Chapter 195: Lian Xing’s New Wife
“[System notification: Your companion pet beast is detected on the same map.]”
“[The pet beast is out of range. Recall?]”
A companion pet beast was the one a Beast Tamer had before Awakening.
Pet Beast Evolution Battle also used this setting, allowing players to choose a starter pet beast. So, this Ancient Species was her Moonlight Rabbit from her past life!!! Seeing this message, Lian Xing froze, her breath catching in her throat.
She had suspected this ever since entering that map created by Divine Machine using the Eleventh Zodiac’s aura. Her Ancient Species might still be in this world. But without knowing Divine Machine’s abilities, whether it could manipulate memories like Qianqiu, and with no records of a new Ancient Species in the Pet Beast World, she had assumed it was gone.
But now, contacting Divine Machine’s aura, she understood.
Her Ancient Species hadn’t disappeared!
It had been with her all along!!!
In the Calamity Sun incident, during the Flood disaster, she had seen glimpses of that Ancient Species—
Moon Calamity…
The Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit!!!
It had been reborn in the bubble world alongside her!!!
But only now did Lian Xing realize.
Not even the administrators of her old world, perhaps not even many in the new world, could track Moon Calamity’s movements. It possessed Moon Chase, a unique Moonlight Rabbit bloodline combat skill, allowing it to appear anywhere instantly. Even without being recalled, even on different maps, in times of crisis, it could always teleport to her.
A companion pet beast and its master, their lives were bound. Other pet beasts’ contracts could be terminated, but not the companion’s. Even if their contract was broken, even if all her other pet beasts were lost, this Moonlight Rabbit would never leave her. Their lives were intertwined.
Understanding this, Lian Xing didn’t celebrate or panic. She simply waited for Divine Machine’s teleportation.
She was no longer the crybaby she had been, not rushing to reunite with her pet beast. Lian Xing knew Moonlight Rabbit was waiting for her, at the distant end of the Moon Soul World. A single Ancient Species couldn’t rule this world. It was waiting for her to build her new lineup. Then, together, they would reach the peak.
Under everyone’s gaze, as the teleportation neared, even Heavenly Maiden and Gem Concubine held their breath. But the golden-haired girl remained calm, as if this were just a casual outing. As Divine Machine’s aura intensified, the game UI before Lian Xing became clearer.
Storm, the Fallen Species Emperor, standing at the apex of all evolution paths.
It was time to test its strength.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Seven flashes of light. Gem Concubine, Fire Kasaya, Heavenly Maiden, Southern Queen, Ice Emperor, Jade Crown Great King, the golden-haired girl, and Snow Flower beside her, they all vanished.
As they were teleported, the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge’s body unfolded… Within its sword box body, seven ornate, star-marked ancient swords emanated a brilliant, Shining aura, each one like a divine weapon. And the sword box itself, the concentrated Shining Pet Essence at its core, was terrifying.
This was the only Shining Species whose initial form was a weapon, the only Weapon Species pet beast in the form of a sword box.
One of the Shining Duo, the Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge!!!
“Buzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!”
Under the deafening roar, the sword box’s surface vibrated, like a derailed planet, its aura so powerful that even the Great Emperors were almost blown away. Then, as the terrain around Sharp Edge Mountain crumbled, the seven ancient swords shot out from the sword box, their trails blazing like shooting stars, disappearing into the sky.
“Whoosh!!!!!”
A dozen seconds later, as her vision cleared, the golden-haired girl opened her starry eyes, her expression slightly dazed. Besides the white figure beside her, all she saw was an endless storm, a world of swirling winds.
This was inside Storm…
Lian Xing couldn’t even tell if this was Storm’s body or just its aura. Unlike the suffocating pressure inside Flood, the environment here was strangely calm, as if Storm didn’t even notice the beings within its body.
“So this is what they meant by relatively safe inside Storm…”
“Here, the lice don’t have to worry about being crushed by Storm’s aura. They just have to clean up the debris and the unfortunate beings that are sucked in…”
Lian Xing mused, then, holding Snow Flower’s hand, began walking.
Although it was safe inside Storm, the chaotic Pet Essence flow made it difficult to sense Snow Flower’s aura. If they separated, she might lose it. Just in case, she gave Snow Flower a Star Order. If they encountered a powerful enemy, or if Storm, despite being distracted by the Seven King Mother, noticed them, they could teleport away.
Although the Great Lord Biluo, the Celestial Anchor, a support-type Mechanical Species, its combat power was pathetic, Lian Xing still relied on it at times. The Celestial Anchor…it had been a dream of hers since her Pet Beast Evolution Battle days.
But its next evolution would have to wait until Recreate awakened…
Meanwhile, the white-haired beauty, being led by the golden-haired girl, her hand held tightly, looked confused. Feeling the strange, cold touch…
Heavenly Maiden silently questioned.
Weren’t they meeting for the first time?
Why were they holding hands…?
Although her emotions were suppressed by White Abode, it didn’t mean she was emotionless. A strange feeling stirred within her.
“That idiot thinks you’re Snow Flower. She can’t even see clearly in Storm’s aura.”
“Didn’t she know the teleportation was random? Who said she would end up with Snow Flower~~~?” White Abode chuckled, amused by this bizarre scene.
Meanwhile, outside…
After the Shining Six Stars and Lian Xing, along with Snow Flower, were teleported, Divine Machine’s residual aura formed a projection screen, displaying their movements in real time. Seeing Lian Xing’s strange behavior, First Quarter’s lips twitched. The other guests also looked at each other, their expressions amused…
Shouldn’t she at least look back…?
How careless…
Although both Snow Flower and Heavenly Maiden wore white, their appearances were quite different…
The Seven King Mother of Sharp Edge, however, remained impassive, observing their movements.
But a moment later, White Abode, which had been chuckling within Heavenly Maiden, stopped laughing.
“Whoosh——!!”
A golden, dreamlike aura, like a sandstorm, erupted from the golden-haired girl, covering a radius of hundreds of kilometers. And then, including White Abode, all the lice’s combat skills and Arcane Arts within that range were disabled…
Unable to see clearly or find any enemies within Storm, Lian Xing had deployed Star Sand to force them to reveal themselves!!!
This wasn’t just area-wide silence, it was also a provocation…
Any enemy affected by Star Sand’s aura would have to come and find her, or their combat skills would remain unusable.
Under everyone’s gaze, a golden, elemental figure, its body shimmering with starlight, appeared.
“What is that!!!”
“A Legend!?”
“How…White Abode is sealed! This is terrifying!!!”
“Wait, isn’t that the legendary Star Sand? The one that was ranked 10th…then dropped because it hadn’t appeared for hundreds of thousands of years!?”
As Star Sand appeared, everyone was stunned.
Even Wuyun Dizang’s eyes narrowed sharply.
Even White Abode was sealed! If it had encountered this Star Sand…it wouldn’t have stood a chance!!!
Actually, the reason White Abode had been sealed was simply because it was still Commander-Tier.
A Sovereign-Tier Emperor wouldn’t be affected by Star Sand’s ability…
“Remove it! Make her remove it!!!” White Abode shouted within Heavenly Maiden.
And what frustrated it even more…this newly appeared Legend didn’t even seem to notice it.
Because Lian Xing still thought she was holding Snow Flower’s hand, and this belief was shared by her pet beasts.
Although Snow Flower was beautiful, she was used to its appearance and wouldn’t pay much attention to it in such a crucial moment.
“Um…” Heavenly Maiden started to say.
But before Lian Xing could hear her, several ordinary Emperors, drawn by Star Sand’s aura, approached. From a distance, one of them unleashed a ranged attack, but since its combat skills and Arcane Arts were sealed, the elemental spell dissipated the moment it touched Mist Colt’s shield.
“Bang—”
The Emperor-Tier attack only caused a slight ripple around the golden-haired girl.
Then, she stood there, motionless, as if frozen…
After a dozen seconds, Lian Xing asked,
“Honey, what are you doing…? Are you asleep? Counter-attack!”
Hearing this, Heavenly Maiden’s expression froze.
Honey…?
Is she talking to me…?
And what’s a…counter-attack…?
I don’t have that ability… Heavenly Maiden’s beautiful, empty eyes were filled with confusion.
And her helpless and confused expression almost made Reverse Time, who had been watching the scene with amusement, laugh out loud.
Meanwhile, First Quarter, at the Three Saints Palace’s table, facepalmed.
Having Lian Xing represent the Three Saints Palace was sometimes excruciating…
Soon, seeing that Snow Flower wasn’t reacting, Lian Xing finally turned around.
“…”
“…”
Their eyes met.
Looking at the beautiful, white-haired woman whose hand she was holding, Lian Xing’s expression turned blank, a giant question mark appearing in her mind.
Wait, what was going on? Why was she holding Heavenly Maiden’s hand!?
Where was her Snow Flower wife!?
