Chapter 259 First Encounter with the Water Kirin
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the white mist on the lake, but in her heart she was thinking, no wonder everyone says that the Gu family has been declining ever since Gu Hai took over as the head of the Gu family.
These ancient magical beasts were used by them as a tool for amusement by spraying water mist.
As the sound of string and wind instruments arose, people began to dance gracefully on an island directly opposite the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the dancers, and she was somewhat dazed. However, they were all Supreme Bodies, and she was even a Nine Yuan Supreme Bodies, which was a level higher than Gu Duo's. Why did Gu Duo have an ancient magical beast as his spirit beast, while she only had a... snake?
Oh, it's not a snake.
It is a dragon.
Before she transformed into a dragon, Jiaolong was nothing more than a snake with legs in her heart.
I wonder what kind of tribulation the Nine Heavens is. And how can one transform into a dragon?
We need to find an opportunity to ask him properly.
Ye Qing'an took a sip of wine from her cup, then turned her head and saw that the surroundings were shrouded in mist, and the people who had been sitting in the pavilion were nowhere to be seen.
Ye Qing'an's hand holding the wine glass twitched slightly, and he tilted his head back to drink the wine in the glass.
She knew it was a trap.
Fantasy?
Ye Qing'an remained unmoved, as if she were a mountain. All the people in the pavilion had vanished without a trace, except for the dancers opposite her. Therefore, in this illusion, her opponents were these dancers.
As Ye Qing'an was thinking, he suddenly heard a roar. The roar must have come from a beast. Along with the roar, there were heavy footsteps that made the ground tremble.
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes and soon saw a Qilin appear by the lake.
The qilin was about four or five meters tall, its entire body was green, and it wore chains on its head and body.
Water Kirin.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed on the water unicorn.
Therefore, the person she truly needs to deal with in this illusion is this water unicorn.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and drew a summoning circle.
A flash of silver light appeared, and Jiu Xiao stood beside Ye Qing'an: "What's wrong? Weren't you at the banquet?"
"Where is this place?" Jiuxiao appeared, facing the opposite bank, and did not see the water unicorn. "My God, where is this place? This misty place looks like a fairyland!"
No sooner had Jiuxiao finished speaking than a roar suddenly rang out.
Jiuxiao trembled with fright: "Mommy, what the hell?"
"..."
Ye Qing'an rubbed her forehead, somewhat reluctant to admit that this was her spirit beast.
Jiuxiao had already turned his head and seen the Water Qilin. Jiuxiao was stunned, squinted his eyes and remained silent for a long time: "This is... a Water Qilin?"
"Do you recognize it?"
This surprised Ye Qing'an somewhat.
“I recognize it.” Jiu Xiao frowned. “But how did this water unicorn end up here, and how did it get tortured into this state? What’s with these chains?”
"This is an illusion set up for me by Li Siya and Miss Gu. This water unicorn should be Gu Duo's spirit beast. After Gu Duo's accident, the spirit beast fell into the hands of his elder brother Gu Hai. Gu Hai forcibly broke the spirit beast contract between the water unicorn and Gu Duo, and then imprisoned the water unicorn here to create mist for the amusement of the ladies and young ladies in the mansion."
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Jiu Xiao's usually playful face lost its smile, replaced by a cold expression: "You're courting death."
"Looking for death?" Ye Qing'an toyed with the jade cup in his hand. "What do you mean?"
"The July of an ordinary spirit beast can indeed be forcibly removed using a Xuanling technique that can suppress it completely, but after the removal, the spirit beast's spiritual power will drop significantly."
"But the water unicorn is an ancient magical beast, and it doesn't fall into this category at all. Once an ancient magical beast forms a contract, it can never be broken. When the master lives, the spirit beast lives; when the master dies, the spirit beast dies."
Ye Qing'an placed the jade cup in her hand on the low table in front of her: "Then, what if the master's soul is incomplete? Will the spirit beast be affected?"
Jiu Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an: "Of course I will. Think about what I looked like when your soul was incomplete? I was completely sealed in that Cloud Dreamland, unable to do anything, and had no abilities whatsoever."
"Gu Duo's soul is incomplete?" Jiu Xiao quickly realized and hurriedly asked.
Ye Qing'an did not hide anything: "Yes, Gu Duo is not crazy, but someone has extracted one of his souls and one of his spirits."
“No wonder.” Jiuxiao paused. “Gu Duo’s situation with this water unicorn is quite different from yours and mine.”
"I was sealed in the Cloud Dreamland for two reasons: first, because your soul was incomplete, and second, because I had not yet formed a spirit beast contract with you. I am your destined spirit beast, and can only be your spirit beast. Therefore, I must wait for your soul to return to its place, form a contract with me, and remove the seal from me."
"But the spirit beast contract between this water unicorn and Gu Duo has already been broken. Gu Duo had one of his souls and one of his spirits extracted, and the spirit beast can sense this. Because of this, a portion of its spiritual power will be sealed, and it will also be affected by its master's condition, becoming dull and losing consciousness."
Ye Qing'an nodded, understanding now.
Because Gu Duo had one of his souls and one spirit extracted, the water unicorn's spiritual power decreased, making it dull. However, Gu Hai was a fool who thought that it was because he had broken the contract between the water unicorn and Gu Duo that the spirit beast's spiritual power had decreased, so he locked the water unicorn here.
The water unicorn seemed to have spotted Ye Qing'an and Jiu Xiao, and roared as it walked towards them step by step.
"So, is there any way to deal with it?"
Before Jiuxiao could answer, the water unicorn suddenly pounced on Ye Qing'an, and the pavilion where Ye Qing'an was located was knocked to the ground by the water unicorn's horn.
Then, the water unicorn looked down at Ye Qing'an and Jiu Xiao with a menacing gaze, and then raised its foot towards Ye Qing'an and Jiu Xiao.
Ye Qing'an moved extremely quickly, lunging to the side to dodge the water unicorn's attack.
Then, following the water unicorn's leg, it quickly rushed up, leaped onto the water unicorn's head, and grabbed the water unicorn's horn.
The water unicorn then began attacking everywhere with its horns...
Just as the water unicorn was about to use its horn to smash into the artificial hill beside it, Jiuxiao finally moved.
Jiuxiao suddenly transformed into its original form, its size roughly the same as the water qilin. It opened its blood-red maw towards the water qilin and let out a roar.
Immediately, Ye Qing'an sensed that the water unicorn seemed to quiet down a bit, and then roared at Jiuxiao again.
Jiuxiao roared back.
The dragon and the water unicorn, however, seemed to be having a conversation, exchanging words and roars, their responses echoing each other...
The scene was quite shocking, yet it also seemed somewhat comical.
