Cao Youqian: I Want to See Heaven and Earth's Backlash

"I never imagined that there were Qilin in this world."

Cao Youqian looked at the Qilin, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird approaching from afar and murmured to himself.

The Qilin was surrounded by lightning, and its nostrils made a slight rumbling sound when it breathed, which instantly attracted his attention.

Cao Youqian would naturally not accept a Qilin as a disciple, but he could take it as a mount; riding it would be quite impressive.

The divine beasts parted ways in different directions along the way, but the Qilin walked towards Cao Youqian's location, a slight smile playing on its lips, "Fate, how wondrous!"

Soon, the Thunder Qilin appeared in front of Cao Youqian. He smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Halt."

Upon hearing the voice, Thunder Qilin stopped in his tracks, looked down, and saw a Human Race blocking his path. An impatient look appeared in his eyes as he slowly said, "This god has no favor to bestow upon a lowly mortal like you today. Get lost."

It was feeling very depressed. A few days ago, it saw a beam of fortune descend from the sky. It had hoped to use this beam of fortune to break through its cultivation realm and become a Demon Emperor, but it was too late. The beam of fortune dissipated halfway through its journey.

It wandered around the place where the light of fortune had dissipated, but found nothing of fortune, nor the treasure. It could only return to its cave by the same route.

Upon hearing this, Cao Youqian's lips curled up slightly. "Little Qilin, I'm not here to ask you for an opportunity, but to give you one."

???

Thunder Qilin looked at the Human Race before him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha..."

This is the funniest joke I've ever heard since I was born! My Qilin Clan is the darling of heaven and earth, what opportunities could a mere Human Race like you possibly offer me? Since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being impolite!

As soon as it finished speaking, it spat out a bolt of lightning that struck Cao Youqian.

Seeing Cao Youqian stood still with his arms crossed in front of him, letting the lightning strike him.

Completely unharmed!

The Thunder Qilin froze on the spot. Although the lightning it spat out was not heavenly thunder, it could still instill fear in all living beings. How could this Human Race in front of it be completely unharmed?

"Hehe."

Cao Youqian chuckled, "That's all you're capable of. No wonder you can't enter Miaomiao Mountain. It seems you're not exactly a favorite among the Qilin Clan."

Upon hearing this, Thunder Qilin was instantly enraged and jumped up and down. It was indeed not a chosen one of the Qilin Clan, otherwise it would not have been assigned to such a place to rule the mountains.

It glared at Cao Youqian, "Boy, even if it's true, you can't say it! Today I'll show you the power of my Qilin Clan! Roar!!!"

With a furious roar, the Thunder Qilin was enveloped in lightning, and countless bolts of lightning flew out from its body, raining down on Cao Youqian.

Cao Youqian stood there expressionless, stretched his neck, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth. "Push harder, didn't you eat?"

I'll eat you!

Enraged by Cao Youqian, Thunder Qilin opened its blood-red maw, intending to swallow this despicable Human Race.

"Looks like you're not very bright either; you still can't see reality clearly."

As Cao Youqian spoke, he threw a punch at the Thunder Qilin.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Thunder Qilin was knocked to the ground by Cao Youqian's punch.

Cao Youqian slowly walked forward, jumped onto the head of the Thunder Qilin, and looked at the divine beast with a half-smile, saying, "Are you more awake now?"

Thunder Qilin wasn't stupid; he quickly realized that the Human Race before him was no ordinary person. He hurriedly said, "Great Shaman, I don't know in what way I have offended you. Please, Great Shaman, show mercy."

"I still prefer your previous arrogant and unruly demeanor."

Cao Youqian looked at the Thunder Qilin with a mocking expression and said slowly, "Of course, I'm not the kind of person who holds a grudge. As long as you agree to one small request, I'll spare your life."

"Great Shaman, please speak."

Thunder Qilin said this aloud, but in his heart he made a mental note of the Great Shaman's gaze. "Can't I call for reinforcements even if I can't beat him?"

When my kin arrive, I don't care what kind of Great Shaman you are, you will all become my Qilin Clan's meal.

Cao Youqian said unhurriedly, "I'm still missing a mount, you know what I mean."

That's it?

Thunder Qilin paused for a moment, then asked, "I wonder what kind of mount the Great Shaman likes? I can help you catch one."

"Readily."

Cao Youqian gave it a thumbs up. "I love a mount like you. I wonder if you'd be willing to serve me?"

"Willing..."

Thunder Qilin paused before even uttering the word "intention." After all this time, this mere Human Race Great Shaman actually wanted to use him, a noble Qilin, as a mount. He shook his head, saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Moreover, my Qilin Clan is the darling of heaven and earth. If you dare to sign a contract with me, you will surely suffer a backlash from heaven and earth."

"Really?"

Cao Youqian shrugged and said, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. I'd like to see what the backlash from heaven and earth will be like."

???

Thunder Qilin stared at the guy in front of him with a bewildered look, a thought flashing through his mind: Has this guy lost his mind? Or did I not express myself clearly enough?

Seeing the bewildered expression on the other party's face, Cao Youqian smiled and said, "You don't believe me? Then let's start signing the contract."

After speaking, he cast a spell to establish a contract. As a powerful expert in the Nirvana Realm, writing a spirit beast contract was not a difficult task for him.

"Don't even think about it!"

Thunder Qilin refused without even thinking.

"Looks like the lesson I gave you earlier wasn't enough." Cao Youqian said, raising his fist to smash it into Thunder Qilin's forehead.

Bang, bang, bang...

With a muffled thud, Thunder Qilin's head was smashed into the ground.

After a few punches, Thunder Qilin chickened out and quickly said, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I'll sign, okay?"

Since I can't beat them, I'll join them. When the backlash from heaven and earth comes, I'll have a chance to break free of my restraints and even devour this Human Race Great Shaman. Once this Human Race Great Shaman is dead, no one will know about this, and I'll still be the high and mighty Qilin divine beast.

That's more like it.

As he spoke, Cao Youqian jumped off Thunder Qilin.

The man and the beast quickly formed a contract. The moment the contract was formed, the Fengyun changed drastically. A strong wind arose within a radius of dozens of miles, and thunderclouds rolled in the sky.

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning struck Cao Youqian on the ground.

Seeing this, Thunder Qilin's lips curled into a slightly excited smile; this Human Race's Great Shaman was about to be finished.

But its smile quickly froze...
