Chapter 354 Reunion
Mira, Elenei, and Rhydian casually walked around Lunar Fox City without bothering to conceal themselves or their identities. However, nobody dared to approach them because… well, although they were incredibly beautiful, the aura radiating off them was terrifying.
Frankly, most people were more afraid of the wolf than the two beauties, though the ones that accidentally looked into Mira's eyes would think otherwise. If one looked into her eyes for too long, they'd see things that would make ordinary people's minds collapse.
Fortunately, Mira withheld her bloody aura, or else the weaker-willed and ordinary people of Lunar Fox City might collapse, never to wake up again.
Elenei didn't do or say anything as they walked through the city toward the Zaria residence where Maria and Dominque are located.
In fact, to everyone in the city, she was the least threatening of the three. Even if the City Lord came, he would come to the same conclusion. However, that doesn't mean he'd try and fight them. As the City Lord, he naturally knows that Rank 8 beasts can take on a human.
He can barely handle a Rank 6 beast. How could he possibly deal with a Rank 8 beast?! He might die from the backlash of trying to hit them!
Mira paid no attention to her surroundings as her mind was entirely focused on her reunion with Maria and Dominque. It's been such a long time since she's felt this way, so she's not quite sure what to do.
Is what she's feeling, love? She doesn't know.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, Lunar Fox City is a small city, and it wasn't long before Mira's group appeared in front of the Zaria residence.
Mira woke up from her stupor when she noticed she was in front of the Zaria residence. From here, she could easily sense Maria and Dominque's aura and scent. It was quite an odd feeling being able to smell them from such a distance, but she just attributed it to her new beastly characteristics.
However, that's when she fully realized she was part beast, or at least not human anymore! Of course, she had noticed this before, but she didn't think much of it. She's never been one to care about what race she was. As long as she got stronger and didn't look like an ugly monster, she didn't care what she became.
However, that's just how she thinks! What would Maria think when she sees her tails and ears?
Inwardly, Mira panicked a little as she didn't want Maria to hate her for something like this, but outwardly, Mira's expression didn't change.
Fortunately, her mind has been continuously tempered over the last few years, so she could regain her composure in just a second or two.
Mira glanced at the two trembling guards, but it seemed her gaze was a bit more than they could handle, and they fell unconscious.
Now, her face showed signs of panic as she quickly reeled in any possible aura that might be leaking out of her eyes and body.
She thought she reigned it all in before, but it seems it wasn't enough.
However, after inspecting herself more, Mira concluded that even if she could control the bloody aura coming out of her eyes, her gaze was still more than enough for weak people's minds to collapse.
Part of this has to do with her evolution when she broke through to the Core Formation Realm, but most of it stemmed from the fact that she's just killed too many beings. A normal person couldn't withstand the burden of even a fraction of the number of deaths she's caused, so it's only natural that their minds collapse when they experience it.
Mira looked at this scene and sighed. She was going to ask these guards to go tell Maria that she was here, but now that they were knocked unconscious, she didn't feel like waking them up to perform such a menial task.
Mira turned away from the guards and walked towards the mansion.
Just as she was about to announce her arrival, the front door shot open, and a beautiful busty blonde appeared with a bright smile.
"MIRA-eh?"
The girl was about to jump and embrace Mira in a large hug but stopped herself when she noticed that what appeared in front of her when she opened the door wasn't a small loli with an emotionless face, but instead a tall domineering beauty with nine tails and fox ears.
Mira showed a small smile, took a step forward, and then swiftly wrapped her arms around her in a gentle hug.
"Nice to see you again, Maria."
…
Maria's brain shortcircuited when she was swept up in a hug and heard the mature and sexy voice of the woman in front of her. She knew that the woman in front of her was Mira, as she'd never mistake Mira for someone else no matter what form she took, but the differences between the Mira she knew two years ago versus the Mira who's now hugging her were too much for her brain to comprehend in a short amount of time.
Mira could easily see through her thoughts, so she just whispered, "It's really me. If you still have some doubts, look behind me. I brought Rhydian and Elenei with me, though Elenei is currently in her human form, so you might not recognize her."
Those words dissuaded any of Maria's doubts as only three people knew of Elenei. Mira, Celaine, and herself. That combined with the golden wolf standing behind her, Maria knew that the woman embracing her was Mira.
"MIRA!"
Maria returned the hug and shoved her face into Mira's chest as the latter was nearly a head taller.
"Woah! You have tails and fox ears now! SO CUTE!" Maria exclaimed and reached out to stroke Mira's fluffy tails.
Before Mira could say anything, she felt a shiver run up her spine when she felt Maria rubbing her tails.
As Mira was lost in the sensation of having her tails rubbed by the one she held affection toward, Maria reached for her fox ears and began caressing them.
"Mmmmm." A soft moan unconsciously left Mira's mouth, but she quickly closed her mouth, hoping Maria didn't notice.
Unfortunately, Maria's hearing is much better now that she broke through to the Core Formation Realm, and when she heard Mira's soft moan, her mind went blank.
She felt like she just heard something she wasn't supposed to, yet for some reason, she wanted to hear more.
So, whether she did it consciously or unconsciously, she began stroking Mira's ears and tails at the same time.
Mira had to bite her lips to prevent herself from releasing any weird noises. After a dozen seconds of this, Mira knew she wouldn't last much longer, so she decided to try taking Maria's mind off of her for a second.
"Mmm-Maria, I think that's enough for now. I would like to see Dominique. We can talk about my new appearance later."
Maria released a smile when she heard Mira slur her name in a half-moan, but she did as Mira said and stopped rubbing her tails and ears.
"Alright! Let's go meet with Dominque! I'm sure the girl will be ecstatic now that you're finally here. You two can come inside as well." Maria said and led Mira's group inside the mansion.
Meanwhile, as the four of them were walking inside the mansion, Sage Aila was observing them from inside Maria's spatial ring and couldn't help but be shocked.
Although her senses aren't nearly as strong as they were back when she still had a physical body, they aren't weak either.
However, when she tried to probe Mira, she felt something that scared the absolute shit out of her. She felt she was looking at a primordial bloodthirsty demon who thrived on blood and death when she tried probing Mira.
Mira felt someone probing her and narrowed her eyes as she glanced in the direction she felt the probe. When she noticed that it came from Maria's ring, she stopped paying attention to it, but not before sending whoever tried probing her a threatening gaze.
Sage Aila had cold sweat dripping down her back as she realized she was caught red-handed. So, instead of bothering Mira, she focused her attention on the phoenix-like woman behind her.
However, she didn't even get a chance to do anything before she felt the woman staring directly into her soul. Then she heard a voice in her head, absolutely shocking her.
"It seems like you've grown senile ever since you lost your body, but let me give you a piece of advice considering you are that Maria girl's fortuitous encounter. If you want to live out the rest of your life peacefully, you should be careful who you probe."
Sage Aila repeatedly nodded and was now drenched in a cold sweat. She wanted to probe the golden wolf walking next to the phoenix-like woman as she could tell it wasn't simple either, but she decided to take Elenei's advice and stop before she really died.
However, before she could sit back and relax, she heard an incredibly ancient and powerful voice appear in her mind, which almost killed her on the spot.
"Oh? So you're the one who created that cultivation technique? Why don't we have a little chat? Hahaha~"
Sage Aila couldn't even control her body as she was forcibly teleported out of Maria's ring into a completely different location.
Her only thought during all this was:
'What the fuck is wrong with this group?! Maria, please don't die on me! I want to see what heights you can bring the Primordial Heavenly Lights technique!'
Unfortunately, nobody could hear her thoughts, but they probably wouldn't care even if they did.
Maria led Mira's group into a bedroom where a small girl who looked like she was in her early teens with royal blue hair lay.
