"The words of the four elders are reliable, but that human is really unreliable. Which of the world's top strongmen isn't a genius born from heaven, with a body full of majestic energy, a belly full of strategies and tactics, and grand ambitions, but he's too shameless." The second elder shook his head in anger.
"Believe in the Fourth Elder, I was still as small as Shao Hao when the Fourth Elder was already a senior at the peak of Ming Shen. People from the same generation as the Fourth Elder, even Beast Respect, have died several times, but the Fourth Elder is still here. The Fourth Elder's current strength and vision are not something we can compare to." The Great Elder Zhu Mu sighed endlessly.
On the surface, he was a great elder, and the other three also listened to him. However, this fourth elder was not ordinary. Although the fourth elder seemed like an ordinary weak woman in her thirties, she had actually lived for hundreds of millions of years. The fourth elder was too low-key, having been only the fourth elder for countless years, never asking about clan affairs, and her strength was unfathomable.
On the other hand, Yuan Ye and Rui Xi followed the direction indicated by the map, evading one array after another, mechanisms, and powerful magical beasts guarding them, and walked for a whole day before finally leaving this vast mountain range.
Turning back, but seeing that the mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, although it's majestic, there doesn't seem to be anything special about it. Who would have known that inside is a paradise, where the first of the five great divine beasts, the Qilin clan resides. Ordinary people just pass by this ordinary mountain range, and even if someone accidentally enters, the outer perimeter of the mountain is guarded by powerful magical beasts, which seem to be living and thriving here, but are actually guarding the mountain gate. Humans who can break through these magical beast guards are few in number, and even if they do, deeper inside, there are various array traps set up by the Underworld Gods, quasi-sages, or former Qilin Beast Sages, which are many times more terrifying than the magical beast guards. Who can make it deep into the Qilin Mountain Range?
More importantly, if you didn't know there was a Qilin clan inside, who would dare to rush in desperately?
"Xiao Xi, being able to come to this Qilin mountain range, although it was Xiao Hun's guidance, is even more the will of heaven. Otherwise, with our current strength, we wouldn't have been able to get in."
"Oh." Rui Xi responded simply, to be exact, she had no idea what it meant to enter the Qilin Mountains this time.
"Brother Yao, why didn't we wait for that little rascal just now and leave together? Isn't he coming with us?"
Yuan Ye listened, and his heart was also a bit reluctant. "I thought that guy was just an ordinary demon beast, and we could become good friends in the future. But now, this little rascal's identity is too big, how would those five old monsters let him follow me around?"
Yuan Ye shook his head and gently hugged Rui Xi, "Little Xi, from now on it's just the two of us."
"Brother Yao!" Rui Xi also hugged Yuan Yao.
Just then, Yuan Ye saw a white figure running over like flowing light.
"Roar!" A familiar roar, Rui Xi also turned her head in surprise, and a small mixed ball the size of a kitten suddenly jumped between Yuan Ye and Rui Xi.
"Haha, you little rascal, have some conscience!" Yuan Ye excitedly hugged the little scamp and kissed him repeatedly.
"Hoo-hoo!" The little rascal let out a burst of sinister laughter, and as soon as Yuan Ye put it down, he spat at Yuan Ye's hand. Two pure white spirit objects, about the size of thumbs, appeared, emitting a fusion of light.
Qilin's horn—— Chiwen!
"Ball brother, did you steal it?" Yuan Ye excitedly held that small piece of the meteorite in his hand, although it was only a small piece, he was already very satisfied.
The adult Qilin is even taller and larger than a horse, its horn is at least one meter high. The five elders gave Yuan Ye's Qilin horn which was also about one meter long, but the little ball brought back was only the size of a thumb. Yuan Ye naturally thought it was just a small piece of Qilin. However, the little ball shook its head repeatedly and let out two low growls, and the Qilin in Yuan Ye's hand suddenly grew to one and a half meters long, and when combined with the other one, it was even more magnificent.
"My god, is this for real?! It's actually changing!?" Yuan Ye was utterly shocked because the Qilin horns he had obtained before wouldn't change.
"Hoo-hoo!" The little ball of fur let out a proud smile, and only then did Yuan Ye remember that the little ball of fur could also grow bigger, such as during battles when it could transform into a three-meter-tall white giant beast. Of course, the little ball of fur's transformation was relatively clumsy and simple; presumably after Snow Qilin grew up, its divine powers would become even more perfect.
"Ah, it would be great if I could turn into an ornament." Yuan Ye said with a full heart. The light of the sun burst forth in a brilliant flash, and then slowly shrank down, soon forming a sun-shaped necklace, complete with chain.
"This has turned into a small moon." Yuan Ye said immediately.
Soon a moon necklace was also formed, the two necklaces were of suitable size, with true shapes and perfect colors, giving off a peaceful and serene feeling.
"Xiao Xi, you want the moon, I want the sun." Yuan Ye said as he put his arm around Rui Xi's neck and looked at her carefully, feeling that she was very beautiful.
"Healthy and sexy skin, white peaceful decorations, perfect match. I'm indeed a genius."
"Brother Yao, this is so comfortable," Rui Xi closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a while, then said: "Before, I always felt unsteady and insecure, but now I've finally figured it out. Even if you occasionally leave me, you'll always come back."
"Huh? Your mood has changed?" Yuan Ye glared, then looked at his necklace with a gloomy expression, "Come on, buddy, make me smarter too, come on!"
Unfortunately, there was no reaction at all, but instead made Yuan Ye extremely depressed.
"Whatever, these changes are all gradual and imperceptible. A stylish man like me can't not make progress," Yuan Ye comforted himself, "Let's go back to Hunan Province after participating in the Bai Jie War this time. We have to keep a low profile and can't take risks again."
"Whoa!" The little rascal let out an excited yell and ran to the front first.
"My goodness, I say how you're so happy every day, with a group of people taking care of you. Growing up like this, it's no wonder you've become the Beast Lord. If I were in your shoes, I'd be enjoying life every day too. Poor me, handsome and elegant as I am, but unfortunately not born invincible with countless wives."
……?
Seven days later, Yuan Ye, Rui Xi and Xiao Hunqiu reappeared in Hunluo City, a month had passed since the last great war. The city of Hunluo had long since returned to its former tranquility, as if nothing had happened at all. At most, those guests would mention that great war when they were eating and drinking tea.
Yuan Ye found an inn on the other side of the city to stay in. After a long and dusty journey, they were all very tired by nightfall. Yuan Ye and Xiao Hunqiu slept in one room, while Rui Xi was next door as usual.
In the dead of night, the door creaked open and Yuan Ye's eyes snapped wide awake. He saw Rui Xi tiptoeing in with her pillow, wearing only a simple sleepwear that he had designed for her - a semi-transparent one. It was clear she wasn't wearing a bra underneath, and all that covered her private parts was a small pair of underwear. The sight made Yuan Ye's blood boil with excitement, banishing any remaining sleepiness.
"Xiao Xi, what are you doing?"
"Brother Yao, I'm scared, can I sleep with you?" Rui Xi said timidly. The last blow had left a shadow in Rui Xi's mind, and this time back to Hunluo City, Rui Xi was extremely resistant. However, no matter how unwilling she was, Rui Xi would follow Yuan Yao without hesitation, not even uttering a word of complaint or a small opinion. Staying in the human inn again, Rui Xi suddenly thought of the scene from a month ago when a group of thugs surrounded her.
"Alright, alright!" Yuan Ye hastily nodded.
