sorry, I got carried away and played a prank! But... why did I suddenly revert back? Did you use some kind of spell on me?"

Soren Lann, worthy of his Divine Lord title, quickly recovered from his shock and said, "You're lying."

Azure Flame: "..."

"Why did you come here?" Soren Lann asked. "Did the Crown Prince send you to spy on me?"

That was actually true... but it might spark a fight between them!

They were rivals in love to begin with...

Azure Flame was silent for a moment before answering, "No."

"Then what is it?"

"I... took a liking to the Divine Lord, so I deliberately got close to you," Azure Flame replied.

Soren Lann looked at her for a long moment, then suddenly burst out laughing. "General Azure Flame actually has a sense of humor."

Azure Flame replied, "I'm not joking."

Soren Lann raised an eyebrow. "Even if you're not joking, I can tell you plainly: I don't dare accept your 'affection.'"

Azure Flame said nothing.

"I imagine you've been lurking here for quite a while, but it doesn't seem like you've gained much, has it?" Soren pointed to the door. "You can leave now! I won't see you out."

Azure Flame asked, "Can't I stay?"

"What, General Azure Flame wants to serve my Qilin Clan now?"

"I once promised you I wouldn't leave you," Azure Flame said.

That was the reason she came back.

"No need! Even if you're telling the truth, I still have to say sorry! My apologies." Soren's face was full of rejection.

Azure Flame's briefly expressive face slowly returned to its usual wooden calm. She nodded and turned to leave.

Soren Lann watched her striking, heroic figure disappear and connected to Sean Shaw. "Crown Prince!"

......

After leaving the Radiant Palace, Azure Flame thought for a long time and finally narrowed down her suspicion to Adrian Drake.

No one else had entered Soren Lann's sleeping quarters today.

Only Adrian Drake.

At the time, he even shot her a shifty look.

She was just about to confront Adrian when she saw him approaching with Lily Bai and Luna Lian.

Azure Flame appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Oh? Senior Azure Flame? What a coincidence!" Lily Bai greeted her warmly.

"Crown Princess, it's perfect that you're here." Azure Flame held out her arm. "Help me check my pulse and see if I've been poisoned!"

As she spoke, she shot Adrian Drake a threatening look.

Adrian Drake: "..."

What happened?

Lily Bai asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"I don't know why, but my transformation spell suddenly failed," Azure Flame said. "This has never happened before."

"Your transformation spell failed? Did you reveal yourself in front of Divine Lord Soren Lann?" Lily Bai asked.

Azure Flame nodded. "He kicked me out."

Lily Bai laughed cheerfully. "Well, if you got kicked out, you got kicked out! Let's all go back to Drake Abyss together! Come on!"

"Check me, please." Azure Flame still held out her arm.

Lily Bai had no choice but to check her pulse, then said, "You're not poisoned."

"Then what's going on?" Azure Flame frowned, sinking into deep self-doubt.

Lily Bai shook her head.

"Adrian Drake! Was it you?" Azure Flame suddenly grabbed him.

"No! How could it be me?" Adrian Drake waved his hands frantically. "It's not me! Not me! I don't have the ability to break your spell!"
