"I was here the whole time. But, you didn't notice me. Remember, I told you to explain everything outside?" Liu Bing replied without shuttering even a little. This change made Qin pretty confused. He knew she wasn't weak but then why was she afraid of them?
Because her shuttering wasn't innate.
Qin nodded his head and said, "So, can you explain to me what are those and what kind of army are you talking about?"
Liu Bing nodded her head and swiped her hand once again.
"Name- Liu Bing
Title- Shadow Empress
Cultivation- Qi Gathering Realm- Ninth Stage
Bloodline- Eternal Monarch of Darkness
Bloodline Ability- Shadow Puppets, Cloak of Darkness
Element- Dark Element
Divine Ability- Eyes of Infinity
Martial Arts- Sword of Darkness, Dark Arrows, Shadow Blink, and Wall of Darkness
Item- None"
"Let me start with this. You can understand it as an inheritance. This blue box is called the status panel and it shows my status. First is my name obviously. The title means my inheritance. I am a shadow empress. If it was inherited by a man, it would Shadow Emperor."
"My cultivation realm is also mentioned there. And, the reason why I got this inheritance is because of my bloodline. I have the bloodline of Eternal Dark Monarch or Eternal Monarch of Darkness. As you already know, darkness is related to shadow. Thus, I got two bloodline abilities even though I only awakened it once."
"Shadow Puppet is an ability that allows me to control the shadow of someone and use them as my puppet. Cloak of Darkness is a passive ability that I can't shut down. Because it doesn't consume anything to work, it keeps me invisible to others at every moment."
"Due to my bloodline, I have Dark Element. And, I also got a chance to awaken a Divine Ability. Eyes of Infinity allow me to see through everything, good or evil, weak or strong, nothing can escape from my eyes. These powers are so scary that I am glad that it's an active ability."
"It also shows the martial arts and items. Unfortunately, I don't have any items. So, did you get your answer?"
Hearing her words, Qin indeed learned a lot about her. He raised two fingers and said "First, you didn't tell me why me? There is also Zhao Tan whose path is also just like mine except for the weapon. Second, where is the army you are talking about?"
Liu Bing shook her head and said "Although he has solid heart, something is stopping him from entering Void. Only you are pure void. Guan Xing is on the side of light while Tian Se is on the side of dark. There is a clear distinction between them."
"Zhao Tan and Lan Ming do indeed possess the ability to enter the void. But, Zhao Ming has something that's stopping him while Lan Ming is completely hidden by a mysterious power that I can't pierce through."
"As for my army, they are inside the void, sleeping for all eternity unless I can for them. But to call them, I need to take my bloodline to another level. My bloodline and the inheritance are slowly merging together and if only when I improve my bloodline, I can speed up the process."
Qin touched his chin and asked "How long will it take? Is there some kind of connection between this and me?"
Liu Bing nodded her head and said "Yes, there is indeed a connection. Because this process might even take more than a millennium. And, the only way to improve is by improving my bloodline. But, there is a huge problem."
Saying so, Liu Bing turned silent for a moment.
Qin narrowed his eyes and spoke "Let me guess! You need my help because I am inside the void. But, the question is how can I help you. It's not like I know how I got inside the void. And, I don't even know how to enter the void."
Liu Bing lowered her head and blushed "The void is not something anyone can enter. It is present everywhere but it is not. Space in itself is also void. A void is an empty space. Nobody can live there except for the dead."
"And, only the dead people who have sworn to serve Shadow Emperor/Empress."
At this moment, her face blushed even more fiercely as she continued "If I want to awaken my army and summon them, I need to either push bloodline to another level or push inheritance to another level. Currently, I am not sure what can help me improve my bloodline."
"But..... if I dual cultivate with you, I can connect myself to the void, thus creating a bridge between me and the void. This will push the inheritance to another level."
Hearing her words, Qin opened his mouth wide for a moment.
'When did the dual cultivation become so common? Is it just I or everyone tries dual cultivation while hiding in the shadow? Fuck! I almost forgot. If you can find a good dual cultivation technique, a husband and wife can easily dual cultivation.'
'It's like 'You two are already fucking each other. So, why not use dual cultivation for effective cultivation?'
Qin didn't realize this time his thoughts were quite loud to Xiao Lan. It didn't take him long to reply in Qin's head.
"Young Master, you are not running ads here. Can you not make such ads in your mind?"
'What the hell? Can you stop reading my mind? And, what do the ads even mean?' Qin couldn't help but speechlessly rebuke. Unfortunately, Xiao Lan didn't reply and went silent.
"Ahem! Sister Bing, I don't mind dual cultivating with you but you know this kind of stuff is something you do with a partner. And, I am not a professional dual cultivator." Qin sighed upon Xiao Lan's silence and cleared his throat while answering her.
Liu Bing kept her head down and spoke with a red face.
"I don't have a lover. And, I won't dual cultivate for the next one and a half years until I reach eighteen. So….. so, I was thinking if maybe we could hang out together till then? We can go on an adventure and live together until taking a step forward. This could be like a date…."
Hearing her words question, Qin tilts his head and asked: "Are you perhaps from earth?"
