I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Zelus knew what Ji Lin wanted to say, so she explained to Ji Lin:

“Youyou is my child, so I want you to become her shrine maiden.”

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin also had a look of sudden realization. So Master Youyou was the child of the god in front of him?!

If that's the case, then Ji Lin understands why the deity before him wanted him to become Master Youyou's priestess.

Chapter 220 [Awakening of the Holy Mark]

After understanding the situation, Ji Lin agreed to Zelusi's conditions. As for her previous requests, Ji Lin didn't react much, as it wasn't a difficult matter for her.

This is a good thing for my tribe. Although it may be a little unfair to my father for raising me, it is possible for him to have another child as his successor at his current age.

If it weren't for his father taking care of him, his father might have already remarried.

After Ji Lin agreed, Zelus looked at Ji Lin with an expression that said, "You're a good girl."

"Very good, since you've agreed, come with me."

As she spoke, Zelus did a somersault and landed on the grass behind Ji Lin, saying to her:

"Let's go~"

..........................................

Soon, Ji Lin, who was following Zelusi, arrived at a pool with a golden sword in hand. Ji Lin looked at the dark green pool, and the occasional bubbles made her eyes twitch. Ji Lin suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this pool. After all, she seemed to see something moving at the bottom of the pool, and it didn't seem to be a fish.

Seeing Ji Lin's expression, Zelus knew what she was thinking. After all, Warfarin had looked the same way when she saw the hatching pool. Zelus then said to Ji Lin:

"Don't worry, this pool is just like this. Although it looks a little... ugly, please rest assured that there is nothing harmful to people."

Hearing the words of the deity before him, Ji Lin was somewhat skeptical. However, just as Ji Lin was about to leave, Zelus, who was standing nearby, pulled him back and said:

"I almost forgot to mention, remember to leave your clothes and weapons behind before you go in, if you don't want them to disappear."

Hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin nodded in understanding. After all, she didn't want her clothes and the golden sword to disappear, because she didn't want to experience being beaten up again.

Setting aside her nightgown and the golden sword in her hand, Ji Lin tested the temperature of the strange pool in front of her with her foot. She then discovered that the water in the pool felt a little warm, which made her relax her tense muscles.

As the warm pool water gradually enveloped Ji Lin's shoulders, Ji Lin suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him. Meanwhile, Zelusi, standing by the pool, watched as Ji Lin was encased in a cocoon resembling flower petals, and a mischievous, sly smile appeared on her face as she looked at the wriggling cocoon. She said:

"Yes, this time it was a great success, unlike last time."

Meanwhile, Zelus also checked Ji Lin's physique. In terms of physique, she was slightly inferior to Warfarin. After all, apart from the Stigmata and Key of Domination hidden in her bloodline, Ji Lin didn't have any particularly impressive abilities.

Seeing Ji Lin's poor physique, Zelu felt sorry for him. When awakening Ji Lin's Stigmata, Zelu also added a Primal Zerg gene and an Ancient Dragon bloodline to Ji Lin, so that Ji Lin could better enhance his strength and use the power of his Stigmata to control the Key of Domination in his hand.

Zelus patted her cheeks. Although she wanted to hold her granddaughter, she still had to finish what she was doing for Ji Lin first. When the cocoon opened again, the little girl appeared in front of Zelus. Although Ji Lin didn't look much different from before she went in, the holy marks on Ji Lin's back had already appeared.

Zelus flipped Ji Lin over to check the stigmata on his back, then lifted him to the shore and waited for him to get up on his own. She then sat on a rock, looking at Ji Lin lying on the ground. Hmm... although Ji Lin looked about her age, he was much more developed. It seemed being Yuhaka's wife wasn't so bad after all; at least he wasn't hard to the touch...

"Uh?"

When Ji Lin woke up, he looked completely bewildered at his unfamiliar surroundings. Before he could react, Zelusi, who was sitting on a rock not far away, looked at him and said:

"You're awake, little one."

Upon hearing Zelusi's voice, Ji Lin hurriedly sat up, then realized he wasn't dressed. Ignoring the fact that his clothes were still wet, he quickly pulled on his pajamas, blushing slightly, and looked at Zelusi, saying:

"My lord, does this mean I've become stronger?"

Regarding Ji Lin's question, Zelus simply waved her hand and said:

"Of course you'll become stronger! If you don't believe me, try holding your golden sword and see for yourself!"

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin curiously grasped the golden longsword beside her. Then, accompanied by a mechanical voice saying, "[Detected super-mutant factor reaction, initiating transformation in coordination with super-mutant factor]", Ji Lin saw that the golden sword in her hand transformed into a giant hunting bow (similar to the bow and arrow of Monster Hunter). Ji Lin was immediately surprised to see the giant hunting bow in her hand, as it looked very much like the giant hunting bow used by her master, Youyou.

Zelus, standing to the side, looked at the enormous hunting bow in Ji Lin's hand and said:

"Little guy, you can try turning this weapon into something else."

"Uh-huh!"

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Ji Lin nodded and tried to transform the hunting bow in his hand into other weapons. In Ji Lin's memory, he chose the appearance of Yuhaka's twin swords, and then the Domination Key in Ji Lin's hand, which was in the form of a hunting bow, transformed into the form of twin swords, which greatly surprised Ji Lin.

Ji Lin tried wielding his twin swords a couple of times, and Zelus, watching Ji Lin use his weapons, said:

"Little guy, try to imagine wielding the twin swords in your hands and creating a hurricane."

Ji Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard Zelusi's words, then nodded obediently and swung his twin swords. In Ji Lin's vision, the golden twin swords in his hands were suddenly surrounded by a hurricane, and then two strong wind blades flew out from the twin blades in his hands and cut a big tree in half.

Ji Lin immediately showed a dumbfounded expression.

Chapter 221 [Yohaka: w.]

On Zerus's side, Ji Lin was testing his new power on the planet Zerus. After experiencing the awakening of his Stigmata and the fusion of the bloodlines of the Primal Zerg and the Ancient Dragon, Ji Lin's physique was able to exert one-third of the strength of a Fusion Warrior from the last century.

If nothing unexpected happens, as long as Ji Lin can absorb enough biological essence, surpassing Fu Hua in her prime wouldn't be a problem, and the same goes for Kevin.

Ji Lin looked at the boulder in front of her that had been cleaved in two by the Key of Domination, and she was quite surprised. Before this, Ji Lin had become proficient in using the power of fire, ice, and lightning with the Key of Domination. At the same time, the bloodline of the Elder Dragon [Steel Dragon] gave Ji Lin the ability to control "wind". If Ji Lin knew that the ability to control "wind" could also allow her to control the weather, she would definitely be very surprised.

Unfortunately, Ji Lin, being "illiterate," only knew that she could control the wind.

After Ji Lin became familiar with the power of his weapon and the awakened Holy Mark, Zelus urged Ji Lin to return.

...The girl is waking up...

On Dragon Immortal Mountain, lying in bed, Ji Lin opened his eyes and saw the familiar cave ceiling. He blinked, a little puzzled, and said:

"Was that... just a dream?"

As Ji Lin was thinking this, he suddenly felt a tingling and wet sensation on his chest, which puzzled him greatly. Then, he looked down and saw Yuhaka with his eyes half-closed, half-lying on his chest.

"Master Youyou—!!"

What are you doing?!

With her face flushed, Ji Lin looked at Yuhaka drooling on her chest and roared inwardly. Then, Ji Lin pushed Yuhaka, who was lying on her body, aside, sat up, wiped the drool that Yuhaka had left on her chest, and straightened her nightgown. Ji Lin looked at Yuhaka, who was fast asleep beside her, with a little shyness.

Ji Lin suddenly felt like she'd never get married... even though she was now completely devoted to Master Youyou...

but......

Looking at Yuhaka sleeping with his big tail in his arms, Ji Lin suddenly felt that becoming Yuhaka's master wasn't so bad after all...

...........................

After eating the breakfast prepared by Yuhaka, Ji Lin asked Yuhaka for a morning off and went back to tell her father about her encounter with the deity and the conditions she had made with Zelus. The Shaodian clan chief initially disagreed with Ji Lin's words, after all, how could a father let his daughter spend her entire life's happiness on such a thing?

However, when Ji Lin took out her golden sword and demonstrated her strength, Chief Shaodian was quite surprised. Then, Ji Lin took out a fruit that Zelus had given her and told her father that it was a fruit that could improve human physique. This was something created by the god Zelus, a fruit that could turn ordinary people into people with the same physique as humans in Monster Hunter.

Chief Shaodian looked bewildered at the watermelon-like fruit in his hand; it was the first time he had ever seen a divine object that looked like a fruit.

After Ji Lin promised that he would go home every few days, the Shao Dian clan chief sighed and nodded in agreement with Ji Lin's idea, looking as if he had aged a few years.

Although Chief Shaodian strongly disagreed with the deity's conditions, his daughter had already agreed to them, and the deity didn't seem like a bad person, even giving the Youxiong clan a magical fruit like this.

.............................

At noon, just before lunchtime... in the training ground inside the waterfall cave.

Ji Lin and Youhaka are currently engaged in combat training.

"Why can't I meet Master Youyou even though I've become stronger!?"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Ji Lin brandished his twin swords and shouted. At this moment, Ji Lin was only wearing his panties, which had been destroyed by Yhaka's divine sword, Baladion.

"OwO?"

Yuhaka deflected Ji Lin's attack with his twin swords while looking puzzled. Although Ji Lin hadn't told Yuhaka about his increased strength, it was still evident to Yuhaka's senses. Yuhaka could clearly perceive the changes in Ji Lin, so Ji Lin's plan to surprise Yuhaka during the practical training was thwarted.

"hiss----"

As a familiar voice echoed in the cave, the only piece of clothing on Ji Lin's body was torn off by Yuhaka. After her last pair of panties were reduced to rags, Ji Lin lay on the ground with an incredulous expression. Although Ji Lin's physique and holy marks had awakened, she had not yet fully adapted to her current physical condition. After all, she was originally only slightly more physically gifted than girls her age, and now she had become like a super soldier.

This caused Ji Lin to consume a lot of stamina with each attack, and Ji Lin himself could not control his breathing rhythm, which caused his stamina to drop rapidly. Eventually, he became exhausted and was seized by Yuhaka to unleash a combo of dual swords.

Yuhaka came to Ji Lin's side and poked her with his big tail. Ji Lin turned around, lay on the ground, looked at Yuhaka, and said:

"Master Youyou, do I lack the talent for fighting?"

In response to Ji Lin's question, Yuhaka simply tilted his head, glanced at Ji Lin with a puzzled look, then squatted down and patted Ji Lin's head, saying:

"Ji Lin, no, he hasn't adapted to his physique. He hasn't adapted to combat yet; he needs time."

Hearing Yuhaka's words of comfort, Ji Lin recovered from her earlier disappointment.

"Cuckoo cuckoo..."

Accompanied by a gurgling sound, like that of an author on a certain novel website, Ji Lin and Youhaka's attention were focused on Ji Lin's lower abdomen, and Ji Lin's face immediately turned bright red.

After hearing Ji Lin's stomach growl, Yuhaka asked Ji Lin what she wanted to eat. Ji Lin then turned her face away shyly and said that she wanted to eat the fried rice from last time.

Chapter 222 [Beautiful Girl +1]

Inside Yuhaka's cave, Ji Lin picked up her chopsticks and ate fried rice. This time, Yu You taught her how to make the fried rice and let her make it herself. Although it couldn't compare to Yu You's own dishes in terms of taste and texture, Ji Lin felt that if she practiced for a while, she would be able to make fried rice almost as good as Yu You's.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, Yuhaka took Jilin hunting. However, this time Yuhaka wasn't taking Jilin to hunt wild boars, but rather...

Monster! Aaaaaah!

Ji Lin looked up at the massive tank-class Honkai Beast, which was over ten meters tall, and roared in his heart. Ji Lin admitted that he was much stronger than he was yesterday, but wasn't it too much of a leap to change his hunting target from a small wild boar to a giant monster?

From a distance, Yuhaka gave Ji Lin a thumbs-up and said to her:

"Go for it, Ji Lin! Tonight we're having pork chop curry rice."

Ji Lin immediately felt that now that he had gained new power, it would be good to train it properly. After all, having a target to test his weapon was a great option!

Ji Lin then raised his twin swords and charged at the tank-class Honkai Beast.

After spending a few minutes, Ji Lin used the Key of Control, which had transformed into a hunting bow, to fire an elemental arrow that severed the head of the Honkai Beast. He then breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Yuhaka behind him, saying:

"Master Youyou! How did I do?"

Regarding Ji Lin's question, Yuhaka nodded and said to her:

"Hmm, well done, not bad."

Then Yuhaka pointed to the spot behind Ji Lin, who looked delighted, and said:

"But it's not over yet."

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, Ji Lin turned around with a puzzled expression, and then she realized that a large number of Rush-class and Chariot-class Honkai Beasts were rushing towards her.

"Master Youyou, you tricked me!"

"~OwO~"
