If You Can't Have It, Destroy It

The small beast's brown pupils were filled with coldness:

Humans are indeed all greedy and evil!

This small beast is named Lin Xi, a descendant of the ancient divine beast Kirin.

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

But due to the greed of human cultivators, they tried to forcibly contract it with a master-servant contract while Lin Xi was young.

Lin Xi resisted to the death. Seeing that it would not comply, the other party, with the mentality of "if I can't have it, I'll destroy it," injured it.

Only then was it forced to flee to the Questioning Immortals Realm, and it secretly vowed to return and take revenge.

Lin Xi's cultivation was still shallow, only late-stage Spirit Sovereign Realm, so it could naturally feel the powerful aura emanating from She Yunzi.

Perhaps it was heaven's favor, but She Yunzi passed by it. Due to the obstruction of the bushes, he did not notice it.

Furthermore, the Kirin's innate abilities allowed it to conceal its presence very well.

She Yunzi naturally did not want to give up so easily.

An unknown demonic beast ahead, and a mysterious aura behind; failing to obtain both opportunities felt truly bizarre.

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

Even he dared not disobey the orders of his superiors.

Thus, he could only leave with a resentful expression.

From a distance, Xia Wantang, who had witnessed all of this, couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

So this is the exceptional luck of a Son of Destiny.

[Host, host, this System understands.]

[No wonder I couldn't detect the Son of Destiny's presence earlier; it's one of the ancient divine beasts—a Kirin!]

[But shouldn't it be in the upper realm? Why did it come to the Questioning Immortals Realm?]

Hearing this, Xia Wantang also felt surprised:

The novel didn't mention anything about this at all.

Could it be that besides the ensemble of male protagonists in the novel, there are actually many other Sons of Destiny, but because the story doesn't revolve around them, they never appeared?

Xia Wantang crouched down, just enough to see the small blue beast hiding under the bushes, and couldn't help but ask in her heart:

"Why couldn't She Yunzi find it?"

[The Kirin, along with the Dragon, Phoenix, Turtle, and Pixiu, are known as the Five Great Auspicious Beasts and are powerful ancient divine beasts. They naturally possess many secret techniques, so concealing their aura is nothing difficult.]

"I see... Did it detect me?"

[It probably did.]

Hearing this, Xia Wantang's brow furrowed slightly:

This Kirin is in bad condition; it was likely injured by humans.

Now that she and it are not of the same race, it's inevitable that it would be wary.

It seems she'll have to play a role and proceed cautiously.

With this thought, she stood up and walked towards Lin Xi.

Lin Xi had naturally sensed Xia Wantang's presence long ago.

However, the other party looked frail and had very low cultivation, so it didn't pay her any mind.

It wasn't until she walked up to it and squatted down that Lin Xi was astonished:

Even that old man in the Spirit Emperor Realm didn't find me, how did this girl detect me?

Instantly, it became even more vigilant, its brown pupils fixed on Xia Wantang, ready to see what she would do next.

"Oh? Are you injured?"

A gentle voice sounded from above. Lin Xi looked up and saw an enlarged, peerlessly beautiful face.

Lin Xi hadn't noticed Xia Wantang's appearance from afar, but now, directly experiencing the impact of her beauty, it was surprised again:

Are humans in the lower realm this beautiful? Even more beautiful than the demonic beasts in the upper realm!

Demonic beasts, after transforming, generally look better than humans, let alone ancient divine beasts.

Lin Xi had transformed during the early stage of the Spirit Sovereign Realm, but now it was heavily injured, so it couldn't transform.

While Lin Xi was in a daze, Xia Wantang began to heal it with water-elemental spiritual energy:

"It's a pity my cultivation is low, and I just learned this healing technique. I don't know if it will work."

Initially, Lin Xi almost bristled when it saw the other party activating spiritual energy, but in the next moment, feeling the warmth from behind and the goodwill emanating from the other party, it couldn't help but waver:

This human seems different from other humans; she didn't hurt it.

A little strange, uncertain, let's observe further.

[Xia Wantang gained 10 favorability points from Lin Xi. Current favorability: 10. Faith points obtained: 100.]

Hearing the notification of affection points, Xia Wantang's face was filled with worry:

"How is it? Is it any better?"

Lin Xi was silent for a moment before finally speaking:

"Thank you."

Its voice was youthful and clear, indicating it was still a cub.

With a reply received, Xia Wantang seized the opportunity, a beaming smile on her face:

"This is too dangerous for you. I'll secretly take you home to heal."

As she spoke, she fearlessly embraced Lin Xi, ignoring its dangerous gaze.

Lin Xi: ?!!!

It had originally intended to struggle free with all its might, but...

The scent of this human was so pleasant, its body so soft, and being held was actually quite comfortable?

Lin Xi was a demonic beast and didn't understand the concept of propriety between sexes.

Furthermore, as a young Kirin, its heart was pure. It simply found being held by Xia Wantang very comfortable.

It had initially planned to put on a show of struggling, but being held all the way, it actually felt a bit sleepy.

That was right. Ever since it had been targeted in the Spirit Immortals Realm, it had been on the run.

After arriving in the Questioning Immortals Realm, it had just begun to relax when it was chased by She Yunzi again.

Now that the crisis was finally over, all the fatigue rushed over it, naturally making it feel drowsy.

With this thought, Lin Xi fell into a deep sleep...

However, it didn't expect that when it opened its eyes again, it was already the next morning.

Upon waking, it saw Xia Wantang's slender waist.

Startled, Lin Xi immediately jumped up. Just as it was about to say something, it saw Xia Wantang lazily sit up, her face a picture of confusion:

"Little beast, you're up so early."

Yesterday evening, after secretly bringing Lin Xi back to the Xia family, she had begun cultivating, refining and absorbing the newly acquired Jade Purity Pill. Her cultivation had also broken through to the Profound Heaven Realm Late-stage.

Sensing the change in the other party's spiritual energy, Lin Xi was very surprised:

"You... 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, so it naturally couldn't fool Lin Xi's eyes.

Hearing this, Xia Wantang blinked:

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

"Little beast, what about you? Why were you appearing half-dead in Luoxia City?"

Lin Xi had fallen asleep too quickly yesterday. She had originally wanted to ask the other party something, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity.

Thinking about how she had completely let down her guard and fallen asleep yesterday, Lin Xi felt a pang of annoyance:

It must be that this human's scent was too good, which was why it had let down its guard so easily!

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

So, this human should be trustworthy...?
