"Very well then. What seems to be the matter? What or who troubles you so much that you would risk coming to me for help."
Lin Xi proceeded to tell her about their plans to retrieve Xiao Luo from Ge Kai and how Ge Kai had obtained the dragon sword and was now able to create temporary space. Zhao Ling'er laughed at both of them. "I know now that you are all mad for sure. How can a succubus save an earthly cultivator? And why is it that you come to me with this and not your precious master?"
"State your terms Zhao Ling'er. I know you want something. Is it my power? My throne?" replied Lin Xi diplomatically.
"You flatter yourself Lin Xi. You aren't in any position to offer me anything. I am not interested in power." Squinting her eyes, she continued, "On a second thought. There is something that I want. I want him. I want to engage in dual cultivation with Zhang Jian."
