Chapter 221: Chapter 217: The Clumsy and Timid Foolish Loli, Changes of Jiuying!
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, Yao Er, you’re really so clever..." Chu Yi replied perfunctorily. "So, clever Yao Er, how did you appear here? I’m curious..."
Receiving praise, the green-haired lolita’s eyes lit up. Like a proud peacock, she hummed, "Hehe, Yao Er won’t tell you, liar."
Chu Yi: "..."
His face darkened. Resisting the urge to give this silly lolita a couple of punches, he turned and left.
BOOM—
His blood and energy burned, trailing a trace of Crown Flame. His figure sprinted swiftly through the white mist, immediately attracting a group of shadows that gradually became clear in the mist. At the same time, he activated mimicry. Strands of gray mist swirled around him, concealing his figure and blocking external perception, causing the group of attracted Beasts to focus their initial gaze on the dazed green-haired lolita.
"Ah, ah?"
The green-haired lolita was stunned. From her perspective, Chu Yi had turned into a ball of fire and disappeared.
The mist was thick, like a tenacious gangrene clinging to bones. It revealed a horn that had penetrated countless corpses. The ground was turning into a swamp of intermingled blood and flesh, from which a withered, cracked giant hand began to emerge...
"Where, where did the person go? Don’t leave Yao Er behind!!"
The green-haired lolita was scared out of her wits, her mind blank, as if a Beast was affecting her thoughts.
This continued until a corner of a black robe appeared, from which several tentacles emerged. They seemed parasitic on an arm and suddenly elongated.
The tentacles were revealed to be veins protruding from the arm. Scales, feathers, and patches of green fur rapidly grew upon them, carrying potent curses as they lashed out at the dazed green-haired lolita.
BOOM—
To participate in a Divine War, it’s unlikely she’s just some naive girl; even if she is, she wouldn’t live long.
Chu Yi hid behind a Demon Tree, his Clock Eye refracting a world withering at dusk, as he gazed into the distance, murmuring.
Seeing the green-haired lolita, he was reminded of Xing Mei, the fourth princess of the Enchanting Demon Royal Court. She had feigned innocence and harmlessness but turned out to be the biggest boss of the Desire Sin Sect. Having been fooled once and nearly capsizing his boat, Chu Yi naturally dared not underestimate anyone. Therefore, he believed this Elf Lolita, just like him, was definitely an old schemer.
However, as he watched the battlefield, he saw the lolita crying "WAA!" and fleeing with her head in her arms amidst a horde of Beasts.
Meanwhile, she summoned a Pet Beast—a green-skinned, winged baby dragon—and rode it in a frenzied escape.
Could it be... I guessed wrong?
Seeing such an incredibly clumsy performance, Chu Yi couldn’t help but wonder, was this silly lolita truly that bad—both unskilled and foolish? But how did she burst out from within the Mammoth Giant?
These confounding doubts left Chu Yi puzzled, so he simply decided not to dwell on them.
He pondered for a moment, not going to assist the clumsy lolita, but instead sent a sliver of his consciousness to the Chaotic Burial Mound to awaken Jiu Ying.
「Inside the Chaotic Burial Mound.」
White bones lay exposed, the ground strewn with skeletons, and dense Yin energy permeated the air.
At the center, a bizarrely twisted flower occupied most of the space.
Myriads of skeletons and flesh were intertwined. Blood-red tendrils drooped down, each tethered to a human skin from which blood frenziedly surged. Its huge petals were lined with beastly fangs, and its tentacle-like vines writhed slowly, hunting for Souls that had unwittingly strayed nearby. The sight was incredibly eerie.
The Flower of Desire was a forbidden existence Chu Yi had subdued at the cost of 10 Divinity, and it served as the primary enforcer under the King of Black Robes. In other words, it was the most powerful Pet Beast he commanded.
Beside the flower, a woman in a scarlet palace gown noticed her master arriving. The nine faces on her delicate, jade-like neck, each with a different style, opened their eyes in unison, looking happily at their master.
"Master, hugs~" an innocent and adorable loli cooed, blinking her eyes.
"Master, when are we going to massacre a city?" a decisive mature woman with a heroic glint in her eyes asked expectantly.
"Master must be tired from being out. Let this servant warm your bed," a soft and charming voice purred, one that could stir heartstrings and breed desire.
The nine beauties, each with her own unique allure, made it difficult to look away.
Actually, if one were bold enough, the strangeness of the nine beautiful heads could even be... arousing. And taking turns—that would be nine times the pleasure!
Temporarily setting aside this maddening thought, Chu Yi stroked the nine heads. He felt, in a mysterious way, that Jiu Ying was suited for this place woven from rules, and said, "Jiu Ying, come out and play with me."
"Really, Master?"
"Yay, yay, Master! Let’s go on a joyful city massacre! We can peel off their skins and make a fine robe for you, hehe~"
"We love you the most, Master~"
Jiu Ying paused, slightly stunned, then her fair, slender hands grasped Chu Yi’s hand with deep attachment.
Since absorbing the Bone Demon’s evolutionary energy, Jiu Ying had become more exquisite and beautiful. Moreover, she gave Chu Yi the impression that she had gained a touch of humanity. At least... she no longer frequently mentioned "massacring a city" and seemed to have her own thoughts.
In reality, once Jiu Ying appeared, the surrounding white mist thinned.
"Eh?"
Jiu Ying paused, puzzled. She reached out and grabbed; a patch of dense white mist in her grasp turned into a small cloud. She brought it to her cherry lips and gently bit into it.
Subsequently, the nine faces, each beautiful in its own way, showed expressions of contentment. Their bright eyes blinked as they excitedly spoke to Chu Yi.
"Master, this is delicious."
Chu Yi’s gaze was profound as he pondered. Indeed, Jiu Ying could also be classified as a Beast. She was a living Treasure, capable of devouring weak rules. If this were the case, then this place was a paradise for Jiu Ying’s rapid growth.
And understanding the cause and effect, Chu Yi wasn’t afraid of being seen by the gods. The gray mist drifted around them, concealing their figures and blocking any external prying.
What surprised Chu Yi even more was that he and Jiu Ying could communicate telepathically. This was likely due to absorbing some of the Bone Demon’s energy during its evolution.
Unfortunately, his Divine Power reserves were at a critical level; otherwise, it would be easier to devour Beasts.
The mission had changed: he would slay Beasts, devouring their Souls himself to forge his Golden Body, while Jiu Ying would devour the rules.
Chu Yi had a premonition. Tempering his Golden Body here held immense benefits and could unlock evolution paths related to it.
He glanced at the skeletal spider legs high in the sky. This Beast was colossal. Even after they had traversed a considerable distance, merely seeing its legs was enough to induce despair.
"Jiu Ying, an acquaintance of mine is over there. Go ahead and save her." Chu Yi glanced at the clumsy lolita who was being pummeled and gave the instruction.
"Mm-hmm, okay, Master."
Jiu Ying nodded. One of the loli faces seized the opportunity to steal a kiss on Chu Yi’s cheek, a shy expression appearing on it.
This sparked discontent among the other eight faces. They all pressed forward, each giving him a kiss in turn.
In fact, the bolder ones even used their tongues—rosy and glossy, soft and fragrant.
Chu Yi: "..."
So bold! Such insubordination, utter disregard for others, and absolutely no respect for her master’s dignity!
Chu Yi fumed silently, deciding he would find an opportunity to have a proper ’discussion’ with this mischievous ’daughter’ of his.
