Reverse flow of the Yellow Springs

Chapter 449 Dragon and Tiger

(Some readers seemed dissatisfied with yesterday's skill choices, preferring either "Close Encounters" or "Shadow Clone." If you have any suggestions, please leave a comment here. My original idea was to combine Spatial Vibration with Weakness Detection to transform into a humanoid calamity, further enhancing both offense and defense. Clones are disadvantageous against strong opponents. If you're not satisfied, feel free to leave a comment; the story hasn't unfolded yet, there's still time.)
If the Mirror of Reversal had self-awareness, it would probably be cursing loudly at the bottom of the lake.

What's wrong with you humans? Why are you throwing this at me? You'd better have something on your mind!

Cheese knew Li Yelai's personality very well.

If we don't discard the Mirror of Reversal, who knows what tricks Li Yelai might pull.

It's not impossible that the mirror could be used on oneself or on her.

Although she was somewhat curious whether Li Yelai, after using the Mirror of Reversal, would resemble Li Yunyan.
But this is not what she wants right now.

"Wash me again." As she whispered her request, her heart raced.

She knew this request was somewhat despicable, even bordering on coercion.

Given her personality, she would never have said such a thing before.

But now, under the influence of the Heartless Fruit and after so many experiences, she no longer wanted to care about any consequences.

Even after changing her clothes and washing her body, nothing happened. She had to take drastic measures!
This familiar scene reminded her of a time when the two of them were alone together.

That was a raid targeting the branch of the Church of the Embers hidden beneath the giant city.

Of course, that was also the Yellow Springs Train's lifelong nightmare.

It is said that people still tremble at the mere mention of Li Yelai's name.

It was during that battle that she broke her arm and had it put in a cast, making it difficult for her to move around.

That night, Li Yelai took her home.

She had been lounging lazily on the sofa, letting Li Ye help her, who had difficulty moving, take off her clothes.

At that time, she just wanted to tease the young man.

As she watched Li Yelai blush and carefully undress her, a strong impulse suddenly welled up inside her.

However, considering his arm injury and the potential disappointment in realizing his dream, he decided to pursue his goals.

She suppressed the urge and declined his invitation to scrub her back.

Otherwise, where would the dolls even get a turn?

Looking back now, she seems to regret it quite a bit.

It's my hand that's injured, not my back. At worst, I can just control myself.
Under the allure of the Heartless Fruit, the cheese's desire grew stronger.

At this moment, Li Yelai's body was stiff.

If changing the cheese's appearance before was a last resort, then...

I can't just let the cheese wake up in that state.

Moreover, at least one can use the Mirror of Reversal to suppress desires one shouldn't have.

Now, the Mirror of Reversal has been thrown into the lake. Cheese herself has also woken up, but she wants him to wash her one more time.

"You're awake, go wash yourself. Here's another request," Li Yelai said softly.

He remembered the voice he heard while he was unconscious. The injured and dying girl had dragged her immobile legs across the rubble, tearing her clothes and skin, to use the only healing potion she possessed on him.

She also whispered in his ear, her words filled with intimacy, reluctance, and affection.
Li Yelai seemed to understand something. The power of the Heartless Fruit intensified at this moment, but the image of another girl appeared in his mind, allowing him to suppress the palpitation in his heart.

"There's nothing I can do. I don't have any strength right now. I feel smelly, you must not have washed me properly." Cheese said in a gentle tone, seemingly unconcerned: "Anyway, you've already seen everything, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

But her rapid heartbeat and flushed cheeks seemed to betray her.

"Now, we're all parasitized by the Heartless Fruit. Something bad is going to happen," Li Yelai whispered a warning. Countless hateful words echoed in his mind.

Li Yelai has a strong will, but that doesn't mean he won't do things that harm others, especially when his methods are prohibited.

“Yeah, we’ve both been parasitized.” Cheese paused. “So, you don’t need to worry about me parasitizing you.”

Seeing that Li Yelai was about to speak, Cheese said quietly, "You're not allowed to pick it up before you're finished washing it. And you're not allowed to do anything self-harming."

Li Yelai was speechless for a moment. He had really thought about going to the lake to retrieve the Mirror of Reversal.

Or, in a physical sense, it is about suppressing desire.

That might hurt a lot, but he has the face of an immortal god, which can heal any injury.

Although it may cause psychological trauma
At this moment, the cheese discovered these problems in advance and blocked these methods.

Seeing Li Yelai blush and stop responding, Cheese felt a little disappointed. He thought to himself, "Hey, Wuxinguo, are you even any good? He hasn't even used the Divine Demon Tablet yet, and you're already useless?"
But she still said, "If you're shy, close your eyes. I'll guide you. You can't refuse anymore."

So, after preparing hot water and a large bucket...

Li Yelai suppressed the strong temptation in his heart, picked up the cheese, and stepped into the warm water bucket.

He closed his eyes and felt the warm water seep into his clothes and wet his skin.

He could feel the girl's soft body leaning against him, her gentle hair rustling against his neck, stirring his heartstrings.

His hand was held and guided by the cheese, which wiped away any dirt that might be on her body.

Through the damp towel, he could feel the girl's body trembling slightly.

This also made his body somewhat stiff.

The alluring power of the Heartless Fruit in his mind became extremely strong.

A strong desire echoed in his mind, tempting him to open his eyes.

He kept his eyes closed and withdrew his arm.

His voice was hoarse as he said, "Stop! The power of the Heartless Fruit is too strong. Something really bad will happen."

His eyes were tightly closed, yet he saw many erotic scenes. The seductive power from chaos was eroding his reason.

"You're really good at holding back," he heard the girl whisper, her voice slightly breathless.

Then, he felt the girl leave him.

'Has his strength finally returned?' Li Yelai wondered.

The next second, he heard the girl whisper: "You really don't understand, or are you afraid to understand?"

"Never mind. It's all the same." Then he felt the water rise, and the girl seemed to have dived underwater.

Meanwhile, at a certain ruin in Wanlong Lake.

It is also a branch base of the Bliss faction.

The Chosen One of Bliss, looking at the mass of minced flesh brought before him, was filled with confusion.

"What is this?" Fallen Wish looked at the cultist who offered the chopped meat: "Is this a new feed for supernatural beings?"

“You have misunderstood, sir.” The female follower gave an ugly smile: “This is Huang Ji, the city lord of the Azure Dragon City-State, a noble family of Huang.”

"Is this pile of minced meat from Huangji?" Duoyuan looked at the minced meat in front of her in surprise.

Huang Ji was a nobleman who had submitted to Jile and, with Jile's help, became the head of his family and the city lord of the Qingjiao City-State.

He once humbly wanted to become a demon general of the Fallen Wish, and the Fallen Wish was willing to give him this opportunity, as long as he completed the mission.

The Bliss faction also needed local nobles to assist in its management.

Even if someone lacks the strength, they can still be promoted to a demon general.

I never expected it to turn out like this.

"He was a Sixth Awakening cultivator, and he died a mangled corpse?" Fallen Wish frowned. "He failed to meet that person, and instead died like this?"

Duo Yuan knew that Huang Ji had led his troops to find Li Ye. He never imagined he would end up as a pile of minced meat.

The way he died was so gruesome; you could easily mistake him for a burnt pancake.

"Yes, he once gathered several teams to fight several dragons by Qinghu Lake. But when our people and the forces of Ruohai City arrived at the lake, all we saw were countless shattered corpses," the cultist said. "All the soldiers and dragons perished. Even the falcons were crushed."

"Completely wiped out? The official forces of today shouldn't have this kind of destructive power. They are very strong, but it's impossible that not a single one of them survived." Duoyuan frowned, then examined the pieces of flesh in front of him.

"Yes, he died a very painful death. His flesh was completely torn away, and his bones were all shattered. His screams must have been incredibly beautiful."

"The fatal wound was a severe blow to the skull; judging by the point of impact, it was shattered by a single stomp. That force was immense. Was it a gravity-based skill? Or something more?"

Duo Yuan restrained his seductive power and carefully and elegantly examined and analyzed Huang Ji's cause of death.

Every chosen one of Bliss is an artist who has reached the pinnacle of artistry. She is no exception.

She possesses exceptional analytical skills and was able to reconstruct everything that happened on the battlefield almost instantly.

"I see." After looking at the pictures of the other corpses, Duoyuan smiled.

"Sir, what have you noticed?" the follower asked.

"What appears to be cruel torture to outsiders is a wonderful feast for us. It's been a long time since I've felt this way, and the thought of it always excites me," Fallen Wish licked his lips. "It is precisely these agonizing screams and cries that bring us pleasure that replenish his spiritual energy, allowing him to complete this grand slaughter. If the Blood God faction saw this, wouldn't they be green with envy?"

"You mean," the follower said with delight, "that sir has already succeeded?"

"It's almost done. The Heartless Fruit probably hasn't completed its final fusion yet, but it should be soon. As expected of a champion's agent, his willpower is indeed strong." Fallen Wish smiled. "But it's still not enough to counter the Heartless Fruit!"

"Then why did he attack Huang Ji and the others? They were there to meet and protect that person," the follower asked. "They're one of us."

"After all, it's not completely successful yet." After looking at the report for a while, Fallen Wish said calmly, "Moreover, Huang Ji doesn't really understand the temperament of the Chosen Ones."

According to the report, the last person to take away the champion agent was a female night owl.

Their relationship may be very good, even close.

Even if affected by the Heartless Fruit, this relationship will not change.

The female night watchman might have intended to attend his funeral, but he might have considered her his own possession.

Huang Ji's peculiar habits had him in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whether it was offending the Chosen One or the Champion, he was doomed.

"Well, it's alright. Although we couldn't find him, at least the Champion Agent has awakened. We no longer need to worry about his safety. As long as he doesn't stubbornly enter the ruins, there will be no danger in Wanlong Lake." Fallen said after thinking for a moment, "As the Heartless Fruit continues to corrode, he will come looking for us as one of our companions."

"What we need to do now is wait!"

"Moreover, we have other troubles to deal with." Thinking of those lost branch headquarters, Duoyuan's expression turned somewhat grim.

She had no idea what had gotten into the Immortal and Blood God factions, that they had started attacking most of the Blissful Branches.

The giant city and the restricted area must be laughing their heads off when they hear this news.

Why are you acting crazy all of a sudden?

This left the Wanlonghu branch without much reinforcements, putting them at a disadvantage.

Now, it seems that all the chosen ones of Elysium, as well as princes and great demons, are pondering this question.

They even speculated that it might be the wicked, damned followers or chosen ones of God who were behind this conflict.

After all, eight out of ten conspiracies in this world are related to the Way of Deception. Wrongfully accused? So be it! You're a follower of the Way of Deception, what's there to complain about? Any accusation leveled against the Way of Deception wouldn't seem out of place!

The losses suffered by the Bliss faction this time will likely be substantial.

The good news is that the Heartless Fruit is almost complete.

This is an absolute killer weapon, once the Heartless Fruit spreads throughout the physical world.

They will achieve even greater results!

The Heartless Fruit is hailed as a world-destroying weapon, and there's a reason for that.

Once it corrupts the champion agents, it will continue to spread and corrupt the geniuses of the physical world.

Let the Blood God and the Immortal Faction make their fuss for now. Once the Heartless Fruit spreads, they'll suffer the consequences.

Once the Blissful Faction conquers one colossal city after another, one forbidden zone after another, without shedding a drop of blood, they will become the most powerful faith in this world!
Unknown to anyone, in a mysterious place, a white tiger and a giant dragon engaged in a fierce battle.

The white tiger is beautiful and fierce, while the dragon is ferocious and enormous.

The battle between the dragon and the tiger was so intense and brutal, with the ferocious beasts colliding with a deafening roar.

The white tiger bit down on the dragon's body, its powerful bite seemingly about to crush the dragon.

But the dragon was too tough; even such a ferocious beast could not bite through its body.

The dragon roared angrily and launched a powerful counterattack against the white tiger. Its body was still expanding, as if it wanted to break free from the white tiger's entanglement.

The white tiger struggled on, tearing at the dragon's body. But in the end, it was a bloody battle.

The dragon pressed its advantage, unleashing its scorching dragon breath upon the bloodied white tiger!
At the same time, a splash of crimson appeared in the wooden barrel.
