67 Two Prideful Spirits

Pure, unfiltered danger had immediately crossed Xue Shi. Whoever this blue girl was, it made her whole body instinctively tightly tense up. Never had there ever been a time where she felt a primal sense of dread.

This dread, her body tensing, made Xue Shi realize something, though. Just who was she? A Queen Asura Spirit! There was no way she'll back down from any kind of threat.

Especially from one as harmless as looking as this blue girl! Against all odds, Xue Shi withstood Spooky's natural presence. Her mind and body are pushed through the dread by her tremendous will.

With a proudful serene gaze, she asked Spooky, "And? Just who are you to show yourself in front of this Queen!"

Spooky found no hesitation or stutter in this bold girl's words. Her deep black eyes kept still and even matched with her own abyss like black eyes. Admittedly even Spooky could commend her courage and pride.

However, the thought of sharing space inside Luke's soul with her caused slightly mixed feelings. And it was of those sour feelings that caused a bit of bias against Xue Shi.

So, of course, Spooky had noticed her body tensing up and the split second of shock on her face when first seeing her. If she's going to be here, Spooky decided to mess around a little bit just for her own pleasure.

Spooky didn't answer Xue Shi's question; instead, she only kept a blank stare at her. Slowly her body began to ominously float towards the black-dressed girl.

Floating forward in complete total silence truly showcased Spooky's terrifying aura. Combined with her utter blank face, staring into the depths of Xue Shi's eyes, it's impossible to not get affected by her.

Spooky felt like she was in her natural order. Watching Xue Shi keep the same still expression yet have her body get even tenser brought about a joyous feeling.

For Xue Shi, however, she didn't know what was going to happen. This damn blue girl only seemed to get creepier with each second that passed by. Moreover, her aura...this aura wasn't anything she ever sensed before.

Only mere feet apart from each other did Spooky stop. For the first time since coming here, Spooky had now opened up her mouth to say, "Are you...afraid of me?"

The tone she put on wasn't that same cute one Luke's used to. This time her voice held a slight sinister pitch. If Luke would've heard it, he would undoubtedly connect her voice with the likes of Andrea.

Now Spooky had boundless confidence in herself to frighten just about any person no matter their levels.

Yet...this haughty girl in front of her didn't even react towards her provocation! In fact, she seemed more annoyed.

"Afraid? Are you seriously asking if I'm scared? Is this some sort of bad joke?! This Queen will never be afraid nor bow down to anyone!" Her stride, tone, and confidence all exuded utmost assurance.

Xue Shi went against the natural instinctive protective feeling of her body and equaled Spooky in her eyes! Her great pride doesn't allow herself to pathetically cower away even against stronger opponents.

And no matter who this blue girl was, she would be no different from her rules! Something of which caused some slight surprise for Spooky. And also only caused more slight mixed feelings.

This mortal girl, still so haughty even up close. Spooky had encountered many high and mighty figures, but none can quite compare to the pride this girl has.

So if she wanted to be like this...then Spooky decided to play with words. Cracking a small smile, she said, "Queen?.... Queen? Hmmm….well, you know, a 'Queen' should know her limits."

Spooky believed a girl like herself should be the only one existing here! This Xue Shi bold and brash attitude wasn't needed at all. And she'll prove their chasm difference right now.

In a minimal dosage, Spooky leaked out her own primal aura! Her unfathomable godly aura slowly wrapped around Xue Shi's body, causing surprise for her.

Her eyes were widening in shock, however, not for the reason Spooky thinks. Of course, she felt the dangerous threat from this blue girl dramatically increase all at once.

At any second, her body and mind were ready for a battle. But there was a key element Xue Shi didn't expect to sense from Spooky's aura. Yes...there was no mistaking it!

Parts of her aura were precisely the same as that shameless guy aura! Furthermore, in her soul's depths, it was small, but she felt a familiar feeling with this aura?

Like this girl was somehow connected to herself! Upon this realization, some things began to make sense for Xue Shi. But still, there was one central roaring question in her mind.

"You...just what is your connection to him?" The him she was referring to was obviously Luke. Already, Xue Shi was also feeling slightly sour about this blue girl.

Who could've guessed another Spirit lived inside Luke?

It was impossible for Xue Shi to ever know before. Yet it didn't mean she had to like it knowing it now. But at least when mentioning Luke, Xue Shi felt that dangerous primal aura turn down.

Spooky suddenly didn't feel like pressuring this girl that much anymore. After all, Luke was waiting for some time for this moment. And she also couldn't be bothered with continuing this.

In terms of age and experience, she was the far superior senior here. And thinking about this point, Spooky smile grew slightly mischievous.

"I am...your roommate. More importantly, I am the Senior Spirit inside of Luke. And going by your people's terms, this makes you the junior to me." Now Spooky's voice went back to her normal, sweetly cute one.

But that sweet cute voice did nothing to quell the rising anger inside of Xue Shi. Junior to this girl? There's no way she'll ever accept that! Plus, this girl looks even younger than her!

"Daring to call this Queen a junior? Seems like you're the one that needs to be taught a lesson!" Xue Shi held out her cute little fists in an attempt to be menacing.

No matter who weird this blue girl aura was, it can't match the might of pure Asura Spirit Power! And Xue Shi was ready to go against anyone that would dare look down on her.

Seeing the rising tension to fight, Spooky decided to put a stop to this now. Killing this little girl now would undoubtedly cause distress in Luke. But Spooky did find it amusing to mess with this girl.

"Already you're proving to be an eager junior, are we? But I can't stay and chat. Farewell...for now." Spooky said and vanished from Xue Shi's sight without giving her any chance to respond.

Left alone in the warm blue Spiritual World, Xue Shi still felt sour about that meeting.

Everything about that blue girl irked her to no end. Plus, there was that tremendous feeling of danger that girl just naturally had about her.

"No matter how annoying that girl is... I'm obviously the superior Spirit to her! She'll soon understand her ignorance…" Xue Shi grumbled to herself, already deciding upon a new goal.

Next time they meet, she sure as hell won't be in such a compromising position. Daring to underestimate a Queen is a huge gross mistake…

….

While Luke's two Spirits were meeting each other, he had opened his eyes to find himself back in the profound purple cave. Watching the girls, he notices their eyes shuttering, meaning their awakening soon.

Focusing back on himself, Luke felt immensely good right now. He had just formed a contract with one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen. And she was a powerful Asura Spirit!

Luke knew the potential of Xue Shi is insanely high.

In her original universe, she crazily jumped up ranks with her heaven-defying Asura Spirit powers. Now in this universe, Asura power seems to be significantly enhanced.

Moreover, in the future, when they grow closer and stronger, Luke reckons he could get better at combining Asura Spirit Power with his own attacks.

Everything had bode well...but there was this odd feeling coming from the depths of his body. It was like two opposing forces had just met up, and both had mixed reactions.

Sensing more into this feeling, Luke was able to tell this was his independent Spirit World! And he didn't need to be a genius to know what those two forces were.

His only question was, just what was Spooky up to now? He hoped she wasn't too troublesome to Xue Shi. During his musing, Luke spotted Andrea was the first one to fully wake back up.

Her expression wasn't much different from her usual calm one. But Luke did see a hint of curiosity from the depths of her eyes. Though to anyone else, nobody would be able to spot that kind of minuscule difference.

However, when looking over to Luke, Andrea was able to tell the immediate change in bearing from him. His pleasant grin and eager eyes told Andrea everything she needed to know.

"Manage to score another beautiful girl under your blue hands?" Andrea jested to Luke while walking over to the cave treasure boxes.

Nowadays, she just wonders if her cousin and his ghost will have a limit on how many women they manage to get. It was amusing to think about how her weird little cousin can score three beauties simultaneously.

Luke only brightly smile at his chiding cousin, telling her, "I didn't score in the way you're thinking, but I did manage to form a contract with a beautiful girl. She's quite the feisty one. What about you? Did you have the same luck as me?"

"Maybe...surprisingly enough, my Asura Spirit can also be considered quite the beauty. She's more of a straight-laced person, but she's decently powerful."

Andrea answered back while sorting out how many treasure boxes were under the translucent jade tablet. She didn't mention it, but inside her independent Spirit World, she did feel a commotion.

Yet it wasn't as much of a hard clash compared to what Luke felt in his Spirit World.

Promptly when Andrea had finished talking, Qingyue, Lingxi, and Cang Yue all flashed their eyes open. And Luke was able to clearly see apparent excitement in all of their eyes.

Lingxi and Cang Yue appeared to be the most ecstatic about their new World Spirits. Qingyue didn't have the same bright enthusiasm, but she had a lovely smile that brightened her face.

Walking up to the girls, Luke asked them, "I can already tell by your excited faces, the breakthrough and World Spirit was a success?"

"Mnh! My Asura Spirit is one of the most beautiful women I ever saw in my life! And she's also crazily strong!" Lingxi told him with an exciting pep in her tone.

Unlike how Luke and Andrea could just easily enter in the Spirit Worlds, the girls could not. Lingxi had instead gone inside her Spiritual World once breaking through to the blue cloak realm.

Her Spirit World was mainly a hypnotizing black color and exuded a warm, gentle aura. In her Spirit World, Lingxi only waited until a calm, soft voice called out to her.

And from there, she managed to easily form a contract with yet another beautiful Asura World Spirit.

"I believe this is a pattern...my Asura Spirit also held a beautiful appearance. On top of that, she was at the Sky Lord Realm." Qingyue told as she thought about her own Spirit World.

Compared to the others, her Spirit World was of dazzling light blue color with hints of purple in it. Furthermore, her Spirit World held colder temperatures that didn't cause any discomfort for her.

"Can you all guess what my World Spirit is?" Cang Yue posed a question in her usual enchanting teasing voice. And it was then Luke, Qingyue, and Lingxi realized something.

They honestly didn't even know what kind of World Spiritists Cang Yue was! Luke just never really put that much thought into it, but now he was curious. After all, he can't rely on cannon knowledge here.

"Umm...is it, I think they were called, an Elf World Spirit? Elves are usually described as being really kind and beautiful!" Lingxi threw out her suggestion, to which Cang Yue gently shook her head.

"I've read about some from Yuanba, do you have a Ghost World Spirit? They are intelligent and crafty." Qingyue gave hers, and Cang Yue once again shook her head.

"How about a Fairy World Spirit? It suits your mysterious and teasing nature." Luke told his answer since Cang Yue really does seem like a fairy in appearance.

Though every beautiful girl in this universe had a fairy-like beauty.

Nevertheless, when Luke saw Cang Yue put her hand on her lips with a giggling expression, he knew he was right.

"Fufufu~, I expected you to be right. Yes, I do have a Fairy World Spirit, and she falls into the same trend of being strikingly beautiful and powerful. I think we don't even need to ask what your World Spirit is like, do we Luke~?"

Cang Yue's Spirit World was primarily in soothing white light. It held vibrant, refreshing energy that could fuel even the laziest of people. Focusing on Luke, though, the girls already had based ideas.

All three of them had gained knowing smiles. They could even guess what kind of World Spirit Luke would have before getting his.

Holding his hands up, Luke told them, "It's not my fault that a beautiful Asura Spirit got attracted to my powers. Besides, you all seemed to be falling into my luck anyways."

"I finished counting up the stuff inside these boxes. There's an abundance of energy here for all us to break through one or two times or so. Shall we claim our final reward now?"

Andrea had stood near the translucent jade tablet while talking. Luke and the girls shifted their eyes towards the tablet with a final goal in mind.

"Alright, after this, let's leave this tomb once and for all!" Luke said as he got near the tablet. Sensing it, no Spirit Power was running around it, but Luke was still cautious for anything to activate.

And when Luke had put a single finger on the tablet, everything changed! The whole cave ignited in a dazzling purple light causing,

'Chi!'

An instantaneous purple flash that teleported everyone and everything out of the tomb…

….

Outside on the plain fields, a brilliant purple flash lit up the area for miles. And out from the flash were five surprised youths, several treasure boxes, and one translucent jade tablet.

They all blinked around for a second coming to understand what just happened.

Everything just happened too fast! There was no course of Spirit Power, yet some mysterious power had transported them out the tomb.

After getting his bearings quickly, Luke put all of the treasure boxes and the jade tablet inside his spatial ring. Much better and safer than being out in the open.

"Jeez, talk about an abrupt ending. I couldn't even blink before we got here." Lingxi remarked while she and the other girls were still getting the bearing.

Luke just shrugged his shoulders after he finished putting everything away. His beat seal began to lit up as he said, "At least we don't have to find our way out of the tomb now."

As he spoke, his huge snow eagle appeared before them. Immediately everyone hopped back on the snow eagle, getting into their usual comfortable position.

Only this time, while Qingyue and Lingxi claim Luke's usual spot of being on his shoulder. Cang Yue leaned more onto his thigh rather intimately. Andrea still sat comfortably at the back.

Feeling all three soft heavenly bodies clinging on to him, Luke couldn't feel more at bliss.

With a smile, he patted his snow eagle back, telling it,

"Let's get back on course for Seven Wind Imperial City!"
