Advanced Summoning Art

Luna Lian just laughed at that. "Oh, Leo Li! Do you even know what this is?"

"Wh-what is it?" Leo Li was itching and hurting all over, shivering as he asked, "Isn't this the deadly poison for killing Demon Spirits?"

"Ordinary poisons can't kill Demon Spirits. Only Fiendbloom can," Luna Lian replied. "This is indeed a poison that kills Demon Spirits. But for us, it's actually the perfect cure for Demonic Poison! What a waste... A whole bottle of Demonic Poison antidote, and you forced Lily Bai to drink it."

"What?!" Leo Li lunged forward, snatching the porcelain bottle and desperately trying to pour it into his mouth.

But Lily Bai had already finished it—there wasn't a single drop left!

He even stuck his tongue inside the bottle to lick it clean—he looked absolutely pitiful.

But licking the bottle did nothing, so he turned to Luna Lian, begging, "Saint Maiden Luna, you can cure me, right? I heard only your Lu Clan has the antidote for Demonic Poison!"

Luna Lian chuckled, "That's right! My father has Fiendbloom—the one and only cure for Demonic Poison! But do you really think he'd give it to you?"

Leo Li stammered, "I... uh... Lucia deserved what she got, it wasn't my fault!"

"Are you really so sure she deserved it?" Luna Lian asked coolly. "My father took my brother to consult Senior Bai, and she pulled an invisible Beyond-Shore Sigil from his body! Beyond-Shore Sigil! That's why my sister wanted to die! And you still say she deserved it?"

Leo Li's face was swelling up with more and more lumps, but his brain was still working. He trembled all over and asked, "So... so it was you messing with me, wasn't it? You and Lily Bai teamed up to poison me, right?"

Luna Lian shook her head. "Commander Lee! I remember you always say, 'Everything needs evidence.' You claim I poisoned you with Demonic Poison? Where's your proof?"

Leo Li pointed at Luna Lian, then glared at Lily Bai, who was grinning at him, and tried to grab her.

But Luna Lian moved faster, shielding Lily Bai behind her. "If you've been poisoned by Demonic Poison, whatever you do, don't use your spiritual power! Otherwise you'll turn into a mindless, festering Demon Beast in no time!"

Then Luna Lian told the two Divine Soldiers, "We can't cure him. Take him away and lock him up! And be careful—don't let him scratch or bite you."

Leo Li was always beating or berating his men, so the Divine Soldiers didn't bother begging for medicine on his behalf. They just tied him up with an Immortal-Binding Rope, stuffed him in a Spirit Beast Bag, and hauled him off.

They didn't pay any attention to Lily Bai after that.

Lily Bai and Luna Lian exchanged a glance and shared a smile.

"Come on, let's go home," Luna Lian said, taking Lily Bai's hand.

"Wait!" Lily Bai protested. "Xiao Chen is still waiting for me at Heavenly Pool Mountain! I need to go let him know."

Luna Lian said, "Just bring him home with you!"

Lily Bai pouted, "No way."

...

When she got to Heavenly Pool Mountain, she saw from afar that Sean Shaw really was waiting there, just as promised.

For some reason, a bunch of runes suddenly popped into Lily Bai's mind.

The "Love Command" spell.

With her mother's inheritance, she could finally understand what those runes meant.

Turns out, it wasn't a spell to conjure your beloved into physical form at all.

That kind of spell doesn't even exist in this world.

It was just an advanced summoning technique!

So every time she summoned someone, it was the real Sean Shaw!

Oh my god!

Thinking about all the things she'd done in front of the 'fake Chen Xiao,' Lily Bai covered her face, wanting to die of embarrassment.

She really wanted to punch Ian Yan!

She wanted to punch Sean Shaw even more!

That guy really played his part well!
