386: Chapter 386 Hua Liuli Arrives
Chen Yi was stunned.
At that moment, what he saw in Emilia's eyes was not lust, nor was it calculation!
It was a novel desire for exploration!
It was like a child who had discovered a toy they had never played with before—that kind of genuine happiness from within.
"Then—"
Emilia smiled, "I look forward to working with you from now on, my dear partner!"
After saying that, she began her performance, even taking a moment to wink at The girls in the Crystal Palace who were staring in stunned silence!
The scene was so bizarre that Chen Yi didn't know whether to cover his face or laugh!
"Holy crap, slow down!"
"If I slow down, it will be too late!"
Ten minutes later.
Just as Emilia's performance reached its most intense stage.
"Hum!"
Above the Star-Falling Valley, the space suddenly tore open!
A pitch-black rift opened, and two figures stepped out from it.
The leader was none other than Hua Liuli.
She wore a long black dress, her long hair dancing wildly in the space-time currents, and her stunningly beautiful face originally wore an expression of urgency and confusion.
Because she had just clearly perceived that the Domination Brand inside Chen Yi's body had suddenly disappeared.
This was impossible!
The conversion of the array eye was irreversible!
Unless—she thought of a terrifying possibility!
Chen Yi still had unknown trump cards, and he might even be able to counter-invade the main array eye!
That was why she had disregarded everything and brought her personal guard to tear through space and rush over.
However, when Hua Liuli saw the scene in the valley clearly, she froze in mid-air.
The personal guard behind her—a Tenth Rank, Tenth Stage Demon Emperor named Lucifer—was also stunned!
The two high-ranking members of the Demon Abyss Cult, who had seen it all, were momentarily caught in a state of cognitive shock.
In the center of the valley, Emilia was riding on top of Chen Yi, her silver hair dancing wildly, her clothes in disarray; the sight was indecent.
But Chen Yi was lying on the ground with his eyes tightly shut, and the silver-white array eye mark on his forehead was glowing faintly.
But if one looked closely, one could see a strange red light faintly showing beneath his eyelids.
That was—Blood Eye Suggestion?
Hua Liuli's expression changed from shock to confusion, from confusion to realization, and finally flushed a deep, ashamed red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You—Emilia!"
Hua Liuli said angrily, "What are you doing? This is absolutely shameless!"
Emilia turned her head slowly, her face still flushed with lingering color.
Of course, heaven knows if she was acting or if she was actually a little excited!
She rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Can't you tell? I'm cleaning up your mess!"
"Cleaning—cleaning up a mess?"
Hua Liuli's brain didn't process this immediately, "You're using your body to clean it up?"
"What else?"
Emilia sighed, glanced at Chen Yi, who was still lying on the ground, and looked helpless, "You still underestimate this guy!"
"He has hidden trump cards. When I arrived, he was almost about to counter-invade your main array eye core!"
"If I hadn't used the Blood Eye Suggestion to suppress him in time, the one who would be a puppet now would likely be you."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Hua Liuli and Lucifer were stunned.
Blood Eye Suggestion was one of Emilia's forbidden techniques, capable of temporarily suppressing a target's consciousness and planting simple behavioral commands.
As allies who had worked together for thousands of years, Hua Liuli naturally recognized the traces of this skill.
She looked closely at Chen Yi.
Sure enough, the young man's eyes were tightly shut, but the red light showing beneath his eyelids was indeed the characteristic of the Blood Eye Suggestion.
Furthermore, the array eye mark on his forehead had stabilized, emitting pure space-time fluctuations, but it no longer carried her Domination Brand.
Everything made sense now.
Chen Yi had triggered some kind of hidden ability during the process of becoming the array eye, almost counter-controlling the main array eye.
Emilia had arrived at the critical moment, suppressed him with the Blood Eye Suggestion, and preserved the array eye's authority, but because of this, she had to imbue it with her own aura to strengthen the control—
The logic was closed!
A perfect explanation!
Hua Liuli's suspicion quickly faded, replaced by a wave of lingering fear.
If Emilia had arrived one step later, if Chen Yi had really succeeded in his counter-invasion—
She shivered.
"So—"
Hua Liuli's voice became much softer, "You were helping me?"
"What else?"
Emilia rolled her eyes again, "Do you think that after living for eight thousand years, I would still be lusting after men like a little girl?"
"Is that so? This scene—"
Hua Liuli wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to describe it.
She had spent too much time with Emilia and naturally knew what Emilia looked like when she was excited.
That's right, it was exactly what she looked like right now!
After thinking for a moment, Hua Liuli still asked, "Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
Hearing this, Emilia stopped the slow swaying of her waist on top of Chen Yi and elegantly moved half an inch away from him.
Her long silver hair fell down, covering half of her face.
She sighed softly and murmured, "Your good daughter has betrayed you; didn't you know?"
"Be—betrayed?"
Hua Liuli was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about Black Rose?"
"Yes!"
Emilia raised her hand, her slender fingers twining around a strand of silver hair, "But strictly speaking, it cannot be considered betrayal—Chen Yi can also use a certain type of suggestion skill. Your daughter was hit by this move and thought her plan was being executed smoothly!"
Hua Liuli's pupils constricted slightly: "How could that be? Then the information that Shadow Brake and Bone Erosion brought back before—"
"Acting, obviously. You still didn't realize such a simple thing?"
Emilia chuckled, "Think about it carefully; aren't there many suspicious points? For example—"
Next, in her absolutely rational tone, Emilia analyzed one by one the hidden loopholes in Chen Yi's plan, which he had thought was a perfect 'killing three birds with one stone'.
Each suspicious point taken individually was not enough to overturn the entire plan!
But connected together, they formed a dense web of doubt!
The more Hua Liuli listened, the more shocked she became, and the look of fury gradually faded from her stunningly beautiful face.
In fact, she had not been completely unaware of these anomalies.
As the queen of the Demon Abyss Cult, capable of expanding her influence to such an extent over hundreds of years, her wisdom and insight were extraordinary.
It was just that as soon as those doubts surfaced, they were suppressed by her trust in Black Rose.
Black Rose was the Demon Emperor she had personally created and raised with her own hands; she was her most prized daughter!
This deep-rooted trust made her subconsciously ignore those discordant noises, and she would never think deeply in that direction at all!
But Emilia was different!
She had lived for eight thousand years; she viewed everything in the world like a bystander examining a chessboard, never carrying any emotional color or sentimentality, impartial, absolutely rational and objective!
Through her calm analysis, the suspicious points that Hua Liuli had automatically filtered out resurfaced and became very clear!
It felt like there really were quite a few suspicious points?
Could it be that she had really been deceived by Chen Yi and Black Rose working together?
Hua Liuli asked herself in her heart, her fingers tightening involuntarily.
