Chapter 680: Liu Ya's Change! (Seeking Follow-Up Reads)
"What do you mean, athlete's foot? I want a kiss!"
Huangfu Xiangling didn't care about any of that, and just planted a kiss on Xiao Ye.
After kissing him, she got a little excited and said, "See? I still got to kiss you, hehe."
"But why does it taste a bit different from before, kind of sweet."
"It's like I just ate a whole jar of honey, so sweet."
Huangfu Xiangling reached out her little hand, "Mmm, I want candy too."
Xiao Ye and Ziran exchanged glances.
Candy?
*Where was the candy—there was never any candy!*
*Wait! When Huangfu Xiangling said sweet, could she be talking about a fungal infection?*
"Ahem!"
Xiao Ye used his Creation Divine Technique and created a piece of candy, placing it in Huangfu Xiangling's hand.
Huangfu Xiangling tossed it into her mouth, chewed it a few times, her big bright eyes full of cleverness, and said,
"I get it now, that kind of sweetness belongs only to your candy."
"Not really suitable for me, Huangfu Xiangling."
"Alright, alright."
Even though the flavor was different, it was still sweet.
She, Huangfu Xiangling, was easily satisfied!
Then, Huangfu Xiangling waved her hand, "Xiao Ye, you can go. I need to start cultivating."
Xiao Ye left and headed toward the Endless Cave, ten light years from the Great Mountain Range.
The Endless Cave was a naturally formed underground series of vast caverns, one after another, linked together in a chain.
The most beautiful teaching assistant at Kunpeng Academy, Liu Ya, was walking and exploring inside one of these caves.
Every so often, a Phantom Spirit Elf popped up around the cave, their curious little eyes studying Liu Ya.
It felt like there was something about Liu Ya that made them feel close to her.
Liu Ya ignored them. These Phantom Spirit Elves had been born from the Phantom Spirit Ore Vein, were of the Phantom Spirit Attribute, and possessed innate skills that let them hide and walk through walls.
Her goal was to find the Rule Origin Essence of the Phantom Spirit Attribute at the Star River Realm.
But suddenly, a tall, muscular male Phantom Spirit Elf appeared in front of Liu Ya.
He was showing off the explosive muscles and his eight-pack abs, babbling,
"Woman, I'll give you a chance, submit to me and be my concubine, and I'll give you the highest status there is."
He waved his hand, and the cavern filled with a dense crowd of Phantom Spirit Elves.
More Phantom Spirit Elves popped right out of the cave walls.
The Elf King looked down and said,
"These are all my people."
"And I am the noble Elf King."
"So, have you made up your mind yet?"
Liu Ya curled her lips into a smirk, crossed her arms, leaned against the wall, and squinted, saying,
"Sorry, I've already got a man."
"Let me give you some advice: disappear from my sight within a second, or you're going to have a bad day."
In Liu Ya's gaze, she saw a strikingly handsome young man appear behind the Elf King.
The young man was about six feet tall, pretty much the same height as the Elf King, but the difference in their aura and looks was night and day.
The Elf Race was famous for being handsome and beautiful, yet compared to Xiao Ye, the Elf King looked pretty average.
Especially when it came to presence—he was nothing compared to Xiao Ye, who was a Sovereign.
The Elf King couldn't sense Xiao Ye at all, but his face darkened and he said,
"Woman, don't be ungrateful!"
"No one can refuse me; I am the Elf King!"
Liu Ya laughed.
*This Elf King was really full of himself.*
She chuckled softly, "Frog at the bottom of the well."
"Better luck picking your parents next life, Elf King."
The Elf King got furious, his thick brows standing up, just about to say something.
He suddenly felt someone pressing down on his shoulder!
The ground seemed to drop out beneath his feet, then his body felt like it was being crushed by the weight of an entire planet—so heavy his bones nearly shattered and his body stooped like a shrimp.
The Elf King's face turned red from the strain, terror flickered in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Ye, who had suddenly appeared, asking in fear,
"You, who are you?"
"Why have you entered the Elf Race's territory?"
Xiao Ye said, "I'm your daddy!"
"Fuck! Trying to poach my girl? You've got guts, I'll give you that."
He tapped the Elf King on the shoulder.
Splat.
The Elf King burst into a scattering of starlight, his divine soul wiped out.
All the Phantom Spirit Elves nearby scattered, taking off at top speed.
Liu Ya, in her leather jacket and pants, threw herself into Xiao Ye's arms, and laughed,
"Little Xiao Ye, you finally came looking for your big sister."
"With all those other Beast Girls, I thought you'd forgotten all about me."
"It's been ages since you spent time with me."
Xiao Ye thought for a bit, "The last time I came to see you was during training."
Liu Ya gave him a smack and complained,
"In real life, you never come visit me once."
"Whenever you see me, you act like you're just completing a task—barely even trying."
"What, so once you had your fun, you're sick of me?"
Xiao Ye gave an awkward laugh, "That's not it."
"Sister Liu Ya is the Goddess Teaching Assistant of Kunpeng Academy, the dream crush of half the male students—how could I ever get tired of you?"
"Don't overthink it!"
"Honestly, it's this Phantom Spirit Elf Race that doesn't seem to know their place."
He activated the Destiny Divine Technique.
He altered the fate of the royal line of the Phantom Spirit Elves inside the Space-Time Hall.
A river of destiny appeared in his vision.
The river of destiny was made up of countless tiny sparkles, flowing downstream in a current.
He reached in and pulled out the fate of the Phantom Spirit Elf Race from the Space-Time Hall.
He tried adjusting a few life paths.
From that point on, only strong and virtuous elves could become Elf King within the Phantom Spirit Elf Race; all the crazed, obsessed Elf Kings like the last one, who let his lower half rule his actions, were banished from the royal line.
Afterward, Xiao Ye laughed,
"This Phantom Spirit Elf Race—you can take over and manage them now."
"You're the Sovereign of the Phantom Spirit Attribute, plus you have the template of the Phantom Spirit Ancestor Cat—you can make new Phantoms yourself and lead the whole Phantom Spirit Race."
Liu Ya curled her lip, "I'm really not interested."
"Having a chill life is way better. Running a bunch of elves sounds like a huge headache."
Xiao Ye shrugged, "Whatever you want."
Liu Ya blew a breath into his ear, bedroom eyes glinting, and spoke in a sultry tone,
"Enough about that, Xiao Ye, aren't you forgetting something?"
"The last time you spent time with me—wasn't that millions of years ago? Don't you think it's time you made it up to me?"
Millions of years meant in the Space-Time Hall.
Xiao Ye cleared his throat, "Since I'm here, I'll help you find the Rule Origin Essence, and also take care of you while I'm at it."
"If you need anything these days, just ask me—I'll make sure you're taken care of."
Liu Ya perked right up.
She dragged him into a sealed cavern, laid down a ward, and then went wild.
One hundred twenty-eight hours later.
Xiao Ye staggered out, supporting himself against the wall, looking a little worn out.
Liu Ya, cheeks flushed and spirits high, helped him out.
She gave him a sly smile, "You'd better come see me more often from now on."
Xiao Ye quickly promised, "Alright, I swear I'll come find you every so often."
*His heart pounded—these Beast Girls really needed attention. If he didn't keep up, with how wild they got, he wouldn't stand a chance.*
He used his authority in the Space-Time Hall to summon and awaken the Rule Origin Essence of the Phantom Spirit Attribute at the Star River Realm.
Liu Ya pushed Xiao Ye aside and waved,
"Go on, Xiao Ye, I have things to do."
"And don't you dare come by just one time and then disappear again, or I'll hunt you down and call you out even if it means skipping cultivation."
Xiao Ye nodded and turned to leave.
