Chapter 232: Crystalline Emperor (Requesting Monthly Votes)
```
"From cat, to human."
The senior sister felt this was incorrect, "It should be from cat to tiger first, and now to human."
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen."
Cat Yiyi and Cat Erer were very respectful to Isefia, as they owed their transformation into human forms and the completion of their souls to her.
The Fairy Clan was basically part of the Ideal Coast faction, with Lilith being Middle Tier and the senior sister Upper Tier, the two of them intrinsically linked and inseparable.
"Heroic Level, compared to Artifact System Heroes, how do they fare?"
"Inferior."
The senior sister could confidently answer, "In their human forms, they can only exert the power of the Supernatural Peak, and all their Secret Techniques must be performed in their original forms."
But, when they revert to their Divine Beast forms, they cannot use weapons or armor, relying primarily on their robust physiques for combat.
Moreover, due to a lack of versatility and tactics, the Beast Type troops have 1.5 times the destructive power of Heroic Spirits, but in actual combat, one-on-one, Beast Types have difficulty defeating Heroic Spirits.
In any case, if the Heroic Spirits withstand the initial attack of the Beast Types, and you can't take your opponent down, then brace yourself for them to take you down instead.
'You have been seen through by me.'
Heroic Spirits: 'We, the Heroic Spirits, won't be taken down by the same moves twice!!'
Although Heroic Spirits are not Saints, they do possess a strong learning ability, which reflects humans' reliance on intellect in combat.
"But as artillery, they should be much superior to the Heroic Spirits System."
Flame Light Princess and Silver Snow Concubine were artillery-type Beast Troops. The mini suns and moons they carried, although limited in number, needing to accumulate over time, their power could potentially surpass that of the Sea Mirage Red Crab's mini Nuclear Bomb Cannon.
"Lingling has been inside for almost 10 minutes now, right? For a Legend?"
"A Legend would take longer."
The senior sister shook her head, saying, "Even for a King, it would take about half an hour. These things can't be rushed. The longer it takes, the higher the potential of these little ones to..."
"Hmm?"
At that moment, both the senior sister and Bailuo turned their eyes towards the entrance of the Sacred Beast Forest, only to see another stone statue appearing.
This statue was even larger than the previous two, just crouching there and it was almost twenty meters tall.
Of course, such a size wasn't considered too big even among Heroic Level beings.
But being a Beast Type troop didn't mean they couldn't be liberated again.
Indeed, Yi Yi and Er Er's Divine Beast forms were just their normal states; after liberation, they would be significantly larger than before.
By the same logic, being normally twenty meters tall, Bailuo could already imagine how large they would become upon liberation.
"This is..."
Instantly, Bailuo and the senior sister sensed the aura emanating from the other party: "Master!"
"Patter, patter."
The originally vague and rough stone statue embryo was visibly transforming at a rate perceivable to the naked eye. It became lower and took on a crawling shape, continually shedding stone fragments, and Bailuo had the impression that its inheritance was nearing its end...
"ROAR!!"
The statue shattered, and a colossal creature leaped out.
It was an odd-looking being, part lion and part tiger.
It majestically roared towards the sky; the next moment, everyone heard a 'screech screech screech' akin to the sound of sharp blades scraping against glass.
Looking towards the source of the noise, they saw the space itself was filled with numerous cracks.
[Crystal Emperor]
Name: Cat Lingling
Contract: Bailuo Yatun
Level: Master
Type: Holy Beast Type Magical Beast
Source of Miracle: Miracle Creature: Splendor Dragon
First Form: Holy Beast Princess
Second Form: Cat Fairy (Interchangeable)
Third Form: Magical Beast Crystal Emperor
"Hiss."
Two streams of pale blue flame spilled from the corners of the Crystal Emperor's mouth, and the shattered space, turning into icy crystal debris, surged toward her, eventually forming crystals that encircled her waist.
These were pale blue energy crystals, containing impressively turbulent energy. A mere leak of this energy was enough to make the surrounding fairies tremble with fear.
"ROAR! ROAR!"
At the forest's edge, the Crystal Emperor stepped forward steadily, approaching Bailuo and the others.
Cat Lingling, no longer as irritable as before, seemed to transform into a true monarch. Her demeanor, even beside Bailuo, sufficiently displayed her Royal Prestige.
"Glala."
"PING PING PING!"
With each step of the Crystal Emperor, ice-blue crystal flowers bloomed at her feet, spreading outward in all directions.
"ROAR!"
The Crystal Emperor growled low, her gaze domineering, especially when scanning the White Eagle Family, filled with disdain.
This irritated the White Eagle Family led by Baiying Yin.
Baiying Yin: Look how smug she is.
Baiying Yin: A Master is great and all, but wait until I inherit a King level, then I'll look down on her!
Baiying Yinyin: Exactly, she's far too arrogant.
```
White Eagle Ying Ying Ying: Ying Ying Ying.
"Master."
The moment Bailuo arrived, the previously domineering Crystal Emperor immediately cheered up and called out.
"Pa!!"
Her body completely transformed into crystal and, after shattering, Cat Lingling flew out: "Master master, Lingling has become a big tiger meow!"
"Er..."
Bailuo watched the cat pressing closer and closer to his face. He had thought Cat Lingling would become a Holy Beast Princess like her sisters.
However, she still maintained the appearance of a cat, which puzzled Bailuo.
"Big sister."
"Um, aren't you going to transform into human form?"
Hearing this, Cat Lingling thought her little sister was so stupid and meowed a few times. Silver Snow Concubine and Flame Light Princess heard it and were immediately shocked.
Cat Lingling: "What are you two doing, trying to seduce the master? Big dummies!"
As for being an older sister, she didn't care too much about that for now.
Cat Lingling told her sisters that Yatun wasn't lacking in beautiful women. Trying to stand out with female charm was like a fool's dream.
Not to mention the likes of Miracle Entities like Lilith and Isefia, even Master Level beings like Alaya, and those Tree Elves and Fox Women would bring considerable pressure on them.
Moreover, don't forget, they were only the beginning of the Holy Beast Princesses.
If more people follow, those Masters, Kings, and Legends would only outshine the Cute Cat Family, being even more outstanding and attractive.
"Meow!"
"A-meow!"
Silver Snow Concubine and Flame Light Princess instantly turned into Cat Erer and Cat Yiyi, and the three little cats danced around Bailuo once again.
"......"
Bailuo was somewhat speechless by now and glanced at his senior sister, who just smiled without saying a word.
As the Master of Miracles, theoretically, Bailuo could read the memories and thoughts of any of his subjects, but he wouldn't do it since it infringed on their privacy and didn't match his character.
However, the Cute Cat Trio spoke out.
Even in their cat language, Bailuo heard them loud and clear.
He could appreciate the beauty of every one of his subjects and, similarly, could understand the language and actions of any of them, even if they were using their own coded signals, which could never be hidden from Bailuo.
"You three, from now on, will be my guardians."
With one Master and two Heroic Level beings, Bailuo was certainly not afraid of any assassination.
Now with the Third Awakening of the Queen of Avalon's protection, as long as there was no major turmoil in the nation or amongst his subjects, no one could harm Bailuo as long as he did not act himself.
But there was a downside, and that was Bailuo could not act in response.
Otherwise, if the Master of Miracles were to become an invincible existence, what would be the need for soldiers?
The entire legion stayed behind while the Master of Miracles charged ahead, and then no one could harm him. What would be the point of fighting?
The Miracle Power wouldn't allow such a bug to exist; it has its advantages and disadvantages.
"Rest assured, the Cute Cat Family will never let anyone offend you!"
The providence of the nation's fortune was like an invulnerable shield. It would limit it to a Level, such as Master Level. Below that Level, the Master of Miracles could use that ability.
However, once the Master of Miracles used power beyond that of the Master Level, the invulnerable shield would disappear.
Of course, it wouldn't disappear permanently, but it would be invalid for a while.
During this invalid phase, the Master of Miracles would not be invincible, and if someone wanted to assassinate or do something, there were countless ways and means.

"Speaking of which, it reminds me of the Marchioness of Clearspring."
That was the best example Uncle told Bailuo about a Master of Miracles without the protection of subjects.
At that time, the Marchioness of Clearspring was invited to the Holy Empire.
Perhaps out of trust, she hadn't brought many strong warriors, but once there, the others suddenly attacked and subdued (not killed, just captured) all the guards around the Marchioness.
"Your Majesty of Clearspring."
Looking at the surprised and angry Marchioness, the leading Legendary Warrior said respectfully: "Please wait in the side hall for a moment, my master will explain to you shortly."
The protection of the nation's fortune was absolute, and no one could harm the Marchioness, even another Master of Miracles couldn't force each other.
To put it bluntly, if the Marchioness of Clearspring didn't allow Bailuo to touch her, he couldn't lay a finger on her without destroying Clearspring Kingdom first.
Of course, if the Marchioness wanted to leave, no one could stop her.
But the problem was the subjects were captured.
With them as leverage, how could the Marchioness leave? She could only go to the side hall, full of rage yet restrained.
"In the future, Xiao Luo, you'll also attend various meetings of Kings," said his senior sister. "For your safety, you'll definitely need to be accompanied by sufficiently strong guardians."
The Cute Cat Trio, cute little pets.
But in the blink of an eye, they could turn into terrifying Magical Beasts and Divine Beasts, and if Bailuo needed attendance, they could also transform into Holy Beast Princesses to serve him, which was simply perfect.
"Masters and Heroes are still not enough."
The senior sister looked at the White Eagle Family, the second batch, while in the lineage pool of the Sacred Beast Forest, there were still 6 Heroes (synchronized with the starting time of the Treasury) and one King and one Legend.
"It's your turn," said the senior sister. "Yin, you are a battle eagle nurtured by our Yatun Clan, your talent has the potential for Legend."
"I will not disappoint you!"
"Depart!"
White Eagle Yin spread his wings and, with his three siblings, swiftly rushed towards the Sacred Beast Forest: "Let these damned furry animals know our might!"
