54: Chapter 54 Refining the Beast King's Crystal Core

Hearing this, Chen Yi rolled his eyes on the spot.

So it really is possible!

He just didn't know where to go looking for a heaven and earth spiritual treasure containing light-attribute spiritual power.

Spirit Beast Girls capable of triggering system favorability missions were already as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and Su Taotao not only possessed a hidden SSS-rank bloodline, but she was also incredibly cute.

She definitely couldn't be missed!

However, the most pressing matter at hand was still helping Lin Mengxue refine the beast king crystal core first.

In the skill manual, Ice Arrow was only the lowest-level ice-attribute move.

While having more skills was always good, Lin Mengxue already had the superior alternative skill, Breath of Ice; there was absolutely no need to waste Enhancement Points to learn such a relatively weak skill.

"Do not consume!"

As Chen Yi's voice fell, the ice-element beast king crystal core in Lin Mengxue's mouth seemed to melt instantly.

Like ice cream, it flowed down her throat and into her stomach with a refreshing chill.

In an instant, a surge of extreme cold swept through her like a raging tide.

The entire living room seemed to be enveloped by an invisible chill, making one couldn't help but shiver.

Under the impact of this extreme cold, a light blue rune quietly condensed at the center of Lin Mengxue's brow.

As time passed, the rune became clearer and clearer, eventually stabilizing on her forehead.

"So fast, is the refining already complete?"

Luo Shiyin couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Coming from a great family, she was naturally well-informed and experienced.

The spiritual power contained in a single beast king crystal core was a hundred times that of a magic beast crystal core of the same rank; the difficulty of refining it could be imagined, usually requiring a vast amount of time and energy.

Yet, Chen Yi had completed the refining so easily.

This man, is there anything he can't do?

[Ding! Luo Shiyin's favorability +2 points!]

[Current Favorability: 82 points!]

"Not yet, I've only refined the spiritual power within the beast king crystal core; next, I need to perform Energy Guidance!"

Chen Yi explained, and immediately began the Energy Guidance. "Shiyin, I can't step away right now, I have something I'd like to ask of you!"

"Little Brother Chen Yi, just say it; as long as it's something I can do, I'll help you!"

"Mhm, help me find the whereabouts of a person. Her name is Su Taotao, she's a streamer on Douyin. Her mental state might not be very good lately; if possible, you must keep an eye on her!"

"Su Taotao? I think I remember her being a Mukbang Streamer, right? Okay, I've got it!"

Although Luo Shiyin was somewhat puzzled as to why Chen Yi suddenly wanted to find a female Mukbang Streamer, she didn't know what he was planning.

But Luo Shiyin supported Chen Yi's choices one hundred percent. She didn't ask further and immediately began to take action.

As for any jealousy plot—that naturally wouldn't happen.

Because she was influenced by the Luo family's Beast Tamer ideology, she even felt that the more Contracted Spirit Beasts gathered around Chen Yi, the more excited she became!

After all, in this world, the standard for measuring a male Beast Tamer's value, besides his talent level, was the Spirit Beast Girls surrounding him.

The more Spirit Beast Girls he contracted, the stronger their bloodline rank, the higher their stage, and the more beautiful they were—it all proved that the Beast Tamer was doing better and had a stronger foundation!

And as one of the Contracted Spirit Beasts, if Chen Yi did well, her own reputation would naturally rise as well.

The only regrettable point was that once there were more Contracted Spirit Beasts, the affection she could enjoy would also decrease.

But compared to Chen Yi being able to reach the peak in the future, what did that matter?

So, why be jealous?

Quickly, she used her own resources to start looking up all information regarding Su Taotao.

After all, she was just a female streamer with no background; with the Luo family's methods, looking her up was naturally not difficult.

In less than an hour, all information about her, including all her movement trajectories, was found and laid bare.

"Eldest Miss, she is currently in Room 2025 of the Century Hotel! However, I feel this girl's state might be a bit off; it seems like she has suicidal tendencies!"

"Suicidal? What's the situation exactly?"

"We seem to have sensed a trace of the aura of demonization; it's estimated that her death shouldn't be far off!"

Hearing this, Luo Shiyin was also stunned for a moment.

A spirit beast that has already begun demonization?

Isn't that beyond saving?

But since Chen Yi said so, there must be a deeper meaning!

"Make sure to keep a close watch on her; even if she demonizes, don't let her take her own life!"

"Yes!!!"

Before long, all the information regarding Su Taotao was sent to Luo Shiyin's phone.

It could only be described as a story that would make any listener sad and any witness weep, making one feel heartache and pity for Su Taotao's encounter.

This was truly too tragic!

However, what was baffling was that Su Taotao's father was an SS-rank Beastmaster and her mother was an S-rank spirit beast; such a family background could be called a top-tier beast-taming noble family in any city.

How could they not afford to raise a foodie child?

Or was it for some other reason that they abandoned Su Taotao?

Of course, the most attention-grabbing thing was the spirit beast bloodline Su Taotao had awakened.

"Another F-rank bloodline! It seems she must be another little sister whose true bloodline is hidden for some reason, just like me and Xue'er. No wonder he told me to collect her information—"

"It was the same with Xue'er before; Little Brother Chen Yi seems to know if a bloodline is hidden just by looking at her."

"Just what kind of beast-taming talent is this? It really makes one curious!"

---

Time flew by like a white horse passing a crack; in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a burst of ice-attribute aura blooming outward.

All the energy within the beast king crystal core completely merged into Lin Mengxue's body at this moment.

Finally, she successfully broke through to the Seventh Stage of the Second Rank!

"Phew—"

"Is this the spiritual power contained in a beast king crystal core? It feels so good!"

Feeling the gentle energy of the ice-attribute beast king crystal core, Lin Mengxue stretched lazily with great satisfaction.

Her hair had been dyed snow-white by the power of the ice element, and silver-white dragon horns stood proudly atop her head, radiating an unparalleled majesty;

Even without entering her Armed Form, a snow-white tail could be seen extending from behind her, swaying gently with a hint of playfulness;

Paired with those white stockings soaked in sweat and her devastatingly beautiful face, every frown and smile of hers was like a fairy descending to earth, making people intoxicated.

To say she could topple kingdoms was perhaps truly not a joke!

"Have I achieved complete Power Manifestation?"

Lin Mengxue threw herself into Chen Yi's arms with joy. "Brother Chen Yi, thank you!"

A faint fragrance drifted from her breath, lingering around Chen Yi's nose.

At the same time, the bursts of cool sensation from Lin Mengxue's body were transmitted to Chen Yi through his clothes.

This cool feeling didn't make one feel cold; instead, it had a unique comfort, as if it could dispel the heat of summer.
