If You Cannot Get It, Destroy It

Coldness filled the small beast's brown pupils:

Humans truly are all greedy and evil!

This small beast was named Lin Xi, and she belonged to the ancient divine beast lineage of the Kirin.

Lin Xi originally lived in the upper plane of the Questioning Immortals Realm—the Spirit Immortals Realm.

However, due to the greed of human cultivators, they had tried to forcibly bind Lin Xi with a master-servant contract while she was still young.

Lin Xi swore to resist to the death, and seeing that she would not submit, the other party embraced the mentality of "if you cannot get it, destroy it" and injured her.

Only then was she forced to flee to the Questioning Immortals Realm, secretly vowing that she would definitely kill her way back to exact revenge.

Lin Xi's cultivation was still shallow, merely at the Spirit Sovereign Realm Late-stage, so she could naturally sense the powerful aura on She Yunzi.

Whether by the grace of heaven or not, She Yunzi happened to pass right by her, and thanks to the concealment of the bushes, he did not notice her.

Additionally, the innate abilities of the Kirin could conceal one's presence remarkably well.

Naturally, She Yunzi had no desire to give up so easily.

With an unidentified beast ahead and a mysterious aura behind, he had failed to obtain either opportunity, which was truly bizarre.

Just as he was preparing to continue searching the woods, an urgent transmission suddenly came from within the sect, demanding all elders to return immediately to Wuji Hall.

Even he dared not defy the will of his superiors.

Therefore, he had no choice but to depart with a look of indignation on his face.

In the distance, Xia Wantang, who had witnessed all of this unfold, could not help but sigh inwardly in her heart:

So this is precisely what the extraordinary luck of a Son of Destiny looks like.

Host, host, this system knows.

No wonder we couldn't detect the presence of the Son of Destiny earlier; it was because it is one of the ancient divine beasts—the Kirin!

Yet shouldn't it be in the upper plane? How did it run all the way to the Questioning Immortals Realm?

Hearing this, Xia Wantang also felt quite surprised:

The novel didn't mention this matter at all.

Could it be that, aside from the ensemble male leads in the novel, there actually exist many Sons of Destiny, only they never appeared before because the story didn't revolve around them?

Xia Wantang crouched down, just able to see the small blue beast hiding under the bushes, and could not help asking inwardly:

Why couldn't She Yunzi discover it?

The Kirin, along with the dragon, phoenix, turtle, and pixiu, are collectively known as the Five Great Auspicious Beasts, as well as very powerful ancient divine beasts. Naturally, they know many secret techniques, so hiding one's aura is a piece of cake.

I see... Then did it discover me?

It should have.

Hearing this, Xia Wantang furrowed her brows slightly:

This Kirin's condition is bad, most likely injured by humans.

Now that she and the other party do not belong to the same race, it is inevitable that she will be guarded against.

It seems she can only craft a persona and take things slowly.

Thinking to herself, she stood up and took the initiative to walk toward Lin Xi.

Naturally, Lin Xi had long since perceived Xia Wantang's presence.

It was just that the other party looked weak and fragile, and her cultivation was also very low, so she simply hadn't taken her to heart.

It wasn't until the other party walked right up in front of her and squatted down that Lin Xi felt extremely astonished:

Even that old man at the Spirit Emperor Realm failed to discover me, so how did this lass manage to detect her?

Instantly, she grew even more vigilant, her brown pupils staring straight at Xia Wantang, ready to see what she wanted to do next.

"Eh? Are you injured?"

A gentle voice rang out from above, and Lin Xi looked up, catching sight of a magnified, peerlessly beautiful face.

Having been far away just moments before, Lin Xi hadn't noticed Xia Wantang's appearance. Now, experiencing the direct visual impact of such beauty, she was once again taken aback:

Do humans in the lower realm actually grow this pretty? They're even better-looking than the demonic beasts of the upper plane!

After taking human form, demonic beasts generally looked better-than humans, let alone ancient divine beasts.

Lin Xi had taken human form when she was at the Spirit Sovereign Realm Early-stage, but right now she was heavily injured, so she had no way to transform.

Just as Lin Xi was dazed, Xia Wantang began of her own accord to use water-attribute spiritual power to heal her:

"It's a pity my cultivation is lowly and I've only just learned healing spells, so I don't know if it will have any effect."

Originally, upon seeing the other party channel spiritual power, Lin Xi had almost bristled in alarm. However, the next instant, feeling the warmth on her back and the goodwill released by the other party, she could not help wavering somewhat:

This human seemed different from other humans, as she actually wasn't hurting her.

A bit strange, uncertain, I'll observe a bit more.

Xia Wantang gained 10 favorability points with Lin Xi; current favorability points: 10, exchanged for 100 faith points.

Hearing the favorability broadcast, Xia Wantang wore a look of utter concern on her surface:

"How is it? Are you feeling a bit better?"

Lin Xi was silent for a moment, yet still spoke up:

"Many thanks."

Her voice sounded youthful and bright-toned, showing that she was still merely a cub.

Having obtained a reply, Xia Wantang pushed her luck, speaking with a smiling and beaming expression:

"You are far too dangerous like this; let me secretly take you home to heal your injuries."

As she spoke, ignoring Lin Xi's dangerous gaze entirely, she scooped her straight into her arms.

Lin Xi: ?!!!

Originally, she had intended to completely flip out and break free, but...

The scent on this human's body was so fragrant, her body so soft, and being held actually felt rather comfortable?

Lin Xi was a demonic beast, and fundamentally didn't understand notions of maintaining proper distance between males and females.

Added to the fact that she was still a Kirin cub with a pure and innocent mind, she simply felt that being held by Xia Wantang was very comfortable.

She had originally wanted to put up a front and struggle a bit, yet as she was carried all the way, she actually began to feel somewhat drowsy.

That was right; ever since she was targeted in the Spirit Immortals Realm, she had been hunted down all the way.

After coming to the Questioning Immortals Realm, no sooner had she drawn a breath of relief than she was chased running by She Yunzi.

Now that the crisis was finally resolved, all her fatigue surged up at once, making drowsiness inevitable.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi drifted off into a muddled sleep...

Yet what she did not expect was that when she opened her eyes once more, it was already the morning of the next day.

Upon waking up, the first thing she saw was Xia Wantang's slender waist.

Startled, Lin Xi jumped up instantly, and just as she wanted to say something, she saw Xia Wantang lazily sitting up and speaking with a bewildered and innocent expression:

"Little beast, you woke up so early."

Yesterday evening, after she had secretly brought Lin Xi back to the Xia Family, she began meditating and refining the newly obtained Jade Purity Pill, absorbing it until her cultivation also broke through to the Profound Heaven Realm Late-stage.

Feeling the spiritual power fluctuation on the other party, Lin Xi was extremely surprised:

"You're the human who saved me yesterday?"

"How is it that after just one night, your cultivation has broken through?"

The Nine Heavens Ice Glaze Hairpin could only deceive cultivators below the Spirit Sovereign Realm; naturally, it couldn't fool Lin Xi's eyes.

Hearing this, Xia Wantang blinked:

"Because I am Xia Wantang, the Saintess of the Azure Cloud Palace. My talent is naturally better than that of ordinary cultivators."

"Little beast, what about you? How is it that you appeared in Luoxia City at death's door?"

Yesterday, Lin Xi had fallen asleep far too quickly. Originally, she had still wanted to extract some information from the other party's mouth, but unfortunately, she hadn't gotten the chance.

Recalling how she had actually slept soundly yesterday without any defenses whatsoever, a wave of vexation arose in Lin Xi's heart:

It must have been because this human smelled too pleasant, which was why she let down her guard!

However... yesterday the other party truly hadn't taken advantage of her weakened state to harm her.

Then this human should be someone who can be trusted, right...?
