Chapter 235: Fortune lux

Bai Lung raised an eyebrow skeptically. "And how can I trust you?" he asked, his voice cutting like ice.

The system fairy winced at his sharp tone but she continued speaking.

[ I understand your skepticism, but the story I told you is the truth ]

she replied, her voice earnest.

[ I was an immortal fairy who survived two Qi Flow cycles, a practically impossible feat. But I was dying, losing my power and essence. That's where you came in... ]

Bai Lung gritted his teeth in frustration, but he remained silent, listening to her explanation.

[ You were the only way I could survive ]

the system fairy continued.

[ You had a powerful primordial origin and a strong soul, and I sensed that I could gain power if I could bind myself to you. I never wanted to deceive or harm you, but I needed a way to save myself ]

As he listened to the system fairy's explanation, Bai Lung's expression grew cold.
