After several years of growth, she now possessed strength on par with the Thunder Dragon Emperor and the Octopus Beast Emperor.
The one that escaped was a whale.
Even before the virus swept across the world, this creature was already a dominant force in the ocean.
Now, after mutation, it had become extremely ferocious and had been named the Deep Sea Demon Whale Emperor.
This meant that there were now three beast emperors in the deep sea: Thunder Dragon Emperor, Octopus Beast Emperor, and Deep Sea Demon Whale Emperor — all of whom were unkillable.
And now a new one had appeared. No one knew whether it could be slain this time.
If it escaped again, humanity would face the threat of four beast emperors.
Who knew, maybe one day she'd be deployed and end up dying in the jaws of a monster.
So, when she unexpectedly met Night Rain — someone who stirred her heart — she didn't hesitate to take the initiative.
So that she wouldn't leave behind any regrets!
Behind them, Tang Xiang and Fu Junyu both gave strange looks at the couple holding hands.
They exchanged glances, then quietly backed away.
"Do you think we should ask Sister Qin and Sister Jiang to send over Shanshan and Susu too?" Fu Junyu said.
"I think that's a good idea," Tang Xiang nodded.
This piece of 'Tang Monk meat' that is Night Rain — it's better he ends up with one of their own than with an outsider.
They never would've expected it.
Yao Rao, one of Hong's three elite guards — a planetary-level powerhouse — would act so decisively.
With so many experts in the Extreme Martial Hall, she hadn't looked at any of them, yet she suddenly took a liking to their little Rain.
Could it be she discovered some secret about him?
At the back of the aircraft, a soft light beamed down directly onto Night Rain as the hatch opened from both sides.
"Let's go! I'm transferring control to you now!"
Yao Rao, holding Night Rain's hand, led him inside the aircraft.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as they entered, the lights flicked on, and the rear hatch closed behind them.
Bathed in warm light, the cabin looked luxurious and dreamlike.
The interior space was large, about 50–60 square meters, enough to hold a dozen people without feeling crowded.
At the center was a heavy alloy conference table, with two rows of wide seats on either side.
There were also a changing room and a liquor cabinet fully stocked with various red and white wines.
At the front was the cockpit with three seats in a row, and through the glass, one could see the scenery outside.
Yao Rao began transferring control of the aircraft.
"Beep!"
A red light scanned the communication wristwatch on Night Rain's wrist, starting the installation of the intelligent control system.
At the same time, a virtual screen appeared in front of them.
"Hello, Master. I will now introduce the intelligent aircraft's operating procedures…"
A moment later, the system was fully installed, and the tutorial completed — Night Rain had officially become the owner of this Heaven-Earth-class aircraft.
"Give this aircraft a name!" Yao Rao said with a smile.
"Let's call it Little Yao,"
Night Rain said as he pulled Yao Rao's slender waist, soft as a water snake, into his arms.
"Alright, Master. Little Yao is at your service!" the electronic voice responded again.
Yao Rao's charming face flushed red as she rolled her eyes at Night Rain.
She loved to smile, and her enchanting smile was something even Night Rain couldn't resist.
Since he couldn't resist, there was no point in holding back.
"Is the primary control of this aircraft really mine?" Night Rain asked as he gazed into Yao Rao's now misty eyes.
"Yes."
She nodded.
Then her eyes widened — Night Rain kissed her red lips.
Yao Rao wanted to resist — though she had been attracted to him from the start, she hadn't expected things to progress so quickly.
But no matter how she tried, she couldn't muster any strength.
Logically, with her strength at the peak of Planetary Level Stage Two, she could easily push him off with a flick.
But…
As she felt his masculine energy, all her strength seemed to drain away, leaving her dazed and enchanted.
Seeing her nod, Night Rain no longer held back. Since she was already in the bowl, he wasn't going to let her escape — that wasn't his style.
When opportunity knocks, act decisively.
After a while, Night Rain picked Yao Rao up and placed her on the central alloy table.
"Little Yao, fly around the Earth once, then head up into space to have some fun!"
Night Rain said as he began undressing.
"Yes, Master!"
In an instant, the aircraft soared into the sky, accelerated rapidly, and disappeared above Yangzhou City.
Two hours later.
Night Rain lay in the spacious main pilot's seat, with Yao Rao snuggled lazily in his arms.
Her body was limp like water, her hair a mess, her gaze dreamy, half-asleep.
She looked like someone who had just been pulled out of water.
Only after a long time did Yao Rao feel some strength return. She didn't dare look at Night Rain.
Recalling the past few hours, all she felt was overwhelming shame.
"Focus. See if you notice any changes in your body," Night Rain said gently while stroking her.
"I…!"
Yao Rao opened her mouth wide in disbelief:
"I actually broke through."
"Yes, you broke through." Night Rain smiled and nodded.
With his confirmation, she finally came to her senses and carefully felt her dantian.
Inside were three miniature planets, spinning and releasing strange energy waves.
Strands of genetic source energy emanated from the micro-planets and merged continuously into her body.
Her body was being transformed.
From cells, muscles, bones, meridians, internal organs, bone marrow, even her hair — everything was evolving.
She had truly broken through — from the peak of Planetary Level Stage Two to Stage Three.
She was now at Planetary Stage Three!
You had to understand — of the 70 global parliament members, more than half were around Stage One, and most of the rest were at Stage Two.
Only a handful, aside from the five Great Speakers, had reached Stage Three.
These included top powerhouses like:
Zhu Xi and Jia Yi from Huaxia,
The Beast, chief of the three personal guards,
Singh from South India,
Isadora from the HR Alliance,
Yan Hai,
Sokolov from the USSR…
Now she had caught up to them in one leap.
She thought it would take her years to overcome this bottleneck, and yet… just one time with Night Rain, and she broke through.
Moreover, this breakthrough felt different than her previous ones.
Even though it was just a minor rank increase, it felt like a complete rebirth.
Now that her strength had returned, Yao Rao felt different — like when she advanced from a 9th-level apprentice to the planetary level.
A qualitative transformation.
The three micro-planets in her dantian had subtly changed — they had evolved.
And it was all thanks to the cultivation technique Night Rain gave her.
She quickly understood: his technique had elevated her entirely — physically, spiritually, and energetically.
Her mental power, physical strength, and even her lightning abilities had all received massive upgrades...
