I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets! 226p2

Chapter 226: Sorrowful Saintess’s Fertility Training, Lian Xing’s Extreme Makeover! p2

Moon Soul World, Lunar Divine Festival arena.

After a month of trials, Nether Concubine, Star Goddess, and Ice Queen returned to the massive meteorite space.

Their perspectives had been broadcast live, every action witnessed by trillions of beings in the Moon Soul World.

The True Spirits had also improved the live broadcast rules.

All beings could send their thoughts and comments as bullet comments, a fraction of which would be randomly displayed.

Still, the participants’ vision was filled with a chaotic barrage of comments, obscuring the scene.

Star Goddess and Ice Queen immediately disabled the bullet comment system.

Only Nether Concubine watched with amusement.

The comments from the Moon Soul World’s inhabitants were quite lively.

“Nether Concubine must be first, right? She summoned Qianqiu on the seventh day and explored all the secret realms of the Sea Soul World’s system, obtaining countless treasures and combat skill scrolls. Those scrolls were specifically for Beast Tamers! Incredible!!!”

“Yes, every action of Nether Concubine’s was perfect. She unearthed all the secrets of that place and brought back a ton of special treasures.”

“But Star Goddess wasn’t bad either. She became a national idol in just a month! That’s absurd. Her popularity definitely surpasses Nether Concubine’s, since Nether Concubine didn’t influence the world itself.”

“Ice Queen’s performance was… unremarkable. The place she went to seemed rather ordinary, and her abilities aren’t suited for exploration and deciphering~~~”

The beings of the Moon Soul World were busy evaluating the participants.

Unfortunately, they could only see the performance of these three.

They knew nothing about Tai Yin, who went to the Rain Soul World, or Lian Xing, who went to the Water Soul World.

“Whoosh—!!!”

Suddenly, amidst a surge of floodwaters, a disheveled Tai Yin was teleported back, drenched and dazed, her body trembling.

Seeing her state, the audience was stunned.

Had she been pursued by experts from the Rain Soul World…?

Had she barely escaped at the last moment?

Tai Yin didn’t answer, closing her eyes in shame.

Seconds later, Lian Xing returned, appearing calm and collected, only discreetly wiping drool from her lips.

Seeing her safe return, her admirers and companions sighed in relief.

Returning safely from the dangerous Divine Ruins was all that mattered. The final ranking was irrelevant.

Moments later, the rules of the Lunar Divine Festival appeared.

[The five Lunar Divine Festival participants have returned. Let’s see their results.]

[Ranked from lowest to highest.]

[Fifth place, Ice Queen, deciphering rate 0.057%.]

[Fourth place, Star Goddess, deciphering rate 0.765%.]

[Third place, Nether Concubine, deciphering rate 1.291%.]

…

…

[Second place, Tai Yin, deciphering rate 61.463%.]

[First place, Star Concubine, deciphering rate 62.318%.]

Silence descended.

Nether Concubine, who had foreseen the outcome, sighed softly.

Ice Queen and Star Goddess, however, stared in disbelief at Tai Yin and Lian Xing.

How could there be such a massive gap!?

What was in the Sea Soul World’s Divine Ruins!?

The audience was equally stunned. This deciphering rate meant they had practically mastered the Sea Soul World’s evolutionary system.

How had they achieved this in just a month?

The difference between them and the other participants was too vast!

Lian Xing and Tai Yin exchanged glances.

The drenched, silver-haired beauty averted her gaze, feeling a shiver run down her spine as she saw Lian Xing’s thoughtful expression.

“Let’s keep this a secret…”

“Yes, good~~~”

Lian Xing readily agreed to Tai Yin’s humble request.

No matter how strained their relationship, such matters were best kept private.

Their reputations were at stake!

Tai Yin had been incredibly unlucky. Upon arrival, she encountered her nemesis from her time in the Water Soul World, the current seventh Saintess candidate governing the Rain Soul World, Azure Falling Sky Spring.

She had been tormented for an entire month.

Lian Xing would have suffered the same fate, but thanks to her connection to Moonwalker, Sorrowful Saintess had released her, her luck far exceeding Tai Yin’s.

“Oh my god, how did their deciphering rates get so high? What earth-shattering things did they do in the Divine Ruins!?”

“They must have turned the entire Divine Ruins upside down! As expected of our Moon Soul World’s experts! Even the Sea Soul World is nothing special!!!”

Seeing the barrage of flattering comments, Lian Xing and Tai Yin exchanged another look, then coughed, their faces flushing slightly.

Saying they were turned upside down would be more accurate…

Meanwhile, in the outside world, in the Cloud Mist Sea, Moonwalker raised an eyebrow as she watched the golden-haired girl’s safe return.

Wait… could it be…?

Had she encountered her ex-wife there?

As Lian Xing’s external Married Pet Beast, Moonwalker could clearly observe the unusual changes within Lian Xing, even through the live projection.

Yaochi, sitting beside Moonwalker, commented thoughtfully, “Moonwalker, your darling is truly remarkable. First place in two consecutive rounds. Her chances of winning are quite high, aren’t they?”

“However, the deciding factors are the final battle in the fourth round and… that in the third round…”

“If she performs poorly in the third round and is targeted in the fourth, victory isn’t guaranteed.”

Moonwalker didn’t respond.

But she felt Lian Xing had changed somehow.

Under everyone’s gaze, without a break, the third round of the Lunar Divine Festival began.

This was the round everyone anticipated most.

[Fertility Test]

As chosen ones of the True Spirits, vessels for the Twelve Moons, fertility was an absolute requirement.

Otherwise, their bodies couldn’t withstand contact with higher-dimensional True Spirits.

Imagine the agonizing pain of a True Spirit’s aura flooding your body.

Everyone would experience the terror of a Shining Species Beast Tamer.

Therefore, this round wasn’t for amusement, but a serious assessment.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

Four flashes of light.

A small, gilded jade bottle appeared before each of the four Beast Tamers.

[This bottle contains a single drop of a Twelve Moon’s blood, diluted trillions of times. Unlike their ethereal aura, this is true True Spirit blood. Consume it and attempt to conceive.]

[If your body cannot withstand it, the True Spirit blood will dissipate, and you will be eliminated.]

As the rules were announced, Tai Yin exhaled slowly, sitting down and closing her eyes to recover from her previous ordeal.

She was exempt from the third round, having entered through the resurrection match and possessing an innate advantage as a Pet Beast. The Lunar Divine Festival had compensated for this.

But she wasn’t discouraged.

As long as she defeated all the other Beast Tamers with absolute force in the fourth round, victory would be hers!

Meanwhile, Star Goddess, Lian Xing, and Ice Queen lowered their heads in embarrassment, holding the gilded jade bottles with stunned expressions.

Clearly, this round wasn’t what they had imagined.

They had expected a public display of physical prowess, not consuming a drop of True Spirit blood.

What a misunderstanding…

They felt ashamed of their previous impure thoughts.

Under everyone’s gaze, Nether Concubine, who already knew the rules, opened her bottle and consumed the blood without hesitation.

The others followed suit.

“Thud!”

Instantly, Star Goddess collapsed, writhing in agony, her delicate feet clenching so tightly that her toes dug into the ground.

Ice Queen, clutching her stomach, doubled over.

Nether Concubine, her face flushed, gasped for breath, exhaling waves of hot air.

Even though they weren’t Shining Species Beast Tamers, they now understood the terror Lian Xing felt when surrounded by Married Pet Beasts.

As the blood coursed through their veins, their reactions intensified.

Star Goddess, a virgin Shining Species Beast Tamer, was practically on death’s door.

However…

Under everyone’s gaze, the beings of the Moon Soul World stopped commenting, staring in disbelief at the golden-bunned, starry-eyed girl.

Despite enduring the same agony as Star Goddess from the True Spirit blood, she stood ramrod straight, her legs unwavering, her expression stoic and resolute, like a prosecutor unflinchingly facing a horde of criminals!

Lian Xing’s fans and those who knew her physical weaknesses were stunned.

What was going on…?

Had a trip to the Sea Soul World brought about enlightenment?

Lian Xing was in excruciating pain, but she silently repeated Sorrowful Saintess’s teachings:

Gradually, as the True Spirit blood intensified, the scene became increasingly indecent and erotic.

The live broadcast was temporarily cut off, restricted to Emperor-Tier Pet Beasts and Beast Tamers.

As for those below Emperor-Tier…

Not suitable for children. Watch when you’re older.

The torment of the True Spirit blood continued.

Star Goddess suffered the most, exhibiting every one of Lian Xing’s former weaknesses, writhing on the ground and babbling incoherently, her sweat and drool soaking the testing area.

Ice Queen, though not rolling on the ground, whimpered and clutched her stomach.

Nether Concubine, as a Fallen Species Beast Tamer, fared better, her reaction similar to Lian Xing’s, though she was starting to lose her balance.

Lian Xing, despite her outward composure, was in as much pain as Star Goddess.

But what did it matter?

Physical reactions were one thing, mental fortitude another.

She would not yield, no matter the torment!

Like a superheroine injected with a strange serum, captured by villains, her physical reactions, however compromising, wouldn’t shake her resolve!

Even Tai Yin opened her eyes, staring at the impassive golden-haired girl with astonishment.

All she could say was, “Amazing…”

This was a Shining Species Beast Tamer.

Star Goddess, another Shining Species Beast Tamer, was nearly dead, yet Lian Xing remained stoic.

Even Tai Yin felt compelled to study her…

Finally, after a day and night of torment, the True Spirit blood within them dissipated.

The live broadcast resumed for the audience below Emperor-Tier.

The results of the third round were announced.

[Ranked from lowest to highest.]

[Fourth place, Star Goddess, True Spirit adaptability -21398217321.]

[Third place, Ice Queen, True Spirit adaptability 177.]

[Second place, Nether Concubine, True Spirit adaptability 2190.]

[First place, Star Concubine, True Spirit adaptability 923138.]

Silence.

Though Nether Concubine and Lian Xing’s reactions were similar, their scores differed significantly.

But this was to be expected.

Lian Xing, as a Shining Species Beast Tamer, had exhibited a similar level of resilience as Nether Concubine, a Fallen Species Beast Tamer!

Meanwhile, in the distant Water Soul World, Sorrowful Saintess smiled with satisfaction as she watched the triumphant, golden-bunned girl.

The three rounds of the Lunar Divine Festival had concluded.

Star Concubine Lian Xing had secured first place in all three, one step away from ultimate victory!
