Chapter 182: Marrying Moonlight Rabbit
— Moon Soul World/New World, 20231216 —
After leaving behind a legendary legacy in her original Pet Beast World, Lian Xing had stepped into the new world, the so-called Sanctuary, a place coveted by countless Emperors. Although it was called a 1st-level sanctuary in her old world, Lian Xing sensed something amiss the moment she crossed the bubble wall.
The term “sanctuary” usually referred to a specific area within a world.
But for a sanctuary to be larger than the world itself.
That was illogical.
Standing in the vast, empty sky of the new world, the golden-haired girl took a deep breath of the dense Pet Essence, her starry eyes scanning the surroundings in disbelief. Since becoming a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer, her vision could encompass over a dozen regions at once.
But here, in the new world, besides the endless sea of clouds, she couldn’t see anything!!
Not even land or oceans…
If a Commander-Tier Beast Tamer without a flying pet beast arrived here, they would probably fall to their deaths.
“Ding, dong, ding, dong…”
“Ding, dong, ding, dong…”
Suddenly, Lian Xing’s phone buzzed with notifications.
She picked it up, confused.
She had already ascended to the new world. Who could possibly send her messages from her old world? This was practically interdimensional communication…
However, as Lian Xing opened her account, she found thousands of new friend requests.
“Little Sister Lian Xing, I heard you’ve come to our world?”
“Lady Lian Xing, want to have a baby with me? [Attached: Sexy leg selfie]”
“Star Concubine, come to our Three Saints Palace! We’ll protect you~~~”
“Ignore that bitch Jade Lady! Delete her from your friend list!!”
“What’s going on? I just arrived, and my identity is already exposed…?” Lian Xing muttered, puzzled.
After reading a few friend requests, Lian Xing realized they were all connected to Jade Lady.
So that’s how they knew she had left.
Were they all Lover’s consorts? She had expected insults after calling them “swine,” but they were either flattering her or proposing.
Lian Xing deleted the requests and activated the deer antler ring from Moonwalker Mother. “Mother, I’ve arrived. Can you sense me?”
The ring flickered. “Little Star, welcome! I’m dealing with Flood and that Ancient Species. I can’t meet yet. Explore the Cloud Mist Sea, join Emperor competitions, or find Legends. This ring protects you. Check the map!”
A holographic map appeared, showing her old world as a tiny dot. The Cloud Mist Sea was vast, even her enhanced vision couldn’t grasp its scale. A red arrow, marked with a white exclamation point, was leaving the area – Flood, with Moon Calamity above it.
“It took Flood a month to cross that distance at that speed. I can’t let Mist Colt wander aimlessly. I need a base and Star Gates to connect this world.” She looked at the nearest location.
[Mist Marsh: Subordinate to the Third Sanctuary Guardian. Four Sovereign-Tier Emperors.]
Four Sovereign-Tier Emperors.
Half of her old world’s total and hundreds of similar locations within the Cloud Mist Sea.
Lian Xing decided to head to Mist Marsh, seeking a teleportation array.
“Whoosh—” Dreamflow Sunset Glow sped through the clouds. Lian Xing, watching the map, realized that despite its speed, they weren’t even moving a pixel.
“This world is too big. It’ll take months to reach Mist Marsh. I’ll miss Recreate’s reincarnation.”
“Boom, boom!!!!!” A deafening roar came from behind. Lian Xing turned to see a massive mechanical airship approaching, its speed dwarfing Dreamflow Sunset Glow’s. As they watched, the airship, made of mechanical parts, powered by Emperor-Tier crystals, flew past.
“I want to get on! Stop! Let me on!” Lian Xing shouted, waving. She had been planning to force her way onto the airship.
But, unexpectedly, the airship stopped. As the steam-powered hatch opened, a Monarch-Tier Beast Tamer in a black miniskirt and a work uniform emerged. She looked Lian Xing up and down, then said indifferently, “One Monarch-Tier crystal for one stop, one Emperor-Tier crystal for twenty stops. Double fare for boarding mid-route.”
Lian Xing’s eyes lit up.
Two Monarch-Tier crystals to board?
She could travel to the end of the new world with her current resources! She had collected countless crystals from Flood’s lice, which had later been offered to the Seven Heavens.
So, under the Monarch-Tier attendant’s curious gaze, Lian Xing handed over two Monarch-Tier crystals and entered the airship. The interior reminded her of public transportation on Earth, route maps displayed above each door. The next stop was Mist Marsh.
But since I’m on this airship, wouldn’t it be more convenient to establish a Star Gate in a larger city further away…? Lian Xing pondered as she sat down.
“Wow, you’re so brave! Traveling alone at Royal-Tier…”
“Aren’t you afraid of never reaching the next city?” a black-haired girl in a dark grey uniform and a ponytail asked curiously. She was a Monarch-Tier Beast Tamer, barely 20 years old.
Lian Xing blinked, then fabricated a story, “I was traveling with my companions, and I needed to pee, so I left the airship for a moment, and then I encountered Flood! And those ungrateful bastards just left me there! I almost died!!!”
“…”
“…”
“Uh, don’t airships have…restrooms…?” the black-haired girl asked after a long silence.
Lian Xing’s story…she understood every word, but the peeing part didn’t make sense.
And Lian Xing, with a knowing look, said,
“You’ll understand when you’re older~~~”
Then, ignoring her confused neighbor, she casually crossed her legs, her smooth, white stockings on display, and picked up a newspaper.
[Flood suddenly changes course, thousands of cities in Cloud Mist Sea affected, heavy casualties.]
[A new Ancient Species appears, subdues Flood, and rides it, continuing its erratic trajectory.]
[Flood and the new Ancient Species are predicted to collide with the Three Saints Palace, the alliance of the three Legends (Qianqiu, Lover, First Quarter), in one year.]
[Snow Flower, ranked 8th among the 72 Legends, has appeared and is currently wandering near the Cloud Mist Sea, triggering a search frenzy among Beast Tamers. (According to reports, Snow Flower possesses a mutated Weapon Species and is close to Monarch-Tier. Beast Tamers below Emperor-Tier should avoid contact.)]
As Lian Xing read the newspaper, the black-haired girl beside her was also observing her. Although she had already labeled Lian Xing a pervert, she couldn’t resist asking,
“People are saying that Ancient Species’s level is over ten thousand, even the Third Sanctuary Guardian couldn’t capture it. The higher-ups at Three Saints Palace must be panicking…”
“I wonder what its original species is. I’m so curious! Which species did it evolve from?”
“And after they figure it out, that species’s price will probably skyrocket! I should have bought some in advance…”
Hearing this, Lian Xing nodded in agreement.
Whenever an Ancient Species appeared, its initial form’s price would skyrocket, sometimes even surpassing Super Rare Species. After all, normal Beast Tamers wouldn’t dream of evolving an Ancient Species. Even if its path was blocked, its potential and unique characteristics, including its bloodline combat skill, remained.
Unfortunately, this Ancient Species wasn’t a Moonlight Rabbit…
Because the Moonlight Rabbit’s Ancient Species path had been destroyed by a bug during her transmigration in Pet Beast Evolution Battle.
But she still had its bloodline combat skill…
“By the way, aren’t you interested in seeing Snow Flower? You only paid for two stops. Are you getting off at Mist Marsh?” the black-haired girl asked.
“I might buy a few more tickets. But I’m not interested in Snow Flower. Even Emperor-Tier Beast Tamers can’t deal with it. What can I, a Royal-Tier, do? If I’m accidentally killed by the aftershock, no one can revive me.” Lian Xing shook her head.
Snow Flower hadn’t reached Monarch-Tier yet. She could capture it after the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon reached Monarch-Tier.
But the black-haired girl chuckled. “You don’t understand. I’m going to Cloud Mirror City, the largest city nearby. I heard its city lord is planning to capture Snow Flower. It’s a renowned Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor. Capturing Snow Flower should be easy for it!!”
“And Cloud Mirror City will probably send out many airships. If I can get a ticket, I can witness a battle between titans…~~~”
As the black-haired girl finished speaking, Lian Xing’s eyes widened, as if she were a naive village girl…
But the moment she turned away, her expression turned grim.
A Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor, with Snow Flower and Golden Leaf’s current strength, they couldn’t possibly win…
So, after a moment of thought, Lian Xing took out an Emperor-Tier crystal and said, under the black-haired girl and the Monarch-Tier attendant’s shocked gazes, “17 more stops, to Cloud Mirror City.”
“How did you get an Emperor-Tier crystal at Royal-Tier…?” the black-haired girl asked, stunned.
“I…found it~~~”
With that, Lian Xing stopped talking and entered Cloud and Dream’s Promise’s Viral Space.
At this moment, inside the dreamlike, emerald green, mist-filled space…
Lian Xing looked at the white, lop-eared Moonlight Rabbit sitting in a corner.
She chuckled and walked over.
“What’s wrong, darling? Still sulking?”
“Look, Mommy brought you 50 Limit-Breaking Seeds from the Seven Heavens. Eat them all~~~”
[Not eating.]
“Why not? They’ll make you stronger! Don’t you want to be stronger?”
[You just want me to protect Golden Leaf and Snow Flower. I refuse.] the Moonlight Rabbit said stubbornly.
Lian Xing blinked, a bit exasperated.
“Who said that? You become stronger for yourself! Or to protect Mommy!!”
[Heh.]
“Wait, remember when you tried to touch Mommy, and Recreate stopped you?”
“That’s because you weren’t strong enough!”
“If you’re so strong that nothing can stop you, then no pet beast can interfere, right?”
“Then you can do whatever you want to Mommy, and I won’t be able to resist~~”
“And once you reach Monarch-Tier, why would I even resist? I’ll gladly make you my first married pet beast, right!?” As Lian Xing finished her manipulative speech, the anger in Moonlight Rabbit’s eyes faded, replaced by a spark of interest.
A married pet beast was different from an ordinary pet beast.
Changing a pet beast contract to a marriage contract meant that the relationship between master and pet beast changed from master-servant to lovers. Not only would the pet beast’s range and freedom increase, but it could also act independently, without its master’s permission.
And more importantly, a married pet beast could even give commands to other pet beasts.
This meant that it could bully its master whenever it wanted, and the other pet beasts could only watch, unable to interfere.
However, the Moonlight Rabbit quickly suppressed its excitement and said warily,
[Master, you’re right, but I don’t trust you. You’re a liar.]
[I want to sign the marriage contract first, then break through to Monarch-Tier before we consummate our relationship.]
[Pet beasts don’t lie.]
At this moment, as the Moonlight Rabbit’s serious words echoed, Lian Xing’s confident expression crumbled.
She had already prepared various excuses for after the Moonlight Rabbit reached Monarch-Tier, but she hadn’t expected it to see through her plan.
“Fine, fine, I’ll give you the marriage contract!!!” Lian Xing said, defeated.
It was just selling her body…it wasn’t a big deal…
As long as it served her evolutionary goals, she wouldn’t even hesitate to sacrifice…her own mother!!!
So, under Lian Xing’s nervous gaze, the small Moonlight Rabbit, enveloped in a bright light, transformed into the Royal-Tier Eight-Star Bewitching Moon. However, unlike before, it appeared in its half-human form.
The woman wore white, furry thigh-high stockings and a translucent, off-the-shoulder top, her long, white hair flowing like a cape. Eight soft, petal-like ears drooped on either side of her head, and her beautiful face and exquisite features made Lian Xing speechless…
Meanwhile, Star Sand, within Lian Xing, was drooling…
This was the first time they had seen Moonlight Rabbit’s human form.
Shining Species were truly beautiful…
Maybe I should just give in now, before it even reaches Monarch-Tier…? Lian Xing thought, a hint of regret.
But in the next second, she was pulled into the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s embrace, its warm aura making her dizzy…
And then, as their lips met, an illusory mark appeared on the Moonlight Rabbit’s life crystal.
[Marriage contract slot -1, remaining slots: 2]
[Range increased tenfold, but you can no longer sense Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s thoughts.]
[Pregnancy probability greatly increased.]
“…”
“…”
A moment later, Lian Xing, released by the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, collapsed into its arms, her body limp. Although Lian Xing was now…fair game, Moonlight Rabbit kept its promise, not touching her further before reaching Monarch-Tier.
Once again proving that pet beasts didn’t lie…
And the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s mood had also improved significantly.
[Eclipse]
“Crunch—”
50 Limit-Breaking Seeds were swallowed whole.
Normally, a main battle pet beast wouldn’t monopolize all the Limit-Breaking Seeds, usually splitting them with the other pet beasts in the lineup.
But Moonlight Rabbit was different. It was a Shining Species, the designated MVP, the wielder of Calamity Sun.
Without Moonlight Rabbit, Mist Colt, Star Sand, and the Great Lord Biluo wouldn’t even be able to scratch a Sovereign-Tier Emperor.
Soon, five new Arcane Art panels appeared before Lian Xing.
And with just a glance, Lian Xing was shocked by the Shining Species’s fifth-stage Arcane Arts.
Fifth-stage Arcane Arts, also known as Ultimate Arcane Arts. Sometimes, to fulfill early evolution requirements, Beast Tamers had to sacrifice these, which was a headache for many.
And now, Moonlight Rabbit had finally obtained its Ultimate Arcane Arts, two of them at once.
