Chapter 165: Golden Leaf Stolen by Snow Flower, Moonlight Rabbit Cuckolded!
Dark Abyss Sea, within the Ice Prison.
As the 17 Beast Tamers from the new world arrived via special teleportation, they all noticed the golden-haired girl already waiting there. Seeing the bright, starry patterns in her eyes, they held their breath.
This was…
The supervisor for their mission.
They hadn’t forgotten that half a month ago, this girl, along with another blue-haired girl in a hospital gown, had appeared before them as injured patients…
They had encountered supervisors before, but they were usually Emperor-Tier experts. The supervisors’ role was to ensure they didn’t leave the designated area, usually servants trained by the Sanctuary Guardian in the lower Pet Beast Worlds. Unlike the 72 Legends in the new world, who had reached their peak, the lower worlds were filled with immature newborns.
If these Beast Tamers got greedy and tried to steal them…
If they failed and were captured, the lower world’s inhabitants would gain knowledge of the new world, their understanding of the world distorted, which could lead to the destruction of their Pet Beast World.
So, even if it meant death, they couldn’t leave the designated area.
“Strange…this supervisor seems to be just a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer… And she’s actually inside Snow Flower’s domain!? Won’t she…die…?”
“It doesn’t matter. Just focus on our mission. Anything can happen in this Pet Beast World. After all, the Sanctuary Guardian’s previous generation was wiped out here, and even after ten thousand years, they still haven’t retrieved Calamity Sun…”
“Yes, I’ve heard that this place is different from other lower worlds, as if it was separated because it entered that Fallen Species’s orbit…”
“So that’s why there are so many Legends here~~~?” Under the golden-haired girl’s watchful gaze, the 17 Beast Tamers whispered among themselves as they left, searching for Snow Flower’s aura.
Normally, due to the low concentration of Pet Essence, Legends rarely appeared in lower worlds, even Emperors were uncommon. But the moment they arrived in this world, the Beast Tamers from the new world sensed something different…
The Pet Essence concentration here was far higher than in other lower worlds!!!
Meanwhile, Lian Xing followed them, keeping a distance of about a kilometer. She had already tested it when she first arrived. Star Gates couldn’t be placed inside the Ice Prison. Otherwise, she would have used the Star Gate’s bird’s-eye view…
The good news was that Star Orders still worked…
Soon, they encountered a group of Cycle of Calamity remnants, led by a mutated Monarch-Tier black dragon, wandering through the snowy landscape. Because their auras were being masked by the Moonwalker Mother, the remnants couldn’t sense their true strength and surrounded them.
Of course, Lian Xing could see their true strength.
She could even analyze their combat power using the Celestial Anchor’s detection ability. The strongest among them were comparable to Little Flower Goddess and the Second Princess, the mid-tier ones were around the level of the top 2nd-level region league champions, and a few were even newcomers who hadn’t reached Monarch-Tier.
But…
The Cycle of Calamity, Dark Abyss Sea…it had once been a powerful 2nd-level region.
The mutated Monarchs born here couldn’t be weak…
“Roar!!!!!”
In the next second, as the Monarch-Tier black dragon’s terrifying roar echoed, a few of the weaker Beast Tamers clutched their ears and crouched down, their faces contorted in pain. The more experienced ones immediately summoned their Monarch-Tier pet beasts to defend, forming a protective formation. One of the girls calmly placed a mechanical device on the ground, quickly scanning the black dragon’s data.
“…”
“…”
“They’re too cautious…,” Lian Xing muttered, watching from a distance.
They could easily overwhelm this black dragon if they attacked together, yet they were still analyzing its data…
But this was the disadvantage of the Moonwalker Mother’s aura masking.
The barrier worked both ways. They couldn’t sense the enemy’s strength, nor could the enemy sense theirs. This meant that if they encountered an unbeatable opponent, they wouldn’t be able to react in time.
And they couldn’t determine the supervisor, Lian Xing’s, strength either.
But this secrecy was also necessary for the mission.
A few seconds later, the black dragon’s data was displayed.
Seeing the information on the panel, everyone’s expressions turned to disbelief.
“No combat skills?”
“No Arcane Arts…?”
“Wait, what’s going on!?” they whispered to each other, confused.
This black dragon looked so terrifying…how could it be a blank slate…?
What had happened here!?
And not only this Monarch, but also the Royal-Tier pet beasts behind it…they were all weak, far weaker than expected.
“Sea Emperor’s Horn!!!”
Seeing this, one of the stronger Beast Tamers immediately summoned her pet beast. In the next second, as a tidal wave erupted, a giant, watery horn pierced through the air, shattering the black dragon’s left wing and crushing the hundreds of Royal-Tier pet beasts behind it.
“This Viral Species is quite strong…” Lian Xing observed their battle, her mind evaluating.
Having been severely injured, the black dragon immediately sensed the difference in strength and frantically tried to escape, flapping its remaining wing. Within Snow Flower’s domain, Pet Essence couldn’t be recovered, which meant that Biological Species couldn’t heal themselves.
Once they received a fatal injury, it was game over…
So, the black dragon, flapping its remaining wing, flew low over the group, then sped away.
However, before it could escape…
As the golden-haired girl’s figure came into view, the black dragon froze, its expression turning to fear.
In the next second, it abruptly changed direction, trying to escape in a different direction.
“…”
“…”
“Chase it!!!” Seeing this, the Beast Tamers from the new world finally reacted, sending three Monarch-Tier pet beasts after the black dragon.
Within five minutes, the defenseless mutated Monarch-Tier pet beast was killed…
After returning, the master of the Sea Emperor’s Horn, a cold girl with dark green hair, stored the Monarch-Tier crystal in her void. Then, half of the Beast Tamers glanced at the golden-haired girl in the distance.
Had that mutated Monarch-Tier pet beast been afraid of this supervisor?
Was she strong…?
Meanwhile, the girl who had deployed the mechanical device earlier began retrieving it, but before doing so, she curiously scanned the golden-haired supervisor’s aura. In the next second, her curious expression turned to shock.
“How…how is this possible?”
“What’s going on!?” According to the electronic data, this supervisor was just a newborn Royal-Tier Beast Tamer!
At this level…how dare she enter Snow Flower’s domain!?
And that mutated Monarch being scared off by her aura…it didn’t make sense…
At the same time, seeing the Cycle of Calamity Monarch’s death, Lian Xing shook her head, feeling a bit disappointed…
If not for the Moonwalker Mother’s supervision mission, she would have already wiped out all the Cycle of Calamity remnants here with the Sun Harp. At this rate, how long would it take them to clear this place?
But thankfully, Snow Flower’s aura was getting closer…
There was a simple way to break Snow Flower’s Ice Prison: defeat Snow Flower itself within the domain.
Snow Flower wouldn’t hide or run.
But its frontal combat power, ranked 8th among the 72 Legends…
It was enough to despair the millions of Cycle of Calamity remnants here.
Just at Royal-Tier, it had been given a 7-star threat rating by the Seven Heavens, on par with the Black Moon Emperor wielding Calamity Sun. Its combat power was terrifying.
After that, over the next three days and three nights, the Beast Tamers from the new world encountered 18 waves of Cycle of Calamity remnants and seven teams of Beast Tamers from the original world. To their surprise, the local Beast Tamers, who had initially been wary of their masked auras, became excited the moment they saw the golden-haired supervisor behind them, rushing forward for autographs and photos.
And Lian Xing obliged every request, except for one who wanted to take her stockings and another who wanted to become her online lover…
This strange situation even eased the tension among the group.
It seemed this supervisor was quite famous in this Pet Beast World…?
Everyone seemed to know her.
Was she some kind of idol famous for singing, dancing, and “fevers”?
…
…
As they continued their journey, the air grew colder, and they began to see countless ice statues, both of Cycle of Calamity remnants and Beast Tamers who had come here to hunt them. Seeing this, the beautiful girl with dark green hair summoned her Monarch-Tier Sea Emperor’s Horn, a watery aura enveloping them, creating a viral barrier for her teammates.
“It seems…Snow Flower itself is close…”
“Be careful, everyone. This is a Legend…”
“I’m sure none of us have forgotten how many we lost last time when we faced Qianqiu…”
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
In the next second, under everyone’s horrified gazes, a white light, like a meteor, streaked through their formation, appearing before the golden-haired girl with buns. Its speed was so great that they didn’t even have time to react.
A few seconds later, as the white light faded, a purple-haired woman, riding a snow-white horse, appeared.
The Second Princess of Youyou Leize.
And…
Returning Dust, one of the 72 Legends!!!
Because their auras were masked, they didn’t immediately recognize the horse’s species. But its terrifying speed made all the new world Beast Tamers tense.
“Lian Xing, are your relationship slots full?” the Second Princess asked, glancing at the 17 Beast Tamers. She had secretly checked Lian Xing’s partner list using Thunder Fly’s phone and knew that Lian Xing had 17 empty slots.
With these 17 girls…would it be full now?
Hearing the Second Princess’s question, Lian Xing shook her head.
“Of course not.”
“17 at once? Do you think I’m that promiscuous…?”
“Speaking of which, Second Princess, why are you going this way? Isn’t Snow Flower in the other direction?”
“…”
“…”
If you’re not promiscuous, then who is…!?
Remembering the compromising photos Lian Xing had taken, the Second Princess blushed slightly, then said, her voice serious, “I came here specifically to find you!!”
“I took a look from a distance and realized that I’m probably no match for it, so I…ran away…”
“Tears Maiden and Little Flower Goddess are both blocked outside, and the others aren’t reliable. I can only rely on you~~~”
And you’re proud of running away…? Lian Xing thought.
But her curiosity about Snow Flower had increased.
Just how strong was it to make the Second Princess flee without even fighting?
Snow Flower, ranked 8th among the 72 Legends…
Lian Xing had only seen its information in the future expansion data… She had never encountered it before.
“So, do you want to team up?”
“No, my target isn’t Snow Flower. I have other things to do. You can go play by yourself~~~” Lian Xing refused without hesitation.
A few seconds later, the Second Princess flew away, a puzzled expression on her face.
Did Lian Xing not want to capture Snow Flower!?
How was that possible…!!!
Actually, Lian Xing did plan to deal with Snow Flower, but only after these Beast Tamers from the new world failed…
“…”
“…”
“She’s not hostile towards us. Let’s continue,” the leader of the 17 Beast Tamers, a black-haired woman, said, relieved, then led the group forward.
In their previous missions, besides Emperor-Tier beings, they had rarely encountered such powerful natives.
Finally, half a day later, as the piles of ice statues around them increased, they finally saw that pale, almost translucent figure.
Amidst the falling snow, in the distance…
A white-haired woman in a thin, white burial shroud appeared.
Her shroud was slit to her hip, revealing her bloodless, white legs, the veins beneath her skin a faint, ice-blue, snowflake pattern. A large snowflake-shaped crystal hairpin adorned her long, white hair.
And her eyes were completely white, as if they had no pupils or irises.
Although her eyes were strange, her face was breathtakingly beautiful…
Untainted, like a goddess…
At this moment, as the woman in the burial shroud walked through the snowy landscape…
Even without sensing her aura, the Beast Tamers from the new world felt a chilling cold!!!
This was…
The final boss of their mission—
Snow Flower, the 8th of the 72 Legends!!!
However, this was Snow Flower’s human form, not its true body.
After a few seconds of being captivated by Snow Flower’s beauty, the dark green-haired girl snapped out of her daze and shouted, her voice snapping her teammates out of their trance.
“Defensive formation!!!”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
As brilliant lights flashed, 13 Monarch-Tier pet beasts appeared behind Snow Flower. Meanwhile, noticing the commotion, Snow Flower looked over, its expression indifferent.
In the next second, its beautiful face showed a hint of confusion…
Snow Flower wasn’t surprised by these Beast Tamers’ strength.
It was wondering how they had even entered its domain.
It had set a restriction, no Monarch-Tier pet beasts allowed…
How had these outsiders gotten in…?
“Boom!!!!!”
Instantly, countless combat skills erupted from the Monarch-Tier pet beasts, engulfing Snow Flower. In a flash of lightning and thunder, the snowy ground within a radius of ten thousand meters around the woman in the burial shroud collapsed, a giant crack appearing in the icy ground.
Even Snow Flower’s figure was swallowed by the attack.
However, a few seconds later, as the dust settled, Snow Flower’s unharmed form reappeared.
It hadn’t even moved!!!
But as if it were slow to react, it didn’t retaliate, instead casually brushing some ice dust off its shroud.
“What’s going on?”
“Snow Flower’s hostility…it’s weak…”
Seeing this, the Beast Tamers from the new world looked at each other, confused.
Just then, Lian Xing, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, snapping out of her trance, coughed slightly, her face a bit flushed.
Of course Snow Flower’s hostility was weak…
Because it was an incredibly rare counter-attack type Elemental Species!!!
The number of healing-type pet beasts, minus the number of missile-type pet beasts, minus the number of throwing-type pet beasts, was approximately equal to the number of counter-attack type pet beasts.
Clearly, these Beast Tamers’ attacks hadn’t been enough to trigger Snow Flower’s counter-attack. It had simply skipped a turn.
In the next second, the strongest among them, the black-haired woman, raised her hand. Although she didn’t understand why Snow Flower wasn’t hostile, perhaps a stronger attack would provoke it?
“Boom!!!!!”
Instantly, as the Sea Emperor’s Horn’s fluorescent light blazed, a green water tornado erupted from its giant horn, like a high-pressure water cannon, piercing through the air for over a thousand kilometers. The entire Ice Prison domain trembled, the snowy landscape devastated by the explosive water.
At this moment, all the pet beast teams looked towards the source of the attack in disbelief.
“A Monarch-Tier pet beast!?”
“Are those Cycle of Calamity remnants fighting against Snow Flower itself??”
“…”
“…”
A few dozen seconds later, the earth-shattering green water column dissipated. And under everyone’s horrified gazes, the woman in the burial shroud stood there, unharmed, her expression indifferent, as if she hadn’t even been touched…
What kind of defense was this!?
In the next second, a loud “Boom!!!” echoed.
The Sea Emperor’s Horn’s giant horn, almost a kilometer long, was instantly frozen solid, its aura and Pet Essence drained…
Sensing her pet beast’s death, the dark green-haired girl’s expression froze.
[Legend Arcane Art: Snow Thorns (If Snow Flower is hit without defending, it automatically casts Frozen Hell on a random target within the Ice Prison, considered a 3-second hit.)]
[Talent: Frozen Hell (The frozen target loses a large amount of Pet Essence every second. When their Pet Essence reaches zero, they are permanently frozen, unable to die, return to their pet beast space, or recover Pet Essence.)]
Anyone who knew about this combination would understand why Snow Flower was considered close to a Fallen Species. If anyone dared to attack it, it could instantly freeze all living beings within the Ice Prison.
However, Snow Flower had only used Snow Thorns on the Sea Emperor’s Horn, the one that had attacked it.
Fair and impartial…
This was one of the reasons Lian Xing liked Snow Flower…
At this moment, although the 17 Beast Tamers from the new world were in a desperate situation, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes was still admiring Snow Flower’s beauty, as if she didn’t even care.
“What do we do now?”
“Its ability is unreasonable. We can’t even touch it!”
“There must be a way, like killing it instantly…!” As they whispered among themselves, they all looked at the girl who had just spoken as if she were an idiot.
Killing it instantly…?
What a delusional dream…
Hadn’t they just seen Snow Flower withstand the Sea Emperor’s Horn’s Fluorescent combat skill without even flinching?
It was just a Royal-Tier pet beast…
How could its defense be so high!?
Meanwhile, as they despaired, Lian Xing, the supervisor, naturally knew how to bypass Snow Flower’s defense, but she wouldn’t tell them. She even suspected that the Moonwalker Mother had sent these people here to die. Why else would it not even tell them about Snow Flower’s basic characteristics!?
Soon, it seemed they had made a decision.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!!!”
In the next second, all the Monarch-Tier pet beasts present unleashed their full power, fluorescent and green lights filling the Ice Prison.
This was their final attack…!!!
If they couldn’t defeat Snow Flower with this, they would have to retreat and abandon the mission.
Then, when the one-month deadline arrived, and the portal from the new world reappeared, they would just leave…
However…
Just as they were fantasizing about their escape, Snow Flower’s behavior suddenly changed. As if sensing a threat, the woman in the white shroud casually waved her sleeve, a terrifying, icy aura erupting.
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
A wave of cold swept through the area.
Under the new world Beast Tamers’ horrified gazes, all their pet beasts were instantly frozen solid, turning into ice statues, their Pet Essence completely drained.
At this moment, they finally realized that Snow Flower wasn’t an opponent they could defeat!!!
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!!!”
They immediately abandoned the mission, fleeing like headless chickens, past the golden-haired supervisor, quickly disappearing from sight.
“Don’t run outside the Ice Prison’s range~~~” the golden-haired supervisor reminded them, her voice soft.
She remained motionless, seemingly having no intention of retreating.
Of course, even without Lian Xing’s warning, they didn’t seem to have any way of escaping the Ice Prison.
Half a minute later, after the Beast Tamers from the new world had all fled, Lian Xing looked at the beautiful woman in the white shroud, her expression cold and aloof.
“The 8th Legend…truly powerful~~~”
“It hasn’t even activated Awakening yet, and they’re already helpless…”
An opponent of this level would probably require an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer…
No, with Snow Flower’s unbreakable counter-attack type characteristic, even an ordinary Emperor would struggle.
A 7-star threat, indeed.
And once all the Pet Essence within the Ice Prison was drained, and Snow Flower’s level skyrocketed, breaking through to Monarch-Tier…even the Seven Heavens wouldn’t be able to do anything.
An 8-star pet beast…
By then, this Pet Beast World would be at Snow Flower’s mercy…~~~
But…
For now—
The Moonlight Rabbit could still fight it!!!
At this moment, as Lian Xing was lost in thought, Snow Flower noticed her presence and walked towards her, its long, white legs carrying it across the icy landscape, stopping before the golden-haired girl.
Snow Flower was a head taller than Lian Xing, like a child driving a truck…
After a moment of silent confrontation…
Snow Flower suddenly extended its hand towards the golden-haired girl.
Seeing this, Lian Xing blinked, confused.
Was this Snow Flower asking for something…?
It must have sensed Star Sand’s aura…
Could it be that it wanted Star Sand?
But Lian Xing wouldn’t hand over Star Sand, whose abilities countered Snow Flower’s. She would test it first.
So, after a moment of thought, Lian Xing placed a grain of Star Sand’s sand on Snow Flower’s outstretched hand.
“Plop!”
In the next second, Snow Flower dropped the sand and continued to beckon Lian Xing.
Wait, it wasn’t Star Sand?
Slightly confused, Lian Xing placed a Monarch-Tier Elemental Species crystal on its hand.
Snow Flower still refused, dropping the crystal to the ground.
Now Lian Xing was completely baffled.
“It doesn’t want Star Sand, and it doesn’t want food. Then what does Snow Flower want?”
“…”
“…”
“Could it be my blood…?” Lian Xing suddenly realized.
But why would Snow Flower, an Elemental Species, want her Pet Essence, a Viral Species hybrid’s?
Thinking of this, Lian Xing squeezed out a drop of blood and was about to place it on Snow Flower’s hand.
But in the next second, the woman in the burial shroud recoiled in disgust, even taking three steps back.
“…”
“…”
Seeing Lian Xing’s increasingly confused expression, Snow Flower couldn’t take it anymore. It walked forward, grabbed the Moonlight Rabbit from Lian Xing’s head, then, ignoring the Moonlight Rabbit’s pitiful expression, pried open its mouth and took the Golden Leaf it was chewing on.
Tossing the Moonlight Rabbit aside, Snow Flower lovingly caressed the Golden Leaf. Then, as if remembering something, it took off its snowflake hairpin and gave it to the dumbfounded golden-haired girl as a trade…
[Snow Flower’s hairpin. Holding this allows for Pet Essence recovery within the Ice Prison.]
After completing this forced exchange, Snow Flower tucked the Golden Leaf into its cleavage and happily turned and left.
Amidst the ice and snow, Lian Xing and the Moonlight Rabbit looked at each other, their expressions blank…
The Golden Leaf had been stolen by Snow Flower!!!
