Chapter 216: The Wife’s Post-Nuptial Autobiography
In a guest room near Moonwalker’s palace in Cloud Mist Sea, Silver Dragon and Tears Maiden sat with Lian Xing, a golden-haired beauty in a translucent, creamy aqua bathrobe, sipping tea.
Unlike her usual boisterous energy, her starry eyes held only calm and indifference, as if she had transformed from a girl to a woman overnight.
Half a month had passed since the engagement ceremony, and this was Lian Xing’s first time leaving the palace.
Looking at the golden-haired beauty’s bare shoulders and flawless face, Silver Dragon and Teas Maiden swallowed nervously, their expressions complex.
After all, they had expected Lian Xing to be… worse for wear after spending half a month in there. They hadn’t expected her to appear so composed.
Had Lian Xing’s physical issues been resolved…?
Silver Dragon raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
Despite the supposed “1v4” with four powerful Married Pet Beasts, Lian Xing’s body bore no marks or injuries, her creamy skin even more delicate and soft, as if purified by holy Pet Essence.
This didn’t seem right…
Countless novels depicted damsels in distress after being held captive for half a month. How could she be completely unscathed?
After a long silence, Silver Dragon finally asked, “Lian Xing, are you alright?”
“…”
“…”
“I was. Now I’m not—”
“?”
“Replay refreshes my state daily. Don’t worry…” Lian Xing set down her teacup, her voice flat.
Tears Maiden and Silver Dragon gasped.
So…
Though seemingly unharmed, Lian Xing had been ravaged to the point of… constant reset?
Though her body remained that of a young girl, her spirit was now that of a mature, experienced woman.
What had happened in the palace…?
Actually, it wasn’t just during moments of asphyxiation or spasms that she was reset. Any time Lian Xing showed the slightest hint of enjoyment, or if her Pet Essence fluctuations decreased, her Married Pet Beasts would immediately force Unbreakable Heaven’s Ring to activate Replay, restoring her to her pre-engagement state.
This prevented Lian Xing’s body from… developing.
Her Married Pet Beasts’ experience and… skills were constantly increasing, while Lian Xing remained at level zero.
And the most terrifying part was that the Married Pet Beasts’ refractory periods were also reset by Replay…
Therefore, Lian Xing’s greatest enemy wasn’t her four Married Pet Beasts, but Great Lord Biluo, Unbreakable Heaven’s Ring, residing within her.
After a moment of silence, Tears Maiden suddenly spoke.
“Actually, Lian Xing…”
“We… haven’t had any Married Pet Beasts yet, and it’s about time we cultivated some. Could you… teach us how…?”
“I mean, since you’re so… experienced…”
Tears Maiden’s face flushed as she trailed off.
She was essentially asking—
Can I get a freebie?
Silver Dragon, beside her, face-palmed.
However…
To their surprise, Lian Xing didn’t seem particularly opposed.
She maintained her calm, indifferent smile, as if in a perpetual state of post-coital bliss.
“Next time…”
“I only have half a day off. I have more engagement ceremonies to attend.”
“…”
“…”
Silver Dragon and Tears Maiden gulped.
It wasn’t over yet?
Emperor-Tier Married Pet Beasts were terrifying!
No wonder many Beast Tamers with multiple Married Pet Beasts also had human partners.
It must be a way to relax after the… ordeal…?
Soon, Lian Xing was summoned back by Moonwalker.
She left without hesitation or regret, her expression serene, as if prepared for her execution.
But just as she reached the door, her knees buckled, and she fell to her knees.
The next second, she stood up as if nothing had happened, brushed off her bathrobe, and walked away.
“…”
“…”
Time flew by, and another half a month passed.
A full month had passed since the engagement ceremony.
When Silver Dragon and Tears Maiden saw Lian Xing again, all traces of girlishness were gone. Her every smile and gesture exuded the charm of a mature woman, her posture elegant in a custom-made, creamy aqua satin robe.
She had clearly absorbed a significant amount of Pet Essence, her figure fuller, her smooth, white legs even more slender and delicate.
As Mist Colt, Star Sand, and Calamity Sun returned from their outings, Lian Xing and Moonwalker finally turned their attention to business.
Within a cloud-filled hall in Moonwalker’s palace, Lian Xing and Moonwalker sat on white thrones with massive antlers, the Divine Machine hovering nearby.
Cloud Princess stood below, holding a report, her expression sullen.
“Mother, I’ve been here several times! That Mist Colt keeps blocking the entrance! Even an engagement ceremony shouldn’t delay important matters!!!”
“Please look at this report! Something big is happening in the Moon Soul World!!!”
“…”
“…”
Under Cloud Princess’s resentful gaze, Lian Xing took the report, her expression unchanged.
It detailed the major events of the past year in the Moon Soul World. However, the events of the past month alone filled three times as much space as the previous twelve months combined.
Only major events like Flood changing its course, the Six-pointed Star Banquet, and Drought’s death were recorded.
And this month’s events began around the time of her engagement ceremony with Moonwalker.
[December 20231216]
[Myriad-Level Ancient Emperor Moon Calamity repelled the First Emperor Lotus Concubine Tai Sui, confirmed to be one of Star Concubine Lian Xing’s Married Pet Beasts.]
[Star Concubine Lian Xing’s Married Pet Beast, Monarch-Tier Shining Species Starlight Never Diminishes, Moon Eternal, became a candidate for the Shining Bipoles, code name Star Dew Concubine.]
[Star Concubine Lian Xing’s Married Pet Beast, Emperor-Tier Fallen Species Nether Leaf Dark King’s Court, appeared conjoined with the high-ranking Legend Snow Flower, replacing Drought among the Four Great Calamities, code name Avalanche.]
[Star Concubine Lian Xing recognized as the strongest Beast Tamer of this era.]
[Moonwalker, the Third Guardian and master of Cloud Mist Sea, held an engagement ceremony with Star Concubine Lian Xing.]
[Tai Yin, the First Guardian and foremost of the seventy-two Legends, reappeared on the map.]
[The legendary Beast Tamer Nether Concubine, from millions of years ago, revived, re-contracting First Quarter, master of the Three Saints Palace. However, Flood, one of the Four Great Calamities and her former Married Pet Beast, refused her summons.]
[The legendary Beast Tamer Ice Queen, from millions of years ago, revived, re-contracting Cold Moon, the Fourth Guardian and master of Cold Moon Palace, and forming a contract with her descendant, Heavenly Maiden. Their engagement ceremony will be held in five days.]
[The First Emperor declared war on Nether Concubine, Ice Queen, Star Goddess, and Star Concubine. However, Star Goddess hasn’t revived, raising questions.]
[Why have multiple legendary Beast Tamers from millions of years ago revived simultaneously? Is the order of the Moon Soul World about to collapse?]
[Death Sentence, one of the seventy-two Legends, missing for millennia, appeared in the Tai Yin Kingdom and is currently negotiating with Tai Yin, the First Guardian.]
Moonwalker chuckled softly, seemingly unsurprised.
With the Lunar Divine Festival approaching, all sorts of strange beings were emerging.
However…
Lian Xing’s eyes narrowed.
Tai Yin?
Death Sentence?
These two pieces of information were far more shocking than the revival of ancient Beast Tamers.
Her past life’s only Legend and the Legend she currently desired most were together…
She had to visit the Tai Yin Kingdom.
As for Heavenly Maiden’s engagement…?
Uh…
None of her business.
Lian Xing had a slight fondness for Heavenly Maiden; everyone liked beautiful people.
But it wasn’t enough to crash her engagement.
Besides, she couldn’t even handle her own Married Pet Beasts, let alone add more to the mix…
“Darling, are this Ice Queen and Nether Concubine strong? Are they stronger than Lotus Concubine Tai Sui?” Lian Xing asked casually.
“In terms of individual combat power, Lotus Concubine Tai Sui is undoubtedly the strongest. But Beast Tamers are tricky due to their diverse lineups. It’s best to avoid conflict with them.”
“And one more thing: since Lotus Concubine Tai Sui also declared war on Star Goddess, it means Star Goddess has likely contacted Sharp Edge Seven King Mother. If Seven King Mother regains her Triple Awakening, no one in this world can stop her…”
Moonwalker paused, clearly thinking of Lian Xing’s now-weakened Star Pole Awakening.
Lian Xing could no longer use the Eleventh Zodiac’s power to activate Starlight Never Diminishes, Moon Eternal’s Triple Awakening.
With her reduced power, the Shining Rabbit was no longer a top-tier combatant…
Meanwhile, Cloud Princess, standing below, was practically fuming.
This Star Concubine dared to call Moonwalker “darling”!? Unforgivable!
She felt like she was wearing a bright green hat.
And when Lian Xing and Moonwalker, having important matters to discuss, waved her away dismissively, Cloud Princess’s expression turned thunderous as she retreated.
As Cloud Princess left, Lian Xing turned to Moonwalker.
“Wife, what’s this Lunar Divine Festival about? Can even dead people be revived if they receive an invitation?”
“…”
“…”
“Technically, Beast Tamers don’t truly die. When their lifespan ends, they are ‘retrieved’ by a certain being, similar to the Eleventh Zodiac. This Lunar Divine Festival is organized by them, so naturally, they would revive former top Beast Tamers.”
“Though I don’t know the details, I heard from Tai Yin that the Lunar Divine Festival is the only way for humans to become gods in the Moon Soul World. If you have the chance, you should try to win—”
“It might even solve your lifespan issue~~~” the Divine Machine chimed in, eager to please.
Lian Xing fell silent.
So, she not only had to defeat Lotus Concubine Tai Sui, but also former legendary Beast Tamers?
Ice Queen, Nether Concubine, Star Goddess—all were her opponents…
But could she, with her current strength, truly defeat these ancient legends?
Less than a week remained until the Lunar Divine Festival…
***
Moon Soul World, Tai Yin Kingdom.
Technically, the Tai Yin Kingdom wasn’t on the Moon Soul World map, but a Bubble World residing within Tai Yin, the First Guardian.
It moved with Tai Yin, its aura appearing wherever she went.
Under the silver-haired woman’s watchful smile, a white, fiery phoenix with three tails rampaged through the Tai Yin Kingdom, its massive body covering the sky, turning everything to white ash.
However, Tai Yin, a silver-haired woman with a moon pendant, remained unfazed, even smiling faintly as her subjects were slaughtered.
“How interesting. A Fallen Species on the verge of Emperor-Tier, rampaging before the Lunar Divine Festival…”
“And it’s working with Death Sentence, the twelfth-ranked Legend, and the only stocking-type Weapon Species!!!”
“And that stocking even carries the aura of a True Spirit…”
“So, which legendary Beast Tamer’s abandoned Pet Beasts are you?”
