CHAPTER 527: CHAPTER 440: MIREL’S SPECIALTY (4,600 WORDS)_3

In other words, unless Mirel can elevate her tier to Star Shining, or at least Extraordinary peak, she won’t be able to offer Li Zheng any significant help in combat.

As it stands, her effectiveness in battle is not as good as Sakura’s.

After all, Sakura specializes in control abilities, which don’t require a high basic tier, just a battle sense that can keep up.

"Not bad, not bad, it’s already quite good," Li Zheng casually encouraged her, "How long have you been training?"

What he was more concerned about was how long Mirel had been practicing to become so skilled. Those substantial whip shadows weren’t something just anyone with Whip Mastery or whip specialization could produce; it was somewhat akin to mastering Swordsmanship to the extent of Sword Qi.

"About seventy years?" Mirel tilted her little head, appearing a bit unsure herself.

Oh, seventy years?

That’s not too bad, it shows her talent isn’t much higher than mine...

Li Zheng nodded with relief, suddenly realizing: "How much?!! Seventy years??!!"

He looked Mirel up and down: "Seventy years ago, could you even wield such a long whip?"

Seventy years ago, which means when she was ten.

An Enchanting Demon at ten years old is equivalent to a one-year-old on Earth.

Whose one-year-old could run around wildly and wield a whip over three meters long?

Mirel sensed Li Zheng’s specific implication and explained, "Actually, I’ve looked like this since I was eight, and I haven’t changed since."

Li Zheng was once again shocked, stammering out: "You Enchanting Demon Race truly are uniquely privileged!"

Looking like this since eight!

Not reaching full adulthood until one hundred sixty!

Which means...

One growth stage of an Enchanting Demon could outlast most of the elderly in Earth’s longevity villages!

What an enviable physique!

To Earthlings, this essentially means eternal youth, right?

Oh, the kids still in school won’t be envious at all, staying like this for one hundred fifty years, which means attending school for one hundred fifty years for Earth kids.

Like hell they’d be envious!

Working adults might envy it to madness, a one hundred fifty-year student life!

How enviable!

Li Zheng rubbed his forehead and asked feebly, "Do you have any other special skills?"

"Well, there is one," Mirel said awkwardly, "But this skill requires a conscious target to showcase. And it’s best that you, my master, experience it personally for an objective and real experience."

At this point, Mirel recalled that her skill might inconvenience her master, causing her to blush, which was quite charming.

Li Zheng looked at her "shy" expression and immediately misunderstood: "Your special skill isn’t the ’that kind of skill’ the Enchanting Demon Race is known for, is it?"

Mirel thought for a moment and nodded vigorously: "That’s right! Basically, all Enchanting Demons have this skill!"

Li Zheng immediately declined with respect: "Forget it, your mother would kill me if she found out!"

"Kill you?" Mirel asked puzzledly, "But my mother encourages me to practice regularly, I often have guards help me train this skill, and she never stopped me."

"Huh???"

Li Zheng felt a sting of suspicion—could the Enchanting Demon Queen be fooling him? Maybe the Enchanting Demon Race had no such limitations on increasing their strength? Was it all just an excuse so her daughter wouldn’t be bullied by him?

"Well then... I suppose I can cooperate with you a bit," Li Zheng thought that since the Enchanting Demon Queen was being untrustworthy, deceiving him first, then he wouldn’t hold back either. At worst, it’s a small price to pay...

Worth it, totally worth it!

"Okay."

Little Mirel tightened her grip on her little whip, becoming even more nervous. Her blush spread to her ears, making her look cuter and more enticing.

Turns out I guessed right!

Li Zheng thought to himself, the Enchanting Demon Queen really was careless, thinking a personal warning could prevent her daughter from being taken advantage of, while Mirel ended up revealing everything on her own.

Of course, he had no real intention of taking advantage of Mirel, he was just joking around; such a small child... uh... such an aged child... hissing... that’s not right either...

Anyway, with Mirel’s appearance, how could Li Zheng possibly act upon such thoughts?

Especially considering her age, which was harder to accept than her appearance.

"I was just saying—wait, what???!!"

Before he could finish explaining, Li Zheng’s expression changed dramatically!

The next second, countless whip shadows descended upon him, impenetrable, blotting out the sky!

There must be tens of thousands!
