Chapter 110 - 83: Joyfully Obtaining a Little
“Sherri!”
Hearing Uncle’s words, Bailuo immediately had Sherri go to the stable.
Sherri spread her wings and swiftly landed atop the stable. With a flap of her wings, she stirred up a storm, lifting the entire roof off the stable.
Logically, such a commotion should have spooked the horses.
But strangely, in the presence of Sherri, not a single horse panicked. Instead, they all kneeled in unison towards Sherri in the sky, lying prostrate on the ground, and then bowed their heads in a gesture of worship.
They were greeting their Queen, just as the Fairy Clan would when they met Lilith—it was a power they absolutely could not resist.
“Roar!”
With Sherri’s long howl, her wings, which resembled liquid mercury, finally spread out.
They were incredibly large, like crystalline diamonds pieced together, and they continued to extend outward, covering a good portion of the sky, before they suddenly released a blinding light.
“Ah!”
Some of the People of Yatun, because they looked directly at Sherri, felt a sharp pain in their eyes.
“Close your eyes, everyone close your eyes quickly!”
Bailuo was unaffected by Sherri’s power, but the others…
Bailuo hastily ordered Sherri, “Sherri, don’t hurt our own people!”
Sure enough, after the command, Sherri’s silver light stopped affecting the People of Yatun, and everyone finally saw the Miracle Creature in the sky clearly.
At this point, Sherri had undergone a complete transformation.
She was no longer a pure white Pegasus, but had become an even larger, more robust Divine Steed.
Sherri’s body was enveloped in silver-white armor, and her metallic-like wings conveyed an immense sense of beauty and deterrence.
[Silver Wing Pegasus]
Contract: Bailuo Yatun
Tier: Lower Tier
Species: Miracle Creature
Faction: Northbound Land
Status: Second Awakening
“Second Awakening?”
Bailuo found that on the second page of the Black Leather Book, Sherri’s attributes now included a new concept—status.
Bailuo didn’t know the significance of Second Awakening, but from his perception, he realized that the Miracle Power Sherri had just released was more than ten times stronger than her full strength under normal circumstances.
Miracle Creatures have an infinite amount of Miracle Power; the only limit on their power is the output rate.
And now, Sherri’s output capacity had increased at least tenfold.
The boost this gave to her strength was unimaginably great.
“Master.”
Sherri descended from the sky, the silver on her body began to fade, and her wings turned to silver dust that scattered, reverting her back to the form of a common White Horse.
The Silver Wing Pegasus was one of Sherri’s forms, but not one she had to maintain at all times.
Just like the Initial Sprout Holy Pouch and Seed-covering Cloth, White Horse, Pegasus, Silver Wing Pegasus, Sherri could freely switch and change between them, and none affected her strength.
Some asked why distinguish between them at all?
Of course, for looks!
Strength may be temporary, but style is forever!
“Hiss–hiss-”
However, Bailuo clearly didn’t have the time to take a good look at Sherri, because at that moment, many pregnant mares began to wail in pain.
“They’re giving birth! They are giving birth!”
Instantly, all the People of Yatun, anyone with knowledge of horses, sprang into action.
With the experience and techniques the People of Yatun had in horse breeding, coupled with Uncle personally directing, their efficiency was undeniable. “What! What is this?!”
When the fifth Pegasus was born, Yimoteer, who assisted in the delivery, was at first startled, then she exclaimed with joy, “A Pegasus! It’s a Pegasus!!”
“This little horse has wings! This little horse has wings!!”
Upon hearing this, Bailuo hurried over and indeed discovered that this black colt had a pair of wings.
It was a male, and Uncle, with his top-notch horse appraisal skills, immediately declared that when it grew up, it would surely become an outstanding warhorse.
Of course, that was stating the obvious.
After all, how could it be ordinary with wings?
“Another Pegasus was born over here, a white one, a white one!”
Today was destined to be a busy day for the People of Yatun.
Throughout the clan, more than twenty women were helping the mares give birth, and their labor was not synchronized, happening entirely at will.
It might be that as soon as one delivery finished, another would start.
But the results were very pleasing: from a total of 50 mares, 80 foals were born, with the rates of twins and even triplets far exceeding the norm.
Furthermore, they almost ignored the rule of 11 months of gestation; even Radish, who had only been pregnant for three months, gave birth today.
The foal of Radish was an extraordinary female Pegasus.
Since Radish was a horse from the Bai Luo Family, he let Lilith try to endow Radish with wisdom.
Luckily, Radish could adapt to Lilith’s Miracle Power as well.
Benefiting from this as well was Radish’s husband, Pumpkin, which was also one of the first four horses raised by the People of Yatun.
So, compared to horses from outside, Radish and Pumpkin, members of the Fairy Clan, could talk and help Bailuo manage these foreign ‘wild’ horses.
“Now, everyone, come get your Pegasus according to the drawing order we had before,” Bailuo said.
Sherri told Bailuo that a Pegasus was fiercely loyal; once they recognized an owner, they would never betray them in this lifetime.
Of course, Bailuo was the exception.
Bailuo held absolute command over all the Pegasi; no Pegasus could disobey or contradict him if he wished to ride it.
As for the others, they had to raise their Pegasus from a young age, caring for and loving them as family in order to gain the power of their Pegasus.
Uncle called this first batch of born Pegasi the ‘First Generation Pegasus’.
What’s meant by ‘First Generation Pegasus’ is not the first generation, but those Pegasi that were born directly influenced by Sherri’s Miracle Power.
As for Sherri, she was the progenitor of the Pegasi, so she wasn’t counted in terms of generations.
“Hiss— Hiss—”
Although the foals had just been born, they could already run and jump (seems like ordinary foals could too) and they obediently came before Sherri to pay homage.
“There’s no need for such formalities, rise, all of you,” she said.
Perhaps it was having her own Miracle Race, but Sherri was a little over-excited.
Bailuo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He said to the People of Yatun, “Everyone, please give me your draw numbers.”
Draw numbers?
Regarding the distribution of the Pegasi, both Bailuo and Uncle knew they would face issues.
Even though the People of Yatun would not feel discontent, as a leader, Bailuo had to take good care of everyone’s emotions.
Thus, Bailuo suggested they first name the mares, then writing down the names on slips of paper to put into a box, from which the People of Yatun wanting a mare could draw at random.
Whoever drew a Pegasus, then that Pegasus would belong to them.
Since the mares hadn’t yet given birth at that time, no one knew if the horse they drew was going to be a Pegasus-bearing mare.
“Mine’s a Pegasus, mine’s a Pegasus!”
Fiona had drawn Radish, which had the highest odds.
After all, Radish was the earliest horse to follow Sherri, and the constant grace and blessings meant Radish had a very high chance of birthing a Pegasus.
Indeed, Fiona joyfully ended up with a little Pegasus filly and was very happy.
Fiona’s older brother, Nors, received the black male Pegasus foal.
Beyond that, six others also received Pegasi: these included a member of the Treant Race, Lu Anya, and another girl named Liya, followed by Senior Sister, Uncle, Jiera, and John.
