Chapter 7: 103 Points of Strength Attribute
Looking at the crystal ball in Lilith's hands, Su Xiao had just reached out to take it when the crystal ball exploded in his hand, turning into a large number of light particles that floated before him.
These light particles spun and twisted for a moment before forming a circular mirror surface, within which the female demon Lilim appeared.
Thump, thump, thump...
Lilim knocked on the mirror surface, turned her head to look at someone beside her whom she couldn't see, and asked, "Is this good enough?"
"Mm, no problem."
A hoarse and deep voice came through, impossible to tell if it was male or female.
"Ahem, long time no see..."
Lilim stared straight at the mirror surface, saying nothing, making the scene extremely awkward.
"So stupid."
Lilith, sitting by the fire, turned her head, acting as if she didn't know Lilim.
"Uh, sorry, forgot my lines. Long time no see. I didn't expect you to enter the Black Abyss so quickly. Since you're seeing this recording, it means you've already met up with Lilith. I originally wanted to send stronger clan members to the Black Abyss, but who knew those old geezers would disagree—a miscalculation. But that said, although my sister looks dumb, like she's about to be scammed out of her money and body at any moment, she's actually not that stupid. Anyway, I'm counting on you—don't abandon her. She'll fight for you."
Lilim's expression gradually turned serious. She had interacted with Su Xiao before and naturally understood some of his temperament, fearing he might get Lilith killed.
Bang!
Lilith kicked the crystal mirror, sending a shockwave that scattered the nearby fire into disarray.
Lilith's teeth ground audibly, and the war scythe in her hand glowed red. Clearly, Lilim's earlier comment about her 'looking like she's about to be scammed out of her money and body at any moment' had angered her.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Reflection Mirror will shatter soon. See you later, ally."
With a crackling sound, the Reflection Mirror burst into countless fragments, gradually disappearing into the air.
"Hmph."
Lilith stomped her foot in anger. In truth, her personality wasn't cold and aloof; she just wasn't very good at expressing herself and was somewhat irritable. As Lilim put it: "This is my sister. She's fierce."
"So you're Lilim's sister. That explains things, but..."
A gentle smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. Seeing his smile, the fearless Lilith inexplicably took a small step back—this was an instinctive danger warning.
"You can call me Su Xiao, or Bai Ye. Names aren't important. What matters is, what's your purpose in coming to the Black Abyss?"
"To follow you."
Lilith answered almost without thinking. This was the order she had received: to reinforce Su Xiao and gain experience along the way.
"So you're a hired thug?"
"An ally! I'm an ally."
Lilith seemed somewhat indignant, but after hesitating for a moment, she chose to endure it. This was her first time leaving home alone, and she needed to maintain proper vigilance to avoid being tricked.
"Mm, ally, hello."
Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground, gathering a few burning pieces of wood from the sand together, and casually tossed the stick in his hand into the fire.
Lilith said nothing, only patted her flat stomach. The black dragon meat was unexpectedly delicious.
"Ally, guess whether I poisoned the food."
"Impossible."
Lilith wasn't too concerned about Su Xiao's words. First, the demon race had highly developed taste buds—if the food's flavor was off in the slightest, she could detect it. Second, her poison resistance was astonishing, another innate ability of the demon race.
"Didn't your sister tell you I'm an alchemist...ist...ist..."
Hearing the last word from Su Xiao's mouth, Lilith felt the scene before her begin to blur, and the whole world started spinning.
With a thud, Lilith lay on the sand. Meanwhile, on the demon race's home planet, inside a lavishly decorated bedroom, Lilim was applying a light green spring water to her face. As the water evaporated in the air, a very fresh scent spread out.
"I wonder how that little girl is doing. She hasn't been tricked out of her virtue the moment they met, has she?"
"Lady Lilim is overthinking things. Lady Lilith is very strong."
Lilim's makeup box spoke in demon language—a toy gifted to Lilim by the Tree Sage.
"It's not a matter of strength; it's experience. Poor little brat. But... serves you right. Tough luck."
Lilim reached up to touch her neck, where two rows of teeth marks were clearly visible on her fair skin.
"Damn it. Such a disgrace."
Lilim clenched her fist, trembling with anger. As she recalled some unpleasant memories, in the neighboring Black Abyss, Lilith lay on the sand, her even breathing indicating she had fallen asleep.
Although Lilith wasn't naive, Su Xiao judged from their first interaction that she was inexperienced in the world. For someone with such formidable combat power but little worldly experience, if she didn't learn the dangers of the Black Abyss, problems would arise sooner or later.
Su Xiao dug a pit in the ground, tossed Lilith into the sand pit, and buried her up to her head.
With a swish, the scythe with a demon eye was thrust into the ground beside Lilith. The Apostle's Eye floated out from Su Xiao's sleeve. He was about to use it to keep watch when he hesitated and decided to first check Lilith's attributes.
