Corrupt Creations

Inside the Glazed Lake Sect, Rina had just finished visiting Chun Meiyi in order to check her condition and returned to her own room.

However, she had a really complicated expression on her face at that moment. She had been taking care of Meiyi all this while and she was now certain, that there was nothing wrong with Meiyi's body anymore, yet she was not waking up.

Seth wasn't able to tell her that he had practically extended her bloodline transformation, after he corrupted her Illusive Ethereal bloodline, making Meiyi's body readjust itself once again. That process required time and Rina didn't know about it. However, she knew that at least in terms of health, Meiyi was a hundred percent fine now.

Other than that, Rina was constantly thinking about Seth. Her last interaction with him was so short and ended so abruptly, that she was really worried about him.

When Rina entered back into her room and closed the door behind her, she realized that she wasn't alone. There was a very mysterious woman, wearing a white robe and a white veil waiting for her there.

Impressively, Rina didn't feel like running away from the room and she didn't feel any ill intentions coming from her as well. It was like she knew that woman meant no harm to her, even though they hadn't met each other before.

After that initial surprise from encountering someone else inside her room, Rina felt like asking who was that woman.

"May I know who are you?"

However, the woman didn't respond to that question, since it wasn't necessary. She was there just to tell Rina one thing and that's all.

"Don't bother with that. What you should be bothering with, is about that man."

"Are you talking about Seth? Did anything happen to him?" Rina started to get anxious.

"He is most likely fine, but you'll only find out about what happened, once you reach your hometown. You can ask the Eleventh Palace Master to create a way out for you anytime."

After saying those words, the woman silently vanished. Rina was looking directly at her, but in a single blink of her eyes, that woman disappeared.

However, something was telling her that she better go back to the Elven Kingdom as fast as she could.

Actually, Seth was in a very delicate situation, but his life wasn't in danger. But the Lake Goddess wanted Rina to depart from the Glazed Lake Sect, else she would be caught in the crossfire that was about to happen. Seth's situation just turned out to be a very convenient to use excuse.

Rina quickly found her way to the Yushui's office room and after thanking her for everything, she decided to leave the sect. Before leaving though, Palace Master Yushui gave her a glazed stone that contained detailed information on how to reach the Elven Kingdom, while using the fastest and safest routes.

Suddenly, Seth opened his eyes. Immediately, he was able to realize he was in a very bright and lighted environment. However, he noticed he wasn't normally laying or standing, but he felt like he was hovering amidst some white clouds.

His vision slowly started to focus on everything around, what made him realize that he was in a really different environment. Actually, it could even be considered an impossible to exist scenary.

All he could see were white clouds. Be it above his head or underneath.

Those clouds were passing by right beneath his feet, giving him a very relaxing sensation. When he projected his sight into the horizon, all there was, were those same white fluffy clouds, extending all the way towards the ends of the earth.

The only different thing his eyes were able to capture, was a very small bamboo hut, standing right in the middle of that sea of white clouds. What clearly should have been an impossible scenario. But it was there, standing some hundreds of meters in front of him.

At that moment, Seth didn't know where he was, what he was doing there and why he was there as well. Actually, he didn't even know who he was or what he wanted to do. It was like he was in a place his identity didn't exist.

The only thing he knew, was that he had a bit of curiosity about what and who lived in such a different place, but apart from that, he knew nothing more. It was like he didn't need to know of anything else when he was at that place.

Seth slowly approached that bamboo hut, observing how it beautifully combined with that completely strange scenario and just when he was very close to it, he was able to notice that the door was open.

At that space and time, he wasn't able to feel apprehension, nor he was able to feel fear, so before long, he entered the bamboo hut, trying to see if there was someone inside.

Inside that hut, there weren't many things. It was like a small hut constructed for a person to stay for some time and appreciate the scenario. But the place it was built, was what made it incredible.

Looking closely, Seth was able to see a diary staying on top a small wooden furniture. He decided to approach that diary, in an attempt to see what it was or who it belonged to, but before he could see it, he heard some fleeting words inside his head.

"You shouldn't be here... It isn't time yet."

Seth stopped and asked: "Who's there?"

That same unidentifiable voice said: "Go back before you lose your identity... When the time comes, you can return to this place."

Seth suddenly felt like his eyes were getting heavy and a dense white fog started to cover his vision. A few seconds later, his figure slowly vanished, alongside his consciousness.

After talking with Rina, Shui Meihui caressed her daughter and decided to go to sleep. It was already getting dark outside and she would have to take care of her small garden tomorrow morning as well.

Meihui laid down on her bed and closed her eyes. However, this moment of her day, was actually the hardest for her. Ever since those bad things happened with her daughter and with her nation, she always caught herself spending hours while thinking about that, right before she was finally able to sleep.

However, this time, right after she laid down, her eyes were especially heavier than normal and she immediately fell asleep.

A second after that happened, a mysterious woman all clad in white appeared in her room. She slowly moved her right hand and a blue veil of energy enveloped Shui Meihui's body.

"Sigh... I'm sorry, but for your own safety, you'll have to keep sleeping for some days. Don't worry, when you wake up, everything will already be over and you will be able to live peacefully once again."

After she finished doing that with Shui Meihui, she went to Shui Meiyi's bed, but she didn't do anything.

"Sigh... I shouldn't be doing this, but I'll have to take the risk."

Suddenly, the whole environment went still. It was like time was stopping just to witness her acting.

The Lake Goddess eye's started to shine and right at the forbidden zone inside the Glazed Lake, that crystal clear lake with an illusory moon inside, started to ripple.

Darya immediately noticed that her Master was going to do something and an expression of shock appeared in her face. She knew how badly were the tethers around her Master and for her to be doing something like this, something really important was about to happen.

From inside that mysterious lake, a single drop of water separated itself from it and suddenly disappeared. Back at Meiyi's bedroom, the Lake Goddess was extending her palm forward, moving it towards Meiyi's body.

There was this drop of a crystalline water in her palm, which she was about to infuse inside that girl's body.

But suddenly, outside the Glazed Lake Sect, the space began to shake. It was like something way worse and deadlier than a storm was about to descend.

The Lake Goddess realized all that activity outside, but she kept doing what she was about to do.

Katcha!

Lightning started to wildly crack inside those dark clouds, trying to warn her not to do the thing she was about to do. An immense pressure descended all over the Glazed Lake Sect and many of the girls were forced down to their knees. Some of the weaker ones even fainted.

The Palace Masters didn't know what was happening and even for them, that pressure was too much.

The Lake Goddess realized things were getting out of control and she was forced to do something she didn't want, but had to.

That drop of water she was about to infuse on Meiyi's body, was forcefully ripped into two and half of it instantly flew back to the lake. Immediately after that, the pressure vanished and things returned to normal.

"Guess it will be up to him..." After saying that, she infused that half of a droplet inside Meiyi's body and made it merge with her.
