63: Chapter 63 The Poor Man's Resentment

"So, you asked me to take you out because my old man just received a message from Your Majesty, saying that you should challenge the young talents of various Yao Races in the Imperial City while hiding your identity as the Saintess, and only if you win will there be a mysterious grand prize?"

On the streets of the Imperial City, Ying Linglong was skipping forward.

Behind her, the White Wolf Girl, dressed in a white robe adorned with gold thread and wearing a helpless smile, followed unhurriedly, her mind still reminiscing about the feel of the cat tail from before.

In the "Tail Defense Battle" just now, she had actually sensed Ying Linglong's faint malice and immediately discovered her little trick, then used "Mist Form" to dodge the fatal blow and take the initiative.

After this battle, Ying Linglong was much more well-behaved now, but correspondingly, she was a bit reactive to some of her unconscious movements.

So Xing Yaoyan didn't dare to get too close to her for the time being, only hoping she could recover soon.

After all, she still preferred her previous wild and untamable look... Hehe...

"Meow... Yan... Sister Yan, don't suddenly stare at me and smile like that..."

Finding that the White Wolf Girl behind her hadn't responded for a long time, Ying Linglong turned around and saw her mischievous smile.

Seemingly remembering her previous embarrassed state, Ying Linglong's face instantly flushed red, and her voice trembled slightly with nervousness.

Xing Yaoyan also snapped out of it at Ying Linglong's words.

She had now discovered that whenever Ying Linglong was emotional, she would unconsciously add a cute "meow" to her speech.

"Oh~ But little sister Linglong... why are you so far away from me now? Didn't you want to be all clingy with me before?"

Looking at the cat-eared loli like this, Xing Yaoyan couldn't help but want to tease her again.

"Meow~ Sister Yan... I can come over, but can you not suddenly grab my tail..."

"Hahaha... Don't worry, little sister Linglong, I was just playing around with you before, don't take it to heart~"

Xing Yaoyan really couldn't bear to bully the poor cat-eared loli anymore; after all, looking at her, anyone who didn't know better would think she had actually done something to her...

After getting the answer she wanted, Ying Linglong slowly approached Xing Yaoyan. Then she stayed obediently by her side, no longer looking like the little witch she was before.

With a slight thought, Xing Yaoyan suddenly reached out and grabbed Ying Linglong's "little paw" that was still restlessly rubbing behind her back.

"Since we're sisters now, it's fine to hold hands, right?"

Before Ying Linglong could speak, Xing Yaoyan said directly with a smile.

She could swear to the heavens that there were absolutely no improper thoughts behind this action.

It was just that Ying Linglong's image fit her fantasy of a little sister too well—naughty, mischievous... but becoming very obedient after a bit of her own training...

She absolutely loved this cute sense of contrast.

Ying Linglong's small hand struggled symbolically in hers for a moment, then she let her be.

The cat-eared loli just held the White Wolf Girl's hand like that, and they walked forward quietly together.

Smiles hung on the girls' faces; the cat-eared loli's black dress and the White Wolf Girl's white robe complemented each other, and the two had clearly become a beautiful sight on this street.

After a while.

"Sister Yan, where exactly are we going?"

"Uh..."

Xing Yaoyan was instantly stumped by the question.

In fact, she didn't know where she was going either.

It was just that the atmosphere was right, so she just held Ying Linglong's hand and walked aimlessly down the street.

"How about little sister Linglong takes me to get a meal first? I need to be full and satisfied before I can start fighting."

"Eh? Don't Star Beasts all eat things like spirit crystals and star crystals? You still enjoy gourmet food?"

Ying Linglong tilted her head and looked at Xing Yaoyan.

"Among the Star Beasts you knew before, were there any like me?"

"Uh... no."

"Hmph hmph... Exactly. Don't question your Sister Yan anymore. You should know, I am a noble..."

Before the four words "Star-Devouring Heavenly Wolf" could be spoken, Xing Yaoyan stopped herself abruptly.

She had a strong premonition that once she spoke the name of her race, she would truly never have a day of peace again.

"Noble what?"

The tail behind Ying Linglong turned into a black question mark.

"...Saintess of the Demon Race..."

Xing Yaoyan reacted quickly and hurriedly smoothed over her words.

The cat-eared loli gave her another suspicious look, but soon stopped dwelling on it.

"Look, Sister Yan! This is the best place to eat in our Imperial City—'Juxian Restaurant'. Once you've tasted the food inside, I guarantee you'll never forget it for the rest of your life."

The two stopped in front of an antique-style building. On the large plaque in front of the door were the three powerful characters 'Juxian Pavilion'.

Ying Linglong's eyes seemed to sparkle with stars; it seemed she highly approved of the food here.

Just as Xing Yaoyan was about to follow the already impatient Ying Linglong inside, she paused, suddenly thinking of a very serious problem.

"Little sister Linglong, do you have any spirit crystals..."

That's right, the common currency of the Kingdom of Myriad Demons was the spirit crystals used by Espers for Cultivation.

Although the Yao all relied on their own fighting or devouring Yao cores or spirit cores to activate their own Bloodline and improve their rank, they couldn't help the fact that merchants from the Human Alliance needed spirit crystals.

Consequently, the Kingdom of Myriad Demons simply adopted spirit crystals as the common currency by convention.

"Uh..."

The originally jubilant Ying Linglong instantly froze in place.

But soon, as if she had thought of something, she quickly hugged Xing Yaoyan's arm with both hands, shaking it while saying:

"Sister Yan, I heard my dad say you came from the Human Alliance. There must be spirit crystals everywhere there. In that case, you should have at least a few thousand, right..."

"Don't talk nonsense, girl. There are many spirit crystals in the Human Alliance, but they aren't something I can just easily get my hands on. I only managed to save this much after working my life away there."

As she spoke, a small bag instantly appeared in the White Wolf Girl's palm.

"I only have these hundred left."

She had gotten these from Hu Wang earlier. The ones Qian Mo gave her had already been secretly consumed to restore her state after being rescued by Sun Wu.

Almost at the same time, the two girls glanced at the menu at the front desk of Juxian Restaurant.

Well... the cheapest one cost a hundred and fifty spirit crystals...

Just as Xing Yaoyan sighed inwardly and was about to pull away Ying Linglong, who was still staring longingly at the delicacies on other people's tables.

A laugh rang out in the ears of the two girls.

"Oh? Isn't this little Linglong of the Cat Demon Clan... What? Your old man didn't give you money again? Hahaha... How pathetic..."
