Death… And Me

Chapter 1672 Pristine Blue Carp

Around an hour later, Erla finally gathered enough strength to return to her human form. However, her human form also changed slightly. Her hair, which was black before, now had a blue tint to it. The same went for her eyes and other parts of her body that had hair.

”Hey, even the pubic hair is kind of blue now, hahaha,” Rean commented and laughed as he pointed it out.

A vein popped on Minʼs head as he looked at Rean with an angry expression. ”Can you not look at the private parts of someone elseʼs wife?” he asked as he quickly passed a set of new clothes to Erla. Since her transformation was involuntary, the clothes on her body earlier were ripped apart since they could never fit her real formʼs size.

As always, a demon beast wouldnʼt change into human form already with clothes on. In fact, as a demon beast, Erla truly didnʼt care whether others saw her with clothes on or not. The majority of demon beasts didnʼt, actually. Itʼs just that the humanoid races were very adamant about that, so they had to use them when they entered the cities of humanoid races. Kentucky and Celis were very good examples of it, as Rean had to force the two to use clothes when they were in their human form.

Rean nodded in response. ”My bad, my bad. Then again, is it just me, or did she become more beautiful now? I kind of like her new appearance.”

Erla was happy to hear that. ”Is that so?”

Min only got angrier, though. ”Shut up, you two! This is not the time to be talking about such irrelevant things.” Well, he was just annoyed by their sudden intimate interaction.

Rean could only stop there before Min really lost his mind. ”Fine, fine...”

Soon after...

*Bang!*

Rean kicked the ʼunconsciousʼ guy by his side, sending him flying against the wall. ”Do you think I canʼt tell that youʼre awake? Since Iʼm this good at healing skills, I can obviously tell the difference between someone whoʼs actually unconscious and someone whoʼs awake. If you keep pretending for too long, I donʼt mind crushing your demon core right here right now.”

Blansinʼs eyes immediately opened after hearing that. ”Sorry! Please spare me! Iʼll do anything. Just donʼt destroy my cultivation!” He obviously found out about Reanʼs seal around his demon core since he couldnʼt use any Divine Energy at all at the moment. He also didnʼt doubt that Rean had the ability to really destroy his demon core if he wished.

Erlaʼs expression changed before she approached Blansin.

*Pah!*

It was then that a resounding slap sound echoed through the entire area. Not that Blansin couldnʼt use Divine Energy, one can be sure that it hurt a lot. ”You disappointed me, Blansin. I thought our friendship was better than that.”

Rean then held Erlaʼs hand before she slapped the guy again. ”Thereʼs no doubt that what he did was wrong. However, during the entire time, he had a pained expression. At the very least, I can guarantee that he wasnʼt doing it because he wanted to. Thereʼs a lot more to this story, so letʼs listen. Of course, you canʼt forgive him either.”

Blansin then looked at Erla after that. He didnʼt feel the least bit angry with what just happened. If anything, he felt relieved since he believed he deserved it. ”Iʼm sorry. Reanʼs right. I was forced to do it.”

Erla took a deep breath and nodded in response. ”We can talk about our friendship later. First, I have a lot of questions since Iʼm as lost as anyone else. The first one, what happened to me? Am I not a White Scaled Carp anymore? My real form and even my human one are completely different.”

Erlaʼs words reminded Rean of something. ”Min, you did tell me that the Clendes Heart was created by the Clendes Sea God, right? Could it be that Erla isnʼt a White Scaled Carp but from this godʼs race?”

Min obviously thought the same thing. ”If thatʼs the case, could it be that Erla is Elder Tuwencioʼs daughter?” Tuwencio was the name of Erlaʼs father.

Erla was obviously shocked by that. ”Blansin, is that true?”

Blansin shook his head, though. ”Since we already got to this point, I might as well not hide anything anymore. Donʼt worry. Youʼre definitely Elder Tuwencioʼs daughter. Not only that, but you were indeed born as a White Scaled Carp.”

Erla sighed in relief after that. ”So Iʼm not something else. Iʼm still a White Scaled Carp.”

”No.” Blansin shook his head, clarifying, ”Itʼs wrong to call you a White Scaled Carp now. Your true bloodline has just appeared after the Clendes Sea Heart was awakened. You have gone back to the origin of the White Scaled Carp race. Or better yet, youʼve gone back to the starting point. Youʼre now what we believe to be a Pristine Blue Carp, a Divine Demon Beast of the highest rank.”

”Pristine Blue Carp?” None of them had ever heard about it before.

Blansin continued, ”Itʼs normal that you havenʼt heard about it. Only the higher-ups of our Silver Horn Sturgeon race and your White Scaled Carp race know about it. Believe it or not, we are all descendants of this one god. Itʼs just that our bloodlines have diluted so much these countless years that we lost the status of Divine Fishes. Thatʼs also why both our races have been on friendly terms for so long. We share the same origins.”

Rean immediately thought, ʼIf Kentucky or Celis were here, they would have definitely felt the change in her bloodline.ʼ

Erla was obviously even more shocked now.

However, it was Rean that asked the next question. ”What do you mean by the highest rank of Divine Demon Beasts? Could it be that demon beasts are like spirits? There are higher-ranked ones and lower-ranked ones?”

Blansin nodded in response. ”Thatʼs correct. I donʼt know much about other Divine Demon Beasts, but I definitely know that the Pristine Blue Carp is among the top ones.”

Erla couldnʼt help but look at herself. ”Me, one of the highest-ranked Divine Demon Beasts?” That was obviously hard to believe.
