In front of this woman's remark, Zhi Rui sighed." Can we eat something? I did not eat anything until now." Zheng Li frowned. Bianca laughed "Of course dearie. "Hugo, bring us some food." Yelled Bianca.

It was quite weird to see something so beautiful yelling orders, it did not match the picture. Bianca smiled and walked till a table in the side of the room. She beckoned to Zhi Rui and the others.

Zhi Rui simply walked. Zheng Li and Izaya followed after her.

As they sat down Bianca explained.

"The incarnation of Lust, more precisely the original, the first existence, known as luxuria. The church of lust believes with some proof that luxuria is the materialization of the goddess of the dark elves, she represents everything the dark elves had ever lived for, with few exceptions.

it was predicted that Lust would appear in this kingdom. So we came here early. and examined every woman in the three nations, the only one that had and the actual chance of receiving the blessing of lust is you. Zhi Rui.

Zhi Rui sipped the wine that was already on the table and asked "Why is that?"

Bianca saw Zhi Rui's demeanor and squinted her eyes "First reason, you're my daughter you have the blood of the dark elves, which in the cult history three of the incarnations of lust came to be dark elves. The second reason is: You lived a frugal, strict life. Lust never appeared upon birth. it manifests where it judges to be the best subject. And the subjects must want pleasure, and the people who most want them is the people wholess chance of realizing his desire. and people like you who live for the church have immense pent up wishes."

Zhi Rui looked at Bianca while eating meat. Asking for her to continue with her eyes.

"Ugh fine. The true way we knew was: We can feel when Lust has descended, then it's only a question of where it is. but luck got us. and you were chosen by lust.

Putting the cup of tea on the table Zhi Rui raised her eyebrows.

"I see, so that's how it is. Now you found me, how the story progress?"

A light passed the eyes of Bianca "Now that we found lust, the cult's mission is, to auxiliary Lust in any and every way."

"Any and every way?" Zhi Rui straightened her back, looking into her eyes Bianca nodded with vigor, anything that you want to do we'll be right behind you. the power of lust works in a way that, as long as you state your lust you get strong, for example, should you felt the need for a candy and you ate on right after you're energy gets denser and stronger."

Zhir Rui's impressed face undid in a second. "Oh, but now that I think about it, the sins of lust before me, all died early before the other six sins were even discovered. So that strategy isn't the best." Zhi Rui looked at the door as steps of the servants with food came in.

Nobody spoke while the servants set the table. Zhi Rui was drooling at the sight of beast meat in front of her. But Bianca was examining her. 'Was it on purpose? did she just test me? Well, It doesn't matter. Only this much won't be proof for her to be on guard with me. And besides, she lived in that towers for her almost her wholes life, How could she be a match to me a two hundred years old dark elves in the six-level.? Bianca chuckled.

As the servants went away, Bianca continued "True you can 't be too cautious, through history you'll see that they all precipitated themselves and were overwhelmed by enemies. While it may weaken you, you should focus on slowly gaining power instead."

Zhi Rui nodded "What about my brother?" she bit the leg of a savage chicken. And looked at Bianca. Zheng Li stood straight in his seat.

Bianca nodded at him. "He was supposed to be your guardian, you would give him his first time, then you and he would grow strong together, Using the cult's method of dual cultivation. But now, the milk is spilled." Bianca sighed at him and Zheng Li trembled, he did not know there wasn't another way around it.

Zhi Rui smiled and leaned her head to him giving him a kiss on the cheek

"It doesn't matter if you will be my guardian or not. be good. I'll keep you by my side. Zheng Li slapped the table and got up, storming away. Zhi Rui squinted at his back in a smirk. 'To be so emotional, he's so cute,'

The smell of the chicken attacked Zhi Rui back to the table.

Bianca raised her eyebrows at the girl's lack of reaction, "maybe," she thought, "she needs a little more incentive."

bianca starts to explain the story behind the place.

"This place is a remnant of the dark elves. it's a small amount compared with the amount on the continent. We live underground and secluded so our resources are small. for that, we built a pyramid system, with me at level six on the top. there's one more level five, three levels four. Thirty at level three and a hundred at level two. the rest are all level one. Biance finished.

Zhi Rui looked at her "That's too few right? I mean you're in a forest that it's in the middle of the barbarians, the empire, and of the light sect.

if you tread wrong even as a level six you'll die." Zhi Rui aid omniously.

Bianca froze, she couldn't understand the girl, let alone, show a reaction to a level six in front of her she did not even blink a the thought of having level six and five as subordinates.

Zhi Rui got up from the table. "Now that we clarified everything. I'm going away. mom see you next time then. I promise I'll come visit."

"E-Eh? W-wait you need to receive your items as the incarnation of lust." Zhi Rui did not turn back. "My brother still here, sent it through him. I'm in a hurry now."

Bianca stood frozen. She thought that with her advanced age she would be able to understand things, but with Zhi Rui, that belief went away.

Zhi Rui and Izay got out of the place the same way they entered. Zhi Rui looked around and found the formation where they came from and finally reached the edge of the forest again. Right beside the city gates.

Izaya looked at her from behind. "You just gained an immense amount of power," he stated.

"It seems like it, but I didn't. In fact, my troubles just doubled,. Zhi Rui answered his confusion "She tried to entice me to do whatever I want to rais my power. but that's suicide. I may be able to take over the light sect. or the empire if I'm overpowered but I wouldn't be able to keep it, With the whole continent on my back. then I would become another one of the sins of lust who died even before the other blessings showed themselves."

Zhi Rui looked at Izaya's eyes.

"I don't need solid proof, that much was enough for me. Now Izaya, help me think, why a level six woman who doesn't want me alive did not kill me right away?

"We can come p with theories but we'll never be sure, there's not enough information," Izaya said

Zhi Rui walked to Blackie that was sleeping in the place where they parted ways. "That's a truth." Zhi Rui looked at Izaya "take my things tha she gave me from Zhang Li. Then tomorrow I'll come again to the community center I'll then take them. till then," Zhi Rui stared firmly in his eyes "strengthen yourself and your daughter if you need any type of core or any other resource you can ask me. also, help Hilda with her things she'll help you with yours."

Izaya nodded. Zhi Rui mounted on Blackie and asked: "How is the hunt for the relegated alchemists?"

"I already identified who they are, now I only need to know where they work and who finance and protects them," Izaya reported.

Zhi Rui nodded "Put Hilda to investigate when everything is ready we'll take over the drug marked in the three nations."

Zhi Rui smirked, the new enemy is absurdly strong, but she felt weirdly excited. 'HaHa, I am more like Hilda then I thought.
