Chapter 211: Lian Xing to be “Enjoyed” by Billions of “Haters”!?
Fear was a rare emotion for Beast Taming Evolution Duel players. It wasn’t a horror game. The only fear was choosing the wrong evolution path. But now, as Moonwalker and Lian Xing appeared, every player held their breath, especially the girl with the suggestive Mickey Mouse buns and starry eyes.
Though her appearance was… much, an overwhelming aura radiated from her. They felt an incomprehensible pressure, a suffocating despair. This wasn’t the power level they should be facing at the fourth anniversary…
As the pale-faced players watched, the starry-eyed girl in white stockings approached, her familiar, suggestive appearance reminding many of the streamer, Lian Xing. That streamer also had the signature twin buns and white stockings, prioritizing a ridiculous appearance over her looks, boasting about her “strongest Ancient Species.” But Lian Xing had many fans, drawn by her Moonlight Rabbit, the first publicly known Myriad-Level Pet Beast in the game. Her dramatic death after evolving the Ancient Species had only boosted her fame.
“Lian… Lian Xing!?”
“She looks just like her… Could it be…?”
“Probably. Who else would wear Mickey Mouse buns in public?”
“The map marker says Lian Xing, with a ‘Star Concubine’ prefix. What’s that?”
The players murmured as Lian Xing approached. Thanks to Unbreakable Heaven’s Ring, she recognized many familiar faces: friends, guildmates, rivals, even pro players. The Divine Machine had revealed everything, opening a path between the game and the Moon Soul World. It seemed Snow Flower and Golden Leaf’s rampage had forced its hand.
As Lian Xing smirked, the Divine Machine reacted.
“Whoosh—!!!” A flash of light. The Divine Machine emerged, a thumb-sized chip containing trillions of Pet Essence particles. Ignoring Lian Xing, it nervously addressed Moonwalker.
“Guardian Moonwalker, I mean no harm. These are Beast Tamers from the Bubble Pet Beast World, mistakenly brought here. They’ll leave soon. A new Fallen Emperor has appeared, attached to Snow Flower.” The Divine Machine’s fear was evident. Though a high-ranking Legend, it wasn’t a combat type. Even First Quarter could crush it, let alone the Guardians. Its appearance was a surrender.
But Moonwalker, instead, looked at Lian Xing, who seemed interested in the refugees. The Divine Machine, noticing this, looked at the girl with the Mickey Mouse buns. Then, Lian Xing’s words nearly stopped its Life Crystal.
“Divine Machine, how will you handle these players…?”
“Those who lost their Ancient and Shining Species… you won’t just compensate them with Black skills, will you? Judging by your aura… am I right? You’re even stingier than I thought~~~”
Lian Xing’s words stunned the Divine Machine and the players. They had assumed their new identities were arranged. But she had exposed them!
“…”
“…”
“Who are you?” The Divine Machine’s voice was serious, searching its database for this girl, but found nothing. A newcomer… Moonwalker’s new favorite?
Lian Xing ignored it, approaching the players with a smile.
“Ladies, what anniversary is it?”
“F-Fourth…” a player stammered.
“Good. The time flow matches~~~”
“I’m Lian Xing, a player who transmigrated a year early.”
“…”
“…”
“!!!!” The players erupted. Lian Xing… it was really her!? How had she transmigrated early!? Then, her former fans’ voices rose.
“Lian Xing, show us that move! The one where you roll around and don’t get dirty!”
“Lian Xing, will you keep your promise about letting your fans… enjoy you if your Ancient Species evolution failed!?”
“Lian Xing, I’m your fan, can you… do me?”
A red “X” appeared on Lian Xing’s forehead. These “fans” had insulted her online, and now they were brazen in person!? She almost exploded, wanting to “discipline” them all. As an Emperor-Tier Beast Tamer, she wasn’t afraid. But the pure and kind Lian Xing wouldn’t do such a thing. Calming herself, she smiled.
“Ladies, two choices.”
“One, stay under this thing’s server, but I can’t guarantee it won’t lie again.”
“Two, join me. I’ll provide skills, data, a portal to Earth, and more players. I just dislike this thing and won’t let it manipulate us~~~”
“…”
“…”
“Ridiculous! You want to steal my players? I’m a high-ranking Legend! What are you!?” The Divine Machine scoffed, glancing at Moonwalker. Seeing no reaction, it relaxed.
But then, Lian Xing glanced at it, and time seemed to freeze. The Divine Machine’s parts seized up.
Was she attacking? About to attack? Should it dodge? A mere Beast Tamer, even if strong, couldn’t surpass Heavenly Maiden… It generated countless countermeasures, but before absolute power, its will was fragile.
“BOOM!!!”
A white light descended. A rabbit woman with a giant tail slammed the Divine Machine into the ground. Shockwaves rippled, vaporizing Pet Essence. The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit looked up, her eyes crimson.
“An Ancient Species!!!!” The Divine Machine shrieked. Pinned down, it couldn’t resist. The players were silent, their Pet Beasts retreating. The terrifying pressure was like what they had felt facing Storm for the first time.
Lian Xing placed a white-stockinged foot on the Divine Machine, grinding it into the ground.
“Divine Machine, I don’t want to kill you. I’m grateful. Without you, I wouldn’t be here. So, a chance: find Tai Yin’s location, become a part for my Mechanical species, or give me control of the server. Do any, and I’ll spare you~~~”
“…”
“…”
“Never! I’d rather die!!!” The Divine Machine’s gears reddened with shame and anger.
As it struggled, Moonwalker spoke.
“Divine Machine, don’t resist. She just killed Drought with two Pet Beasts. You have no chance…”
“Ridiculous! Drought can’t die! Seven King Mother wouldn’t allow—”
The Divine Machine stopped mid-sentence. Drought’s red arrow was gone from the map. And… blue, red, gold, and white markers had converged here. A player had been right. Blue for Guardian, gold for Shining, red for Fallen, white for Ancient! The Divine Machine felt a chill. Was this woman insane!? She had all three special evolutions! This wasn’t a collectible card game! This would destabilize her entire lineup!
Then, it noticed something on the map: a rapidly blinking white dot approaching from Cloud Mist Sea, moving several times faster than Storm.
“It’s coming!!!” it shrieked. “Release me! I have to send the players back! My hard work can’t be wasted!!!”
Even without the warning, Lian Xing and Moonwalker sensed the approaching aura, its pressure threatening to crush everything in its path, vaporizing the clouds.
This was…
The Ancient Emperor, Lotus Concubine Tai Sui!
But Lian Xing, still staring at the Divine Machine, asked, “Choose, Divine Machine. Which option?”
“Are you crazy!? That thing is coming for your Ancient Species! Don’t drag me down with you!”
“Choose first.”
“Release me first!!!”
“Choose…”
“Release…”
“Choose…”
The Divine Machine was about to break down. Glancing at the confused players, it finally relented. “One! I’ll give you Tai Yin’s location!”
“Good~~~” Lian Xing smiled, removing her foot. Pet Beasts didn’t lie.
As a black pressure enveloped the sky, Lian Xing had Mist Colt expand her viral world, absorbing all the players. She didn’t know why the Ancient Emperor had arrived now, but it didn’t matter. They would fight eventually. She had kept the players here, not sent them back to Earth, to witness this battle, to prove her overwhelming power. She wanted to use Beast Taming Evolution Duel’s functions and evolution simulations to reach the Eleventh Zodiac’s level.
Finally, a shadowy figure with a chaotic aura descended.
“…”
“…”
“BOOM!!!!!”
The earth shattered, shockwaves obliterating everything for thousands of miles. The players within Mist Colt’s viral world held their breath, watching cautiously.
Under the watchful eyes of Moonwalker, the Divine Machine, Lian Xing, and the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit, a black-haired woman in a feathered crown emerged, her body wreathed in black flames, her aura as terrifying as an ancient emperor.
The First Emperor, Lotus Concubine Tai Sui…
The ultimate Pet Beast that even Star Goddess’s full lineup couldn’t defeat.
The Moon Soul World’s original Ancient Species!
Lotus Concubine Tai Sui approached, her greedy gaze fixed on the pure white Ancient Moonlight Rabbit.
The Ancient Rabbit’s crimson eyes narrowed.
Just as the tension reached its peak, Moonwalker exhaled a cloud of mist, asking sternly, “Lotus Concubine Tai Sui, you’ve trespassed into Cloud Mist Sea, crossing through Inverse Time’s territory. Do you intend to make enemies of all the Guardians?”
“…”
“…”
“Of course not. How could a humble commoner like me defy the Six Guardians under Lord Nine-Colored Deer?”
“I’m merely delivering invitations on their behalf~~~” Lotus Concubine Tai Sui said sarcastically, walking towards the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit.
Then, restraining her greed, she bypassed the rabbit and stood before the golden-haired, starry-eyed girl.
Lian Xing, much shorter than the First Emperor, blinked innocently.
Though Lotus Concubine Tai Sui had a bad reputation, she was undeniably beautiful~~~
Lian Xing took the golden invitation offered by the expressionless woman, three shimmering characters catching her eye.
[Lunar Divine Festival]
Moonwalker and the Divine Machine’s pupils constricted sharply.
What the hell!?
How!?
The Lunar Divine Festival… at this time…?
“…”
“…”
“Alright, invitation delivered. I won’t overstay my welcome. See you in a month~~~~”
“Star Concubine, as the only Myriad-Level Ancient Species Beast Tamer, I have high expectations for you—” Lotus Concubine Tai Sui turned with a mocking smile.
As she left, the players within Mist Colt’s viral world breathed a sigh of relief.
How terrifying! What level was that!?
Far stronger than any boss in Beast Taming Evolution Duel!
As Lotus Concubine Tai Sui departed, Lian Xing turned to Moonwalker and the Divine Machine, who clearly knew something.
Lunar Divine Festival… what did it mean?
Then…
Something unexpected happened.
Lotus Concubine Tai Sui, having retreated a short distance, began to float into the air, seemingly preparing to depart for her next destination.
But then she stopped abruptly, turning around with a look of disbelief.
The Ancient Moonlight Rabbit stood behind her, a fluffy paw gripping her ankle.
“…”
“…”
“What are you looking at?” the Back-Tailed Moon-Chasing Demon Rabbit asked, tilting her head with annoyance.
Before Lian Xing, Moonwalker, or the Divine Machine could react, the Ancient Moonlight Rabbit slammed Lotus Concubine Tai Sui into the ground.
“BOOM!!!!!”
A deafening explosion ripped through the air, obliterating the surrounding landscape and scattering the clouds.
As the dust settled, Lotus Concubine Tai Sui lay amidst the ruins, her face covered in dirt, her expression one of utter bewilderment.
Not only Moonwalker and the Divine Machine, but even Lian Xing, the Moonlight Rabbit’s master, blinked in stunned silence.
A married pet beast’s actions…have nothing to do with its master…!!!
