Chapitre 771: 638, reply to Lin Jingyue's fourteenth message [Second Update]_1
Lin Yi: "First, let me add an explanation. The mutated creatures summoned each day can only exist on that day and will disappear the next. On the second day, another five can be summoned."
Chrysanthemum Douluo was even more displeased after hearing this. They can't exist permanently! Without the ability to accumulate them, the idea of an army of mutated creatures he had just conceived was rendered impossible!
Lin Yi: "As for the characteristics you just asked about... They are very large, and some even possess special abilities, but they all share one common trait: pollution. Those contaminated by the pollution will, at the least, suffer from skin necrosis, and at worst, lose their lives to the netherworld. However, the pollution here has been weakened, meaning it can only be spread through contact, as the name implies—contact is required for contamination."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded, his anticipation for these mutated marine creatures growing.
Lin Yi then stretched out his right hand and flicked a red light sphere towards him.
After merging with the sphere of light, a blue halo enveloped Chrysanthemum Douluo, and at the same time, he sensed a connection being established with another plane, as if he could faintly hear whispers from the depths of the ocean.
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked around and said with a smile, "Everyone, please make some room. According to Senior Lin Yi, these things could be quite large, so be careful not to make contact with them, as you could end up with necrotic skin."
Hearing these four words, everyone couldn't wait to keep their distance and made space for Chrysanthemum Douluo.
With his eyes closed, Chrysanthemum Douluo began the summoning process. The blue ripple around him became vaster, and the sounds in his ears grew more distinct.
Soon, Chrysanthemum Douluo smelled a fishy stench specific to seawater. He turned around and slowly raised his head. A massive shadow flickered above him, gradually solidifying.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes widened in astonishment. He saw myriad tentacles stretching out in the air—a gigantic octopus!
Standing forty to fifty meters tall, its sharp fangs partly hidden, layer upon layer exuded a chilling, ghostly white terror.
"What a huge octopus!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but step back. Just then, the octopus, upon seeing the people around, immediately stretched out its tentacles as if to grab them, prompting Chrysanthemum Douluo to shout in time, "Stop!"
To his surprise, the octopus heeded his command, retracting its tentacles.
The air was filled with a foul stench. The octopus's body oozed viscous mucus, its entire form greasy and green, looking both disgusting and terrifying—enough to induce a heart attack in anyone with megalophobia.
Lin Yi: "Its true form isn't an octopus but a palm-sized octopus, the kind you can eat."
Upon hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but remark with feeling, "How polluted its habitat must be to mutate into this! And it's mutated so... terrifyingly. No, that's not right; it listens to me, so I can't scold it. Heh, the bigger and filthier, the better; it's more formidable that way."
Lin Yi couldn't smile. If this would have truly appeared on the Blue Planet after fifty years... It was hard enough for everyone in the bizarre Soul Land to accept, let alone for the ordinary people of the Blue Planet—it would be a disaster.
Bi Bidong, holding her nose, said, "It's so stinky! Just the smell is enough to make me want to vomit. No wonder contact causes skin to necrotize. I'm never eating octopus again. Yue Guan, one is enough; keep the remaining four to admire at your leisure!"
Thousand Waves also covered his nose, "I'm warning you, don't summon them in the Martial Soul Hall!"
Even Chrysanthemum Douluo found his Red Advanced reward somewhat distasteful. He obeyed the command and dismissed the giant octopus, not continuing to summon the other four.
Amidst the offensive attacks of the remaining elders, Ju Zi began to seriously consider how to obtain personal belongings from Lin Yi.
The temptation offered by Princess Xue Ke was simply too alluring.
But Ju Zi was aware that Lin Yi couldn't be ignorant about taking private possessions; after all, he could see everything during the auction, which put her in a difficult position.
However, upon closer inspection, Lin Yi realized that aside from the thin clothes on his body, there weren't any private possessions left. Maybe he could go to Lin Yi's room at night, pick something at random that wasn't very useful to Lin Yi, honestly state his intentions, and Lin Yi probably wouldn't disagree...
Ju Zi naively thought her plan was feasible.
Apart from Chrysanthemum Douluo, the attacks made by the rest of the Elder Council were basically oscillating between causing downgraded damage and lackluster rewards, with nothing impressive enough to discuss.
Lin Yi opened the chat interface; today, he already replied to 13 messages from Lin Jingyue, calculating the time, she should be sending the 14th message any moment now.
As expected, the notification sound for new messages quickly popped into his mind.
After last night, Lin Yi had specifically set a special notification sound for Lin Jingyue's chat box, to avoid missing a reply.
『Zero』: Another ten years have passed, and this marks the one hundred and fortieth year of missing the Ancestral Patriarch.
Ancestral Patriarch, Jing Yue is a bit puzzled, why haven't I become pregnant with your child yet? After all, my second and third sisters' great-grandchildren have already settled down and started their businesses, and they had no problems with giving birth. Could it be that our position is incorrect? (Shy)
Ahem, Ancestral Patriarch, Jing Yue has something she must confess to you. A year ago, I tacitly allowed the development of brothel businesses in Da Qian, don't scold me! Hmph, if you're going to scold, do it to my face, it's not like I can't handle it...
The main reason was to openly learn how those girls serve men so I can serve you better, because I remember you had virtually no expression throughout... This made me quite insecure, and I thought it was because I had no charm, not blaming You, Ancestral Patriarch.
But I swear, Jing Yue didn't glance at any man in the brothels! And I always disguised myself as a man when going in and out, never revealing my identity, so rest assured on that front.
...
After reading this message, Lin Yi was shocked.
What was this person thinking? Not dealing with governance properly, spending every day studying this stuff?
But this gave Lin Yi a sense of freedom that Soul Land didn't have, an air of freedom the small plane suddenly imparted...
Ahem, forget it, having Lin Jingyue is enough, she is a genuine beauty, what do I need bicycles for.
After some thought, Lin Yi replied:
『Lin Yi』: It might be due to my unique identity or perhaps the frequency is too low to hit the jackpot with the child issue; in any case, I have to criticize you. Managing Da Qian properly is the key, how can you think of such trivial matters? Of course, this doesn't mean you should close down the brothels...
Lin Yi patiently sent Lin Jingyue a long string of replies. Lin Jingyue's messages had a character limitation, but Lin Yi's didn't, so in order not to make the little girl feel neglected, Lin Yi put a lot of effort into every reply.
After sending the message and tossing the final reward to the last Elder, Lin Yi looked towards Tiandou and said, "Next."
ps. I'd like to recommend a new book from an old friend:
God-Level Beast Taming: Starting With an SSS-Ranked Beast Girl Contract
I found it quite interesting; if you're interested, feel free to give it some support.
