Chapter 151: Picking a New Name
He Ruoxi nodded, then leaned against Bing Cheng's arm like a clinging bird.
A few breaths later, Fairy Liyue also teleported to their side, looking at He Ruoxi with envy.
Although during their time together, Bing Cheng had said that she could treat Fairy Liyue as an ordinary friend.
But was this ordinary friend status really what Fairy Liyue wanted?
It was obvious that Bing Cheng understood everything, yet she feigned ignorance.
Fairy Liyue only regretted why she hadn't been by Bing Cheng's side when Bing Cheng's Cultivation went awry…
"Boom, boom…"
Perhaps because they were in the Underground World, the lightning clouds condensed much slower this time; it took a long while for the sound of thunder to ring out.
"Bing Cheng, are you saying that E'e is undergoing Transformation?" She hadn't been there when Bing Cheng and He Ruoxi were chatting earlier, so she didn't know E'e was undergoing Transformation.
However, she had once read about this situation in some ancient texts.
When a Yao Beast undergoes Transformation, it returns to its original life form.
As a Dragon, E'e would surely turn back into an egg, the kind born from a belly.
Ancient texts recorded that it would turn into a fleshy lump, essentially a meat egg, though it looked a bit disgusting.
Bing Cheng nodded.
"Little Cheng, when a Yao Beast undergoes Transformation, it can take on a human form according to its own will, but it cannot be changed afterward, just like when we humans are born. You can have E'e turn into whatever appearance you like," Fairy Liyue reminded her.
"I know, E'e already asked me just now."
Fairy Liyue's eyes flickered. "Don't tell me you're going to have her turn into a beautiful woman, and then make her our sister?"
Bing Cheng's mouth twitched upon hearing this. To be honest, her feelings for E'e had always been that of a pure sisterly relationship; she had never thought about taking her into a harem or anything like that.
"She is my sister," Bing Cheng said sternly.
"Wasn't Sister Ruoxi also your sister at the very beginning?" A cunning look appeared in Fairy Liyue's eyes; He Ruoxi had told her the whole story about her and Bing Cheng.
"Uh…" Bing Cheng was speechless, instantly recalling a popular song from her past life.
"She is just my little sister…"
It was very relatable.
"I really won't," Bing Cheng said sternly.
The three chatted for a while longer.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, E'e's Lightning Tribulation officially began.
The first wave of heavenly lightning directly descended with twenty-seven bolts, like a violent storm.
On Bing Cheng's side, she directly absorbed eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning. Feeling her Cultivation soar significantly in an instant, Bing Cheng was overjoyed.
This improvement was even greater than the Lightning Tribulation she had absorbed while nearly ten Cultivators were breaking through simultaneously in the Small World.
The surface of that giant silvery-white egg had turned charred in many places, and cracks had even appeared.
Bing Cheng also felt a bit worried about E'e in her heart.
She didn't know if the egg breaking would affect E'e's Undergoing Tribulation.
After the first wave of heavenly lightning, the lightning clouds seemed to have exhausted their energy and began absorbing a large amount of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi again, creating a gale even more violent than before.
It even uprooted some plants.
It brewed for another incense stick's worth of time.
The second wave of heavenly lightning finally descended; it was also twenty-seven bolts, but it was different from before.
The twenty-seven bolts of heavenly lightning converged and fused in mid-air, turning into a single thick bolt of heavenly lightning that smashed down.
"Boom!"
"Crack…" The top of the silvery-white giant egg was directly shattered by the heavenly lightning, which then poured into the egg to wreak havoc.
A scent of cooked meat wafted out.
"I wonder what Dragon meat tastes like…" Bing Cheng suddenly muttered; mainly because this scent of meat was just too damn fragrant.
Fairy Liyue and He Ruoxi both looked at Bing Cheng in horror.
She was just saying this was her sister a moment ago, how could she suddenly want to eat her?
On Bing Cheng's side, the heavenly lightning was even thicker, but it was merely there to increase Bing Cheng's Cultivation.
She felt that she was now, at most, one step away from the Nascent Soul stage.
Just as the three were preparing to go and check, they saw a dragon made of lightning poke its head out from the lightning clouds, heading toward the shattered silver giant egg.
"Shouldn't the Six-Nine Lightning Tribulation be over?" Bing Cheng was a bit puzzled.
"It should be for the Transformation, so does it need to endure more heavenly lightning?" Fairy Liyue was also puzzled.
Fairy Liyue had only seen records related to Transforming Yao Beasts in ancient texts; there were no Transforming Great Yao in the Xuanqing Mountain territory, and even in the Wuji Pavilion territory, there were very few.
The true Yao Beast clan resided in the north and northwest of the Divine Land, while Xuanqing Mountain was in the southeast of the Divine Land; the distance was too far.
Even the ancestors of Xuanqing Mountain had never been to the Demon Realm.
Seeing that no more heavenly lightning was descending on her side, Bing Cheng secretly felt it was a pity. She was now just one step away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, but there was no need to be too anxious; she estimated that after Cultivating for a few more months, it would be about time.
"Roar…"
A high-pitched, long dragon roar filled the Underground World.
Even though it was just a bolt of heavenly lightning, it was mimicked so vividly that the power and Concept within it made even Bing Cheng moved, feeling that this lightning dragon was a true member of the Dragon Clan.
The lightning dragon collided with the silvery-white giant egg, turning into streaks of lightning that spread out.
"Crack, crack…"
The silvery-white giant egg finally couldn't withstand it and shattered inch by inch.
But Bing Cheng discovered that E'e had already succeeded in her Undergoing Tribulation; a pressure of the Nascent Soul stage radiated from within the silvery-white giant egg.
"Ah…" Immediately after, a young girl's voice rang out.
It seemed to be celebrating her new life.
"Crash…" The silvery-white giant egg collapsed entirely, revealing a petite figure inside.
It was E'e.
E'e was now about five feet tall, with a rather petite figure, flat-chested and not curvy, with waist-length hair draped behind her head. Her face and expression were seventy percent similar to Bing Cheng's.
A pair of dragon horns on her head represented her identity.
E'e was still gnawing on the silvery-white eggshell in her mouth, crunching away.
As the eggshell entered her mouth, E'e's aura continued to grow stronger.
"Sister, do you want to eat some?" E'e reached out, inviting her.
Seeing E'e eating so deliciously, Bing Cheng swallowed her saliva and, without standing on ceremony, picked up a piece of eggshell and started gnawing on it.
"Bang!"
Bing Cheng only felt as if she were biting down on the bones of those great experts; her teeth ached with waves of pain.
"Hahaha… Sister, you are so cute…" E'e held her stomach and laughed loudly.
Thinking about it, it made sense; an eggshell that could withstand heavenly lightning was not something she could bite through right now.
Bing Cheng's face darkened. She teleported to E'e's side, took out a set of clothes she had prepared in advance, put them on her, and then flicked her on the forehead.
"E'e, have you gotten cocky? You actually dared to trick your sister."
E'e covered her forehead and said aggrievedly, "Ice Egret and the others all have new names. Sister, I want a new name too."
She then looked at Bing Cheng with hopeful eyes.
"Bing E'e?" Bing Cheng held her chin in thought.
E'e curled her lip; what kind of name was that?
"Bing Cheng, how about you let me name E'e?" Fairy Liyue arrived by teleporting with He Ruoxi.
"I don't want you to name me." E'e pouted her little mouth.
"Haha, Sister was just joking with you. Bing Ranxue, how is this name?" Bing Cheng rubbed E'e's head.
