Are you playing dirty behind my back?

Then let the result of getting nothing pay the price.

Karon Karman and Xiao Linyuan were furious, but what good did their anger do?

Besides impotent rage, they were utterly helpless against Mingxi’s monstrous talent.

“What I did had no effect on you, don’t go too far!”

“And what if I do?”

Mingxi sneered. It wasn’t that they showed mercy; it was that they failed to achieve anything.

Should she thank them for being useless?

Karon Karman gritted his teeth, glaring hatefully at the frosty girl.

“Good! Good! Good!”

After three “goods,” Karon Karman’s expression gradually calmed, but his eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent.

“I admit defeat!”

Without giving Mingxi a chance to respond, he recalled his pet and turned to leave.

Rather than continue to be humiliated here, it was better to give up directly.

“He’s decisive enough.”

Mingxi mused, her evaluation of Karon Karman rising by two points.

After all, given his status and position, being able to yield and adapt was not an easy feat.

Mingxi had even thought he would directly disregard everything and attack her.

“This kind of enemy is troublesome.”

However, Mingxi wasn’t worried about the other party’s retaliation. How to put it?

Many lice make one not itch; many debts make one not worry.

She didn’t care.

Since Karon Karman had voluntarily withdrawn, Mingxi turned her attention to Xiao Linyuan.

Compared to Karon Karman, who provoked her for no reason, this Xiao Linyuan...

“...Damn it!”

Being entertained by Mingxi’s pets in turns, Xiao Linyuan’s gains were only slightly better than Karon Karman’s.

But now, he and his pets were surrounded by Mingxi alone!

The situation would not only not improve but would further deteriorate.

And the remaining time for the Yuanjing Holy Lotus was running out!

“Mingxi, if you are willing to let me and my pets focus on absorbing the Holy Lotus, I can give you a Fiery Gold Essence.”

Mingxi didn’t even lift an eyelid.

Meanwhile, a certain Beast Tamer nearby, who heard Xiao Linyuan’s words, silently rolled their eyes.

If this person knew how many good things Mingxi had fed her pets during their evolution, he wouldn’t have brought out a Fiery Gold Essence to make a fool of himself.

Did he really think this trash could appease Mingxi?

Who was he humiliating!

Actually, it wasn’t that Xiao Linyuan was stingy.

Fiery Gold Essence was indeed a very rare metal ore, with a strong purifying effect on Fire-type and Steel-type Transcendent creatures.

But that was all it was. While Mingxi didn’t have hundreds of pieces, she had thousands of them.

So, ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ it was indeed an insult.

Thus, Mingxi was unmoved.

Thus, Mingxi continued to snatch without hesitation.

“Enough! I said enough!”

“Damn it! I’ll add an Yin Moonstone! No, two!”

“What do you want to let us go?!”

“We’re all from Dragonflower Country, do you really have to be so vengeful?”

“Mingxi, I’m going to fight you to the death!”

Xiao Linyuan’s handsome, flowing hair was messed up from him grabbing it, looking completely deranged.

Mingxi let him rage, calmly continuing to absorb the Holy Lotus, leaving no scraps for Xiao Linyuan and his pets.

“It’s dissipating, the Holy Lotus is dissipating!”

The Yuanjing Holy Lotus had been in bloom for over half an hour. Although much of it still remained between heaven and earth, it couldn’t last forever.

What was meant to dissipate would eventually dissipate.

“Abyssal Power.”

After the last Holy Lotus dissipated, Golden Yuanbao’s eight members and Jiang Jiang returned to Mingxi’s side. Some hugged, some kissed, and some climbed onto her head.

Even though Bright Crystal was in a giant state during its evolution, it was still a tiny little guy at this moment.

This indicated that its characteristic 【Lilekantingtian】 had improved in quality, otherwise, it would never have appeared in its characteristic state during evolution.

“Congratulations, Ming Shen.”

“Congratulations.”

“Three pets evolving to the Saint-level simultaneously, what a great event! We must celebrate properly. How about we all have a meal together?”

“Yes, yes, Mingxi, little friend, you’ve cultivated your pets so well. I’ve long wanted to learn from you. I’m an SVIP at Hualing Residence and can reserve a private room. Would you be willing to grace us with your presence, little friend Mingxi?”

Many people came over to congratulate Mingxi, try to win her over, and invite her for meals. Many were sincere, and quite a few were insincere.

But Mingxi didn’t care.

She didn’t need star coins, nor could she make the whole world like her.

“Everyone, everyone, our Xiao Xi has been tired for a day and a night, and besides, she has a competition this afternoon. No matter what, we can’t let her run around anymore today.”

Facing those who invited her for meals or sought friendship, Shen Linhua blocked them for her.

It wasn’t an excuse; Mingxi genuinely didn’t have time for socializing right now.

She didn’t like it either.

Only then did these people remember that Mingxi was still a Starsea Cup contestant and had a competition in the afternoon. It was indeed inappropriate to force her to stay.

Mingxi was able to leave smoothly.

Saint Shield City finally quieted down, but many people inside and outside the city were discussing Mingxi’s three pets evolving in sync, the phenomenon comparable to a Venerable-level, and the appearance of a large number of Yuanjing Holy Lotus after their evolution.

Mingxi’s reputation grew even louder.

In the afternoon.

Stadium.

Noisy and bustling, the stands were already packed with people early on.

“Hey, big brother, who are you here to see?”

“Ming Shen, of course! And you?”

“What a coincidence, me too! But I’m a Meng Shen fan.”

Mingxi’s solo fans were divided into two categories: the combat-oriented Ming Shen fans, who called themselves Ming Cult disciples, and the appearance-oriented Meng Shen fans, who called themselves Meng Faction disciples.

“I’m different from both of you. I’m a ‘Cornucopia’ fan.”

“Cornucopia” was the general term for Mingxi’s pet fans, which could be further subdivided based on the names of Golden Yuanbao’s eight members: Gold, Silver, Moonstone, Jadeite, Ruby, Pearl, White Jade, and Amethyst.

Additionally, there were fan names for various combinations and CP pairings of Mingxi and her eight pets.

“Brother, you can tell at a glance that you’re not from our Dragonflower Country. You’re also a ‘Cornucopia’ fan?”

Although there were no rules stipulating that citizens of different countries could only sit in specific areas, because most tickets were sold to the world after being divided by region, it was generally easy to distinguish between planets and nationalities in the audience stands. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

So, a blond, blue-eyed foreigner among a group of yellow-skinned people definitely stood out.

Edward was just such an obvious presence.

“I’m from Xiao Li Country,” Edward replied very frankly, not feeling at all out of place as a foreigner sitting in the Dragonflower Country section.

His neighbor, a man, was curious: “Are you of Li descent?”

“Nonono, I’m a local of Saint Shield City. The reason I’m sitting here is because I specifically bypassed the firewall and bought tickets from your network. I just wanted to be with my family and cheer for Ming Shen and the Treasures!”

Undoubtedly a true fan.

Everyone’s smiles immediately became much more sincere.

Having the same hobbies indeed quickly brought them closer.
