Chapter 764 - 349: Three Apostles_2

"Lord Chai Ye..."

Nari cautiously initiated communication, her voice carrying the timid expectation of a little girl:

"I... I have something I’d like to ask for your help with..."

Deep within the magma sea of Abyss Ninth Layer, Chai Ye continued his brutal self-training.

His massive body endured temperatures and pressure capable of melting mountains.

All three of his faces were contorted, bearing unimaginable pain.

But it was this pain that he pursued.

Only under extreme conditions could he further push the nearly peak physical strength.

Being suddenly interrupted by Nari, his feelings were understandable:

"It’s you again..."

Chai Ye’s voice erupted with the frenzy of lava, but soon calmed down.

After all, Nari might bring valuable information, so the relationship couldn’t be entirely severed for now:

"What’s the matter, hurry up and say it."

"It’s... it’s about my darling..."

Nari’s voice became even more timid:

"It’s growing too fast, and my current reserves aren’t enough to feed it..."

She paused momentarily, gathering the courage to continue:

"You mentioned last time, that if necessary, we could consider expanding my hunting permissions..."

Chai Ye’s three brains started working simultaneously.

This indeed was an excellent opportunity.

Expanding Nari’s activity range would clearly enhance the transformation and growth of that mysterious puppet.

Moreover, this arrangement required almost no substantial cost for him.

The dragon-headed evil spirit already considered the Stand-In Puppet as his own.

After all, he, able to stalemate with the "Void Spider" Maggs, was the second Supreme Apostle.

Nari, who couldn’t even understand her own territory, with what could she resist him?

"Oh, so that’s it..."

Chai Ye’s tone began to become "friendly":

"It seems your ’darling’ indeed has potential. However, cross-regional hunting is no small matter..."

He deliberately paused, fully fermenting Nari’s nervousness:

"Specifically, where do you want to go?"

"The territory of Blood Tear Duke..."

Nari eagerly said, her voice filled with the little girl’s unique longing:

"I’ve heard there are many rare emotional flowers and pure despair crystals... these can greatly aid my darling’s growth..."

"Also, the territory of Mad Bite, where the quality of mutated prey is high and rich in protein..."

As she spoke, her excitement grew, greed seemingly boundless:

"Oh, and the dream essence in Nightmare Queen’s realm—I feel my darling might need such special nutrition..."

Chai Ye inwardly sneered.

Nari’s choices exposed her nature, selecting the most valuable resource zones.

"Indeed... quite challenging."

He feigned a difficult demeanor:

"You know, Asmond, Mogron, and Selena aren’t easy to deal with, getting them to agree to open hunting permissions..."

"I beg you!"

Nari’s voice was tearful:

"I truly have no other way! I can’t let my darling starve—it’s the most important thing in my life!"

Upon hearing such sincere expression, Chai Ye furrowed his brow, feeling somewhat speechless.

Was this still the living catastrophe "Eye of the Abyss," devouring countless fifth-layer beings upon each awakening?

"Alright, alright."

He ultimately "reluctantly" agreed, his tone carrying lenience:

"Given that you’ve been so attentive in care, I can step in to coordinate. But you must agree to some conditions."

"What conditions? I’ll agree to everything!"

Nari was nearly dizzy with excitement:

"As long as it helps my darling, I’ll accept any conditions!"

"Firstly, you must regularly report to me on the hunting situation and your ’darling’s’ transformation."

Chai Ye’s tone became serious:

"I need to ensure this arrangement hasn’t caused unnecessary issues."

"Secondly, while hunting in other Apostles’ territories, you must remain discreet. Avoid causing conflict, and don’t expose the special nature of your ’darling.’"

"Lastly, if there’s any abnormal change in the situation, you must notify me immediately."

"Alright, alright! I’ve remembered everything!"

Nari excitedly promised: "I will be careful, and definitely won’t trouble you!"

After the communication ended, Chai Ye immediately began contacting other Apostles.

As one of the thirteen Supreme Apostles, he wielded the authority to coordinate Abyss affairs.

However, he possessed only coordination authority, not direct management power, given each Apostle is an absolute king in their own territory.

Thus, exercising such authority required strategy and skill.

The first to be contacted was "Blood Tear Duke" Asmond.

This cunning young Apostle was handling affairs within his scarlet palace.

Surrounded by dozens of Blood Race descendants, several beautiful women continually served their ancestors.

"Lord Chai Ye?"

Asmond signaled the woman beneath him to halt, his voice carrying vigilance:

"You would voluntarily contact me... I’m truly honored..."

He elegantly fiddled with the blood-colored rose in his hand:

"Let me guess... it can’t be anything good."

"It’s about the ’Eye of the Abyss’ Nari’s hunting permissions."

Chai Ye stated bluntly:

"She is recently cultivating a special project, requiring more high-quality resources—I hope you can open part of your region for hunting permissions."

"Nari?"

Asmond let out a contemptuous laugh:

"That wastrel incapable of managing underlings? What special project could she have? Don’t tell me she’s found another ’perfect transformation target.’"
