Xue Li’s priest staff erupted with dazzling holy light, engulfing the entire temple. In an instant, every member of the Mie Tian guild within was vaporized.
Just an instant, less than a second.
That was the saint rank.
“Was it smooth finding them?” I asked.
“After I found Alexia and Xue Li, Xue Li — that cat-eared saint — asked me a few questions. I answered, and they agreed to come with me,” Ning Ning explained.
So those questions were the key to completing the task.
Probably similar to what that pet trainer asked me…
I didn’t think much about it.
“What about the other task? Did you hand in the item dropped from Hell difficulty? Is it a main quest?” I asked again.
“It’s part of the main quest! The item has been passed to them too! The next step is to investigate the snowfield near Mino City and find the remains of a giant beast. Fairy Sister and the others have already gone ahead. After I answered the questions and explained the temple’s situation, these two saint-ranked NPCs teleported me here.”
I nodded, inhaled deeply the lime fragrance from Ning Ning’s hair, feeling my wandering soul finally return to its dwelling, my mind tranquil.
“Let’s go. Enter. The Mie Tian guild members are all dead.”
The ground was littered with dazzling unowned equipment, from green to blue, and I even spotted some blue-grade items with a hint of purple — rare goods!
We’re rich again! Players really are the most cost-effective monsters!
“Wel…come… your… arrival… heir of Princess Sheng… Leturas… has not… betrayed… the oath… of the stars!”
Even battered and bruised, Leturas gasped, leaning on his giant sword as he knelt before me.
“Stop kneeling…”
My words were useless. I’d tried before; I didn’t have the authority to command a boss.
“You’ve worked hard, Leturas. Rest well.” Xue Li waved her hand, and Leturas’s body slowly dissipated into the air, whether dead or teleported somewhere I didn’t know.
“We meet again. I never thought you’d be the descendant of Princess Sheng…” The cat-eared Xue Li casually descended beside me, slung an arm around my shoulder like a buddy, then sighed deeply. “Time flies. It’s only been a few days since I last saw you, and in the blink of an eye, you’re about to have a child…”
???
What the hell? The wind was too loud, I didn’t hear clearly. Senior Xue Li, what did you just say? What? What child?
“I didn’t expect you to sign a master-servant contract with that human, and now you’re about to have a child. I thought you were both adventurers… By the way, isn’t one bottle of Mother-Child River Water too little? Advancement has a success rate. One bottle might not guarantee success…”
!!!
What? Senior Xue Li, what are you saying? Why can’t I understand? What advancement success rate? What child?
Xue Li grinned mischievously. “Hey, I happen to have a skill book that produces Mother-Child River Water. Since we’re fated, I’ll give it to you for free, okay?”
No thanks, get lost.
“Aww, don’t be shy~ Everyone has a first time~” The lofty 180-level saint-ranked NPC Xue Li winked and nudged my shoulder meaningfully, like those seemingly friendly uncles on the street who suddenly strike up a conversation with a story to tell. Their opening lines are usually the same — ‘Hey buddy, want a disc?’
No thanks, get lost.
Xue Li reached into thin air and somehow pulled out a golden skill book!
Oh my god, gold! Artifact grade!
“Thank you, Senior Xue Li!” Yingning gratefully accepted the skill book, looking at me expectantly — with a way to produce Mother-Child River Water, Xiaoya would eventually advance successfully!
[**Skill Book (Artifact)**]
At the sight of the name, my mind buzzed. It felt like the sky was falling.
[Item Description: Teaches the skill ** upon use.]
[Skill Description: Using ** produces Mother-Child River Water.]
[**Mother-Child River Water (Artifact) (Pet Item)**]
[Item Description: Proof of deep master-servant bond. Upon use, there is a chance for a fox-type pet to advance. Advancement success rate: 30%. If the pet’s gender is ♀, using it will definitely add one layer of the ‘Pregnant’ buff. (Note: Number of Pregnant buffs affects the probability of multiple births.)]
My vision went black, and I collapsed into Yingning’s arms.
What kind of terrible game is this! I don’t want to live!
And what terrifying principle is parthenogenesis?
More terrifying still, Yingning cheerfully clapped her hands together, and the artifact-level skill book turned into white light, merging with her body, imprinting the skill onto her soul forever.
Thankfully, the skill wasn’t as awful as I imagined. It just created a progress bar when Yingning used it. Once the bar filled, a clear bottle of Mother-Child River Water would appear in her hand.
It was a magical item, not some filthy real-world thing. It was just the skill book’s name that made me want to complain…
“Nine-tailed foxes have always been auspicious beings, as well as totems of vitality and fertility. Legend says that worshipping a nine-tailed fox can bring prosperity to one’s family — and that’s not groundless.” Xue Li slapped my shoulder heartily. “Different races have different advancement methods. For the fox race, it’s drinking Mother-Child River Water. And every time they advance, they have to drink it…”
Every time they advance, they have to drink it…
In that instant, I felt like ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through my heart…
I was utterly defeated. Without a word, I lay limp in Yingning’s arms.
Mom, I don’t want to play online games anymore! Send me to Professor Yang! Boohoo…
Just as I was despairing, in a daze, I felt something pry open my mouth. A cool, slightly sweet liquid poured into my throat, flowing into my body, turning into a warm current that surged through my limbs and bones. I couldn’t help but moan in comfort, my consciousness growing fuzzy.
“No advancement… Sigh… Oh well… One more bottle…”
A familiar voice echoed in my ears, but I was too dazed to remember who it was.
My lower lip was pressed down, and another stream of liquid poured into my throat…
Gulp, gulp, gulp—
Mmm~ So comfortable~ I want more~
“Still no advancement… One more bottle!”
Gulp, gulp, gulp—
“Still no advancement… One more!”
Gulp, gulp, gulp—
“I don’t believe it! Xiaoya! Even if I exhaust myself today, I’ll help you advance!”
Gulp, gulp, gulp—
“One more!”
Gulp, gulp, gulp—
“I still don’t believe it!”
Gulp, gulp, gulp—
When I came to my senses, I shook my belly, and it sloshed like an ocean inside.
And when I shifted my gaze to the buff bar, my vision darkened again. Weakly, I fainted once more.
[Status: Pregnant — 28 stacks.]
