Then, CoCo evolved…
Whether it was the Laobaigan that accelerated the digestion of the異種珠 (yìzhǒng zhū -异种珠)
Or the radiation and amplifier that boosted the energy.
CoCo crossed two tiers in an instant, leveling up to Tier Seven.
Transforming into a ball of fire, it ascended into the sky and soared towards the sea…
…
*Plop!*
CoCo let out another satisfied burp, its golden body shrinking instantly.
A plump, round little body landed in An Nuan’s palm, settling down with a soft plop.
It used to be a normal parrot.
Now it resembled a little roly-poly, its backside round and large, with a golden crest on its head and a ruff of golden feathers around its neck that seemed to glow with fire.
An Nuan touched the flames with her finger.
It remained warm, with no burning sensation.
“I never imagined CoCo would become so powerful after upgrading!”
CoCo’s eyes sparkled.
“CoCo is super powerful, CoCo is a big bird now!”
“It’s a golden phoenix!”
“Phoenix, hehe, CoCo is a phoenix!”
CoCo flapped its wings with a flutter.
Its small wings trembled, less than half the size of its head, making it look even more endearingly clumsy.
Who would have thought that such a clumsy little pet was the golden phoenix just moments ago.
An Nuan gave CoCo a heavy kiss.
“We must celebrate today! To commemorate CoCo’s upgrade, I’ll catch insects for you myself!”
Gui Tian: “Don’t celebrate yet, look over here!”
Gui Tian pointed at the sea.
Dense, large heads emerged from the water.
Several sharks slowly approached the shore, but fearing to get stranded, they lingered in the water a distance from the beach.
Fu Yunting: “Your boss is dead, are you still planning to fight?”
“No, no, you misunderstand, we’re not here to fight.”
Two great white sharks moved closer: “We’ve come to thank you.”
An Nuan and Fu Yunting were a little bewildered.
Thank us?
You want to thank me after I killed your boss?
It didn’t make much sense.
“We were almost eaten by the Nine-Headed Shark just now, and you saved us. We want to express our gratitude.”
After speaking, they spat out some live and kicking seafood from their mouths.
It was fresh, but a little hard to swallow…
The great white sharks, leading the shark lineage, lowered their heads obediently.
“From now on, you are our bosses. We are willing to follow your commands. We hope you can let bygones be bygones and not hold grudges.”
An Nuan was confused.
Do all creatures these days have a masochistic streak?
They easily develop strange emotions towards those who beat them.
An Nuan didn’t understand their thoughts.
But if others were eager to become subordinates, what reason did she have to refuse?
An Nuan cleared her throat: “Then from now on, you will listen to Gui Tian and Yun Man, and get along well with them.”
“That’s wonderful! Thank you! What should we do now?”
“Let us do something. We’ve messed up your territory like this, so we feel a bit bad and want to do something to make amends.”
Good heavens, they were eager to get to work on their first day.
Truly exemplary employees!
An Nuan: “Then please organize yourselves and be responsible for cleaning up this stretch of the sea. All the bodies and remains must be collected. These are precious food sources and experimental materials, and they should not be wasted.”
“Understood! Leave it to us!”
The great white sharks led their schools into the depths of the ocean.
They were fast and could store things in their mouths, making them ideal for this task.
Gui Tian also rallied his group to clean up the ocean debris.
An Nuan stroked CoCo’s head and said, “It seems I can’t casually eat seafood anymore. I might end up eating my own companions.”
“Eat bugs, stone bugs are delicious, I’ll share with you!”
“Heh, thank you, but you’d better keep them for yourself. Eat more…” https:/
Yun Man saw movement in the distance: “Xiao Nuan, it looks like a lot of people are coming.”
“Zhai Yan, take the ‘Lapdogs’ and leave first.”
The ‘Lapdogs’ were undercover and hadn’t yet revealed themselves to the human groups.
If their existence were publicized, it would cause future trouble and also affect the safety of the ‘Lapdogs’ zombies.
It was best to keep them hidden for now.
Zhai Yan picked up Yang Yang and, pulling along the ‘Lapdogs’, burrowed underground.
The few large zombies also left the beach.
The crowd surged forward, and Fu Yunting growled, “Stop!”
Everyone felt a terrifying chill, and their primal instincts instilled a strong sense of fear, causing them to halt fifty meters away.
The entire crowd fell silent, gazing at Fu Yunting.
A man swallowed, forcing himself to calm down:
“We came after seeing the phoenix. Was that really a phoenix just now?”
“You mean this?”
An Nuan held CoCo in her hands.
The crowd erupted in excited gasps.
“Wow, it’s really a phoenix!”
“The one just now? Why is it so small?”
“It must not be fully grown yet. Even not fully grown, it’s incredibly powerful. When it matures, it’ll be world-shattering!”
“Was that a dragon? I didn’t notice it before. It must be a dragon!”
Xiao Yu was incredibly lifelike. Although a snake, it was exceptionally beautiful.
After evolving, its body was coated in iridescent black, making it even more stunning.
Now, its wings carried a translucent golden sheen.
If one called it a snake, ordinary people wouldn’t believe it.
Even if it were a snake, it certainly wouldn’t be an ordinary one.
It was the kind that could stir the heart…
“It’s a young dragon-snake and a phoenix, so cute!”
“The divine beasts have chosen masters, I want to choose a master too!”
“Can you compare yourself to divine beasts? Being an auxiliary would be great!”
“I don’t care, I will die in this city!”
Waves churned in the sea, and sharks and whales frolicked, forming archways.
The spray rose into the air, and under the sunlight, it turned into rainbow colors.
Hundreds of rainbows created a dreamlike beauty.
The crowd began to stir, and rows of people knelt down, prostrating themselves before them.
“A miracle, it’s absolutely a miracle!”
“It’s so good to live in the same city as the chosen ones!”
“Thank you, Mom and Dad, for giving birth to me! From now on, I will be your loyal servant!”
“Oh gods, accept my worship!”
An Nuan’s skin crawled.
Gods, please take these chuunibyou idiots away.
Listen to what they’re saying, it’s so idiotic!
An Nuan twitched her lips and raised her hand, intending to signal them to stop.
Someone exclaimed, “The gods are speaking to me! Tell us your commands, your wishes are our reason for living.”
An Nuan: …
Can’t you be normal?
Dare you send some normal people over?
Fu Yunting: “Move aside.”
The crowd immediately parted, forming a path and standing quietly on either side.
Fu Yunting: “Alright, let’s get in the car and go home.”
An Nuan got into the car. As soon as she started the engine, the leader suddenly shouted, “Farewell, divine envoys!”
“We bid farewell to the divine envoys!”
An Nuan curled up, burying her head in her knees.
Embarrassed, so embarrassed.
