Chapter 64: Raising an Ice Jade Scorpion for Fun (Please Subscribe)
Lin Yun did not yet know that he had already been targeted by a little rich girl. At this moment, he was casually chatting with the Ice Emperor.
The Ice Emperor, upon him, was like an expensive toy secretly bought home by a child, one that could not be shown to adults.
Having a four-hundred-thousand-year-old ferocious beast as a pet sprite but being unable to flaunt it always left Lin Yun with a feeling like a thorn stuck in his throat.
It was suffocating.
"Bing'er, can you give me a thousand-year-level Ice Jade Scorpion to raise?" Lin Yun smacked his lips, speaking idly.
"Mm? Why, my lord? Did Bing'er do something to displease you?" the Ice Emperor asked cautiously after a moment of silence.
"That's not it. It's just that treating you like a pet feels unworthy of your status as the sovereign of the Extreme North. But if it were a thousand-year one, then of course there would be no issue," Lin Yun said with a smile.
The Ice Jade Scorpion race was truly beautiful, its entire body looking as if it were made of emerald and crystal, shining brilliantly. They were rare and powerful as well.
Since the Ice Emperor could not appear in front of others, raising an Ice Jade Scorpion instead would let Lin Yun easily crush that so-called Beast King Gong Changlong in the Soul Beast Arena.
'What kind of twisted hobby is this, my lord?' the Ice Emperor thought helplessly.
What soul beast would like to keep another soul beast?
Wait, no — that dumb bear Xiao Bai was indeed raised by Xue'er since childhood. Could it be that my lord wants to be like Xue'er, raising a soul beast for fun?
'As expected, I am the soul beast my lord loves most. Even when raising one, it must be of my race! That so-called Emperor Auspicious Beast dares compete with me for favor? Hmph, far too naive!'
The Ice Emperor's heart was brimming with glee at the thought.
When Lin Yun saw the Ice Emperor still not replying, he thought it was reluctance. After all, the Ice Jade Scorpions were few in number. Asking her to bring one over just for him to raise was indeed difficult for their clan leader. So Lin Yun had not intended to press the matter.
"If it's troublesome, forget it. I'll ask Bi Ji another time if she can get me an Emerald Swan instead," Lin Yun said softly, patting the Ice Emperor on his chest to comfort her.
The Ice Emperor grew anxious at once.
What? My lord does not want one of my race?
Unacceptable!
Only my clan is the most fitting to be my lord's pet. An Emerald Swan? Not a chance!
"No, no, my lord, you misunderstand. I was just thinking which clan member would be most suitable. It's not that I am unwilling!" the Ice Emperor hurriedly explained.
"Then it's settled. Later, my lord, you should first go stay at the Myriad Demon King's place. With his protection, I can safely return to the Extreme North to bring one of my kin for you."
Lin Yun blinked in mild confusion.
Was the identity of Soul Beast Sovereign truly this useful?
Asking the Ice Emperor to deliver one of her kin for him to raise, and she did not even show the slightest unwillingness?
"If you are willing, then that is enough. I'll make time to go," Lin Yun replied with a smile.
Only then did the Ice Emperor breathe out in relief, her restless pincers retracting back to her body.
After a short while, as the class bell rang, Mujin gracefully entered the classroom. Placing the teaching materials on the podium, she smiled warmly at the students.
"Good morning, everyone."
"Good morning, Teacher Mu!"
It had to be said, Mujin's gentle nature truly made her easy to approach. While most other classes in the outer court were still shrouded under the law of the jungle because of Zhou Yi's incident, Class Eight under Mujin had already returned to a pastoral state.
This was progress of the times!
Lin Yun did not sense even a trace of guardedness from any student toward Mujin.
Mujin clapped her hands lightly, and the students tacitly quieted down.
"Before class begins today, the teacher has something to say," Mujin smiled. "Because of the disbandment of Class One, many of their students have now joined our Class Eight. The teacher hopes you will all get along well in the future. So, instead of lessons today, let us each introduce ourselves once more and get to know the new classmates. How does that sound?"
"Yes!" the class responded enthusiastically.
"Then let us begin with our Class Eight's monitor and vice monitor. Ning Tian!" Mujin beckoned toward Ning Tian. Ning Tian nodded, walked up to the podium, and revealed a flawless smile.
"Hello everyone, I am the current class monitor of Class Eight. My name is Ning Tian, cultivation level thirty-first rank Soul Elder. Please take care of me." After speaking, she gave a slight bow to the class before returning to her seat.
Once Ning Tian sat down, Wu Feng beside her stood up.
"Hello everyone, I am vice monitor Wu Feng, cultivation level twenty-fourth rank Soul Grandmaster." After her introduction, Wu Feng subconsciously glanced at Lin Yun, only to meet his dignified golden eyes. Her heart involuntarily trembled violently, and she nearly made a fool of herself on the podium.
Wu Feng quickly looked away and returned to her seat.
Her reaction was noticed only by Mujin on the podium apart from Lin Yun. Mujin nodded thoughtfully, then continued.
"Next!"
"Hello everyone, my name is Nanmen Yuner, cultivation level twenty-third rank Agility System Soul Grandmaster. Please take care of me~"
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Yingwu, cultivation level seventeenth rank Soul Master."
"Hello everyone…"
"…"
Time passed quickly, and the self-introductions of over a hundred classmates gradually came to an end. Only when Zheng Xiaolong's voice rang out did Lin Yun realize it was almost his turn.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zheng Xiaolong, cultivation level eighteenth rank Soul Master. Please take care of me!" Zheng Xiaolong's robust voice echoed throughout the class.
After Zheng Xiaolong, the little loli Xiao Xiao slowly walked up to the podium, her crisp voice sounding out: "Hello everyone, I am Xiao Xiao, cultivation level twenty-first rank Soul Grandmaster."
"Next!" After Xiao Xiao stepped down, Mujin turned her smiling gaze toward Lin Yun.
Lin Yun shrugged, stood up from his seat, and walked onto the podium. "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Yun, cultivation level thirty-seventh rank Soul Elder."
Thirty-seventh rank!
The entire Class Eight fell silent.
Though there had already been rumors that Lin Yun's cultivation had reached the high Soul Elder stage, hearing him confirm it personally still filled them with inescapable shock.
Especially Ning Tian.
Only she knew how much effort she had poured in for the title of 'young sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.' Ever since awakening her martial soul, aside from required courses, she had devoted nearly all her time to cultivation. Combined with the vast resources of her sect, she had barely reached Soul Elder at her age.
"This is the strong arm I've been searching for!" Ning Tian gazed at Lin Yun with infatuation, murmuring softly.
Wu Feng: ?
Pain, unbearable pain!
Nodding at Mujin, Lin Yun walked down from the podium.
"Since everyone has now introduced themselves, the remaining time will be for free activity. But remember, do not disturb other classes and do not leave your classroom," Mujin said playfully, blinking before gracefully exiting.
