Chapter 74 - It's Okay To Be Not Okay But!
"You do know I am not the real Le Fang Ling, don't you?" Le Fang Ling reminded Lilith before she exited from the dimension.
"Oh, you are not my real daughter?" Lilith made an exaggerated expression of shock and surprise.
"You, you imposter!!" She covered her mouth with her palms in exasperation after shouting at her.
Le Fang Ling: "…."
"Stop it mom, you know it and I know it that you knew it way before I even said anything." Le Fang Ling shrugged her shoulder as she tried to make the lady stop her flawed acting.
Lilith stopped her action of trembling and straightened herself.
"Cough.." She cleared her throat as her eyes travelled slowly from her face to the blank space before her.
"You are good." She complimented le Fang Ling for her good eyes and for being able to see the truth despite her superb acting.
"…."
"Aren't you angry or something at me for taking over your daughter's body? Also, aren't you a bit worried about your own daughter?" Le fang ling bared her question in front of Lilith like a sharp naked sword.
"No, I am not." Lilith was chill about this matter much more than Le fang Ling herself.
"She is my daughter, she will be fine wherever she is." Lilith curled up her lips in a smug smile while her whole face lit up with a brightness and pride.
It was a weird expression but Le fang Ling knew she loved the real Le Fang ling much more than she understood.
Motherly love was something she was never going to understand as she was never raised by her own parents in her previous life, nor she had ever been a mother herself to know the emotional connection between a mother and a child.
And if possible, she would love to stay as far as possible from this.
"So, you don't have to worry about anything at all and just get stronger, live your life, have lovers and also…" Lilith leaned forward and closed their distance between them.
"Have some quality time with them." She made a kissy wissy noises as she winked at Le fang Ling who was burning, looking as bright red as tomato.
"I-I, co-ough, it was unnecessary." Le fang Ling blocked her flaming hot face with her palm. She was really surprised by how thick skinned and perverted she was.
"Innocent soul." Lilith giggled merrily when she saw the flustered expression on her face.
"But I have a question, Lilith-, I mean mom." She raised her eyes to meet the pair of turquoise eyes that were looking at her intently.
"Shoot it." Lilith slapped her hard on her back as a sign of permission.
"You can ask me anything that you want to ask." Lilith was offering herself as an open buffet dinner to le Fang ling.
Le Fang Ling who nearly jumped three step forward due to the monstrous strength of Lilith looked at Lilith's lewd expression and wondered…
'Just why is everything she says so lewd?'
"Heh.." Lilith gave a smug smile seeing the panic expression on her face.
"You…" Le fang Ling understood that she really was a monster; a lewd monster with chains all around her.
"Why did you let your daughter, umm, die? I mean, she was dead when I took over." Le fang Ling fiddled with her fingers anxiously as she asked this sensitive question to Lilith.
The smile in Lilith's eyes faded when she was faced with his question out of nowhere.
"Oh.." She stretched her lips in to a wide smile and looked at Le Fangling but the light in her eyes did not revive.
"See this chains…I am sealed in here." Lilith shook the heavy chains that hung on her skin.
"Although I did change these to look like some sort of accessory since I was bored to death but it doesn't change the fact that these are indeed powerful chains that not even I can break." Lilith bowed down her head and looked at her feet with a clear worried frown evident on her face.
"It was Le Zuan, that guy who sealed me." Lilith hissed in anger when she thought about the hateful guy. As if a response to her emotions, she started to glow in the purple aura, and this time the aura got denser and more sinister than before.
Le fang ling shivered lightly when the prickly sensation enveloped her.
"So, I could not help her when she was…" Lilith stopped midway and took in a deep breathe. She balled up her palm in to a tight fist and hit the top of the table she had made to host their tea party.
The table immediately crumpled down, turned to dust and disappeared in the void itself.
Le Fang Ling watched all these series of action happen with an apathetic face while she continuously rubbed herself to calm down her nerves that were sending her danger signals due to the sudden change in the surrounding.
She knew she was not going to hurt her, so she stood still and watched Lilith take out her suppressed anger.
"Damn it, now I am mad." Lilith gritted her teeth in anger and when she could not control it anymore, her whole body started to tremble uncontrollably.
The light completely faded away from her eyes within a fraction of seconds. It was replaced by a dark aura that seemed to be full of malice and evil.
'….'
Looking at those hollow eyes that seemed to be dragging her to the bottom of the sea itself, a cold shiver went down her spine.
This was as same as the way she had looked when she tried to scare away the Pei Fan and Qiqi who dared to badmouth about her.
That time she had no memory of what had happened to her for her to lose control like that but now that she was looking at furious Lilith, she could understand the mystery behind her.
'So, her power leaked out despite the seal and she took control over me?' Le Fang Ling was positive that this was the case 99%.
"Pei fan and Qiqi looked as pale as ghost when it happened…" Le Fang Ling knew she was not going to be hurt as long as she had the face of Le fang Ling but that did not mean she could not feel the terror of the power which Lilith wielded.
Her knees went limp and her nerves were crying out to her to run away from there, but there was no way she had the luxury or time to do that.
"Hey, hold on." Le Fang ling gulped down the nervousness and shouted at Lilith who was about to go berserk. She needed to come back to sense or she knew, she was going to run havoc in this dimension of her.
Lilith stopped on her steps and stared at Le Fang Ling.
*Gulp*
A thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead but she stood guard wherever she was.
Lilith tilted her head sideways as she took a look at the girl in front of her.
"I am not her real daughter, will it even work?" Le Fang Ling bit her lower lips and started to chew on it unconsciously as she stared back at the black hallowed out eyes.
"You are just an imposter." Lilith's cold and dry voice echoed inside the whole dimension.
"Hah.."
Le Fang Ling knew she could never beat the old fang ling.
"But like you said, I am not going to harm you." Lilith placed her hand on her chest and sighed. She was not the type to lose herself to anger so she was able to regain herself quickly back from the cursed state.
'Calm down Lilith..its okay to b not okay but now is not the time.'
It was useful when she was in a war or something like that but while dong a table talk, she knew she had to maintain her calm and appear composed.
"Alright, I am back." Lilith combed through her hair strands and exclaimed.
"…."
"You are really something different." Le fang Ling heave a sigh of relief.
"I know. I was built different." Lilith shrugged her shoulder.
"So, this Le Zuan guy had the audacity to do something like that to you and so.." Le fang ling paused midway when she remembered something important.
"Hey, Mom." She glared at her as if in a deep thought.
"Hmm?"
"Does he know that you are here?" Le fang ling recalled the guy telling something about hiding something form him while she was in the memoryscape.
"He doesn't know and that is why he wanted to bring back my daughter, tsk.. that loser." Lilith crossed her arms in front of her chest and gave a slight pout.
"As for you little girl," Lilith raised her hand and a scroll came flying towards her from out of nowhere within the void.
"Take this." She threw it to Le Fang Ling who caught it abruptly as if it was a hit potato.
Le fang Ling widened her eyes in surprise looking at the rolled up scroll on her hand. She turned back her attention to Lilith, expecting her to explain her what this was about.
"That is my gift for you." Lilith pursed her lips in a straight line and motioned with her head for her to take good care of it.
"My strength can only work inside here as of now, so.." Lilith showed a defeated expression but quickly she regained her spirit.
"So, remember what I said." Lilith pointed her index finger at Le fang ling while placing her other hands on her hip to create a sense of superiority in front of Le Fang Ling.
"You need to follow what it says as it contains the secret arts that might help you with your cultivation." Lilith explained.
"And yes, remember, do not let the other people know about this." She warned her before sending Led fang ling back to reality.
The last thing Le fang Ling saw was the bright twinkle in her eyes.
.
"So this is what happened.." Le fang Ling showed the scroll she had gotten from Lilith after she explained everything to Nagina.
