Chapter 163: meeting lilith ii

"How did you find out that I'm a class-1 bloodline bearer?" Alex asked in his mind. He didn't want to say it out.

"I can smell it. I am a succubus after all." She replied.

"But you are too weak for a class-1 bloodline bearer. You are still at the first level of the Blood Awakening Stage, and I am at the third level of the Blood Integration stage. I suppose you already know that I'm a class-2, but the difference between the two is enormous." She added.

Alex knew that at this moment, he was facing someone that might even be stronger than his master claimed to be.

He knew that he was helpless in such a situation so he decided to ask some questions.

"Why did you choose to stay in this plain realm?"

Lilith wasn't surprised that he dared to ask her questions, she had expected someone of his bloodline class to be filled with pride.

"Just like that bastard king that betrayed me, the people with your bloodline class do not fear those that bear a lower bloodline class, even when those people are stronger than you are." She sounded a little bit angry when she said this.

"What!! What gave her the impression that I'm not scared of her?" Alex thought. He had forgotten that she could read his mind.

"Eh? So you are scared of me" Lilith questioned.

"Kinda." Alex didn't want to admit it and he also didn't want to deny it.

"Can I ask you some questions?"

Lilith tilted her head a bit and then she nodded.

"Why did you choose to stay in this plain realm, even after everything that has happened, is there anything special about this realm that you can't get in another?" Alex pitched his first question.

"Asking me this question, do you not know about the rule that was set in the celestial realm?" Lilith wondered if Alex was trying to deceive her or stall for time. She stretched her consciousness far and wide to see if anyone was watching Alex from the shadows.

"For the member of a royal family as weak as you are, to come here without protection, either you ran away from home, abandoned, or you are just that dumb," Lilith concluded.

"I have never been to the celestial realm." He interjected.

"Abandoned then… to answer your question, there was a law that was set by the first Emperor of the celestial realm.

That law is that the people that have made it beyond the restraints of the lower realms must never fight there, but if you do have to fight, you must use the strength that is still within the constraints of that realm.

So people from the higher plain realms avoid coming to the lower ones because of this law. The Emperor placed a set of powerful and dangerous individuals to make sure that people follow this law. With this law in place, the lower plain realms are the perfect hiding spot for wanted people like me." Lilith explained.

"But I thought that, if a person from a higher plain realm stays in a lower one for a long time their cultivation will start to drop? Why are you still able to stay here for a long time and still able to raise your cultivation?" Alex wondered.

"Yes, they will experience their cultivation prowess dropping if they stayed for a long time. That is a major reason why wanted people like me will rather spend their whole life running away from their pursuers in the celestial plain realm, than for them to come down to a lower plain realm. No one will want to lose their cultivation."

Lilith confirmed for him that the reason Grace gave to him for not being able to stay in the lower plain realm, wasn't a lie.

"Then?" Alex pushed on, he wanted to know why she is able to stay here and still able to cultivate.

"I am an exception. A succubus can either cultivate the way you humans do, or we can feed on lust and the lifeforce of others. The stronger the person is, the greater the lifeforce."

"Hmmm, I understand. That woman that stopped you the time when you were about to leave the lower plain ream with Hassan and Hussein, is she Sheldon Shellie?"

Lilith frowned, her eyelids twitched after she heard Shellie's full name.

"You said that you have never been to the celestial plain realm, how do you know that b*tch's name?" Lilith's words sounded menacing to Alex, he could tell that Shellie's name was some kind of trigger for her.

Everyone else present in that place was looking at Alex and Lilith. They had been looking at their selves for a while without speaking, but from the facial expression that the two of them had been making, they could tell that Alex and Lilith were communicating in some type of way.

"I didn't lie about that, I have never been to the celestial plain realm. I only know of her name because I have read some of her books, and after all that I went through to get to this place, it was only her teachings that helped decipher the runes." Alex answered quickly. He was referring to the rune that he saw on the walls of the tomb before they found the treasures.

"Hmph, that fool wrote a book?" Lilith scoffed.

"She wrote several."

Lilith turned her head in a different direction and folded her arms over her chest like a child that was angry with something.

This act of hers looked too sensual for everyone there but Alex. He wasn't enchanted by her looks. Although she looked a lot more beautiful than Grace did, to Alex, Grace was harder to resist because of the aphrodisiac-like scent that she emanated.

When Lilith folded her arms, it pushed her breasts higher and made them look bigger than they already. Drake was already drooling.

"You look way too young for an old woman." Alex blurted out when he saw her fold her arms, he didn't say that in his mind. Immediately he sealed his lips when he remembered what Nana did to him the time he gave her a similar compliment.

"You do not look like you are smitten by my looks, meaning the primordial beast blood that is in you is not one that should be messed with. Tell me, what beast is that?" Lilith asked after she observed Alex's expression, since he came here he hasn't looked at her with desire or lust in his eyes, nor did he blush.

Lilith turned her head back and smiled at him, "Don't you have any more questions?" She spoke gently.

Her voice was electrifying the ears of the males present there, they felt like they were about to lose their minds as the desire to sire Lilith grew in their hearts, all of them except Alex. To him, it was soothing, but not to the point of him losing his mind.

Adrian, Drake, and Camron stood up and ran towards where Lilith was. She knew that they were going to do this so she quickly restrained them with her mind and they froze on the spot that they were on.

"I have two more, can I?" Alex ignored what he just saw.

"Go ahead." She permitted.

"How long has it been since the deaths of Hassan and Hussein?"

This question touched another sore spot in Lilith. Those brothers were the only ones that she opened up to since she experienced that betrayal.

"It's been 70,000 years." She answered.

"Meaning the war ended 70,000 years ago, why was it recorded that the war ended a million years ago?" He wondered.

"Thank that b*tch Shellie for that. She did it cover her tracks that she actually came to the lower plain realm and killed me, or so she thought. I hope that she is still very much alive, her and that bastard king… was that your last question?" Lilith sounded impatient now.

"No, this is my last question. What do you intend to do to us now that we are here?" Alex asked the question that has been on his mind since they arrived here.

"Previously, I was only going to take half the lifeforce of 3 people here before I leave for the celestial realm, however, that decision changed when I found out who you were. I will not touch the rest, but you, I will suck you dry.

How does it feel to be the savior of your friends?" A wicked grin crawled up her lips.

By instinct, Alex brought out one of the twin twilight swords and activated his fire bloodline.

-Fwhoosh!!

Lilith chuckled, "If I was still in the Blood Awakening Stage, perhaps I would have been frightened by these flames of yours. It looks like the flames of a phoenix, but doesn't feel like one."

-Whoosh!

Lilith appeared in front of Alex and grabbed him by his neck.

-Boom!

The next thing Alex knew, an excruciating pain assaulted his back. Lilith used him to break the high ceiling of the underground room. Now they were outside, floating high in the sky with Alex's neck in her grip.
