Ye Chen had heard what Little Wingsy said. Little Squido was controlled by Ye Chen’s Astral Body. As long as it remained within ten miles of Ye Chen, they would not lose it. There was no need to slow the ship down, so Ye Chen said with a smile, “Let Little Squido play in the sea then.”
Little Wingsy carried Little Squido and walked to the ship’s railing.
“Little Squido, I’m putting you down now,” Little Wingsy said and released Little Squido. Little Squido dropped into the water with a splash.
Ye Chen’s Astral Body detected that Little Squido was unusually active after entering the sea. It swam around swiftly, swoosh swoosh swoosh, like a bolt of lightning.
It was much faster than this tower ship.
Little Squido was catching fish to eat. Ye Chen and Little Tanuki exchanged a glance and laughed. Although Little Squido might have lived for a long time, in terms of its personality, it was nothing more than a cheery kid.
The waves were turbulent and the ship rocked ceaselessly upon the ocean. Even at this time, Ye Chen did not forget about his cultivation. There was an urgent drive in him at all times to improve his strength.
In the open sea, Water-type Celestial Chi was more intense than usual. If Ye Chen employed the Water God Discourse, he could gather all Water-type Celestial Chi within a mile. However, doing so would cause too much of a disturbance.
On the ship, there was no way to practice his martial art techniques either. Ye Chen could only sit cross-legged and cultivate, mobilizing the Flying Dagger to release a torrent of Celestial Chi. Ye Chen was intentionally discharging so much Celestial Chi so that Little Tanuki who was sitting beside Ye Chen, cultivating, could absorb more Celestial Chi.
The cabin door was shut tight. Ye Chen’s Astral Body hovered through the air, distinctly sensing that Great Emperor Mingwu, Nie Qingyun, and the other Earthly Venerable experts were in their room, cultivating silently in preparation for the upcoming battle.
Although some people were not that concerned over the fate of the nation, the battle in the Exclusion Zone was also a matter of life and death. No one knew what kind of experts the Nanman Kingdom would send over, so they still felt a significant amount of pressure. The ones who were most assuredly positive about the outcome of the battle were Nie Qingyun and the old man transformed from the Eclipsing Firebird. They had witnessed the true forms of Ye Chen and Little Wingsy. With two Daemon Kings, could the Nanman Kingdom possibly do anything against them? Nonetheless, they were still cultivating diligently. If they were working for a Daemon King, they must have some capabilities. If their strength was too weak, the Daemon King would not be pleased…
The sky gradually darkened. The swaying of the tower ship diminished and specks of starlight were reflected on the sea.
In their vast surroundings, the tower ship traversing the ocean appeared to be extremely minuscule.
Ye Chen was cultivating with Little Tanuki crouching by his side. At this point, Little Tanuki suddenly glowed with a blinding white light. This milky-white glow instantly filled the room.
What was going on?
Ye Chen was alarmed as he stared at Little Tanuki unwaveringly, afraid that something had gone wrong with Little Tanuki’s cultivation. When he sensed the warm, gentle energy of the white light, Ye Chen’s heart shifted. Could Little Tanuki’s cultivation have reached a crucial moment?
In the beam of white light, Ye Chen could vaguely see that Little Tanuki had spat out the Illusory Pearl, which rose into the air. Panels of light cascaded downward like a waterfall.
Little Tanuki had devoured these beams of light, absorbing them into her body.
Ye Chen gradually sensed that the Astral Body within Little Tanuki was growing without stopping.
Little Tanuki’s strength was initially just a hair’s breadth away from Heavenly Adept Rank. At the rate by which her Astral Body was now expanding, she would enter the Heavenly Adept Rank soon.
To think that Little Tanuki would advance to another level even before he had. Ye Chen felt that he must work even harder.
Just then, Ye Chen suddenly noticed that Little Tanuki’s body was undergoing a peculiar transformation. She curled up on the bed as her body continuously grew in size. Slowly, she was transformed. Fair skin grew over her body and her face as pure and flawless as fine jade.
Ye Chen was extremely astounded by this sight. Was Little Tanuki about to transform?
Ye Chen paid close attention, staring at Little Tanuki’s face without blinking. Her face had finally taken on a human form. As Ye Chen gaped at Little Tanuki’s face, his heart seemed to stop for a second.
Little Tanuki was too beautiful.
Ye Chen had no way to describe this beauty. She was as beautiful as a dream. Even a heavenly fairy, upon seeing Little Tanuki, would feel ashamed and inferior.
With Little Tanuki’s eyes closed, her long, wavy lashes fluttered slightly. Her jet-black, lustrous hair flowed over her cheeks. Her straight, delicate nose and bright, shiny, red lips seemed to exude a refined grace in their charming allure. Her cheeks were smooth and soft. Moreover, her round face and slender eyebrows held a classical sort of appeal as if she had emerged from a painting.
As Ye Chen’s eyes moved downward, her smooth neck was as gorgeous as a swan’s. Her slim, round shoulders were sheathed in exquisite, snow-white skin. The perky, ample breasts, like those of a maiden, revealed the unique enticement of feminine contours. Her snow-lotus arms, slender delicate waist, and round supple buttocks, would cause one’s imagination to go wild.
Little Tanuki’s body still had the characteristics of a tanuki. Seven long, furry tails sprouted from her buttocks and a pair of pointy tanuki ears peeked out from the silky black hair on her head. Even so, these features did not ruin her beauty in the slightest. Conversely, they enhanced her cuteness, giving her the nobility and elegance of a princess.
Little Tanuki was like an angel or a fairy, who had descended to the human world. Anyone who saw her would helplessly fall head over heels for her. She was that beautiful without a single flaw and beautiful to a breathtaking extent.
As he stared at Little Tanuki who was in the nude, lying next to him, Ye Chen’s cheeks instantly flamed up as if they had been burned. What an embarrassing thing this was! Still, Ye Chen’s gaze could not move away from Little Tanuki’s body. She was simply stunning.
Ye Chen was barely breathing now. His eyes roamed across Little Tanuki’s generous breasts and her full round buttocks. The atmosphere was rather erotic and tender.
Ye Chen kept staring. Even if he were to die at this moment, he would die happily.
At this point, Little Tanuki murmured slightly and roused herself from her reverie.
Ye Chen suddenly panicked. If Little Tanuki knew that he had looked over her nude body again and again, would she, would she… Currently, it was too late to hate. Anxiously he looked at Little Tanuki as she opened her eyes.
Little Tanuki’s eyes met Ye Chen’s. Her eyes were like black gemstones, clear and transparent, unaffected and guileless.
“Little Tanuki, you…” Ye Chen stared at Little Tanuki and blushed. He was so nervous he did not know what to say.
“What about me?” Little Tanuki asked in confusion. Her soft voice was like a fine, gentle rain, soothing one’s heart.
“Little Tanuki, you can speak?” Ye Chen stared at Little Tanuki in great surprise.
“I can speak?” Little Tanuki blinked and looked down at her arms. Her fine, fair skin was no different from a human’s. She was full of wonder and her pointy ears twitched slightly. Supposedly, based on her current age, she should not have been able to transform or speak.
It must be because of the Illusory Pearl.
Little Tanuki looked at her delicate fingers with delight. They were like ivory, exquisite and flawless.
Little Tanuki did not notice at all that she was standing naked before Ye Chen because she was too full of curiosity toward her own new body.
The soft scent of a young maiden drifted over, causing Ye Chen’s heart to leap and frolic irrepressibly. Little Tanuki was so close he could almost touch her. She was naked, without a single stitch of clothing. Her alabaster breasts hung in the air and the two beautiful dots at their center nearly caused Ye Chen to have a nosebleed.
It was rude to stare. Ye Chen truly wanted to turn away but he could not keep his gaze away and could not help but keep glancing over.
It was just at this point that Little Tanuki’s movements nearly caused Ye Chen’s eyes to pop out of their sockets.
Little Tanuki’s slim, ivory fingers danced across her chest. That pair of ample mounds changed into various shapes under her hands. At times, deep furrows were formed. Other times, she would tug them outward. Little Tanuki looked somewhat distressed, saying, “They’re not as large as my mother’s.”
Little Tanuki looked up at Ye Chen, blinking her eyes in a naïve manner. How could she know that Ye Chen was currently filled with wicked thoughts?
“Big Brother Ye Chen, why is your face red?” Little Tanuki’s pointy ears twitched as she moved closer to Ye Chen.
“That…” Ye Chen was endlessly embarrassed. As he looked at her innocent manner, Ye Chen was thoroughly ashamed. Why was his head filled with erotic, twisted thoughts? Little Tanuki’s nose was almost touching his own. Her breath blossomed outward with a subtle fragrance.
“Big Brother Ye Chen, am I beautiful?” Little Tanuki broke out into a sweet, alluring smile, looking at Ye Chen expectantly.
“Mmm. That – Little Tanuki, you’d better put on some clothes.” As he looked at the gorgeous, tempting, sensuous Little Tanuki, Ye Chen was deeply afraid that he would lose control and do something to Little Tanuki.
Little Tanuki was too sexy and alluring. It was not surprising that people always used vixen as a manner of description. Although Little Tanuki was not a fox, she could be considered a close relative of foxes.
“Why?” Little Tanuki blinked. Her long lashes fluttered as she asked, full of puzzlement.
“Well… I’m seeing everything now.” Ye Chen’s cheeks were burning as he choked out awkwardly.
“It’s fine to have a look.” Little Tanuki revealed a charming smile. It was not a big deal to her. In her clan, her sisters were often looked at by others. There was nothing wrong with having a look, just that one must not touch. However, Ye Chen had previously touched her all over and even touched her there… As she remembered this, Little Tanuki’s cheeks turned pink.
Little Tanuki’s mother had said that females in the tanuki clan, upon transforming, should only do it for the first time with the person they loved the most. Furthermore, they could only love one person in their entire lives. Otherwise, they would rather die. As she thought of this, Little Tanuki’s mind immediately presented an image of Ye Chen.
Little Tanuki lowered her head, blushing, exhibiting an indescribable elegance and charm. Ye Chen nearly got a nosebleed.
The maidens of the tanuki clan did not mind their nude bodies being seen by others? This would not do. If Little Tanuki transformed in front of others, would she not be fully exposed?
“Little Tanuki, in the future, don’t transform in front of others. If you show yourself after your transformation, wear some clothes first,” Ye Chen said hurriedly.
