Chapter 88: Lian Xing is a Hybrid! ?
Within the boundless expanse of clouds, the expressions of all five girls changed drastically after the bride deer revealed their shared experience.
Rainwater, Curfew, Thousand Jin, Libra…
These four of the 72 Legends had all appeared within the past century. And none of them had chosen a master or even a partner, known for their elusive, solitary nature. But for some reason, they had all appeared simultaneously…
This meant…
The girls before it were the lucky ones who had been affected by the Legends’ characteristics.
Thinking of this, they looked at the naked golden-haired girl again.
So, which Legend had she encountered…?
It’s Star Sand, of course~~
Lian Xing was speechless.
She hadn’t expected that simply using Star Sand would transport her to this strange place. She wondered if her physical body had been moved or was still sleeping.
Under their curious gazes, the bride deer revealed the truth.
“August 22nd, 427621, 11:07 AM, one of the 72 Legends, [Calamity Sun], appeared in the 10th-level region, Baiyue Province, and was…thrown…”
“…”
“…”
“Calamity Sun!!!” Before Lian Xing’s underdeveloped brain could even process the information, the armless girl gasped in disbelief.
As residents of a higher-level region, they naturally knew that Calamity Sun had been lost after the leader of the Cycle of Calamity was defeated.
How could Calamity Sun possibly appear in a 10th-level region!?
And who was its user?
Lian Xing was also dumbfounded.
Shouldn’t the Legend she encountered be Star Sand…?
Wait, Calamity Sun was here!?
What the hell was going on…
Speaking of which, what had happened to Baiyue Province after she fainted?
Suddenly, Lian Xing’s starry eyes widened as a thought crossed her mind.
The one who had thrown Calamity Sun couldn’t be…
“Casualties?”
“How many casualties were there?” the Elemental Species hybrid, her body crackling with purple lightning, asked curiously.
According to records, when Calamity Sun first awakened, the leader of the Cycle of Calamity had casually thrown it, piercing through over a dozen regions, causing over 140 billion casualties. And now, since this bride deer had mentioned “a throwing event,” the casualties must have been catastrophic…
Combining that with their own experiences, could it be that this golden-haired girl was the sole survivor, the chosen one protected by Calamity Sun’s power?
So that was why she wasn’t wearing any clothes…
“Actually…there weren’t many casualties~~~”
“The question is…”
“What did those Legends do to you…?” the bride deer asked, changing the subject.
Hearing this, the girls looked at each other, especially the fishtailed girl with teardrop-shaped eyes, her expression as gloomy as a stormy sea.
After a moment of silence, she asked, “Since you brought us here it means…you can fix…what happened to me, right?”
“The levels of all four of my Royal-Tier pet beasts have been reset, they’ve reverted to their Juvenile forms. Is there anything you can do?”
“…”
“…”
Silence fell.
Even Lian Xing, who had been spacing out, looked at the fishtailed girl with pity.
That was rough…
Four Royal-Tier pet beasts reset, even a genius from a higher-level region would lose years of progress and resources.
But, that was still nothing compared to the pain of losing an Ancient Species!!!
Meanwhile, facing the fishtailed girl’s question, the bride deer shook its head casually.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Why don’t you guess what the two of you have in common~~?”
“One, we’re all beautiful.”
“Two, we’re all victims of the Legends.” The tall, white-haired woman raised her hand eagerly, answering first.
However, the deer didn’t even react.
“We’re all victims of the Legends, and…”
“We’re all virgins…!!” the Elemental Species hybrid blurted out.
Hearing this, the fishtailed girl’s eye twitched.
Clearly, she wasn’t.
“We’re all beneficiaries of the Legends, and…”
“We’re all human-pet hybrids…” the armless, black-haired girl said hesitantly.
This was nonsense. Everyone shook their heads, speechless.
First, how could the girl whose four Royal-Tier pet beasts had been reset be considered a beneficiary? And how was this golden-haired girl with starry eyes a hybrid?
However, to everyone’s surprise, the bride deer nodded, smiling.
“Correct~~~”
“Huh?”
“Aaaaah!!!” Hearing this, the white-haired woman gasped, then screamed in embarrassment, covering her face with her furry paws, unable to look at the golden-haired girl.
The reactions of the other beast girls weren’t as dramatic, but their expressions were still filled with shock.
They had assumed that the golden-haired girl was human, but it turned out she was a hybrid like them.
This instantly amplified the appeal of her nakedness by a thousand times…
It was like a pet that never wore clothes suddenly turning into a human. The impact on their minds and bodies was significant…
But the most confused person present was Lian Xing herself.
She was a hybrid?
How come she didn’t know…?
She didn’t have any of the physical characteristics of a Biological Species hybrid, nor was she surrounded by elemental energy like an Elemental Species hybrid. She didn’t have any strange appendages like a Weapon Species or a Mechanical Species hybrid either. The only possibility was a Viral Species hybrid.
But, she had heard that Viral Species hybrids could use their bodies as storage space…
So, Lian Xing tried to store something in her body. Unsurprisingly, it was just a delusional fantasy, proving that she wasn’t a hybrid.
“Actually, I’m really not a hybrid…” Lian Xing protested weakly after a moment of hesitation.
However, the bride deer wasn’t surprised. It walked around Lian Xing a few times, then whispered in her ear, “Are you…fast…?”
“Slap!”
Lian Xing quickly covered the deer’s mouth, her face flushed.
She understood.
She might actually be a hybrid…, but it wasn’t externally visible. Her internal organs were different from a human’s. This meant that if you cut open her stomach, you wouldn’t see intestines or a spleen, but something else…
After all, in her memories, she had been an orphan since birth, so even if she were a hybrid, it wouldn’t be that strange.
Lian Xing quickly accepted this fact.
Being a hybrid wasn’t a bad thing. Now she could not only attract human girls, but also those beautiful hybrid girls. Her options had expanded significantly.
“Wait, even if she’s a hybrid, I can’t possibly be a beneficiary of the Legends!” the fishtailed girl with teardrop-shaped eyes protested.
The bride deer gently freed itself from Lian Xing’s grasp, then returned to its original position, looking at the fishtailed girl with a smile.
“Oh, really?”
“Have you ever considered that your evolution path is wrong…?”
“All your pet beasts are Water-type, and they witnessed the Legend, Rainwater. Can you guarantee that they won’t change their minds…?”
“What’s so bad about having their levels reset? Their combat skills and techniques are still there. Catching up is easy~~~”
The fishtailed girl fell silent, considering the deer’s words.
It was true, she had been struggling with this issue. Although having all four of her pet beasts’ levels reset was painful…
Her main battle pet beast, whose evolution path had been blocked and had no chance of being reset, had actually been given a rare opportunity to start over. Whether this was a blessing or a curse, it was hard to say.
No wonder she felt both pain and relief…
After a moment of silence, the fishtailed girl asked, “Who are you?”
“…”
“…”
“I’m just an ordinary deer~~~” the bride deer said, dismissing the question with a smile.
“Also, it’s not entirely accurate to say that you’re beneficiaries of the Legends. To be precise, you’re the ones who were most deeply marked during this Legend courtship event—”
“This means…you…”
“Have a high chance of contracting the Legend you encountered today!!”
Hearing this, the expressions of the girls turned to shock and disbelief.
Meanwhile, Lian Xing lowered her head, the star patterns in her eyes twinkling rapidly.
Based on this deer’s words, her previous guess was likely correct.
It was highly probable that the Heaven-Gracing Curtain had thrown Calamity Sun while she was unconscious…
Although she didn’t know the details, she had to return to reality as soon as possible and investigate the situation in Baiyue Province.
After a pause, the deer continued, “My goal is simple: to strengthen your connection with the Legends, to bring you closer to them, until you finally become true Legend Beast Tamers!!!”
“I can fulfill most of your requests, but…”
“You will be forced to come here every week on this day. I will observe your progress, and then…”
“I will choose…”
“My “son-in-law”~~~”
