Chapter 237 - Little Tanuki, Transformed (1/2)

Ye Chen had heard what Little Wingsy said. Little Squido was controlled by Ye Chen’s Astral Body. As long as it remained within ten miles of Ye Chen, they would not lose it. There was no need to slow the ship down, so Ye Chen said with a smile, “Let Little Squido play in the sea then.”

Little Wingsy carried Little Squido and walked to the ship’s railing.

“Little Squido, I’m putting you down now,” Little Wingsy said and released Little Squido. Little Squido dropped into the water with a splash.

Ye Chen’s Astral Body detected that Little Squido was unusually active after entering the sea. It swam around swiftly, swoosh swoosh swoosh, like a bolt of lightning.

It was much faster than this tower ship.

Little Squido was catching fish to eat. Ye Chen and Little Tanuki exchanged a glance and laughed. Although Little Squido might have lived for a long time, in terms of its personality, it was nothing more than a cheery kid.

The waves were turbulent and the ship rocked ceaselessly upon the ocean. Even at this time, Ye Chen did not forget about his cultivation. There was an urgent drive in him at all times to improve his strength.

In the open sea, Water-type Celestial Chi was more intense than usual. If Ye Chen employed the Water God Discourse, he could gather all Water-type Celestial Chi within a mile. However, doing so would cause too much of a disturbance.

On the ship, there was no way to practice his martial art techniques either. Ye Chen could only sit cross-legged and cultivate, mobilizing the Flying Dagger to release a torrent of Celestial Chi. Ye Chen was intentionally discharging so much Celestial Chi so that Little Tanuki who was sitting beside Ye Chen, cultivating, could absorb more Celestial Chi.

The cabin door was shut tight. Ye Chen’s Astral Body hovered through the air, distinctly sensing that Great Emperor Mingwu, Nie Qingyun, and the other Earthly Venerable experts were in their room, cultivating silently in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Although some people were not that concerned over the fate of the nation, the battle in the Exclusion Zone was also a matter of life and death. No one knew what kind of experts the Nanman Kingdom would send over, so they still felt a significant amount of pressure. The ones who were most assuredly positive about the outcome of the battle were Nie Qingyun and the old man transformed from the Eclipsing Firebird. They had witnessed the true forms of Ye Chen and Little Wingsy. With two Daemon Kings, could the Nanman Kingdom possibly do anything against them? Nonetheless, they were still cultivating diligently. If they were working for a Daemon King, they must have some capabilities. If their strength was too weak, the Daemon King would not be pleased…

The sky gradually darkened. The swaying of the tower ship diminished and specks of starlight were reflected on the sea.

In their vast surroundings, the tower ship traversing the ocean appeared to be extremely minuscule.

Ye Chen was cultivating with Little Tanuki crouching by his side. At this point, Little Tanuki suddenly glowed with a blinding white light. This milky-white glow instantly filled the room.

What was going on?

Ye Chen was alarmed as he stared at Little Tanuki unwaveringly, afraid that something had gone wrong with Little Tanuki’s cultivation. When he sensed the warm, gentle energy of the white light, Ye Chen’s heart shifted. Could Little Tanuki’s cultivation have reached a crucial moment?

In the beam of white light, Ye Chen could vaguely see that Little Tanuki had spat out the Illusory Pearl, which rose into the air. Panels of light cascaded downward like a waterfall.

Little Tanuki had devoured these beams of light, absorbing them into her body.

Ye Chen gradually sensed that the Astral Body within Little Tanuki was growing without stopping.

Little Tanuki’s strength was initially just a hair’s breadth away from Heavenly Adept Rank. At the rate by which her Astral Body was now expanding, she would enter the Heavenly Adept Rank soon.

To think that Little Tanuki would advance to another level even before he had. Ye Chen felt that he must work even harder.

Just then, Ye Chen suddenly noticed that Little Tanuki’s body was undergoing a peculiar transformation. She curled up on the bed as her body continuously grew in size. Slowly, she was transformed. Fair skin grew over her body and her face as pure and flawless as fine jade.

Ye Chen was extremely astounded by this sight. Was Little Tanuki about to transform?

Ye Chen paid close attention, staring at Little Tanuki’s face without blinking. Her face had finally taken on a human form. As Ye Chen gaped at Little Tanuki’s face, his heart seemed to stop for a second.

Little Tanuki was too beautiful.

Ye Chen had no way to describe this beauty. She was as beautiful as a dream. Even a heavenly fairy, upon seeing Little Tanuki, would feel ashamed and inferior.

With Little Tanuki’s eyes closed, her long, wavy lashes fluttered slightly. Her jet-black, lustrous hair flowed over her cheeks. Her straight, delicate nose and bright, shiny, red lips seemed to exude a refined grace in their charming allure. Her cheeks were smooth and soft. Moreover, her round face and slender eyebrows held a classical sort of appeal as if she had emerged from a painting.

As Ye Chen’s eyes moved downward, her smooth neck was as gorgeous as a swan’s. Her slim, round shoulders were sheathed in exquisite, snow-white skin. The perky, ample breasts, like those of a maiden, revealed the unique enticement of feminine contours. Her snow-lotus arms, slender delicate waist, and round supple buttocks, would cause one’s imagination to go wild.

Little Tanuki’s body still had the characteristics of a tanuki. Seven long, furry tails sprouted from her buttocks and a pair of pointy tanuki ears peeked out from the silky black hair on her head. Even so, these features did not ruin her beauty in the slightest. Conversely, they enhanced her cuteness, giving her the nobility and elegance of a princess.

Little Tanuki was like an angel or a fairy, who had descended to the human world. Anyone who saw her would helplessly fall head over heels for her. She was that beautiful without a single flaw and beautiful to a breathtaking extent.
