The Saintess Has A Showdown 564

Chapter 564: Gong Lianyue’s Daughter

The ruler of Water Moon Shadow, one of the Supreme Seven Concubines, Shui Yuefei, was pregnant…

During this time, most of Gong Lianyue’s old acquaintances had come to visit, including her younger sister, the Ice Eye Saintess, Gong Xingyu, who had made a special trip from the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate to offer her congratulations.

Although there was still some bad blood between her and the Cold Waterfall Heavenly Gate, she had been the one to strike first, after all.

Seeing as the Winter Bone Azure Horn had even personally cut off the essence of its own horn and sent it over as a nutritional supplement, Shui Yuefei had grudgingly agreed to reconcile and bury the hatchet.

In the short span of half a month, the Sea Concubine Palace first abolished the original positions of the Six Concubines, then established the new Water Moon Guard, a patrol team composed entirely of legendary Spirit Masters, to maintain order within Water Moon Shadow.

After all, the title of “Concubine” was now somewhat disrespectful to Shui Yuefei. While it was acceptable when she was the ignorant and fearless ruler of the nameless Sea Region, now that it had been promoted to a Sacred Domain, a certain decorum was required.

The daily influx of new tourists had reached a terrifyingly exaggerated level. Every day, the auras of legendary-rank beings could be felt streaking through the sky.

Shui Yuefei’s daughter had also been successfully born not long ago.

In the Spirit World’s reproductive system for wife-pets, the lower the rank, the faster and more numerous the offspring. For example, a Water Element could produce several hundred in a single litter, with a gestation period of less than half a day.

But at the Saint-rank, there was a huge divergence. A Variant Water Emperor had to carry its young for a week just to produce one.

And Shui Yuefei, carrying the bloodline of the Illusion Sea Concubine, had been pregnant for a full two months since their parting at the Illusion Sea Palace. This was a rather absurdly long cycle.

If all beings reproduced as slowly as they did, the Spirit World would have long been driven to extinction by legendary lords wandering the streets.

—Water Moon Shadow, Water Moon Palace—

It was a grand ice palace, adorned with veins of extremely pure crystal, its style one of extravagant luxury.

Due to its promotion to a Sacred Domain, the breadth of Water Moon Shadow’s realm was expanding daily, soon having grown to tens of thousands of times its original size.

The Sea Concubine Palace quickly followed suit, calling upon a large number of spirit beasts to accelerate the expansion, with the goal of creating a base large enough for even legendary-rank beings to manifest their true forms.

And the bedchambers of the most noble and supreme Shui Yuefei had to be even more magnificent and grand. If one didn’t use their spirit energy to scan the area, even Gong Lianyue herself might get lost inside.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp~~~~~”

At this moment, within a corridor of the Water Moon Palace, a small, snow-white and pink fox was riding on the back of a blue-haired little girl with deer antlers and a tail, galloping majestically. It would occasionally whip its tail to signal for more speed.

The two small, cute figures ran back and forth through the Water Moon Palace. Several Frost Snow Women noticed the commotion as they passed, but they all turned their gazes away with speechless expressions, unable to bear watching.

Shui Yuefei’s daughter is being ridden like a horse by her spirit beast. This bizarre scene was strange to the extreme, but as mere maids, they couldn’t say much…

The Nether Princess Bai Xue had specially created over a dozen Frost Snow Women to take care of her master’s daughter, protecting the cute little one at all times.

Shui Qingyue, daughter of Shui Yuefei!!!

It was said that this was the alias Shui Yuefei had used in her youth when she adventured alone in the outer realms and conquered all before her. It held an extraordinary commemorative significance, and her birth was even specially announced throughout the realm.

Less than three days old, and she could already crawl all over the ground on all fours. As expected of a human-spirit beast hybrid.

Although her spirit energy hadn’t awakened yet, Shui Qingyue, having inherited the Illusion Sea Concubine’s powerful physique, ran as fast as a real little deer. Several times, she almost had a pitiful fall and broke her leg.

As for her appearance, she had a head of dreamlike, crystalline, clear azure hair that was as pure and stunning as the great sea. Her face was also very young and cute, evoking pity. It was just the six teardrop-shaped beauty marks on the side of her cheek that made one feel a bit strange and uncomfortable.

【Stop playing, it’s time to be fed!!】

Suddenly, hearing her mother’s gentle call transmitted directly into her spirit core, Shui Qingyue stopped abruptly, sending the little fox flying over ten meters. It tumbled and rolled for several rounds, landing in a sorry state with little stars spinning above its head.

“Yay!” On the other side, without even giving the little fox a glance, Shui Qingyue let out a strange cheer and then eagerly galloped on her little hooves into Gong Lianyue’s bedchambers.

“Hmph, I got tired of drinking that five years ago!!” The little fox huffed as it climbed up from the ground, angrily straightening its messy fur.

That little one forgot everything else whenever it was mealtime. And that strange catchphrase… it had no idea who she had learned it from, considering she couldn’t even say other things, not even “mama.”

Inside Shui Yuefei’s bedchambers, lying on a large, soft, and cool bed, the beautiful, blue-haired woman held the sleeping little deer-girl in her arms, gently stroking her long hair.

The era of the Sorrowful Saintess had ended. Now, Shui Yuefei’s dazzling and invincible name shook the Spirit World. Besides the native inhabitants of Water Moon Shadow, who else could remember that village girl from the past with the six teardrop beauty marks on her face?

Although her daughter Shui Qingyue’s current appearance might seem like a monster to some beings, she would surely become a super Spirit Master who surpassed even her in the near future.

【The Seven Concubines meeting at the Nether Snow Sacred Domain is only two weeks away. Are you really sure there’s no problem?】

“Mm, the lost life essence has mostly recovered, and my realm has advanced further. I can face any kind of enemy now…” Hearing the Nether Princess Bai Xue’s concerned question, Gong Lianyue nodded with a calm expression.

Among the Supreme Seven Concubines, the Peach Blossom Concubine, though fickle, arrogant, and aloof, could be considered a fairly solid ally, especially with the little fox as a connection.

The Dark Night Concubine, with whom Gong Lianyue had an extremely intimate relationship, wouldn’t refuse any of her requests.

The Weaver of the Sun was a huge threat, but presumably, the focus of the upcoming meeting would be directed at her, so she likely wouldn’t have any spare energy to deal with Gong Lianyue.

The Snow Monarch, the person with the highest status in the entire Spirit World. They had met twice before, so she should still remember her. And with the Snow Woman’s connection, she would likely be biased in her favor.

The Illusion Sea Concubine… the child’s mother.~~~~

The only variable was the one known as the Spirit World’s most ferocious, terrifying, and invincible being, the head of the Six Disasters, the Moon Calamity: the White Moon Lord, one of the Seven Concubines.

Although the White Flower Moon-Treading Deer had told her during their… breaks… that her relationship with the White Moon Lord was pretty good, Gong Lianyue found it truly hard to imagine that a world-ending existence who could shatter three thousand realms with a single leap could sit calmly at a conference table and discuss matters.

“Yay, yay, yay!”

Just then, the little deer-girl, Shui Qingyue, began to stir and whimper restlessly, seemingly woken up by Gong Lianyue’s voice.

“Alright, good daughter, drink up.” Gong Lianyue immediately soothed her. This gentle, doting, wifely appearance was completely unlike that of a supreme ruler, one of the only seven Seven Concubines in the Spirit World.

And her daughter, Shui Qingyue, seemed nothing like the child of the famous Shui Yuefei, but rather like a simpleton whose entire vocabulary consisted of the word “yay.”
