Chapter 88.2: Is Rayne... Finally Going to Attack Me? (2)

Rayne nodded. "In terms of biology, it indeed has the same ancestors as Miss Lilia's Little White Duck."

Edaline smiled. "It's just a little darker. How about let's just call it Little Black Duck?"

"Wait, hold on..."

The Great Teacher had a strange expression. "How can you guys tell that this thing is even a duck?"

Wasn't that just a salamander or lizard?!

"Quack!"

At that moment, the Destiny Jade that was hatched let out a resounding cry.

The Great Teacher was speechless.

So... it was because it sounded like a duck.

Both the Great Teacher and Edaline did not know the origin of Little Black Duck.

Rayne could not be bothered to explain to them as there were too many things involved. Thankfully, they did not ask.

In any case...

Rayne looked at the cruel creature that was born by tearing the chest of its mother tenderly, his eyes filled with admiration and love.

It was as Olivia had said.

That was a fiend seed that could destroy the world.

This small salamander possessed the terrifying potential to end an era.

Of course.

What it was going to destroy next was not the weak flesh and blood of the mortal world, but the Black Catastrophes who possessed the same apocalyptic duty as it.

Before long, this ugly and cute creature would thrive in this greenhouse until it grew into a terrifying monster that was worthy of its reputation as a calamity...

Rayne looked at Little Black Duck with a warm gaze.

The next moment.

The Black Catastrophe whose chest was sliced open was suddenly reanimated. It charged forward nimbly and bit Little Black Duck's head before chomping down forcefully with its rows of sharp teeth.

"Q-Quack! Quack, quack!"

Little Black Duck let out a series of tragic cries.

Finally...

Piak!

Little Black Duck's head exploded from the bite!

The pitiful little living being lost its lifeforce instantly.

Little Black Duck was dead!

The Black Catastrophe spat out Little Black Duck's corpse and ignored it.

The Black Catastrophe was not going to eat it.

Because the architect felt that the Black Catastrophes' inorganic digestive organs were enough, he decided to exempt the Black Catastrophes from eating normal food.

The reason why it killed Little Black Duck was merely to kill.

Incidentally, powerful regeneration and lifeforce was also one of the characteristics of the Black Catastrophes.

After even more evolutions, Little Black Duck obtained a tough spine.

In the end, its stomach was ripped open by the Black Catastrophe and it died on the ground.

Thereafter, Little Black Duck continued to evolve...

During this period of time, Edaline could not sit still in the greenhouse and went out to hunt Black Catastrophes on her own.

Through spatial teleportation, she arrived at different regions to kill the Black Catastrophes. This could effectively distract the Black Catastrophes so that they would not notice the greenhouse.

At the same time, Edaline would patrol the surroundings of the greenhouse and eliminate all threats that approached it.

As for the Great Teacher...

Naturally, she would stay in the greenhouse to ensure the safety of Rayne.

This was a very logical arrangement.

Compared to the active Edaline, the Great Teacher naturally did not mind staying in the greenhouse.

However...

How should she put it...

The Great Teacher was feeling conflicted and even... somewhat shy.

After all, every time Edaline went out...

She would be the only one left with Rayne in the greenhouse.

Right now, her feelings towards Rayne were rather... indescribable.

First, she was bewitched by him at the Blazing Sun Wall.

Thereafter, she experienced waves of emotional impact when she read Alice's mind...

In a sense, being alone with Rayne Haines now was an extremely dangerous thing for the Great Teacher.

Thankfully, for the past two days, Rayne had been focused on nurturing Little Black Duck.

The Great Teacher heaved a sigh of relief and gradually got used to the life of staying in the greenhouse with Rayne.

However, just as the Great Teacher was gradually letting down her guard...

Third day since the establishment of the greenhouse.

Rayne sought out the Great Teacher.

He wanted to discuss the divinity of Life with the Great Teacher.

After all, for Rayne, it was probably boring to stay in a sealed environment everyday and watch two dangerous monsters fight against one another.

Coincidentally, the most knowledgeable Great Teacher of the elves was right beside him. Therefore, he wanted to discuss some scholarly topics with her.

However, there was nothing inappropriate about Rayne's request and the Great Teacher could only agree.

The Great Teacher: "Alright..."

Just like that.

In the quiet greenhouse, Rayne and the Great Teacher sat at a table and discussed their opinions casually.

As he spoke, Rayne looked straight into the Great Teacher's eyes with a kind gaze.

The Great Teacher looked elsewhere hurriedly, unwilling to meet Rayne's eyes.

However, in the end, she could not help but steal glances at Rayne from the corner of her eye.

The Great Teacher could not help but feel her heart skip a beat. It was clearly just an ordinary scholarly discussion and she did not know why she was so worked up.

Rayne Haines, are you finally...

Going to lay your hands on me?
