Chapter 148: The Emperor-Tier Crystal
“Take them off!!!”
Inside the room, as Tears Maiden gave her command, Lian Xing hesitated.
She had only gone ten days without showering…
Was this really necessary?
A Beast Tamer’s Pet Essence purified their bodies naturally. Not showering wasn’t a big deal…
After a moment of hesitation, she obediently undressed.
However, Tears Maiden’s gaze fell upon Lian Xing’s newly donned fishnet stockings.
“Take them off too!!!”
“Why? You…pervert…” Lian Xing protested, her face flushing.
She had wanted to call Tears Maiden a pervert, but remembering that they were in the Dominating Cauldron Palace, and if their fake relationship was exposed, it would be a disaster, she stopped herself.
To be honest, for that Emperor-Tier life crystal, she had sacrificed everything. Although her lost dignity and morals couldn’t be recovered, from now on, she would be a good girl…!!!
As Lian Xing made her vow inwardly, in the next second, as Tears Maiden’s fishtail gently brushed against her leg, her body went limp, melting like butter, collapsing onto the bed, unable to even open her eyes.
“No, stop…”
But Tears Maiden, ignoring the golden-haired girl’s protest, took advantage of her weakness and removed her fishnet stockings, revealing her smooth, white feet once again. Seeing that there was no escape, Lian Xing’s eyes welled up with tears, her body wriggling on the bed like a worm, but she was quickly pulled back by a fishtail.
“Little Star, as a Legend Beast Tamer, how can you not shower every day?”
“Even if it’s a condition of Star Sand’s contract, there are other ways to clean your body. You’re just lazy… Don’t develop bad habits…” As Tears Maiden’s gentle voice echoed, under Lian Xing’s horrified gaze, her fishtail split open, then, like the mouth of a carnivorous plant, swallowed Lian Xing whole.
“Splash, splash, splash—”
“Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle—”
Then, inside the soft, smooth fishtail, like a washing machine, Lian Xing was tumbled and tossed…
After a dozen seconds of this intense treatment, Lian Xing was spit out…
In the silent room, the golden-haired girl, her hair disheveled, knelt on the bed, her expression blank.
Then, she looked at her body in disbelief.
As if she had been kissed by the clear, blue ocean, her skin was smooth, supple, and glowing, far more radiant than before.
And…it felt amazing…
Lian Xing had expected to be tortured, but it had actually been incredibly pleasant. She felt light and clean, almost wanting to give in…and let Tears Maiden do whatever she wanted…
Strange…how could this be…?
Tears Maiden’s control over Pet Essence shouldn’t be better than the Moonwalker Mother’s…
“See? You can clean your body without water.”
“From today onwards, while we’re pretending to be a couple, until we leave the Dominating Cauldron Palace, we’ll do this at least three times a day~~~~” Tears Maiden said seriously, retracting her fishtail, her expression indifferent, as she looked at the surprised Lian Xing.
Although Tears Maiden often seemed cold and aloof, she cared about her friends in the white deer space. As the Saintess of Worry-Free Pond, she had never had any friends, let alone any peers to talk to.
This time, defending Lian Xing, even challenging the Dominating Cauldron Palace…
It was simply because Lian Xing was one of her few online friends…
But…what she couldn’t tolerate was Lian Xing’s poor hygiene…!!!
“…”
“Can we do it ten times a day?” Lian Xing suddenly asked, after a moment of silence.
Hearing this, Tears Maiden paused, then smiled, her expression pleased.
“Of course, Little Star. It seems you’ve finally realized the benefits of cleanliness. It’s better to be clean and fragrant than dirty and sticky, right?”
“Can we do it for an hour each time?” Lian Xing asked again.
“…”
“…”
Meanwhile, as Lian Xing and Tears Maiden were talking…
In another corner of the room, Star Sand, the golden, star-filled figure, and a small, translucent, blue Water Elemental, Rainwater, were staring at each other.
Lian Xing had promised Star Sand that she would find an Elemental Species Legend as its companion. And now, although this wish had been fulfilled, Star Sand wasn’t happy…
Normally, when two Legends of the same type met, it wasn’t uncommon for them to mate immediately, but unfortunately—
Rainwater was made of water…
They were completely…incompatible…!!!
Just seeing Rainwater made Star Sand feel nauseous…
And Rainwater’s attitude was even more extreme…
Facing Star Sand’s gaze, it rolled its eyes and turned away, ignoring it.
At the same time, the Moonlight Rabbit and the Golden Leaf were curiously observing another pet beast in Tears Maiden’s lineup.
A small, golden teardrop.
It seemed to be the Juvenile form of something, its aura unremarkable, but its life force was blurry, making it difficult to determine its tier.
Seeing this, the Moonlight Rabbit spat out the Golden Leaf, picked up the golden teardrop, and chewed on it curiously.
“Crunch, crunch…”
“Chomp, chomp…”
It was too hard, like a rock.
Unable to chew it, the Moonlight Rabbit spat it out, picked up the Golden Leaf, which it treated like a handbag, and hopped back to Lian Xing’s side.
The golden teardrop remained motionless, then, after a while, its aura flickered with…irritation…
Three days ago, under the gaze of the entire Pet Beast World, Tears Maiden had defended Moon Rabbit, even revealing their relationship…
According to the latest news, Tears Maiden had taken Moon Rabbit to the Seven Heavens’ branch in the Dominating Cauldron Palace, and they hadn’t left for three days and three nights.
If nothing unexpected had happened, then something unexpected had definitely happened…
The Worry-Free Pond online forums were practically paralyzed…
“Wuwuwu, Tears Maiden, my Tears Maiden, she’s been taken…!!!”
“That damn Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, publicly acting out and deceiving Tears Maiden!!!”
“How did they even meet? The Beast Tamer Alliance and Worry-Free Pond…they’re worlds apart!!!”
As the news spread, not only Worry-Free Pond…
But also Baiyue Province, the Beast Tamer Alliance, even the Dominating Cauldron Palace…they were all in shock.
Especially Jade Lady, who had played the role of the villain. Her reputation had plummeted, becoming a laughingstock without even participating in a single battle.
At this moment, inside the Seven Heavens’ branch in the Dominating Cauldron Palace…
Lian Xing, her long, golden hair spread across the bed, lay on her side, casually hugging Tears Maiden’s smooth fishtail, treating it like a pillow. Tears Maiden rarely slept, spending most of her time meditating, sensing the Pet Essence flow within her pet beast. This primitive training method was incredibly slow, so only a few ancient regions still practiced it, to cultivate the Beast Tamer’s mental fortitude…
Suddenly, Lian Xing, who had been asleep, stirred and sat up. She poked Tears Maiden’s face and played with her eyelashes, then, seeing no reaction, sighed in relief.
“Finally…asleep…”
At this moment, taking advantage of Tears Maiden’s deep meditation, Lian Xing finally had a chance to examine the Emperor-Tier crystal inside Cloud Dream Calamity. She hadn’t dared to do it before, with Tears Maiden watching.
What if Tears Maiden discovered her lie and reported her?
Although they got along, Lian Xing still didn’t know much about Tears Maiden’s personality. Besides being forced to take baths every day, she knew nothing about her thoughts.
If the Emperor-Tier crystal was discovered, the consequences would be dire…
Even if the Dominating Cauldron Palace suspected that she had stolen something, they wouldn’t think she had gone so deep into the relic.
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
Lian Xing’s consciousness entered Cloud Dream Calamity’s Viral Space.
The Cloud Dream Calamity’s combat skills were now the highest quality in her entire lineup.
[North Wind (Fluorescent)]
[Illustrious Form (Green)]
[Spectral Severance (Crimson)]
[Viral Duel (Crimson)]
Having a Fluorescent Quality combat skill at High-Tier was unthinkable for most Beast Tamers.
But this wasn’t the main event…
Lian Xing planned to have Cloud Dream Calamity fulfill the Commander-Tier evolution requirements before the tournament. This way, it would be qualified to face top contenders like Tears Maiden, who had even repelled a Monarch-Tier pet beast before contracting with Rainwater.
And after contracting with Rainwater…
If not for her ownphysical limitations, Lian Xing would have probably taken advantage of Tears Maiden’s meditation and traumatized her for life, making her too afraid to even fight back.
As the saying went, the more you lack something, the more you desire it. So, Lian Xing could only indulge in such fantasies in her mind.
After a brief moment of daydreaming, Lian Xing used the Azure Mechanical Heart to analyze the dark crystal.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
As the Great Lord Biluo’s data analysis began, a series of garbled characters, formed from aura, appeared before Lian Xing, then gradually formed a readable panel.
[Emperor-Tier — Viral Species — Three-Inch Incense]
[Talent: Samadhi (Analysis failed)]
[Talent: Soul Severance (Analysis failed)]
“…”
“…”
“How…how is this possible!?”
“This life crystal…it belongs to Three-Inch Incense!?” the Great Lord Biluo exclaimed in disbelief.
Three-Inch Incense, one of the ancestors of the Azure Sky Emperor’s bloodline, a legendary figure from tens of thousands of years ago, its fame once rivaling even the Great Emperor Yun Jianyou. It had heard that after the Azure Sky Emperor reached Sovereign-Tier, the Dominating Cauldron Palace had immediately offered Three-Inch Incense’s life crystal for it to consume, hoping to help it reach an even higher level.
But how could this crystal still exist? Shouldn’t it have been consumed by the Azure Sky Emperor long ago!?
As the Great Lord Biluo explained, its voice filled with disbelief, Cloud Dream Calamity, looking at the crystal, suddenly felt a sharp headache, then said thoughtfully, “No, the version I heard is different. The Azure Sky Emperor didn’t consume this crystal. It received a different inheritance from the Sanctuary, so Three-Inch Incense’s crystal was preserved, eventually falling into our hands…”
“…”
“…”
“What…version…is that? And what do you mean by ‘I heard’? Who were you…back then…?” the Great Lord Biluo asked, not believing Cloud Dream Calamity’s story…
“I’m your mother! I can be anything!” Cloud Dream Calamity retorted coldly.
If they were comparing their ages from their previous lives, it wasn’t necessarily younger than the 20,000-year-old Great Lord Biluo.
Meanwhile, seeing that her two High-Tier newborns were about to start arguing inside her body, Lian Xing quickly stopped them and carefully picked up the Emperor-Tier crystal. The Great Lord Biluo, in its current High-Tier Azure Mechanical Heart form, couldn’t analyze an Emperor-Tier crystal’s Pet Essence.
But having obtained such a rare crystal, regardless of its talents, Lian Xing wouldn’t let it go to waste.
“Cloud Dream Calamity, consume this crystal…”
“It’s time for you to evolve again!!!”
