Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 152 - 96: He Is Her Exclusive Golden Finger
"Who dares cause trouble here!"
A burly Insect Clan general, nearly five meters tall and grayish-blue all over, as formidable as a monster, strode forward. The floor boomed with his steps. One of his giant hands grabbed two screaming females, intending to throw them back into their cells.
The next second, a flash of fire slashed down—
The Insect Clan general’s massive head rolled to the ground.
It was instantly burned to ashes.
"Quick, some females have escaped!"
"Get them back here!!"
"That kid let the females out! Kill him!"
More and more of the Insect Clan swarmed in to surround them. It was impossible for Sang Luo to fight off enemies while also protecting these females. She took out a Space Transmission Array Plate she had prepared beforehand with her Talent Ability, placed it on the ground, and activated it with her power. It instantly transformed into a small Teleportation Array, just large enough to hold over a hundred females. She had already set up a receiving point in Ice-breaking City.
Before they teleported away, Sang Luo asked the female from before, "Time to fulfill your promise. Where is it?"
"Thank you for saving us, Benefactor! Last night, I saw a member of the Insect Clan bring a little white Wolf Pup to the Black Tower. It matched your description, but I don’t know if it’s the same one. They seemed to have other plans and didn’t lock the Wolf Pup in the Black Tower. They took it away again. I heard them say... it was presented to the Insect King!"
"I’ve seen dozens of females taken away before. Anyone presented to the Insect King has never returned!" another female whispered.
"..."
A blinding light flashed, and all the females vanished. At the same time, thousands upon thousands of the Insect Clan swarmed her. Sang Luo’s dark eyes were frigid, her body wreathed in a cold, murderous aura. ’If anything really happened to Little Zhi Xin, I’ll make them pay in blood. I’ll make the Insect King die with him! And I’ll start by using these insects as a blood sacrifice!’
Tens of thousands of the Insect Clan became souls reaped by Sang Luo’s hand.
Raging fire razed the entire Black Tower Prison to the ground.
...
Sang Luo arrived at a steep mountaintop.
From there, she could overlook the entire Royal Palace.
Her rampage at the Black Tower Prison had been fueled by a blind rage. After the slaughter, she gradually calmed down, and caution and doubt surfaced in her mind.
’A True King Rank’s power is indeed immense, and killing a few thousand—or even tens of thousands—of the Insect Clan is nothing to speak of. But hasn’t this all been a little too easy?’
’I refuse to believe the massive Insect Clan doesn’t have some hidden experts.’
’But my path has been completely unobstructed. I haven’t even run into a single Half-King Rank. It’s as if someone deliberately left the gates open, luring me into a trap.’
’I don’t know... maybe it’s my imagination... but it feels like a pair of eyes are staring at me from the shadows. Ever since I got here, my spiritual power has been shrouded in a thick fog, and I can’t see anything clearly.’
This feeling of being out of control sent a chill down her spine, making her tremble with fear.
There’s a Devouring Soul Formation ahead. One more step and your body and soul will be instantly shredded. A voice as clear and cold as shattered jade sounded beside her ear.
Startled, Sang Luo hastily pulled back the foot she had been about to step forward with. She looked all around. "An Illusion Technique?"
There was silence from the other end. ...You don’t recognize me?
’Of course I recognize you. You’re the cheapskate father beast who snatched my little fish cub. But how can I hear your voice? Am I hallucinating?’ Even if she was tense enough to hallucinate, she wouldn’t have imagined this stranger with whom she had barely interacted.
After you advanced to a True King, your spiritual power became much stronger. I can connect to it through the Soul Mark.
Why didn’t you say anything before?
I was in seclusion for a while. I just came out.
He fell silent for a moment before his voice, now low and husky, came through.
I didn’t know. Did you... need me?
Sang Luo was still angry at him for taking her child without a word. She wanted to tilt her head up proudly and coolly snap, "I don’t need you!" But a person has to bow to reality. You’re practically my divine reinforcement!
Heh, is that so? Am I that important? Lou Xianyue chuckled. His pleasant voice, usually as calm as the sea, now seemed to have a few ripples in it, tinged with a faint delight.
You’re just... so, so, so important!
Sang Luo looked at the silent darkness around her, already covered in a cold sweat. There was no movement at all. She had just caused a huge disturbance at the Black Tower Prison, yet the Insect Clan hadn’t sent any pursuers. The quieter things were, the more it meant a huge trap was waiting for her up ahead.
She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms. To be honest, I’m a little scared. I keep feeling a gaze spying on me from the dark. I suspect it’s very likely the Insect King...
The Insect King had never truly shown himself to the world, so his power was unfathomable. But if even the Prince, Anubia, was at the True King Level, the Insect King’s power was certainly higher, not lower. If they were to clash and something unexpected happened, she wasn’t sure she could escape.
With you here with me, I feel much more at ease. Not so scared anymore.
Mm, don’t be afraid. Go where you want to go. Nothing bad will happen. Lou Xianyue’s voice had become much gentler, like ice melting into a spring stream.
’Even if Lou Xianyue has no feelings for me,’ Sang Luo thought, ’Male Beasts place extreme importance on their offspring. They naturally extend that protection to the offspring’s birth mother. He definitely wouldn’t watch me walk to my death for nothing.’
How do I break this Array?
Sang Luo paced back and forth, not daring to take another step forward, afraid of being instantly ground into meat paste.
This is a High Rank killing array. Using the Breaking Array Technique might be a bit difficult. I’ll teach you.
Lou Xianyue patiently taught her the incantations and methods to break the Array.
「Half an hour later.」
Sang Luo plopped onto the ground in defeat.
It’s too hard. I can’t learn it.
Her talent was limited. She could manage to learn a basic Teleportation Array, but she couldn’t make heads or tails of a high-level Array like this.
I need your body.
Huh? Now? Th-that’s not appropriate, is it? You’re not even here in person...
Transfer the control of your body to me. I’ll get you out.
"..." ’Fine, my mind is just too dirty.’
You can do that, too?
Sang Luo did as he said and emptied her spiritual power. Her body suddenly felt heavy, as if two souls were now crammed into a single vessel.
But soon, the heaviness was replaced by a sense of lightness. Sang Luo lost control of her body, but her five senses remained intact. She watched everything unfold with curiosity, finding the experience rather novel.
"BOOM!"
The High Rank killing array was instantly broken.
A graceful and otherworldly figure walked calmly out of the billowing dust.
Sang Luo chuckled. You know what this makes you look like?
Hm? Lou Xianyue was busy controlling her body, carefully surveying the surroundings for any other hidden dangers.
My system’s golden finger and the old grandpa in a Jade Token.
What do you mean? You think I’m... old? His steps faltered. He seemed a little uneasy. He had indeed lived for several hundred years, but he had spent most of that time asleep. That didn’t count as being very old, did it?
No, no, that’s not what I mean at all! With a face like yours, no matter how many years you live, you’ll still drive countless female and Male Beasts wild.
Lust is a blade hanging over the head. He seemed to let out a soft, humming laugh, apparently in a very good mood.
What does ’golden finger’ mean?
A golden finger is... something that helps a little noob like me go on a killing spree and be invincible.
Mm. Then I am your exclusive golden finger. As Lou Xianyue walked to a tree, he destroyed another array core.
