The Saintess Has A Showdown 245-246

Chapter 245: The Sorrowful Saintess Wants to Beat Up the Water Emperor?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

A shadowy wave of annihilation, a black, thread-like energy, a crescent moon slash erupting.

The earth-shattering force struck the Sorrowful Saintess.

After the Sorrowful Saintess’s death, this black crescent moon would annihilate the entire Sea Concubine Palace.

The Black Mansion Enchantress, panting, collapsed to the ground, its spirit energy depleted, a triumphant grin on its face.

This… was the power of a legendary being…

If Saint-rank spirit beasts were walking natural disasters, then legendary beings could destroy a world with a single breath, their power on a completely different level.

And having obtained the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner… it could become the ruler of the Sea Region!

As the pale cat woman reveled in its victory, the dust settled, revealing the blue-haired girl, standing there unharmed.

“…”
“…”

“Impossible!!!!”

Not only the Black Mansion Enchantress shrieked in terror, but the Sea Concubine Palace Spirit Masters watching from a safe distance were also stunned.

Facing such a terrifying attack, the Sorrowful Saintess hadn’t even flinched, hadn’t even summoned a spirit beast!

The Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner’s invincible slash had only left a white mark on her snow-white robe…

The Black Mansion Enchantress’s triumph turned to despair, its body drenched in cold sweat, its eyes dimming.

So this was the Sorrowful Saintess’s true power, the reason for her undefeated record?

It was far beyond what they had imagined.

At this moment, whether the Sea Concubine Palace Spirit Masters or the spies from other factions, they all felt a sense of awe and… a chilling dread.

Not even a Sixth Full Cycle Spirit Master, not even a False Soul Stage Nether Traverse Stage expert, could touch her.

Perhaps only those who had reached the True Soul Stage could withstand a legendary being’s aura.

And throughout the entire Sea Region, who would dare disrespect her…?

Sensing the Sorrowful Saintess approaching, the half-cat, half-human spirit beast froze, its body trembling, drenched in sweat.

Gong Lianyue walked towards the Black Mansion Enchantress, bent down, picked up the Shadowlurking Blade, and casually tossed it to the Desireless Saintess.

It seemed she needed to… discipline… the Shadowlurking Blade and its… promiscuous tendencies. Such indecent behavior, a disgrace.

Having reclaimed the Shadowlurking Blade, Gong Lianyue and her spirit beasts turned to leave.

“T-That’s it? It’s over?”

The Black Mansion Enchantress stared at the blue-haired girl’s receding figure, confused.

She wasn’t going to do anything to it?

Was she just going to let it go?

Was the Sorrowful Saintess actually a saint, unable to even harm a fly?

As the cat spirit beast wondered, a black and white swallow-tailed, humanoid spirit beast, the Libra Fighting Swallow, returned, separating from the Sorrowful Saintess’s group.

It stood before the Black Mansion Enchantress, its feathers ruffled, a calm killing intent in its eyes.

Seeing this, the cat spirit beast froze, then a strange, almost amused, expression appeared on its face.

Even with its spirit energy almost depleted, did this mere Sixth Full Cycle spirit beast think it could defeat it?

Bang!!!!!

Bang, bang, bang!!!

Ten seconds later, as everyone watched in shock, the Libra Fighting Swallow, dragging the battered and bruised Black Mansion Enchantress, caught up to Gong Lianyue.

There were about ten Saint-rank spirit beasts here. Having the Sorrowful Saintess personally deal with this… seemed excessive…

Sea Region, Sea Concubine Main Hall

The same group as the previous meeting: Shui Yingge, the Water Emperor, the Cold Shark Prison Warden, the Six Concubines, the Sorrowful Saintess, and… Hong Xiaoqianyu.

The beautiful woman with fiery red hair stood silently three meters away from the meeting table, making everyone feel awkward and uneasy.

Although she had followed Gong Lianyue here, she hadn’t responded to any questions, simply staying by her side.

No, she was actually following the Nether Spring Narcissus within Gong Lianyue.

The Nether Spring Narcissus must have said something to her!

“Ahem, Saintess, you must be tired after your journey.”

“I remember when you were just a little girl. You’ve grown into such a beautiful young woman! Do you remember the first Saintess uniform you wore? I made it myself~~~”

The matronly Cold Shark Prison Warden spoke in a doting tone, earning a glare from Shui Qinghou.

This shameless old woman, trying to build rapport now? She had never even spoken to Yue’er before.

However, since all the current Six Concubines had been trained by her, Shui Qinghou didn’t dare to openly criticize her teacher, fearing… repercussions.

Just then, the Second Concubine, a blue-haired woman with pigtails, spoke.

“Water Emperor, the Saintess repelled the Snow Monarch, foiled the Pool of Hidden Secrets’ plot, and even brought back two legendary beings. This is a great achievement for both the Sea Concubine Palace and the entire Sea Region. I propose promoting her to Vice Palace Master.”

“…”
“…”

Everyone was shocked by the Second Concubine’s proposal.

The Saintess was a symbolic figurehead, with no real authority.

But a Vice Palace Master held significant power, a position that would disrupt the current balance.

The Sea Concubine Palace consisted of several key areas: the Main Hall, the Cold Shark Prison, Sea Moon Peak, the Ice Plains, the Sea Abyss Secret Realm, the Contribution Hall, the Library, the Concubine Promotion Hall, the Sea Dou Hall, the Mission Hall, and the Servant Quarters.

As Vice Palace Master, she would be granted control over a specific area.

Hearing the Second Concubine’s proposal, Shui Yingge remained silent.

Her gaze was fixed on Gong Lianyue…

At this moment, Gong Lianyue was struggling to restrain a small, pink, watery figure that was writhing in her hand.

Sacred Water, Lover, held a deep grudge against Shui Yingge, the Water Emperor.

It had been beaten and humiliated for giving Shui Yingge a “mid-tier above average” beauty rating. Gong Lianyue had subdued it by promising to let it attack the Water Emperor one day, though the black crown had also played a role.

Now, as if having lost control, Sacred Water, Lover, struggled to get free, wanting to confront the Water Emperor.

Seeing this, the Cold Shark Prison Warden and the Six Concubines discreetly looked away, the atmosphere turning awkward.

They could guess why the Sorrowful Saintess had subdued Sacred Water, Lover. She must have made some… unusual promises.

Hong Xiaoqianyu, intrigued, turned her head, a flicker of amusement in her eyes.

The next second, Sacred Water, Lover’s, struggles ceased, its expression turning blank.

The Water Emperor, that high and mighty being, was sticking out its tongue and making a face at it…

Chapter 246: Arrival of the Most Beautiful Maid

[Defeat spirit beasts outside the First Saint Court: Reward 1,000,000 points.]
[Defeat Water God Four Symbols: Reward 1,500,000 points.]
[Defeat Flowing Shadow: Reward 2,300,000 points.]
[Defeat Variant Water Emperor: Reward 4,000,000 points.]
[Defeat Libra Fighting Swallow: Reward 9,000,000 points.]
[Defeat Watery Years: Reward 22,500,000 points.]
[Remaining points: 40,490,000]

Within the Waterfall Lake Wonderland, after single-handedly conquering the First Saint Court, Gong Lianyue’s points had skyrocketed, exceeding 40 million.

That was enough to buy four Saint-Breaking Pills, or even two young Saint-rank spirit beasts. Dual Soul Pills were practically free.

But she needed at least 50 million points to reach the legendary level, as even a random Legendary Battle Technique book cost 50 million.

One action from the Cold Nether Phoenix Spirit: 80 million points.

One action from the Jade Concubine of the Waterfall Lake: 100 million points.

One action from the Dark Night Concubine: 200 million points.

[Mission 1: Surrender the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner. Reward: 500 million points.]
[Reject]

Gong Lianyue instantly rejected the mission. Any mission or item related to a legendary being was ridiculously overpriced.

Permanently losing the Shadowlurking Blade, Night’s Executioner, in exchange for two or three actions from other legendary beings was a terrible deal.

It wasn’t like facing the Snow Monarch, a truly insurmountable foe.

Also, the cheaper items in this secret realm were often… mispriced. Legendary beings probably considered them mere toys, not worth the effort of proper pricing. In reality, anything was “free” for a legendary being. They could simply take what they wanted.

“…”
“…”

During the recent Sea Concubine Palace meeting, the Second Concubine, Shui Qinglian, had proposed promoting Gong Lianyue to Vice Palace Master, a proposal unanimously approved by the Water Emperor and the others.

And so, she had been given control of the Mission Hall.

Perhaps she could use this to her advantage, having the Sea Concubine Palace members complete the Waterfall Lake Wonderland’s side missions for her.

As her time in the secret realm dwindled, Gong Lianyue returned to reality, to her bedroom in the Saintess Tower.

The pink figure was nestled in the little fox’s embrace, whimpering, only calmed by the fox’s gentle caresses.

After being mocked by the Water Emperor, Lover had almost burst into tears, stomping its feet in frustration.

She hadn’t expected the Water Emperor, a thirty-year-old woman, to be so childish…

Gong Lianyue had expected Lover to be enraged, but the little fox had easily calmed it down.

“Wait, isn’t the little fox only effective against plant types?”

Gong Lianyue picked up the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, examining it curiously.

The little fox, held in the air, blinked in confusion, then burrowed into the blue-haired girl’s collar.

It had simply intended to resume its duties as a chest pad, but it found itself sinking into the soft embrace, unable to move.

After a moment, it peeked out, its eyes narrowed contentedly.

Early investment, late reward.

“Heh, this little thing is a natural charmer. To plant-types, it’s probably a ‘peak high-tier’ beauty. Even for other creatures, it’s ‘high-tier above average.’ Only for foxes is it considered low-rank.”

“And I’ve already decided to make her my wife!”

Sacred Water, Lover, flitting around the girl’s head, also burrowed into her collar, snuggling against the little fox.

“…”
“…”

Feeling the two spirit beasts nestled against her chest, Gong Lianyue glanced at Hong Xiaoqianyu.

The red-haired flower woman remained unresponsive, not even looking at them.

Was what Sacred Water, Lover, said true? Was the little fox really that beautiful? Why wasn’t Hong Xiaoqianyu interested? Could it be loyalty to its human partner?

Ding-dong!

Ding-dong, ding-dong!!

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Gong Lianyue quickly removed Sacred Water, Lover, and the little fox from her cleavage, lest she be accused of inappropriate behavior with her spirit beasts.

Sensing the familiar, natural, green aura, the visitor was undoubtedly the Wrathful Saintess, Luo Kuxin.

A few seconds later, a green-haired girl with a ponytail appeared. Her appearance surprised Gong Lianyue.

Was this… Luo Sanba?

The green-haired girl carried a large gift box wrapped in green vines.

“Wait, is this your spy clone in the Sea Concubine Palace?” Gong Lianyue asked, surprised.

“Clone? What clone?” Luo Sanba looked puzzled. “I was simply asked to deliver this. She said you were expecting it.”

“Well, I have to go now. Goodbye, Saintess!”

“…”
“…”

What was going on? Why wouldn’t she admit it?

Whatever.

Watching the green-haired girl leave, Gong Lianyue curiously looked at the vine-covered gift box.

So this was Luo Kuxin’s “most beautiful number 10 clone”? She had made it sound so intriguing.

As the green vines unraveled, the gift box opened from the inside, and a green-haired woman, bathed in a holy light, emerged.

Gong Lianyue’s eyes widened. Beautiful or not, she couldn’t tell yet, but this woman… she was massive, easily on par with Bai He, even more… endowed… than her current, perfect form!

But the Bai He she had seen was always modestly dressed. What was with this girl, practically naked in public…?

Gong Lianyue’s gaze, moving past the holy light, finally landed on the woman’s beautiful, innocent face, and she gulped.

Well, well, well, the rumors were true. Beautiful, big, and seductive!

Gong Lianyue had been simply curious, but… she was just too much. She couldn’t resist.

“Ahem, from now on, you are my maid.”

She glanced at Hong Xiaoqianyu, signaling for clone number 10 to “perform”.

Hong Xiaoqianyu, a loyal and virtuous wife, hadn’t even been tempted by the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower’s beauty. She certainly wouldn’t be interested in this seductive maid.
