But before Ruik could get close to him, a flash of Purple Lightning appeared on his way and stopped his advance. Obviously, it was Krune who intervened.

"Ruik, you are being unfair with Laex."

Ruik was taken aback.

"What are you talking about? If he tells the Dragon Race, it will put Liriu in extreme danger. Are you telling me to just let it happens?"

Krune shook his head.

"Can't you understand his side? Do you have any idea how much commitment he had to put into it to tell us the truth? As far as we are regarded, Laex could have simply stayed silent and create an excuse to leave the Wisp Main World. No one would suspect anything."

"Not only that. Cinty is not here at the moment, and she is the only one with a Cultivation High enough to stop him. Still, he did not make a move on Liriu. Telling us the truth and not killing Liriu himself. If this doesn't show how much he cares about him, then I don't know what it is."

After hearing that, Ruik's rage deflated like a balloon, completely disappearing a moment later.

Krune sighed out in relief.

"This has nothing to do with him wanting to hurt Liriu. In the Dragon and Phoenix Races, this is considered a calamity through and through. It might be regarded as even worse than the Wisps' situation at the moment. Laex also knows that, so he has to fulfill his duty as a member of the Dragon Race."

Krune looked at everyone and then said.

"If any of us was in his skin, I'm sure you all would do the same thing. At the very least, I know that I would. In the end, the needs of the race is a lot more important his own."

Laex had indeed spent a lot of time with Liriu in the past years. So he was very fond of him. This was also a tough decision for him. If one paid attention, they would notice him clenching his fist so hard that his nails entered his palm.

"The fact that he did this much is already enough for us to know that he wishes Liriu's safety. So don't make things harder than it is."

Ruik understood the logic behind it, but he still couldn't accept it. He simply turned around and went back to Liriu's side. Liriu was still sleeping due to his tiredness, so he wanted to stay by his side.

Krune then looked at Laex.

"Thanks for letting us know about it."

Laex was surprised by this and then smiled bitterly.

"Anyway, it is not like I need to leave the Wisp Main World to make my report. So I guess I will stay here for the time being."

Everyone looked at Laex, puzzled. Isn't he leaving the Wisp Main World after this?

Laex then said.

"It is as krune said. This is my duty as a member of the Dragon Race. I must inform the elders about it. But after that, I'm free to do whatever I want."

Laex then opened his communicator and called his uncle, the same Fire Dragon that Krune and the others saw in the past. Not too long after, the image of a Dragon resting inside of a pool of lava appeared on the other side.

"Laex? Why are you calling me? Didn't I tell you last time that I'm resting?"

Krune and the others were taken aback. It had been years since they last called this fire Dragon. Does it mean that Laex's Uncle had been resting in that pool since then? However, when they stopped to think about how old he probably is and his cultivation, those few years probably meant nothing to him.

"Hey Uncle, I'm just calling to tell you that I found a Dracophoenix. Also, it seems like I feel under his control due to his bloodline. Because of that, I won't be able to help any more than what I'm doing now. It seems like I'm using my last will power just to tell this much. Oh! I'm losing control. Ohhhhh nooooo! I can't fight against his bloodline anymore. Ohhhhhhh...

...

...

Anyway, that's it. See ya!"

Laex then finished the call. Right after, he took his communicator out and crushed it.

Everyone was taken aback.

What kind of control is this that you are losing? With the difference in cultivation between you and Liriu, there is no way in hell that it is true. Let alone the fact that Liriu is sleeping at the moment. First of all, even if Liriu's cultivation was high enough to control you, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Laex smiled back at everyone and said.

"Ohhhh... How could I let such a thing happen? I can't fight anymore... It seems like I have no other choice other than help protecting him against my will. How could that be? How could that be? Ohhh..."

Pssst.

Immediately, everyone burst out in laugher. Even Ruik and Tiane, who were the most affected ones, couldn't help but laugh as well.

In the end, Feifei wiped out a tear of the corner of her eyes due to having laughed too much and said.

"That was, without a doubt, the worst play I had ever seen in my life."

Laex shrugged his shoulders and extended his arms.

"What are you talking about? Can't you see that I'm under Liriu's control? I have no power to resist at all. It is not my fault that I became like this."

In the end, Tiane couldn't help but ask.

"But is it really okay? It will make you fall against your own race."

Laex didn't mind, though.

"Since I've come this far, there is no need to hold back anymore. I did what I had to do, now I'm free to do whatever I want."

Ruik then sighed and said.

"Thanks."

Laex nodded.

"Anyway. As long as Liriu stays in the Wisp Main World, there won't be any risk to him. But how do you plan to deal with this issue from now one?"

Krune pondered a bit and said.

"No other choice, we can only Seal his bloodline."

Everyone looked puzzled at Krune.

"Seal his bloodline?"
