Chapter 205 – Master, Let Them Lick a Little Longer

“What is it?”

Inside the palace, a middle-aged man stood before an ancient star chart, holding an ink brush. His every movement stirred the vast Star Sea.

“Alliance Lord, this is the summary regarding the recent Beast Tide,”

The messenger knelt on one knee. “The Beast God Sect just sent word that Jianghai Sword God, despite being a Supreme, personally intervened…”

“A Supreme personally intervened?”

The Alliance Lord paused his brushwork, slightly angered. “The Blood Spirit Contract cannot be broken. Who is this Jianghai Sword God? How dare he break the rules?”

“Reporting to the Alliance Lord,”

The messenger said quietly:

“According to my investigations these past few days, this Jianghai Sword God is a newly advanced Supreme Realm expert, with no roots or faction, and his origins are quite mysterious.”

“He has acted several times before, bringing a Sword Qi blessed land to Jianghai City and eliminating many invading threats… During the Beast Tide, he turned the tide and saved all the citizens.”

“Oh? Such high praise?”

Hearing this, the Alliance Lord raised an eyebrow slightly, surprised. “In that case, why hasn’t he been recruited into the alliance?”

“This…”

The messenger hesitated for a few seconds before slowly saying: “Alliance Lord, Jianghai Sword God’s movements are elusive and hard to track.”

“Moreover, he wasn’t originally at the Supreme Realm. We sent people to observe him for a while and were planning to approach him when he showed himself, but… we were a step too late.”

“A step too late?”

The Alliance Lord fell silent, his eyes flickering as if stars were dancing within them. “Continue.”

“Yes, just as we arrived at the Beast Tide and were waiting for the Sword God to act, the Supreme from the Beast God Sect suddenly appeared and clashed fiercely with him!”

“The two Supreme experts battled high in the sky, their power immense, even affecting the Beast Tide below, killing all the beasts.”

The messenger shook his head:

“But unfortunately, Jianghai Sword God’s strength was too far inferior, and he quickly fell into a disadvantage… Forced into a corner, he had no choice but to self-destruct using Star Power, dragging the Beast God Sect’s Supreme into the Yellow Springs.”

“Thus, both perished.”

As the words fell.

“So he self-destructed…”

Hearing this, the Alliance Lord shook his head slightly with emotion. “To sacrifice himself for the citizens of Jianghai, he can be considered a resolute individual.”

At the same time, he felt somewhat pained.

To give his life for the common people, to bring peace, willing to self-destruct and take the Beast God Sect with him.

Such character is beyond reproach!

Moreover.

How difficult is it to cultivate to the Supreme Realm?

It requires the right temperament, talent, opportunities… missing any one element of timing or advantage makes this realm unattainable.

And to let it go just like that.

The Alliance Lord searched his heart and asked himself; though he could grasp the moon and swallow the sun, even he, as the Alliance Lord, could not act with such ease.

“Enough!”

“Since that person has passed, what does the Beast God Sect want with us now?”

The Alliance Lord frowned, his tone somewhat displeased. “Now that their grudge is settled, it means it ends here and has nothing more to do with us.”

“The world lost a Sword God, they lost a Vermillion Bird Earth Venerable, one for one… What more is there to question?”

“Alliance Lord, it’s because of the Vermillion Bird Earth Venerable…”

The messenger shook his head, speaking gravely: “After withstanding the self-destruction, he actually didn’t die but was reborn through a secret technique and lived again.”

“But!”

At this point, the messenger changed his tone, looking up at the Alliance Lord:”Not long after the secret rebirth technique, he was targeted again and assassinated on the spot, this time dying permanently.”

“Someone assassinated Vermillion Bird Earth Venerable?!”

The Alliance Lord exclaimed in surprise.

To successfully ambush Vermillion Bird,

it must have involved the intervention of a Supreme Realm expert!

This action had long exceeded the restrictions of the Blood Spirit Contract!

No wonder the Beast God Sect was furious…

“Who did it?”

The Alliance Lord asked with a grave expression, “Did you detect who made the move just now?”

“Subordinate doesn’t know, but according to the Beast God Sect’s account, he was killed by a golden arrow.”

The messenger whispered: “Now they firmly insist it was done by our Supreme Alliance.”

“Golden arrow…”

The Alliance Lord murmured softly upon hearing this, his eyes narrowing imperceptibly.

“Go! Have God Arrow Supreme Liu Wushuang come see me immediately!”

“Yes, Alliance Lord!”

….

…..

The next day.

It was Sunday.

The Library was closed for maintenance, with all staff except the renovation workers having a day off.

Finally having a rare holiday,

Qin Yang had stayed up all night and was sleeping comfortably until now, not getting up even by 9 AM.

Outside the door, Xiaobai’s voice could be heard.

“Master, I’m leaving your breakfast here!!”

“This Fairy is going out!”

Xiaobai, wearing a baseball cap, stood at the entrance hallway, bending down to untie her kitchen apron, retracting her fox tail and perking up her ears to listen for any movement from the room.

No response from Master?

Call again!

“Master! Get up and eat by yourself, otherwise it’ll get cold. You’ll have to handle lunch yourself too, understand—”

As her voice faded,

a faint response came.

“Oh…”

Qin Yang’s lazy voice sounded before he turned over to continue sleeping.

“Hmph!!”

“Bad master, you can just sleep yourself to death!”

Hearing this, Xiaobai felt contempt in her heart. She tiptoed to open the door, tightened her baseball cap to cover her fox ears, and headed straight for the main street.

Now that the Beast Tide had passed,

Jianghai City was recovering, with the atmosphere of human activity lingering over this coastal town.

A little white-haired loli walked along the bustling street, humming a song as she leisurely headed toward the city outskirts.

“Counting the days, this seems to be the first time this Fairy has gone out alone, right?”

Xiaobai counted on her fingers with naive charm.

It really was!

Previously, she had grown accustomed to being with Qin Yang, carried in his arms every day.

Now, taking advantage of him sleeping in, she finally had the opportunity.

Perfect timing, geographical convenience, and human harmony!

This Fairy must investigate thoroughly!

“Why does that Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles give me such a familiar feeling?”

Hugging her chest, Xiaobai frowned in thought as she arrived at Jianghai’s border.

She stood before the towering city wall, looking up at it.

Cracks covered the surface – the self-destruction of Jianghai Sword God that day had been tremendously powerful. Even though it occurred ten thousand meters high, it still caused significant impact below.

Currently around the city wall,

construction vehicles were everywhere, repair crews busily rushing about, with support frames erected everywhere, yet many cracks remained unfilled.

“Hehe, heaven helps this Fairy!”

Xiaobai released her spiritual power and easily found a crack.

She bent over and approached it,

squeezing through with rustling sounds.

The next moment,

she was already outside the city wall.

Looking around,

corpses littered the field as far as the eye could see. The air was thick with the smell of blood, the soil deeply crimson – the tragic scenes from that night still vividly present.

“So many Star Beasts died.”

Xiaobai wrinkled her delicate nose slightly, though she didn’t feel particularly emotional about it.

Among Star Beasts, it was always survival of the fittest.Since they had decided to attack the city, anyone who died under the artillery fire had no one to blame.

“Forget it, I’ll just keep searching.”

She shook her head, sniffled, and continued rummaging through the battlefield.

She was searching for Pear Blossom Needles in the area.

The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles were extremely precious. After the Beast Tide ended, the Star Martial Police Department sent people to retrieve them, but there might still be some overlooked spots.

As long as she kept looking, she was bound to find some.

Xiaobai sometimes crouched on the ground to dig through the soil, sometimes lifted a few rotting Star Beast corpses, and sometimes nimbly climbed up trees…

Time passed slowly.

Just then.

Suddenly!

Roar!!!

An ear-splitting roar echoed.

A deformed Star Beast emerged from the forest. Its body was several zhang tall, resembling a black mountain, and it stared intently at Xiaobai, drool dripping from its mouth.

“Master…”

Xiaobai froze for a moment, instinctively stepping back as she tried to look for Qin Yang.

In the past, Qin Yang would have already taken action by now. All she had to do was follow behind him and cheer, without a care in the world.

A violent aura surged forth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of hooves thundered as the savage Star Beast charged forward, about to crash into her in the next moment.

Wait…

Xiaobai suddenly frowned, remembering something.

Her fangs bared, and her sharp claws extended!

Wait a minute!

This Fairy is a King-level Star Beast!!

“How dare this piece of trash mess with me!?”

“You’re asking for death!”

Xiaobai gritted her silver teeth, leaped up with her short legs, and slapped the beast with a backhanded strike, unleashing an even more overwhelming surge of Star Power!

Boom!

The beast’s skull shattered!

The massive Star Beast died on the spot without even a grunt, collapsing to the ground and stirring up a cloud of dust.

“Hah, is that all?”

Xiaobai clapped her hands, stepped on the Star Beast’s corpse, and gave it a couple of kicks.

Suddenly.

A familiar scent wafted over.

“Found it!”

Xiaobai sniffed the air, overjoyed, and quickly reached in with her claws. In the next moment, she pulled out half a Pear Blossom Needle.

A flash of silver light gleamed.

Xiaobai brought it closer and sniffed—the scent was even more familiar.

It was like…

Exactly like…

Wait…

Xiaobai narrowed her eyes, holding the Pear Blossom Needle for comparison, and slowly glanced back over her shoulder.

Her gaze gradually fell on her fluffy tail, and her heart skipped a beat.

“Qin Yang, you bastard!! You damn scoundrel!!”

……….

At noon.

Qin Yang yawned, rubbed his eyes, and walked out of his room. He opened the fridge and started looking for something to eat.

“I wonder how long that silly fox will take?”

Xiaobai had left early in the morning.

He wasn’t particularly worried.

After all, with the Beast Slave Link, he could find her no matter how far she went.

Besides, it was rare for her to have a chance to go out and have some fun.

“Let her play and fool around as she pleases…”

Just then.

Click.

Xiaobai was back.

In an instant!

A frenzied aura swept through the room.

“Huh?”

Qin Yang’s hand, holding a chicken wrap, paused mid-air as he turned his head in confusion.

There, at the door.

Stood a little white-haired loli, her eyes crimson, silver teeth gritted audibly, glaring furiously at Qin Yang as if murderous intent filled the air.

“Oh, you’re back.”

Qin Yang bit into his chicken wrap. “Perfect timing—go make some food.”

“No, I won’t!!”

Xiaobai clenched the Pear Blossom Needle, staring at Qin Yang. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Her lips trembled, and her mind flooded with memories of her fur falling out in the past.

This awful master…

All this time, her fur had been falling out…

And it was all because of you!!!

So infuriating.Can’t beat my master anyway!

Even more infuriating!

Xiaobai was fuming internally when she suddenly felt her cheeks burning hot, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

“Huh?”

Qin Yang froze momentarily, noticing the Pear Blossom Needles in Xiaobai’s hand. Recalling her departure this morning, he frowned, “Tsk, don’t tell me you went to the battlefield?”

Has this Sword God’s cover been blown?

As his words fell.

“Waaah—”

Xiaobai cried even louder.

“Tch, alright, stop crying. So what if the cover’s blown?”

Qin Yang scratched his head nonchalantly, approaching Xiaobai and poking her. She turned her face away, shaking her shoulders in refusal to acknowledge him, her loud wails continuing unabated.

“Don’t cry, I’ll give you some compensation!”

“This Fairy doesn’t want it!!”

“Really?”

Qin Yang took out the Law Heart: “Then I’ll just…”

“I want half an hour,”

Xiaobai wiped her tears, crying and laughing simultaneously as she mumbled, “You’re not allowed to snatch it back.”

“Deal! Half an hour it is, but you’ll have to wipe your own drool.”

“Okay!”

“Take it then.”

Qin Yang tossed the Law Heart, slightly tilting his head to glance behind Xiaobai.

Her fluffy tail had started wagging again.

………

Half an hour later.

Qin Yang came to retrieve the Law Heart.

“Time’s almost up.”

“……”

On the sofa, the little white-haired loli remained silent, crunching on the Law Heart with her butt stuck up, swaying her fox tail.

“You’d better keep plucking this Fairy’s fur then!”
