Everyone Tames Beasts, So Why Are You Taming Goddesses? - Chapter 50

Yan Ling’er was utterly bewildered.

Her inner turmoil was no less chaotic than Kong Huanyuan’s just moments ago.

What Alia was implying was that Yan Ling’er—you were no longer human!

She glanced at Huang Wenbo with a pleading look. Huang Wenbo, now visibly awkward, had softened his attitude toward Su Yu and Alia considerably. In a quiet tone, he asked, “May I ask… what has her constitution become?”

Alia replied without hesitation, “Sequence no. 19, Moonlight Herald.”

Hiss!

The room collectively gasped, their expressions shifting dramatically.

Su Yu, however, was puzzled.

Shangguan Ling quietly transmitted a message to him: “Su Yu, this is one of the prerequisites for advancing to the Nirvana Realm.”

Nirvana Realm?

“Breaking through from the lower three realms to the middle three realms doesn’t just rely on pet beasts driving the Beastmaster forward. The Beastmaster themselves must also undergo Nirvana. Since humans don’t possess natural magic circuits, there are currently two mainstream methods to achieve this breakthrough.”

“One is the Physical Ascension Method, which involves tempering the body to an extreme stage—like your own physique training—to a minimum of Crimson Gold level. This allows the body to nourish and generate magic circuits on its own.

“The other is the Fusion Ascension Method, which involves merging with the magic circuits of other species. This method is less dangerous but has an extremely low success rate. However, if successful, it grants the Beastmaster the magic circuits of another species.”

“Alia directly fused her with the magic circuits of a high-ranking sequence, the Moonlight Herald. No matter how you calculate it, she’s profited immensely. Otherwise, if she tried to go the fusion route herself, it would take killing dozens of upper-tier sequence beings to achieve the same result.”

No wonder!

Capturing even one upper-tier sequence pet beast was no small task.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these so-called geniuses all possessed upper-tier sequence pets—they were heirs of major families. In reality, an upper-tier sequence pet beast was so rare that it was often priceless. Let alone using dozens of them to fuse and ascend—such extravagance was almost unthinkable!

Huang Wenbo fell silent.

No matter where this was viewed, anyone would say that Yan Ling’er had struck gold.

Shi Shaolong’s accusation would garner no sympathy.

Huang Wenbo forced a smile. “Well, it seems this was just a misunderstanding. As long as it’s clarified, that’s fine. Can Yan Ling’er come back with me now?”

Alia interrupted, “Wait!”

“This queen hasn’t finished speaking yet. The Moonlight Herald requires one drop of this queen’s blood every month. Otherwise, during a full moon, she’ll die. Violently. Do you want to watch her die?”

“If so, feel free to take her. Otherwise, from now on, she’s this queen’s servant. This queen isn’t so kind as to provide her blood to outsiders for free.”

Huang Wenbo stared at Alia in shock.

The other elders exchanged glances in hushed whispers.

This… was a checkmate.

Even if the head of the Yan family came, they wouldn’t blame Alia. On the contrary, they’d likely be grateful to her, as the Yan family would gain an exceptionally talented Beastmaster.

Yan Ling’er teared up, her large eyes brimming with distress. “I don’t want to be a Moonlight Herald… Can’t you turn me back?”

Alia shook her head. “This queen can’t do that.” Then, with a mischievous smile, she lifted Yan Ling’er’s chin. “Your blood is fragrant. While it doesn’t compare to the little one’s, if you stay with this queen and the little one, you won’t be mistreated.”

For Alia to advance from the Metamorphosis Realm to the Nirvana Realm, she required 20,000 liters of blood.

Su Yu’s blood had already been cycled through almost a hundred times, leaving Alia feeling somewhat guilty.

Huang Wenbo took out his phone and sent a message to Yan Ling’er’s father. Shortly after, he received a reply.

“Yan Ling’er, this is from your father.”

Yan Ling’er took the phone, read the message, and turned pale.

Huang Wenbo consoled her. “Sigh, since this is your father’s decision, the school won’t interfere. As for you and Shaolong…”

“Principal Ning, Vice Principal Gu, Teacher Shangguan—later, the Yan family head will contact you to discuss this further.”

Ning Hanwen, having already anticipated this, calmly stroked his white beard. “Understood. At Magic City University, we naturally welcome such promising young talents.”

“Teacher Shangguan, please escort them out.”

Su Yu’s eyes widened slightly.

Well, well!

Yan Ling’er’s father had essentially just handed her over to Magic City University?

It made sense, though. With the bloodline of the Moonlight Herald now flowing in her veins, the Yan family was probably overjoyed.

Looking at Yan Ling’er again, while she couldn’t compare to the breathtaking beauty of Alia or Kong Huanyuan, her twin ponytails and wide, sparkling eyes gave her the charm of a delicate and legal “loli.”

Su Yu smirked to himself. Getting greedy, are we?

Yan Ling’er followed Su Yu’s group out of the hall, looking dejected.

—

Once outside, the expressions of the elders in the hall turned grim and solemn. Their eyes carried a murderous glint.

Liu Shengyuan pointed at a map of the demonic lairs. “Now, let’s get to the real matter at hand.”

“According to reliable intelligence, a Demon King from Sequence no. 006, Abyssal Demons, is the mastermind behind an invasion of Blue Planet. The main forces consist of Sequence no. 33, the Five Spirit Clan, and seven other upper-tier sequence races. In ten days, all nine demonic lairs and twelve cities within Great Xia will face simultaneous attacks.”

—

On the way back, Shangguan Ling clutched her chest in relief. “Su Yu, you nearly gave me a heart attack.”

“Thankfully, everything turned out fine.”

There was even a hint of glee in her voice.

It seemed her student might turn out to be an extraordinary Beastmaster.

Su Yu apologized. “I’m sorry, Teacher. I should have discussed this with you in advance. It’s just… the individual and team tournaments…”

Shangguan Ling’s mood was exceptionally good. “Don’t worry about it. This time, we secured five of the eight elimination spots in the individual competition! And you even took out most of the strongest competitors. Whether you participate or not makes no difference.”

“This year’s freshman bracket is already in the bag for us Magic City!”

Su Yu suddenly remembered something. “That’s good to hear. By the way, Teacher, didn’t I break some records during the preliminaries? Could you check if there are any rewards for that? If there are, please help me exchange them all for Life Essence!”

“Let’s do it while they don’t yet know I’ve been disqualified.”

Shangguan Ling nodded repeatedly. “Alright, Teacher will go check.”

“You take the girls back to the dorms first~”

Then, leaning in, she whispered, “And young man, try to show some restraint~”

Su Yu couldn’t help but laugh. Teacher, seriously? Where’s your professionalism? What about your husband?

—

The group split up, with Su Yu leading them back to the Magic City dorms.

Once they were alone, it was time to have a proper talk.

Yan Ling’er pleaded desperately in front of Alia. “Please, I beg you… I don’t want to leave Brother Long! If he finds out I’m here, he’ll lose his mind!”

She knew Shi Shaolong’s prideful nature. If he learned she had become someone else’s servant, he would never be able to handle it.

Alia teased, “Oh, little girl, do you want to die? From now on, you’ll serve this queen during the day and the master at night. Isn’t that far better than tagging along with that little nobody?”

Yan Ling’er clenched her fists. “No way! Su Yu, neither I nor Brother Long have any grudges against you. Why are you doing this to me?”

Hearing this, Su Yu suddenly raised his voice. “Stop right there!”

“Do you take me for a fool?”

“That God-Tier Relic Shi Shaolong prepared—if Alia and Kong Huanyuan weren’t God-Tier Sequences, I’d already be dead under the Thousand Lakes Bowl, wouldn’t I?”

“I was about to ask you—did Li Mu instruct Shi Shaolong to kill me during the trial?”

As if struck by a nerve, Yan Ling’er’s face turned as white as a sheet.
