Chapter 474: Balena's Origin
"Oh? You could guess that I came from the upper realms?"
"Isn't that an easy matter?" Zhang Fei [4] asked back. "This Netherworld Realm is a demon realm in the middle realms, and I can feel that your demon aura is stronger than the other Oriths, even though your demon rank is below them.
That's why I guessed that you came from the upper realms, but your current situation confuses me, especially since you are stronger than them, yet you are confined in this place."
"I see." Balena replied with a nod. "You're right; I came from the upper realms, and my planet's name is the Blue Water Realm. Actually, I don't have any purposes in this realm, and I was stranded in this realm by accident after I entered a teleportation portal. While I was confused about my situation, a group of perverted male demons intercepted me and tried to capture me for their own purposes.
In response, I fought them and managed to kill several of them. However, one of them eventually called their leader, and it was those three succubi duchesses who answered their call. At that time, I sustained heavy injuries, and the three of them ganged up on me. In the end, I fell into their hands, and it happened because of this bracelet in my hand, which sealed my demon power."
'Is she telling the truth, Mei?'
[According to the data in the system, the Blue Water Realm does exist, Master. The realm is filled with ocean, and there is only 1% land, so all the demon in that realm lives underwater.] Mei then explained to Zhang Fei many other things about the Blue Water Realm.
Zhang Fei [4] nodded slightly. "Anyway, what's your name? Do you have a way to return to your realm? I might be able to help you get out of this place, but I can't do it now, and I have to wait for the right time for that."
"Why do you want to help me? What do you want from me? Anyway, my name is Balena, and I'm a demon whale."
"I want to help you because I believe that you are not an evil demon, and I don't want anything difficult from you." Balena put on a suspicious look after Zhang Fei [4] said that. "Honestly, I have a desire to go to a demon realm in the upper realms, but I have no way to go there.
I think the only way is to free you from this place, and you might be able to take me with you if you have a way back to your realm."
"Unfortunately, I don't have a way to get back to my realm, especially since the portal that took me to this realm disappeared right after I arrived." Zhang Fei [4] expressed disappointment upon hearing this, and Balena proceeded further. "Before I met those perverted demons, I had tried to find another way to return to my realm, and I had also tried to contact my family.
Unfortunately, all my efforts were in vain, and I am trapped here now."
"I see." Zhang Fei [4] then spoke to Balena once more. "Orith has great trust in me, so I will try to talk to her later. Unfortunately, she and the other two have gone to the Demon Emperor City and will not return soon, so please be patient. Anyway, I think you can already guess my identity, right?"
"Yes."
"I had to put this blindfold and ball back over your eyes and mouth, or they'll be suspicious of me." Balena nodded in understanding, and Zhang Fei [4] immediately put both of them back on her before leaving the underground.
Balena then turned to look in the direction Zhang Fei [4] was leaving. 'Isn't he a lust demon? Why don't I see lust in his eyes, even though I'm naked in front of him? Moreover, he himself is not a demon from this realm, and I can sense something else about him, but I don't know what it is.'
After he left the dungeon, Zhang Fei [4] immediately contacted Xenaya and Risaela, and he asked them to meet him in Orith's room.

"Why did you come here, Aunt Keqing?" Shang Yaolin, who had just finished her task, asked in surprise.
Ran Keqing immediately explained the reason for her visit to her niece, but Shang Yaolin's expression turned annoyed as soon as she mentioned the pill that Shang Xiaojuan had given her. "Did you feel the effects? Did you dream about your cousin while you were sleeping?"
"So the pill was meant to make me dream about him?" Ran Keqing answered with a nod, but Shang Yaolin was confused by it, especially since she had never dreamed of Shang Xiaojuan in the past four days, and he had been dreaming about Zhang Xiaolong [3] instead. "It seems like the pill's effects aren't working for me, Aunt.
I haven't dreamed of him at all, and I've been sleeping soundly for the last few days."
This time, it was Ran Keqing who was surprised by Shang Yaolin's answer because she knew the quality of Ai Weiren's pill, and she thought that her niece would be affected by it. "Did you really not feel anything?"
"No." Shang Yaolin shook his head at his aunt. "Anyway, I hope you won't tell that bastard about this, or he will force me to take another pill."
Ran Keqing immediately agreed to Shang Yaolin's request. "You don't have to worry about that, especially since I don't want to ruin your father's and uncle's relationships because of this matter, so I won't say anything to my son. Since nothing has happened to you, I will return to our realm and discuss this matter with your uncle."
"Yes." After Ran Keqing left, Shang Yaolin immediately put the cleaning tools back in their place and returned to her room. She frowned when she saw Shang Xiaoyin standing in the distance, staring at her with an expression full of hatred, but she ignored her and returned directly to her room.
Shang Yaolin was furious in her heart as soon as she saw Zhang Xiaolong [3] in her big sister's arms, plus Shang Yumei was also naked. However, her expression turned jealous of her big sister's body, especially since they were blood sisters, but their bodies were as different as heaven and earth. 'Damn it! Looking at her body makes me feel like I'm an adopted child!
She inherited our mother's sexiness, but I didn't inherit any of her sexiness.'
"Hmm?" Shang Yumei immediately looked at her little sister, but a mocking smile appeared on her cold face, and she also hugged Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s head tighter to her chest.
Shang Yaolin's blood and anger boiled seeing her big sister's behavior, but she didn't dare to say anything to her, especially since Shang Yumei could always control her using her techniques.
"Ugh! Big Sis Yumei, let go of me; your boobs are suffocating me!" Shang Yumei let go of Zhang Xiaolong [3], who immediately sat up on the bed and looked at Shang Yaolin. "When did you come back, Big Sis?"
"Just now." Shang Yaolin answered briefly and turned to go to the bathroom, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately stood up before jumping onto his back, surprising him. "Aren't you happier with my big sister? You should be with her and ignore me."
'Hahaha! This woman is jealous of Shang Yumei.' Zhang Xiaolong [3] then hugged Shang Yaolin's neck from behind and spoke telepathically. 'Big Sis, your big sister is hot, but I think you are better than her. Moreover, you brought me here and treated me well, so I can't possibly ignore you.
Anyway, I've already rejected her request to live with her, but she's very stubborn, so she wants to stay with us here.'
Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s answer provided quite a relief to Shang Yaolin's feelings because she was afraid that Shang Yumei would snatch him away from her, but she was also confused about how he could escape from her big sister's techniques, especially with his low cultivation and soul strength.
"Let's go, Big Sis. I'll accompany you to take a bath." Shang Yaolin nodded slightly and carried Zhang Xiaolong [3] into the bathroom.
Although their relationship seemed very close, Shang Yumei wasn't worried about it, and she was fully confident that she would be able to snatch Zhang Xiaolong [3] from Shang Yaolin soon.
<Aren't you going to follow them, Yumei? If you let them continue to get close, that brat will become more attached to your sister, and you'll have a hard time snatching him away from her.>
Shang Yumei immediately got out of bed to get dressed, and she answered the woman in her mind. 'Master, you not only gave me this bloodline and physique, but you also taught me all your techniques, so you must believe in me.
Moreover, I feel that he is a little different from all the men I have ever met, and he seems to have strong control over his mind despite his young age, so I think it would be better if we don't rush him. No matter how close he is to Yaolin, I am completely confident in everything I have, and I will definitely subdue him sooner or later.'
<I hope you are right, or you will be the one who loses if you fail to subdue him, and you will never succeed in achieving your dream.>
Instead of getting angry, Shang Yumei smiled confidently. 'Don't worry, Master. You can see for yourself how I subdue him, and I will make those people kneel before me after I subdue and strengthen him.'

In the bathroom, Shang Yaolin was already soaking in a wooden tub with Zhang Xiaolong [3] sitting with his back to her, but she didn't say anything, thinking about the effects of the pill and her dreams. 'What exactly happened? As far as I know, Senior Weiren's pill is very powerful and effective, but I never once dreamed of that bastard, and I kept thinking about Long'er instead.
Moreover, I felt that my dreams were so real, and my heart beat strangely every time I saw him. I was even jealous when I saw him being hugged by my big sister, and I also became more and more afraid of losing him.'
"What are you thinking, Big Sis? Why didn't you say anything?"
Shang Yaolin looked down at Zhang Xiaolong [3], but she did not directly answer his question, and she could feel her heartbeat speed up because their faces were so close to each other. "Long'er, are you really not going to leave me? Although I don't want to admit it, I am fully aware that Big Sis Yumei is far better than me in every way.
Her face, her body, and her cultivation—everything about her far surpasses mine."
"Big Sis, a woman's beauty and sexiness aren't everything, so you don't need to feel jealous or afraid of Big Sis Yumei." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then turned to face Shang Yaolin and embraced her waist.
"Your body may be inferior to hers, but your beauty is not inferior to hers, and I can say for sure that your character is much better than hers, especially since she is too cold and lacks emotion, which makes her look like a soulless doll. Meanwhile, you are much warmer than her, as well as more expressive.
If I had to choose between the two of you, I would choose you without hesitation, because an emotionless woman like her is too boring, and I don't want a woman like that by my side."
Shang Yaolin smiled and wrapped her hand around Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s neck. "Did you mean what you just said? Do you really choose me over Big Sis Yumei?"
"Big Sis, my father always told me that a man should not play around with words, so I meant what I said just now, and I will definitely choose you over Big Sis Yumei." Shang Yumei's expression looked relieved when Zhang Xiaolong [3] said that, but she was immediately stunned when he turned into an adult.
Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s action left Shang Yaolin speechless for quite a while, and her heart was beating very fast as she looked at his mature appearance. Two red hues immediately decorated both of his cheeks, especially since his face bore a striking resemblance to her dream. "How... how did you transform like this?"
"Hehehe! Are you surprised to see me?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked as he laughed because of her expression, and Shang Yaolin just nodded at him. "Big Sis Yumei said she wanted to see my adult form, so she taught me a transformation technique, and the result is what you can see now."
'Tch! That crazy seductress! She likes young leaves like our mother and Aunt Xinxin!' Shang Yaolin then pulled both of her hands from Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s neck and caressed his face. "You are truly as handsome as in my dreams, Long'er."
"Eh?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] pretended to put on a surprised expression. "Did you really dream about me, Big Sis?"
"Yes." Shang Yaolin didn't hide it from Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Anyhow, Aunt Keqing came to see me earlier, and she told me that the pill that bastard forced me to swallow was the Xingfu Pill, which would make me dream about him for a whole month. However, I never dreamed about him, and I've been dreaming about you for the past few days instead."
'A whole month, huh?' Zhang Xiaolong [3] then said to Shang Yaolin. "Isn't that great, Big Sis? If you dream about that bastard for a whole month, you might fall for him. Moreover, you don't like him, so you'll definitely suffer if that happens."
"I wholeheartedly hate that bastard because he kept forcing me to be his wife, even though I had repeatedly rejected him, and he even used such a pill on me. Fortuantely, the effects didn't work as he expected, so I'm relieved about that." Shang Yaolin once again fell silent as she continued to look at Zhang Xiaolong [3].
"However, my dreams bring up a strange feeling in my heart when I see your mature appearance like now, and I've never felt this kind of feeling before, which makes me so afraid of losing you."
Zhang Xiaolong [3] then pressed their foreheads against each other. "Big Sis, you don't have to worry about that because I will never leave you, and I will always stay by your side."
With their faces only an inch away, coupled with Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s words, made Shang Yaolin's heart flutter even more. She immediately grabbed his head and moved her head slightly forward, causing their lips to press against each other.
However, the touch of their lips brought Shang Yaolin back to her senses immediately, and she hurriedly moved her head away from Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s, turning her face to the side. "Sorry, Long'er. I don't know what got into me to do that."
"You don't need to apologize to me, Big Sis." Zhang Xiaolong [3] expressed this as he turned Shang Yaolin's face back towards him. "Actually, I don't mind it, and I'm happy about it. Honestly, I like you myself, but you've always treated me as a child, so I was overjoyed when Big Sis Yumei taught me the transformation technique."
"You-" Shang Yaolin swallowed her words back as Zhang Xiaolong's [3] face slowly moved closer to hers, and she immediately closed her eyes as their lips once again touched each other. 'Ugh! What happened to me? Could it be that I inherited my mother's disorder? Long'er is still a kid, but I'm so eager to kiss him.'
In the end, Shang Yaolin hugged Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s neck and pulled him closer, and she began to enjoy their casual kiss.
After all, Zhang Xiaolong [3] disguised himself as a ten-year-old kid, so he couldn't possibly show his experience in kissing to Shang Yaolin, and he clumsily kissed her.
