After saying that, Bai Shishi approached the sli. Simultaneously, he stretched out his hand, summoning a tal cage on his palm.
'I can't believe this useless thing that I almost forgot I still had stored away deep in my Spatial Ring would co in handy one day.'
Sli Entrapnt Cage… that was its na according to the Beast Tar he had once robbed and killed.
The old man was naive and more than a little bit of a lunatic. He actually believed slis held insurmountable potential.
Slis were the lowest of the lowest. They were one of the bottom feeders in the Magical Beast Kingdom.
So how could they possess so-called insurmountable potential? And if they did have insurmountable potential, why were they at the bottom and not at the top of the food chain, or at least at the top of the Magical Beast kingdom?
Recalling the unpleasant encounter, Bai Shishi snorted.
'Whatever. Who cares what that old coot thought? Because of him, I can please Master. What's more, with this sli, I can make a good impression on Mistress Lily.'
Once Bai Shishi was close enough to the trembling sli, he channeled his Mana into the Sli Entrapnt Cage. Along the tallic bars, Runic Symbols flickered to life, and quickly, the cage expanded in size. A powerful suction force pressed down on the sli, making it tremble even more in fright.
Hastily, the surface of the Ever-Changing Phantom Sli glowed gray, and in a matter of seconds, its size expanded and elongated, growing to many tis its original size. Two horns sprouted from its shifting form — one jagged and long, the other stunted and sharp. Four thick and sturdy legs took shape, each ending with a claw that dug into the dirt. Lastly, a spiked tail whipped behind it.
Pei Buhan swallowed.
"Is that a tal Hide Rhino?"
Lucius answered, "That's right. But the sli's attempt is useless."
Hearing this, Pei Buhan's brows furrowed.
"What do you an?"
In response, he was t with a disdainful chuckle from Bai Shishi. He was not showing disdain towards the old man, but rather at the Ever-Changing Phantom Sli's pathetic final struggle.
"So what if you can beco bigger? Even if you were as big as a Dragon, as long as you're a Sli, you can't escape the Sli Entrapnt Cage."
As if the cage was waiting for that exact mont, from within the cage, a white light in the shape of a net shot out toward the fake tal Hide Rhino.
The speed at which it shot out was so fast that before anyone could blink, the net had already entrapped the fake tal Hide Rhino.
Like a hunter flaunting its catch, the net was slowly pulled into the cage.
Simultaneously, the fake tal Hide Rhino's form began to contort, and soon, it dissolved back into the quivering, white Sli.
The Runic Symbols glowed once more, and the cage shrank to the size of Bai Shishi's palm.
Pei Buhan was in awe.
"The poor Sli never had a chance."
"Of course, it didn't have a chance. I gave Master my word that I would bring back an unhard Ever-Changing Phantom Sli." Bai Shishi lifted the cage up to his eyes and glanced at the trembling sli within. Excitent flickered in his eyes.
He then continued, "Let's go. Master and Mistress Lily are waiting for us. Don't make them wait longer than necessary."
With that, the group of four jumped onto the perch and sat down. None of them even glanced at the interior of the carriage, since it was silently agreed upon that it was their Master's personal abode.
The journey back to Alabaster City took an even shorter amount of ti than reaching the Spirit Waterfall. The main reason was that Pei Buhan had a decent mory and had morized the route. That allowed him to navigate the route back at full speed, never once allowing his trusty steed to slow down until the city walls of Alabaster ca into view.
It was then, as they were entering the city, Bai Shishi once again showed off his influence as the two guards, who had charged Lucian, Pei Buhan, Lucius, and Luke a Low-Grade Mana Stone each, bowed their heads, gave them the Mana Stones back with apologetic smiles, and allowed them entry into the city.
Pei Buhan was all smiles as he guided the horse toward the Alabaster Hotel. Even though the Mana Stones were not his, he had always disliked those two black-hearted guards and their sneering, arrogant attitudes. Now that he had seen them groveling, he felt light and refreshed.
It was not only him, as Lucius and Luke felt the sa.
After reaching Alabaster Hotel, they disembarked the carriage, and a young man in a dark red suit ca forward with a bright smile.
He bowed to them.
"Esteed Guests, would you like for to park your carriage?"
Since the carriage was Pei Buhan's, the other three silently looked at him for his opinion.
Pei Buhan, on the other hand, nodded his head.
"Do what you did last ti." He glanced at his horse, and seeing its tired expression, he continued, "Also, give my friend hay and plenty of water."
"As you wish, Esteed Guest." The young man bowed low and climbed up to the perch.
For a few monts, Pei Buhan watched as the carriage departed to the back of the hotel, where the other carriages and pens were.
Only after he could no longer see his carriage, did he nod to the rest, silently telling them they could now enter the hotel.
Inside the grand suite, Lucian, who had been woken up less than a minute ago, looked intently at the Ever-Changing Phantom Sli trapped within a cage.
The Sli trembled under his intense scrutiny —a normal reaction given its condition. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
"Master… is the Ever-Changing Phantom Sli to your satisfaction?" Bai Shishi was the first to speak, taking the lead in the conversation.
