Chapter 131: Breakneck Speeds

A relaxed, content smile found its way on Darcel as he was immensely enjoying his current predicament. 

In front of him, a soft weight leaned all into him, getting mighty comfortable there. The gentle weight who began to softly giggle while enjoying her setup was, in fact, Yasami. 

Darcel was bold enough to have his hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her in closer to him.

And to his small surprise, Yasami didn't complain about it. All she did was utter a quiet, "perverse" before making herself cozy. 

Warmth spread through both of them, and Darcel was more than ever sure of something.

Somewhere around Yasami's waist, Darcel can feel the softness of her tail shifting around in her robe while she sits on his lap. Although, Darcel would have to say tails? 

He was also sure it felt two things shifting around from Yasami's waist.

From behind him, a soft weight also pressed tightly on to Darcel's back. The gentle weight had clutched tightly around his neck, inhaling his intoxicating scent like it was a divine fragrance.

Of course, this soft weight was Aniela. She had her head on Darcel's shoulder, leaning all of her weight on to him. 

Amazingly enough, Aniela had actually first opted to be in this position claiming, "I love Darcy scent!"

Darcel, of course, didn't mind it at all. And compared to Yasami's warmth of her sitting on his lap, Aniela sent slight tingles down Darcel's spine with every hot sexy breath she released.

Furthermore, the soft squishy sensation of her magnificent breasts almost ignited the desires of Darcel's lust. But, Darcel had excellent control over his body and could control his surging lust.

What Darcel, Aniela, and Yasami were currently sitting on for this situation was a large snow lizard extending over eight feet wide in length. 

The snow lizard was entirely in pure white color, matching the beautiful blanket of snow that spread throughout the whole Plunged Tundra.

However, the most extraordinary aspect of the snow lizard was the fact it actually had fur! 

At least that's what Darcel identified it has. Covering the whole snow lizard's back was a cover of fur comparable to a Spirit Monster wolf fur's soft and fluffiness.

More so, Darcel could kind of compare it to the fluffy fur inside Yasami's fox ears. 

But, not even stemming from his own personal feelings, Yasami's fox ears were actually far softer and more fluffy than this lizard's fur.

Though, for what it's worth, the lizards' fur was comfortable enough to sit and relax into. Darcel underestimates the Beast Trading Center on the possibility they have when breeding special Spirit Monsters.

Their snow lizard was also a sixth rank Innate Core being! 

And though its prowess may be extremely weak, it's speed is unimaginable for its rank. 

The snow lizard was currently gaining its bearing as it took its footsteps in the Wild Snow area. Darcel's group was only several meters from Mawold Town, almost ready to leave for their mission.

While the snow lizard gained its bearing, Darcel was thinking to himself. 

His attention had gathered on a blue, glowing cylinder shape crystal in his hand. 'The Beast Taming crystal huh….there's more to this thing than they're letting on. We need to get one permanently for our team….' 

Darcel had received the Beast Teaming crystal as the exchange for renting out a Beast mount.

From what he was told, this crystal would last at most a week before running out of power. And for as long they held onto the crystal. The Beast Trading Center would be able to accurately hunt them down just in case they decide to never return the snow lizard.

Besides the crystal's remarkable tracking abilities, the primary use for this thing was for the snow lizard right under Darcel's group laps. 

It didn't matter what order Darcel could give; the snow lizard will follow it without question.

Darcel had already imprinted a small portion of his soul energy into the Beast Taming crystal for the snow lizard to recognize it as its new master. 

And with just pouring a tiny bit of his Qi plus his Spirit Sense into the crystal, Darcel could guide the snow lizard in any direction he wants.

It was almost like having auto transportation as the snow lizard memorized the route it's supposed to go on and travel out without a moment's rest. 

After taking one look at Aniela and Yasami again to see they're both cozy and ready, Darcel was also prepared to leave.

'Alright, let's put it to te-' 

Darcel was beginning to pour in his Qi into the Beast Taming crystal and detail the direction to go until his Spirit Senses spiked.

On instinct, Darcel perked up a bit but kept his eyes forward. 

"Hmmm?" Aniela and Yasami utter out slightly confused grunts. In their relaxed, warm state, Aniela and Yasami didn't even pick up why Darcel suddenly perked up.

But as their attention focused up, 

"Oh?" Aniela was the more vocal one as she squeaked out a voice of interest. 

Yasami, though, sat up a bit straight, feeling her Spirit Sense suddenly spike just like Darcel's.

For a brief moment, the trio scoped out on what was making their Spirit Sense spike up. But not even a half of a second later, a large smirk broke out on all three of their faces.

"Well, well~. Seems like we may have another fan following us. Though, this one seems to be the most zealous one ever. Should we just make their wish come true already?" 

Aniela was shifting around on Darcel's neck while whispering her hot sexy breath into his ears.

As the soothing pleasure of Aniela's breath sailed down Darcel's body, he had also felt Yasami leaned back into his chest. 

She began cracking her knuckles, boldly saying, "And like the last wishes, the same thing will be granted this time, right? Heh, they actually got more of my interest this time." 

Though Aniela and Yasami seemed to be in a similar sentiment, neither made any definitive statement. As they both were waiting for Darcel's output on this matter. 

Darcel was contemplating it for a brief second and found something a bit amusing. Even though he never said it or tried to establish it in any way, Aniela and Yasami would wait for his decision.

And most of the time, they would follow through with his decision after some general discussion. 

Darcel never really put much thought into their line of decision making since he saw Aniela and Yasami as his equals. And if they were to make a decision, he would one hundred percent back it up.

But in some sort of way, Darcel guessed he had some kind of leadership role in their team. 

In any case, Darcel pushed those thoughts down for later and gave out his opinion like he usually does.

"This time….we should have a bit more fun with this one. Let's see if our fan would still want to follow us after we do this mission." Darcel felt Aniela's breath become a bit more excited, obviously fancying this idea.

"Oooh! Now that sounds like fun. If only we can see their reaction when we finish this." Aniela whispered, getting Yasmai to ponder the idea. 

"I wonder if it'll actually scare them off, though? Eh. Actually thinking about it, that would take common sense from them, so that's a no."

Aniela began to quietly chuckle since she knew the common sense train of thought isn't all that presented when equating cultivators' high egos and pride. 

Darcel also smiled, agreeing with Yasami's sentiment, and directed his gaze back down to the Beast Taming crystal.

"Well then, saddle up comfortably, girls. We're taking off now." Darcel told the girl, and they both delightfully did so. 

Aniela and Yasami contently sighed while leaning back on Darcel, feeling so cozy under their shared soul link bonds.

Once the girls were set in stone, Darcel had then poured a tiny portion of his Qi into the Beast Taming crystal along with his Spirit Sense. 

Immediately the snow lizard eyes ignited in a bright, glorious blue shade!

Power coursed inside the snow's lizard legs, and right then, 

'Hua!' 

The snow lizard blasted off at breakneck speeds! The snow lizard unhinderedly tore through the snow, quickly becoming a white dot in the distance.

And only merely a few seconds after, another bright red flash illuminated the area just where Darcel's group was. 

When the flash appeared, another lizard beast mount took off, heading right in the direction Darcel's group was running to.

….

Everything went by in a white blurring flash for Darcel's eyes. 

Surprise and intrigue swirled in his mind as he grossly underestimated these extraordinary bred Spirit Monsters' speeds.

Darcel held one hundred percent confidence in killing the snow lizard in merely one move using only the bare minimum of his Yin Spiritual State.

However, Darcel's confidence became shaky in whether or not he can actually outspeed this snow lizard. He reckons he would need to go all out just to barely match the snow lizard speed.

They were going so fast to the point Darcel was sure they were nearing breaking the sound barrier! 

However, looking back at Aniela, she seemed perfectly content on practically ignoring the monstrous speed of the snow lizard.

Her eyes were closed, and her breath was even as she still tightly clung around Darcel's neck. She was satisfied in merely basking in the exhilarating feeling of traveling so fast.

Aniela's long flowing white hair majestically swayed in the wind from the speeds they were going. That, combined with her resting face, made Aniela even more beautiful than she already is.

Darcel found it a bit odd that only Aniela's hair was reacting to the speed, but he assumed that was just Aniela's own doing in surging her Qi. 

For Darcel, Aniela and Yasami, their bodies were already incredibly tough, even tougher than most magical steel materials.

So all they needed to do was use a little bit of Qi to stabilize themselves over traveling near the speeds of reaching the sound barrier. 

Though Darcel did note, at this breakneck speed, it was practically impossible to fight.

And if he were to get careless, he could easily get flung off the snow lizard if he stopped using his Qi. 

Despite the risks, though, Aniela was enjoying every second of the breakneck speed.

Looking down at Yasami, who was still leaning into his chest, she too went still in tranquility. If Darcel were to pull her hoodie off, he would assume that her eyes were also close. 

Sometimes, Darcel can even pick up light sighs leaking from her mouth, indicating her contentment in relaxing.

The main reason all three of them could relax like this was because there wasn't a single Innate Core Spirit Monster who could keep up with the snow lizard. 

Every Spirit Monster that came up to attack was promptly left far behind in the snow lizard's dust.

Two whole days of traveling like this already pass. 

And while Darcel, Aniela, and Yasami did engage in some amusing talks, they all were happy to just silently enjoy the long travel.

It was at times like this Darcel remembered his appreciation for Qi and their bodies evolving with each cultivation realm they broke into. All three of them could go for weeks on end without food or water.

And though a lot of cultivators in early realms tend to sleep into the night. It isn't actually necessary at all to even sleep. 

Starting from the True Soul Core realm and beyond, cultivators can also go for a week without proper sleep.

Although, it is undeniable that properly sleeping and eating is useful for cultivators to have a more proper well-rested mind and attitudes. 

Darcel couldn't accurately count the time, but finally, after two swift days, a blue shine reflected in his eyes.

The familiar blue icy road of the Plunged Tundra was quickly approaching them. And Darcel knew they had finally neared their destination. 

Darcel began to pour Qi into the Beast Taming crystal, making the snow lizard slow down as it approached the icy road.

Once the snow lizard had finally touchdown on the icy road, its speed stopped to a crawl. Darcel quickly trailed his eyes on this lone ice road. Admittedly, Darcel expected something like a change of scenery since they're so far gone from Mawold Town.

But just like the multiple roads leading to Mawold Town, everything over here was still the same pure white blanket of snow. Even the designs of the icy blue road didn't change in any way.

Darcel couldn't focus on the scenery for long, though, as he felt Aniela immediately shift around on his back.
