The Harem is Growing Stronger
🕑 Added 2023-08-09 11:15:01 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 147 ---
After Yafei obtained her Diamond-Tempered Behemoth's Variant, Baek Ain's other lovers demanded the same things.
And surprisingly, Lan Rou is actually the one who demanded Behemoth's Variant to enhance her cultivation speed. Yi Xian, who was supposed to be the most playful in the group, somehow chose to be the last.
The process didn't take long, as the Yin-Yang Synthesizing Sutra worked wonderfully. Lan Rou's adaptation of Baek Ain's Bloodline Essence is faster than Yafei, allowing her to grasp it in half a day.
On the other hand, Yi Xian has a problem because her Heavenly Poison Body clashes with Baek Ain's Bloodline Essence. It took her two days to create a synchronization between the two.
Their status looks like this.

...
Yafei, Yi Xian, and Lan Rou compete against each other.
Yafei remained in the forest and spread her Diamond Threads, placing up arrays at incredible speed. Of course, she didn't stay passive and launched several attacks at Yi Xian and Yafei.
Clank!
Yi Xian hardened her fingers and attacked the Diamond Threads, which created a spark. She frowned because the durability and tenacity of Yafei's threads had increased by a leap.
However, she wasn't the only one who got a massive boost.
Yi Xian's fingernail released a vicious green liquid as she successfully snapped one of the threads. She kept attacking and failed to realize Yafei was setting her into a trap array.
'Fuck!" She stepped on the ground and watched the dirt release a blinking glow.
BOOM!
Yi Xian was blasted by an explosion, gritting her teeth because she forgot that Yafei was a damned Array Master.
"You should be more careful." A voice suddenly entered Yi Xian's ears.
Yi Xian recognized Lan Rou's voice and complained, "Oh, come on! You two are bullying me!"
"Star Calling!" Yi Xian was desperate.
Clank!
Lan Rou pulled a short sword from her back and swung it against Yi Xian, only to find it stuck in the air. Star Energy revolved around Yi Xian's body, creating a small vortex.
"Heh." She was amused.
Lan Rou waved her slender hand, summoning mists and changing their shapes into sharp weapons.
"Orchid's Fragrance." She lowered her hand, causing these weapon-shaped mist to rain the area.
Yi Xian strengthened her leg and disappeared from the area, leaving some afterimages to dodge Lan Rou's large area attack. She cursed herself for not having a long-range attack.
Lan Rou was about to chase after Yi Xian when a fox-like creature made of diamond suddenly appeared and slammed its claw at her.
She clenched her hand and punched the air, "Orchid's Wave."
A ripple got generated by Lan Rou's punch and developed into a powerful shockwave.
BOOM!
The claw and shockwave made contact, creating these weird muffled rupture sounds.
The fox-like creature crumbled into diamond dust, leaving Lan Rou in a weird spot because she expected it to be stronger than this.
"Wait-!"
"This cheeky lass..." Lan Rou's eyes blinked in awe as the diamond dust suddenly gathered back into an ape.
BAM!
The ape slammed its arm against Lan Rou's body.
Yafei smirked in the shadow because the Diamond Beast's ability from her Diamond-Tempered Behemoth's Bloodline allowed her to create and assemble a beast from diamond dust or treasure.
They are like puppets in her hands, perfectly in unison with her Rotating Diamond Threads Technique. This feeling of pride also deafened her spiritual sense a little, which was enough for Yi Xian to approach her.
"Poison Star Domain!" Yi Xian took her chance and activated her new ability.
Yafei locked her fingers in a specific pattern, activating some arrays to protect herself. To her surprise, the Poison Star Domain weighted the surrounding area tenfold and literally poisoned it.
The air didn't change color, but Yafei knew she couldn't breathe. All her pores gained diamond-like quality, resisting the poison.
Yafei gave Yi Xian a questioning gaze, 'My skin is going to get itchy, you know?'
Feeling Yafei's gaze, Yi Xian smiled and shrugged, 'Everything is fair in love and war.'
Meanwhile, Lan Rou recovered from the diamond ape's smash and kicked the air. She arrived at Yafei's hidden spot and noticed the thick Star Power and Poison in the atmosphere.
"Truth-Seeking." The mist around Lan Rou's palm turned into a genuine lance made of metal and released a divine-like luster.
She pulled her right arm and flexed her back muscle, throwing the lance down.
SWOOSH!
'Danger!' Yafei and Yi Xian thoughts simultaneously.
As the lance traveled down quickly, Yafei's defensive formation and Yi Xian's poison couldn't affect it. Even if they did destroy the lance, the energy left behind by it was enough to cause substantial damage.
So, no. Yafei and Yi Xian decided to dodge.
"Star Calling!"
"Diamond's Beast!"
Yafei and Yi Xian escaped from the lance, landing a hundred meters away from Lan Rou. They used their Spatial Strength and teleported away.
But their relief soon changes into disbelief.
"I win."
Plak! Plak!
Yafei and Yi Xian felt their foreheads smacked by something.
"OUCH! That hurts!!"
"My head..."
They covered their red foreheads and saw Lan Rou blowing her fingers casually. "It's my win." She said with a smile.
Yafei and Yi Xian glanced at each other bitterly, falling to the ground in annoyance. Their strengths increased by leaps, but the same goes for Lan Rou.
They can't compete with her. It's just too much.
"Your mastery over Spatial Strength is still too poor." Lan Rou pointed out their weakness immediately. "When you used Spatial Strength to teleport, you left a residue behind or more in the correct term, a "Fluctuation." that can get traced."
"Unless you can erase this fluctuation, you might as well combine Spatial Strength with your movement technique. If you don't have a compatible movement technique, ask Ain for one compatible with your new constitution."
"You're saying that as if I'm a free Dou Technique generator." Baek Ain sighed while landing near them.
Lan Rou tilted her head and returned in confusion. "You're not?"
"You can create Dou Techniques and many others like no tomorrow, right?"
"Can you just clap your hands, and a technique appears?"
Faced with such questions, Baek Ain was speechless. Lan Rou wasn't wrong, but her mindset is too blatant.
"That's not how my ability works."
"I still have to do my research..."
Baek Ain couldn't help but rub his forehead helplessly, and didn't know whether he should laugh or cry at this very moment.
"By the way, Cai Lin should be out of seclusion soon." Baek Ain changed the topic of conversation.
As soon as he finished his words, thunderclouds appeared in the sky, and a storm raged through the surrounding mountains.
Two images manifested from thin air. The first one was a Nine-Colored Python hissing at the sky, and the other was a unique beast with the appearance of a purple-furred ape with ox-like horns and a meaty serpentine tail roaring at the world.
Ding!
A status page appeared before Baek Ain's eyes. His expression froze for a moment before melting with a relieved smile.
