Death… And Me

Chapter 3191: Just As Numerous



Rean received the list of items through their soul connection, but he didn't pay attention to it. He didn't need to go out straight away. Instead, he still had many questions for Foliana. "Alright, this topic is settled. I will work on your special Echo Location later, Rifindio."

Rean returned his attention to Foliana on the CD. "Say, little girl, how's Tony?"

-He is still here with me,- Foliana answered.

Right after, another voice came through the CD, a very recognizable one. -Yo! Finally, you remembered I existed.-

Rean smiled. "I'm actually quite impressed you didn't throw a tantrum. Foliana is now at the Peak of the Transition Realm. Is that true? I thought you and Foliana hated cultivation more than anything else. How come she got to that level so fast?"

Foliana's expression changed, knowing exactly what was going to happen.

Sure enough, Tony's voice echoed. -RIGHT? RIGHT?! Listen, Rean! Do you have any idea how much I have suffered these years? This chick only cares about cultivation now! Our trips outside are almost nonexistent. She completely changed and became another one of those boring old cultivation geezers! I'm dying here! Rescue me!-

Rean was speechless. "Err... what?"

-Sigh...- Foliana felt just as helpless. -I told you a hundred thousand times! We had no choice! We needed to look like we were following the orders of the Inquisition Hall, idiot! If they noticed that I was not under their control, both you and I were done for! What did you want me to do? Run away? We would be both dead by now!-

Tony didn't stop, though. -But you didn't need to make our lives this boring! Why not use your influence now and do what you want? No one will stop you anymore!-n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

-Like hell they wouldn't! - Foliana continued. -I've been watched by the Inquisition Hall every second since we were captured. Only recently I got enough leverage that I got to stay out of their eyes, and that's because I completed their missions until now without complaining. Because of my bloodline, they knew my cultivation would be very fast, so they demanded I stay put and cultivate nonstop! You know that! Besides, haven't we gone out quite a bit since I reached the Peak Stage of the Transition Realm? You have been having a blast in the past seven years.-

Foliana and Tony went back and forth, giving Rean a headache. Suddenly, Foliana and Tony's voices echoed in the CD at the same time, directed at a certain someone -It's his fault! Rifindio was the one who captured us and put us in this predicament!-

Rifindio scratched the back of his head. What did they want him to do? He was working for the Supreme Palace... even if that was more like a mission to get rid of him than anything else. He wanted to complete it as fast as possible and return to the Divine Realm. "I'm... sorry?"

"Ahem..." Rean intervened. "It is good to see that you are doing well, Tony."

-Well your ass! I'm suffering! Sure, I finally have some freedom, but it is still nothing compared to before Rifindio found us.-

"You will have plenty of time to explore the Divine Realm with Foliana." Rean tried to calm him down. "Besides, you don't really want to leave her side, do you?"

-Hmph! She is lucky that I'm a very understanding Artifact Spirit,- Tony said without shame.

As for Foliana, she was the one who wanted to get rid of Tony. -If that's what understanding looks like, I don't want to see what isn't.-

"Alright, enough!" Rean turned serious. "So, Tony is fine at the moment, and the Inquisition Hall doesn't seem like to know about him. That's what matters. Now, Foliana, I have other questions for you."

"Rean," Kentucky jumped in front of the call. "Ask her about the formations."

"That's what I intended," Rean agreed.

Rean then spoke about what they had heard from Karev-the hundreds of huge formations, the weird flow of Spatial Power, the Spatial Rifts appearing over the world...

Foliana narrowed her eyes. -So you are already aware of those things...-

*Dun!*

Suddenly, Rean's CD received another call. It was Karev, who asked Rean to give him an hour so he could check the information from the other planets in the Solar System. Rean pondered a bit, and decided to join the three calls together so Foliana and Karev could see each other as well.

-What?! Red Calamity!- Karev almost jumped when he saw Foliana's face. How could he have not heard of her? During his time hiding and running from the Inquisition Hall, he was pursued by her once and almost died.

"Don't turn off, Karev," Rean reassured him. "She is on our side."

-Are you crazy?! - Karev wanted to disconnect straight away. -She almost killed me! Wait, she now has my number! I need to move!-

"As I said, you don't need to worry. Stop bitching out." Rean continued. "Foliana was pursuing you because she had to keep her appearances. From start to finish, she had always been by my side. She is not being controlled by the Inquisition Hall."

-Do you truly believe that?- Karev had his suspicions.

-I remember you,- Foliana joined the conversation. -You didn't die because I let you go on purpose. I knew you were involved with Rean, so I gave you a silver lining.- Following that, Foliana spoke of the day she pursued Karev and then pointed out how she managed to let him escape.

Karev heard all that, and although he was suspicious at first, he ended up without any other choice than to believe. -So that's why that tunnel didn't collapse on my head! I always thought it weird that you didn't bring the whole thing down back then.-

-Now you know. - Foliana ended her explanation there.

Rean was satisfied this issue was resolved fast and went straight to the main topic. "Karev, what are the results? Are there similar formations on the other planets of our Solar System?"

Karev quickly shared a bunch of data, which also included many pictures and videos of formations similar to the ones he mentioned before. -There are, and they are just as

numerous.-
