Atop the roof, Luoyin and Yinying had just witnessed Weiyan turn Qin Yuelian into a complete waste, burning away her cultivation!
Yinying drew a concerned breath and placed a hand on Luoyin's shoulder. "Xiaobai... You must take extreme care to never offend the Lady in the future!!"
"Umh, umh!" Luoyin nodded in agreement!
Down below, Qin Yuelian finally struggled to her knees, staring at her hands which couldn't muster even a single shred of energy.
She was clearly still a divine lotus, but one with no power at all, and with a lifespan of a few more decades at most!
Wasn't she worse than a mortal in this state?!
'No...! No! It's not possible!'
She tried and tried again to channel energy, but there was simply nothing!
All her cultivation and strength gathered over a Millennia...
All of it was gone?!
"I won't accept it!" Qin Yuelian choked, spraying a splatter of blood onto her hands. "You lowly... mortal bxxch...!!" She rasped. "How dare you...! How dare you harm me?! I'm a Millennia old Divine Lotus...!! Floral Deity of the Heavens! How dare you...??!!"
"You keep mentioning that word 'Millennia'." Weiyan spoke, looking down at the rasping Qin Yuelian.
"Then let me ask you. After a Millennia of existence, who cares about you now?"
The question hung in the air as Qin Yuelian's eyes widened even more.
Weiyan sighed.
"You neither cared about blood ties nor connections of the heart. You tried to kill your own grandniece, and would have succeeded if she wasn't more powerful and evil than you were... And then you killed your own sister.
"Now you've lost all the strength you had, and all of Sky Realm knows you've gotten your hands so dirty... Even the Floral realm must have learned how you slayed thousands of flowers every year, and all this would be revealed across the Mortal Realm as well...
"So I'm asking again... Who cares about you now?
"Who would chase after me to avenge you? Who would even come to claim you if you died here? Zhurong Fen? Hmph. Be thankful if she doesn't *hurry you on your way...
(*kill you)
"Clearly there's nothing to show for your millennia of existence!" Her words landed in the heavy silence, ringing like a death bell in Qin Yuelian's ears.
Weiyan swivelled, intending to walk away, but one simple step sent a sudden current through her body, seizing up all her muscles.
The gold phoenix appearance shattered as her aura seeped away, pouring out of her like a sieve.
'Oh no! I forgot... This body is too weak for such power...!' Weiyan realized as she fell backwards, prepared to hit the ground.
But she fell into a pair of familiar arms, and an incredibly warm feeling settled in her heart.
"A-Yin!" She said as Luoyin dipped, smoothly lifting her into his arms and instantly transfering his qi to stabilize hers.
Luoyin turned to glare down at Qin Yuelian. "Don't be an eyesore here! Roll!"
With a stomp of his feet, he indeed sent Qin Yuelian rolling far from them and out of sight!
"A-Yin, it's really you!" Weiyan's hands automatically went around his neck, her eyes welling with tears.
