2487 Where Did You Find This Pretty Toy?
Soon, Ice Forest’s gruff voice was followed by a dainty female one, “Ice Forest, stop with your animosity toward Sweet Vanquish. He has never offended you! Instead, you’re the one who always causes trouble for him! You are so annoying!
“If you are really unhappy with Sweet Vanquish in any way or have anything to say against him, you did not have to come! There’s no need for you to have such a forked tongue! You’re the reason Sweet Vanquish has always kept his distance from me.
“Ice Forest, I’m warning you to stop clinging to me. Otherwise, you will no longer be able to continue interacting with the nice version of me!”
Ice Forest was not at all bothered by Evening Crystal’s threat.
What Ice Forest cared about was how Evening Crystal spoke so protectively of Sweet Vanquish.
What was so good about Sweet Vanquish? Why was Evening Crystal so smitten with him?
Ice Forest would not have this big of an issue if Lhalu was the one Evening Crystal had feelings for. After all, he had the Vein Land Imp bloodline.
Given that Evening Crystal chose Sweet Vanquish over him, this meant he could not match up to Sweet Vanquish.
His bloodline was stronger than Lhalu. Sweet Vanquish did not have the right to be compared to him!
Lhalu silently watched the fight between Ice Forest and Evening Crystal. He had seen such fights countless times. Ice Forest’s love-boggled brain and Evening Crystal’s lack of taste rendered him speechless.
“Can the two of you take a rest? You have been fighting over these stupid things from the moment you met! Evening Crystal, since you care about Sweet Vanquish so much, why don’t you go and ask him when he’s coming over? We are busy with many things and don’t have time to waste being here in the west mine district!”
Evening Crystal scoffed coldly and turned to leave the guest room to search for Sweet Vanquish.
Evening Crystal’s affection for Sweet Vanquish was not a recent development. It was because of this affection that made Evening Crystal enthusiastic to know more about Sweet Vanquish.
Given Evening Crystal’s understanding of Sweet Vanquish, he would be waiting for them here if he truly had something urgent to discuss with them.
They had already waited for him for so long. Why was he still nowhere to be seen?
Evening Crystal could not shake the feeling that something was very wrong with this situation. She intended to ask Sweet Vanquish about this after they met.
If she was enough to help Sweet Vanquish, he would not need to approach Lhalu and Ice Forest.
If Sweet Vanquish sought help from Lhalu and Ice Forest, they would definitely try to harm him.
Sweet Vanquish always endured silently when he was in front of Lhalu and Ice Forest. However, Evening Crystal did not wish to see him this way.
Before Evening Crystal walked out of the door of the guest room, she saw Sweet Vanquish walking over with a hunched back and a charming smile plastered on his face.
There was a beautiful humanoid lifeform following him.
Lin Yuan had never been to the alien insect world and did not know what the Apostles and Dictators there looked like.
But from his experience from the past four dimensional worlds that he had been to, the subterranean world’s Apostles and Dictators had the least appealing looks.
Mermaids highly prioritized appearance. This was why Red Beauty and Blue Umber could not warm up to Sweet Vanquish and continued attacking him verbally, even after discovering that he had become Lin Yuan’s subordinate.
Red Beauty and Blue Umber always thought that Ancient Ocean was the ugliest lifeform to ever exist. They never expected the Apostles and Dictators from the subterranean world to look even worse.
They found it extremely strange that someone not only found him appealing but was even enraptured by him. They wanted to know what kind of a being was so lacking in taste.
But once they met Evening Crystal, they felt that it was understandable that Sweet Vanquish had never accepted Evening Crystal’s feelings.
Evening Crystal’s looks left a lot to be desired. She might even be uglier than Sweet Vanquish.
Blue Umber and Red Beauty were more lenient when it came to female lifeforms.
When Ice Forest, Evening Crystal, and Lhalu spotted Blue Umber and Red Beauty behind Lin Yuan, they were immediately captivated.
Lin Yuan, Blue Umber, and Red Beauty completely overhauled their idea of outer appearances.
The three of them had lived in the subterranean world for many years and had never come across such breathtaking appearances.
Previously, Ice Forest’s gaze had been focused on Evening Crystal.
But now, Ice Forest’s gaze had shifted away from Evening Crystal and was swinging between Blue Umber and Red Beauty. He seemed to be trying to decide who was more beautiful.
Mermaids with the emperor-class mermaid bloodline all had unique styles of their own. Each person assessed the beauty of emperor-class mermaids differently according to their individual beauty standards.
Each mermaid was like a uniquely beautiful pearl. It might be hard to pick at first. But when it came to picking one’s favorite, each person would make a different choice.
Eventually, Ice Forest’s gaze locked onto Red Beauty. He believed that Red Beauty stood out more.
Even Lhalu, who was never interested in pretty faces, felt that it might be a good idea to keep one of these beauties around. Such beauty could only be complemented by experts like him.
Where did Sweet Vanquish find such pretty toys?
Of the two male humanoid lifeforms that followed Sweet Vanquish, one was refreshingly handsome, while the other was tall and intimidating.
It was likely that Evening Crystal would lose interest in Sweet Vanquish after laying eyes on them.
While Lhalu’s gaze was swinging between Red Beauty and Blue Umber, he did not notice that Evening Crystal’s gaze had returned to Sweet Vanquish.
Evening Crystal’s gaze turned stern.
If these three lifeforms were really toys that Sweet Vanquish had obtained for pleasure, his selfish nature would never allow him to share them.
Sweet Vanquish’s gaze had been fixed on the male humanoid lifeform behind him, and his eyes were filled with reverence and respect.
Evening Crystal had seen Sweet Vanquish with this same expression back in the Earth Ancestral Palace. At that time, Sweet Vanquish had been Hollow Earth’s attendant.
Lin Yuan’s gaze swept across the three of them before he nodded slightly at Evening Crystal.
He had not expected her to be the only one to put up her guard. Red Beauty and Blue Umber had wholly attracted the other two Samsara Realm Dictators.
Lin Yuan found this to be rather comical.
This situation resulted from Lin Yuan instructing Red Thorn to retract the Abyss Great Emperor’s aura and because Red Beauty and Blue Umber had hidden their powers.
Ice Forest walked over to Red Beauty.
Red Beauty looked at Ice Forest with disgust before turning her gaze to Lin Yuan.
Red Beauty felt that Ice Forest’s gaze was blasphemous.
If Lin Yuan had not instructed her to hide her power, Red Beauty would have attacked Ice Forest when his gaze moved onto her.
