Chapter 249 Urgent Telegram from the Front
Chapter 249 Urgent Telegram from the Front
Mutsuki was in an extremely subtle and complex psychological state at this moment.
On the one hand, she was relieved that Xue Youyou had kept her promise not to kill before the war and hadn't killed her outright.
On the other hand, she felt intense resentment that her proudest Synchro form had been so easily broken down, so naturally defeated, and so quickly reverted to its original form.
Tian Yubai separated her from the body of the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly, which objectively saved her life, but she really couldn't be happy.
Yes, she is extremely, extremely, extremely unwilling to accept this.
Even though everyone was at the Ultimate level, she was even ahead by a Synchro Form, so why did she end up losing? And losing so decisively.
Having taken a two-move lead, the result was a close and evenly matched contest.
They were ahead of the game, but then the gap was closed in the blink of an eye.
She really felt like throwing up.
Damn it!
If it weren't for the last bit of decorum she had to maintain, she really would have cursed out on the spot.
Seeing Mutsuki's expression as if she wanted to pounce on him and bite him, Yuki shrugged and said in a tone almost like soothing a ruffled animal, "This is a competition, and I've won. It's that simple. I don't want to do anything, and I won't do anything to you."
Mutsuki glared at her fiercely, her voice full of resentment: "If the Imperial Festival hadn't coincidentally started in the middle of our battle, your Yuki-onna would never have been able to evolve into her Ultimate form! I should have won!"
Seeing Mutsuki acting stubbornly and sulking like a child, Xue Youyou chuckled inwardly.
She naturally couldn't be bothered to take Mutsuki's words seriously.
On the battlefield, there are no "what ifs".
Anyway, she won, and no matter how much Mutsuki tries to win in spirit, it won't change the undeniable fact.
So Xue Youyou decided to go along with her for now, replying with a forced smile, "I almost lost to you."
Even though Xue's tone wasn't sarcastic at all, Mu Yue felt something was off no matter how she listened to it. Every word felt like a needle pricking at her already wounded pride.
Mutsuki continued indignantly, "Isn't your pet a bit too unfair?! Why can its Ultimate form fight against my Mega and Synchro forms?!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou nodded matter-of-factly, her tone so frank it was almost arrogant: "Of course, I won't play if I don't cheat."
She only ever plays the strongest and most unreliable games.
There's an old saying in the book "The Contract of Ten Thousand Beasts" from my previous life: An opponent's insults are the best praise.
It was obvious that Mutsuki had broken down.
If you've broken through their defenses, then that's the right move.
The more the enemy opposes, the more it proves that you are right.
Seeing Xue Youyou's arrogant words, Mu Yue couldn't swallow her anger and retorted defiantly, "I was just unprepared today, which is why you won by chance. If you have the guts, let me go. We'll fight again another day when I'm back to my peak!"
Xue Youyou saw through her attempt to provoke her at a glance, but she didn't care much. She simply elegantly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said in a light tone, "Sure."
Mutsuki was overjoyed that Yuki Yuuyu had agreed so readily.
But, the next second—
Xue Youyou abruptly changed the subject, saying slowly, "However, before I let you go, you must first follow my instructions."
"Wha...what do you mean?"
Mutsuki met Yuki's suddenly frightening eyes and couldn't help but swallow hard, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
A very ominous premonition suddenly surged from the bottom of my heart.
Before Mutsuki could think it over carefully, Yuki Yuyu put her hands together and clapped them lightly.
"Snapped!"
With a crisp clapping sound, Tian Yubai, having received the order, raised his right hand and shot a beam of light as thick as a finger downwards from his index finger.
The next moment, behind Mutsuki, a beam of destructive energy covering a radius of ten kilometers descended from the sky, piercing diagonally through the land of the Holy Domain.
"boom--!"
Mutsuki suddenly realized something and abruptly turned around to look.
Sure enough—her ten-winged white moon fairy butterfly was the target of this ray that was capable of annihilating everything.
After the blinding beam of light dissipated, the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly had completely vanished from this world.
Almost at the same moment, Mutsuki saw the resurrection countdown for the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly on the pet panel.
Her heart sank, and she stiffly turned her head, her face ashen as she looked at Xue Youyou.
Xue Youyou was looking at her with a smile.
The meaning behind that expression couldn't be clearer—this is what happens when you disobey.
Of course, Xue Youyou wasn't simply making an example of someone to scare Muyue.
More importantly, she is now eager to upgrade.
After the Divine Snow Woman evolved into Ten no Shiro, her level cap was finally unlocked again. Relying on the massive amount of experience points she had accumulated from the Frost Soul Master, Ten no Shiro instantly reached level 78 upon evolution.
At this level, the legendary ultimate technique, Snow Accumulation, has truly entered its period of explosive power. Each level increase represents a tremendous and transformative boost for Tian Yubai.
With such a ready-made experience package right in front of her, Xue Youyou naturally couldn't let it go.
No matter what, this fight can't be fought for nothing.
Since we've lost, we might as well become experience points.
And the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly certainly did not disappoint her. After Tian Yu Bai killed it, she immediately leveled up three levels, jumping from level seventy-eight to level eighty-one.
As for incidentally intimidating Mutsuki, that was an unexpected bonus.
Seeing Mutsuki's face contorted with humiliation, Xue Youyou felt a strange sense of satisfaction. She slightly raised her chin and said, "Go tell your teammates to surrender immediately, and they might be spared."
"..."
Mutsuki remained silent for a long time before finally nodding, bearing the humiliation with a heavy heart: "Yes."
Afterwards, she called Yun Wangshu, the former captain of the Moonlight Academy.
Although the wristband's communication function cannot currently contact the outside world, teammates in the same location can still stay in touch.
Just as Mutsuki was blushing and awkwardly stammering as she communicated with Yun Wangshu, Xue Youyou's contact list suddenly rang.
At that moment... who called?
Xue Youyou was slightly taken aback, and immediately looked down to check. The caller ID showed that it was Bao Yunxing.
what?
After a slight surprise, Xue Youyou realized what was happening.
If it's the mastermind behind it all, then it's not surprising that they were able to break in from the outside.
As for why Bao Yunxing called at this particular time, she could roughly guess.
She had agreed with Bao Yunxing to delay for thirty minutes, and that time hadn't come yet. The battle had ended ahead of schedule, and Bao Yunxing, having received the news, was probably worried that Muyue would escape prematurely, which was why he made this urgent call in such a hurry.
Xue Youyou was very dissatisfied with Bao Yunxing's suspicion.
In fact, the reason she didn't immediately agree to let Mutsuki go was to make Mutsuki stay with her for the full thirty minutes, fulfilling her promise to Bao Yunxing before releasing her.
Bao Yunxing's actions were truly a case of judging a lady by the standards of a petty person.
Although Bao Yunxing's actions were unethical, Xue Youyou's actions were still quite benevolent.
Xue Youyou answered the phone somewhat irritably, and before the other end could speak, she interrupted, saying in a curt tone, "Don't worry, I promised you, and I won't be shortchanged by a single second."
"By the way, how are things going on your end?"
To my surprise, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
"Feed?" Xue Youyou asked, her face full of questions.
After waiting for a long time, a voice finally came back from the other end.
However, it wasn't Bao Yunxing's voice, but a completely unfamiliar female voice.
"Your leader, Bao, has been captured by our Moon Worship Cult."
"Now, we sincerely request that you exchange hostages."
"what?"
Xue Youyou blinked in surprise.
What does this mean?
Has the Alliance Leader lost his virginity?
