Chapter 124: 124
Chapter 124 – Fairy
Bathed by the afterglow of the setting sun, silence filled the area .
Little Jade and Puppy are staring dully at the human-shaped Phecda, speechless .
The scene just now exceeded their understanding .
In fact, let alone them, even Ye Zhen who has a wide range of knowledge was unable to react the first ti he witnessed Phecda’s Transfiguration, while Qi Qiqi even more so fainted from fright . Of course the main reason why they had such reactions was that Phecda has transford into a legendary creature, a white dragon .
Magic may be too foreign of a concept to this world .
In particular this kind of spell that can change your shape at will, they probably didn’t expect that the true qi inside them has this kind of ability .
“Wow! Turned into a human... the kitten turned into a human!”
Of the two, the first one to snap out of it is Little Jade .
Unlike Xue Qilin imagined, she wasn’t frightened by the unexpected scene, but instead rushed to in front of Phecda, excited .
“Hey hey! Are you also a martial demon?”
The lass appears to know that martial demons can take human form .
It’s no wonder . After all, she has an irregular martial demon as a friend . Xue Qilin glanced at the martial demon who wants to approach Phecda, but then stopped due to lack of courage, thinking that he’s similar to Gong Tianqing .
No, it’s a bit different . Gong Tianqing is timid, but she is not afraid of things . But the martial demon Puppy is a coward, and he may have so inferiority complex .
It isn’t difficult for Xue Qilin to understand how his character developed this way, not at all .
That is the typical disposition of those who have been bullied for a long ti .
In spite of this, Puppy is able to summon the courage to step forward and protect his friend .
Although he can’t use the spiritual qi inside him, and Xue Qilin hasn’t released the aura of a Heaven Realm master . But since martial demons are much more sensitive than humans, he should more or less sense the threat of Xue Qilin .
However, he still blocked in front of Xue Qilin at that mont . This courage is rare, at least for a coward .
“But you have no ears and no tail!”
Little Jade’s enthusiasm is a bit scary .
She circled Phecda repeatedly and even poked her several tis, trying to determine whether the lass the kitten has turned into is real or not .
“I am not a martial demon, I am Qilin’s sword spirit!”
Fool, don’t say unnecessary things! Xue Qilin glared at Phecda .
Sword spirit... or item spirit is an unimaginable existence in this world . Phecda is probably the first case . Xue Qilin isn’t sure what kind of uproar it will cause once Phecda’s existence is divulged .
A complete item spirit has the ability to match a Grandmaster and disrupt the balance of the world . Even the greatly weakened Phecda, under the condition that she’s fully charged with spiritual qi, she can enable Xue Qilin who is a Heaven Realm master to be a match for a Grandmaster for a short period of ti .
If the gap between the Heaven Realm and the Grandmaster Realm is likened to an uncrossable river, then Phecda is a bridge that can be erected on the river for a short ti .
Phecda who realized that she has divulged sothing that she shouldn’t have made an “ah” sound, then promptly covered her mouth and peeped at her owner’s expression with a pitiful look in her eyes . Xue Qilin rolled her eyes, unhappy .
“Hey, Big Sister! Your kitten can turn into a human! It must be an Fairy Cat! My mother said that Fairies have 72 transformations!”
Instead of investigating what a sword spirit is, Little Jade ran to Xue Qilin and uttered thusly, stirred .
Unable to catch up with the other party’s erratic thinking, Xue Qilin was taken aback . But then the other party asked another question that Xue Qilin cannot answer .
“Big Sister, are you a Fairy?”
Little Jade asked with shining eyes .
“Fairy?”
On Celestial Mountain located at Hua Dynasty’s northern border, there lies Celestial Lake . It is said that “Fairies” can be seen on the surface of the lake .
Legend has it that Fairies possess extraordinary, untainted beauty as well as the power to dominate the world . They supposedly descend from the Heavens on quiet nights, bathe in Celestial Lake that contains a qi dragon vein, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to improve their skills .
So the Fairy Little Jade speaks of is a Fairy of legend? Xue Qilin blinked .
“Why are you spacing out again, is that how Fairies are?”
Little Jade crossed her arms like an elder . She doesn’t seem to be afraid of offending Xue Qilin, the supposed mighty Fairy .
Should it be said that she is fearless, or that she is naive? Perhaps she is both . Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose and suddenly had a mischievous idea .
“Hum hum, aren’t you afraid that this Fairy will turn you into a bug with her fairy arts?”
Xue Qilin pretended to be fierce and stroked her finger across Little Jade’s cheek .
Little Jade trembled and jumped up from fright .
“I...I don’t believe you!”
Even though her tone is shaky, Little Jade still said, unresigned: “Unless you show your fairy arts!”
This little girl thinks she’s clever! Doesn’t she just want to see the fairy arts... Xue Qilin doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry .
“Then take a look!”
“Mhm!”
Little Jade stared at Xue Qilin’s extended index finger intently .
Suddenly, a small fla erged from Xue Qilin’s fingertip and illuminated Little Jade’s eyes .
The fla reflected in the bright yellow eyes sways gently .
“Trick...”
Shocked, Little Jade looked back and forth between Xue Qilin’s expression that says “do you believe now?!” and the fla on her fingertip . Puppy standing aside showed an incredulous expression .
“How is it?”
Xue Qilin humd twice while shaking the finger, and the fla on the fingertip swayed accordingly .
“Is this a Demimonde trick?!”
Little Jade grabbed Xue Qilin’s forearm, pulled it to in front of her eyes, and looked carefully .
“There’s no relation...”
Little Jade muttered to herself, which prompted Xue Qilin to wrinkle her nose .
“You’re a troubleso little girl . You asked to see ‘fairy arts’ . The result is presented right before your eyes, yet you’re still not convinced . ”
“Is it really an ‘fairy art’?”
“Whether you believe it or not, it’s up to you!”
Xue Qilin withdrew her hand and extinguished the fla .
Strictly speaking, Xue Qilin is not lying . Eastern magic was originally called “fairy arts” .
“...”
Little Jade and Puppy exchanged a look .
With her arms crossed, Xue Qilin looks like she’s ticked off – of course she is pretending, she isn’t petty enough to bother with small children . Phecda is looking at them with blinking eyes .
“Hey hey, Fairy, can you teach fairy arts?”
Little Jade approached Xue Qilin, clasped her hands, and made a request .
Hey, a typical developnt! Xue Qilin opened her eyes wide and looked at Little Jade .
“Why should I teach you?”
“I...”
Little Jade hesitated and aid her gaze at Puppy .
Is there sothing that she finds difficult to voice? Xue Qilin couldn’t refrain from guessing .
“I want to turn Puppy into a true human!”
Little Jade finally said so .
“Turn into a human?”
Little Jade nodded .
“This way Puppy won’t be bullied!”
“...”
Xue Qilin is left speechless .
So this is the case...
Martial demons are being discriminated by humans . But if they turn into true humans, then there won’t be any need for discrimination .
The best way to join a group is not to achieve a mutual understanding, but to assimilate into it, to change your behavior, speech, culture, clothing, and adornnts .
“You can’t learn it . ” Xue Qilin shook her head, “You’re unable to learn it, you don’t have the talent for it . ”
Although it’s cruel . But rather than giving false hope, it is better to tell the truth directly .
Um, there is no difference between a broken hope and a lie .
“I see...”
Little Jade lowered her head dejectedly, like a particularly wilted eggplant .
Xue Qilin wants to comfort her, but she doesn’t know what to say . Instead it was Puppy who...
“Little Jade, it’s okay!”
He took Little Jade’s hands timidly, consoled her, and advised her not to take it to heart .
“Hey, Qilin, can’t you help them?”
Unable to bear it, Phecda pulled Xue Qilin’s sleeve .
Hearing the question, Little Jade looked at Xue Qilin with hopeful eyes .
Don’t look at like that... Xue Qilin tried to avoid the fervent gaze . She doesn’t like this kind of gaze .
“I can’t . ”
“You can use Transfiguration!”
Phecda didn’t notice the contradiction inside Xue Qilin’s heart .
Shut up! Xue Qilin warned Phecda with her eyes .
Phecda shrank back, not knowing how she angered Xue Qilin .
Xue Qilin can indeed “engrave” a Transfiguration magic array on Puppy . In this way, as long as Puppy pours spiritual qi into the magic array, he can perform “Transfiguration” .
However, at the end of the day, Transfiguration is rely a high-level transformation spell, its effect isn’t permanent . It needs to rely on spiritual qi to be maintained . In case Puppy encounters sothing unexpected and the Transfiguration is lifted, if soone happens to see this and learns that he disguised himself as a human to enter the human community, what will happen to him? It is not difficult to imagine his ending .
Deception and concealnt, this is a behavior that humans hate the most .
If the caster is a martial demon, an existence they don’t want to see, their anger will presumably be even more frightening .
Therefore, Xue Qilin doesn’t intend to agree to this and push the other party into a pit of fire .
She can’t stay by Puppy’s side forever and help him out when he is in trouble .
Since you cannot take responsibility till the end, then it’s best not to help .
At this mont...
“... Hey, are you done talking? I have been waiting for a long ti now! If you are done talking, can you teach the trick from just now?”
An innocent and sweet voice ca from behind Xue Qilin .
Very close, probably right behind her . Xue Qilin even felt the other sides breathing when speaking .
“...!”
When did she arrive behind ? Along with a burst of coldness, Xue Qilin turned around violently .
