Chapter 318 318: Pea-sized brain?
Returning from his previous unique experience, Rahu's gaze dropped onto a unique existence. A sigh of relief escaped his mouth when he saw the figure of Amelia.
Currently, she was unconscious and sleeping; her appearance had undergone massive changes. First, of course, was her aura. It was no longer human… but something else entirely.
Seeing that she still had her eyes closed, Rahu nodded and turned around.
"It seems, ripping that blood had taken a toll on her body. Rest for a bit."
Saying those words, he vanished.
…
In the faraway mountains.
"Rawrrr!! How dare you run away from me, you dog!!"
A large wolf with glowing fur chased a small rabbit, which wasn't even half its size. The wolf had fur that was half-black and half-white, which, from a distance, looked mysterious and majestic.
The rabbit shivered when it felt the wolf's hungry gaze. It tried to run, but a massive paw suddenly pressed on its back, squashing it lightly against the ground.
"Hehe~ Where do you think you are going?" Karma smirked, a drop of drool dripping down her mouth as she licked her lips.
Just as she was about to close her teeth on that rabbit… she bit her paw!
"Oww!!"
Karma squeaked lightly as she snapped her head. Looking down, she saw that the rabbit had vanished.
"How low, you stupid mutt. People would think I'm not giving you food back at home."
A playful voice echoed. Looking behind, she saw a tall man standing there with a faint smirk. In his hands was the same rabbit. It rubbed its head lightly against his hand… and smirked at the shocked wolf.
"Master!!"
She, of course, didn't pay any attention to the rabbit and rushed towards Rahu. Dropping the rabbit, he held Karma in his arms. She had deliberately shortened her height to fit perfectly in his arms.
"What were you doing?"
He couldn't help but ask curiously. Although Karma did eat meat, she wasn't the type to be so serious about obtaining it; she could just request the maids (which were all orders).
Hearing his words, Karma huffed. "Master, that rabbit had one of the sweetest fruits I have tasted! But that bastard is way too stingy! He only gives me two fruits per day! And if I threaten it, it… simply does not care because it's the only one that knows the location of the fruit."
Karma jumped into his arms and pouted, her tail swaying around.
Rahu chuckled when he heard her words, waving his hand as a dozen fruits materialized.
"T-This! These are the same fruits Karma was searching for!"
Karma jumped in excitement when she saw those fruits. Her paws stretched, but froze mid-air. Her excited gaze slowly turned suspicious as she looked at Rahu.
"Why is the master suddenly being so generous?"
Of course, she didn't dare say this out loud, but her eyes were more than enough for Rahu to understand.
His brow twitched when he saw this. "Stupid mutt, it seems you really don't want to eat those fruits. I guess I should return those to that rabbit."
The moment he spoke those words, Karma's expression twisted in horror!
"NOO!!!"
She hurriedly leapt off his arms and, one by one, grabbed the fruits.
Nom Nom!
As if afraid that he would change his mind, Karma hurriedly munched on those fruits with a blissful expression on her face.
Rahu shook his head when he saw her behavior. "Alright, enough. Listen here."
After a few seconds, Rahu opened his mouth, gaining her full attention.
"Do you want to transform into your human form?"
He asked. It was high time she leveled up from a mere beast. Because, honestly, even her powers were largely restricted due to her being stuck in the Soul Tempering Realm.
Hearing this question, Karma turned silent for a moment. Looking into his eyes, a rare trace of seriousness passed through her gaze.
"Master… will I be useful to you?"
Hearing her words, Rahu was surprised for a moment. But thinking about it… these past few years, his speed of gaining strength had entered the realms of the divine. In just a few years, he had achieved feats so great that even the gods weren't worth his fart.
Naturally, he wasn't the only one affected by this. His harem and his pet… Karma.
After the Inheritance Realm, she hadn't really done any work for him. Nothing.
That had stung her… deeply. But she was powerless to do anything. After Rahu had adopted her, he had become her everything, her anchor, her master and her… world. She could no longer imagine a world without his existence or without his teasing.
Despite being a beast, her intelligence was extremely high. It was so high that she could even resonate with his emotions.
"What do you think?"
Instead of answering, he asked a question in return.
"I… I don't know," Karma stuttered, her ears falling low.
"You stupid mutt, despite staying so long with me, you still haven't learned a thing, have you?"
Rahu chuckled. Karma blinked. But before she could speak, his large hand landed on her head. She had expected he would slap or hit her, but to her shock, for the first time in her life… Rahu patted her head.
"…Huh?"
For a moment, her entire mind blanked out as an overwhelming sense of relief and pleasure washed over her being.
"Your pea-sized brain sure is thinking a lot these days, huh?"
Picking her up, he placed her in his arms. Still brushing her fur gently, Karma genuinely felt like melting in his arms.
"Say, do you want to transform into a human?"
…
Finally, the day of the tournament arrived!
The entire Immortal Jade Empire buzzed as countless cultivators made their way to the royal capital.
"Hey! What do you think the tournament will be!?"
A young girl asked her companion, her voice filled with curiosity.
"Bahh! Who cares about some stupid tournament! I want to see my Emperor!!"
The other woman replied; there were literally stars shining in her eyes.
Similar conversations took place almost everywhere. There was a flood of cultivators who had come to participate in the tournament.
The Immortal Jade Empire buzzed with activity as statues of Rahu were erected everywhere.
