Chapter 804: Chapter 504: Teleportation

"Do you still not want them to come out?"

The prison was eerily silent, with a clear, pleasing female voice echoing quietly along with the gentle humming of a pendant.

O’Reilly looked at Xu Yuan, her blue eyes shimmering, brightening and dimming.

Xu Yuan also looked at O’Reilly but made no move.

In the silent confrontation,

O’Reilly exhaled softly and said with a serene smile,

"So, your purpose is indeed not just about Xi’en’s intelligence."

A balance scale floating in front of him blocked Xu Yuan’s view, allowing him only to see her smiling red lips:

"You seem to have anticipated this."

"In a desperate situation, one must consider all possibilities."

"Then why would you still do as I wished?"

"Um..."

Hearing this question, O’Reilly suddenly fell silent, and then smiled again, "Because I didn’t expect your goal to be the Boundary Void Stone pendant granted by the Emperor."

"Hmm."

With a hum of laughter, Xu Yuan’s eyes curved, "Now that you know, have you got anything to say?"

O’Reilly tilted her head, pondering for a moment, lightly tapped her cheek with her fingertip and said,

"People truly are insatiably greedy creatures."

"..."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

O’Reilly continued with a smile:

"Don’t you think?

"In pursuit of fame, ideals, love, and other desires, each person acts like a hysterical gambler. Those who lose want to turn the tables and win back, while those who win desire even more.

"Just like you now. You could have easily, with low or even no risk, extracted returns from me, but greed makes you want more, and for it, you’ve had to bet more.

"Even your life."

At these words, Xu Yuan laughed, unable to help himself:

"Do you think I would die?"

"It’s possible," O’Reilly answered seriously.

"It seems you have great confidence in the strength of the person about to teleport here." Xu Yuan glanced at the continuously buzzing Spatial Magic Ring Pendant in his arms.

"He is the most powerful in Xi’en," O’Reilly replied nonchalantly, but her eyes carried a subtle wariness, "Oh no, he should no longer be considered human."

Sighing lightly, Xu Yuan shook his head:

"O’Reilly, in Dayan, there is only a fine line between confidence and arrogance."

"No, I know the Prime Minister’s Mansion might indeed be able to defeat him, but that gives me more options."

O’Reilly glanced around and answered quite bluntly, "I’m well aware it’s hard to escape Black Prison by my own power, and even if I managed to, the cage of Dayan awaits outside. So, I should thank you for this opportunity."

"A very self-aware judgment," Xu Yuan commented with a smile.

"Though it sounds sarcastic, I’ll take it as a compliment."

O’Reilly smiled charmingly, her slender index finger gently swaying in Xu Yuan’s direction, "But are you sure you don’t want to move a bit? If you don’t, you’ll be torn apart by the spatial forces."

The trembling of the Spatial Magic Ring Pendant continuously amplified. During these few moments of conversation, it had become somewhat piercing.

Xu Yuan lowered his gaze and smiled slightly,

"Wasn’t I just wanting to exchange a few more words with you?"

O’Reilly clicked her tongue twice, arms crossed, and laughed,

"Do you regret it?"

Xu Yuan shrugged,

"Of course not. Just a bit of regret that a person like you was born in Dayan. I could have considered taking you in, be it as a concubine or top aide. Your abilities are certainly enough."

The corners of O’Reilly’s lips curved into a sneer,

"If you were born in Xi’en, I might consider taking you as a toy."

"Just a toy?" Xu Yuan said, somewhat dissatisfied.

"I look down on people like you."

"You just said I was the same kind of person as you..."

"I also look down on myself."

O’Reilly waved her arm across her chest and tilted her gaze, "Compared to people like us, I prefer pure ones like Xiulun, it’s just a pity he’s too weak."

Hearing her implication, Xu Yuan fell silent for an instant and scoffed,

"You wouldn’t mistake Changge for a lifetime, would you?"

"Would you mistake a woman for a lifetime?"

"...."

Suddenly silent, Xu Yuan’s eyes narrowed, staring at O’Reilly without speaking.

Facing his scrutinizing gaze, O’Reilly smiled with curved eyes:

"Why suddenly speechless?"

Xu Yuan released a gentle breath,

"I suddenly understand why you would dislike yourself."

O’Reilly’s eyes gleamed with playful mockery:

"Is this an irritation from having your feelings exposed?"

"The person being teleported here, it’s your father, isn’t it?" Xu Yuan shook his head, ignoring her.

"I can answer that, indeed it is my father."

"The Emperor of the Xi’en Empire..."

Xu Yuan furrowed his brows slightly, a thoughtful gleam flickering in his eyes as he raised his hand to point at the person’s graceful figure, barely draped in cloth, and asked,

"Since he’s your father, why not take the opportunity to put on some clothes now?"

O’Reilly was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting such a comment under these circumstances, and let out a laugh, waving her hand:

"Pfft... He won’t mind."

"He won’t mind?" Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

O’Reilly twirled a strand of her soft, golden hair with her slender index finger, glancing sideways at the floor:

"Well... I suppose you could say that my mother, strictly speaking, could also be considered my sister."

"....."

Xu Yuan’s brain froze momentarily, and after regaining his composure, he rubbed his temple:

"You Xi’en really lack a sense of shame.

"And,

"It’s quite remarkable that you turned out to be so beautiful."

O’Reilly looked slightly puzzled, failing to grasp his last remark:

"What do you mean?"

"....."

Xu Yuan shook his head, indicating he didn’t intend to continue the conversation, and reached into his chest to pull out a pendant, casually throwing it aside before turning to walk towards the prison door.

O’Reilly was a smart and dangerous woman. Without clear information, he could very well escape using the Boundary Void Stone pendant the same way he had once shattered the Kunwu Mirror.

Yet now, that possibility had vanished.

Though the Formation Patterns etched on the Boundary Void Stone might differ from those of Dayan, the Transmission Formation had already been activated to such an extent that it couldn’t possibly be canceled.

Thinking this, Xu Yuan’s steps suddenly faltered.

"What’s wrong?"

A chuckling voice came from behind. O’Reilly’s bare, delicate feet made no sound as they touched the ground:

"Aren’t you leaving now, or do you wish to personally meet the Emperor of the Xi’en Empire?"

"....."

His feet suspended in midair, unable to move the slightest bit, Xu Yuan felt the approach of the person behind him, her gentle touch resting on his shoulder, yet his downturned eyes showed not panic but a sense of resignation.

That relic known as the Scales of Justice was clearly not just a simple lie detector.

O’Reilly wrapped her arms around Xu Yuan’s neck from behind, standing on her toes and whispering by his ear:

"In order to make it back alive, I need more assurances, so please..."

Before she could finish, Xu Yuan’s figure suddenly vanished from O’Reilly’s sight, but the disappearance didn’t even last a moment, and he reappeared on the spot.

It was as if his disappearance had been merely an illusion.

Reappearing, Xu Yuan didn’t turn around or speak further. He just reached out to unwrap O’Reilly’s hands from him and continued walking toward the door.

"Tap..."

"Tap..."

"Tap..."

Listening to the footsteps fading away, O’Reilly stood still, her expression showing neither surprise nor anticipation, only a trace of regret.

Like the Magic Restriction Art of the Dayan Empire, the Scales of Justice also, apparently, couldn’t control the flow of Origin Qi within the People of Yan.

Yet Xu Yuan’s method of Teleportation was somewhat odd...

Logically, even if he teleported away using a Spatial Magic Ring, the effect of the Scales of Justice should not be interrupted.

If not a Spatial Magic Ring, then what was it?

"Hum——"

Her thoughts were interrupted by a strong buzzing sound. A fierce gust swept up from behind, and the Boundary Void Stone pendant on the ground suddenly rose into the air.

At the center of the pendant, vortex-shaped ripples gradually solidified within the cell, and dazzling orbs of black, white, and purple merged into one, finally forming a glowing, black-hole-like ring.

O’Reilly turned slowly, her head bowed, and knelt in front of the ring.

In the silence, a boot, as solid as iron yet as delicate as cloth, stepped out from the ring, and a figure enveloped in a robe stepped forward leisurely.

With the arrival of the figure, the cell was as if instantly cleansed of all filth, a holy light scattering in every corner.

The face was hidden beneath a cowl, strands of golden hair floating out, and as the figure moved, it seemed surrounded by stars, numerous intricate patterns flickering faintly around.

He looked at the kneeling princess, his voice clear and calm:

"This is your first failure, O’Reilly."

O’Reilly knelt on the ground without raising her head, softly replying:

"This is the prison of the Prime Minister’s Mansion in the Dayan Empire. We need to leave quickly, Emperor."

"...."

After a moment of silence, the Emperor didn’t affirmatively respond, but softly said:

"I know why you failed."

"...."

O’Reilly instinctively raised her eyes to look at her "father."

Then,

behind "her father" in a corner of the prison, she saw a man.

That corner seemed a forbidden zone where light could not penetrate.

And the man appeared to have been standing there all along.

One could barely make out his snow-white attire, his upper body hidden in the shadows, only his calm eyes shining with a cold light in the dark.

He was watching them.

Oh no.

He was only watching Him.
