No Comparison, No Harm

The Yunlan Sect had been very busy these past few days, because their beautiful and captivating Sect Master was getting married. The news swept across the entire Gama Empire like a tornado.

Every person or faction that received the wedding news prepared a lavish gift. Then, led personally by their clan heads or sect masters, they formed grand delegations to attend the ceremony and hurried day and night toward the Yunlan Sect.

Thus, during this period, one could often see enormous groups of people from all corners of the Gama Empire traveling in the same direction.

Half a month had passed since Xiao Xian led the Four Great Ninth Order Magical Beasts to the Yunlan Sect. To the great delight of the sect's elders, Yun Yun had half-reluctantly, half-willingly accepted Xiao Xian's proposal, and the wedding was set for one month later.

It was not that they could not get married immediately, but that they needed to give the other factions of the Gama Empire time to react.

In the words of the Yunlan Sect elders, their Sect Master's marriage absolutely could not be handled carelessly. It had to be celebrated on a grand scale. If time had permitted, they would even have sent invitations throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent. As things stood, they could only make do.

In truth, a month was an extremely tight schedule. The Dou Qi Continent was simply too vast. Even a small place like the Gama Empire covered more land than Xia Country in the real world, and even Bear Country, reputedly the largest country in the world by land area, fell short of it.

The Yunlan Sect did not have many experts. The fact that one could become an elder upon reaching the Da Dou Shi realm made that clear enough. There were obvious gaps among the Yunlan Sect's experts at every level. Their only peak-level powerhouses were Yun Yun, a three-star Dou Emperor, and Yun Shan, a peak nine-star Dou Emperor currently in seclusion as he attempted to break through to Dou Zong.

Other than them, there were only two or three Dou Wangs. The rest were merely a few Da Dou Shis keeping up appearances, while the highest cultivation among the other disciples was only the Dou Shi realm. Most were merely Dou Zhes.

For such a massive Yunlan Sect, it actually did not have even a single Dou Ling expert.

As everyone knew, upon reaching the Dou Wang realm in Dou Qi cultivation, one could form a pair of wings from Dou Qi behind one's back, thereby escaping the pull of gravity and gaining the preliminary ability to fly through the sky.

Other than that, whether one was a Dou Zhe or a Dou Ling, unless they cultivated a special flying technique, they could only run honestly on the ground. Those with a little more flair could ride horses at most.

One could easily imagine how inefficient that mode of travel was. Being able to prepare everything within a month was already considered remarkably efficient.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully checking in. You have obtained a Master-level Pokémon Ball, along with one adorable, super-cute Pikachu."

It was another bright and sunny morning. Xiao Xian performed his routine check-in and unexpectedly received a Poké Ball and a Pokémon from the Pokémon anime.

Pikachu: Originating from the Pokémon world, it possessed black, yellow, and red fur, with yellow covering most of its body. It had a lightning-bolt-shaped tail. Its super-cute body and adorable appearance had always made it beloved by women. Special move: 100,000 Volts.

Master-level Pokémon Ball: A special item from the Pokémon world. It appeared to be no more than fist-sized, but contained a miniature space within. It could be used to capture all kinds of Pokémon. Once a Pokémon was successfully captured, it could be stored in the Pokémon Ball. A Master-level Pokémon Ball had a one-hundred-percent chance of capturing a Pokémon.

Looking at the golden Pokémon Ball in his hand, Xiao Xian was rather speechless. It was a good item, but he had no use for it at all. There were no creatures like Pokémon in the world of Battle Through The Heavens, so naturally, a Pokémon Ball was useless as well.

"Pop!"

Xiao Xian casually pressed the button at the seam between the two halves of the Pokémon Ball, then casually tossed it out. With a sound, the Pokémon Ball opened automatically. A flash of white light passed, and a tiny orange-yellow figure appeared on the ground.

"Pika pika!"

Pikachu's uniquely adorable cry reached his ears, and Xiao Xian immediately smiled. Having such a pet that knew how to act cute was actually not bad. At the very least, it could help him win favor with his wife and disciple.

Pikachu's appearance was adorable to the extreme. No female creature could possibly reject such a cute pet.

And that was indeed the case. The chance to prove that Pikachu could charm women of all ages came very quickly.

"Wow! Where did this magical beast come from? Why have I never seen it before? But it's so cute!" Little Fairy Doctor looked at the adorably fluffy Pikachu on the ground, and stars practically shone in her eyes.

Although this magical beast looked rather strange and did not resemble any type of magical beast she knew, that did not stop Little Fairy Doctor from being captivated by Pikachu's ultra-cute appearance. She instantly turned into a little fangirl, rushed forward, and eagerly picked Pikachu up.

"Pika pika."

Being held by an adorable girl, Pikachu immediately showed an expression of enjoyment. With a blissful look on its face, it buried its head in that towering place, completely forgetting Xiao Xian, its master.

Damn it, this Pikachu wasn't male, was it? It was so practiced at taking advantage that it clearly had plenty of experience. It was practically a lecherous old pervert.

What was even more infuriating was that Little Fairy Doctor not only tolerated this behavior, but used her other hand to hold Pikachu's head and press its face tightly into that deep valley, nearly letting Pikachu die of happiness.

Xiao Xian's face turned green as he watched. He had not even received such benefits himself, yet Pikachu had beaten him to it. He wanted nothing more than to snatch it over and stomp it to death.

It was not that Xiao Xian had any improper thoughts toward his female disciple. He had simply been driven to this point by his future wife.

Although the two had already confirmed their relationship and would hold their wedding a month later, Yun Yun had been guarding against him like a thief during this period. She absolutely refused to give him a chance to be alone with her, ruining several of Xiao Xian's plans to seize the opportunity and take her.

Facing a wife as beautiful as a celestial fairy but only being able to look and not touch, Xiao Xian had long been filled with pent-up frustration.

Originally, it had not been a big deal. The wedding was not far away anyway, and he could endure it until then. That was what Xiao Xian had thought as well.

But today, he saw a Pikachu openly taking advantage of a beautiful woman, while the beauty did not mind in the slightest and even wore an expression of enjoyment. Xiao Xian immediately felt deeply unbalanced.

Damn it, he faced beautiful women every day but could not have any of them. Several times, he had wanted to seek relief from his right hand. If he had not slammed on the brakes in time at the last moment, he might have fallen into the tender embrace of his right hand.

He was suffering so miserably, yet Pikachu, a mere pet, received benefits that made others green with envy. Xiao Xian could absolutely not stand for this.

So he rushed forward in one step, grabbed Pikachu by one leg, lifted it upside down, and stared intently at that indescribable place.
