That young little girl now looked like a fifteen-year-old lady, and she was starting to catch up to Qianye in height. From her external appearance, no one could tell that this slender young girl possessed such explosive power within.

Her eyes were clear, bright, and contained a hint of cunning, a stark difference from her usual confused state.

Youve grown up. Qianye felt emotional. She was but an egg back when he found her in a counts lair. Qianye and Song Zining were only young geniuses back thenall the major characters had to say about them was that their potential wasnt bad.

How time had flown! This little girl had already grown up. Qianye, Song Zining, and their brothers from back in the year had all become awe-inspiring experts.

Little Zhuji said with a smile, I grow fast, but Im still very young.

Qianye was astonished. How did you become so smart?

The girl replied, I dont know. One day, I stopped being so hungry, almost as though I had woken up from a long sleep. Then, I understood everything.

That alright Qianye didnt know what to say.

Arachne talents were truly enviable. This little lass had done little besides eating and sleeping since she was born. When she fought, she did so out of instinct, and her innate talents decided her cultivation. She had m.a.t.u.r.ed even faster than Qianye, shaming all of the geniuses from either faction.

This little fellow had actually become an extremely beautiful lady, but Qianyes impression of her was stuck in that period where she was latching onto him.

How come youre here?

The lass didnt reply. Instead, she gestured with her eyes, saying, Arent you going? Theyre going to start fighting soon.

Qianye turned around and saw Caroline glaring at Nighteye, arcs of lightning flickering on her whip. She was clearly preparing for a fight.

Nighteye looked rather puzzled, but she wasnt one to think twice about retaliating against challengers.

Qianye hurriedly stepped in between them. Whats going on?

Caroline contained her killing intent. Shes Nighteye, right? The one who almost killed you in the last battle?

Nighteye replied calmly, Outsiders dont need to interfere with our couples spat.

Carolines expression was ashen. How can a spat go so far?! The word on the streets is that hes dead! If it wasnt for the information from the Martyrs Palace, I I wouldnt even know if hes alive!

Nighteye shot her a smiling glance. What? Were you planning on avenging him?

That was the plan if he really did die. Ill kill that person whoever she is! Caroline admitted honestly.

Smelling the tension in the air, Qianye wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere.

However, Nighteye placed one hand on his shoulder and covered his mouth with the other. I dont mean to say no one can meddle in our affairs, but itll be better if youre a hundred and eighty years younger.

Bang! Lightning erupted on Carolines whip, blasting a small hole in the ground. Her c.h.e.s.t heaved rapidly as arcs of electricity crawled all over her body. Clearly, she was beyond furious. She mightve lashed at Nighteye if she werent standing so close to Qianye.

This Dark Gospel was peeking in this direction at first, but he unexpectedly turned away the moment he met Qianyes gaze and began shouting commands at the vampire civilian airsh.i.p.s.

The acting was beyond fake.

Qianye cursed at the old man for lack of camaraderie, but he couldnt do anything about it.

On the other side, Caroline seemed to have thought things through. Her killing intent receded as she said with a smile, Speaking of age, I wonder how an awakeners age is calculated. I think theres a commonly accepted formula for this.

Nighteyes smile froze stiff for a moment.

Off in the distance, Howard turned away once more. He was simply watching the vampire airsh.i.p.s this time, and his aura was so well contained that he felt more like an ordinary vampire elder.

Nighteyes loosened her grip on Qianyes mouth. She said nonchalantly while squishing his face, This fellow might be dumb, but you might be a bit lacking to be able to avenge him. To be frank, anyone below the grand duke rank will be throwing their lives away.

Caroline said, Even if I cant, I still have my brother. Our Thunderfrost Temple isnt easy to push around in the neutral lands.

Neutral lands is it? I think Ive heard of the Throne of Blood. I might just head over when Im free and remove all those shrines and temples.

Nighteye patted Qianyes face, saying, Look, I think I need to go to the neutral lands.

Qianye couldnt remain silent anymore. Shes one of ours, theres no need to go that far.

One of yours? Nighteye laughed coldly.

Qianye pulled Nighteye back and said to Caroline, I tricked her in that battle, thats how she ended up injuring me. Im fine right now, see?

Carolines expression darkened. Looks like the rumors are true, you really did want to die. Fine, I understand.

She put away her Thunderous Whip and walked into the Martyrs Palace, unwilling to reveal herself any longer.

Qianye sighed.

Go after her. Nighteye prodded.

Qianye shook his head. Let it be, Ill find some time to explain. Shes not a bad person.

From her tone, Qianye knew that this problem was over. As slow as he was in the romance department, he knew he couldnt go after Caroline at this juncture.

After all the vampires had boarded the airship, the Martyrs Palace slowly rose into the air, leaping into the void as it flew toward Dawn Continent.

At the Martyrs Palace, Qianye was seated in front of the window, gazing at the scenery outside. Nighteye sat beside him with Howard and Zhuji across from them.

Zhujis bright sparkling eyes remained fixed upon Nighteye all the while.

Toward the end, Qainey could no longer ignore her dazzling gaze. Whats the matter?

Little Zhuji propped up her cheek with her palms. I was thinking that theyre right.

About what?

They say the stepmother is always better looking.

The atmosphere in the Martyrs Palace immediately reached subzero temperatures.

Nighteye turned toward Qianye with a spurious smile. That means she has a birth mother?

Qianye felt nervous as he looked at her raised brows. Dont listen to her! She just grew up and doesnt know much!

Of course I know! I remember everything you guys said since I broke through the eggshell! Little Zhuji stabbed him again.

Nighteye tilted her head. Then whos your birth mother? Is it that woman from just now?

Little Zhuji blinked innocently. Of course not. Im talking about Mommy Zining. He doesnt look as good as you.

Qianye heaved a sigh of relief, his forehead drenched in sweat. He glared furiously at Little Zhuji, puzzled as to whether she was doing this intentionally or otherwise.

Nighteye stared at Qianye and said coldly, The weathers not hot at all. Why are you sweating if not for a sense of guilt?

Well its not exactly cool, either, Qianye said vaguely.

Howards expression was rather odd, almost as though he would break out in laughter at the next moment. Fortunately, he remembered his identity and managed to maintain his image as a primogenitor.

Qianye said to Zhuji with a stern face, Where did you learn all this nonsense? We were the ones who brought you to the neutral lands, dont you remember?

Of course I remember, but that was Aunty Nighteye!

Isnt she the same person?

She has awakened and no longer the same.

Qianye didnt know what to say. Who taught you these things?

Aunty Nighteyes identity? I just knew after I woke up.

Qianye had no way to deal with her or her special inheritance.

According to Evernight customs, an awakener would possess an awakened status. For instance, Nighteye became a member of the Monroe clan after awakening as a primo. After her second awakening, she was treated with the same ceremony as a dark monarch.

Who taught you the first part? Who are they? Qianye was shrouded in killing intent, prepared to take it out on the little fella.

Zhuji pointed downward, saying, The crew. Whatever they say on the airship I know.

Qianye was stunnedthe little lass perception couldnt have reached this stage no matter how powerful it was. He immediately found an answer after connecting with the Earth Dragon. You can communicate with the Earth Dragon?

Zhuji nodded. Its really slow, though. I need to talk to him for half a day before he gives me a reply.

The Martyrs Palace began to tremble constantly at this point. This was abnormal because this airship used to be a void colossus, and traveling through the void was second nature to it. There was no way it would be unstable.

Qianye looked out the window and saw the entire area shrouded in resplendent light. It almost felt like they were in fantasy land.

The appearance of such radiance in the void space between continents usually meant great danger. Even the Martyrs Palace would suffer constant impact while passing through; ordinary airsh.i.p.s wouldnt last for long.

Nighteye looked serious. This is the rainbow belt that separates the upper and middle continents. How come its here?

Howard said, Correct. I found the hidden flight path after noticing the abnormality in the rainbow belt, which led me to the place on Dawn Continent.

Qianye merged his consciousness with the Earth Dragon and began steering the massive airship through the prismatic light.
