Chapter 498: Chapter 497 Cold River Dragon Whale

Clink.

Chips of rock and dust continually fell from the massive hole in the ceiling, crashing to the ground and creating crisp sounds.

The partition walls of the hospital rooms on both sides of the corridor collapsed, and this wide space was left supported only by the walls around and a few load-bearing walls, resembling a long-abandoned warehouse.

The huge Rock Barrier blocked the Jade Horn Cloud Deer’s attack; Yaya turned around, looking somewhat worriedly at Lingling in Shao Zifeng’s arms.

In the dimly lit space, a warm ray of sunlight happened to fall on Lingling, making its smiling mouth seem even more splendid.

"Duke, Lingling..."

Its little hand slipped from Shao Zifeng’s face.

In the sunlight, tiny gray-black energy particles continued to evaporate from its petite body, revealing the twinkling starlight beneath.

The black veil on its small round hat quickly dissolved, and its full head of silvery white hair shed its artificial glamour in the falling light, returning to its original color, the tips of the hair gradually resembling the links to the milky way.

The dancing starlight condensed into a delicate crown atop its head, shimmering gloriously in the sunlight.

Just in a blink of an eye, the loli wearing a gothic-style pom-pom dress transformed into a noble young lady in a long gown reaching the ground, the complex patterns on it adorning the dazzling starlight even more.

Under Shao Zifeng’s gaze, Lingling’s long eyelashes quivered slightly as it opened its pale green eyes filled with starlight.

It gazed softly at Shao Zifeng and extended a small hand, "Duke, Lingling really likes you~"

Shao Zifeng’s mouth twitched, making the atmosphere suddenly become a bit awkward.

Then Lingling blinked, as if suddenly realizing something, its eyes revealing disbelief, embarrassment, and a shy expression.

"Damn it, damn it, why would I, a subordinate, say something so disrespectful to the Duke!"

Lingling fumbled around to get out from Shao Zifeng’s arms, reached out to grab the magnificent Starlight Scepter, and tapped it in the air. A phantom-like Space Rift slowly opened, and it swiftly disappeared into it.

Shao Zifeng scratched his head, watching the spot where it had vanished with a bit of amusement.

Unexpectedly, this little one could still feel shy.

Yaya seemed a bit puzzled, and it almost tried to mimic Shao Zifeng’s action by scratching its head.

But looking at its little paws that couldn’t even reach its mouth.

(ー`´ー)

Boom!

Just at that moment, the Rock Barrier block in front of them began to crumble.

Yaya stepped forward to block the flying rocks, looking somewhat nervously at the scarlet eyes behind the dust.

Sunlight shone on the dust, the tens of Jade Horn Cloud Deer vaguely visible.

Seeing them, Shao Zifeng’s smile gradually faded.

Although he knew these Jade Horn Cloud Deer were officially managed public deer, he was upset to see Lingling being bullied.

Neither did the Jade Horn Cloud Deer make any abrupt moves, anxiously snorting.

In the peripheral vision, a blue light spun, and a dark red framed screen slowly unfolded.

[Description]: Found in the forests of the eastern plains of Daxia, the Sika Deer population is gentle and timid. After evolution, both males and females have jade-like antlers, with males sporting six-pronged antlers and females four-pronged. Due to their healing talents, they were chosen by the Daxia Jade Deer Regiment as standard-bearers. After being infected by the third-generation virus, their personalities underwent a drastic change, becoming highly aggressive and purposive, and the virus infection, once full-blown, is irreversible.

Irreversible.

Shao Zifeng laughed, relieved that it was irreversible.

But now...

Shao Zifeng’s hair quivered slightly, his ice-blue pupils rapidly dilated to fill his entire eye socket, and gossamer-like fins attached to his ears.

"Cold River Dragon Whale, Extreme Cold Ice Domain."

"Woo~"

Feeling the guidance of a similar ice element, the spacious building space echoed with the ethereal whale songs.

Tiny ice crystals sprinkled from the hole above, reflecting colorful halos in the sunlight.

In the halo, a graceful figure emerged from the hole, spiraling out; its body wrapped in soft gossamer, which fluttered as it moved, as if dancing.

The floating gossamer revealed a crystal-clear ice horn, and two eyes pure as gemstones peeked out from behind the gossamer.

"Yo~"

The surrounding temperature kept dropping. The Jade Horn Cloud Deer watched the graceful figure in mid-air, restlessly stamping its hooves.

The gossamer’s flutters grew larger and the surrounding air seemed to freeze in the chill, exquisite Ice Flowers spreading across the decayed ground and walls. The Jade Horn Cloud Deer were terrified to find they couldn’t move.

Just as they struggled to break free, the continuously rotating gossamer in mid-air suddenly unfolded, revealing a beautiful creature.

Its white body was slender and elongated, and its dorsal, pectoral, ventral, and tail fins resembled beautiful wings. Although its gaze was somewhat vacant and indifferent, the crystal-clear eyes, as if containing stars, seemed infinitely captivating—just one glance and you couldn’t look away.

This was also Shao Zifeng’s first glimpse of its complete form after evolving.

Thinner.

Longer.

Almost unrecognizable as a whale.

Hisss.

It even had such long eyelashes, the whale was becoming rather refined.

The Cold River Dragon Whale’s abdomen bulged slightly, the ice crystals on its body shone even more.

"Woo~"

The ethereal song resounded again, only this time it carried the chill of deep winter.

The blizzard howled, and in an instant, the ground and walls were covered in white frost, and the Jade Horn Cloud Deer were turned directly into ice sculptures.

Zzzzz—

Sharp conical icicles erupted from the ground, transforming the entire building instantly into an Antarctic snowfield.

After a moment, the snowstorm abated.

The sunlight streaming through the windows shone upon the crystalline icicles, and the variously shaped ice deer statues were bathed in a colorful glow.

Yaya opened its mouth wide, enviously watching the dancing figure in mid-air.

"Woo~"

The Cold River Dragon Whale’s gossamer fins closed around once more, wrapping its body again in layers upon layers like a voluminous dress, hiding its entire body beneath the gossamer, joyfully spinning and floating in the sunlight. The fluttering gossamer, almost like slow-motion, appeared extremely graceful.

"Woo~"

After flying around a bit, the Cold River Dragon Whale looked around blankly for Shao Zifeng, cheered, and then flew towards him.

Shao Zifeng opened his arms and embraced its large head, pressing his forehead against its cool forehead.

He whispered softly, "Welcome back, Cold River Dragon Whale."

"Woo~"

The Cold River Dragon Whale’s long blue eyelashes trembled, happily singing its whale song.
