I was just making up techniques… how did all of you become Emperors? Chapter 617: The Three Ancestors of Hongyuan

Chapter 617: The Three Ancestors of Hongyuan

In the mountain forest, beside a stream, Cao Youqian set up a grill and skillfully roasted dragon at. As sizzling sounds rang out, the fragrance of roasted dragon at drifted with the wind.

Nearby, the Thunder Qilin sniffed the aroma and involuntarily drooled. Looking at the massive dragon head of the demonic dragon not far away, it muttered, “Little demonic dragon, I never thought your at would be this fragrant. If I had known earlier, I would have called you Fragrant Dragon.”

Pa!

Cao Youqian could not hold back and slapped the Thunder Qilin on the head. “You brat, do you still want to eat dragon at or not? What nonsense are you spouting here?”

“Yes,” the Thunder Qilin replied.

Unwilling to miss such a delicacy, it shut its mouth after speaking and quietly waited.

Monts later, Cao Youqian tossed the roasted dragon at to the Thunder Qilin. He then took out sacred wine from his storage ring, eating at in large mouthfuls while drinking deeply, looking exceptionally carefree and bold.

Soon, however, Cao Youqian sensed the Thunder Qilin staring at him. Turning his head, he asked, “Big Lei, why are you looking at like that?”

The Thunder Qilin said nothing, only swallowing a mouthful of saliva as it stared at the wine flask in Cao Youqian’s hand.

“So you also want to enjoy fine food and strong drink. Fine, I am in a good mood today, so I will let you taste this world’s finest wine.”

Cao Youqian took out a bowl, filled it to the brim, and handed it over. The Thunder Qilin slled the rich aroma and drank the bowl dry in one gulp without hesitation.

After one bowl of wine went down, the Thunder Qilin showed an unprecedented look of bliss. Smacking its lips, it said, “Brother Qian, what is this thing? Why is it so wonderful?”

Cao Youqian laughed and said, “This is sacred wine, brewed by my master. You being able to drink it is a blessing cultivated over eight lifetis.”

“Can I have another bowl?”

The Thunder Qilin blinked its lantern-sized eyes as it spoke, giving off an unexpectedly cute impression.

Cao Youqian rolled his eyes. “Don’t even think about it. With your constitution, one bowl is already your limit. You should hurry and eat more dragon at while it is hot, or you will not get the chance later.”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible.”

As the Thunder Qilin spoke, it suddenly felt the world spinning. The Cao Youqian before it split into four, and it burst out laughing. “Brother Qian, why did you turn into four?”

Cao Youqian subconsciously rubbed his forehead and muttered, “I should not have let you drink even one bowl. I was careless.”

“I can still drink.”

At this mont, the Thunder Qilin was like a little drunkard, babbling incessantly.

Cao Youqian said irritably, “You brat, do not force to beat you while I am in such a good mood.”

“Co on, hit if you dare.”

After one bowl of wine, the Thunder Qilin felt that the whole world belonged to it and completely ignored Cao Youqian. While speaking, it took a big bite of dragon at, making Cao Youqian laugh outright.

Cao Youqian paid no attention to this little drunkard. Though arrogant, he would not go so far as to beat up a drunk.

Ti passed second by second. After throwing a few drunken fits, the Thunder Qilin collapsed onto the ground and fell asleep, leaving Cao Youqian alone to quietly enjoy the delicacies.

Nothing happened through the night. Early the next morning, the Thunder Qilin groggily opened its eyes and saw that Brother Qian was already cultivating. Scratching its head subconsciously, it muttered, “What exactly happened yesterday? Why does my head feel so heavy?”

Cao Youqian looked at it with disdain. “With that pitiful drinking capacity of yours, do not ask such an embarrassing question. In the future, when it cos to drinking, you are better off sitting at the children’s table.”

“Oh.”

The Thunder Qilin responded obediently as fragnted images from the previous night surfaced in its mind. It finally understood why Brother Qian had spoken that way, and realizing those foolish acts were all its own, it felt an urge to dig a hole and bury itself.

“By the way, you know where that demonic dragon’s lair is, right?”

Cao Youqian asked seriously. Since he had already suppressed a demonic dragon at the Half-Saint Realm, there was no reason not to loot its lair, otherwise this trip would have been wasted.

“I know. I will take you there right now.”

At the thought of the demonic dragon’s death, the Thunder Qilin’s previous displeasure vanished instantly, replaced by pure joy.

Cao Youqian leapt onto the Thunder Qilin’s back. “Lead the way.”

“Alright.”

The Thunder Qilin slowly headed toward the demonic dragon’s lair. Along the way, neither man nor qilin encountered any danger.

This made the Thunder Qilin feel bored, and it casually asked, “Brother Qian, you suppressed the demonic dragon so decisively yesterday. Were you not afraid that its ancestor would co looking for trouble?”

Cao Youqian said disdainfully, “That fellow may claim to be the direct grandson of the Dragon Ancestor, but if it truly held an extraordinary status among the dragon clan, it would not co to such a place to play the tyrant. Moreover, it carried no treasures at all, which shows that, like you, it has little standing among its own ancestors.”

Hearing this, the Thunder Qilin said helplessly, “Brother Qian, can you stop being so hurtful when you speak?”

“Haha…”

Cao Youqian could not help laughing. “I am only telling the truth. No wonder my master always says people dislike hearing the truth, because the truth is too hurtful.”

“…”

The Thunder Qilin was speechless and then asked, “So, Brother Qian, you are the disciple of a truly important figure in your family?”

“That is right. Whether in my family or under my master, I was always a favored one.”

As Cao Youqian spoke, mories of his youth in the sect and clan surfaced in his mind.

“Then why were you also exiled like ?”

After saying this, the Thunder Qilin turned its head with a half-smile, its punchable expression seeming to say that Brother Qian should stop pretending, as they were both unwanted.

Pa!

Cao Youqian slapped the Thunder Qilin on the forehead and said with a laugh, “You brat, you still dare to mock . I am not afraid to tell you that I am a trusted confidant of my master. The reason I ca out was to see how vast the world is and what interesting places it holds. Even if I encounter so Witch God or Demon God, the treasures my master bestowed upon would allow to escape.”

“Then what if you encounter the Three Ancestors?”

The Thunder Qilin asked subconsciously.

“Which Three Ancestors?”

This was the first ti Cao Youqian had heard such a term.

“No way, no way. Brother Qian, you actually do not know that the strongest beings today are the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Ancestors. They are existences that surpass Witch Gods and Demon Gods.”

As the Thunder Qilin spoke, pride appeared on its face. In this world, beasts revered the Qilin clan above all.

“Then I will run back to the sect. The ancestors of my sect will naturally have ways to deal with these so-called Three Ancestors. Besides, would the Three Ancestors really lower themselves to deal with a small figure like ?” Cao Youqian said.

“That is true.”

The Thunder Qilin naturally did not believe that within Brother Qian’s sect there existed a being capable of directly facing the Three Ancestors. The human race was the weakest among all races, with many humans living under the protection of demon clans, and even the occasional Witch Gods being the weakest of their kind.

While one man and one qilin conversed, they arrived at the demonic dragon’s lair.

The Thunder Qilin stopped and said, “Brother Qian, that Five Elents Mountain ahead is the demonic dragon’s lair.”
