Master of Nine Stars

Except for when they needed to eat, they never bullied the weak. For this race to now be part of the Soul Beast Army was a violation of the Soul Martial World’s very rules!

If the Soul Beast Army had a unique method to drag the Snow Prison Warriors into their ranks, could they have a similar way to persuade the Bailing Tree Maiden clan?

Just as this thought occurred to Fu Tiance and he was about to offer a warning, Rong Taotao spoke first.

Rong Taotao nodded with a grave expression. ”So, there’s nothing to negotiate. But since we’re old classmates, let’s just catch up. How have they been treating you, Little Apple?”

For a moment, Xu Taiping was speechless.

Rong Taotao watched Xu Taiping from a distance. Through the Snowball Cat’s eyes, Xu Taiping’s rigid expression was perfectly clear.

He clearly wasn’t doing well.

One of Rong Taotao’s objectives was to stall for time and wait for reinforcements. He would have loved nothing more than to chat with Xu Taiping for half an hour.

Rong Taotao continued, ”Isn’t that the homeland you always dreamed of? With the people you’ve always dreamed of joining? What’s wrong, not happy with your life?

”Why don’t you come back to Pine Soul Soul Martial? You won’t be able to get back into the Soul Class, but the Martial Arts Class should have an open seat.”

”Xu Fenghua’s son.” Suddenly, an androgynous voice with incredible piercing power drifted into Rong Taotao’s ears.

Rong Taotao frowned slightly. Through the Snowball Cat’s vision, he saw a bizarre creature.

’What the hell is this thing?’

’A Frost Beauty wearing a Kasaya?’

’No, that’s not right. How could a Frost Beauty have the ability to create a Kasaya made of snow?’

’If it were made of cloth, Rong Taotao could just about believe that the Frost Beauty had sewn it with a needle and thread. But this Kasaya was clearly made of snow—it was an innate part of the creature!’

’Holy shit, it’s a hybrid?’

’Do Snow Realm Soul Beasts have the concept of Pet Fusion, too?’

The Kasaya-clad Frost Beauty standing atop a Snow Rhinoceros gathered its long, grayish-white hair with both hands, revealing a strikingly attractive, androgynous face.

It gazed at Rong Taotao with eyes like gray mist and spoke softly, ”Leave this place, human. This is my final warning.”

Rong Taotao asked, ”You know my mom?”

”I do.” For some reason, a smile bloomed on the Kasaya-clad Frost Beauty’s face, a smile that grew wider and wider. ”Her hands are stained with our blood.”

”Aren’t enemies supposed to be seeing red when they meet?” Rong Taotao arched an eyebrow. ”Why tell me to leave? Are you scared?”

’Wait. No, no, no!’

The moment the words left his mouth, Rong Taotao knew something was off.

’I’m here to stall for time, so how did I fall back into my old habit of provoking people?’

’This is no way to make small talk…’

The Kasaya-clad Frost Beauty’s smile didn’t fade. It nodded gently. ”Since you’d rather not leave, then you won’t be leaving.”

The next moment, the once-somber Soul Beast Army erupted into a frenzy.

This was especially true for the rows of Moon Leopards and Snow Lion Tigers in the front. Their claws scraped restlessly at the ground. Having stood still just moments before, they now began to pace back and forth, emitting dangerous, guttural growls.

Meanwhile, in the forest to one side, branches swayed, sending snow showering down. Phantom-like figures flickered in the gloom.

’Well, at least I managed to buy a decent amount of time.’

Rong Taotao opened his hand, revealing a turquoise Lotus Petal floating gently in his palm.

He looked toward the Kasaya-clad Frost Beauty, and from behind a warthog, his face broke into a grin. ”You’d better be sure about this... You dare advance, and I’ll bury you!”

We will now randomly select over one hundred lucky Soul Beasts to be buried on this spot.

As for the number... the sky’s the limit!

The Kasaya-clad Frost Beauty’s response was a thunderous roar: ”KILL!!!”

At that exact moment, the Lotus Petal in Rong Taotao’s palm began to spin violently...
