Time Was Almost Up

Once again, Li Yang returned to the halls of the High Priestess and found himself trapped in a conversation. Save for Priestess Mitsuko being around in the hall as a bystander, it was actually getting nauseous from being in the same room as the High Priestess.

This time around, a green sickly haze erupted from the sinuous fingers of the High Priestess as she spewed out something from her hookah.

She sucked in deeply before letting out a trail of green rings from her mouth.

Whether or not it was intentional, the High Priestess Rhelea shifted from using mind-altering smoke and fumes to just a subtle fragrance that gave him a headache. His sharp senses were now being turned against him.

And he couldn't even use Ao in her presence to avoid detection.

He only scrunched up his nose.
