2221 Senior, you only need to raise the average attractiveness of our group
This blobfish-like water beast was the result of millions of mutations that those ornamental pets had gone through.
This creature had never seen the Scholarly Sage, nor had it ever encountered the Sage’s eye.
Nevertheless, the fear in its genes, which had been passed down from generation to generation, erupted at this moment.
Unfortunately, it was too late to escape.
The moment its fat body jumped out of the water and met Song Shuhang’s eyes, it was done for.
Song Shuhang said majestically, “The time has come to witness whether you are an expert or not!”
Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair, which was on top of his head, became a tick mark.
It was obviously just a name change, but calling the move “Expert’s Appraisal” rather than “Impregnating Gaze” felt so much better. The meaning behind the move had changed completely… This was why choosing a proper name for something was very important.
Behind him, Sister White Dragon whispered to Sixteen, “Are you betting big or small?”
Sixteen looked puzzled. “What big or small?”
Is Sister White Dragon betting on how big this mutated water beast’s belly will become?
“I bet big,” answered Skylark.
“Me too,” said Thrice Reckless Mad Saber quickly.
Sister White Dragon grinned and said, “Then, I’ll bet small. I believe that the Expert’s Appraisal will result in a single-child pregnancy unlike the Twins Impregnating Gaze or any of the other gazes that are of higher level. And for fish, to be pregnant with one child would mean to only carry a single fish roe. Therefore, I bet that this mutated water beast’s belly won’t grow in size at all.”
Sixteen said, “I’m of the same opinion as Sister White Dragon. I bet small.”
On the side, Senior White thought for a while and said, “I bet…”
“Shh~ Fellow Daoist White, don’t say anything,” said Skylark while placing her finger in front of her mouth.
Senior White looked puzzled.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber patted his chest and said, “Senior White only needs to raise the average of our group’s attractiveness and prevent Shuhang from lowering it. You should leave the gambling to us.”
Once Senior White participated in the betting, the game would be completely unplayable.
Senior White: “…”
He felt wronged.
Seeing this, Sixteen thought for a while, then quietly took a few steps back, distancing herself from Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber so as to not be affected by any disasters.
Sister White Dragon mentally approved of Sixteen for her cautious behavior.
Meanwhile, at the front, Song Shuhang wished he could turn around and send out another Expert’s Appraisal, this time at Senior Thrice Reckless. What does he mean by ‘and prevent Shuhang from lowering it’?!
Besides that, the mutated water beast in front of him seemed to be somewhat strange.
After it received the Expert’s Appraisal, it floated on the water’s surface, screaming in pain and fear. However, the effect of the technique was not reflected in its body at all!
Normally, after seeing the light from the Sage’s eye, the effect of the Impregnating Gaze would become apparent within ten seconds at most.
But now, Senior White and the others behind him had already finished talking, yet there were no signs of pregnancy on the mutated water beast.
Pavilion Master Chu guessed, “Could it have inherited some antibodies?”
“It would be impossible even for me to develop antibodies to something like this,” replied Song Shuhang, and Shuhang was very confident about his body’s ability to produce antibodies and resistance.
While they were talking, something finally happened to the mutated water beast.
Its body began to inflate and expand like a pufferfish.
It quickly swelled into a sphere.
“It seems that you are not a peerless expert.” The virtuous lamia quickly emerged from behind Song Shuhang and said in a cold voice.
Not wanting to be outdone, Fairy Creation came out with great momentum. “Song~ Stupid!”
Song Shuhang: “???”
Fairy Creation, I don’t mind you snatching my lines, but why did you have to insult me?
But seeing that Fairy Creation was still alive and kicking, Song Shuhang felt relieved as he did not know how to comfort her after the failed resurrection of the four Tribulation Transcenders.
“It seems that I have won,” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said confidently. “Even if it is a stone tire, it will swell after being hit by the Impregnating Gaze, let alone a mere water beast.”
Sister White Dragon turned into a scarf, wrapped herself around Sixteen’s neck, and said with a smile, “I admit my loss. As the price for my loss, I can do you and Fairy Skylark a small favor. If you ever need something from me, just contact me.”
Senior White looked at everyone resentfully.
He pointed to the belly of the fish and said, “Then allow me to be the dealer of another bet. How many babies are in the belly of this water beast? If you guess right, I will give you a box of virtuous fruits. Do not use your divine sense or any magical techniques to scan the water beast.”
His virtuous tree had borne fruit once more, which was perfect to give out as the prize to whoever guessed right.
“One child?” In the belly of the virtuous lamia, the voice of the black Scarlet Heaven Sword sounded.
“Wait!” Sixteen noticed a key point and asked, “Is the water beast really pregnant?”
Shuhang’s Expert’s Appraisal was only supposed to have its target experience the pain of pregnancy, but it did not actually have the ghastly effect of making the target pregnant.
Could it be that this water beast had a special physique, which made it so that after being hit by the Expert’s Appraisal, it would really become pregnant?
Sister White Dragon patted Sixteen lightly and smiled. “Fellow Daoist White only asked us to bet on how many babies there are in its stomach. He never said that it was the effect of Shuhang’s Impregnating Gaze.”
“I’m guessing that there are two babies.” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber thought about it and said, “The members of the Ancient Heavenly City and the Venerable Emperor’s subordinates have tampered with the Scholarly Sage’s resurrection formation. An important thing to take note of is that inside this mutated water beast, there are two rays of light, corresponding to the energies of the Heavenly Emperor and the Venerable Emperor.”
Sixteen took a look, and sure enough, she saw two rays of light shining in the bulging belly of the water beast.
The brightness of the two rays of light was comparable, and they seemed to be fighting.
Sister White Dragon nodded. “Indeed, one of the rays of light belongs to the Heavenly Emperor.”
And there was no question that the light that was clashing with that of the Heavenly Emperor was the Venerable Emperor’s.
Sixteen asked, “Then, are we also going to bet that there are two?”
On the side, Skylark stretched out three fingers and said, “I bet that there are three as you guys have already placed bets on one and two. Considering Fellow Daoist White’s luck, it would be best for us to avoid guessing the same number twice to avoid being killed by the dealer.”
“That makes sense. Then, I’ll bet that there are four babies,” said Sister White Dragon.
“Okay, then I’ll bet that there are five babies,” answered Sixteen casually.
Senior White: “…”
Ahead of them, Song Shuhang had a solemn look on his face.
In the mutated water beast, the information belonging to the Heavenly Emperor and the Venerable Emperor was in a fierce fight against one another. The information belonging to him was completely suppressed by the other two.
This was very normal, as he was the weakest of the three parties.
But when his information was suppressed, the information belonging to the Heavenly Emperor and the Venerable Emperor actually began to encroach on his portion.
This encroachment faintly extended to his body.
If he allowed the Heavenly Emperor’s and the Venerable Emperor’s information to continue to fight, he would also be implicated.
“In that case, don’t blame me for being rude.” Song Shuhang put his hand on his forehead.
The eye gifted to him by the three-eyed young man opened.
