135: Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly
The overall purple color of the Purple Lightning Light Butterfly did not change much, but as it absorbed energy, its size became a bit larger.
The varying shades of purple or red patterns on its body became more vibrant, as if it was constantly emitting a hazy purple illusionary light into the surrounding space.
Making it seem like a Beast from a dream, rather than one that could exist in reality.
Its body in the middle of its wings also became more slender. For a moment, Luo Chen seemed to see a beautiful figure replace the insect body of the Purple Lightning Light Butterfly, appearing in the middle of its wings.
However, this only appeared for a brief moment, and Luo Chen always thought it was due to the interference of the purple illusionary light around it, causing his vision to be blurry when he saw the scene.

Evolution Path: Not yet unlocked.
Luo Chen looked at this Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly, which was now about the size of his upper body. In Luo Chen's opinion, its final Evolution Path was actually worth the materials consumed.
However, the only thing that puzzled Luo Chen was why a spatial energy stone was needed when there were clearly no spatial Skills in the end?
Could it be for the last Skill, to cross space to summon the Divine Maiden's descent?
But in an instant, Luo Chen felt that he was overthinking things.
If there really was a Divine Maiden, why would she cast her gaze upon this small King-Ranked Beast butterfly?
However, although this Divine Maiden was a Pseudo-Heaven Grade Skill, there were too many uncontrollable factors. Luo Chen felt that it was not as useful as the Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly's first six Skills.
But at a crucial moment, it might have a miraculous effect for saving one's life. No one could say for sure.
He checked the time, and it was already six in the morning on August 13th.
Luo Chen estimated that Liang Jingsi should arrive soon, so he did not stay to observe the effects of the Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly's Skills.
He was now eagerly awaiting news from Liang Jingsi about the purchasing channels for the Purple Lightning Light Butterfly, as he was currently more interested in its other Evolution Path.
The one that required even rarer and more precious materials than evolving the Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly.
So, on this morning, Luo Chen uncharacteristically went out to buy several breakfasts.
Looking at Luo Yang, who was also sound asleep in the store, Luo Chen ignored his resentment and directly woke him up to accompany him in enjoying a stomach-friendly breakfast on the first floor.
While eating breakfast, he observed Luo Yang's two Beasts, both of which had reached the nine-star Spirit Beast Rank.
If they were to participate in a competition in Liuguang City, this Rank would certainly be far inferior compared to some of the aristocratic family's disciples.
Therefore, Luo Chen naturally could not sit by and watch his younger brother be treated as an experience bar. Fortunately, both Beasts had already reached the brink of breakthrough, so Luo Chen was not at a loss for what to do.
“Knock, knock, knock”
“Please come in.”
Looking at the figure who opened the shop door and entered, Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, not expecting Liang Jingsi to arrive so early.
Perhaps it could also be said that she had not left Qingyang City at all yesterday.
“I didn't expect Miss Liang to arrive so early. Would you like to have some breakfast together?”
A rare hint of awkwardness appeared on Liang Jingsi's face. She knew that she was indeed a bit too eager, coming to the pet store so early.
She gently shook her head at Luo Chen's invitation to have breakfast together.
“Shopkeeper Luo, it's quite early, and I apologize for the disturbance. Here are two Purple Lightning Light Butterflies, and also the contact information for the shop in Biyuan City that sells this Type of butterfly.”
Two Purple Lightning Light Butterflies wearing Beast-restraining rings appeared beside Liang Jingsi, along with a slip of paper with a number written on it.
“Miss Liang, you're too kind. Please wait a moment, I'll go bring your two Beasts down.”
Liang Jingsi nodded, her right hand constantly fiddling with her hair, revealing that her inner feelings were not as calm as her outward appearance suggested.
Luo Yang, who was still in a daze, suddenly became clear-headed after Luo Chen went up the stairs.
“Miss Liang, why are you here?”
Liang Jingsi then noticed Luo Yang, who had been lying on the table.
Knowing that this was Luo Chen's younger brother, Liang Jingsi smiled and explained:
“I'm here to pick up the Beasts I entrusted to your brother for evolution.”
Luo Yang looked a bit suspicious, but not being fully aware of the situation, he just nodded and even thoughtfully invited Liang Jingsi to sit down.
“Then you sit down first.”
Luo Yang picked up a small steamed bun with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
Eating alone while the other person waited at a nearby table made the atmosphere less awkward.
Not long after, Luo Chen returned to the first floor, accompanied by two Beasts that Liang Jingsi could barely recognize.
Liang Jingsi excitedly stood up from her seat. Through the bond of the contract, she was absolutely certain that the two Beasts by Luo Chen's side were the ones she had given him yesterday.
Perhaps because the distance was close enough, the feedback of the two Beasts evolving into King Beasts successfully descended upon Liang Jingsi.
Liang Jingsi had to stop herself from moving towards the two Beasts, instead closing her eyes to receive the energy descending from the void.
However, the actions of the Purple Sky Goddess Butterfly and the White Jade Spider Mother were not affected at all. Instead, they both rushed to Liang Jingsi's side faster than the other.
It was as if they were reenacting a scene of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl's rare reunion.
However, they were also very considerate not to disturb Liang Jingsi's current State of receiving feedback. Instead, they fluttered around her or stayed at her feet, as if smelling her scent brought them peace of mind.
Luo Yang, who was standing by, saw this scene and curiously asked, “Brother, is she advancing to King Rank?”
Luo Chen nodded, “You hurry up and eat, then let Crimson Flame and Clear Night adjust to their best State. I will evolve them shortly.
Otherwise, as the younger brother of the Chenyang Pet Store's shopkeeper, if you yourself haven't reached King Rank, I don't know if others will laugh at you or at me.”
When Luo Yang heard Luo Chen's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. He grabbed a few small steamed buns from the plate with one hand, then called Crimson Flame and Clear Night and ran upstairs.
“Brother, I'm full. Crimson Flame, Clear Night, and I will wait for you in the Tranquil Room.”
Leaving Luo Chen standing there with a face full of black lines.
Liang Jingsi's advancement to King Rank did not take long, and she quickly opened her eyes.
And in that short time, she had already learned the Skill information of her two Beasts through the contract.
Now, she was truly so excited she didn't know what to say, because the current situation was many times better than she had imagined.
Ultimately, a thousand words converged into two simple ones: “Thank you.”
Luo Chen waved his hand, “You're welcome. You've also paid the compensation.”
Liang Jingsi gently shook her head, “Shopkeeper Luo, I know that the compensation I paid is far from matching the value of these two evolved Beasts.
So, consider it that I owe the shopkeeper a favor. In the future, if the shopkeeper has any needs, within the bounds of the law, Jingsi will do her utmost to repay it.”
Liang Jingsi's solemn tone made Luo Chen a bit uncomfortable.
“Uh, alright. Our transaction is complete. If there's nothing else, I have other matters to attend to.”
With Liang Jingsi's intelligence, how could she not see Luo Chen's current discomfort and his desire to hastily send her away?
“I see that Shopkeeper Luo's store is short-staffed. Collecting materials or purchasing other Beast cubs can be a bit troublesome. Why doesn't the shopkeeper entrust such tedious and errand-running tasks to our Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House?”
Liang Jingsi's words instantly caught Luo Chen's attention. Luo Chen thought about it and realized that he indeed had no interest in these tedious matters.
Outsourcing it to a force like Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House, which has a certain personnel base, seemed like a good option.
Luo Chen smiled lightly, “If I were to outsource, I would have many choices. Why must it be your Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House, or rather, the Liang Family?”
Liang Jingsi gently said, “Because I can guarantee the loyalty of the Liang Family. As long as the shopkeeper supports me in becoming the head of the Liang Family, then I am willing to make Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House an affiliated force of Chenyang Pet Store.”
Luo Chen now looked at Liang Jingsi with new eyes. He had to admit that this woman looked like a vase, but she was the ambitious Type.
Hmm, how to put it, she also had good foresight.
“I hope Miss Liang will consider this carefully, as it is a decision concerning the rise and fall of a family.
How about this, I will be going to Liuguang City soon to participate in a Breeder competition, and I will be staying in Liuguang City for half a month.
After Miss Liang has thoroughly considered it during this period, then give me a definite answer. For now, let's end it here for today.”
After speaking, Luo Chen waved his hand and walked towards the second floor.
Liang Jingsi stood there dazed for a long time before putting her two greatly changed Beasts into her Beast Space, then opened the shop door and walked out.
However, her back had a certain resolve, like a female general about to go to battle.
