Damyu accepted that. Beyond that, she was proud of it. In the sense that while she wasn't the only one acting as a warehouse, she possessed the most.
Every time the treasures of Red Lotus piled up one by one in her swamp, she felt a sense of belonging and achievement. If one were to pick the rarest and most expensive among them, it would be the World-Sealing Pill.
This pill, looking like a white pearl, had a medicinal effect strong enough to stop the burden of the world, and most members followed Red Lotus to take this medicine. Hundreds of such things. The fact that they were sleeping inside her swamp made her have the illusion that she wasn't just a cog, but maybe something important.
Yes, an illusion.
