“Hahaha, Xiao Long, don't get mixed up in this. The Magic Wolf King's betrayal was indeed hurtful, but this magic beast lady is a cute magic beast girl just like you. How could she possibly agree to your proposal?” the White Tiger King laughed.
“I... I accept her.”
Xia Jin feigned shyness and reached out her hand toward the black-haired magic beast girl.
??
The three male magic beasts on the scene stared at her in shock.
“This...”
Even the black-haired girl was stunned.
“Re... Really?”
She hadn't held much hope.
But who could have imagined that this magic beast girl would actually choose her?
It was simply unbelievable.
Moreover, she could tell that the magic beast girl didn't actually like the three kings at all, but because her strength was too weak, she didn't dare refuse any of them. By speaking up now, she was clearly seen by the other party as providing a way out, which was why the girl had chosen her so quickly.
“Well, it's not like I was actually trying to help her out of a jam.”
She realized she actually quite liked this timid magic beast beauty.
Very decisively, the black-haired girl grabbed Xia Jin's hand.
“No more objections, right? Of course, you can keep pursuing her, but she has chosen me for now.”
The three mythic kings: “...”
“Um...” Xia Jin hesitated for a moment and whispered, “I want to live on the outskirts of the forest most of the time.”
“Why? The elemental energy here is so dense; you'll improve much faster,” the black-haired girl asked in surprise.
“I'm used to life on the outside. I also want to develop alongside my magic beasts. I hope to earn the right to enter this place through my own strength.”
“I see.” The White Tiger King seemed to understand something. “No wonder you've been expanding so desperately lately. However, relying purely on combat to advance is very difficult. But...”
The fellow suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a sphere of light.
“Take this. It should help you increase your strength. In a year at most, you should be able to reach Tier 7, and then you'll have a reason to come here.”
“What?” The Magic Wolf King was shocked. “You're giving away the elemental power you worked so hard to absorb?”
“Hmph, to each their own ability—that's what you said. Although I've failed for now, I will definitely win the magic beast lady's heart sooner or later.”
The White Tiger King sent the sphere into Xia Jin's hands without hesitation.
It was enough to bring tears to one's eyes.
Even the black-haired girl was dumbfounded.
【Detected high-energy crystals: 10,000 units】
In fact, Xia Jin had already sensed the energy within.
She immediately said with feigned embarrassment, “This... this isn't right.”
“It's fine. Even if you don't choose me in the end, this is a testament to my love for you.”
What a simp... a simp-tiger.
“Well, alright, I'll take it for now.”
Fantastic!
Xia Jin seriously suspected that the Zerg had done something to her body; her charm was simply too great.
However, thinking about it, it was actually quite normal.
The Princess was already devastatingly beautiful.
Once mythic magic beasts took human form, their aesthetics aligned directly with human standards (though they could still appreciate their own kind).
As such, it was only natural for the cream of the crop among human beauties to be pursued.
It seemed outrageous, but it was just human nature... or rather, magic beast nature.
...
After some more conversation, the black-haired girl decided to take Xia Jin away.
“Let's go.”
Her figure suddenly shifted, transforming into a dragon of terrifying proportions.
Just looking at it, its length exceeded a hundred meters.
“A dragon...”
“Just a sub-dragon species. No one knows where the True Dragons are.” The black-haired girl lowered her head, her massive eyes staring at the tiny figure below. “Get on.”
A finger extended toward her.
Xia Jin gave a light leap and landed in the palm of her hand.
“Off we go.”
...
Over half an hour later...
Boom!
With a flap of her wings, she plummeted vertically from several thousand meters in the air, crossing the distance in a short time to land heavily on the ground.
The gale from the wingbeats even kicked up a storm equivalent to a category ten hurricane.
The nearby zerglings became active.
Xia Jin landed gently, then watched with her own eyes as the other transformed back into the black-haired girl.
“I'll wait for you to get stronger and come back.”
“Thank you.” Xia Jin nodded.
“By the way, I wasn't just talking earlier. I really do like you a bit. Though I'm not quite sure what kind of feeling it is...”
Xia Jin: “...”
“Anyway, goodbye.”
In the next moment, the girl flapped her wings and flew away.
Only then did Xia Jin wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.
The other party really wasn't interested in her Swarm, nor had she headed toward the core region of her territory.
The Zerg Hive, which was seventy or eighty kilometers away, would also be hard to discover, so she began to feel at ease.
“This whole situation was truly off the charts.”
She hadn't expected a mythic king to suddenly show up, and even more bizarrely, to have a pack of magic beasts pursuing her.
