Chapter 343: Chapter 341 Who is the prey, who is delighted!
Feeling she was at a good distance, she emerged from the ground, and the range of the System Map immediately expanded to three hundred meters, revealing Welly lying on the ground, like a blood-soaked figure, unconscious.
As for the Giant Serpent Lake Turtle, it had already vanished…
Sally reverted to human form and quickly glanced at the Holy War Points on her wrist, which had increased by over five hundred and twenty-thousand points.
Out of those points, five million unquestionably came from Welly completing his mission.
“Welly?!” Sally turned over the bloodied figure.
His mask was nowhere to be found, and his face was smeared with blood. Yet even so, the features that were revealed were so perfectly breathtaking.
She got a pot of water and cleaned the blood off his face.
He truly was handsome, even Xiaomei acknowledged his beauty, which was indeed stunning.
It was a beauty that defied description! From the high bridge of his nose to his thin lips, from the angle of his brows to his jawline… His perfection was so alienating, it made one despair.
[Host is a ‘face-connoisseur,’ seeing a beauty, your hormones are stirring, oh.]
[You shut up! This just proves that I am a normal woman, with a natural reaction to a handsome man.]
Sally then took out a Dust-Cleaning Charm and cleaned Welly thoroughly.
Well!
Even more handsome!
Can’t take my eyes off him…
[Host, the demonic nature inside his body is beginning to spread.]
Witnessing his pale and translucent skin taking on a slight, devilishly enticing red hue, his dense and long black eyelashes casting a shadow…
[He must have made a great effort to transform back from a demon to a human. Xiaomei, help him.]
[Help him become human?]
[Yes.]
[So, host, if you bear a child with him, Xiaomei can use the Main System’s power to help him become Human Clan completely.]
[…Xiaomei!] Sally frowned.
[You are going to bear Saint Rank offspring anyway, why not have one with him.]
Looking at Welly, who resembled an exceptional and timeless ink painting, [I’ll ask him about it. If he doesn’t want to, I won’t force it.]
[You were quite resistant before, but seeing the prize, your heart is tempted.]
[Is that how you use that phrase? Who is the prey, and who is delighted!]
[Hehe~ Xiaomei is just waiting for the good news from the host.]
[There’s no good news.]
There were plenty of good-looking men in the world; she wasn’t infatuated with them. Just because she appreciated beauty didn’t mean she had to have children.
Sally, not wanting to deal with this anymore, took out a tent from her space and moved Welly in for some rest.
Then, from her space, she took out an ancient box she had dug up underground.
She dusted off the dirt, glancing at her Holy War Points on her wrist, which were still increasing – Yu Yan and Yin Zang must be having quite a thrill.
Forget them, she thought, they would naturally come together in the second phase.
The box had a puzzle lock; she gave it a tap.
[Xiaomei, can you open it?]
[The lock has already been opened.]
Any task involving brainpower was something Xiaomei could handle without fail.
Sally successfully opened the box.
Inside was a black stone.
[Xiaomei, what kind of stone is this?]
[Black Marrow Crystal, one of the Five Elements Spirit Stones – Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Wood – containing the pure Wind Spiritual Element.]
[It’s a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, right?]
“Yes, but in the host’s previous treasure trove, there were also plenty of these Spirit Stones.”
“Xiaomei, I never felt wealthy before, but now that I’m so poor, I suddenly think that the old me was the epitome of glamor and affluence!”
Hair white, moderately wealthy, and beautiful…
…
The remaining days passed in Welly’s comatose state.
Sally hadn’t paid much attention to the other squads’ points. On the last day of the Holy War, she checked her now-closed Holy War Points on her wrist—89,427,154. Xiaomei told her that she had been in first place from start to finish.
To the Holy War Committee, she was definitely a dark horse.
The first squad, 9908—[Female Rat Clan Sally, Offspring System Spirit Beast-grade, Earth Rank Fire Element Secret Technique, total team members 4. Holy War Phase One Total Points: 89,427,154.]
The second squad, 2345—[Female Rabbit Clan Lin Xuexue, Offspring System Spirit Beast-grade, Blue Rank, Wood Element Secret Technique. 1 dead, 5 survivors, Holy War Phase One Total Points: 24,579,865]
The third squad, 0048—[Female Cat Clan Shi Feifei, Offspring System Spirit Beast-grade, Profound Rank, Special Element Perfume Secret Technique. 5 dead, 1 survivor, Holy War Phase One Total Points: 10,478,322]
After reading the Phase One Holy War results Xiaomei had sent her, Sally wasn’t too surprised.
Apart from her, who cheated on the questions, the other two were admissions by exception.
Welly awoke.
He raised his hand to touch his face and found that the mask was gone, but he didn’t care too much.
Stepping out of the tent, it was midnight.
Sally sat cross-legged on the grass, looking up at the shooting stars.
“Have you woken up?” Sally asked, hearing movement within the tent.
Welly walked beside her, “So many shooting stars?”
“These… all belong to the females who survived until the end. As they didn’t rank in the top three, all the males in their squads will die, while the females will be redeployed to other continents.”
“Which place are you in?” Welly didn’t care about the others.
Sally replied, “First. I can go see my Beast Husband now.”
“Congratulations.” Welly still watched the shooting stars.
Sally’s gaze shifted to him, particularly the breathtakingly beautiful face under the moonlight, “You should keep wearing the mask.”
“…” Welly looked down at her.
Sally took out a mask identical to the one previously broken from her space, made for her by Xiaomei, “For you.”
“Thank you.” Welly took it from her hand.
Suddenly, Sally was enveloped in a transporting array of light.
She had been waiting for this moment and said to Welly with a smile, “We’ll meet again in the second-phase continent.”
“May everything go well.” As the transporting light swept her away, Welly watched her; his fingers played with the mask and then, with a trace of demonic energy, he reduced it to dust…
…
The solemn and sacred church.
A kind-looking old man in red robes handed Sally a cup of water, “I’m the Sect Hierarch responsible for the Holy War in the Lichuan Continental District. I bless the first-place winner—congratulations, Candidate Sally, for obtaining first place in the first stage. This is Holy Water.”
“Thank you, Your Excellency.” Sally took it but didn’t drink immediately, instead glancing around for Frans’ figure.
Seeing this, the manajer inquired, “Does Candidate Sally have any questions?”
“How come there’s only Your Excellency? Are there no other clerics, like the Holy Executor responsible for the Holy War Laws?” She nearly mentioned Frans by name.
The manajer was surprised that Sally knew of the Holy Executor but still replied, “None are here.”
Sally’s expression conveyed disbelief, “Impossible… he should be here.”
Observing Sally’s growing anxiety, the manajer said, “If Candidate Sally wishes to see the Holy Executor, I can summon him.”
“That would be great! I appreciate it, Your Excellency.”
Sally downed the cup of Holy Water in one gulp—it could prevent one malevolent foul, so it was a must to drink it.
As for taste, it was just like plain water…
Sally carefully arranged her hair and brushed off her clothes, removing the small grass clippings and dust.
