Chapter 181: Moonlight Rabbit’s Jealousy, Forced Evolution into a Married Pet Beast!
2nd-level region, Beast Tamer Alliance. A month had passed since Flood’s departure. The crimson sea in the sky had mostly dissipated. As the Fallen Pet Essence particles dispersed, the Emperor-Tier Mechanical Species pet beasts of the surviving powers began their work, rebuilding the cities. However, due to Flood’s lingering aura, weaker pet beasts couldn’t leave their designated areas.
Meanwhile, inside the Jade Face Spring at the Beast Tamer Alliance Headquarters…
“Wuwuwu, no, I was wrong! I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have accepted Snow Flower’s kiss…”
“I shouldn’t have made that lewd and inviting expression. I should have looked more disgusted. Wuwuwu, please stop tormenting me…”
As Silver Dragon, the Hidden Moon Marquis, and Tears Maiden arrived at the entrance of the Jade Face Spring, they heard these embarrassing sounds.
It was clearly Lian Xing’s voice.
Silver Dragon’s face turned crimson, her body trembling, her fists clenched.
Who…who was doing this to Lian Xing…!?
Even she hadn’t…
Meanwhile, Tears Maiden’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Uh…it seems we came at a bad time… Let’s come back later…” the Hidden Moon Marquis said awkwardly, scratching her cheek. She hadn’t expected Lian Xing to be doing that in the Jade Face Spring. Was the Jade Face Spring even usable now?
No, wait, shouldn’t they increase the price…?
“It’s fine, let’s go in. Although this is private, I’m Lian Xing’s wife, so there’s no need to avoid her. In fact, as her wife, I have a duty to check on her…” Tears Maiden said, her voice slightly trembling, her words incoherent…
The Hidden Moon Marquis tried to dissuade her, but Tears Maiden ignored her, Silver Dragon’s face also turning red. So, the three of them entered the Jade Face Spring, holding their breath.
In the next second, they were met with a highly inappropriate scene.
The golden-haired girl was being held down in the water by a golden, glowing rabbit, its countless ears, like tentacles, moving all over her body. And Lian Xing, like someone trapped in a coffin, struggled and thrashed, her eyes unfocused, her expression one of utter torment…
Seeing the three figures at the entrance, Lian Xing’s eyes snapped open, and she struggled even more frantically, her body thrashing like a fish out of water…
“…”
“…”
A few seconds later, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon also noticed the newcomers, but it didn’t release Lian Xing, instead pulling her closer protectively, like a dog guarding its food…
Activating Shining Awakening just to bully its master?
What a strange pet beast…
“Whoosh!”
In the next second, a mysterious aura emanated from Tears Maiden. Without warning, the Drunken Glaze Eight-Star Bewitching Moon was teleported three meters away. Before it could even react, Lian Xing, gathering her Pet Essence, recalled it to her pet beast space.
“Grrrr!!!” The Moonlight Rabbit growled angrily within Lian Xing.
Lian Xing, coughing and sputtering, her face red, climbed out of the water and explained, “Cough, cough…”
“It’s not what you think. I wasn’t being assaulted by my own pet beast. I was just playing with it. After all, managing a pet beast’s mood is also a Beast Tamer’s responsibility…”
“Those who understand, they understand. No need to explain to those who don’t…” Lian Xing said, forcing a smile under their strange gazes.
Then, she glanced at Tears Maiden.
That being within her…it was that one, right…?
“Lian Xing, this lord has something important to discuss with you. Could you refrain from playing with your pet beast for now?” Tears Maiden said, her voice slightly strained, emphasizing the word “playing.”
A mechanical butterfly with steel wings emerged from her flowing, watery hair. Its small body was covered in intricate gears and meticulously crafted parts. Seeing this thing, the culprit behind its sudden teleportation, the Moonlight Rabbit within Lian Xing roared angrily.
This was—
Recreate, the leader of the Seven Heavens, one of the 72 Legends…
“I have something to discuss with the Star Concubine. Please excuse us—”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”
In the next second, as the steel butterfly’s voice echoed, Silver Dragon, the Hidden Moon Marquis, and Tears Maiden were teleported away without warning.
The Jade Face Spring was now empty, only the steel butterfly and the golden-haired girl remained.
Then, the steel butterfly, its wings fluttering, said, “Star Concubine, I have a request…”
“I plan to use my death to activate my once-in-a-lifetime Legend Arcane Art, reviving all the beings in Baiyue Province who were killed by Flood.”
“At the cost of my own life, I will break through Flood’s level and aura.”
“And after my death, I will be reborn in the new world in six months. Because the gate between our Pet Beast World and the new world has been broken, my next reincarnation won’t be here.”
“Six months later, I will initiate a Speed Puzzle in the new world.”
“And then–I want you to retrieve me…”
“Star Concubine, don’t refuse yet. I know you won’t agree, because your lineup doesn’t need a Mechanical Species, and you probably think a Speed Puzzle is too troublesome, having to temporarily abandon your pet beasts and start over. It requires a lot of preparation…”
“But what if I, a high-ranking Legend, willingly become a mechanical part in your lineup?”
“…”
“…”
As the steel butterfly finished speaking, Lian Xing’s initially indifferent expression turned to shock.
Recreate, one of the 72 Legends, it wanted to become a part in her next life!?
The Celestial Anchor, the Great Lord Biluo, it still had two part slots available.
If it absorbed Recreate, a Legend…just how powerful would it become…? She couldn’t even imagine.
Then she could just kill NPCs, and have them respawn…!!!
But after a moment of hesitation, Lian Xing shook her head.
“Recreate, your request is tempting, but I’ll have to refuse…”
“I can’t abandon any of my pet beasts. To retrieve a former pet beast, I would have to abandon those I contracted during the competition. As a Beast Tamer, I can’t do that.”
“…”
“…”
“I see…”
“Then farewell Star Concubine and Sister Star Sand…” Recreate said, its voice filled with a mixture of admiration and resignation, as it lowered its head.
Then, with a flicker of its wings, it vanished.
Lian Xing sighed.
Soon, after cleaning Moonlight Rabbit’s ears, she left the Jade Face Spring.
Seeing that only the golden-haired girl had emerged, Tears Maiden shook her head helplessly. She had already discussed Lian Xing’s personality with Recreate, but it had still insisted on asking personally.
As expected…
Lian Xing had refused.
“…”
“…”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!!!”
Suddenly, a torrential downpour of silvery-white rain began to fall from the sky above the Beast Tamer Alliance, spreading throughout the Pet Beast World. As Flood’s terrifying Pet Essence was washed away, mountains and rivers reappeared, and countless beings, their bodies glowing, were revived, looking around in confusion.
Seeing this miraculous scene, the four of them fell silent.
Even after being rejected, Recreate had still activated its Arcane Art.
At the cost of its own life, it had restored the Pet Beast World to its state before Flood’s arrival.
After a moment of silence, Silver Dragon asked, “Lian Xing, you’re not going to the new world, are you?”
“…”
“…”
“Yes, I am—”
“Huh? But you rejected Recreate’s request, right? Then why not stay here a little longer, leave behind some offspring before you go?” Tears Maiden asked, her gaze shifting slightly.
Silver Dragon nodded in agreement.
However, Lian Xing tilted her head, confused.
“Is the Speed Puzzle that important?”
“Only those who are weaker than the host need to participate. Since I’m stronger, why should I?”
“And why are you two looking at me like that? I’m not even 17 yet. Are you planning to do something to me…?” As Lian Xing finished speaking, both Tears Maiden and Silver Dragon looked away, embarrassed.
Lian Xing wouldn’t participate in any Speed Puzzle.
But she wasn’t going to let Recreate go.
She would just have to cause some trouble in the new world, wouldn’t she…?
Besides, there were no more worthy opponents left in this Pet Beast World, not even a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor. Staying here would only hinder her evolution.
[427622, the Fallen Species Emperor, Flood, from the new world, descended upon this world, destroying millions of regions, causing countless casualties.]
[427622, Star Concubine Lian Xing, from Baiyue Province, joined forces with Snow Flower and repelled Flood.]
[427622, Recreate, the Great Emperor of the Seven Heavens, sacrificed itself to revive all living beings.]
[427622, Star Concubine embarks on a journey to the new world.]
One month later…
Beast Tamer Alliance’s subordinate region, Baiyue Province.
As a faint aura flickered, Lian Xing’s former teammates from Youlan Academy, and the golden fox, the guardian, looked up. But in the next second, the familiar aura vanished, and they continued their activities, either sleeping or training their pet beasts.
Meanwhile, Lian Xing, her golden hair styled in buns, along with Silver Dragon, Tears Maiden, and Thunder Fly, floated in the sky above Baiyue Province, looking down at the tiny region.
Back then, Lian Xing, with her Moonlight Rabbit, had left this insignificant place.
“Alright, everyone, our short trip is over.”
“If you need anything, come find me in the new world—”
“I’ll set up a Star Gate at my first base. Come when you’re ready~~~” With that, Lian Xing gave each of the three girls a Star Key.
They had traveled from the Beast Tamer Alliance to the Seven Heavens and Worry-Free Pond, then back to Baiyue Province, just to see Lian Xing off…
Actually, Jade Lady had also signed up for this trip, but Lian Xing had ruthlessly rejected her. After all, with Flood’s aura gone, Jade Lady’s Lover chat group was active again. She didn’t want her every action being scrutinized by millions of people.
After saying goodbye to her online lovers, Lian Xing, riding Cloud and Dream’s Promise, vanished in an instant, her golden figure shrinking as she ascended, finally disappearing above the clouds, under the watchful eyes of the incomplete moon.
Thunder Fly, Silver Dragon, and Tears Maiden all looked at the spot where Lian Xing had vanished, their expressions filled with longing.
They didn’t know when they would meet again.
Even Snow Flower had gotten a kiss, but they hadn’t…
New world, Sanctuary Gate.
No, to be precise, it wasn’t a gate anymore.
The connection between the new world and the lower Pet Beast World had been shattered, any being ascending through the sky could now freely enter the new world. Even the gatekeeper had been temporarily replaced to prevent beings from the lower world from entering.
At this moment, in the turbulent void above…
A Mechanical Species Sovereign, one of the Moonwalker Mother’s subordinates, which had once tried to analyze Moon Calamity and almost died, was checking the Pet Essence levels of various powers in that lower Pet Beast World.
Suddenly, hearing footsteps, it looked over curiously.
As a cloud of mist swirled, a golden-haired girl with buns and starry eyes appeared.
“Oh, the first intruder? So soon?”
“Little girl, although the barrier is broken, I suggest you return. Come back when you have a Sovereign-Tier Emperor,” the Mechanical Species Sovereign said, its voice amused, seeing that she was just a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer.
However, the golden-haired girl ignored it, walking towards the light in the distance. Seeing this, the Mechanical Species Emperor frowned, then raised its hand.
Since words were useless, it would have to use force…
However, in the next second—
The moment the Mechanical Species Emperor raised its hand…
The golden-haired girl simply glanced at it, and its thoughts and data, as a Mechanical Species, froze… Its body trembled, sweat dripping from its metallic parts. Then, it stood there, motionless, watching as the golden-haired girl walked past it, her terrifying aura fading into the distance.
“…”
“…”
[December 16th, 2023, Lian Xing arrives in the Moon Soul World.]
