Chapter 164: Li Li & Plinky!


    Where do we y first?Plinkyasked as he swam through the air glowing a golden light.


    Follow me! I know the perfect ce for us to have fun. LiLitook the leadandflew ahead, deep into the Immortal Forest.


    LiLiled him into the incredibly dangerous Inner Layer of the Immortal Forest. An area where spirit beasts at the Core Stage and Qi Transformation realm stay. Ever since hes made it to the 9thstage of the Qi Consolidation realm like his mom, hes beening here more often now that he could stand up against Core Stage spirit beasts. Sadly, he couldnt kill the Qi Transformation stage animals yet. He was still too weak.


    Plinkyhappily followed LiLiinto this dangerous area despite being a 1ststage Qi Gatherer. Normally a 1ststage Qi Gatherer wouldnt be able to handle the amount of qi concentrated this deep in the forest but after ingesting Li Lis anomalous blood, he has already made his way to breaking the limits of what is considered normal for beings of this ne. Calling him a Super Fish would be an understatement to his true capabilities. But even so, taking on Core Stage and Qi Transformation staged spirit beast is far too much for him at the moment.


    LiLirealized this. He wasnt stupid enough to send his first Demon to something that would get him killed. They were going somewhere else to have their fun. It was a secret that only Spirit Beasts knew as far as LiLiunderstood. Many cultivators at the higher realms understood that Spirit Beasts could transform into human forms once they reach a high enough cultivation stage. But not many of them knew that some of these unbelievably strong Spirit Beasts have createdmunities of their own deep inside the Immortal Forest, hidden from view by humans and cultivators alike.


    Down below the two, a city could be seen. With their eyes, they could spot several animals of various cultivation stages chatting, doing business, or fighting. LiLiledPlinkydown into the city. Theynded down in the middle of the road and continued on foot there. LiLiwalking on his legs whilePlinkyswam on the side of him, just barely floating above the ground.


    This is Squirrel City. LiLiexined.


    Squirrel?Plinkyquestioned.


    The leader of this ce is King Squirrel. He is the strongest Spirit Beast around for now.


    Oh. Is it fun time now?


    In here. You can have your fun in here. LiLimotioned to the front of them.


    Plinkyhad to turn his head up to take in the giant building built eerily simr in the same way that a humans coliseum would be. Not that he knew what a human coliseum was in the first ce. He was only born a day ago. LiLidid know what a coliseum was and was cingPlinkyinside to see what he could do. While he would be chatting with a friend...


    Can I eat them?Plinkyasked before he was sent inside.


    No. They dont really allow killing inside the city except for killing criminals. LiLianswered.


    Can I eat after I have fun?


    Yep! Ill bring you somewhere that has really delicious food!


    Yay! Okay! Ill go have some fun now that I''m really strong! He swam into the arena.


    The metal gate shut behind him with a crash as he made it inside the arena. His eyes saw all the other animals far higher than him in the cultivation stage staring down at him. And waved with his little fin at them. In the middle of the animals standing, flying, or sitting up there, he saw a human and LiLi! LiLiflew to the side of the human sitting in the biggest chair and started talking with him. His thoughts were about to wonder about who that human was butPlinkysattention was soon grabbed by the big bird staring at him.


    Youre going to y with me?Plinkyasked.


    Is this a joke? The Ostrich asked, feeling the cultivation realm of his opponent.


    I dont think youre strong enough to y with me...Plinkyfrowned.


    The ostrich was a 1ststage Qi Consolidator. Hearing this from a strange spirit beast that looks smaller than his big toe waspletely insulting! He was nning on holding back on ount of their massive stage difference but now? The floating animal could only me itself for having such a big mouth.


    Ah, LiLi, my good friend. It is nice to see you again.It''sbeen a while since youst visited. I was afraid something horrible had happened to you. The handsome human smiled.


    Hey Squirrel King. Ive been busy spending time with my mom but I might be visiting here more often because now I''m finally doing thatthingI said I wouldst time we talked. LiLigreeted back.


    The human female? He asked, his eyes seemingly trying to fish for something inside him.


    Yep. LiLididnt know what he was fishing for but it didnt matter. He had nothing to hide. He met his deep eyes with pride.


    Well,I may have some rmendations for your Heavenly Demons if youre taking entries. King Squirrel took a sip of his spiritually rich wine.


    Oh. LiLididnt expect this. Who did you have in mind? He always thought that King Squirrel was apathetic when it came to anything that didnt directly benefit him.


    It looks like the match is starting. Ill tell you after I see what your first Demon can do. He grinned, clearly interesting in seeing the oue of the fight. I might have to discard my rmendations if hes too strong, you know?


    Hes still very young.Plinkyhas much time to grow. LiLisaid.


    Pfft!Bwahahaha! And how old are you, LiLi? King Squirrel jokingly asked.


    Im different from others around my age because of my mother. Dont try andpare me other kids.


    Youre all youths in my eyes, you know? He smiled.


    Youre an Earthly Immortal but I''ve doubt you seen anyone like me before, am I right? LiLiasked.


    You are right about that. You are one of a kind LiLi. Ive seen thousands of mutants and Spirit Beasts with unnatural strength but none of them came close to the unusualness that is you. And you said your mother is the same for humans?


    Maybe. Out of the other humans I''ve seen so far, yes.


    You still havent given up that ridiculous notion that youre human yet, huh?


    Just because I look different from other humans doesnt mean I''m not a human.


    A childs ignorance is truly a beautiful thing.


    No one is being ignorant. It''s simply the truth.


    Well, when you reach my realm, you can fully im that you are your mothers child. At that point gaining your human form will be a piece of cake. But let me give you some advice, once you decide on your human form, you can never change it again except with exceptionally rare treasures.


    I can fully im it now. And thanks for the advice.


    I do have a question for you... King Squirrel stroked his beard. That is a fish, if I''m not mistaken, correct?


    Plinkyis a fish that can breathe onnd. LiLiexined.


    How? Fish dont just breath onnd. Even the most powerful of fish cant juste ontond and breath or swim through the air like it was water.


    His qi element is Yang. I guessed it had something to do with that. LiLitold him.


    Yang qi!? You must be joking with me. King Squirrel couldnt believe it.


    You, out of everyone here, can tell if I''m joking or not.


    Plinkywas constantly radiating Yang qi around himself in the form of that golden light.


    Your Heavenly Demons might be a stronger force than I thought... I guess I can throw away the spirit beasts I was nning to send your way. Almost none of them would stand a chance against that fish except those in the Core Preparation stage and above.


    He is a lot stronger than I thought he would be but he is still too immature. But maybe this bird wasnt enough to force him to be serious. Ill have to see in the future. LiLispoke.


    Over the course of his match,Plinkycontinued to y around with his opponent till the very end. He toyed with him like an adult would with a child.Plinkywas faster than the ostrich and could avoid anything he threw at him. His kicks and shes couldnt touchPlinky. While at the same time,Plinkycouldve ended it in a single blow with his deceiving appearance. With a single tackle,Plinkyplowed into the ostrich. The 1ststage Qi Consolidator went flying into the wall,pletely knocked out with no chance of getting back into the fight.


    He was too weak to have some real fun with. Oh well. Time to eat!Plinkyswam up to LiLias LiLicollected his winnings for him.


    This is for you. LiLihanded him his beast cores.


    Waah...Plinkyseyes shined at the sight of the delectable cores.


    Lets go get some food like I said we would. See you around King Squirrel. LiLiwave goodbye.


    Bye Squirrel King!Plinkyexcitement could be seen in the way he swam.


    Farewell Heavenly Demons. I look forward to seeing how you grow in the future. King Squirrel waved goodbye.
