章 32: Chapter 32 - New Summons
After having his new summons, Lev then started petting them one by one before looking at Zhu Zhuqing and Sia. This would probably be their first time seeing it since there's no other creature like this in this world which he then began introducing them, "You see, these foxlike creatures were called Pokemons and they could only be found in the Pokemon world. They were called Eevee and were a normal type Pokemon, however, they were special in some way as they were known for being the Pokemon with the highest number of evolution possibilities, due to their unstable genetic makeup."
"On the other hand, these three toads, hmmm, how should I put it, well it doesn't really matter, all you need to know is that they came from the world of Naruto as one of the most recurring summoned creatures in that world." Lev followed while looking at the toads occupying his head and shoulder.
"So, they aren't spirit beasts but called Pokemon instead? So weird." Zhu Zhuqing said while looking at the Eevees as no matter how she looked at them, she could not treat them as spirit beasts.
Lev just laughed at it as he somehow understood how she could say that since as a person living in the Douluo continent, any creatures that aren't human would be considered spirit beasts. With that, he then started explaining the general idea of Pokemon so she could better picture them.
After half an hour of talking, Zhu Zhuqing and Sia's eyes kept sparkling with excitement as they both asked, "Is there really such a world?"
"Yes, and there are other worlds more interesting than that." Lev answered with a smile while melting from cuteness seeing the Pokemons and listening to them as actually seeing them in real time really were much cuter than looking at them in some illustration.
Sia after hearing Lev suddenly walks towards the Eevees. The Eevees, on the other hand, looked at her and sniffed her. They felt on guard at first but after sniffing her for a while, they realized that she had Lev's scent around her causing them to lower their guard as they went to Sia and rubbed their heads in her too.
"Master, they were so cute. Can I raise one of them?" Sia immediately asked while stroking the heads of the Eevees. Rubbing their soft fur makes her want to embrace them all day and so she asked if it would be possible.
"That's what I'm thinking." Lev then answered thinking that he didn't have enough time to take care of them especially since he still had these three toads with him.
Hearing Lev's response, Sia immediately picked one and embraced it. Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lev first before also moving and picking one for herself, as she didn't want to be left behind and wanted to raise such cute Pokemon too.
Meanwhile, the last Eevee who was not chosen felt sad after being left alone. Seeing Sia and Zhu Zhuqing petting the other Eevees, it feels betrayed and it hurriedly runs towards Lev while having a crying expression on its face.
"Don't worry, I will let you meet your other master soon." Lev said as he picked up the Eevee since he already had someone in mind to take care of her. Hearing that, the Eevee in his arms understood and it immediately became happy and snuggled in his arms.
Right after that, Lev then ordered the three toads to come down and they did it immediately.
"You three were still young. I will train you properly and make you much stronger. Stronger than what you originally were." Lev smiled excitedly while looking at none other than, Gamabunta, Gamahiro, and Gamaken in their young versions.
"Yes, Master." Gamabunta, Gamahiro, and Gamaken replied simultaneously, surprising Zhu Zhuging and Sia who were busy petting their Eevees.
"What???!! Master, they can talk?" Sia immediately rushed as she looked towards the ordinary toads with a questionable yet surprising look on her face thinking how they could talk.
The same thing happened with Zhu Zhuqing as no matter how she thinks about it, an animal that can talk is way more unique than those with good appearances or big sizes. Seeing such a thing unfolding, she then realized that no wonder Lev paid more attention to them and let them outside unlike those goblins earlier.
"Yes, they could." Lev answered as he opened the system store and bought something and gave it to them.
"Lev, what is this?" Zhu Zhuqing curiously asked while looking at the round ball that Lev had given them. Since it came from Lev, she thought something might be special to them and so she looked at them with interest.
"That thing is called Pokeball. It is an item used to catch and contain a Pokemon. Well, let me show how it works." Lev answered before he looked at the Eevee in his arms. Knowing Lev's intention, the Eevee immediately pushed the button of the Pokeball and mysteriously absorbed it inside.
Following that, Lev held the Pokeball before throwing it out and the Eevee showed up afterward.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Sia were completely surprised after seeing the Eevee disappear and appear again. They looked at the Pokeball in their hands before copying what Lev did from which their respective Eevees immediately do the same.
By doing so, Zhu Zhuqing and Sia have now come to understand the concept behind the Pokeballs which makes them excited about it knowing how convenient it was.
"Though having them in Pokeballs was convenient, I still want to you summon them outside and let them experience the world." Lev then said. Unbeknownst to them, though they were inside the Pokeball, he could still actually summon them directly because they were originally his.
Right after that, Lev and the others then enjoyed that day together with their Pokemon as Lev also told them the skillset of the Eeves and their evolutions making Zhu Zhuqing and Sia wonder about before coming into a wall as they couldn't decide which one to choose and so Lev let them have the time to think about it.
On the other hand, Lev did not forget about the toad trio as he also spent some time and True God Coins to buy some equipment for them. He knew for a fact that they were young and probably didn't much know about themselves however, it also gave them the potential to grow even further.
________________
---Two days later---
Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well,
It has been already two days since Lev, Sia, and Zhu Zhuqing have stayed in Dugu Bo's territory. They have already roamed every nook of the area to have themselves something to do. This time, however, something new was completely happening seeing Zhu Zhuqing sitting cross-legged with both hands crossed over her ample chest, quietly absorbing a medicine.
"Just what is that herb, master? How come Zhuqing is still like that even after a few minutes have already passed?" Sia, who was sitting beside Zhu Zhuqing, curiously asked while looking at Zhu Zhuqing. They were actually having a normal conversation earlier but stopped midway after Lev brought up a medical herb.
"Hmmm. That thing is called Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone. Its function is to soften the muscle and mend a bone, clearing the eight extraordinary meridians. Zhuqing consuming such thing would only help her get stronger." Lev answered while caressing Sia's head. It was only now doing he remembered that he had all the important treasures in this garden and so he immediately gave Zhu Zhuqing one.
Amid their waiting, two people suddenly arrived just outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and Lev immediately felt their presence, however, after waiting for a while, he then just smiled upon feeling a familiar spirit signature.
"Young Lord, Dugu Bo has come back." The man who just arrived was none other than Dugu Bo who was now together with another person. He bowed down with great respect before his eyes shifted towards Zhu Zhuqing who was in the middle of meditating.
"Mmmm." Lev nodded before looking at them with a smile which his gaze then immediately looked at the person beside him which just like what he told back to Dugu Yan back then, they really did meet once again.
"Yan, greet the Young Lord immediately." Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan. Seeing her still standing while looking a bit surprised, he immediately reprimanded her as Lev was someone who would be saving her life.
"Lev, nice seeing you again." Dugu Yan woke up upon hearing her grandfather and she then immediately calmed herself down and greeted Lev excitedly. She never would have thought that she would see him again soon as she really felt much lack of motivation recently after parting ways with him back in Great Spirit Arena.
"Yan, what are you saying?! You should call the Young Lord, Young Master." Dugu Bo reprimanded Dugu Yan seeing how she casually mentioned his name. He then just looked at Lev wanting to see his reaction and was ready to apologize for her behavior.
"It's okay, senior Dugu. I haven't told you this, but we have actually already met back in Suotuo City." Lev interrupted while smiling upon seeing the grandfather-granddaughter pair. Seeing them now, he really could tell the resemblance of the two.
Hearing Lev, Dugu Bo was surprised by his words as this was the first he had heard about this. He then just looked at her granddaughter in disbelief about why she didn't tell him about it during their journey.
"To stay true to my words. This Angel's Tears would now be yours." Lev then said before taking out one of Angel's Tears that he had and gave it to Dugu Bo. Since they were now on the same side, he had already planned on helping them not just Dugu Yan but also Dugu Bo as having another Titled Douluo on his side was more helpful.
"Drink it and take this. Consume it. I will guarantee that it will greatly help you." Lev then said as he also took out another medicinal herb in his inventory and gave it to Dugu Yan. With that, he was sure that both she and Zhu Zhuqing would become completely different people when they woke up.
"Thank you, Young Lord." Dugu Bo immediately gave his thanks to Lev. Seeing that her daughter would soon break the shackles of his cursed blood, he felt like his purpose in life had already been fulfilled but he still wouldn't let go until he would repay Lev.
With that, Lev then told Dugu Yan the way to consume the medicinal herb which Dugu Bo also supported. Completing the preparations, Dugu Yan then finally in the midst of meditation followed the instructions of his grandfather and Lev.
"Senior Dugu, I would like to talk things with you while we are waiting." Lev then said as he looked at Dugu Bo thinking that it was now time to talk about his plans for the following years.
With that, Lev and Dugu Bo then left the place leaving behind Sia and the three Eevees to look after Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan.
________________
Hot Spring,
Taking a dip in the hot spring, Lev and Dugu Bo felt blissed upon having much time to relax. The two completely forgot about everything for a while before Lev brought up the things he would like to talk about.
"Senior Dugu, I will leave this place soon and the time I will be back will be unknown. So, I plan on leaving Zhu Zhuqing in your care. If you still didn't know, she was actually part of Star Lou Empire royalty." Lev said as he looked at Dugu Bo with a smile. He knew that he didn't know about it since he didn't really care about such a thing.
"Also, I would like you to take care of them too." Lev followed before summoning the five goblins which greatly surprised Dugu Bo. Thinking about them, he felt guilty not taking them outside as they really were just too ugly to look at however, since they were still his summons, he wouldn't cut their way to get stronger.
"Take this." Lev still wasn't done as he took out a spatial ring in his inventory and threw it towards Dugu Bo as the content inside was something of no use to them and instead of letting them rot inside his inventory, he might as well let Dugu Bo make good use of them.
"Inside that spatial ring consist of treasures that I have accumulated so far. You can do whatever you want with them. Give the appropriate ones to Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan while I'm away while there might probably also something useful to you." Lev lastly said as he looked at swimming Gamabunta, Gamahiro, and Gamaken in the hot spring.
Dugu Bo listened carefully to each one of Lev's words not wanting to miss anything. Though he was curious about the sudden appearance of the Goblins, he didn't question them. He, however, looked at the content of the spatial which greatly widens his eyes upon seeing several soul bones of different ages inside it.
With that, Lev and Dugu Bo continued to have a serious conversation as Lev started talking about his plans after his return. Exchanging ideas and information made their conversation progress smoothly as they have already picture out the direction that Lev have already decided.

---Night---
Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a small gathering could be found seeing a group of mixed people and creatures sitting around the table eating together. The ambiance could be described as harmonious seeing the smiling faces of everybody while eating the food presented on the table.
"Master, I have already decided which evolution my Eevee would be." Sia suddenly said as he looked at Lev with a smile on her face. Upon thinking about it carefully for the past few days, she has finally chosen which path her Eevee would evolve to.
"Really? Tell me then." Lev then replied while looking at Sia since he would only be the one that could help them in this world since the material/item that they needed was something nonexistent in this world.
With that, Sia then started telling Lev about it from which Zhu Zhuqing also told Lev about her choice as she also already decided which path her Eevee would take. Hearing their thoughts, Lev couldn't help but smile as he more or less predicted that it would be their choice.
"Yan Yan, how about I choose for you." Lev, after being satisfied with Sia and Zhu Zhuqing's decision, then looked at Dugu Yan since he had already decided that the last Eevee that he had would be hers.
Hearing Lev, Sia looked at Dugu Yan excitedly. Though they still haven't known each other that much, she felt like they would become close just like Zhu Zhuqing. Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, looked at Dugu Yan seriously as she was actually surprised to see her after waking up earlier which only made her forget about the changes inside her as she felt a sense of urgency remembering that she had a thing for Lev. Recalling Sia's words back then, a sense of rivalry sprouted within her as she decided to be Lev's first.
"Mmmm." Dugu Yan shyly nodded as he looked at Lev. She actually had no idea what they were doing but seeing Sia and Zhu Zhuqing having two identical creatures beside them, she more or less thought that the last one who was looking at her cutely was probably hers.
"Good. I will prepare all the materials tonight. Since this will be our very first gathering, let's just enjoy this night and forget about the world temporarily." Lev then declared as he looked at them with a smile. He has actually arranged this sudden and small celebration as he already decided to leave early tomorrow morning.
With that, Lev, Sia, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, and his summoned creatures eat the food that he made to their hearts' content. Throughout the night, the girls found some time together to know more about each other while Lev and Dugu started drinking together. With smiles on their faces, each one of them then sleeps peacefully afterward.

Spirit City,
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, a beautiful lady with fair skin and a perfect complexion with an air of noble radiance. She was dressed in black gilt-lined luxurious robes, wearing a nine-tipped purple gold crown with a more than two-meter-long scepter in her hand, inlaid with countless precious stones.
"I heard the news that Renxue's plan was discovered." The woman said as she looked at the two Titled Douluos in front of her while she sat comfortably on her throne. She has known their identities since they are pretty much under her control.
"Yes, Supreme Pontiff." Hearing the Supreme Pontiff, the two Titled Douluo immediately answered.
"Hmmm. Let me hear the story then." The woman followed.
With that, the two Titled Douluos then started explaining everything in detail about what happened back in Heaven Dou City, and an hour after that, they were ordered to withdraw leaving the woman alone inside the palace.
'This failure will reduce the chances of completely unifying the mainland. Now, Heaven Dou Empire might already be taking precautions for the upcoming war. Looks like we need to speed up the plan before Heaven Dou Empire will unite with the Star Lou Empire.' The woman thought as she carefully faced the situation.
Following that, the woman waved her hand and two unknown people suddenly appeared kneeling in front of her.
"Find this young man for me." The woman ordered.
"As you wish, Supreme Pontiff." The two unknown people respectfully answered before disappearing into the palace.
"Lev, huh? Interesting." The women softly murmured. This woman with great authority that even two Titled Douluos respected and feared was none other than, the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong.
________________
---The next morning---
On the outskirts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Lev could be found together with Dugu Bo talking at each other. As Lev decided, he would be leaving the place and start heading towards his target destination.
"Senior Dugu, I will leave all the explanations to you when they wake up." Lev said as he looked at Dugu Bo. He actually chose to leave without telling Zhu Zhuqing about it since he felt like he would be unable to resist if she insisted on coming. As he was heading to a dangerous place, he wouldn't risk bringing her with him so leaving her under Dugu Bo was far safer.
"There's no need to worry, Young Lord." Dugu Bo replied with assurance as he had already been told everything that he needed to do while he was away. Though he has also felt eager to follow, he felt like his presence would only hinder his growth and so he will focus his attention on all his orders instead.
"Then, let's meet again when the time is right. Right, take this." Lev then finally bade his farewell before giving him something with a smile. He looked at the place for the last time before disappearing in an instant leaving Dugu Bo alone in the area.
"I wish you good luck, Young Lord." Dugu Bo said as he bowed before looking at the thing Lev had given him. His eyes completely widened with surprise upon seeing Angel's Tears. He then immediately looked at Lev to give thanks, but it was already too late seeing not even his shadow was present.
