The rise of the pervert primordial

Having complete and utterly destroyed her enemies, the ligress girl played with a few objects encased in ice, that rested on her right hand, those were the rings of the enemies she killed, were the ones that she didn’t destroy by accident.

‘The ones from the early-stage pieces of trash were destroyed on the spot, but I did manage to obtain the other three, this should be enough to pay back and also have some personal funds…’, thought Mira as she happily nodded to herself.

Though the treasury of the Twin Sword Valley, is always open for the girls to take whatever they might need, or they can even ask Aster to get what they want and he’ll accommodate to their necessities to the best of his capacities.

The ligress girl is too prideful to be a “freeloader”, which is another way to say that she is too embarrassed to ask Aster for resources and other stuff rom this mortal realm to learn, unlike Eris and Mylene who actively asked for materials needed for their respective professions.

So, she instead decided to raise some funds for her persona use, but then she realized something, she has no other skills besides her insanely high battle prowess, but she didn’t know anything about this place where she ended, so working as a mercenary was out of the question.

After all she might be strong enough to protect herself but that is within the Transcending realms, she would be in trouble if Heavenly realm cultivators went after her, back at her native place she had the protection of her family but here she was alone, such was the importance of connections.

Of course, this point of view of hers was before that date with Aster, after that she started considering herself as a part of the team, in fact she was seriously evaluating Aria to become her contractor.

And said contractor candidate, told her to not be shy and take what she needed from the treasury, so the prideful ligress girl accepted to have some money “lent” to her, stating that she will repay it as soon as possible, and this mission was the perfect opportunity for that.

After all, though the ligress girl is also a princess, she is far from being a sheltered flower, though she hadn’t told others about the circumstances that led her to be captured by the Yin Azure Palace, it’s obvious that she had to fend by herself at some point, so looting enemies is not an alien concept for her.

“Mm?”, Mira suddenly felt a familiar gaze on her, she looked upwards in a very specific direction, only to catch a glimpse of Aster who had an amused expression on his face.

‘What is that pervert scheming now…’, Mira’s pupils contracted like needles as a realization hit her like a bolt out of the blue, she was feeling way more relaxed than before.

Just think about it, she was playing with some random “low ranked” treasures and smiling while thinking of the gains she just earned, that’s way too different than her usual grumpy attitude.

And it was then when she realized that after beating the hell out of those guys, all the pent-up wildness that was weighting in her mind was completely released.

‘So, did our cute grumpy cat enjoy the “Scratching Posts” I prepared for her?’, jokingly asked Aster in a voice that only Mira could hear.

“Grrrr!”, a soft growl from the ligress girl was the answer he got.

‘So, you did know that this was going to happen you perverted dragon!’, she exclaimed to which Aster shook his head in response.

‘Honestly no, I thought that the guy with the black mist attribute was the perfect outlet… but I didn’t expect for him to actually try and capture you, sorry about that’, he said with an apologetic voice.

Aster only wanted Mira to vent her anger on that poor bastard, since he was a yin energy dual cultivator, something quite similar to the guys that captured her, however he didn’t expect that guy to actually aim to capture the ligress girl.

Naturally he wasn’t worried about it happening, since there was absolutely no way Mira would lose to enemies of that level, but he knew that it had hit a sore sport for the ligress girl and that wasn’t part of the plan.

Mira was momentarily taken aback; she thought that she would enjoy to see a situation in which the monstrous dragon youth will commit a mistake, but the genuine apologetic tone mixed with anger made her unable to enjoy the moment.

‘So that was the threatening aura I felt when I lost it for a moment earlier… he was angry when he saw me inside the cage’, thought the ligress girl.

When she was trapped in the cage, her instincts ran wild for a second, but she came out of it as soon as it happened, because she felt an equally murderous aura coming from not too far, which helped her to recover her clarity, turns out that was Aster.

‘Ahhh, damn it, fine it was really helpful, happy?’, she exclaimed while looking away, forgetting about the fact that she was called a “grumpy cat” by Aster earlier, making the latter softly chuckle at her.

‘Speaking of being helpful, apparently that ice wall which you used to protect me got quite the attention from those little girls, and I heard them mention that they will ask at the store if there are “Ice Shield” talismans with your ice available, so I suggest you to become friendlier with Eris and Mylene’, he said.

Mira’s eyes glowed for a second, that’s something that didn’t cross her mind, her solid ice is perfect for defensive one time use talismans, and if there is something she has in excess that is spirit energy, specially now that she received the medicine needed to prevent any side effects for when the divine energy in her body completely disappeared.

‘I think the things in those rings will be more than enough to buy the materials needed for the talismans, well as long as you are willing to lend your ears to a certain chatterbox of a Runic Oak to obtain its bark’, jokingly added Aster which made Mira pout.

‘Humph, I get is, I’ll try to get along with those three… a bit more, okay’, she mumbled, referring to Eris, Mylene and surprisingly Nim as well.

Mira was even more reserved than Lilia who had the other mothers as her friends, she basically only directly hanged out with Kana and lately Aria with Aria, but she had something in common with Eris, Mylene and Nim and that is the fact that they all came from a Divine Firmament.

Back when dragon Lilia chased her through the whole forest, Mira was technically accompanying Kana, but she seemed interested in talking with Eris and Mylene, so Aster decided to give her an opportunity to get closer with those two.

As for Nim, the ligress girl had some bad blood with the Runic Oak for its predecessor contributing to her imprisonment, but the truth is that Nim which was born after the death of said predecessor, only kept the yin corrupted spirit beasts away from Mira, because the secret realm will crumble apart the moment she was released from the array, in other words they had no real reason to fight each other.

Well, besides the fact that the chatterbox Runic Oak, exasperated the ligress girl with its continuous questions.

‘Those damn eyes are really dangerous…’, thought the Ligress girl knowing that Aster had seen through her, but then she couldn’t help but softly giggle to herself as she added.

‘But I guess that if someone had to have them, he would be the best possible choice, I can’t imagine anyone else using such a crazy ability like that one, to get someone to hang out with others~’, she amusedly thought, unaware of the fact that some of her cute giggles didn’t stay in her mind, but were manifested on the outside.

‘Still the natives of this mortal realm have some interesting techniques, it never crossed my mind testing what would happen if I injected spirit energy into my sea of knowledge back then, perhaps I can surprise him this way!’, excitedly thought the ligress girl who was lost in her thoughts.

At least until she felt the amusement in Aster’s gaze increase, which caused the ligress girl’s face to turn red as an apple.

‘G-Go tease others you pervert dragon bastard!’, she yelled out of embarrassment before she turned into a white-blue flash that shot itself towards the observing area, landing near Kana in the form of an ice sphere whose insides couldn’t be seen.

‘For being such a fierce ligress, she sure is shy, how cute’, thought Aster to then change his attention to the other person fighting in this area, naturally Mira didn’t abandon her companion, she left because the other fight which started practically at the same time as hers was about to end as well, so there was no need for her to stay here any longer, since her “companion” was perfectly safe.

Just like Aster said back at their date, despite her cold and solid exterior, the ligress girl has quite the soft and warm heart, even if she acts as if that wasn’t the case.

…

To understand why Mira didn’t even glance in Felicia’s battlefield direction and casually left on a “whim” after being nearly teased to death by Aster without waiting for her companion to return with her, we must return in time a few minutes ago to the moment when Mira turned around to demand her chasers to hurry up and to call them trash.

There is a reason as to why Aster encouraged the ligress girl to team up with Felicia and that’s because Eric and Tiana’s playful mother, is quite an easygoing person while still being capable of turning serious when the situation demands it, meaning that she can easily get along with both girls that have a serious or relaxed personalities.

Which is a part of the reason as to why even the reserved dragon mother Lilia, was in friendly terms with her.

“You won’t want to be near her when their fight starts, so let’s change our location a bit”, casually said Felicia feeling the dangerous aura coming from the ligress girl which had yet to vent up her pent-up wildness on someone, to then fly into the distance without sparing another gaze to her enemies.

“Should we…”, one of the two peak Sea of Knowledge realm cultivators in the group of elders from the Marsh Domain, a middle age male one to be more accurate, turned to see a younger looking guy while looking at the ligress girl from the corner of his eyes.

The meaning was clear, he was asking whether they should join the elders from the Pleasure Palace to deal with the white-haired woman, instead of following the one that they were supposed to fight.

The reason for that is simple, unlike Mira, Felicia is “only” a Mortal Transcending realm cultivator, a middle stage one at that, so the male peak Sea of Knowledge elder didn’t think that the five of them were needed to deal with her.

Surprisingly the one to whom he was asking permission wasn’t the other peak Sea of Knowledge realm elder, since the other one was a woman that appeared to be in her late twenties, no, it was actually the middle stage Sea of Knowledge one.

“No, that gray haired woman seems to be the mother of one of the lovers of that bastard, while the white-haired one doesn’t seem too close to him, so he’ll for sure suffer more due to the death of the former”, said the middle stage Sea of Knowledge elder with a murderous expression on his face to then calm down as he added.

“It won’t be too late to come back and help those guys once we finish with our side anyway”.

‘It will be if you guys don’t hurry up~’, said Felicia in a voice that only those five could hear, making the middle stage Sea of Knowledge elder snort.

“Damn soul cultivator… whatever, it doesn’t matter if she hears us, the result will be the same”, he said as he flew towards where Felicia had stopped after distancing herself from Mira’s battlefield, followed by the other four elders.

With they all being Sea of Knowledge realm cultivators, it didn’t take long before they were floating a few kilometers away from Felicia who casually waited for them with the playful expression on her face that she usually has.

“Why the smile bitch, don’t get overconfident since you have an unusually high secondary path realm, you are but a mere middle stage Mortal Transcending realm nobody!”, yelled one of the early-stage Sea of Knowledge realm elders.

Like the group that went after the Ligress girl, this one was conformed of five elders, two peak ones out of which one was a man and the other one the sole woman of the group, a middle stage one and two early-stage ones.

“Heh, those are some rather shameless words, after all, while those three seem to have a decent foundation, but you two are quite trash that was at the Mortal Transcending realm until not too long ago but advanced with resources~”, said Felicia as she gazed at the two early-stage elders.

“What did you…”, just as the other elder was about to answer to Felicia’s provocation, the middle stage elder interrupted him.

“Enough, all of you, in formation now!”, authoritatively said the middle stage elder, which not only made the two early-stage elders stop their discussion with Felicia on the spot, but also resulted in them directly manifesting their seas of knowledge.

“Yellow Marsh Sea!”, the two early-stage elders exploded in dark yellow light as two seas of knowledge of around 150 meters of size each, manifested with them as the center, they overlapped side to side to amount for a total of 300 meters, they were at the left side of the middle stage elder who apparently was the leader of the group, despite not having the highest realm.

“Red Marsh Sea!”, the peak Sea of Knowledge elder on the other hand produced a dark red sea of knowledge of around 200 meters of size, he was at the right side of the middle stage elder.

“Orange Marsh Sea!”, last but not least, the middle stage elder released his sea of knowledge which had a dark orange color and a size of 500 meters, just like it happened for the ligress girl, the enemies pressed their seas of knowledge against each other without causing any interference, since the manuals and techniques they trained in, belonged to the same force.

However, unlike those guys from the Pleasure Palace, it was obvious that they had been working together for quite some time, speaking of which, the last elder, which was the sole female one and the other peak stage one at the same time, didn’t release a sea of knowledge.

For a good reason, like Felicia, she is a main body path cultivator, the difference between them being that she is an energy secondary path one, she simply floated as close as possible to the middle stage elder, acting as his guard or something along the lines of it.

As a sign of the fact that they are used to work together, two early and the male peak stage elders, directly followed with another technique without the need for the middle stage elder to give the instruction.

“Expansion!”, and similar to what the elders on Mira’s side were doing, they injected spirit energy into their seas of knowledge, increasing their size, they went from being two 150 meters yellow seas and one 200 meters sea, to two 1.15 kilometer ones and one 1.2 kilometer one, but that wasn’t the end of it.

“Converge”, with a single word from the middle stage elder whose sea hadn’t expanded yet, the other three seas of knowledge… combined, or more accurately they were englobed by the orange sea, before they also turned orange.

The result was a single orange sea that amounted to a total of 4 kilometers, in case you wonder why even though the energy constitution mother, in other words Felicia, affirmed that the middle stage and the two peak stage elders had solid foundations, the male peak stage elder only had a 200 meters sized sea of knowledge, the reason is simple.

Unlike the water-oriented seas of knowledge from the elders of the Pleasure Palace, the ones from the elders of the Marsh Domain were instead poison related and just as the name of their sect stated, they produced something more akin to a “marsh” than to a sea.

And for that, they compressed their seas of knowledge to have a lower fluidity, resulting in these relatively small sizes when compared with those guys, if they didn’t do so, the size of their seas would probably double.

It’s worth mentioning that such isn’t the case for the middle stage elder, his sea was of the same size as the black mist attributed elder from the Pleasure Palace, reaching 500 meters of size, but his sea was watery and fluid, before it mixed with the ones from those three at least.

“Poisonous Spearhead Formation”, said the middle stage elder, an order that all the members of the group understood without the need of further explanation, the three main energy path elders started advancing at the same time as their leader, making their combined sea to move frontwards.

The body path female elder on the other hand, remained silent at the right side of the leading elder.

“I knew you guys weren’t the usual riffraff from those sects of yours that the others had dealt with, judging by your energy firm you have something to do with the guy that used that centipede to survive a stab from Aster’s sword, I guess that explains why you didn’t even bother to tell those dual cultivators to be careful of Mira’s close combat abilities”, casually said Felicia without moving from her spot, despite the massive poisonous orange sea that was coming at her.

“Boooom!”, the leading elder gritted his teeth as he exploded in spirit energy, the gray-haired woman was right, he volunteered to come deal with the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley, because of that guy who used a centipede to take the stab from Aster’s sword once.

Not out of any sort of filial love or camaraderie but because that guy was his ticket to obtain a free passage to the Poison Valley, a first-tier force from a high ranked Stellar System.

That guy was scouted by an envoy from the Poison Valley, who happened to visit the Marsh Domain sect for a couple of days in which he took a liking to that guy, after seeing some potential on him and the one who introduced that prospect which was secretly nurtured for a chance like that, to the envoy was no one else but this elder.

Who happened to be the brother-in-law of a Supreme Elder from the Marsh Domain sect, being the brother of that guy’s first wife, which explained why he wasn’t your average reserve elder unlike the vast majority of the ones that were sent to this place, since it wasn’t the main stage for none of the sects that actively sent their forces here, except the Myriad Occupation sect, since those two Ancestors of theirs seemed to know something that others ignored.

Anyway the point is that a chance for him to raise all the way into an outer disciple of the Poison Valley, without the need to pass any test, just escaped his hands due to said prospect dying at Aster’s hand earlier, so he was furious.

“Expansion!”, with a loud shout, the orange poisonous sea that still needed to advance around half a kilometer to reach the gray-haired woman, suddenly increased its size by a whole kilometer, going from four to five kilometers of size in total.

Felicia who was taken by “surprise” by the sudden change in the poisonous orange sea, looked at her vicinity which had gained an orange tone.

“Hsssss!”, sizzling sounds were produced as the orange poisonous sea tried to get past through the thin layer of spirit energy that naturally radiated Felicia’s body, due to she being a main body path cultivator, resulting in yellow smoke being produced by it.

But that wasn’t all, Felicia who tried to move felt her body being pressured from every direction, there was no sizzling produced by a different type of smoke also surrounded the area, this time it was a red colored one.

‘Humph, how do you like the combination of the “Energy Melting Poison” and the “Body Suppressing Poison” you bitch!’, inwardly screamed the middle stage elder.

This was the most effective combination that existed in the Marsh Domain sect to deal with main body path cultivators, like the gray-haired woman, and thanks to his “Domination Poison”, he could even take their effect to the next level.

‘Bea, I leave my back to you, if she gets close to me, split her skull on the spot!’, he ordered to the peak Sea of Knowledge realm female elder, who nodded in response as her body started leaking dark gray spirit energy, she was a metal attributed cultivator apparently.
