Rebel pulled Kuroha forward, and when they reached the door, Rebel whispered some instructions.

"You might feel a little dizzy..."

Just as Kuroba was wondering what was going on, he and Rebel passed through the gate.

The moment he stepped inside, Kuroba knew why Rebel had said that.

Because this gate is actually a teleportation array, as soon as he stepped in, an irresistible sense of dizziness immediately swept over Hei Yu's senses.

He opened his eyes after the dizziness gradually subsided.

But they found themselves in a place they had never been before.

Looking at the clear sky and water, Kuroba couldn't help but be somewhat taken aback.

"This is..."

"Lord Kuroba, you also know that the reason why our Phoenix family can occupy a place in the Underworld is not only because of the abilities of the Phoenix, but more importantly because of the Phoenix's Tears, an extremely precious recovery item, right?"

Kuroba nodded.

Rebel pointed to a pool of water not far away and said.

"This is one of the sacred places where we store the tears of the phoenix. To enter this place, one must have the bloodline of our Phoenix family to guide them. Otherwise, the barrier surrounding the area will simply obliterate your physical body due to its automatic defense function."

Kuroba no longer responded to Rebel's subsequent words.

Because his attention was completely focused on the pool of water in front of him.

"This...it's all...the tears of the phoenix?!"

Seeing Kuroba's surprised expression, Rebel seemed to have thought of something and covered her mouth to chuckle.

"Yes, this is the part that my brother owns."

Kuroba's lips twitched immediately.

No wonder Leisa looked at me with such hatred that she wanted to tear me apart... So that's why.

Kuroba could already picture exactly how Rebel had coerced Raiza into handing over the right to use this place...

Rebel walked behind Kuroba, gently nudged him, and urged him in a low voice.

"Lord Kuroba, please do not hesitate. Take off your clothes and enter the pool to allow the life force to fully permeate your body."

Should I just jump in?

Kuroba asked hesitantly.

"Yes, that's right. This pool of water was prepared especially for you. For the next week, your task is to absorb the life force contained in the pool water to make up for the severely depleted lifespan in your body. I will be by your side to wait and serve you."

Rebel patiently explained.

"A week? But I have other things to take care of."

Thinking about what he had promised Akeno, Kuroba couldn't help but frown.

"Don't worry, the flow of time here is different from that in the human world. A week here is only equivalent to a day in the human world."

Rebel patted her chest and assured him.

Most of the problems have been solved, but there is still one very important question that Kuroba has to ask.

"If... I absorb it all... will Lessa kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Rebel nodded her lips, feigning a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm... If we exclude the amount consumed and sold, it would probably take about fifty years to accumulate enough water in this pool... Maybe?"

"!!!"

"Then I don't want it!!"

Kuroba quickly shook his head in refusal.

"Pfft."

Rebel seemed to have gotten the reaction she wanted, and immediately clutched her tummy and laughed.

"Haha, Lord Kuroba, I was just teasing you. My brother and I have already discussed this, so please feel free to use it."

"You've reached an agreement...? What are the terms?"

Faced with Kuroba's strange gaze, Rebel's face couldn't help but blush.

"I...I said this is part of the gift my brother gave me, and I'm using it ahead of time..."

Despite Rebel's cryptic explanation, Kuroba immediately understood its meaning.

He owes Rebel a considerable amount...

Normally, a single bottle of Phoenix Tears can fetch an astronomical price. To put it bluntly, this pool of water could probably buy several towns where they live.

"I..."

Seeing that Kuroba was hesitant, Rebel walked over to him and put her arm around his neck.

"Lord Kuroba, I am your fiancée. If your lifespan were to suddenly decrease, it would also affect my future. Please, for the sake of Rebel, accept this?"

Looking at Rebel's affectionate and tender expression, Kuroba couldn't help but gently kiss her.

After Rebel's body trembled slightly, she tightened her grip on Kuroba's arms even more.

The sweetness in Kuroba's mouth is something he never tires of.

After a passionate kiss, Kuroba gazed at Rebel and said sincerely.

"Thank you, Rebel."

"You're welcome, Lord Kuroba. Isn't everything I have yours...?"

Chapter 189 The plan fell through halfway.

After a brief moment of tenderness, Kuroba was forced to be stripped down to only his underwear at Rebel's urging.

Kuroba glanced helplessly at Rebel, who was sitting not far from the shore and waving, and couldn't help but sigh.

He shifted his gaze back to the pool water not far from his feet.

At first, when Kuroba saw this pool, he thought the water was as clear as a mirror, but now that he knows what it is made of, Kuroba just feels a toothache.

He never imagined that such extravagant lifestyles, typical of wealthy tycoons, would one day fall upon him.

Before this, Rebel had said that no one had ever tried to enter the pool formed from the tears of the phoenix directly. Firstly, because once someone entered, the pool would be ruined, and secondly... because it contained a surge of life force that ordinary people couldn't withstand.

Kuroba unconsciously swallowed and slowly began to walk over.

The pool water was emerald green, constantly radiating a vibrant green light that symbolized life. As he gently extended his finger and touched the water, he felt a warm energy flowing to his fingertip, as if an endless life force was surging within him.

In just an instant, just because a finger touched him, his body was already filled with life force and became incredibly hot.

"hiss..."

"This is too intense!" Kuroba gasped as he felt the changes in his body.

"Fight!"

Hei Yu hesitated for a moment, then shouted and strode into the pool.

The moment Kuroba immersed himself in the pool, he felt a surge of life force rushing into his body. It then spread rapidly throughout his body, and his bones felt as if they were being torn apart by such a powerful force, causing him unbearable pain.

At this moment, Kuroba was horrified to discover that the once calm pool water had begun to surge violently, forming huge whirlpools.

"Holy crap... Are they going to go that far? I don't want to be sucked in that fast!"

Kuroba realized something was wrong, but it was too late to regret it.

The whirlpool had completely enveloped him, and the pool water was frantically rushing into his body.

At this moment, Kuroba could no longer fail to realize that it wasn't that the energy in the pool was too violent, but rather that his body was autonomously absorbing the life force contained within it.

Black Feather, his body swollen and aching, couldn't help but roar to the sky to vent his unbearable pain.

Even though he was absorbing life force, Black Feather's eyes were now bloodshot, and he appeared extremely irritable.

When the destructive power that had already taken hold of his body sensed the uninvited guest surging in, he didn't take it seriously at first.

However, when it sensed this uninvited guest constantly eroding its power, the destructive power within Black Feather's body erupted completely.

The inside of his body was instantly in turmoil, as the destructive power wildly and haphazardly used its strength to try to drive away the life force.

While the life force is gentle, it appears particularly vulnerable to the destructive power. However, because it has a powerful backer, the life force completely disregards its own depletion and does everything it can to neutralize the destructive power within Black Feather's body.

The initial intention was good, but it was Kuroba who suffered.

On the shore, Rebel watched Black Feather howl in pain, her eyes filled with heartache and struggle.

She gritted her teeth and desperately resisted the urge to rush down.

"If possible... I hope I can be the catalyst for your transformation, but if you really can't hold on, Lord Kuroba, I will help you... Please, Lord Kuroba, hold on..."

Kuroba, of course, had no way of knowing about Rebel's silent prayers and murmurs.

At this moment, he felt that his mind was about to be worn away by the pain.

Only when he felt such pain did Kuroba remember the time when Yuuma stabbed him.

Compared to now, back then it felt like Yuuma was gently stroking and massaging her.

"I refuse to believe I can't handle you!!"

Feeling the rampant destruction emanating from the destructive power within him, Kuroba felt a surge of anger.

He simply gave up resisting the absorption, letting his body absorb the life force like a sponge. He then focused his attention on his body and began to try to tame this wild, destructive power in conjunction with the life force.

As Kuroba changed his method, blood immediately began to seep from his body, overflowing from every pore, making him look like a terrifying, blood-soaked machine.

Rebel was also startled by Kuroba's sudden change, but fortunately she suppressed her unease and carefully examined him with her magic. She was relieved when she found that although Kuroba looked very disheveled, his body was gradually becoming more peaceful.

"Honestly... always doing things that are so unpredictable..."

Rebel muttered with some resentment.

However, knowing that Kuroba was unharmed, the nervous Rebel sat down on the ground again and waited patiently, while constantly reassuring herself to ensure that nothing went wrong in the end.

To Rebel's surprise, the construction took five days.
