The lady's voice was like music, and just hearing it made Han Sen happy .
"My name is Han Sen . What about you?" Han Sen asked .
If she was an emperor, she'd undoubtedly speak her title . And once she did, he could find out what or who she really was .
"Xiang Yin," the lady said with a smile .
"Xiang . . . Yin . . . " Han Sen repeated after her, weirded out that it wasn't a name typical of any spirit .
Xiang Yin looked at Han Sen and pointed at his Dragon-Blood Ring, saying, "Why would you have that? Has he died?"
"You know Dragon King?" Han Sen asked with shock .
Han Sen did not know whether the lady was a friend or foe of Dragon King, so he knew he'd have to tread carefully with his answers on the subject . The last thing he wanted was to have her as an enemy .
"If you know Dragon King, how have you never heard my name?" Xiang Yin asked, with that ever-present smile .
Han Sen was shocked, and so he asked, "Are you one of Ancient Devil's generals?"
Xiang Yin said, "Do not avoid my question . Why do you have that ring? Where is he?"
Han Sen eyed Xiang Yin dubiously, not expecting she might be one of the generals .
But at least he now knew why she had summoned him over there, and that was due to his possession of the Dragon-Blood Ring .
Even if she was a general, though, she could be an enemy of Dragon King . There was no telling whether or not she was friendly with him .
Han Sen told her, "I stumbled across it at the resurrection sight . "
He then went on to tell her the whole story, but with a few modifications . He told her he was only watching the entire thing, and he didn't tell her what had actually gone on between him and Dragon King .
Xiang Yin, after hearing it all, sighed and said, "Even Dragon King failed to ascend . Tell me, is he dead?"
"Sister, do you want to become a demi-god, too?" Han Sen, noticing how relatively non-hostile she was, was feeling some relief .
She nodded and said, "When the flower opens, that is the time . "
"Flower? The jellyfish? They aren't fruit?" Han Sen asked with shock .
Xiang Yin said, "Who told you these were fruit? They're just the flowers of this tree . "
Han Sen noticed Xiang Yin being quite relaxed, and so he asked, "There are many scary creatures here . Don't you think they might interfere with your attempt of ascension?"
Xiang Yin glossed over them and said, "If I succeed, they are nothing greater than dust compared to me . If I fail, they can have my body . "
Han Sen was shocked . It was then that he understood that the creatures were not there for the tree, but for her . They were waiting to see whether or not she would succeed .
If she failed, her flesh would be extremely beneficial and a whole lot more valuable to the creatures than any fruit could be .
When she ascended, she would receive the powers of the Fourth God's Sanctuary . If she failed, she would still have a bit of that juice left in her system .
Han Sen no longer wanted to steal anything from the area . Seeing the beautiful woman happily face a life or death gambit, he felt incredibly antsy .
Han Sen knew he could not compete with her, even if he tried his absolute best . But if she had a chance of becoming a demi-god, she was definitely an emperor with at least ten gene locks open .
"I did not expect to meet someone I could talk to, before I departed this place . I would like to provide you with a gift before I depart . " Xiang Yin retrieved something weird .
The item had been created from bone, and it was oval-shaped . There was a hole on the top, with a number of smaller holes on its body .
Han Sen had no idea what manner of instrument it was, but he knew it had to be incredibly powerful .
Han Sen said he shouldn't accept such an impressive gift, but his true intent manifested in his hands which lecherously reached out and grabbed it .
Xiang Yin smiled and said, "This is the Broken Bone . It was crafted from my collarbone . If I fail, this will be a historical relic, and proof of my existence . "
"I am sure you will succeed," Han Sen said .
Han Sen was shocked, though . He thought the generals were all spirits, but if she was telling him the item was crafted from an actual bone of hers, it meant she was a humanoid super creature .
Only creatures could create something like this, as spirits could only craft geno treasures . Han Sen did not despise creatures, and he had many as pets like the silver fox .
She looked human, besides the fact . She was a stunning woman, and he was hard-pressed to believe she really was a creature . She was no nice and generous to give him a gift such as that .
Xiang Yin smiled, and suddenly, the flowers above began to shine and fall .
They didn't fall off like flowers, though . They were like jellyfish, floating down deeper into the abyss of an ocean .
The glowing jellyfish were all around the tree, like a dream .
But the creatures did not admire the beauty of this scene, they instead stared at the center of the tree .
Han Sen looked to where they did, and noticed there was a hole in the tree . The hole was bright, brimming with an untold energy .
When the light from inside it got stronger, it was like witnessing a rising sun . The jellyfish flowers began to change their course and fly towards it .
