Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Chapter 4 Awakening the Little Ones

As Qin Henian turned around, what came into view was Hei Xiazi standing motionless in the courtyard, wearing sunglasses. Deep red tears of blood welled up in his eyes behind the sunglasses, and the tears kept falling down his cheeks, some dripping into his clothes and some falling to the ground.

Without further delay, Qin Henian walked a few steps to Hei Xiazi, still wearing a faint smile on his face, but the indifference in his eyes had disappeared a bit.

"Little Pixiu! Why aren't you coming out? Do you want your grandfather to invite you?"

As Qin Henian finished speaking, Hei Xiazi felt his body suddenly tremble uncontrollably, and a golden light burst forth from his body. The golden light transformed into a phantom the moment it shot out. The phantom had a lion-like body, a dragon-like head, and was covered in golden scales. Its eyes were large and round like gongs, seemingly shining brightly as it looked at Qin Henian in front of it.

Little Pixiu: "Greetings, Bifang Azu!"

The little Pixiu suddenly lowered its head and bowed, making a sound like a child, before greeting Qin Henian.

"Hey~ Pixiu little cub, don't be shy, get up! From now on, just call me Ancestor Henian!"

Qin Henian watched with a smile as the little Pixiu got up, and then saw it turn around and circle around Hei Xiazi.

Little Pixiu: "This is what my human form looks like? It's so bizarre! And a bit ugly... If I were to merge with a human form, wouldn't my intelligence drop?!"

Hei Xiazi exclaimed, "I'm blind! Even blinder than myself! The blind man is clearly so handsome! Super incredibly handsome, okay?!"

Although Black Bear couldn't move, he could still hear and see everything happening in front of him. Watching the creature that had rushed out of his body judging him, he calmed down and seemed to understand. But seeing his Pixiu seem to despise him, he felt something was wrong with him. If he could move, he might have argued with it about who was uglier!

This is absolutely intolerable!

After the little Pixiu cub successfully woke up, Qin Henian ignored it and turned to walk towards the somewhat troublesome Qilin cub, Zhang Qilin.

Just as Qin Henian reached Zhang Qilin, before he could even speak, a fiery red beam of light shot out from the other's body, transforming into a small creature with a head like a sheep, hooves like a wolf, a round head, and a body covered in glossy red fur, exuding a menacing aura.

Little Qilin: "Thank you for your guidance, Bifang Azu!"

Qin Henian waved his hand, looking at the fiery red little Qilin, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

This little kid is so young, yet he insists on acting all mature. This little Qilin is really something else!

"Just like the little Pixiu, you can call me Ancestor Henian!"

"However... you must be able to sense that you are different from the little Pixiu. Your human form has a lot of toxins in its body, which affects the purification of your bloodline. In the future, the purification of your bloodline will be much slower than that of the little Pixiu!"

After listening to Qin Henian's words, the little Qilin phantom nodded, feeling helpless. It was clearly very talented, and as long as it worked hard in its human form, it would eventually transform and awaken. However, it was entangled in toxins, which had worn away countless years of its life.

After the two little ones were awakened, Qin Henian looked left and right, his gaze finally landing on Hei Xiazi's face, a conflicted expression on his face. Then he raised his hand and removed the restraints from the cubs' bodies.

In an instant, Zhang Qilin and Hei Xiazi were thrown to the ground, both fully conscious. They sat up within seconds, both bewildered and speechless, the events having occurred so suddenly...

"See? See? I told you two you had to call me Azu~ you little rascals~"

At this moment, Qin Henian's cool voice suddenly rang out beside the two of them with a hint of teasing.

"By the way, Pixiu... oh no, that blind brat! Your bloodline has just been awakened, and the little devil in your eye socket can't take it. Why don't you ask your grandfather to help you pull that little devil out?"

The little devil in his eyes!

The moment Hei Xiazi heard this, he realized that the little imp in his eye was an abyss ghost spirit, and the other party said that it could be removed.

What small business owner! Bah! That was his great-grandfather!!!

"Please, please help me, Ah Zu! I can't take it anymore, Ah Zu!"

Pfft!

Qin Henian thought Hei Xiazi would consider it before making a decision, but he didn't expect the other party to shout so readily!

Could it be that the ghost spirit bullied this person too much? The speed at which it changed its expression is incredible! It's exactly the same speed as the Bifang clan chief's wife!

"Cough cough cough... cough cough, it's a good thing you're not a woman, your temperament is exactly the same as the female birds in our tribe!"

Qin Henian said irritably, walked up to Hei Xiazi, raised his hand and took off the sunglasses on the other's face, then casually placed his hand on the other's eyes, and then pulled out a wisp of black energy from the other's eyes as if he were just randomly pulling in the void.

As soon as the black mist was pulled out, a series of crackling sounds followed...

"I didn't do anything, I just pulled out that brat's true spirit, who knew it would be so fragile, it was 'purified' by the sunlight before it even really did anything..."

Qin Henian looked at the black energy dissipating in his hand, a hint of helplessness on his face, and said to Hei Xiazi.

"This blind man thanks you, senior!"

Not knowing how to put it, seeing the things that had tormented him day and night disappear, Hei Xiazi subconsciously thanked the other party, but didn't want to call the other party "Azu".

Ahem! If you don't want to shout, there's no need to shout randomly!

Qin Henian raised his hand to his forehead. In their ancient times, the word "senior" could not be used casually, so Qin Henian did not tolerate the other party and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Don't call me 'senior,' according to seniority you should call me 'Grandpa'! If you don't want to call me that, just call me by my name!"

Upon feeling a thud on his shoulder, Black Bear immediately changed his way of addressing it.

"Okay, He Nian!"

“…”

Hearing the conversation between the two, the Pixiu, who was standing to the side watching, felt a chill run down its spine. The next second, it turned into golden light and shrank back into the Black Bear's body.

Meanwhile, after Zhang Qilin regained his mobility, he looked at the little Qilin in front of him and didn't know what to do.

Unfortunately, the little Qilin was rather quiet and reserved. For a moment, the two stared at each other, neither knowing what to do next or what to say...

"Hey! Dumb guy, your little Qilin is kind of cute~"

After the Pixiu returned to its body, Hei Xiazi and Qin Henian walked towards Zhang Qilin together. They watched the two, one big and one small, staring at each other without saying a word. Hei Xiazi looked on with curiosity and amusement.

"Blind, what do we do?"

Upon hearing Hei Xiazi's voice, Zhang Qilin turned his head to look at the other person, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Uh... what to do? Hei Xiazi didn't know what to do either. Helpless, Hei Xiazi had no choice but to ask Qin Henian.

"He Nian~ I just overheard your conversation. Does the fact that my Pixiu is easier to deal with than the mute man's Qilin mean that there's something wrong with the mute man's Qilin?"
