I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 514
Chapter 514: My Little Cutie
Neither An Lin nor Liu Chuchu answered Ling Ying’s questions as they were far too busy hunting down the snow soul beasts!
Five snow soul beasts pounced toward An Lin, but all of them were forced into retreat by a tornado of Divine Flames unleashed by An Lin.
Each of his attacks now possessed the power of a Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage cultivator, and if he were to unleash a full-power attack, the strength of it would approach the power of a Return to Void Stage cultivator.
“Sea of Divine Flames!”
He stepped forward as the Great Holy Flame, Heavenly Void Flame, Demonic Star Flame, and Setting Moon Flame all appeared at once, and the entire cave was instantly engulfed by boundless flames, which melted away the snow and ice, transforming the entire cave into a crimson pit of lava.
All twelve of the snow soul beasts howled in anguish as if they had been struck by the terrifying flames.
All of them gathered together to create a mysterious spell formation, thereby materializing an icy blue, crystalline ball, which exuded the power of extreme frost, to keep the flames at bay.
“They’re just making a last-ditch effort! They won’t be able to keep this up for much longer!” Xue Zhantian rallied the troops with an uplifting cry.
“Hmph!” Liu Chuchu drew her bow to its fullest extent as the projection of Kun Peng appeared behind her. The Kun Peng projection exuded a boundless aura while its eyes glowed with majestic might, causing the white fur on the bodies of the twelve snow soul beasts to stand up on end.
A golden arrow imbued with a peerlessly sharp aura began to materialize on the bowstring.
Divine Technique—Peerless Formation-Vanquishing Arrow!
Whoosh!
The golden arrow tore through the sea of flames before striking the spell formation of the twelve snow soul beasts.
As the arrow collided with the spell formation, the space around the spell formation began to warp and crack open, creating powerful shockwaves that annihilated everything within the general vicinity.
The crystalline ball began to crack open like an eggshell as a burst of horrendous screeching erupted in the air. More and more cracks appeared on the crystalline ball as it shattered into pieces, and immediately after, the four Divine Flames engulfed the snow soul beasts, causing them to wail in anguish.
A hint of sympathy welled up in An Lin’s heart when the pristine white fur of the snow soul beasts started to show signs of being charred black, and so, he began to lower the intensity of his flames.
At this moment, Liu Chuchu had already drawn her bow for a second time—a golden arrow with a peculiar ripple running along its entire body materialized on the bowstring. The arrow glowed with a brilliant golden light as it exuded an extremely powerful sealing force.
Divine Technique—Divine Evil-Vanquishing Arrow!
The golden arrow pierced through the space before her and flew toward the snow soul beasts as it split into ten, then into one hundred, then into one thousand, before finally creating a dense shower of infinite golden arrows, which rained down onto the ground below.
The twelve snow soul beasts all felt as if their bodies had been bound by a strange force.
Not only that, even their vital energy and meridians had been sealed.
“This… this is a sealing spell technique!?”
Xue Zhantian’s large, round eyes widened in disbelief.
An Lin began to withdraw his Sea of Divine Flames upon seeing this. If he were to use his Sea of Divine Flames on the snow soul beasts when they were in such a defenseless state, then they would all be cooked soon.
A series of golden symbols descended upon the snow soul beasts, creating indestructible shackles that completely sealed all their power away.
Liu Chuchu’s pink dress billowed out around her as she explained in a calm voice, “That’s right! My Divine Evil-Vanquishing Arrow is a sealing technique. You won’t be able to use any power or vital energy for an hour.”
Thump!
All the snow soul beasts fell to the ground where they rolled around helplessly.
Upon seeing these plump, round snow soul beasts, Liu Chuchu’s calm facade crumbled while her eyes lit up.
“Wah! This one’s mine!”
She threw herself at Xue Zhantian before enveloping it in a tight hug and rubbing her delicate cheek on Xue Zhantian’s soft fur.
An Lin also threw himself at Xue Zhantian, for no reason other than the fact that it was the plumpest snow soul beast among the twelve, and it had the most lustrous fur, the biggest, roundest eyes, and the most adorable overall appearance!
He laid one hand on its plump, round body as he rubbed its nimble, intricate wings with his other hand.
“Oh! They’re snow soul beasts, but why are they so warm? I could use it as a body pillow!” An Lin exclaimed as he moved his hands all over Xue Zhantian, who lay motionless in the hands of An Lin and Liu Chuchu while wearing a suicidal expression.
“Go away! This snow soul beast is mine!” Liu Chuchu glared at An Lin.
“How is it yours? It doesn’t have your insignia on it or anything,” An Lin retorted.
“I don’t care! It’s mine!” Liu Chuchu insisted.
“It’s mine!” An Lin was unwilling to back down.
Thus, the two of them began a tug-of-war.
Poor Xue Zhantian was pulled from a round ball into a rugby ball.
“Stop this, right now! I will never bow to anyone! I’ll die before accepting you humans as my owner, so forget about trying to domesticate me!” Xue Zhantian’s eyes were bright and piercing as it revealed its teeth in an adorable, menacing way.
A bunch of snow soul beasts all rolled along the ground to save their leader, but they were all kicked aside by An Lin and Liu Chuchu.
They both clearly had their eyes set on Xue Zhantian.
“Oh! That reminds me. A beast pet contract can only be established when both parties are willing to enter the contract. We should just let Xue Zhantian choose for itself!” Liu Chuchu suggested.
An Lin considered this for a moment before agreeing to Liu Chuchu’s suggestion.
Tina and Ling Ying stood at the side silently as they watched An Lin and Liu Chuchu tussling back and forth.
Ling Ying felt absolutely nothing when she looked at these snow soul beasts.
She simply had a different standard of beauty.
She preferred creatures with lots of slender tentacles, like the octopus princess of the West Sea.
If it wasn’t for the fact that the snow soul beasts were legendary beast pets with powerful ice-type Dao foundations, she wouldn’t even bother taking the risk to come here.
“I proposed this idea, so I should be the first one to try and tame it!” Liu Chuchu took the initiative.
An Lin paused to consider this for a moment before nodding in agreement. There was no point in fighting like this as they wouldn’t be able to make any progress. Furthermore, he was confident that Xue Zhantian definitely wasn’t a creature that someone like Liu Chuchu could tame.
A joyful smile appeared on Liu Chuchu’s face, and she caressed Xue Zhantian’s soft, pristine fur as she said in a mellow, flirtatious voice, “Little Tiantian[1].”
Xue Zhantian and An Lin both shuddered in unison.
“Please be my beast pet… I’ll love you every day, I’ll play with you and feed you yummy food, and I’ll make whatever clothes, weapons, toys, or pills you want…” Liu Chuchu said in a mellow voice while showing a doting expression in her yellow eyes.
“Save it! I won’t submit to you even if the only alternative is death!” Xue Zhantian’s reply was extremely firm.
An Lin was extremely pleased to hear this. All his beast pets should have a bit of spunk and attitude about them!
Liu Chuchu was not deterred, and she continued, “If you agree to be my beast pet, I can promise to release all the other snow soul beasts!”
“Pfff!” An Lin almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Really?” Xue Zhantian’s eyes immediately lit up.
All the snow soul beasts were in an extremely vulnerable state at the moment, so Xue Zhantian had to do what was best for them as their leader. If Liu Chuchu could promise to let all of them go, then it could consider becoming Liu Chuchu’s beast pet.
“No! Of course it’s not true!” An Lin grabbed Xue Zhantian from Liu Chuchu’s arms in rage and snarled, “How dare you use such an underhanded tactic? Xue Zhantian may be the most adorable one here, but we can’t just promise to let all the other snow soul beasts go! Have you considered everyone else’s feelings!?”
Liu Chuchu pursed her lips. “We won’t be able to take these snow soul beasts back to Tai Chu Continent if they don’t accept us as their owners… I can pay you all some money if you cooperate with me and let all the other snow soul beasts go.”
“Hehe, would you believe me if I tell you that I can make all of them accept me as their owner?” An Lin sneered coldly.
“Alright then, be my guest!” Liu Chuchu challenged.
An Lin turned to the other eleven snow soul beasts as a sinister smile appeared on his face.
[1] This is an extremely cringy pet name Liu Chuchu assigned for Xue Zhantian based on the “tian” in its name.
