Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Two – Lil’ Pagoda’s Levelling Up (2/2)

However, the warmth was quickly smashed to pieces by the roll of eyes that Silly Bird had thrown over. Silly Bird took back its gaze, raised up her bird head, and continued to calmly strut its walk. Compared to the rebelliousness of Silly Bird, Lil’ Black was much warmer and obedient, climbing down from the ceiling, climbing up Zuo Mo’s pants until it reached Zuo Mo’s palm. The two antennae on its head waving and fawning.

“So good!” Zuo Mo purposefully took out a lingdan and put it in front of Lil’ Black. Lil’ Black started to happily chomp.

Silly Bird responded with a roll of the eyes filled with scorn and disdain, completely unmoved.

Zuo Mo was very irritated. At this time, a five colored light suddenly appeared on Lil’ Pagoda’s body.

Lil’ Pagoda was leveling up!

The displeasure in Zuo Mo’s heart instantly was thrown away, his eyes unblinking. Silly Bird also stopped walking and stared at Lil’ Pagoda, the concern in her eyes completely undisguised.

Lil’ Pagoda was Zuo Mo’s soul-tethered talisman. In the recent past, Zuo Mo had fed it large amounts of talismans and flying swords. Zuo Mo was not surprised it was leveling up. Zuo Mo knew pitifully little about soul-tethered talismans, and the grades of normal talismans were useless for Lil’ Pagoda.

In any case, he only needed to know that Lil’ Pagoda was becoming stronger, Zuo Mo comforted himself.

Lil’ Pagoda had five levels, and the light released by each level was different. The five colored lights merged and cycled. Inside the five colored lights, Lil’ Pagoda spun, the lights becoming even brighter. In a while, Lil’ Pagoda was covered in the blinding five colored light, and was unable to be seen.

The five balls of colored light dimmed and brightened like it was breathing. Reflecting off Zuo Mo’s face, it was possible to see the nervousness in his eyes.

This leveling up, what change would happen to Lil’ Pagoda?

After several cycles, the five colored ball steadied. Zuo Mo closed his eyes. He could barely make out that Lil’ Pagoda was changing.

The steady ball of light slowly dimmed until all the light was gone.

Lil’ Pagoda’s body had become even rounder, the tip of the power almost a ball now. The eaves were even wider and smooth, giving people the feeling of chubbiness. The little gourds under the eaves were bigger, and rounder.

Zuo Mo gaped.

These days, did pagodas also get fat?

Lil’ Pagoda shook its body, the chubby five levels of eaves opening and closing like five little hands that were also waving. It didn’t seem to have woken up, somewhat dizzy. However, it quickly found Silly Bird guarding it at the side.

The eaves of the five levels opened, and Lil’ Pagoda shook the five colored chubby gourds on its body as itskipped over to Silly Bird. Then it spat out a grey bead.

Silly Bird skillfully picked up the grey bead and swallowed it.

A tragic and pain filled voice suddenly shook the skies!

“You people! I say, this is why has it been so long since this stuff had come out, you guys secretly ate it!”

Zuo Mo furiously pointed and swore. He felt his heart was being carved with a knife! Heavens! The grey bead that Lil’ Pagoda had spat out a material that was not in the five elements!

With Silly Bird’s swallow, Zuo Mo felt the sky and earth turn, he seemed to see a flood made out of countless jingshi enter Silly Bird’s mouth like a whale swallowing water!

Pain! Pain of the flesh!

Lil’ Black, who had been chewing happily, froze, the antennae that had been waving freezing in the air. It slowly retreated, step by step, as slow as a turtle. When it found that Zuo Mo did not seem to notice it, it shot away from Zuo Mo’s body like a black light and disappeared.

Zuo Mo instantly understood, and gritted out, “Lil’ Black, so you were involved too!”

Lil’ Pagoda timidly hid behind Silly Bird, the chubby body shivering.

Only Silly Bird was not scared, glancing at Zuo Mo, her eyes filled with disdain and scorn. She picked up Lil’ Pagoda and proudly stalked her bird walk away. On the feathers above her butt was Lil’ Black that bounced with the strides.

Zuo Mo was so angry he almost spat blood.

Gongsun Cha took back his dissatisfied gaze. The new additions to the troops, training until they could barely fight, it was not easy. In War Chess, the setup for this was training took at least one year. Other than that, it would take more than two real battles.

That could only be considered just having formed, and was far from a mature troop. As to a troop of a hundred battle elite, that was hundreds of li away.

However, the troop in front of him, while far from the troop in Gongsun Cha’s heart, but it had started to take the shape of a troop.

Like in the areas of organization, like the still immature cooperation.

There wasn’t much technique in training but it wasn’t as though there were no tricks, such as real combat. Real battles were always able to quickly increase the strength of the group.

Gongsun Cha stared into the distance, his eyes dark, a cold and cruel smile floating at the corner of his mouth.

In this hundred battle hell of Little Mountain Jie, did he have to worry there was no chance for actual combat?

Translator Ramblings: A comedic chapter today. I don’t know what Zuo Mo expected from his menagerie. He is a terrible role model by certain standards so it is almost his fault Silly Bird and Lil’ Pagoda turned out this way. The apples does not fall far from the tree.Pu failed at what he was trying to do and Gongsun Cha starts building a troop.

I got a few comments back about the drop-down menu. Any more?
