I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"Wait a minute, something's not right?"

"Yan Ziming... Yan Ziming... So if we want to pursue Xiaoxuan, won't we have to get past her first?"

"Tsk!"

Si Mo's face fell. After doing such a thing, would her mother really allow her to get close to her daughter?

"Tch! What are you afraid of? If she dares to disagree, she can forget about being with our daughter!"

This is just psychological comfort. If Ye Qianxue had to choose between Si Mo and Yan Zimo, the result would be obvious. Now that Yan Zimo has grown up, she really doesn't have many options left.

Furthermore, Si Mo felt that even if Yan Zi Mo didn't pursue her behavior today, she still wouldn't approve of this marriage.

—The generational hierarchy is too chaotic.

Oh dear, this generational hierarchy is so confusing it's making Simo dizzy!

"That's it! At worst, we'll just force ourselves on you again...?!"

Si Mo suddenly felt her body tremble. When she came to her senses, she found that Liu Mengxian was already looking in her direction, and their eyes met.

Liu Mengxian smiled.

In an instant, Si Mo felt a chill run down her spine.

In the darkness, it seemed that Liu Mengxian was conveying this meaning to her.

—Are you coming or not? If you're not coming, then we'll extinguish your hopes completely.

39. Yeah, it was pretty sudden.

Visibly, Mo Xin's figure was gradually becoming more solid, and a sharpness emanated from her, extending vertically.

The ground was riddled with gullies, but they were not wide, only about two fingers' width, yet they were neat and smooth, forming a straight line that stretched into the distance.

An oppressive atmosphere, unique to that level, permeated the air.

"Success."

Mo Sheng's eyes lit up with joy. Based on her experience, Mo Xin had undoubtedly broken through to the ninth level.

With this, China will gain another ninth-rank expert, making the entire country more powerful than ever before!

As time passed, Mo Xin slowly stretched out her curled-up body, opened her eyes, and saw a group of people surrounding her.

"babble?!"

She was taken aback; this was the first time she had ever experienced such a grand reception.

"Xin'er, congratulations."

Liu Mengxian smiled gently, and Ye Qianxue jumped up and hugged Mo Xin tightly.

"Mo Xin, even if you break through to the ninth rank, you'll still have to acknowledge me as your older sister!"

"Ha...Of course, Sister Chiyuki..."

The surge of power within her body, and the presence of something she couldn't normally see in her vision, told her that she had reached the pinnacle.

All of this is thanks to Yan Zimo.

Where is Zimo?

She suddenly came to her senses and noticed the dense lightning element around her, as well as the shimmering, streamlined object hanging in the lightning waterfall.

—Raichee

Looking at the streamlined object that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Mo Xin felt a sense of bewilderment.

Or rather, it can no longer be called Raikiri, because its appearance has changed drastically, and even its aura is so unfamiliar.

hum-

The swirling lightning elements that permeated the surroundings suddenly froze, then, as if time were rewinding, retreated and concentrated at a single point, gradually forming a humanoid silhouette.

Then, the streamlined object was fixed at the position of the humanoid silhouette's spine, and as the humanoid silhouette solidified, it was gradually obscured by the light.

All of this happened in less than a second, and then Yan Ziming appeared.

Her expression was also strange; she didn't seem to want to congratulate Mo Xin at all, and she just stared at Mo Xin blankly.

"what happened?"

Almost half of the people present shared this view.

However, Yan Ziming's expression changed again the next second.

Within her body, a peculiar heat emanated from her limbs and every corner of her body, converging at her torso...

Yan Ziming was shocked to discover that this heat was actually streams of incredibly pure life energy!

How pure is it?

Only the life energy contained within a sequence-level crystal nucleus can be compared to it.

What's going on? Could it be that I haven't fully digested the Aurora Crystal Core yet? And some of it has become redundant in my body?

This phenomenon didn't last long, only a few seconds, before it all settled on her torso; her spine felt hot and warm, which spread throughout her body.

Immediately afterwards, she felt something inside her body throb and emit a vibration.

Having lived through ten years in this post-apocalyptic world, Yan Ziming, with his wealth of experience, knew that this fluctuation was a fluctuation of life itself.

Huh? Life fluctuations?

Life fluctuations, unlike life energy, are fluctuations that only occur after a new life has been formed.

In short, it means alive.

After a moment of stunned silence, Yan Ziming panicked.

There are other life forces within my body? And... they even carry my presence?!

She still remembered everything that had happened: Mo Xin breaking through to the ninth rank, then the Thunder Cutter undergoing a dramatic transformation and merging back into her body...

"You may leave for a moment."

Liu Mengxian looked at Mo Sheng and the others, including Mu Mu and Ye Qianxue.

"But--"

"Okay, listen to me, come with me."

As Yan Ziming's bedmate, Ye Qianxue desperately wanted to know what had happened, but Mu Mu grabbed her by the back of her collar and disappeared with Mo Sheng and Luo Li.

At this moment, only Yan Ziming, Liu Mengxian, Feiju Xi, and Mo Xin remained standing here.

No, there are five.

"You'll have three seconds."

Liu Mengxian turned her head toward a dark corner, from which a small figure emerged—Simo.

Yan Ziming's expression changed the moment he saw her. If this matter was related to Si Mo, then it would be the worst possible outcome.

What is the goal this sadistic little girl has been trying to achieve with herself? It boils down to two words—pregnancy.

"Simo, what exactly happened?" Yan Zimo asked with a serious face.

Si Mo helplessly spread her hands, walked up to Yan Ziming, her petite body hovering at shoulder height, placed her hand on Yan Ziming's shoulder, and sighed deeply.

Just as you guessed.

"Oh no——————!!! You bastard, what have you done?!"

In despair, Yan Ziming grabbed Si Mo's face and ripped it hard. The force was so great that even a rag doll would have been torn to shreds, but Si Mo's face was incredibly tough and elastic, enduring such torment without changing expression.

"Huh? So that means Zimo is pregnant?!"

"Pregnant?"

Mo Xin, who was standing to the side, was stunned! And there was also the useless Xi. Although she didn't understand the meaning of the word, she just repeated it in confusion.

Don't you think you need to give an explanation?

Liu Mengxian's voice was cold and chilling, making Si Mo tremble.

"Ahhh, calm down, calm down! It's not a pregnancy in the traditional sense, it's...it's...yes, that's right! It's like creating a spirit again!"

Si Mo frantically waved her hands and spoke incoherently, as if afraid that Liu Mengxian might vanish from the face of the earth if she became unhappy.

"what?"

Yan Ziming opened her small mouth, "Explain yourself clearly!"

Si Mo tapped her index fingers together, her eyes darting around, and said:

"Simply put, it's about... first separating your original weapon spirit from the blade, and then giving birth to a new weapon spirit... that's roughly it."

"..."

Yan Ziming's expression improved slightly, and she was less resistant, but she was still uneasy.

To be honest, the veracity of Si Mo's words remains to be verified, but Yan Zi Mo certainly doesn't think it's as simple as just nurturing a spirit.

If it's just a spirit, why beat around the bush? It's probably just something this guy blurted out in a panic.
