The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

"Tick-tock-"

"Tick-tock-"

Drops of blood fell, hitting the water surface that was flashing with faint blue fluorescence rhythmically, and the dripping sound echoed back and forth in the silent and empty space.

Every drop of falling blood is like a gorgeous Lycoris radiata blooming in the water, layer after layer, paving the way for the owner of the blood to the afterlife in the underworld.

This kind of sound had been going on for who knows how long. Qiong was hung upside down in the air by his arms on a long vine. He lowered his head and closed his eyes. He seemed to feel that the time interval between the splashing blood seemed to be getting longer and longer.

"Are you not ready yet, Madam Bai?" The green curtain-like phantom light opened and Lucifer walked out.

He did not hide his impatience at all and questioned with a frown.

Tingting stood in front of the water, and a woman in a white satin evening dress turned around.

Mrs. Bai tilted her head and turned her white eyes to Lucifer. On her pale face, she forced a perfect smile and said, "Not yet, Lucifer. Don't be impatient. A perfect and powerful soul container is worth your patience, isn't it?"

"Heh." Lucifer sneered briefly. "Being able to be the temporary container of my soul is simply a blessing he has earned through several lifetimes. Such a lowly bastard, do you think he deserves my patience?"

Mrs. Bai said slowly: "But this bastard is deeply loved by your sister."

Lucifer said disapprovingly, "My rebellious, disobedient and foolish sister probably inherited her father's ignorance and blindness. She always likes weak and incompetent things. She has been reincarnated many times, but she has not been able to get rid of this vulgar taste."

The smile on Mrs. Bai's face disappeared. She turned her head and looked at the water in front of her that had no boundaries and no origin. She said calmly, "What can we do? Your sister just likes him. After knowing that the knights who followed her to the distant star would die there, she kept him behind."

"It's like leaving him the only chance of survival."

In mid-air, Qiong, whose consciousness was in a state of confusion, slowly opened his eyes.

Mrs. Bai continued, "Oh, by the way, you should know that your sister also gave him the Tears of Estrella that can protect the soul, right?"

Lucifer's nostrils twitched, and he said viciously, "That was all in the past."

"That's impossible, right?" Madam Bai unfolded the delicate ivory folding fan in her hand and said faintly, "In the illusion of Juedong's dream, your sister remembered what happened on the distant star. Do you think she blamed him?"

"Have you ever received such love?"

Lucifer's deep blue pupils suddenly shrank, and he shouted, "Shut up! Don't you know that the first thing she gave up was love? She doesn't love anyone at all!"

Mrs. Bai shook her head: "Just because she gave up her love doesn't mean she doesn't love anyone. You feel that way only because she doesn't love you."

Lucifer's facial muscles twitched, and his handsome face looked distorted and hideous.

Madam Bai chuckled and continued to stab him in the heart without caring: "Come to think of it, I always forgot to ask you, Kloface strictly ordered her not to go near the temple. What was your mindset that you had to take her through so many restrictions, so that she could get the Holy Blade and the Holy Seal Shield, awaken the six-winged angel armor, and help her break free from Kloface's control and grow wings?"

Mrs. Bai spoke in a gentle voice, as if she was very close to Lucifer, and said softly, "Could this be your rebellion against your father's cold-blooded dictatorship? In terms of rebelliousness, it seems that you and she are equally matched."

Lucifer's chest was beating like a bellows, and his eyes were burning with rage. But soon, he took a deep breath and sneered, "So what? At least I dared to resist him. He killed the man you loved silently for so many years, and you didn't do anything. Aren't you just being his dog?"

"It shows how cheap and useless love is."

Mrs. Bai's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. She turned away and didn't want to say another word to this idiot.

Lucifer thought he had won the battle. Although Mrs. Bai said things he didn't like to hear, he was magnanimous enough to not argue with her for the time being.

He fixed his gaze on Qiong's unfocused face again and said disdainfully, "I'll give you another day. Once the important matter is done, I want to see a clean, flawless soul container. You'd better not challenge my patience."

After saying this, Lucifer's figure disappeared in the bright green light.
