Chapter 1431 Ling Mei’er’s Bad Situation (1/2)

”We are considered adults the moment we generate a self geno core. And once that happens, we are sent away from Dark Spirit Shelter in the expectation we will survive and thrive.” There was a glimmer of sadness veiled behind the curtains of her speech, despite her attempt to put on a brave and proud face.

Han Sen thought to himself, ”It looks like Dark Spirit controls most of the Underworld. If they didn't have a firm grip on the entire place, they wouldn't let their people come and go freely.”

”Hmm... so, how can I lure her to the surface? They surely won't come after us up there, so getting her to go and leave this place is the only struggle.” Han Sen wracked his brain for a solution.

And as Han Sen pondered this, his attention was drawn to a voice outside the cave.

”Ling Mei'er, are you in there?”

Ling Mei'er's face completely changed. She hopped onto King Snake's back and yelled at Han Sen, ”Come on! We have to go.”

”What are you afraid of?” Han Sen asked.

”I'm not afraid...” Before she finished speaking, a dark shadow began entering the cave.

It was a man with cat ears and a tail just like Ling Mei'er. It was clear that he was a family member of hers. He was riding atop a green bug that was the size of a bull.

”Where are you running off to this time? Come, quickly fight with me! And when you lose, come. You know what awaits. Don't try running off.” The man's voice took on a threatening tone, and he didn't seem like a nice person at all.

”I'm not running.” Ling Mei'er said this and scowled at Han Sen with her kitty fangs on full display. She wasn't happy Han Sen had been so slow.

”Bring forth one of your creatures so that it might fight against my green bug. If you lose, you come back with me, as was the deal.” The man hopped off his mount and took a few intimidating steps forward.

The bug followed after its master, looking all smug, as well.

”Your bug is a gold geno core, whereas mine is not even silver! That's not even fair,” Ling Mei'er protested.

”One year. That was the deal. You're the one who has wasted their time hiding in this dump for that duration. If you'd prefer, I could always go contact the elder and see what he has to say about this whole situation,” the man said.

”Spirit Thirteen, don't be ridiculous!” Ling Mei'er said. She tried to put on a stout voice, but it trembled. She was squirming in her seat.

”Then how about I go and see the elder to ask what he considers to be ridiculous?” Spirit Thirteen turned to leave.

”Fine! We'll fight.” Ling Mei'er stopped him from leaving, but she was falling right into his ploy. The saddest part was that she probably knew.

Spirit Thirteen, with the smuggest and most punchable face in the universe, turned back around and told Ling Mei'er, ”Choose your best combatant. Any: the choice is yours.”

Ling Mei'er looked at the only two mutant creatures she possessed and sighed. One of them was only a baby, after all. Times had indeed been tough for her.
