Chapter 581: Beasts Have Feelings
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
It warmly rubbed up against Zong Shou’s leg, and also licked his arm.
Zong Shou was startled, wondering what was happening. He was feeling really surprised, and “Tanqiu” opposite him was also stunned, totally speechless.
A mont later, the person broke out into a laugh, “So that was the case, it really is the energy of the Saint King? My elder sister was right. My Common People Path actually gave rise to a Saint King...”
Zong Shou was startled. Weren’t those just rumors? Even if they were real, how was it possible?
That Tanqiu directly made the words obvious. “The Qilin is fierce, but it is actually a kind beast, born from the energy of Heaven and Earth, seen by people as a sign of prosperity. It was said that once a Saint Emperor appears, a Qilin will appear too. The reason this Water Qilin would be so close to you, also ans...”
While he said that, that “Tanqiu” looked over, his gaze totally weird. There were emotions, thoughts, anticipation, and also disbelief, “It is already treating you on the sa level as those Saint Emperors of ancient tis!”
Zong Shou was startled as he looked at that beast beside him, which had already shrunk to the size of a lion.
He frowned and took in a deep breath. Zong Shou then shook his head, “What prosperity, what Saint Emperor appears, and Qilin appears, I don’t believe it!”
Those few Saint Emperors of ancient tis might have really existed, and they should have been respected and worshipped for their governing skills.
Those so-called Qilin myths were definitely randomly added in by people from the future.
After all, the future tens of thousands of years from now definitely wouldn’t believe in such mysterious things.
“There were indeed so areas which were added in by others. However, during the ancient era, beside each Saint Emperor there would be a Qilin, that was the truth! Speaking of which, my senior brother specifically checked; although he didn’t know the reason, he had said the sa thing to us. The aura of each Saint King would be beneficial to the Qilin, which was why the mont they went away from their King Path, the Qilin would also leave...”
Zong Shou listened quietly, and decided that this explanation was one that he could accept.
However, how could a person like him actually be regarded on the sa level as those ancient Saint Emperors? Why did he felt more preposterous the more that was said, and he was a little embarrassed...
It was either there were problems with this Water Qilin, or that “Tanqiu” was talking nonsense...
Tanqiu laughed once more with a mocking intent, “Do you know that if your Qilin appears in the world, those Confucians would kowtow to you and worship you as the Saint Ruler? Think about it, if those corrupted Confucians find out that their unbeatable Saint Ruler, ancient Saint King, was actually like you, what kind of expression will they have? Would they swallow all the Confucian classics, like the Great Learning and the Doctrine of the an?”
“Eh?” Zong Shou was startled, disregarding Tanqiu’s words. “MY Qilin?”
This Water Qilin had at most for so reason felt closer to him, but it didn’t have any connection with him and couldn’t be said to be his...
“You didn’t notice? Parasitic life seal, life and death contract!” As Tanqiu said that, he pointed at Zong Shou’s left hand. “The Qilin has this natural ability that it can use the seal to obtain other people’s essence energy. However, the person who receives its seal will have benefits. Thus living and dying together was fair!”
Zong Shou looked at his left hand, seeing that the place where the Water Qilin had licked suddenly had a red mark.
It wasn’t a seal, but a rune. Using spiritual energy to activate it, he now had a thread of connection with this Qilin.
There were threads of essence energy being sucked away. However, Zong Shou could also obtain large amounts of water elent spiritual energy from within, each of them gaining what they needed.
He was totally stunned. He gave up on the chance on the Book of Universe and ran over to swallow a water elent God beast which could combat the Sky Burning Fla, not to build so life and death contract with this Water Qilin.
However, since this Water Qilin ca to his side, his conflicting Dual ridians weren’t as painful as before.
He cald down a little.
“This is the truth about the auspicious beast Qilin, swallowing other living beings’ essence energy to grow...”
When Tanqiu said that, he smiled and asked, “Are you worrying about your bloodline conflict? Now you can be at ease! I ca here to help you solve this matter! You are Xuanshuang’s disciple, and I can’t let you die just like that. Hehe, if you fell just like that, wouldn’t I not be able to see the nice show in the future?”
Zong Shou’s eyes lit up. “Solve? Do you know the reason?”
Even he felt that the changes in his body were weird. He had obviously used yin and yang to diate it, and it had stabilized. However, in the blink of an eye more changes occured. He couldn’t think of the reason.
“Bloodline flowing down! You had been through it once, so why didn’t you think of it?” Tanqiu shook his head slightly, filled with helplessness like he was talking to soone who was dumb and couldn’t be taught. “You are the only son of that person in his life, and the person he is closest to, which was why the influence you received was the biggest. The rise of the bloodline should be a good thing... but unfortunately, to you it is a calamity!”
Those words stopped in his ears, like the bell in a morning, jolting him to his senses.
...Zong Weiran? His father...
In the original history, although his father gave up on the Book of Eon Extre Life for him and dropped several Grades, he was still called the Nine Tail Fox King and Maniac Blood Monster Saint!
He had already advanced to the Nine-tail level!
Who knows where he went, for his cultivation to have progressed so quickly that he Awakened the ancestral bloodline and advanced to the Nine-tail level!
It was the true Nine Tails, unlike him. Although he had the Eight-tail blood, there was still a tail which hadn’t appeared.
...No wonder his body would suddenly have such changes, and he was unable to control himself.
He laughed bitterly to himself. Father, father, you really made things tough on your son, nearly killing in this Yin Dragon Canyon...
He looked in anticipation at this Tanqiu. This person only said the reason, but not the thod to solve it.
However it seed his life was probably safe.
In the next mont he was stunned, seeing Tanqiu point towards that Water Qilin. “To balance the bloodline is really simple, can’t you just swallow it?”
F***!
Zong Shou nearly swore out loud, having a feeling he was being played.
They were already bound by life and death, so how could he swallow it? Moreover, he had one more peak God Realm by his side. With his strength, how could he swallow it?
Even if he had the help of this Tanqiu, he wouldn’t be able to do so. The main thing was that his physical body and soul couldn’t take it.
“You didn’t notice? It has already beca old and won’t be able to last more then a few years...”
Zong Shou was startled and looked carefully once more. His eyes showed a look of pity. Before this, he was shocked at how large the aura of this Qilin was, and didn’t notice that the aura was showing signs of weakening.
Although the Qilin was muscular and strong, it was really old. At this mont, it was barely holding on, just to stand there.
Wasn’t the legendary Qilin known for living tens of thousands of years? It had a far longer lifespan than the dragon race!
“Trapped here for years, unable to absorb suitable essence energy, naturally it would fall!” Tanqiu sighed in pity. “I originally wanted to capture it to beco our Common People Vast Habitat’s palace-protecting God beast. Legend had it that qilins were all really determined, and if it t soone it didn’t recognize, it would rather die. However, I didn’t believe that I really couldn’t make it surrender...”
Zong Shou swore in his heart, feeling pity for the Qilin by his side. Even if this fellow wasn’t swallowed by him, it couldn’t escape the hands of this Tanqiu. It was destined to end up in tragedy, to think it behaved so closely with this person.
However, he felt weird and asked, “Since it couldn’t absorb essence energy, then why didn’t it leave?”
With its peak God Realm strength, power far beyond that of Shenxiao, if it wanted to leave this Yin Dragon Canyon, it definitely couldn’t be stopped.
Why did it end up trapped in such a state?
This ti Tanqiu didn’t reply, his expression filled with lancholy. The Water Qilin gave out a sharp howl.
It suddenly dove down into the water.
Zong Shou’s gaze followed its body down. In just a mont he saw a slightly smaller Qilin, this ti covered in green scales, in the depths of the lake.
It already gave off no aura, one could see nurous shocking wounds by its stomach. Its body was also frozen in the cold water.
“That was because of its partner! Its partner had already died. It wasn’t willing to be alone and thus remained here.”
At this mont Tanqiu gave a sad laugh, “Beasts have feelings, letting think of senior brother and elder sister...”
Zong Shou’s expression turned serious, his brows showing a look of respect.
Who knew that this Water Qilin actually had such a story.
However, in just a short mont, waves surged on the surface of the lake. The Water Qilin appeared once more, in its mouth holding a baby beast it pushed towards Zong Shou.
Zong Shou was ntally connected with it and understood. However he still asked, “You want to hand it over to to take care of?”
Taking a close look, he felt that this baby beast was exactly the sa as a dog, there was no difference at all. At this mont it opened its eyes, its wet and watery pupils were sizing him up curiously, revealing happiness and a sense of closeness.
The Water Qilin nodded and then looked forward and below the water with a nostalgic expression.
A bloody glow exploded out of its brow, splitting into three waves; one into the body of the little beast, and another into Zong Shou’s left arm, making that crimson rune expand and stretch.
The last one charged into the center of his brows before he was even able to react.
Zong Shou wanted to resist, but he was too shocked. This was actually the life mark and the essence blood source of the Water Qilin!
He didn’t resist anymore, using the Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique to absorb it all into the depths of his body...
