Defying the Fate of Beheading-Chapter 604 - 323: Black Swan Softens, Transforms into a Little Swan with a Black Heart_2
If it weren't for the little swan's somewhat immature body, she could be described as cool and elegant.
But as expected, although the Black Swan seemed a little unhappy, her expression still softened:
"You could have told me about this beforehand, I'm not some girl who loves to act rashly."
Louis thought silently in trouble.
When you talk about your main body, did you consider she might be secretly watching you from behind?
The little swan who has reclaimed most of her time avatars, how could she be an unreasonable fool!
She is certainly a cold-hearted person who can't be underestimated.
If you really treat her like a pushover, you're likely to get poisoned.
Louis silently mourned for the Black Swan for a minute, then said:
"Beatrice is someone very important to me."
"She's the same for me too." The Black Swan said somewhat irritably, "I shouldn't have gotten involved with you back then. Now, remembering my sister, some things are difficult to do." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Louis's eyes flickered slightly.
Given his understanding of the current little swan, even if she isn't monitoring the Black Swan in real-time, she will read these memories later.
So is he responding to the Black Swan or to the little swan?
The only certain thing is that for both the little swan and the Black Swan, Beatrice is the reason they strive.
So he said, "There's nothing difficult about it; what's done is done. All we can do is quickly level up and eliminate all factors adverse to Beatrice."
He truly believed this.
But he also knew that this statement was most likely to gain the approval of both the little swan and the Black Swan.
Though Louis also harbored some little thoughts, after all, once someone has tasted meat, it's not so easy to stay vegetarian.
Having gone hungry for so long, finally getting to have a full meal, it's impossible not to have some feelings about it.
"Our affair must not be known to Beatrice. You just properly fulfill your responsibilities as a Prince of the Empire, and do other necessary things when you have the time."
The Black Swan pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.
It was clear that in this lifetime, she wasn't planning to surface at all.
That made Louis feel both sorry for her and somewhat relieved.
After all, if this situation really blew up, it would be hard to handle.
Empress Ense and her sister serving one man?
If this were to go public, it would be explosively shocking.
"I'll talk to the Lokeshi Empire about the matters of the Great Sin·Envy; I have a vague premonition he might cause a big mess, disrupting our plans."
"Hmm, it's up to you, I can't step into this matter." The Black Swan glanced at Louis, and finally said, "Speaking of which, it is quite strange, wasn't the power growth happening a bit too fast?"
Louis was silent for a while, then broke out in a cold sweat.
Could it not be fast? After all, your main body, our little swan, played a major role.
So he decisively changed the topic and said, "It's because we came to the Lokeshi Empire and acquired quite a few good things, right?"
Then he carelessly passed the blame: "Instead of this, shouldn't you think about when we should meet to properly boost our cultivation?"
The Black Swan blushed, then let out a cold snort: "You just wish."
Louis shamelessly said, "Well, can you at least think about it in your heart?"
He widened his eyes at the Black Swan, afraid she'd outright say no.
The Black Swan was silent for a moment before finally saying, "Can I even control what you're thinking?"
"You're the one spoiling an innocent youngster, you wouldn't want to be irresponsible, right?"
"Get out of here!"
...
The two ended the chat amidst playful laughs, but after closing the communication crystal, Louis's expression turned calm.
"The Great Sin·Envy... That kid Chloe died a real injustice."
Chloe, his theoretical fellow countryman, had left Ense many years ago and joined the Lokeshi Empire's assassination squad.
Having finally shed the shadows of the past and lived the life he wanted, it wasn't long before he got entangled in the Shadow Country incident and quietly vanished.
At the time, he even suspected Chloe was the Great Sin·Envy, but later it was proven that the Great Sin·Envy was someone else.
Before, when he disappeared for so long, Louis initially thought he had joined the Abyssal Church and become a sewer rat, too afraid to show himself.
But never expected, that guy had the audacity to infiltrate the Giant Demon Tribe and steal the power of the Great Sin·Wrath.
Given the power of the Giant Demon Tribe, there's no way they would unknowingly allow an undeveloped Great Sin to invade.
The Lokeshi had said long before that the profession level of Envy was only LV13.
Even though this level was very high for his age, and he was an exemplary strongman, but…
Even among Great Sins, this power was too weak to stand in the Giant Demon Tribe.
After a moment of thought, he put on a mask and contacted Nuke Long Xiao, who had been appointed Grand Chief.
...
"Lord Nuke, long time no see, how are you these days?"
Looking at Nuke with his somewhat disheveled hair, Louis wondered if it was his illusion; it seemed like the legendary's hair had thinned quite a bit since he last saw him.
Noticing a subtle expression from Mayer opposite him, Nuke snorted and said:
"If you want to ask something, just ask. It's one damned thing after another here."
"What's exactly going on with the Great Sin·Wrath? The news has reached me."
Nuke took a deep breath: "These unreliable folks, such an embarrassing thing should have been kept quiet."
"So the body really disappeared?"
"Yes, following the highest honors of our Giant Demon kin, he was to be placed in the Eternal Ice Coffin and buried in the cemetery.
Next spring, if ice crystal flowers bloom beside his grave, it means he successfully went to meet the Ancestral Spirit.
This was meant to be the highest specification of a state funeral for our heroes, but who would have thought…"
As Louis observed Nuke's increasingly fierce expression, it had become as savage as a demon's.
"Lord Nuke, please stay calm, we won't let off those behind the scenes either. Regarding the thief, we hope your side also shares any information with us."
Nuke nodded with difficulty:
"I am sending demigods to track down the opponent, and if there is any news, I will let you know, no more talking about this, it makes me angry."
The Grand Chief who had some association with Louis' face showed fatigue:
"When will you and the Lokeshi Empire finish negotiating? I want to personally twist the heads off those bastards."
When Nuke said this, his expression was incredibly calm, a stark contrast to the previous dreariness in dialogue with Louis.
This precisely indicated he was genuinely furious.
Twisting off the heads of the Abyssal Church's followers, this wasn't just an expression; it spelled out his real intention.
Louis nodded and said, "We'll speed things up here, and I will keep a close eye on the affairs of the Great Sin·Envy."
Nuke nodded.
...
After Louis disconnected the communication, he sank into contemplation.
The Giant Demon Tribe was engulfed in unprecedented rage.
Even Nuke was barely maintaining rationality.
It's understandable.
The Giant Demon Tribe established their nation at a tremendous cost.
The Great Sin·Wrath nearly shed his last drop of blood for the tribe.
No surprise, once the Giant Demon Empire gets on track and begins to spread education, he would be a key hero in history textbooks.
Yet this Giant Demon hero, who fell before dawn could rise, didn't even have his body left, as it was stolen maliciously.
Louis hadn't dared to say too much just now.
Judging by the power transfer situation of the Great Sin·Wrath, every giant demon in the Rage Legion had consumed the flesh of that Great Sin.
So...the shared devouring of the Great Sin·Envy might be different from the shared devouring between us and our little swan.
Such a matter was too dreadful to ponder deeply.
No wonder Nuke was red-eyed.
"We need to have a moment with Beatrice, hasten the shutdown progress, the giants over there might go insane."
Louis began to silently mourn for the Fallen Star Sea branch of the Abyssal Church.
Fearing they might bring out the entire newly formed Giant Demon Imperial Army, he really thought Nuke could do it.
