chapter-1100
"Welcome Back, Husband~!"
A warm smile appeared on Ace's face when he heard Eva's heartfelt words.
"Big bro! Where were you?! I tried calling you, but you didn't answer! And you even hide away all my food! Not fair!" Cyrus spoke with a hint of resentment at this moment.
When Cyrus fell into a slumber, the thief's space still hadn't upgraded, and he had only awakened recently; after finding that all the storage rings were gone and the thief's space had changed completely, he panicked a little.
If not for Eva's presence, he would've thought Ace had abandoned him. But he was still anxious since Ace wasn't replying to his call, and he could sense that Ace was in a strange state at that time, but the little guy could do nothing.Eva was even more anxious than Cyrus, but she knew she had to be brave and believe in him, so he always placated the little guy. Furthermore, she was shocked when she found that after Cyrus woke, his aura had completely transformed, and she could sense that he was like her, a law state!
However, unlike her, Cyrus seemed completely different and even more powerful. This made her wonder if Cyrus didn't need to go through tribulation to ascend to the law state completely.
She even tried asking him, but Cyrus, being Cyrus, couldn't explain anything except some gibberish, so she could only give up.
Ace chuckled and was glad that Cyrus hadn't changed much, and replied, "Tsk, all you care about is food. At least act like you have grown up."
"But I'm a grown-up now!" Cyrus retorted as he slightly raised his beak upward, which made him look cute, not grown-up.
"Dumb brat, you are still a child." Eva flickered gently on the little guy's head with a gentle smile as she clearly liked teasing him.
"Big sis! You can't treat me like a child. I'm big now!" Cyrus cried in indignation.Eva simply ignored him with a chuckle and asked Ace with anticipation, "Did you succeed?"
Ace replied in affirmation, "Yes, I've finally ascended, but there are some compilations. I ended up…"
Ace then told Eva about his current circumstances, the Sect Alliance City, and his inability to use his Qi.
Eva's eyes shimmered with elation when she heard he had ascended to a higher heaven. This also meant that she no longer had to worry about falling into the abyss.
However, when she heard about Ace's strange state and about the Sect Alliance City, she frowned.
"You said you can't gain access to your inner spaces, and neither can you use your Qi. But it should be impossible since I can freely use my Qi despite entering the law state. As for whether it is this Spirit Qi or not, I'm not sure.
"Although I admit that I still need to undergo the heavenly tribulation to complete the breakthrough, your circumstances are very strange. Even this dumb brat can use his Qi, and he seems to be a true law-state cultivator. He has that spirit Qi, which is really potent and far more powerful than the Qi we are familiar with.
"Could it be that this is happening because of your special cultivation technique?" She speculated since this was the only thing she could think of that was outside the common understanding.
Ace fell into silent as he was also having the same idea, "Well, whatever the case is, it won't be for long." His voice became solemn at this moment, "More importantly, how long was I gone for, and when did the cist start reacting like this?"
Eva's expression also turned stern, "It's been 228 days since you last contacted me. Cyrus woke about 90 days ago, and this cist started to emit these strange undulations around the same time when Cyrus woke.
"I then sent those two maids (Sofia and Riana) into my personal living space, and I've been here since then. When this all started, the undulations were vague, but with each passing day, they started to grow, and as you can see, this is their current state."
'I was out for almost a year, huh?' Ace was shocked, but he didn't pay it any heed as he asked expectantly, "Alina is about to awake."
Eva's lips twisted a little. "Heh, she took her sweet time. I was starting to think she's too afraid to face me." Her voice was filled with provocation as she still remembered Alina's challenge.
Ace decided to refrain from commenting on this and looked at the Mystic Bloodline Cist, which was pulsing even stronger after Eva said those words. He couldn't help but think about Alina, and his heart raced with anticipation and a little anxiety.
"Hmph!" Suddenly a cold snort filled with displeasure rang like a morning bell within the entire thief's space, shocking everyone.
'She's coming out!' Eva's devilish eyes started to glow dangerously as she could feel the fighting intent in that voice, and unknowingly, her lips curled up in a cold smile.
At this moment, the cist glowed brightly. 'Boom!' The lid blasted open with a blinding golden-silver light, and a powerful aura released from it, like a slumbering being of immense power had just awakened.
The blinding light started to fade away, revealing a graceful silhouette. Ace forgot to breathe as he stared at this silhouette with all kinds of emotions, while Eva stood there like an immovable mountain, her eyes almost turning crimson.
Cyrus was also witnessing this with curious eyes, and he could feel the threatening aura coming from this silhouette.
When the light faded, the person behind it was revealed. With skin that seems carved from moonlight, she embodies ethereal beauty. Her flawless face holds the gaze of the cosmos, with captivating eyes like mesmerizing twilight silver.
A perfectly sculpted nose and full, pale pinkish lips add a touch of sensuality to her regal bearing.
But it's her hair that truly steals Ace's breath away. Long and flowing, it defies gravity in shimmering strands of silver starlight with a moonlight sheen.
Her figure, tall and statuesque, radiates power hidden beneath an elegant grace. Every curve is perfectly proportioned, hinting at toned muscles beneath a flawless exterior.
Subtle, golden-silver shimmering markings, like constellations, dance across her skin, which seems unique to her lineage. Her most striking feature was a vertical diamond-shaped golden-
silver gem embedded on her glabella, where all the markings on her body connect.
This goddess-forged beauty was a living testament to the power. Every aspect, from her mesmerizing face to her powerful physique, speaks of a being untouched by anything.
Lastly, the aura emitting from her was above all elementals, just like Eva and Cyrus's!
There was no doubt that she was Alina, who had been reborn as a Law State after successfully changing her bloodline!
