The Chaos Dragon Prince

The door automatically slam shut behind him while Cain's eyes were treated to a well-lit chamber.

Inside wasn't anything that strange from the norm. All that any ordinary cultivator would have for their cultivation needs.

Causally sitting, while reading some law book was Zexi. Her seductive charm seemed even more intense in a casual setting.

Rays of her divine light would strike right at the soul. The slow smile curling her lips was impossible to not get lost in.

Naturally, Cain stayed completely calm as he slowly approached the table.

Zexi didn't mind at all. She happily clapped her hand. "I've been waiting for this all day! Come, take a seat, and just relax."

Settling himself in a chair not that far away from Zexi, Cain didn't spare his words or waste time. He struck right at the heart of the matter. "I'm assuming you must have some special ability that allows you to feel something odd from me. Are you possibly calling me here for some kind of exchange?"

Zexi paused for a moment. She curiously tilted her head. "Ah, I wasn't wrong at all. But people like you really don't spare their words, huh? I can tell a lot others in a slave position would feel honestly hopeful about seeing me at night."

"And I can tell that you're someone far beyond what they show on the surface. You're both Divine Rulers, but I can simply detect that general Wen is absolutely nothing compared to you. People like you aren't content with wasteful situations, right?" Cain looked straight into Zexi's eyes as he spoke.

There was a brief lull of silence between the two.

Cain's stare was unbreakable. And Zexi's beautiful, teasing face slowly turned serious.

She quietly sighed and said, "Mn. Your determination is more than obvious. And as for my special abilities, let's just say that I'm not completely who I present myself to be, just like you said."

Divine lights streaked from Zexi's back the moment she finished speaking. Her Divine Aura intensified. Suffocating law principles rippled through the atmosphere.

Zexi's divine lights had transformed into the form of divine, feathery wings!

Both wings trickled with blinding gleams of electricity. An immemorial pressure exuded from the divine wings.

Cain was slightly surprised. This was exactly the sensation of a divine tier bloodline! He slowly said, "Going by everything...this house protects you from other senses and you must be greatly proficient in Divine Transformation Laws."

"Heh." Zexi lightly chuckled. "More so, I have a great transformation art handed down by my elders. As you are indeed guessing, I've come from another Holy Land, the Lightning Roc sect. And my bloodline's unique abilities allow my eyes to see various mystical energies from both the environment and people's beings. Typically, when I see all these slaves, their divine laws and divine qi are all either unstable or feeble. Even the more talented ones are completely ordinary in my eyes. But you...you can probably guess what your mystical energy is like."

Cain paused for the briefest moment. Not too long ago, he was dismissing the notion of having great luck.

But now, he's quite literally faced with an extremely lucky situation.

Zexi had just managed to get to the cave he was mining in on the first day and had bloodline eyes that can tell what divine energy is special?

It really was suspicious to Cain. Like a gnaw continually eating away at the back of his mind.

But Cain suppressed this sensation and calmly said, "Given that I'm currently injured, it should be in a chaotic state. But even so, it's still far denser and mysterious to gaze upon, no?"

"That's right!" Zexi's smile grew brighter. "Not even the most prime disciples in my sect could compare to what I saw from you! Your luck definitely had to be terrible to end up getting captured by these damn Astral Demons. But now, your luck is absolutely outstanding to meet with me! I can tell by helping you, we can easily escape this slave camp and I can even recommend you to my sect. A talent like you is bound to make anyone excited."

"I see..." Cain slowly curled his brows. "Say, isn't this a lot of trust you're placing onto this random slave you met literal hours ago? Unless there's some situation forcing your hand?"

Zexi's face suddenly lost all emotion. She began to speak, a twinge of disgust in her tone. "As you said, my hands are forced. I'm expected to be prized off to some trashy, peak Divine Ruler demon. Doing it will allow my position among others to remain unchecked."

There was another brief lull of silence.

Cain quickly settled his thoughts and said, "If we do make a noise here, will any other Astral Demon come?"

"Ah, you don't need to worry about that." Zexi's expression quickly returned to her usual smile. "This is just some minor slave camp the higher-ups just see as another number. So? Are we in agreement?"

Cain naturally couldn't fully trust Zexi. But he also didn't have many other options besides mining like a slave.

Even if there is some betrayal coming along, Cain would make use of all opportunities to turn things in his own way!

Thus, he nodded without any hesitation. "We have an agreement."

"Excellent!" Zexi's face was illumined with majestic light.

She quickly flashed out several items onto her palm. Ripples of intense healing energy came from the spatial rings. And next to the spatial ring was a small vial of a beautiful crystal liquid.

Cain's attention stayed on the vial the most. His Divine Sense was in a bit of awe. The healing principles from this vial alone feel superior to most, if not all, Saint rank healing pills!

Zexi smiled with pride. "You sense it too, huh? On my travels, I've managed to get lucky and come across some Spring Crystal Water for myself. I have still a large batch for myself. And while I am unsure what exactly is your injury, I'm sure you'll be back at nearly full force with this."

"I see..." Cain had no idea what Spring Crystal Water was. But he wouldn't be polite at this point.

Taking the spatial rings and the small vial, Cain dutifully nodded at Zexi. "For your help, I assure you, this whole slave camp won't be an issue anymore."

He began to rise and continue to say, "Now then, if there's not anything else, I'll need to go home and make a true recovery. I'm sure we both have zero desire to stay here for even a second longer."

"Couldn't say it better myself." Zexi eagerly nodded. "I will await your recovery, then."

With that, Cain quickly took divine steps out of Zexi's house.

Everything returned to a serene silence. Yet Zexi's mood was more than complicated.

This should just be an inclination of hope at the end of a dark tunnel. She shouldn't have any dreams or wild fantasies about Cain completely changing the situation here.

And yet, her very soul could not stay calm. As if something was telling her that this decision had just changed everything for her. "Haah...whether it's a success or a total failure only remains with her."

Zexi quietly sighed. Shaking her head, she hardened her determination. Since she had already taken a foot on this path, there was no reason to hesitate. She'll have to pour her all to the very end.
