C106 Part1

Translated by An Edited by An

Xu might be egotistical, arrogant, and cruel, but one of her biggest advantages was her strong sense of collective honor. Since her leaving the arena was directly related to the final ranking of the Saintess Hall of WanQing City, she forced herself to endure her resentment and sit back on the mat again.

This fight between Female Warrior ZiZi and Mu YouYun was the second encounter between the oldest and the second-oldest green rank Saintess Halls of the ChiDu Empire, Cang City, and LanJing City respectively. The first time was the confrontation between ZiZi with Li Yuan, with the latter ending up advancing to the yellow rank and getting disqualified. This time, would ZiZi continue her winning streak and enter the next round, or would she be overthrown by Mu YouYun?

Everyone waited with bated breath.

“QiQi, who do you think will win?” Xiang BuChen softly scratched Yang QiQi’s palm, which was resting on the legs, with his fingers.

This was absolutely…

Yang QiQi glared at the mischievous brat with a red face: He was forcing her to express her stance ah. Seemed like he couldn’t hold back any longer after seeing Ling Yue getting acknowledged by her. Did she like him? Lately, she had indeed been thinking about her relationship with Xiang BuChen: from being acquainted to getting along like family members now. She felt that she… liked him. She liked that he never did anything to hurt her despite his vicious ways. She also liked their compatibility and tacit understanding on the battlefield, his overbearing approach… If she liked it, then she should just grab it.

Looking at the hint of shyness gradually surfacing on the little female’s face, Xiang BuChen was about to withdraw his finger. But in the next second, her soft and warm palm clasped it.

This is the first time she has formally responded to his approach… Did it mean that she acknowledged him?!

His heartbeats quickened as if a little rabbit slamming it hard.

But immediately, he laughed at himself: When did he, Xiang BuChen, start to be on tenterhooks? Even if Yang QiQi didn’t acknowledge him now, he had a lot of means to make her bow down at his feet. Instead of handing over the initiative to the females like those good-for-nothing male beastmen, he wished to live according to his own preferences!

Xiang BuChen could be regarded as an eccentric here in the Beast World; under his headstrong and sinister exterior lay a free and proud soul.

“ZiZi.” Her expression was stiff but her cheeks were dyed pink. She had no idea how incredible this awkward appearance of hers was in Xiang BuChen’s eyes.

After staring at her for several seconds, he suddenly realized that she was answering his question.

Raising the finger that was caught by her and shaking it twice, he whispered right beside her ear playfully, “Eh, my luck is pretty good today. A crab took the bait as soon as I prepared it. It would be better to have Ling Yue make some snacks with it, right?”

“Nonsense.” She glared at him and let go of his finger.

Xiang BuChen’s eyes flashed as his lips hooked in his signature sinister smile.

He didn’t know how or why but he was certain that her gaze at him was different from before.

The setting of this battlefield was an old and dilapidated smelting ground. Although the huge furnaces all around were not burning, Mu YouYun had an awful feeling. She and Yang QiQi were both wood attribute users. Even if her own strength was comparable to ZiZi’s, she was innately weaker than her due to the difference in their attributes.

As expected, Female Warrior ZiZi was quite pleased with this setting. She spoke up: “Flames appear.” As soon as she said this, the furnaces lit up, trapping Mu YouYun in the middle.

She was not like Female Warrior Xu, that blockhead who actually lost to Yang QiQi despite getting a favorable location. She, ZiZi, must take full advantage of this setting. Nevertheless, even if it was not this setting, she must give her 200% in this match.

“Let’s go!” With a low cry, ZiZi took the lead in launching attacks. The flames in several of the furnaces leaped upwards and pounced on Mu YouYun.

“Appear!” Mu YouYun was also quick, she condensed a black shell with her wood attribute and protected herself. The flames struck the shell but couldn’t burn it.

In the split second before she was concealed inside the fruit shell, a black mark appeared on her forehead. It was magnified several times on the crystal screen, enough for everyone to see it clearly. This was a phenomenon that only occurred when a natal spirit was used.

Gasps of shock were heard throughout the place.

“What kind of shell is that?” The three representatives of Cang City this time were all fire attribute users. They were shocked to see ZiZi’s fire attack being intercepted.

If all the wood attribute users were able to condense this bizarre fruit unaffected by flames, wouldn’t they, the fire attribute users, lose a lot of their advantages?

“It’s a ‘ guklim ‘. The shell of this fruit is exceptionally tough, durable and fire-resistant. It had gone extinct more than 700 years ago. Judging from the appearance of the one she summoned, I think it must have been from LanJing City’s warehouse.” Xiao Yuan’s light words dispelled everyone’s doubts.

“That is to say, LanJing City actually had Female Warrior Mu YouYun fuse with a natal spirit at green rank?”

YueDu was not the only one shocked. Several other female beastmen were also shocked.
