As the vibrant Crimson Aura that had enveloped Amber finally faded away, everyone in the room found themselves staring in awe and disbelief. Although the woman standing before them still had a familiar face that they recognized as Amber's, her fox-like features had undergone a complete transformation. Gone were her fox tails and ears; she now appeared as if she was an ordinary human being. It would be hard for anyone to guess that she had ever had any fox attributes.
Staring at this new version of Amber, everyone was at a loss for words. Their faces showed a complicated mixture of shock, amazement, and perhaps a bit of confusion.
Breaking the stunned silence, Amber giggled softly. "Hehe," she chuckled, her eyes twinkling with delight.
Aditya, who had been observing the changes closely, finally spoke, "It seems that the merging of both the dragon and fox bloodlines within you has altered not just your abilities, but also your appearance."
And it wasn't just her animal features that had changed. Even her hair, which was once a different color, had turned black, framing her face like a dark halo. She had always been beautiful, but now her beauty was breathtaking. Her face had a celestial quality to it, as if she were a fairy that had descended from the heavens to grace the mortal world. It wasn't just Aditya who noticed this; the others in the room could also see that Amber had transcended into a realm of beauty that matched, Aditya's other fiancées.
Amber had undergone a profound transformation. Not only had her appearance altered, but even the energy or Aura that surrounded her had evolved. Now a Beginner 5th-order cultivator, it was evident that she had gained immense power from consuming the Nine-Tailed Fox core.
Curiosity filled the air as Aditya, followed by the others in the room, couldn't help but wonder about this unprecedented change. "Amber, do you know the name of your newly evolved bloodline?" Aditya inquired. In all the history of their world, or at least as far as they were aware, no one had ever experienced such a dramatic transformation.
Amber chuckled softly, her eyes twinkling with excitement and a dash of playfulness. "Hehe! To be honest, I have no idea. Since you played a crucial role in this evolution, Your Majesty, why don't you have the honor of naming my new bloodline?"
Aditya paused, deep in thought. The task was monumental; her new bloodline was a unique blend of her original fox traits and his own divine dragon blood. Whatever he chose needed to be a name that would honor both aspects equally.
After a few moments, an idea popped into his mind. "How about we call it the Ethereal Phantom Dragon-Fox Bloodline?"
Amber repeated the name softly, letting each syllable roll off her tongue as if tasting a new and exotic flavor. "Ethereal Phantom Dragon-Fox Bloodline," she said, almost whispering, clearly savoring the name. Her face brightened, and it was evident she was enamored with the title. "I like it, I really like it," she beamed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Amber said, her head dipping in a slight bow towards Aditya. Memories flooded back to a time when she was a mere slave, her ability to cultivate Mana irreparably damaged. She mana heart was destroyed. She had been resigned to a life of servitude, devoid of any hope, as she awaited a potential owner to buy her from the slave traders.
She had heard rumors about Aditya before she was purchased by him. He was known as a neglectful king, an alcoholic who seemed to care more for his drinks than his kingdom. His days were a continuous cycle of drinking all night and sleeping it off throughout the day.
Initially, Amber wasn't sure why he had chosen to buy her. What could he want with a slave whose abilities were so limited? Yet, from the moment she was brought into his kingdom, her life began to shift in directions she had never anticipated. Her ability to cultivate Mana was miraculously restored, and she was elevated from a life of slavery to the esteemed role of a general in the burgeoning Istarin Kingdom.
Fast forward a year, and she now stood as the strongest general in what had become the most formidable empire in the entire world. Her gratitude towards Aditya was immeasurable; he had quite literally saved her from a hopeless existence. It was as if he had appeared at the end of her dark, bleak tunnel not just to offer her a glimmer of light, but to completely demolish the tunnel itself, rescuing her into a world filled with endless possibilities.
As she stood there, gazing at Aditya, a torrent of thoughts swirled through Amber's mind. 'Even if I never capture Your Majesty's attention in the way I secretly hope, it's alright. Even if I remain just a peripheral figure in the grand tapestry of your life, my devotion to you will remain unwavering. I'm your loyal sword, forever ready to serve. I will stand by you through thick and thin, irrespective of what place I hold in your life.'
Amber had always kept her deeper feelings for Aditya securely locked away. Even now, after the incredible evolution of her bloodline, she couldn't muster the courage to step forward into the spotlight of his romantic life, especially given that he already had five goddess as his fiances.
For her, the mere privilege of being by his side in any capacity felt like enough. 'Just being your loyal general, watching over you from a distance, serving your needs, that's far better than having no place in your life at all,' she silently affirmed to herself.
Unbeknownst to her, if Aditya could hear the echoing thoughts in her mind, he would respond with a sigh. "It's not that I'm blind to your affection for me, Amber. I do sense a stir of feelings within my heart where you're concerned. But relationships, like everything else worth having, must be carefully nurtured over time. I need time to fully grasp my emotions for you, to authentically reciprocate your feelings, rather than rushing into something neither of us is fully prepared for." In Aditya's perspective, things were evolving rapidly with Amber, and he believed in letting emotions mature naturally over time.
"Amber, where did your fox features go? What happened to your fox ears and tails?" Julia, who had always been Amber's closest friend, couldn't help but ask, her fingers lightly tracing the contours of Amber's transformed hair and complexion.
"Oh, don't worry," Amber reassured her, smiling warmly. "I can still bring out my fox tails and ears whenever I want to." No sooner had she spoken than her appearance began to alter. Her hair shifted in hue from its black shade to a vivid, unmistakable Crimson. Her pupils underwent a similar change, turning a deep, fiery red. In a moment, Crimson-colored fox ears sprang to life atop her head, and nine luxuriously fluffy tails appeared behind her.
Everyone present watched in awe, clearly impressed. Even when donning her Kitsune form, Amber radiated an irresistible cuteness that captivated all who saw her.
"So does this mean you can also morph into a dragon?" Alicia asked, her eyes wide with a mixture of curiosity and excitement.
"No, that's not something I can do," Amber clarified, her gaze meeting each pair of eyes in turn. "Although I carry a dragon's aura within me thanks to Aditya, I don't possess any of the physical traits associated with dragons. My inherent form remains that of fox-folk, my original race."
The crowd nodded, absorbing this information. If Amber could effortlessly switch between a dragon and a fox, it would essentially make her a natural shapeshifter, a concept that defied the laws of their world. But what they understood now was that Amber's Royal Fox Queen bloodline was so pure and potent that even after its evolution, it allowed her to maintain her fox-like features. What was particularly fascinating to them was the way her fox features now bore the distinctive Crimson hue that reflected Aditya's own unique Divine Crimson bloodline.
"Alright, girls, it's time for you all to go back to your room. It's has gotten really late. Go to sleep. Tomorrow, you all will have to wake up quite early." Julia said while waving her hands as if signalling them to leave now. They had played, exchanged gifts and even have witnessed Amber's evolution, and now it was time to go back to their own rooms.
"Hmph! You want us to leave just so that you three can fuck like rabbits." Sasha snorted and said. Although Sasha's words were rude, no one minded it. And also, what she was the truth indeed. Hearing her words, Alicia and Julia's faces slightly turned red.
Cough....Cough..!!!
Julia even coughed a few times.
Meanwhile, Aditya didn't even notice when Lilith sneakily came behind him. She wrapped her arms around his waist and firmly pushed her boobs against his back. "Hehe! Little Emperor, why don't you invite me to stay. We can do all sorts of naughty things...."
Aditya "..."
Aditya felt that Lilith has become even more bolder now. She was openly teasing him like this. If she wasn't Sasha's mother, then he would have eaten her.
Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
