Chapter 723, Becoming a Pet

Translator: Silavin

 

The moment these words were spoken, everyone was simultaneously surprised and delighted.

 

Lu Fan, however, was so frustrated his teeth itched with hatred, thinking to himself. [This bloody !@$$!! A useless lustful horse that only prefers beautiful women!?]

 

He had beaten this creature nearly to death on the Ice Plains of Despair, yet had failed to make it submit. But now, after just seeing his Aunt once, it had immediately fallen and actively wanted to become her Extra Pet. Where was the justice in that?

 

However, despite his annoyance, even if the Ice Crystal Beast became Lu Fan’s Extra Pet, he would have found a way to transfer it to his Aunt and the others.

 

After all, this Ice Crystal Beast meant virtually nothing in terms of Combat Power to him.

 

But for Han Ke and the others, it could double their strength!

 

Especially for Han Ke.

 

She was a Lifestyle Specialised Profession with inherently low Combat Power. If she encountered danger without anyone nearby to protect her, she would certainly be facing death.

 

But now it was different. With the Ice Crystal Beast as her Extra Pet by her side, it could protect her.

 

Even someone 20 Levels higher than her, whether Player or Monster, might not necessarily be her match.

 

This way, Lu Fan could feel more at ease.

 

With this thought, Lu Fan said to Han Ke, “Auntie, try to accept it and see if you can make it your Extra Pet.”

 

“Oh, okay.” Han Ke nodded, then closed her eyes and, following Lu Fan’s instructions, attempted to accept this Ice Crystal Beast.

 

Immediately after, everyone saw a snowflake appear on the Ice Crystal Beast’s forehead.

 

This snowflake was not a physical object but formed by intersecting light and shadow, more like a symbolic marking.

 

The snowflake slowly floated and finally merged into Han Ke’s forehead.

 

Subsequently, a blue snowflake marking appeared between Han Ke’s brows, like a decorative cosmetic accent that complemented her beautifully exquisite features, making her even more stunning.

 

The Ice Crystal Beast then transformed into a large swirl of wind and snow and dissipated.

 

This entire scene left everyone speechless. When Han Ke opened her eyes, they immediately rushed forward to inquire what had happened and whether the Ice Crystal Beast had indeed become her Extra Pet.

 

Han Ke’s face bore a smile as she nodded excitedly, “It has become my Pet.”

 

“Now I have an additional Pet Panel in my Attribute Panel now. This Ice Crystal Beast’s strength is truly formidable. Although it’s the same Level as me, its Attributes are hundreds of times mine, and it possesses many powerful Skills.”

 

As she spoke, she traced a Summoning Array with her hand.

 

After the Summoning Array formed, the Ice Crystal Beast emerged from it.

 

However, it was clearly visible that the Ice Crystal Beast was considerably smaller than before. This was most likely due to Han Ke’s Level being too low. When the Ice Crystal Beast became her Pet, its Level also dropped to match hers.

 

Among Lifestyle Specialised Professions, Han Ke’s Level was considered extremely high. Having completed countless Dungeon Instances with Lu Fan and others, her current Level was only slightly lower than Jian Ying and the others, reaching Level 50.

 

But this Level was less than half of the Ice Crystal Beast’s original Level 120.

 

Therefore, the Ice Crystal Beast was affected by no small degree, it was greatly weakened.

 

Even so, the Ice Crystal Beast did not seem dissatisfied with this situation. It emerged from the Summoning Array with an air of arrogance, seemingly very pleased about being able to be Han Ke’s Pet.

 

Moreover, its original size was actually far larger than a typical horse, which was somewhat difficult for Han Ke to Ride.

 

Now that its Level had decreased and its size had shrunk, it was actually more suitable for a delicate woman like Han Ke to ride.

 

Lu Fan smiled and said to Han Ke, “Auntie, this is a Sky Mount. It can be Ridden. Why don’t you try to see if you can Ride it? If you encounter danger in the future, it should be able to help you escape.”

 

“Oh, I’ll try.” Han Ke nodded, her voice clearly somewhat nervous.

 

After all, apart from the Divine Bone Clone, she had never really Ridden anything else before.

 

Lu Fan also comforted her, explaining that there was a spiritual connection between Players and their Pets. So when riding, even without experience, one would have good control over the Mount. There was no situation where one could not control it and would fall off.

 

With Lu Fan’s assistance, Han Ke mounted its back.

 

Since there was no Saddle, Han Ke could only temporarily grip the Ice Crystal Beast’s smooth mane.

 

After Han Ke settled herself, she began using her spiritual connection to control the Ice Crystal Beast, making it slowly walk forward.

 

The expression on Han Ke’s face became increasingly excited because she felt that riding a Mount was not as difficult as she had imagined.

 

In just five minutes, Han Ke had completely mastered the method of riding the Ice Crystal Beast. By now, she had even gotten it to spread its wings and carry her soaring through the sky.

 

Such a tall, stunning ‘white horse’ carrying oneself through the air was definitely the dream of many young women.

 

Seeing Han Ke flying through the air on the Ice Crystal Beast, all the girls looked on with envious gazes.

 

Lu Fan approached Jian Ying and whispered, “Do you like it too? If so, I’ll see if there are any other Ice Crystal Beasts around later and catch a few to bring back so you all can have your own Extra Pet.”

 

Jian Ying’s face reddened slightly as she whispered back. “It is indeed magical, but it’s not that easy to catch, right? Actually, after my Third Profession Change, I should be able to learn a Flight Skill, so I don’t really need a Sky Mount.”

 

“Heh heh!” Lu Fan chuckled, “This is an Extra Pet, and a Sky Mount at that. I don’t believe you’re not the slightest bit tempted. Even if you can master a Flight Skill later, having an Extra Pet to help in battle is still worthwhile, no? The Ice Crystal Beast’s Skills are powerful, and they have Crowd Control Effects, similar to your Ocean Freezing Sword. Perhaps the two might have a wonderful synergy? If you could combine with the Ice Crystal Beast to create even stronger Crowd Control Effects, then use your Blood Breaker Sword and Army Breaker Sword to attack, your Combat Power would definitely reach new heights!”

 

Jian Ying’s expression changed slightly. Clearly, Lu Fan’s words made her desire an Ice Crystal Beast of her own even more.

 

Seeing this, Lu Fan smiled and said, “No need to be so reserved. An Ice Crystal Beast is beneficial to all of you. If I encounter more, I’ll definitely bring them back so everyone can have one.”

 

At this moment, Han Ke controlled the Ice Crystal Beast to land steadily beside everyone and smiled at them, “I’ve basically mastered how to Ride it. This Sky Mount can carry at most two people. Why don’t one of you ride with me to the outskirts of Shadow Isle to hunt some Monsters? From what I read, its Skills are really powerful. I think with one of you accompanying me, just the two of us would be able to handle a Shadow Swordsmen.”
