Chapter 103
The night was getting thicker and thicker .
Lei had gone really far bringing along that Copper-Crowned Wyvren . But when they opened their ears wide, one could vaguely hear the devil beast’s scream and loud beating noises . Judging from these noises, it was obvious that Lei had made up his mind to tame this strange two-legged Wyvren .
These travelers hadn’t slept yet . On the one hand, it was because of the adventurer’s habit, after dinner, that they would need a time to rest . After they finished digesting food properly, they then would go to sleep . On the other hand, the reason was because there was an untied purgatory-refined brutal giant ape not far away from their campsite . As it made their heart startled and gallbladder tremble, they didn’t dare to go to sleep .
“It is not good if we keep going like this . ” Stelle whispered, “Their pressure is too big, we have to reduce some stress . “
“Right, but how can we reduce the pressure for them?” Sui Xiong asked, “Crack a joke? Or sing a song, dance to a rhythm?”
Stelle mystically smiled, “I’ve got a better method . “
Sui Xiong was slightly surprised, he immediately imagined something terrible, and hurriedly warned her, “Hey! You shouldn’t do anything reckless! That kind of naked party . . . I won’t allow it!”
“Don’t underestimate me! I don’t only have that method to help people reduce pressure!” Stelle couldn’t restrain her laughter, “You wait and see!”
After saying this, she swayed over to the giant ape, which was attentively guarding, obediently fulfilling its duty as “Watchdog “, and beamed a lovely smile as she put her hands on the broad chest of the giant ape . She started stroking its chest, using her sweet voice, which could cause tooth decay, to speak with it, “Robust big head, do you have any interest in doing something to loosen up your mind and physique?”
The giant ape was gloomy . It didn’t understand what she meant .
Among the wild beasts, the ape was considered pretty smart . Despite the fact that its purgatory transformation and brutality were not any help to its intelligence (on the contrary, other adverse effects which reduced its intelligence appeared a lot), as king of the beasts, it was definitely quite smart . Its intelligence was almost on the same level of a kid’s . It could understand common language with simple content . It absolutely didn’t understand Stelle’s teasing words .
Therefore, it dumbfoundely looked at Stelle, not knowing what this human female wanted to do .
It was strange that in front of Stelle, it was very well-behaved, even more obedient than when facing Lei despite Stelle’s build which was a lot smaller than its .
The devil beast’s intuition had told it that the woman in front of it right now was a creature which was much more advanced than it . Therefore, it should obediently listen to her and should not go against her words .
But when Stelle started to do that kind of thing, it still couldn’t take it and fought back .
After all, a devil creature also had its pride . . .
Hearing the noises outside, Lady Teague, Liv, little Agnes, who were taking rest inside the tent and Frank who was resting on the chariot, were all frightened . They all went to check what had happened .

As a result, they immediately saw Stelle was covered by a red light . Then in a blink of an eye, she turned into a powdery pink little pig flapping its wings in the sky .
Ahh?
Words couldn’t describe how these four people felt at this moment—but, at least it could portray the feeling of little Agnes . She was both happy and scared . She excitingly ran over, used her fingers to gently poke on the little pig floating in the sky, and happily said: “It is really a pig!”
The little pig let out a “panting” sound as a pink bubble was spat out . The bubble touched the face of the little girl then exploded with a “bam” sound .
Little Agnes jumped up out of the fear . Since she understood clearly that the little pig didn’t resist her interaction, she was extremely happy, gently stroking the little pig, wanting to hug it .
Lady Teague was a little worried and ran over with the intention of stopping her . As she saw the little pig obediently lying in Agnes’ arms with no intention of attacking her or escaping, she finally put down her worries .
“What is with this little pig?” Liv curiously asked, “A moment ago, I had seen lady Stelle, so where is she? Where did she go?”
The one who could answer her questions here was obviously that giant ape—–but even though it understood the human language, it couldn’t speak the human language .
After being silent for a long time, Sui Xiong sighed, and appeared in the air .
“It is Stelle . This person is occupied with evil thoughts again and has turned into a pig . “
But his explanation didn’t receive everyone’s approval . Liv and Frank, on the other hand, vigilantly looked at him as they didn’t know what the identity of the floating green jellyfish was .
Only little Agnes was completely naive and didn’t worry much . She stretched her hand out, grabbed Sui Xiong’s hanging tentacles, trying to pull them down .
“Ah? What are you doing?”
Before Sui Xiong finished asking, he had already been pulled down in front of her face . After that, she held the little powdery pink pig in one hand and the green jellyfish in the other, laughing heartily .
Sui Xiong tilted his face and didn’t say anything . He happened to face the little powerdy pink pig, which was laughing very happily .
“Stelle, you did it on purpose?” Sui Xiong was suddenly enlightened, using the spirit connection to scream angrily at her, “You even dare to scheme with me?!”
“This is nothing . It is just a little joke to make kids happy . ” Stelle didn’t show any hint of repentance or fear, giggled and said, “It is just to help them reduce their pressure a little bit . You wouldn’t agree anyway . “
“But I didn’t say I would become a pet to lessen their pressure!” In the spirit’s world, Sui Xiong’s shout was really like thunder, creating banging sounds, “But I am a God after all! How can I become a pet for children?!”
“So what does it have to do with this? I am a human but I still don’t care about my face . You are just a jellyfish, so why do you have to care?”

Sui Xiong seethed with anger which was caused by Stelle . He was left speechless—-a matchless shameless person would completely lose his face when encountering Stelle . Even if it was a God, he would be at a loss for words as well .
He intended to struggle to get away . But when he saw little Agnes smiling happily like this, he somehow couldn’t do it . When thinking back, this little girl was a little pitiful . At such a young age, she had lost her father . Her original wealthy life had also turned into a poverty-stricken one . Now, she had to wander around in Jianghu, to go through the bloody life of an adventurer .
In the end, the unimaginably mighty Highness Jellyfish God silently sighed and admitted the fact that he temporarily changed into the position of a pet .
When the sun started to rise in the east, Lei rode the Copper-Crowned Wyvern—which was suppressed under his strong scheme and had eventually accepted its fate of turning from a devil beast into a mount—back . He immediately saw little Agnes dizzily walking out of the tent . Her two hands were carrying a little powdery pink pig and a giant green jellyfish .
He was in a daze for a long time, then laughed out loud, staggering .
A while later, everyone packed the tent and continued advancing .
Three horses, one chariot which was pulled by two horses .
There were two horses with empty backs .
Liv alone led three horses . At first, she was a little bit clumsy . But really quickly, she had got the hang of it . These warhorses had been specially trained . They were very obedient . She only rode one of the horses ahead as the other two would naturally follow behind . Therefore, she didn’t need to put much effort in leading them .
She leisurely moved forward, at times taking a glance behind . Not far ahead, Lei was riding the Copper-Crowned Wyvern, swaggering all the way . Although the Copper-Crowned Wyvern looked like a monster flying in the sky, it was not good at flying . They could only fly a short time to fight and hunt . Normally, they would mainly walk . The Copper-Crowned Wyvern which Lei was riding was no exception . Not to mention, due to its enormous build, which was much bigger than the normal two-legged Wyvern, its flying technique was a little bit clumsier . Although it looked like it was flying, it was just a mix of jumping and gliding techniques in the sky .
This point also made him dissatisfied . Hence, he hurried to set off and train this Wyvren how to fly . According to his estimation, when they reached the Cloud Tower city, they wouldn’t be able to avoid an intense battle, which most likely would require a fighting in the sky technique . As for his mount, although it couldn’t flexibly fly back and forth in the sky like an eagle, it at least had a stable flying ability .
Thus, he strengthened his training intensity toward his mount, making this Cooper-Crowned Wyvern indescribably miserable . But maybe it was like the so-called saying “talent is from being forced, courage is from being trained”, and thus, after a period of training, its flying technique improved tremendously . Now, it was able to fly for a while in the air . If there was a competition among the two-legged Wyverns, it would be more likely to become the most competitive candidate for the champion in the area .
While the giant ape, which had been changed into a watchdog, was still doing its duty diligently, in the morning, it would silently follow the team . At night, it would attentively and seriously guard so that other people could sleep soundly . After a long time, even Frank who was the most worried had loosened up . When Lady Teague prepared meals, she even prepared a portion like everybody’s especially for the ape .
When the giant ape held the big bowl, sitting there to eat, its appearance was like a real human .
It took nineteen days in total to go from the Golden Tower city to the Cloud Tower city .
It was a very long journey . There were dangers everywhere . Along the way, they had already met these kinds of advanced devil creatures which were more than ten times bigger than their purgatory-refined giant ape . Among those times, they really met a frightening one once .
It was a giant ash-gray dragon . Judging from the layer of shiny mirror-like scales, it was quite young, but the momentum emitted from its body scared people out of their wits . Before it came to anyone’s settlements, no matter if it were a warhorses or draft horses, they would all be paralyzed and fall on the ground . Lady Teague, Liv and Frank were extremely tense as they took out swords, set up the bows, and got ready to fight .
The giant ape had already thought of running away . But in the end, it didn’t leave, and gathered its courage to stay . It broke a big branch to use as a weapon . But judging by its two shaking legs, when a real battle happened, there would probably be no way to count on its fighting force .
Lei jumped off the Copper-Crowned Wyvern which had kneeled down to show its respect to his superior race . He didn’t pull out his sword, but stood there with a solemn face, confronting the young giant dragon .
After the two sides confronted each other a long time, without saying a word, the giant dragon lost its interest, harrumphed coldly, and flew up to the sky with a storm .
This confrontation made people scared and helped them gain a clearer perspective of Lei’s power .
This was a powerhouse, who could knock out a giant dragon by only his prestige without taking out his sword!
After the giant dragon left, Lady Teague immediately asked Lei if he could let Liv follow him to study a bit .
Lei of course wouldn’t decline . After that, Frank also wanted to follow to study . Hence, he had gained two students .

In a world where strength rules, notions of good and evil blur. The protagonist of this story is not a hero. He is not human.

The Princess And Her Warmonger
"Let me tell you a true story about a mouse and a Warmonger, and the unlikely relationship that sprouted between them in the time of endless war." Nostalisk is a world in endless constant war. The Factions of this world endlessly fight for power, this fighting called the Great Wars, a war that has been alive for over four million years. Currently, one of the largest Factions has withdrawn from the endless fighting. This Faction, known as the Kingdom, hopes to forget their past of endless bloodshed and how they were almost destroyed because of it. In the Kingdom, Princess Isalene, the only princess of the Kingdom, is stuck choosing a new personal guard after her previous one died. Despite her father, King Robert, helping her choose a new guard, Isalene decides to head to the arena to see how the knights on the list her father gave her act outside of the eyes of royals. When she arrives at the arena, she sees a knight fighting that is not on the list her father gave her. Named Cruel Knight, this knight is a vicious knight with confusing morals. Despite hating violence, Princess Isalene can't help but be drawn to the knight and their graceful yet cruel fighting style and strange weapons. Princess Isalene continues to watch them and soon learns that Cruel Knight is a Warmonger named Sharia, and is female at that, meaning she is a prisoner. She isn't in there for something simple as disobeying a direct order or killing a noble, but for prolonging a war. Despite knowing this, Princess Isalene can't stop thinking about the Warmonger and suddenly gets a "smart" idea. She'll make Sharia her new personal guard to find out more about her! What could go wrong? And so begins the odd relationship between Sharia The Warmonger and Princess Isalene. One is a peace-loving sheltered naive princess who hates violence and the other is a vicious, cold, twisted, and cruel Warmonger who hates the kind of peace Isalene and the current Kingdom loves. Polar opposites. Yet, even the Warmonger can't help but grow a strange liking to her new "annoyance". But, can the two really get along? After all, Sharia's whole mindset sees Isalene as a waste, and it seems that everyone Isalene talks to tells her to fire Sharia before something terrible happens. But, then again, during this time of budding danger, this odd couple may be what the Kingdom needs. After all, when a large faction such as the Kingdom starts growing soft and weak, they become a rather irresistible target. [After thinking on it, I decided to start a re-write of The Princess And Her Warmonger, adding more details, fixing the switching POVs somewhat, and fixing some of the issues with the story. Don't worry, all of the chapters are still here, I am just making new ones and replacing the old chapters one at a time] (This story can also be found on Scribble Hub and Webnovel) [Cover art is not mine]
