Chapter 294 - 192: Life Fusion! You Really Brought the Icefield Witch to the Guild!?

Chapter 294: Chapter 192: Life Fusion! You Really Brought the Icefield Witch to the Guild!?

"What’s going on?"

Su Xuan frowned slightly and strode over to the Snow Porpoise Egg.

Although the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly and Viora had helped restore its vitality, this Snow Porpoise Egg was still a long way from hatching.

But now, it had suddenly trembled. This wasn’t the kind of reaction one would expect from an egg that was simply incubating a new life.

"President, I think I hear it talking..."

Viora moved gracefully on her deer-like legs, approaching the Snow Porpoise Egg.

Just like the daughter of the Goddess of Nature before, Viora had the ability to hear sounds that others could not.

"What did it say?" Su Xuan asked Viora, his eyes filled with curiosity.

This unusual reaction from the Snow Porpoise Egg was likely a resonance caused by something they had brought back.

The most likely culprits were the personal belongings of the Icefield Witch, since, after all, the Snow Dolphin was also a creature created by her.

"It said..."

Viora leaned close to the Snow Porpoise Egg, listening with her deer-like ears, trying to interpret the faint, mysterious sound.

Of course, from Su Xuan’s perspective, there was only silence; no sound could be heard.

After a moment, Viora seemed to understand the Snow Porpoise Egg’s request.

She nodded, then turned to Su Xuan and conveyed the egg’s wish. "Mr. President, it wants the egg you brought back."

"The egg?"

Su Xuan wasn’t too surprised. His gaze shifted to the Ice Crystal Egg resting in the treasure chest.

According to the Ice Crystal Egg’s description, a living being was dormant inside, and it needed a vessel to incubate and awaken it.

It was the only special item among a pile of clothes, so it was naturally easy to guess.

However, what did surprise Su Xuan was that the so-called vessel was actually the Snow Porpoise Egg.

"Here."

He handed the Ice Crystal Egg to Viora.

Viora gently took the Ice Crystal Egg and carefully placed it next to the Snow Porpoise Egg.

In that instant, the Snow Porpoise Egg and the Ice Crystal Egg suddenly erupted in a dazzling white halo, the intense light making it impossible to look directly at them.

When the white flash gradually dissipated, the Ice Crystal Egg had vanished without a trace, leaving only a crystal-blue Snow Porpoise Egg.

The intricate patterns on the eggshell now shimmered with a blue crystal light, breathtakingly beautiful.

"They fused?"

Ivsha and the others looked astonished, finding the combination of the Snow Porpoise Egg and the Ice Crystal Egg incredible.

"Mhm~"

Viora smiled and nodded, explaining to everyone, "This is a unique way for life to be born, but it’s not a simple combination. Rather than a new birth... it’s more like a rebirth."

"Rebirth?"

Su Xuan was a little surprised by Viora’s choice of words.

He had originally thought this was the birth of a new life, but now it seemed more like the rebirth of a life that had already perished.

Connecting this with the earlier words "dormant" and "awaken," he couldn’t help but wonder, ’Did I really just bring the Icefield Witch back to the Guild?’

Hiss~

Su Xuan rubbed the bridge of his nose. If this guess was true, then things were about to get seriously out of hand!

’Can I really handle a character of that caliber?’

However, Su Xuan quickly reminded himself that he had already subdued Mare Rhine, the Giant Dragon who symbolized destruction. What was impossible?

As he was thinking, Su Xuan’s gaze inadvertently fell on Mare Rhine, who was sitting on the sofa.

She had her legs crossed and was chugging milk from a baby bottle!

Hmm...

Su Xuan rolled his eyes. He felt that ever since this Giant Dragon of destruction had joined the Guild, her image had been going steadily downhill. It felt like she had lost that world-destroying aura she once had.

Perhaps Mare Rhine needed to do something truly impressive to change his opinion of her.

"Hm?"

Just then, Mare Rhine noticed Su Xuan’s stare and looked at him suspiciously.

Su Xuan quickly averted his gaze, refocusing on the crystal-blue Snow Porpoise Egg.

Suddenly, a notification message appeared before his eyes:

[Snow Porpoise Egg (?): Time remaining until hatching: 10 days!]

"!"

This message made a golden glint of anticipation flash in Su Xuan’s eyes.

In just ten days, he would find out what mysterious life was incubating inside this Snow Porpoise Egg!

"Chirp chirp chirp~"

At that moment, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly seemed to sense the change in the life within the Snow Porpoise Egg. It joyfully flew above the egg, dancing gracefully as if cheering for the new life to come.

"You really like this Snow Porpoise Egg, don’t you, little guy?"

Su Xuan smiled and gently rubbed the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s small head.

Ever since the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly had encountered the Snow Porpoise Egg, it had stayed close by its side, seeming to have developed a deep affection for it.

This affection was probably because they had both been born from "eggs."

"Right, you’ve been in the Guild for so long, and I still haven’t leveled you up."

Su Xuan suddenly realized that ever since the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly joined the Guild, he had never raised its Level.

The main reason was probably that he was scared of being drained again, which made him worry that after leveling up, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly would crave even more Magic Power.

Furthermore, as a Magic Pet, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly was not considered a Guild member, so it couldn’t benefit from the Guild’s achievement medal bonuses or the buffs for Guild members.

This also put it lower on the priority list for leveling, unlike Rosaline and the others who were given first consideration.

"Now,"

Su Xuan decided, pouring his stored experience into the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s body. ’Let’s have you level up a few times.’

After completing the D+ Level mission, his Experience Pool had accumulated a massive 150,000 experience points thanks to a critical hit from his Luck Value.

This was enough experience to easily raise the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly to Level 30.

Experience -89,900!

As the experience flowed in, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s body began to glow with a snow-white light, and its aura gradually grew stronger.

[Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly (Legendary)]

Level: 30 (0/12,000)

Race: Insect Demon

Power: 358 / Agility: 358 / Magic Power: 448 / Physique: 358

Growth: 12 (Gains 12 points to All Attributes per level)

Skills: (Expand)

Trait: [Silver Powder] [Phoenix Butterfly]

[Your Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly is 20 levels away from its first metamorphosis!]

"Metamorphosis?"

Seeing the notification that the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly was still 20 levels away from its metamorphosis, Su Xuan broke into a delighted smile.

But raising the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly from Level 30 to 50 would require a considerable amount of experience points.

Moreover, when the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly reached Level 49, it would need special materials to advance to Level 50, which was no easy task.

"Chirp chirp chirp~"

After leveling up, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly flapped its wings happily and danced around Su Xuan, as if expressing its gratitude.

Then, it extended its long proboscis and gently landed it on Su Xuan’s forehead.

’Oh no...’

SLUUURP!!!

"Stop, stop, stop!"

The thing Su Xuan had been worried about had happened after all!

The suction came like a vortex, and in an instant, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly drained every last drop of Su Xuan’s Magic Power, leaving him in a state of magic depletion.

Seeing this, Viora looked worried. A blue fruit immediately grew from the branch in her hand.

She quickly brought the fruit to Su Xuan’s mouth and said with concern, "Mr. President, eat this, quickly!"

Su Xuan opened his mouth and took a bite of the blue fruit.

In a flash, half of his Magic Power was restored. However, the next second, this newly regained magic was mercilessly devoured by the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly.

And so, the cycle of Su Xuan’s Magic Power being restored and depleted continued. Each time he ate the blue fruit, some of his Magic Power would return, only to be sucked away again by the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly in the blink of an eye.

After this happened a few times, Su Xuan had eaten all of the blue fruit.

The total magic provided by these fruits, he calculated, would have been enough to restore his Magic Power about five times.

But even that wasn’t enough to withstand the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly’s continuous draining.

No matter how much he struggled, he ultimately collapsed on the ground, his Magic Power completely exhausted.

"Chirp chirp chirp~"

After eating its fill, the Magic Flame Silver Phoenix Butterfly flapped its wings cheerfully.

Its tiny body now radiated brilliant specks of silver light, as if shrouded in a mysterious, magical aura that was utterly captivating.

"Mr. Su Xuan, you really do spoil that little one. Let me help you back to your room~" Ivsha smiled, extending a hand to gently support Su Xuan and help him to his room.

"Thanks, Ivsha," Su Xuan said gratefully as he lay down on the bed.

The very next second, however, Ivsha suddenly dropped her Holy Light disguise.

"?" Su Xuan froze for a moment, looking somewhat surprised.

"Mr. Su Xuan~" Ivsha continued with a broad smile, "Let me help you recover your Magic Power~ It’s no trouble at all, no need to thank me~"

"!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ivsha suddenly kissed Su Xuan on the lips, her fingertips tracing lightly over his Holy Light.

In that moment, Su Xuan’s mind went completely blank.

’I’ve sacrificed way too much for this Guild!’

...

「Star Kingdom, Royal City.」

The Purple Snow Ice Emperor Flower had safely reached the client’s hands.

Princess Vivian was carefully examining the Purple Snow Ice Emperor Flower before her with her golden eyes, murmuring softly, "So this is the legendary Purple Snow Ice Emperor Flower? It certainly contains a terrifying Power of Ice. I wonder if its bloom could threaten the life of a Star Knight?"

"I hope my dear brother likes my gift... that traitor who colludes with the Demon Race..."
