Evolution From the Big Tree

“Five minutes, that’s too long.” With a chuckle, a dazzling fire ignited in the depths of Nine Tails’ eyes.

The next moment, even more shockingly, as she started treading the air, waves of flames rose behind her, sweeping through the sky.

For a moment, her terrifying display of power even caused the pupils of the Polar Bear in the distance to shrink.

At this moment, as it looked toward the sky, the Polar Bear violently shuddered upon seeing the Red Fox with three tails, enveloped in a sea of flames. It had a flabbergasted look on its face, as if it had witnessed something unimaginable.

“Well!?” Even Brewmaster, who was drinking in the distance, was so dumbfounded at this display that his drink was spilling on the ground.

Right then…

*Swoosh!* Nine Tails turned into a streak of red light, going straight for the Polar Bear. She moved so fast that it looked as if she teleported, crossing hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, with a ‘schlick,’ her claws had already locked onto its throat. By the time the Polar Bear reacted, raging flames surged out her claws.

*Roar, Roar…* Almost choking-like, mournful wails resounded through the sky for kilometers.

The whole iceberg fell silent. Only the piercing roars of the Polar Bear in the sea of flames could be heard.

“Uh…” Even Brewmaster fell into a long silence, his heart in turmoil.

[This is not scientifically possible? I admit that Polar Bear is weak, but not so much that it could be subdued in one move! This, this is…] Brewmaster was completely dumbfounded, and spilled most of his wine on the ground.

At this moment, as if she had noticed Brewmaster’s amazement, a light chuckle rang in the air. 

“Don’t look at my eyes right now.” Nine Tails’ melodious voice, akin to the sweet chimes of silver bells but tinged with a seductive allure, resounded, causing Brewmaster to involuntarily shudder.

Enchanting Eyes – Her eyes have the power to captivate anyone’s heart and soul. Even peers of the same level would lose focus when gazing into them.

…

While Nine Tails and the others were achieving glorious results, on the other side…

In one of the most prosperous cities in China, Beijing, a figure in red dress stood between towers, gazing at the night sky in silence.

It was none other than Ling Er.

A moment later…

*Chirp…* A soft chirp sounded in her ears. Whereupon, Ling Er raised her white-as-jade finger before a strange fist-sized bird landed on her finger.

The fist-sized bird was none other than Fal II of the Peregrine Falcon, who was known for his exceptional speed and concealment. Everyday, his only task was to relay messages.

“Master sent Qing Gang to intercept the delegation!?” As she read the message aloud in the gentle voice, Ling Er’s lips curled up slightly. In fact, there was a troublesome character within the Chinese delegation. If he were to be dealt with, it would greatly benefit Ling Er.

Of course, when referring to trouble, it was not about his strength.

It was because he happened to be the second disciple of the silver-haired middle-aged General Li, the Twin Titans of China. He held significant authority and currently controlled 40% of the military power left behind by General Li.

It was also because of him that Ling Er has not been able to expand her influence for a long time.

She had seized half of the military power half a month ago, and now, there was still the other half.

When Ling Er had revealed her ambitions, it had also alerted the other disciples of General Li, prompting them to be cautious around her. As a result, Ling Er has been feeling somewhat constrained.

Among these issues, the most troublesome one is Li Yuan Hu.

According to the rumors, he was the direct relative of General Li, and many of the older officers supported him.

Just then, a shout suddenly came from afar, “Miss Ling Er, Major General Li Hao wishes to see you.”

“He’s back again?” Ling Er frowned slightly, her face revealing frustration.

Li Hao was General Li’s seventh disciple and also the one with Lightning Elemental Talent.

However, for some reason, after their battle, his gaze towards her became heated with fervor and passion. Not just him, many Human geniuses had similar gazes.

But those as passionate as Li Hao were few.

“Tell him I’ve gone into seclusion,” Ling Er casually replied, but her eyes could not help but flicker slightly.

If she wanted to expand her influence, Li Hao could be a valuable pawn. After all, Li Hao’s family was a well-known wealthy merchant family in China with deep connections.

[What should i do?] After some thought, Ling Er’s gaze shifted to behind her, whereupon hundreds of black bats entered her sight.

“How much longer?” as she inquired, looking at a nearby young man with platinum blonde hair, her eyes were filled with anticipation.

“Master, I’ve already refined four drops of my own blood essence. With another drop, I can try to transform that person into a familiar.”

“Okay, I’ll give you some more time.” Nodding slightly, Ling Er’s figure disappeared into the deep night.

Ling Er was one of the top Human prodigies, known as the ‘Flame Princess,’ but lately, she had acquired a new title, ‘Empress.’

A powerful and profound title, which seems to have emerged out of nowhere but has unveiled a mysterious aspect of Ling Er; she was a girl who desired to lay her hands on the throne, and a quite formidable one at that.

Nonetheless, Ling Er has chosen to remain silent about this title.

Furthermore, on a certain day, she had applied to the Chinese’s highest office to become a Mayor.

Her intention behind it was self-evident.

…

In a study room somewhere in China…

“That little girl, Ling Er, have you met her?” As the man with the highest status in China brought up Ling Er’s name, the corners of his lips could not help but curl up slightly, as if he was smiling. 

“I have,” replying in a hoarse and deep voice, a figure emerged from the darkness, “She is one of the few people in the younger generation that I can’t quite figure out. And personally, I feel she’s a bit peculiar.”

“Peculiar?” muttering, a hint of playfulness also appeared on the middle-aged man’s face.

[When even the strongest expert of China is saying so, then there must be really something peculiar about this girl. Well, it’s not a problem at all. After all, in the Era of Transcendence, some people will always have certain strokes of luck.]

[Just like General Li and I. Without these opportunities, how can anyone rise in this Era of Transcendence?]

But thinking about her previous application to become a Mayor, the middle-aged man’s eyes shimmered slightly.

Today’s Mayor was different from the past. It could be said that the current Mayor was a true figure of power and authority, akin to a ruler of the land. Thus, each choice carried great significance.

But as he looked at Ling Er’s illustrious record, the middle-aged man could not think of a reason to refuse.

“Very well, I’ll let her have her way this time.”
