Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 477: Chapter 225 Old Friend

In the dimly lit room, Little Mad King, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, silently stood by the bedside, leaning over to look at Li Yelai on the bed.

The tight-fitting attire cleverly outlined her perfect body curves, full chest, slim waist, and tight, round buttocks, while her long legs were especially charming. Even in the dimly lit room, her allure was hardly concealable. Perhaps, the slight haze even amplified her charm.

Having just woken from sleep, Li Yelai thought he was still muddled.

He thought to himself, surely the believer who wanted to advance wouldn’t have the audacity, after the Divine Chosen had issued an order, to send a woman to his room? Wasn’t he afraid that Li Yelai would kill her?

Could he still be dreaming? No, that couldn’t be right. He was now a Blood River Chosen One, could it be that this Chaos God wanted to corrupt him through seductive dreams? Stealing from the corner of Blood River?

It wasn’t until he heard Little Mad King’s cold voice that Li Yelai fully awakened.

The visitor was indeed Little Mad King!

She had actually... followed him? And even sneaked into his room?

This shocked Li Yelai immensely, Little Mad King’s stealth skills were unbelievably impressive, weren’t they?

Although this was merely a temporary base for the sub-branch of Ember Church, there were many Spiritual Ability Users and believers patrolling nearby, not to mention there were two Sixth Sense Blood River Chosen Ones inside the base. She had sneaked in just like that?

Li Yelai remembered there were several believers guarding the entrance.

”You followed me here? That’s too risky! There are two Divine Chosen here!” whispered Li Yelai with a lowered voice.

Little Mad King looked down at Li Yelai, her gaze containing a trace of inquiry.

She hadn’t lied. She indeed had searched for Li Yelai for a long time.

The two had split up in Silver Mountain City, Little Mad King assassinated a Four-Winged Angel, creating an opportunity for Li Yelai to attempt an assassination on Mei Wu.

Afterward, when the meteor fell, the two couldn’t meet and each fled from Silver Mountain City.

Later, as Li Yelai escaped to the Shattered Mountain Range, he was pursued and blocked by angels.

Little Mad King and two other groups intercepted the support teams of Four-Winged Angels from different locations but couldn’t meet up with Li Yelai.

Then, as Li Yelai fled to the edge of the Forbidden Zone, Little Mad King repeatedly took action to brush off his pursuers and disrupted the Forbidden Zone’s tracking, allowing him to successfully get close to the Extreme Cold Mountain Range.

But even so, they didn’t meet up.

Finally, when Li Yelai was being chased by an angel from the Golden Family, it was Little Mad King who intervened, killing that Four-Winged Angel from the Golden Family and some elites.

This allowed Li Yelai to escape into the caves in Great Snow Mountain.

Due to the massive avalanche and the cave collapsing, she completely lost track of Li Yelai’s whereabouts. After clearing up the surviving angels from the avalanche, she escaped the Forbidden Zone and stayed outside its boundaries, waiting for Li Yelai.

She believed that as her teammate, Li Yelai wouldn’t die easily.

However, before Li Yelai showed up, the orders and intelligence from Giant City headquarters had arrived first.

Li Yelai had become a Chaos Chosen and had infiltrated Ember Church.

In that instant, even the typically indifferent Little Mad King was stunned.

Had he become a Chaos Chosen? Wasn’t that a sign of being corrupted?

Then why was he still able to send back the Compass and information to headquarters?

Or could it be that this already-corrupted Li Yelai was plotting some covert scheme against the officials?

However...

Holding onto her doubts, Little Mad King used the Path-finding Compass to locate the Nether River Horn in Li Yelai’s possession and confirmed his position before speeding her way towards him.

In this abandoned city, she discovered the Ember Church’s team.

It took her about fifteen minutes to confirm the combat deployments within this base, and without any rest, she directly sneaked into the room where Li Yelai was.

Now looking at Li Yelai as he sat up in bed, ”You really became a Divine Chosen?”

Li Yelai nodded, keeping his voice very low as he responded, ”Although it’s unbelievable, I indeed became that damned Divine Chosen and received His blessing and name, but I haven’t been corrupted. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have sent the Life Material and information back to Giant City.”

Little Mad King paused; she had also received this intelligence. This was also why she was unwilling to believe her teammate could betray humanity.

For humanity, the title of Chaos Chosen was too abominable.

”So, you haven’t been corrupted, yet received the Chaos God’s blessing? That means...”

”Yes, I exploited Him!” Li Yelai revealed a smile, helping Little Mad King say the words, ”If there’s a chance, I need to exploit a few more.”

She gazed at Li Yelai for a long time before responding, ”Teammate, I know you are very special and that you have a powerful mysterious backing as well. But if you ever get corrupted, I will deliver you... remember that.”

Her previously tense blade-hand gradually relaxed.

”I know,” nodded Li Yelai slightly. If a teammate became corrupted and twisted, the best thing to do would be to relieve him and attend his funeral.

Little Mad King’s words seemed like a threat, but actually, she had come to believe in him.

Then, Li Yelai asked, ”How did you end up here? The ones at the door...”

”This base is quite rudimentary, lacking extensive defense measures, and no one can detect me. As long as I don’t attempt to assassinate the two Divine Chosen, I can silently take out everyone,” Little Mad King looked at Li Yelai, ”including you, this Divine Chosen.”

Li Yelai nodded. That was indeed the honest truth.

If she hadn’t intentionally shown herself, not only Li Yelai, but even other members of the Church wouldn’t have noticed her.

No wonder people say if she were to become the Supreme or the King, even the King of the Restricted Zone would have to be wary.
