Chapter 122: “Moon Rabbit, Stop Pretending!!”
Moonlight Rabbit diligently watched videos of throwing-type pet beasts battling in the Youyou Leize virtual battle region every day. Although there was only one Monarch-Tier throwing-type pet beast, and its battle records were from centuries ago, it still watched with great interest.
Golden Leaf diligently consumed ten Royal-Tier crystals daily, strengthening its dual 4th and 5th stage Arcane Arts. It hadn’t mastered Sheathing yet, but its aura was increasing significantly. It also served as a convenient package opener.
Also, since Lian Xing kept it well-fed, even seeing the Heaven-Gracing Curtain equipped with three Crimson combat skills and the Mist Colt consuming a Monarch-Tier crystal didn’t elicit any complaints.
Cloud Dream Calamity, besides its weekly sparring sessions with Ephemeral, occasionally participated in the Alliance Competition in its Juvenile Mist Colt form.
Star Sand, due to its inability to level up, had been sent by Lian Xing to solo Royal-Tier instances in Youyou Leize, spending its days battling in the virtual world. If not for the highly compatible Red Quality combat skill, [Death Sentence], it wouldn’t even be able to get past the first monster in the instance.
Four months passed quickly with this training regimen.
And after Lian Xing’s 8-win streak for the “Measure Your Code” team, they finally encountered one of the kings of the Beast Tamer Alliance.
The Monday team, Moon Princess!!!
At this moment, in the 2nd-level Beast Tamer Alliance Competition livestream, viewers from countless regions, including Baiyue Province, had gathered.
On the magnificent stage sat two familiar figures.
One of them was Xiao Jie, the commentator from Lian Xing’s first match.
And the other was the captain of the 2nd-ranked team, Inverted City.
She was a woman with fiery red hair styled in a high bun, her eyebrows also red, her skin fair, her fox-like eyes incredibly alluring. She wore a tight-fitting red cheongsam with a slit that reached her armpit, her ample bosom practically spilling out onto the commentary desk, her sultry appearance captivating many young viewers.
Even Xiao Jie beside her couldn’t help but steal glances, her mouth watering.
“Captain Chiyu, what brings you here to commentate today?”
“You didn’t respond to the official invitations several times before…” At this moment, facing Xiao Jie’s attempt to distract her, the red-haired woman, known as Captain Chiyu, simply ignored her. After all, before retiring, Xiao Jie had only been a member of a mediocre team ranked around 30th. In Chiyu’s eyes, there was no need to even acknowledge her.
Xiao Jie’s expression turned awkward.
And the red-haired woman, receiving a warning from the backstage staff, casually replied, “I’m free…”
But she didn’t even turn her head, her gaze fixed on the center of the stage.
Meanwhile, the livestream chat was bizarrely criticizing Xiao Jie for her low EQ and insensitivity.
Although Inverted City was ranked second, they were only 5 points ahead of Dead Ash and 8 points ahead of Monday. And they still had to face the 1st-ranked Shining Girls and Dead Ash.
A single mistake, and Inverted City’s ranking could drop to fourth.
In this situation, forgetting about the unstoppable Dead Ash team, they could still influence the outcome of the match against Monday.
In other words, she was here specifically to commentate because she was interested in Moon Princess.
It was like an ambiguous relationship, just one step away from becoming official…
Did they really need to ask about such an obvious thing?
“…”
“…”
Seeing the absurd comments and analyses, Xiao Jie’s eye twitched, her mind screaming in frustration. They, as commentators, only paid attention to the match schedule and rankings. Who the hell cared about the participants’ inner thoughts…? These fans were too much…
Of course, facing Captain Chiyu, whose popularity spanned eight thousand regions, whose fans could drown her ancestors’ graves with their spit, Xiao Jie didn’t dare to complain out loud.
But that figure and that outfit…tsk, tsk…if she didn’t know about Chiyu’s terrible personality, she might have been smitten…
As Xiao Jie fantasized about taking revenge on Chiyu in bed, she obediently kept quiet and quickly changed the subject.
“Ahem, let’s introduce the participants.”
“First, the team sponsored by the Great Lord Biluo, ‘I’ll Measure Your Code.’ After the arrival of their rising star, Moon Rabbit, in the latter half of the season, they’ve been on a winning streak, climbing from 15th to 7th place, just one step away from representing the Beast Tamer Alliance in the Interdimensional Grand Finals!!!”
“Of course, although they’re currently 7th, their ranking will probably drop to around 11th or 12th by the end of the season. I wonder if you’ve seen their schedule. It’s quite interesting. After facing Moon Princess today, they’ll also be facing Inverted City, Shining Girls, and Dead Ash. In this dire situation, not being completely shut out would be a victory~~~”
Xiao Jie’s commentary was objective, echoing the concerns of the Baiyue Province viewers. Although the “Measure Your Code” team’s ranking was high, their overall strength was only barely…within the top ten. Against stronger teams, they would be exposed, just like in their previous match against the Soul Hunters, where they had barely won 7:3. If not for Moon Rabbit, they would have been shut out.
And the next four teams…each one was a level above the Soul Hunters!!!
“Next, the 4th-ranked Monday team!!!!”
“Moon Princess, the daughter of the Hidden Moon Marquis, a woman with the blood of an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer, at just 22 years old, she’s already at the pinnacle of the Beast Tamer Alliance Competition, the dream lover of countless young girls!!!” As Xiao Jie finished speaking, she nervously glanced at the chat.
She had praised Moon Princess so much…she shouldn’t be attacked by her fans, right?
But she quickly looked away, afraid of exploding from anger.
The chat was filled with insults…
The fans were all saying that Moon Princess had achieved her current status through her own hard work. Even the Hidden Moon Marquis’s help had only accounted for 1%, while her own efforts accounted for 99%, so Xiao Jie shouldn’t keep mentioning her bloodline…
Heh~~~ Xiao Jie chuckled inwardly. What do you know?
“…”
“…”
“Whoosh, whoosh——!!!”
A moment later, with a flash of light, the members of the Monday team and the “Measure Your Code” team appeared on opposite sides of the stage. The “Measure Your Code” team members, including Lian Xing, were all wearing the standard Alliance uniform.
And on the other side, the woman with crescent moon-shaped eyes, her long, silky golden hair flowing to the ground, dressed in a dreamlike purple court dress, her aura alone making the “Measure Your Code” team members feel… short of breath…
This was the power of… Emperor’s blood…!!!
However…
At this moment, while the other “Measure Your Code” team members’ expressions were grim, the golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes, also with long golden hair, remained unfazed.
True Emperor’s blood and the blood of an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer…there was a difference.
Lian Xing could tell at a glance that Moon Princess wasn’t a hybrid. This meant that she wasn’t the product of the Hidden Moon Marquis and a pet beast. Her other parent must have been an ordinary Beast Tamer…
The purity of her genes and bloodline…it had been diluted…
Meanwhile, as Lian Xing observed Moon Princess, Moon Princess was also looking at her with a subtle smile.
“So…seeing me in person…are you disappointed…?”
“I’m curious…how long do you plan to keep up this act…? Don’t you even want to reach the top five?”
“…”
“…”
Under everyone’s gaze, Moon Princess’s sudden words stunned everyone.
Even Xiao Jie, the commentator, frowned in confusion.
Who was Moon Princess talking to?
And who was she looking at…?
Because of Moon Princess’s unusual crescent moon-shaped eyes, it was difficult to tell where she was looking.
But it was obviously directed at Moon Rabbit.
However, under everyone’s gaze, Lian Xing pretended to be oblivious, like an innocent and naive newborn, her expression blank, naturally not arousing any suspicion.
Seeing this, Moon Princess chuckled coldly and didn’t press further.
…
…
Meanwhile, in the 8th-level region, Baiyue Province…
As Moon Princess’s cryptic words echoed, although most viewers were confused, the atmosphere in Baiyue Province became tense…
In the Youlan Academy livestream, Tao Wan and Chi Yan exchanged glances, a realization dawning on them.
“This Moon Princess…could it be that she noticed…Little Star is hiding her true strength…?”
“Probably…”
“…”
“…”
As her former teammates, they knew Lian Xing’s personality too well.
If she could defeat an opponent with 10% of her strength, she would never use 10.1%.
And this famous Moon Princess, just from her demeanor, she was clearly different from other Beast Tamers. It wouldn’t be surprising if she had sensed Lian Xing’s true strength.
They wondered if Lian Xing would reveal her true power against her…
But no matter what, Lian Xing would never let her pet beasts lose on purpose, whether in reality or in the virtual world. That was absolute…!!!
At the same time, in Youyou Leize…
Locked deep within a palace, the lightning-wreathed girl watched the livestream, gently stroking the pink halo in her arms. The screen displayed the 2nd-level Beast Tamer Alliance Competition!!!
Although she was grounded, she could still watch the livestream, just not go out or log into the virtual battle space.
“…”
“…”
“This woman is strong!!!” Ephemeral said, its aura fluctuating as it saw Moon Princess.
Thunder Fly nodded in agreement.
“Yes~~”
“But she’s not strong enough…”
“So…she’s not the opponent Little Star is waiting for—”
Hearing Thunder Fly’s words, Ephemeral glanced at her.
In its long life, spanning tens of thousands of years, this was the first time it had encountered a Beast Tamer like this. After contracting a Legend, not only had she not bragged about it, she had completely hidden it, not even telling her own mother.
Actually, Thunder Fly had already successfully contracted with Ephemeral, but she hadn’t told Lian Xing yet.
She could sense that Little Star’s true goal wasn’t just a Green Quality combat skill, but something more important, something for which she was even willing to give away one of the 72 Legends.
So, since Lian Xing hadn’t revealed her plan yet, Thunder Fly wouldn’t interfere, nor would she publicly acknowledge their contract in the white deer space.
“Speaking of which, that Ancient Juvenile Species that’s been causing a stir in the Beast Tamer Alliance…that’s Little Star’s true target, right?”
“Two more months…”
“And we’ll finally see Little Star’s true lineup…!!!” Under Ephemeral’s curious and Thunder Fly’s excited gazes, the two teams’ lineups were finally revealed.
“I’ll Measure Your Code,” their strategy unchanged. Black Magpie’s daughter and Little Sheep, the girl with pink buns, would be participating in the 3v3 Rotation Battle, Baimu, who was almost over the age limit, would be responsible for the 1v1 Single Pet Battle, and Lian Xing, once again, would be using the Mid-Tier Mist Colt in the 4v4 Hell Survival.
And finally, the main event, Captain Zi Ye and Black Magpie’s wife, two Royal-Tier pet beasts capable of Awakening!!
However…
In the next second, as the Monday team’s lineup was revealed, almost everyone’s expression froze.
Even Xiao Jie and Chiyu, the commentators, were stunned, unable to comprehend.
The Baiyue Province viewers’ predictions had come true.
At this moment—
Moon Princess…all four of her Royal-Tier pet beasts were in the 4v4 Hell Survival lineup!!!
And her eyes, narrowed into crescents, were fixed on Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, a subtle smile on her lips.
“Moon Rabbit, stop pretending. Use your full power~~~”
“I won’t let you act your way into the top five~~~~”
“…”
“…”
The Beast Tamer Alliance was in an uproar!!!
