Chapter 72: The Truth of Dragon Palace, Liuliu Yue Was Asleep for 46 Days!?
"Boom!!!!!!"
At that moment, the sound of the falling star drowned out all other sounds in the Burning Heart State.
The deafening explosion echoed loudly in the ears of all living beings.
The area within hundreds of kilometers was completely shattered by the falling star.
Even the Battle Pet Association Branch town, which was farther away, was affected; despite having a protective barrier, it could not stop the tremors of the earth, and countless buildings were flipped over by the torn ground.
Yin Hongsu stared in confusion at the chaos, then glanced again at the group chat that was met with silence, her expression showing disbelief.
"No, it can’t be!?"
"What is this, who did this!?"
"……"
"It’s the Sun-moon-star, Bow of Instant Inflammation, from the forbidden area of Sun God Capital!!"
"Divine Domain, are we going to have a war with the eight states!!"
As a serious female voice rang out.
Behind Yin Hongsu, a beautiful woman with long black curly hair stepped forward. She wore a flame-patterned cloak that split up to her shoulders and had a special emblem of the guildmaster on her chest.
It was the guildmaster of Burning Heart State…
She was also one of the only three Sun-moon-star Battle Pet Masters in Burning Heart State!!
Among the eight states, Burning Heart State, Jade Wind State, and Phoenix Sand State had so few Sun-moon-stars that together they couldn’t match the seven Sun-moon-star Battle Pet Masters of the Double Moon Sect alone.
Not to mention comparing it to the entire White Moon State.
But even so, in her last year graduating from the Flame King Academy twenty years ago, she snatched the championship title from Xingfu Academy and the Double Moon Sect, marking the only league championship for Burning Heart State in a hundred years.
"Xiao Hong, next, take good care of yourself…"
"All the Battle Pets in the Sun God Capital are followers of Samadhi. If a large-scale battle starts, you will definitely be their top target."
"Don’t rely too much on the Battle Pet Association headquarters; they won’t send anyone to help at a critical moment!"
"Every time you face an enemy, they always have various reasons to refuse assistance. The disaster in Phoenix Sand State is a warning. This time, you can only rely on your own strength. Don’t expect to wait for rescue, remember that."
After a few serious and grave pieces of advice.
The guildmaster of Burning Heart State turned into a beam of fire and shot into the sky, disappearing from Yin Hongsu’s sight in the blink of an eye.
Compared to protecting other residents and Yin Hongsu, as the strongest in Burning Heart State, she needed to hurry and find the mastermind, cutting off the source of this disaster.
As she watched the guildmaster leave, Yin Hongsu stood hesitantly in place. She felt a desire to follow, but also a wish to protect the remaining residents.
But soon, it was not her decision to make.
Without warning, the air filled with the strong presence of fire-type battle pets, appearing one after another, causing the alarm bells in the entire guild to ring frantically. Among them were wild battle pets of royal rank and ultimate stage.
In that moment, every battle pet master present changed their expressions.
It was one thing for ultimate stage pets, but why were royal rank pets pouring out like this? What was going on?
Which dangerous forbidden area has been breached, causing all the battle pets inside to flee?
To be honest, it really is…
Except for Liuliu Yue and Su Huan, no one knew that two moving fire-type divine domains were about to collide head-on. Most of the battle pets that had not escaped would turn to ashes in that instant.
This meant that gold coins would soon explode~~~~
However…
The two of them originally planned to gather on the battlefield.
But after that meteor fell, there was no sound at all.
An accident happened…
Deep underground, tens of kilometers down, two people were trapped in Fandel’s protective circle, stuck closely together; except for their heads and palms which could move, the rest of their bodies couldn’t move at all.
Su Huan’s unbelievable action completely stunned Liuliu Yue.
"Why did you teleport underground? Don’t you know that going too deep can get the Battle Pet’s model stuck? If it weren’t for Fandel’s protection, we would have been crushed by now…"
"No, it was you suddenly picking me up at the last moment that made my brain short-circuit…"
Su Huan quickly defended himself.
In short, to understand his feelings for that moment, you can imagine how other men feel when suddenly picked up like a princess by someone else.
Let’s put the issue of social embarrassment aside for now…
As for that function, it might become weak due to this psychological shadow.
Seeing Liuliu Yue not ready to argue back, he frowned and turned his head to look around at the pitch-black surroundings.
Oh no, it’s too deep…
Just as Liuliu Yue said, the terrain here not only trapped the battle pet’s summoning model, but in the harsh environment without flowing air, Fandel’s protective shield couldn’t hold up for long.
And the Double Moon Lord, that last teleportation completely drained its Resonance Value…
After only a short while of waiting, Liuliu Yue began to complain about being squeezed.
"It’s so cramped! Can you move a bit closer inside…"
"Big sister, I am already pressed against Fandel’s shield, how can I lean back? And why is it so cramped? Don’t you have any sense of space?"
Hearing this, Liuliu Yue’s face turned red.
Fandel’s protective shield is actually not narrow; it can easily fit two adult men, but for some reason, it cannot accommodate Liuliu Yue.
After all, men can be tall and broad, but they are not thick…
So, not wanting to mention her figure, Liuliu Yue quickly changed the subject.
"So, what do we do now? Your thunder-type team is not really suited for underground action, and Double Moon Lord won’t be able to teleport for a third time anytime soon. Are we just going to suffocate here?"
"Don’t worry, let me think…"
Su Huan furrowed his brow in deep thought.
The only things we can use in this awkward situation and the collision volume are the Thunder Sound Stone and the Wicked Killing from the achievements.
Wicked Killing had just used it on Double Moon Lord a few minutes ago; otherwise, the Resonance Value from the princess carry was not enough.
After all, it was Liuliu Yue who accepted the will of the gods, not Su Huan. Just summoning Double Moon Lord was already very difficult for him.
To activate Wicked Killing for charging, he would have to wait until 24 hours later.
Right now, the only thing that could be useful was the Thunder Sound Stone…
This little creature was about the size of a small pebble and was the only thing that could be summoned in this place.
But it seemed to be of no use at all…
"How about when we swap back in 24 hours, you just activate Double Moon Lord to take me out?"
"……"
"……"
"What is the difference between this and saying nothing?"
Hearing this, Liuliu Yue rolled her eyes in disbelief.
When they switched bodies back, Double Moon Lord’s skills could be used freely.
But this meant they would have to stay here for a full 24 hours…
At this point, it seems Fandel’s Resonance Value could not last that long.
At this moment, they were wrapped in a quiet silence.
Su Huan and Liuliu Yue stared at each other for a long time, their expressions becoming somewhat odd.
"Speaking of which, back in Dragon Palace, didn’t we squeeze through like this too?" Liuliu Yue brought it up first.
"……"
"……"
"Why aren’t you talking?"
"Didn’t you tell me not to mention Dragon Palace?" Su Huan was speechless in the face of Liuliu Yue’s question.
"No, if similar things are happening and I still don’t let you speak, wouldn’t that be like burying my head in the sand?"
"Aren’t you always like this…"
"What did you say?"
"It’s nothing, I want to ask, can I talk about Dragon Palace now, Master Saintess…?"
Su Huan felt a bit uneasy under Liuliu Yue’s gaze.
Su Huan quickly changed the subject.
Liuliu Yue nodded and said, "Say what you want, but only this once!"
After finally getting approval, Su Huan quickly shared all his frustrations about the Dragon Palace.
"At that time, weren’t we both trapped in the same ice coffin for 46 days? The space was even tighter than this, we couldn’t move at all! I said you were pressing on me so hard I couldn’t breathe, and you told me to be strong like a man. I mentioned you should lose some weight, and you got angry. Now you’ve experienced the pain of suffocation yourself, haven’t you?"
"……"
"……"
"Wait, how could you still remember that?"
Hearing this, Liuliu Yue’s eyes widened in anger.
She had finally given Su Huan a chance to talk about the Dragon Palace, but he started with something so unimportant.
Although it really was quite painful to be squeezed together like this for a few minutes.
Su Huan was truly amazing for being able to endure for 46 days while being pressed underneath.
"Actually, I didn’t really mind; I was just saying it casually."
"How about we switch places, and you press me for 46 days? I would definitely die on the first day, and you would just lie in the coffin with the body for 45 days!"
"Well, I wouldn’t change my sleeping position every ten minutes. You would be comfortable rolling on me, lying however you wanted and turning however you wished…"
"So every time you eat or drink, I’m the one who fed you by hand? If it weren’t for the supplies in my pet backpack, you would have starved long ago!!!"
"Yes, yes, yes, you stored so much food, but you didn’t save a single piece of clothing… Ouch!!!"
Halfway through speaking, Su Huan suddenly gasped.
Liuliu Yue actually gave him a hard pinch on his thigh.
I have seen many examples of domestic abuse.
The first time I saw domestic violence…
"This is the only thing I cannot mention, and since then, every time I go out, I will bring a thousand pieces of clothing!!"
Liuliu Yue said with a flushed face.
For some reason, she suddenly became very angry.
After all, since the separation from Dragon Palace, Liuliu Yue did not allow Su Huan to bring up Dragon Palace, which took up 99.9999% of the time.
Meanwhile, the Battle Pets that lived inside both of them, listening to their strange quarrel, were almost all confused.
The ultimate-stage Fandel, Double Moon Lord, and Princess Purple Feather, in their evolved forms, could fully understand human speech, not to mention the royal rank Qianyuan Moon Set.
The Flying Fire Spirit also followed the apostle path, and its intelligence growth was equally impressive.
As for the Thunder Sound Stone, even at such a young age, it could talk nonsense, so what could it not understand?
However, they could clearly understand every word these two people said, but together, they could not understand a single sentence.
"Dragon Palace, isn’t that the territory of the Ice Crown Princess? Master, you have been there too!?"
"Children, go play, and don’t worry about adult matters."
As soon as she said that, Liuliu Yue, whose face turned slightly red, blocked the perception of the Thunder Sound Stone.
It was like putting it directly into a small dark room.
After a moment of silence.
Suddenly, an idea came to Liuliu Yue’s mind.
"Su Huan, when I pinched you just now, did you feel the Resonance Value suddenly rise a lot?"
"Um, yes, it seems like it…"
"In other words, skin contact is much more intense than touching through clothes…"
Su Huan nodded and thoughtfully said.
But the next second, his expression immediately changed because Liuliu Yue’s hand was once again on his leg.
"What are you trying to do?"
"I’m wondering if I squeeze a bit more, will I be able to get out?"
"I warn you, this is your own body, so don’t do anything reckless!!"
"It’s fine, I can hold back~~"
Liuliu Yue looked resolute, as if she feared nothing.
But Su Huan could never agree to that.
How could his small, delicate body possibly endure this?
"If you dare pinch me, I’ll tickle you…"
"Oh? What good is it to tickle me? Even if my Resonance Value goes up, it won’t help~~"
"Yes, your Resonance Value might not help for now, but if I tickle your waist and we touch skin, my Resonance Value can go up even faster, right? You speak so sweetly, so just help me share the pain, okay?"
Upon hearing Su Huan’s threat, Liuliu Yue instantly backed down.
She turned her head to the side, no longer speaking, as if she was truly afraid of being tickled.
This was one of her few ultimate weaknesses…
Su Huan naturally knew this.
Seeing that Fandel’s Resonance Value was about to drop to nothing, Su Huan reluctantly touched Liuliu Yue’s hand lightly with the back of his hand.
Liuliu Yue did not respond; she quietly extended her palm, allowing Su Huan to hold her hand.
Her movements seemed very natural and skilled, as if they had happened countless times before.
In the silent stillness.
The Resonance Value of the two of them began to rise rapidly.
Since pinching and twisting to avoid awkwardness did not work, they could only hold hands. After all, when they were in Dragon Palace, they had done even more extravagant things to keep warm, so holding hands was nothing now.
Moreover, it was her own hand she was holding…
