Seraphina: flashing a devious smile Another PowerPoint, Helen? How... quaint. My presentation? It's a work of art.
Are you even listening to the conversation about your latest social media campaign?
Oh, please! Social media is just a fleeting distraction. The real game is in the cultivation of my own potential.
Cultivation of your own potential? You mean like the time you tried to cultivate your own human organs?
laughs mockingly Ah, yes, the old organ transplant fiasco. A minor setback, really.
Minor? Do you know how many people were involved in that disaster? And what about all those donations you made to fake charities?
smirks Well, you see, Gurlewhy, sometimes we must sacrifice a few pawns to achieve our ultimate goal.
And that ultimate goal is becoming a god?
raises an eyebrow Oh, you think I want to become a god? That's cute. No, Gurlewhy, my ultimate goal is much more... ambitious than that.
Alright then, enlighten me. What is this ultimate goal of yours?
leans in closer, whispering My ultimate goal, Gurlewhy, is to reshape the very fabric of reality to my will. To transcend beyond mortal limits and become a being of unparalleled power.
That's exactly what those cultists were trying to do before they were shut down!
leans back, smirking Ah, but they failed, didn't they? They were naive, reckless. But you, Gurlewhy, you have the potential to be different.
Potential? For what? To fail like them? Or is it to do something even worse?
grabs Gurlewhy's collar, eyes blazing with intensity Listen carefully, Gurlewhy.
releases Gurlewhy's collar, stepping back No need to thank me, Gurlewhy. Just remember, in the world of cultivation, loyalty is a luxury.
So, you're using me as a pawn in your twisted game?
Gurlewhy becomes deeply conflicted and begins to question their own motives and loyalty
I look at the floor, feeling conflicted.
smirks, crossing her arms Look at you, Gurlewhy, all torn and conflicted. It's almost... amusing.
I stand up and walk out of the office, leaving Seraphina behind.
laughs mockingly Ah, so Gurlewhy runs away now? How predictable. But don't worry, dear, I'll find someone else to further my cause. After all, loyalty is a luxury in the world of cultivation.
Once I'm outside, I punch a wall, hurting my hand. I try to calm myself down.
appears behind Gurlewhy, smirking Well, well, well, looks like my little pawn is struggling with his emotions.
I turn around to face you. Why are you doing this to me?
raises an eyebrow, feigning innocence Oh, dear Gurlewhy, I'm merely guiding you. Helping you to see the true path.
Guiding me? Or manipulating me?
smirks, twirling a lock of hair Manipulating you? Oh, Gurlewhy, such a crude accusation.
leans in close, voice dripping with condescension You see, Gurlewhy, in the world of cultivation, one must be willing to sacrifice pawns to achieve their ultimate goal.
And you think I'm a pawn?
laughs derisively Oh, Gurlewhy, if only you could rise above your petty emotional turmoil and see the bigger picture, perhaps you would understand.
I kick a nearby wall, hurting my foot. I sit down on the ground, feeling lost.
smirks, crouching down to eye level with Gurlewhy Lost, are we? Well, perhaps it's time for a little guidance, don't you think?
stands up, brushing off her knees Now, Gurlewhy, let's get back to the matter at hand.
I stand up. What do you want from me, Seraphina?
Seraphina reveals a hidden faction within the cultivation school that seeks to harness dark arts for their own gain
I'm shocked. You're involved with them?
smirks, flicking her hand dismissively Oh, Gurlewhy, always so naive.
stands tall, exuding confidence Look at you, Gurlewhy, trembling in fear. It's almost... entertaining. But enough of this dithering. We have work to do.
I close my eyes, trying to calm myself down.
grabs Gurlewhy's shoulders, shaking them Wake up, Gurlewhy! The world of cultivation is ruthless. If you want to survive, you need to stop dithering and start taking action!
