The Saintess Has A Showdown 501

Chapter 501: Shui Yuefei and the Dark Night Concubine: A Marketing Ploy?

[?Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa?]
[??Ice Forged Decapitator??]
[???Lian Huan Bai Mei (Love Illusion White-browed Concubine)???]
[??Nether Spring Narcissus??]
[???Nether Princess Bai Xue???]
[??Purgatory Crimson Halberd??]
[??Sinking Moon Prison Master??]
[?Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower?]

Having consumed two mythical core fragments and awakened the White-Browed Concubine, Gong Lianyue now officially possessed seven legendary spirit beasts.

The Ice Banquet Cold Rakshasa, the current Frozen Calamity; the Ice Forged Decapitator, one of the Ten Sacred Waters; the Nether Spring Narcissus, of the same lineage as the Lord of the Nether Spring, a titled legendary being; the Nether Princess Bai Xue, of the same lineage as the Snow Monarch, another titled legendary being; the Purgatory Crimson Halberd, inheritor of Yu Jinfei’s core, surpassing even its predecessor; Lian Huan Bai Mei, the White-Browed Concubine, one of the original Seven Concubines; the Sinking Moon Prison Master, a unique, semi-divine being; and the Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower, although still a Saint-rank, capable of defeating even titled legendary beings.

In fact, it could be said that Shui Yuefei was now a Concubine-in-waiting.

She was very likely to become one of the Seven Concubines, a human Spirit Master ascending to such a position… if one ignored the two fin-like appendages that had sprouted from the ends of her hair.

–Within the central palace of the Black Tide Ancient City.

Gong Lianyue, the blue-haired, teardrop-eyed woman, clad in a transparent bathrobe, sat nervously beside the black-haired woman’s throne.

The Dark Night Concubine, one of the Supreme Seven Concubines, its gaze fixed on Shui Yuefei’s figure, a predatory glint in its eyes, as if it wanted to peel off her bathrobe and examine her more closely.

“You’re so strong and reliable~~~” it purred.

“Huh?” Gong Lianyue’s hair stood on end, and she shifted uncomfortably, avoiding the Dark Night Concubine’s gaze.

And then, the Dark Night Concubine stood up, sat down beside her, their bodies almost touching, and took her hand, its other hand gently stroking the soft, watery strands of her hair.

“So strong… to even defeat Zhirifei, the Weaver of the Sun.”

“…”
“…”

“It was just luck,” Gong Lianyue mumbled, the fin-like appendages at the ends of her hair twitching at the Dark Night Concubine’s touch, a strange, tingling sensation, like spirit energy leaking.

She didn’t want to be rude, so she simply endured, her face flushing slightly.

“Perhaps it was luck this time, but seeing this… I know you’ll become incredibly powerful one day,” the Dark Night Concubine purred, its fingers gently stroking the fin-like appendages. “But my dear in-law… aren’t you being a bit bold, leaving such weapons exposed?”

“They’re so luscious~~~”

Hmm?

Something’s not right!

Realizing the Dark Night Concubine’s true intentions, Gong Lianyue looked down at the fin-like appendages in alarm.

Did it think that her hair could be used like tentacles?

As the Dark Night Concubine’s fingers stroked them, the fins twitched and pulsed, then erupted in a fountain of water, Gong Lianyue’s body stiffening.

[The following 1000 words have been omitted.]

The Dark Night Concubine… it had been serious!

Apparently, in the spirit world, any body part capable of channeling spirit energy, regardless of its shape or intended purpose, was considered a weapon, or perhaps a more accurate translation would be a sensitive appendage.

And she, having absorbed mythical fragments, had inadvertently developed such appendages… and they had been seen…

And the Dark Night Concubine… what was it doing to its in-law?!

Mortified, Gong Lianyue quickly gathered her hair and held it protectively, preventing any further exploration.

She herself had long coveted the Jade Concubine’s ample bosom, but this relationship with the Dark Night Concubine… it was just weird.

But perhaps… a bit of strategic CP marketing with the Dark Night Concubine could attract more visitors to Water Moon Shadow…?

The Dark Night Concubine reluctantly withdrew its hand, then, emboldened, leaned closer, its arm around Gong Lianyue’s waist, its breath warm against her ear.

“The wedding is tomorrow. Be good to Xiao Yu, okay?~~~”

“I… I understand…” Gong Lianyue stammered, catching a whiff of the Dark Night Concubine’s sweet, peachy scent, the same as the Jade Concubine’s. Like mother, like daughter.

Such a gentle, wifely demeanor, and yet… Appearances could be deceiving. This Dark Night Concubine had a hidden, lewd side, its gaze fixated on her unfortunate hair.

Fleeing the Dark Night Concubine’s palace, Gong Lianyue couldn’t even look at her own hair.

Her hair had become a sensitive appendage, and it had been exposed.

From now on, everyone in the spirit world would likely scream and run, or worse, mock and ridicule her…

Gong Lianyue’s mind raced, thinking about the other spirit beasts’ sensitive appendages.

For the plant-type flower spirits, it was obviously their tentacles and buds. The Myriad Spirit Flower Ring was practically a den of iniquity.

Elemental spirit beasts could also manipulate their fluid forms, making every female elemental spirit beast a walking well, you get the picture.

The scorpion had its tail, the rabbit its ears, even the little fox had its tail tentacles.

And the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s… that would be its small, unassuming tail. She remembered it spending hours staring at its reflection, sighing…

Thinking about that small, delicate tail, Gong Lianyue couldn’t help but chuckle.

The White Flower Moon-Treading Deer… it also had its cute side…

She had initially thought the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer’s desire to “grow up” referred to its chest, but now she understood.

Wait, could that be why it hadn’t wanted to form a contract with her? Too embarrassed?

As Gong Lianyue was lost in thought, two of the Ten Palace Ghost Concubines approached.

Although rumored to be terrifying ghosts, the Ten Palace Ghost Concubines were actually quite beautiful, their reputations undeserved.

Han Ming Huangling, the Second Ghost Concubine, and Ye Hunluo, the Eighth… Realizing this, Gong Lianyue quickly tried to hide her fins, but the shimmering water droplets dripping from them were hard to miss.

Both Ye Hunluo and Han Ming Huangling noticed, their eyes widening, their faces a mixture of shock.

As the blue-haired woman, clutching her hair, fled, they stared at each other, speechless.

“…”
“…”

[Second Sister, did you see that? So luscious!!!]

[Yes, let’s use this wedding as an opportunity to debut Shui Yuefei as the Black Tide Ancient City’s new idol! She’ll be a sensation!!!]
