Chapter 397: Growing Up
“What the hell?” That was all that Fang Yu could think about as she saw the spectacle in front of her.
She saw both Andromeda and Genie in front of her, giving Fang Yu a strained smile.
Both of there were fine, as Fang Yu could not detect any abnormalities in these two.
But the same cannot be said on Tang Li.
“Sis, look at me! Tang Li grew up!” Tang Li said as her long, silky hair swished behind her while she bobbed her head side by side happily.
She twirled her body as she approached the befuddled Fang Yu.
“Sis, look! Tang Li’s head reaches Sis’ waist!” Tang Li exclaimed as the top of her head collided with Fang Yu’s waist.
“How…… how did you just suddenly grow up?”
Fang Yu exclaimed, seeing that the Tang Li in front of her was no longer a baby, but an 8 year-old child!
What Fang Yu basically saw was that Tang Li’s body changed from a baby to a small girl!
Gone were the small body, chubby cheeks, and the baby talk of Tang Li.
What Tang Li looked like now was a girl with a thin body, glowing skin and long black hair reaching the floor. Her eyes were glowing playfully while her hands were slowly inching towards Fang Yu.
Tang Li still had the mischievous smile on her face, reminding Fang Yu that just like before, the grown-up Tang Li will always be up to no good.
Just like before, Tang Li’s was still adorable, so much so that Fang Yu wanted to just cuddle the bigger Tang Li right now.
“Muuu…… Sis, Tang Li does not like that look.” Tang Li muttered as she saw the glint in Fang Yu’s eyes.
“Pit pat, pit pat.” The sounds of Tang Li’s footsteps echoed as she retreated, eyeing Fang Yu with a slightly wary look.
“What’s the matter Tang Li?” Fang Yu asked as she feigned being hurt. “You always have slept in my bosom or above my head before. Why don’t you want your Sis to hug you now?”
“Don’t wanna.” Tang Li pouted as she glared at Fang Yu.
The transformation of Tang Li’s body gave Tang Li more varieties to express her emotions like the glare that she just gave to Fang Yu.
“Ugh!” The emotions that Tang Li showed was so exquisite that Fang Yu was hurt by the glare that Tang Li gave her.
“Sis, you are still not giving me the milk that you promised!” Tang Li pouted as her eyes were slowly concentrated of Fang Yu’s plump bosom.
“Now that Tang Li is bigger, she needs more milk from Sis!”
“Wait wait wait, hold up!” Fang Yu raised her hands, stopping Tang Li from ‘ravaging’ Fang Yu.
“Before you think about drinking my milk, can you explain first what happened to you that made you like this?”
“Muuu……” Tang Li pouted as she unwillingly removed her gaze away from Fang Yu’s milk machines. Fang Yu heaved a slight sigh of relief after seeing this.
But that relief disappeared when Tang Li said,
“Sis, I will tell what happened if you will give me milk after I talked!”
“Gah!” Fang Yu did not expect that even now, Tang Li still seemed to still be a cunning person.
Fang Yu looked at Genie and Andromeda asking for help, but what she only got from the 2 was,
“Well, we have to know what happened to The Great Tang Li. Who knows, maybe what happened to her was actually dangerous to her. As much as possible, we need to know it quickly.” Genie said as she covered her mouth, presumably trying not to show her smile.
Andromeda on the other hand, just gave Fang Yu a withering look as she said,
“Well, you just have to feed Tang Li milk later. You already fed Tang Li many times before, so feeding her now won’t be that difficult.”
“But but but……” Fang Yu spluttered as she pointed at Tang Li. “She’s much bigger now! How the hell can I feed her if she is like that now?”
“Well Tang Li does not sound that different to me.” Andromeda said as she patted Tang Li’s head. “Only her body changed, not her personality. So, I think you should not have any problems feeding her.”
“Hehehe……” Tang Li giggled, apparently liking the head patting that she receives.
She gave a hopeful look to Fang Yu, who let out a defeated sigh.
“Ok fine, I will pat your head and feed you milk later.” Fang Yu said as she proceeded to pat Tang Li’s head.
“Yay!” Tang Li tittered as she stayed still, enjoying the sensation of Fang Yu patting her head. “Sis is the best!”
“.…… Just get talking already.” Fang Yu said weakly. “We do not have much time left before meeting Solomon.”
“Kay……” Tang Li said as Fang Yu stopped patting her head.
Tang Li gave one more look at Fang Yu’s milk machines before she started talking.
“Sis, do you remember that Tang Li absorbed the energy of this planet to heal you? It seems like not all of those energy were absorbed by you. Some of them went inside Tang Li’s body, and that what transformed Tang Li!”
“Yeah, I think that is the most definite reason.” Fang Yu muttered, remembering what happened earlier.
Fang Yu was severely injured after her fight with Beleth, and she had to recover from her injuries quickly.
Tang Li came to her rescue at that time, with that baby using her Planet Devouring abilities to absorb the energy of the Goddess’ Planet and passing this energy directly to Fang Yu.
Tang Li was lucky at that time, as Solomon seems to be occupied with his injuries, which allowed Tang Li to freely absorb the energy earlier.
Tang Li did not dare to absorb any planet energy for now, as it seemed like Solomon was sane again.
But from what Tang Li just admitted to Fang Yu, it looks like some of the energy absorbed by Tang Li stayed inside her body!
From what Fang Yu remembered, Planet Devourers like Tang Li has to devour planets and their essence to nourish themselves.
Fang Yu was not sure on how much planets Tang Li should devour, she just knew that they needed to devour some.
So it will be entirely plausible that Tang Li’s body changed after Tang Li devoured some of this planet’s energy.
But now that begs more questions.
If Tang Li continues devouring more and more, will she continue changing? How much will she need to change? Will there even be and end to it?
“Muuu……” Tang Li pouted as she saw her Sis frowning like this.
“Hey, I am just wondering if you will still change if you devour more” Fang Yu hastily replied to appease the fuming Tang Li. “You know…… I already want to be prepared when the time comes that you will be older than me.”
A mental image of a teenage Fang Yu and a middle-aged Tang Li flashed across everyone’s mind, and it made them slightly wince.
“Muuu……” Tang Li gave Fang Yu a withering look, showing that she was not happy with what her Sis just said.
“Sis, the next time that Tang Li will grow will be after Tang Li devours the whole Goddess Planet! If Tang Li does not devour this whole planet, then Tang Li will not grow!”
“Is that so……” Fang Yu, Genie, and Andromeda all heaved sighs of relief after hearing this.
At least right now Fang Yu does not have to worry about a baby looking more mature and older than her.
“Hey Tang Li,” Fang Yu asked as she continued patting Tang Li’s head. “Did anything else aside from you body changed after you devoured those energies?”
Tang Li gave Fang Yu a fervent nod before replying,
“Sis, Tang Li became more intelligent, and Tang Li also became a Peak Qi Condensation Cultivator!”
“!!!!!!”
Fang Yu could already accept that Tang Li’s intelligence have increased, though it seems like it is still not apparent now.
What Fang Yu could not believe was the fact that Tang Li just went from a normal baby to a Peak Qi Condensation Practitioner!
If what Tang Li said was true, then she literally skipped over Body Refinement Stage and went straight to the peak of the First Stage!
Fang Yu quickly touched Tang Li’s pulse as she used her divine sense to inspect Tang Li’s body.
Upon some inspections, she saw that Tang Li really had a dantian inside her body, and it was filled to the brim with Tang Li’s qi!
“Oh god, it really happened.” Fang Yu muttered as she gave a helpless look to Genie.
Genie let out a cough after seeing Fang Yu’s slight shock.
“Fang Yu, you should know that planet devourers needed to consume more and more planets to sustain their lives and to strengthen themselves. If they want to get stronger, they have to devour more and more planet. What you just saw now was normal.”
Since she was already tired of contradicting other people, Fang Yu just decided to accept what was told to her.
“Muuu…… Sis, did Tang Li make Sis angry?” Tang Li asked with tears pooling on her eyes. “I do not want Sis to be sad!”
“No! I was just surprised and happy for you Tang Li.” Fang Yu smoothly said as she assured the sad Tang Li.
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Yay!” Tang LI let out a happy laugh as she slowly approached Fang Yu.
“Sis, you remembered that you promised Tang Li one thing earlier right?”
“Oh wait, what is that again?” Fang Yu said as she felt that Tang Li was becoming more and more predatory right now.
“You said you will give Tang Li milk!”
“Oh f-” Fang Yu’s words were cut off as the excited Tang Li leapt towards Fang Yu, managing to make her sit of the sofa.
“Milk milk milk!” Tang Li chanted these words like a prayer as her ‘evil paws’ reached out towards Fang Yu’s bosom.
“Sigh.” Fang Yu let out a defeated sigh, knowing that she had no way out now.
“Drink lots, you need to be full before we face Solomon later.”
“Kay!”
While Fang Yu’s ship was being dragged inside the Goddess Planet, there was a certain object at the surface of the Goddess’ Planet that attracted the attention of people near it.
This object was letting out a golden glow that was actually intensifying every second. The people who saw this became entranced, as the golden glow looked so beautiful and ethereal in their eyes. They slowly approached it, wanting to see what was causing the object to become like this.
But in no time at all, the people nearby had to go away from the glowing object as the golden glow became more and more intense.
But even if they were scared by the glow, they were not scared of the object at all, as this object was one of the relics of their Goddess that she left when she disappeared.
This object was a set of 3 rings looped with each other, with each ring having a different color.
If Wang Hao was here, he will know that this object was, as this object was in his possession!
Chapter 398: An Angry Mob “Maybe is just me, but seeing an 8 year-old child with the mind of a 3 year-old baby feels really weird to me.”
Andromeda muttered to Genie while the two of them watched Fang Yu feeding Tang Li.
“You do not need to tell that to me.” Genie replied quickly. “I mean, just look at them!” Genie said as she pointed at Fang Yu nonchalantly ‘feeding’ Tang Li. “Doesn’t that look a little…… off, you know?”
“This is one of those times that I will fully agree with you. But you already have seen Fang Yu feeding Tang Li before.” Andromeda replied with a subdued tone. “Just treat what you are seeing now as the Downloadable Content.”.
“Don’t speak technology c*ap in front of me.” Genie angrily said. “Don’t flaunt something like that in front of me!
“.……”
“.……”
“Ugh, let’s just ignore those 2 for now.” Andromeda muttered as she shook her head. “You, you help me find some things here in this ship.”
“Will you use these ‘things’ against Solomon later?” Genie asked back. “Forgive me for saying this, but I think that it will be hard for you to do anything against him.”
“Yay, you immediately doubted my abilities. That makes me really happy……” Andromeda replied dryly. “Instead of just doubting me, can’t you just…… you know, follow what I said? You never know, you might find something that might surprise you.”
“Well, be my guest then.” Genie said as she gave Andromeda a challenging look. “Let me be the judge of these ‘things’ that you will show.”
“Hahaha, now we’re talking!” Both Andromeda and Genie then left the room, leaving both Fang Yu and Tang Li who were busy in their own business.
Inside a dark room.
“They are coming……” The whole dark room roiled and trembled as an incredibly raspy and deep voice sounded out from it.
“I have waited for many years already…… This time…… I will not fail!” Anger could be felt from the voice, which showed the unyielding determination of the speaker.
“You think that because you just left those things in here, you can obstruct my plans? Hahaha! You are severely mistaken then!”
The tremblings in the room stopped as if the speaker managed to calm himself down already. From the way the dark room reacted, the figure moving inside it must be extremely massive.
“As long as I bring Fang Yu and that baby here…… My problems will be solved already…… That is why, I will not allow more f**k-ups that will prevent them from coming in here!”
All of a sudden, a black figure, whose size was comparable to that of a human, shot out from the dark room
The appearance of the black figure could not be discerned as the entirety of its body was black. Even its teeth, which could be seen as the figure grinned, was also entirely black.
This black figure stood still outside the dark room, as it seemed to be waiting for something.
The massive figure, which was the one speaking in the dark room earlier, started to talk again.
This time, the massive figure talked to the black figure outside the dark room as it gave the black figure a command.
“You. Go to the surface and do whatever you can to stop that accursed object from doing anything!”
“It shall be done, Lord Solomon.” The black figure said as it faced the dark room and gave a bow to it. “I shall do it quickly, just like what you wanted.”
“Yeah, yeah, just do it now.” Solomon’s voice sounded bored as he replied from the dark room. “But if you can find a way to tame that objects, then do try taming it.”
“Noted.” The black figure then disappeared, leaving the dark room feeling lonely and isolated once more.
“Hmph, I just created that guy, and he dares to act casual with me? Argh! If it were not for my injuries, I would have not used that guy to retrieve that object! Tsk, recyclables really are irritating!” Solomon ranted all these just after the black figure disappeared.
“But at least he’s still following me now. If not…… then I just have to create another recycled Djinn……”
If Fang Yu and Genie heard the talk between Solomon and the black figure, they will immediately realize who the black figure was!
The appearance of the black figure might be missing, but its voice was still recognizable.
The voice that went out of the black figure’s throat was the voice of Agares, one of the Djinns who allied with Fang Yu and Genie earlier, who was mercilessly killed by Solomon too!
“Fang Yu, Tang Li, and Shamaila, how should I greet you later? Should I give you three a greeting, or should I give you three a solemn farewell?”
Booming sounds were then heard from the dark room, as if Solomon was trying his best to not laugh.
“Hahaha, I will just decide on that later!”
Planet Thrae, inside Wang Hao’s House in the Golden Bull Village.
“That thing is?” Wu Meng asked as she felt a sudden closeness to the looped rings that Wang Hao held.
“Oh, you can say that this thing is an object that I obtained while I was in the Dreamworld.” Wang Hao nonchalantly replied. “I was actually surprised that this object chose me, but well, I am always lucky……”
“What does it do?” Wu Meng ignored Wang Hao’s boastings as she just went straight to the point. “What does it do?”
“Well…… it gives me a way to travel between the Material Universe, the Underworld, and the Dreamworld.” Wang Hao replied while looking sincere. “This object was also the one that helped me return from the Underworld to this place.”
“What the hell are you doing in the Underworld? Isn’t that the place for the dead?” Thea interjected out of nowhere. She seems to have been listening in the conversation too. “Did you just like, suddenly die before?”
“Ehem, ehem.” Wang Hao let out some light coughs as he gave Thea a withering look.
“Thea…… just don’t ask ok?”
Seeing the look that Wang Hao gave her, Thea chose to follow what he said as she stopped asking more questions after that.
“I don’t care how appeared in the Underworld or how you got that object. What I want to know……” Wu Meng’s voice trailed as she casted the object a greedy look. “Is if that object can help me return to the Dreamworld!”
“Of course it could.” Wang Hao replied smugly. “Why would I show this object to you if that was not the case?”
“You…… what are you scheming right now?” Wu Meng said as she glared at Wang Hao. “What you just did right now was illogical! Are you really that confident with yourself?”
When Wu Meng first saw Wang Hao, she already felt that Wang Hao will be the one that can help her return to the Dreamworld.
That was the reason she easily changed sides, leaving the safety of the Beast God Planet.
Wu Meng thought that once she sided with Wang Hao, Wang Hao would not necessarily show how he can help Wu Meng go back to the Dreamworld.
With his personality, Wang Hao will most likely only help Wu Meng go back once he was able to extort more help from her.
But to Wu Meng’s surprise, Wang Hao just nonchalantly showed to Wu Meng the very object that can bring her back!
This is a very unnatural action!
“Oh, why don’t you try it now?” Wang Hao taunted as he wagged his fingers at Wu Meng. “I am right here, and you can make your move.”
“Kgh!” Wu Meng gritted her teeth as she tore her gaze away from the looped rings. “I do not know what you are playing, but I am an honorable person. I will help you for now, and you will help me go back to the Dreamworld in turn.”
“Ok.” Wang Hao’s nonchalance elicited a twitch from Wu Meng’s eyebrows, but she held her anger in as she stood up from the bed.
“So now……” Wu Meng’s voice drawled as she looked at both Wang Hao and Wu Meng. “What should we do?”
“Well……” Wang Hao cupped his chin, as if he was deep in thought. “We will just wait it out here. After all, we are directly related to what happened to the Central Divine Emperor.”
“Wait, what the hell did you two did against the Central Divine Emperor?” Thea was unable to hold her silence after hearing this piece of information. “Did you kill him?”
“Of course not. He’s just a little…… decommissioned for now.” Wang Hao replied. “But because of that, I am sure most of the officials in the Central Divine Empire will be looking out for me and Wu Meng. Actually, I think they will not just look for us. They will murder us.”
“Oh…… can’t you just you know, fight back against them?” Thea said as she patted Wang Hao’s shoulders. “You are strong, and they can’t do anything against you.”
“If that was just the case, then I would have done it already.” Wang Hao replied wearily. “But even if I am strong enough to finish those officials off, I would still not be able to actually beat them up.”
Hearing Wang Hao’s reply made both Thea and Wu Meng realize that something weird is definitely happening with Wang Hao.
“Is there…… something preventing you from beating up those officials?” Thea asked as she stared at Wang Hao deeply. “Answer me truthfully okay?”
“I……” But before Wang Hao could answer, he was interrupted by a sudden surge of power that appeared just right beside the village.
Wang Hao, Thea, and Wu Meng all stood up at the same time, feeling this surge of power.
“Wow, we just jinxed ourselves!” Thea said as she put her palms on her forehead. “We were just talking about some practitioners who would want to take revenge against us, and now they just appeared outside!”
“Well, actually its not only the officials affiliated to the Central Divine Empire that is outside.” Wang Hao said as he gave both Wu Meng and Thea a strained smile.
“What do you mean by that?” Thea asked with an extreme sense of foreboding rising inside her. “Don’t tell me……” Thea then used her divine sense to look outside, and there she saw it.
Male, female, and the old.
An assortment of people with powerful auras just appeared outside the village, and just like what Wang Hao said, it was not only the officials of the Central Divine Empire that was here.
“They are all here……”
With Thea’s divine sense, she could see that almost all of the Immortals in the Immortal Continent were just outside the village!
All of them wore angry expressions on their faces as one of them shouted,
“Wang Hao, you gave to get your ass out here! You have some explaining to do!”
