Black Rose released her grip and began to slowly circle around Violet, as if assessing a product.
Her gaze scanned Violet up and down, not missing any details.
"Little maid, is this the candidate you brought?"
There was a hint of teasing in Black Rose's voice,
"With those thin arms and legs, do you think she can handle the Disaster Beast fusion surgery?"
She stopped and squinted her eyes, carefully examining Violet's face.
Suddenly, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"And if I'm not mistaken, isn't this the good friend of that Phoenix Fairy's vessel?"
Black Rose's tone took on a playful edge, "You brought her over from Manju Academy, aren't you afraid they'll come looking for trouble with you?"
Faced with Black Rose's words, Shiro's expression remained indifferent.
Her eyes were as calm as water, as if everything Black Rose said had nothing to do with her.
After a few seconds, Shiro slowly spoke:
"Since you are unwilling to use Hiyakura, then we will have to use her."
Shiro's voice had no fluctuations, "She is the most outstanding extraordinary of this year from Manju Academy, absolutely meeting your criteria."
After hearing this, Black Rose's smile became even more radiant.
She elegantly turned to face Shiro, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Whether she meets the criteria or not, we'll have to try it out."
There was an expectation in Black Rose's voice.
After speaking, Black Rose gently clapped her hands, the sound crisp and pleasant.
"Come here,"
she said aloud, "Take this elegant, purple lady down and treat her well."
With Black Rose's command, the apostles of the Church moved immediately into action.
Among them, two apostles stepped forward quickly, lifting Violet up from left and right.
Despite Violet's desperate struggles,
Her resistance seemed insignificant against these trained apostles.
The apostles roughly dragged Violet away, her feet leaving two marks on the ground, her sobs gradually fading away.
The other apostles silently watched everything, their faces showing no expression, as if this was just a routine matter.
Shiro watched Violet being taken away, her expression still calm and indifferent.
She turned her head and asked Black Rose:
"What kind of Disaster Beast do you plan to choose for your experiment?"
Upon hearing this question, a glimmer of cunning shone in Black Rose's eyes.
She gently shook her head, a mysterious smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
"Don't worry, I already have an appropriate target in mind."
Black Rose's voice was filled with confidence, "Rest assured, little maid, the Disaster Beast I've selected is at least at the level of a fairy's kin."
Hearing the term "fairy kin," Shiro's brows furrowed slightly, revealing a rare fluctuation of emotion.
"Fairy kin?"
There was a hint of confusion in Shiro's voice,
"That Abyss Dragon? Or have you found another clue?"
As Black Rose heard Shiro's question, she gently nodded, a proud light flashing in her eyes.
"Of course."
Black Rose's voice was low and seductive,
"I received intel. The people from Manju Academy discovered an underground river that emitted a very strong wave of fairy power."
"And the target I have chosen is related to that place."
After listening, Shiro's frown deepened.
A trace of barely perceptible worry flashed in her eyes.
"Are you really so sure it's a Disaster Beast?"
Shiro's voice held a note of vigilance, "What if it's a fairy that hasn't awakened yet?"
Upon hearing this question, a wild gleam suddenly burst forth in Black Rose's eyes.
A cruel smile curled at the corners of her mouth, her voice filled with excitement and anticipation.
"If it is a fairy, wouldn't it be even better to stitch her with that purple lady?"
There was a hint of madness in Black Rose's voice,
"After all, if I'm successful, then my dear little maid, I believe... you would want to undergo the surgery personally, right?"
Faced with Black Rose's crazy remarks, Shiro's expression remained as calm as water.
There was not a flicker of emotion in her eyes, as if Black Rose was speaking of just another ordinary matter.
As Black Rose said.
If she truly succeeded, proving that the human body could steal the powers of a fairy.
Then Shiro would indeed not hesitate to try.
Only in this way could she realize her ideas.
Seeing Shiro's calm reaction, Black Rose's smile grew brighter.
She seemed very pleased with Shiro's attitude, as if she could already envision the day her plan succeeded.
"Zhu Jin,"
Black Rose suddenly turned her head and called out to the side:
"For this mission, you will act with the little maid. Cooperate with her to complete the hunt and bring back that Disaster Beast."
As soon as Black Rose finished speaking,
A woman dressed smartly, with a longbow slung over her back, stepped out from the crowd.
Her movements were agile and elegant.
"Okay, leave it to me."
Zhu Jin's voice was crisp and confident.
She walked over to Shiro and gave a slight nod in greeting.
Shiro merely glanced at her indifferently, offering no response.
...
On the floating island of Manju Academy, the sun was bright, and a gentle breeze wafted through.
The cluster of buildings in the academy was majestic, its white stone walls shining under the sunlight.
A few pure white clouds drifted in the sky, adding to the dreamlike quality of this aerial academy.
Little White Lotus stood in the central square of the academy,
Before her stood three people: Laurel, Hiyakura, and Jasmine.
Little White Lotus's gaze swept over the three and finally landed on Laurel.
She earnestly said: "Laurel, Hiyakura, and Jasmine will be entrusted to you."
Upon hearing this, Laurel immediately straightened her posture, a determined expression appearing on her face.
She nodded solemnly in response:
"Rest assured, headmaster. I will definitely protect the two younger sisters. No matter what danger we encounter, I will do my utmost to ensure their safety."
Little White Lotus nodded in satisfaction but suddenly remembered something, her brow slightly furrowing.
Her gaze shifted past the three and looked towards an open space in the distance.
"Oh right," she added, "If possible, try to bring that big fat dragon along!"
Following Little White Lotus's gaze,
In a grassy area not far from the academy, a massive black dragon was lazily lying on the ground.
The sunlight cast a warm glow on its sleek, dark scales, reflecting a metallic sheen.
This Abyss Dragon looked exceptionally fat, its belly almost touching the ground.
It half-closed its eyes, soaking in the warm sunlight, occasionally letting out a satisfied rumble, appearing rather lethargic.
Little White Lotus watched this scene, a look of indignation appeared on her face, as her teeth ground together in frustration.
