Chapter 313: Netherworld Phantom Cat and Ice Moon Elf Were His Pets
At least in the North-Southwest Region, his name was firmly engraved in the minds of the Guadians and the higher-ups of the military.
Anyone who had seen Lugh would never forget his swift and decisive methods.
Even the people in the North-Southwest Region spread his legend.
On the worm train, Lugh sat on the sofa, quietly flipping through the book in his hand.
Lucy sat across from him, looking out of the window. Occasionally, she would look at Lugh across from her.
More than half a year had pa.s.sed, and Lugh’s seventeenth birthday had long pa.s.sed.
During this half a year, Lugh had either been exterminating, hunting down and killing members of the Beast G.o.d Cult, or on the way to exterminating members of the Beast G.o.d Cult.
Because of the continuous encirclement and pursuit of the members of the Beast G.o.d Cult for half a year…
The aura on Lugh’s body also became more condensed.
His entire body carried a cold, cruel, and b.l.o.o.d.y pressure.
Just by looking at his temperament, no one would think that Lugh was only seventeen years old.
Sensing that the worm train was slowing down, Lugh slowly raised his head. “Are we almost there?”
“Yes.”
Lugh took a sip of his drink and touched the Netherworld Phantom Cat that was lying under his feet. The Netherworld Phantom Cat gently rubbed Lugh’s palm. It even stuck out its tongue and gently licked his palm.
A gentle smile appeared on Lugh’s cold face as he patted the Netherworld Phantom Cat’s head.
Lucy pursed her lips when she saw this. She forced herself to turn her head to the outside of the window.
She was jealous.
For the past half a year, Lucy could not figure out that the Netherworld Phantom Cat was extremely docile to Lugh. It allowed him to touch and caress it.
As for Lucy?
She had never received such treatment before.
Every time her hand touched the Netherworld Phantom Cat, its fur would explode.
Sometimes, Lucy even wondered if the Netherworld Phantom Cat was her pet or Lugh’s pet.
“Kitten, this is for you.”
Lucy turned to Lugh when she heard what he said.
Then, her eyes were attracted by the blood-red fruit in Lugh’s hand.
She took a deep breath. She smelled the fragrance of a person’s heart and felt refreshed.
This smell was the smell of the Spirit Fruit.
There was no mistake.
This was the kind of fruit that had been auctioned at the Skylight City auction.
At that time, Lucy wanted to get this Spirit Fruit, but it was an important auction item for the Pavilion of Treasures.
The Pavilion of Treasures needed the Spirit Fruit to make a name for itself, so she couldn’t get it.
She didn’t expect that Lugh had a Spirit Fruit in his hands.
When the Netherworld Phantom Cat saw the item in Lugh’s hands, its pair of golden cat eyes stared at the Spirit Fruit.
It suddenly stood up from the ground. As it stared at the Spirit Fruit, it rubbed against Lugh’s thigh, moving back and forth.
Its heart was restless.
Its instincts told it that the red fruit would be of great help to it.
It could be seen that it really wanted this Spirit Fruit.
To an Emperor-tier Beast Master, the Spirit Fruit was of little value.
However, to a King-tier Beast Master, the Spirit Fruit had a chance to increase the growth potential of Fierce Beasts, and it was extremely useful.
If it was really useless, they could accept it.
At worst, they could capture crocodile Fierce Beasts with higher growth potential and use them as pets.
However, to Fierce Beasts, the Spirit Fruit that could increase their growth potential was a holy item.
For the Spirit Fruit, they were willing to risk their lives.
Lugh placed the Spirit Fruit in front of the Netherworld Phantom Cat and said, “This is a gift.”
The Netherworld Phantom Cat raised its head and looked at Lugh. After making sure that Lugh was really giving it a gift, it slowly moved closer, stuck out its tongue, and licked it.
“Lucy, tell that cat to give me the Spirit Fruit. Quickly order it to give me the Spirit Fruit,” the Ice Moon Elf in Lucy’s body said anxiously.
“Don’t get excited yet,” Lucy said to the Ice Moon Elf in her heart. “That is the gift that Lugh gave to the Netherworld Phantom Cat! Do you dare to s.n.a.t.c.h it?”
The Ice Moon Elf was completely dispirited.
She really did not have the courage.
The Ice Moon Elf felt as if her heart was being stabbed by a knife when she saw the Netherworld Phantom Cat eat the Spirit Fruit.
She recalled that in the past six months, she had often mocked the Netherworld Phantom Cat and mocked it for becoming Lugh’s pet.
Now, it suddenly wanted to replace the Netherworld Phantom Cat.
Wasn’t it just being a pet?
If it could be a pet for half a year and obtain the Spirit Fruit, it, the Ice Moon Elf, would also be willing.
Lucy said to the Ice Moon Elf, “Speaking of which, there is usually more than one Spirit Fruit once it appears.”
Speaking of which, Lucy still took advantage of the Spirit Fruit that Lugh fed the Netherworld Phantom Cat.
However, when the Ice Moon Elf heard Lucy’s words, she couldn’t sit still anymore.
“Lucy, go and ask Lugh if he likes pets that are cold to the touch.”
When Lucy heard the Ice Moon Elf’s words, she took a deep breath.
She felt that her Ice Moon Elf was going to betray her.
“No.”
“I think I’m going to betray you.”
“Uh… Okay, I’ll find some time to help you ask.”
After the Netherworld Phantom Cat ate the Spirit Fruit, it lay lazily on the ground, not wanting to move.
Lugh looked at the Netherworld Phantom Cat in confusion, Lucy explained, “The Spirit Fruit’s medicinal properties are very mild. After the Netherworld Phantom Cat ate it, it needs some time to digest it. If It’s lucky, its growth potential will increase by one level.”
“Then put it away.”
The worm train was about to stop.
“Okay.”
Lucy put away the Netherworld Phantom Cat and asked in a low voice, “Major, do you still have any Spirit Fruits?”
Lugh replied casually, “Yes, why?”
Lucy took a deep breath and said shamelessly, “The Ice Moon Elf saw the Spirit Fruit and wants one.”
With a flash of white light, a snow-white Ice Moon elf appeared in front of Lugh.
The Ice Moon Elf was a rare humanoid pet beast. It was very beautiful.
It also had a pair of snow-white wings and a waterfall of snow-white long hair. Its big ice-blue eyes were not as cold as the last time. There was a hint of flattery in its eyes.
“Big Brother Lugh.”
When Lugh heard this address, he asked with some disdain, “How old are you? Can you stop acting cute?”
“Major Lugh, can you give me a Spirit Fruit?”
“Here.”
Lugh threw a Spirit Fruit to the Ice Moon Elf.
The Ice Moon Elf quickly reached out and caught it, afraid that it would drop the Spirit Fruit.
The Ice Moon Elf was like the Netherworld Phantom Cat. Its growth potential was King-tier.
Normally, if one successfully increased their growth potential, they would be Emperor-tier.
From King-tier to Emperor-tier, this was the difference between heaven and earth.
How could the Ice Moon Elf still suppress the excitement in its heart? It quickly said, “Thank you.”
“Take it.”
“Okay.”
The Spirit Fruit was of no use to Lugh.
As long as he completed some of the missions issued by the system, his pet could automatically increase its growth potential.
If the Spirit Fruit was not consumed, it would be a waste to keep it.
In his opinion, it was quite good to hand it over to the Ice Moon Elf and the Netherworld Phantom Cat.
During the past half a year, Lucy had been running around with him, leading a team to exterminate the forces of the Beast G.o.d Cult. She had done her best and suffered a lot along the way.
However, she had never complained about anything.
The Netherworld Phantom Cat was now just like his pet. If he wanted to pet it, he would pet it. It was very obedient.
The Ice Moon Elf was also good-looking. She could even be used to soak in water. During the summer, she could also create air-conditioning. Lugh had also enjoyed it.
Moreover, increasing Lucy’s strength was actually also increasing Lugh’s strength.
Having a capable and reliable subordinate who could be on standby at any time felt pretty good.
The Ice Moon Elf held the Spirit Fruit with a face full of joy.
Lugh reached out his hand and rubbed it on its arm.
The ice was cold and slippery, as smooth as jade.
The Ice Moon Elf looked at Lugh, and Lugh explained, “I’m just curious.”
“Oh.”
It stretched out its hand, grabbed Lugh’s wide palm, and asked, “How do you feel?”
“A little cold.”
Lugh stared at the frost on his hand.
“I’m an elemental lifeform.”
Lugh squeezed its palm, and the ice crystal shattered. “I’ll get an elemental pet too in the future.”
“But it’s a pity.” The Ice Moon Elf looked at Lucy with disdain. “It’s a pity that I have a contract. Even if I betray her, I can’t follow you.”
…
The worm train stopped and the door slowly opened. Lugh jumped out.
Seeing the familiar Skylight City station, he opened his arms and stretched.
Lucy also got off the train and quietly stood beside Lugh.
