Chapter 99: Lian Xing’s First Kiss!!
After arriving in Cold Toad Province, Lian Xing had tried everything, but the Mist Colt wouldn’t even look at her.
But, two Legends…and she still couldn’t contract the Mist Colt. What had gone wrong…?
Lian Xing’s starry eyes dimmed, her expression lost in thought.
Suddenly, a wave of white mist enveloped her, and her already gloomy face turned even paler, like someone who had just witnessed their mother’s funeral procession get hit by a truck again…
“Whoosh——!!!”
As the mist cleared, Lian Xing found herself back in the Moonwalker mother’s white mist space.
Little Moonwalker was going home.
And she had completely failed to contract the Mist Colt…
Actually, at this stage, the Mist Colt wouldn’t be that useful to her.
But the frustration of failing to contract it…
It would deal a heavy blow to Lian Xing’s innocent heart!!
It might even cause her to develop various psychological and physical problems…
However, as Lian Xing entered the white mist space, her face pale, she didn’t realize…
That the Mist Colt in reality had turned its head, staring at the unconscious, golden-haired girl with an expression of disbelief.
“…”
“…”
“Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!!!”
Back in the cloud space, Little Moonwalker, as if it had returned home, started bouncing around excitedly. Meanwhile, the bride deer, its expression pleased, walked gracefully towards them from the mist.
“It seems…you got along well…”
“She looks happy~~~”
“Yes, she’s a good girl~~”
Facing the bride deer’s praise, Lian Xing simply nodded absentmindedly.
Returning Little Moonwalker, she wasn’t sad, just a bit reluctant…
The little fawn had just been weaned and couldn’t leave its mother yet. It couldn’t just follow her and wander the world…
Little Moonwalker still had a long way to go.
And when it grew up, they would meet again.
At this moment, as Lian Xing was lost in thought.
Little Moonwalker, after running around the bride deer excitedly, suddenly ran back to the golden-haired girl and nudged her leg. Lian Xing understood, bending down to pet the little fawn’s head. Seeing this, the other four hybrid girls looked envious.
As the first to take care of Little Moonwalker, Lian Xing had undoubtedly established a bond with it.
Now, as the other candidates, if they wanted to replace or surpass Lian Xing’s position in Little Moonwalker’s heart, they would have to work much harder!!!
“Alright, then, next, it’s your turn, Little Fly…”
“Take good care of my daughter!!!”
“I will, Milady!” Thunder Fly, the lightning elemental hybrid, nodded seriously, accepting the bride deer’s request.
So, the bride deer gently picked up Little Moonwalker by the scruff of its neck and handed it to Thunder Fly, ignoring its struggles.
“Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!!!”
This time, Little Moonwalker reacted the same way it had when it first left home, screaming and struggling, its eyes filled with tears as it looked at Lian Xing, as if it were being sold…
It was like a girlfriend being dragged away from her lover.
Lian Xing could only wave goodbye helplessly.
This wasn’t some cliché drama. She couldn’t just steal Little Moonwalker back from Thunder Fly.
Moreover, its mother was right there…
A few minutes later, after giving them some instructions and answering a few questions about evolution, the bride deer sent them back one by one. However, Lian Xing waited, but the teleportation…didn’t happen.
She looked up at the bride deer, confused.
“What’s wrong, Milady?”
“Little Star, you look…sad… Are you jealous…?” the bride deer asked curiously.
“Uh…”
Hearing this, Lian Xing scratched her head, speechless.
Jealous?
Jealous of whom?
She didn’t consider Little Moonwalker her pet beast, nor her future wife. At most, she was just babysitting.
From the beginning, Lian Xing’s true target had always been the Big Moonwalker, so…
“No, if I were jealous, it would be of you , Milady~~~”
“Didn’t I say before? I like mature and elegant beauties like you~~~” Lian Xing quickly recovered from her disappointment and said, her voice flirtatious, twirling a strand of golden hair.
However, in the next second…
Under the girl’s shocked gaze, the bride deer gently lifted her slender, white arm with a hoof.
Then, with a tender expression, it licked the girl’s delicate finger.
At that moment, Lian Xing’s eyes widened in shock.
“…”
“…”
“M-Milady…!!!!?” After a few seconds of stunned silence, she finally reacted, exclaiming in disbelief.
But the white bride deer just smiled at her.
“Be good, go back. This is your reward for taking care of my daughter. Don’t be sad anymore~~~”
In the next second, as the deer’s affectionate words echoed, the cloud space before Lian Xing blurred.
A moment later, when her vision cleared, she was back in Cold Toad Province. Lian Xing’s body trembled uncontrollably.
The deer mother had licked her finger…
This, this, this, this, this…
This was…something only married couples did!!!
A faint blush appeared on Lian Xing’s flawless face.
“…”
“…”
“I’m…not going to be able to sleep tonight—” Lian Xing muttered, her voice filled with shyness…
However, lost in this strange and wonderful sensation, she didn’t notice the commotion around her.
At this moment, on the mountain peak, the Mist Colt, the Floating Light Orb, and the 8090ti… all stared at the mark on her finger with expressions of disbelief.
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The earth shook, a deafening roar echoing for miles, the invisible clouds above churning, as if the entire Cold Toad Province was trembling. At this moment, in the eyes of these wild pet beasts, an unimaginable pressure emanated from the golden-haired girl’s finger.
It was like the heavens and earth were about to be torn apart, a devastating aura of destruction.
This was the pressure…that only wild pet beasts could sense.
From another realm, a different dimension, an absolute presence!!!
At this moment, even the Rare Juvenile Species wandering in the neighboring regions looked towards Cold Toad Province with awe and longing, as if on a…pilgrimage…
Meanwhile, Lian Xing herself was oblivious to all this.
She turned away, muttering to herself, and started walking down the mountain.
Since Little Moonwalker was gone, there was no way she could contract the Mist Colt now.
Haha, time to give up!!!
However, the moment Lian Xing turned to leave—
The Mist Colt, unable to resist its turmoil any longer, turned its head, looking at the girl’s retreating figure with a pained expression.
“Why…why are you…tempting…me…?”
“Why did you have to appear before me…at this moment…”
“Why…why is there a…Legend Beast Tamer…in this region!?”
“I had already decided…never to evolve again…why…why are you giving me…hope…?”
Normally, a Mid-Tier pet beast couldn’t speak.
But this Mist Colt…it could speak, and its pronunciation was perfect, even better than the Floating Light Orb.
Watching Lian Xing’s departing figure, it muttered, its voice filled with conflict and pain—
Over ten minutes had passed since Lian Xing left the mountain peak.
She glanced back and sighed again, feeling defeated.
She had climbed the mountain alone, and now she was descending alone, her plan to contract the Mist Colt a complete failure.
But what was wrong with that Mist Colt?
Its ability to resist the temptation of a Legend and a crystal, Lian Xing even wondered if it had practiced holding its breath…
However, just as Lian Xing gave up, deciding to target a different Rare Species…
“Whoosh!!!!!”
A gust of wind blew, and a green mist enveloped her. In the next second, she was transported several kilometers, a fiery arc of light streaking through the air. Under Lian Xing’s bewildered gaze, the spherical cloud of mist, surrounded by flames, reappeared before her.
The Mist Colt!!!
“What…can I do for you…?” Lian Xing asked hesitantly.
“—”
“—”
[What’s your name?] the Mist Colt asked in a language only pet beasts could understand.
As a Mid-Tier pet beast, it naturally couldn’t speak human languages.
Lian Xing, after asking the Moonlight Rabbit to translate, finally understood.
“Lian Xing.”
Lian Xing blinked, her voice filled with suspicion.
What was going on? Had the Mist Colt suddenly changed its mind?
[Why do you want me?]
[I’m just a Mid-Tier, a common species. What value do I have that’s worth your time?] the Mist Colt asked again.
“…”
“…”
Facing the Mist Colt’s question, the girl remained silent for a long time.
Finally, she spoke, her voice soft and sincere, “Perhaps… the Mist Colt itself…doesn’t…”
“But…in the near future…a Royal-Tier Mist Colt…a Monarch-Tier Mist Colt…an Emperor-Tier Mist Colt…that’s worth my time.”
As Lian Xing finished speaking…
Silence fell.
After a long moment of contemplation, the Mist Colt seemed to have accepted its fate. It lowered its head and said, its voice humble, [Then…take me with you, Master.]
[I want to…evolve again…]
Although it was a Rare Species, it didn’t make any demands, as if it had no pride…
However, perhaps the Moonlight Rabbit’s translation wasn’t very accurate, but Lian Xing felt that the Mist Colt’s words sounded strange, even grammatically incorrect.
What did it mean to…evolve again…?
Perhaps it meant…experiencing…what it was like to be a High-Tier pet beast?
But at least she understood the general meaning. Lian Xing nodded, her expression pleased.
“Darling, come to me~~~”
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
In the next second, with a flash of green light, the Mist Colt’s body entered the golden-haired girl’s body.
Fourth pet beast, contract successful!!!
At the same time, Lian Xing saw the Mist Colt’s stats.
[Mid-Tier — Viral Species — Mist Colt LV18]
[Talent: Floating Cloud (Passively creates an illusory shield that absorbs all external impacts. Can cover allies. Absorption limit based on the Mist Colt’s will and level.)]
[Talent: Mist Walk (Upon leaving the Viral Space, creates a dense mist that conceals its movements and increases its speed. Speed based on the Mist Colt’s will and level.)]
[Combat Skill: None]
[Arcane Art: None]
Besides its two initial talents, the Mist Colt’s stats weren’t particularly special, just like most newly born Rare Species.
Star Sand also had two initial talents.
The reason it was level 18 was probably because it had consumed some pet beast crystals.
However, Lian Xing’s attention was drawn to a special mark in the top right corner of the Mist Colt’s panel.
[Evolution Path Reset Count: 1, cannot be reset again.]
What? The Mist Colt had reset its evolution path before!?
Lian Xing blinked, confused.
But it couldn’t have been reset in its initial form, so the Mist Colt must have evolved to High-Tier before. But its level hadn’t carried over, it was still a Mid-Tier level 18.
Thinking of this, a thought crossed Lian Xing’s mind.
Could the Mist Colt have chosen a full reset…?
A full reset was different from the Moonlight Rabbit’s partial reset, which had retained its level and attributes when it regressed from the Moonlight Drive form. In Pet Beast Evolution Battle, a full reset meant that even the level and bloodline combat skills were completely erased, players jokingly calling it a character deletion.
Except for those quitting the game, no one would choose this self-destructive option.
So, what had happened to the Mist Colt before?
What kind of pet beast had it been?
