Chapter 1219 - Where Are We Going?
Rean decided to ignore Roan's words and focused back on Liana. "So, as I said, any woman who loves Kentucky is usually a good person. Are you a good person?"
Liana had a weird expression on her face. What kind of question was that? If she said yes, would they simply believe it? No one would be idiotic enough to do so. "Listen, I just want your Demon Bird, okay? Tell me what price you need me to offer to give him to me."
However, this time, it was Kentucky who answered. "I'm sorry, lady. However, this Demon Bird here is everyone's Demon Bird. I can't give everything to just a single fan of mine. Otherwise, the others will feel it's unfair."
Roan couldn't help but think that Kentucky now had shit for brains.
Surprisingly though, Liana didn't seem to mind how Kentucky thought so highly of himself. "There are a lot of people from the country I came from. Don't worry, I won't keep you all for myself. However, I can definitely provide you a lot more than the twins here can. You all came from a small country, after all."
Rean shook his head in response, saying, "It has nothing to do with who has more resources. Kentucky can't be separated from us, even if he wanted to." Well, that wasn't entirely true. However, Kentucky being around was definitely much better than not. Rean just put it that way to see if Liana would give up.
Liana didn't believe it, of course. "That's just an excuse. What? Did you sign a Soul Binding Contract, saying that you must always be together? I highly doubt so."
Roan wasn't interested in that anymore, so he changed the topic. "I've been wanting to check this Pure Yin Body of yours. As you already know, I have Dark Element Affinity, so I can also manipulate Yin Energy a lot easier than others."
Sister Orb immediately intervened there. [Idiot. No one can be better than you in Yin Energy Manipulation. At most, they would be able to match your proficiency. I told you that already.]
'Shut up. I won't believe you that easily,' Roan said to Sister Orb. Of course, Liana couldn't hear any of that.
Liana could see that she wouldn't be able to acquire Kentucky now, so she decided to go with the flow. "That's easy to prove. The amount of Yin Energy one can gather in a given time can also be considered part of one's talent in this aspect. Let's just set a ten-second marker and start to gather Yin Energy. Both you and I are very sensitive to Yin Energy, so it's easy for us to tell who won." Liana had to admit she was curious as well. After all, it wasn't every day one would find a Dark Element Affinity cultivator.
Roan pondered in silence a bit and had to admit it was true. "Alright, let's do as you say."
Kentucky and Rean immediately paid attention to that. How could they not watch the show? Also, they wished Roan would lose just so that they could make fun of him.
Rean immediately appeared between them before raising his hand. "Good! Pay attention to my hand. Once I drop it, you shall start gathering Yin Energy!"
"Why should we follow your call?" Liana asked.
Rean smiled in response. "Oh, come on. Are you afraid that I'll give my brother an advantage? Don't worry, I hate him enough to do the exact opposite."
Liana was taken aback. Hate him? Now that she thought about it, those two didn't seem to have the best harmony between siblings out there. "Fine, we will do as you say."
Rean nodded in response as he prepared to give the signal. "Ready... go!"
Immediately, Roan and Liana began to gather the surrounding Yin Energy. The Demising Catacombs just so happened to be the perfect place as the concentration here was many times higher than a normal environment. There would be so much Yin Energy gathered by those two that it would be easy to decide who was the winner.
Roan and Liana noticed as the concentration of Yin Energy around their bodies increased at a very fast pace. Roan had to admit she was different from others. Until now, everyone he had seen couldn't compare to what she was doing, even the likes of Hedoi and company.
Liana was also shocked by the amount of Yin Energy heading in Roan's direction. Because both of them were very close to each other, they would obviously end up robbing the other of the Yin Energy in their surroundings. She could see that Roan was taking a lot of the Yin Energy from her, just like she did from him.
However, that balance didn't last long. Sister Orb wasn't joking when she said that Roan was the epitome of Dark Element and Yin Energy. Others at his level could never do better than him. At most, they could match his proficiency as long as both sides used the same methods.
"Time's up!"
*Gasp!*
Liana could finally breathe again. In the battle just now, she truly had to go all out to confront Roan that she didn't think about anything else. Unfortunately... "It-it's your victory."
Roan nodded, not trying to deny that fact. If the amount of Yin Energy Roan obtained was 100%, then Liana got around 90%. Both Roan and Liana could tell that.
[See? I told you.] Sister Orb reminded Roan.
'I'm still not 100% sure that it's the case, but it seems likely.' Roan wouldn't get ahead of himself, though.
Liana then sat on Kentucky's back with a sad expression. "I was planning to use this victory as an excuse to take Kentucky for myself. Seems like it didn't go well. No, worse than that, I can't believe someone below myself in cultivation can have higher Yin Energy Aptitude."
Roan shook his head, saying, "I also did everything I could just now. The fact you were just one-tenth behind me is proof of your abilities. You can still train to get as good as I am."
Rean was surprised to hear that, telling Liana, "Roan rarely compliments anyone, so it means a lot when the compliment comes from him. You should feel proud of yourself."
Liana bitterly smiled before deciding to change the topic.. Since she had already lost, there was no point in denying the truth. "Anyway, since you're dragging me together with you three, where are we going?"
