Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3302 - Suishen Yue's Eyes lit Up

Suishen Yao’s red eyes were filled with glistening tears. Tianming was rather moved by her pitiful look.

"What is it?" Tianming asked, biting his lip.

"I...." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Suishen Yao clenched her fists, nails piercing her flesh. She was still fighting to control her emotions. Tianming gently massaged her shoulders and got her to relax before she finally looked at him and continued, "Can you help me again?"

"Yes!" Not mincing his words, Tianming gave her a direct reply.

When she heard his answer, Suishen Yao's tears started flowing again, but she held on. "I still have about ten days left. Let's go back to the Jiguang Sea. Help me cultivate. I can't move to the next level, but I want to see if I can increase my simulacrum. I still have a chance if I succeed!"

She hadn’t given up yet!

Wiping her tears in embarrassment, she suddenly laughed, "Sorry, I've never cried before. I didn’t know what it feels like to cry. I don’t look ugly, do I?" Although she was laughing, her eyes were red and brimming with tears. Her expression only made others feel ache for her.

"Let me put it this way, you look better when you cry." Tianming grinned.

"Screw you!" Suishen Yao pinched him.

Their brief exchange was much more useful than Eminent Jiguang’s consolation. When she saw Suishen Yao laugh and cry at the same time, she looked at Tianming with amazement and became more determined about an idea she had.

"In that case, let’s not waste time," Tianming said. Compared to an entire year, ten days was nothing. However, he wasn’t one to easily give up. If Suishen Yao wouldn’t give up at her most desperate time, how could he not do everything in his power to help her?

"Let's go!" Suishen Yao pulled Tianming through the crowd, ignoring the watchful gazes aimed at them. The young man and women quickly headed toward Suishen Cave. The scene astonished everyone, including Eminent Jiguang, Suishen Zhao, and Suishen Shuang.

"What just happened?" asked Major Pathkeeper Suishen Yuan.

"How the hell would I know? I'm not an adult yet," Suishen Zhao said.

Amidst the confusion, Eminent Jiguang left, her long dress fluttering in the wind.

"How nice."

"It's just a pity...."

"I can't figure out what House Suishen’s thinking. What if Pathkeeper Li rises in the future and resents the elders for this?"

"Or perhaps they don’t care for a super genius like him? Are they under pressure from the other two houses?"

No one could figure it out. Each person had different views on the matter.

In House Yumo, it was a glorious moment for Yumo Xue, who had successfully defended his position on the Fortuna Ranking. Members of the house surrounded him and began flattering him. Meanwhile, the youths of House Qitian despondently left.

The young people of House Suishen were divided into several groups. Despite Suishen Yao’s failure, she was still as bold as ever. As a woman who was about to get married, she was actually affectionate with another man. Many of House Suishen’s elders looked unhappy.

Suishen Yue, who had originally been overjoyed to see Suishen Yao defeated, clenched his fists, his joints making loud popping sounds. His face was gloomy and the voices of discussion around him made him even more unhappy.

"Yue'er, relax."

The woman in golden robes beside him gently patted his shoulder. "Why’re you angry? It's not the first time you’ve been treated as the bad guy, nor is it the first time they’ve behaved so wantonly in front of you. Yaoyao's defeat means the result is certain. The beauty will be yours. The ones who should be crying are Li Tianming and Suishen Yao. You should be smiling."

"But I'm still angry, Mother," Suishen Yue said, gritting his teeth.

"What's to be angry about? Do you love Suishen Yao?" asked the woman.

Suishen Yue sneered, "What's there to love about a naughty and stubborn girl like her? The only things that can tempt me are strength and status!"

"If you don't love her then she’s just a tool. It's enough to have it in hand. Why should you care about what she thinks? The rumors in Myriadpath Valley are meaningless. They talk about you now because you aren’t strong enough. If you had Eminent Ranxing’s status, would they dare to open their mouths?"

"Yes, as long as I do this, one day...." Suishen Yue finally relaxed his frown.

"You fool." The woman was satisfied. Staring in the direction of Tianming and Suishen Yao, she said, "You’re confused. In just a few days, you’ll be intimate with her. Li Tianming will be so mad when he sees you get married. Go back and prepare yourself. It'll happen soon. You should contemplate the process of absorbing Suishen Blood.”

Suishen Yue’s eyes lit up upon hearing the words Suishen Blood.

***

In the soulblend formation in Jiguang Sea, Tianming and Suishen Yao stood opposite each other.

Upon returning, they wasted no time and immediately entered the soulblend formation. At the moment, Suishen Yao’s eyes were still red. Though she pretended to be tough, she still looked rather pitiful.

"Are you ready?" asked Eminent Jiguang.

The two exchanged a look and nodded.

"Let’s begin!"

This time there was no struggle. As Eminent Jiguang compressed the formation, the two closed their eyes. Their bodies and totems drew closer to each other, then quickly merged and intertwined. The decapath era swordgods and flaregod starsouls surrounded the two, radiating pure light.

Naturally, the fusion of their totems commenced without any obstructions. The young man and woman were a beautiful sight to behold.

"It's great to be young," Eminent Jiguang sighed, blankly staring at them.

"How can you unlock a new simulacrum in just ten days? Your eightfold simulacrum is the limit. Your father and I have only reached ninefold simulacrum...." Eminent Jiguang understood better that their final struggle was worth praising but would yield no results. She looked at them, feeling depressed and tormented. As the wedding date grew closer, she was also trying to come up with other ways to help Suishen Yao.

"They’re hugging more naturally this time...." She studied their expressions and body language, lost in thought.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, nine days had gone by. Tomorrow was the day of the wedding.

"What?"

Eminent Jiguang was about to end their cultivation when she was shocked by what was happening in the soulblend formation.
