Chapter 60: Picking Up a Follower
You You wasn’t swayed by his friendly attitude. Instead, she grew more vigilant. The Presence radiating from him dwarfed anything she’d sensed since arriving in this world – even those God Transformation Cultivators guarding celestial maidens couldn’t compare. No, all those people combined wouldn’t reach one-tenth of his power!
What’s worse, she suspected he was holding back.
No doubt about it – this was a major BOSS!
Her muscles tensed. For the first time, she worried her half-baked cultivation skills might not protect Lin Feng in a fight. Instinctively, she slapped her guardian beasts bag. "Little monster!"
White light flashed as a fluffy white guardian beast in pet clothes appeared on the water surface. It gave a fierce roar and shook itself, preparing to transform into a giant beast. Turning toward the pavilion, it growled, "Roar… where’s the fight this ti…"
The words died in its throat. Its expanding body froze mid-transformation, deflating like a punctured balloon.
Before anyone could blink, it scrambled back into the guardian beasts bag at triple speed, yanking the drawstring shut from inside.
"Can’t win! Pretend I’m dead already!"
You You: "……"
Lin Feng: "……"
The man: "……"
Damn shameful beast! Couldn’t it at least pretend to try?
"Heh… your guardian beast is… unique." The man chuckled, undisturbed by the display. His moonlit beauty held a calming quality, making tensions dissolve with mere eye contact. "No need for alarm. This is my Sea of Consciousness space – if anyone should worry, it’s me."
"Sea of Consciousness space?" You You glanced at Lin Feng.
"It’s a cultivator’s mental realm," Lin Feng whispered, awestruck. "The most fragile part of one’s being. Damage here means true death – soul essence included. Some legends say masters can refine it into spaces…" He eyed their surroundings. "Everything here reflects the master’s inner self. Any harm to this space destroys him."
Meaning their host couldn’t attack them here without self-destructing?
"Precisely." The man poured tea calmly. "You could harm me easier than I could you. Now… will you sit and talk?"
Exchanging glances, they approached the pavilion. His gentle aura made hostility feel impossible.
"Who are you?" You You accepted his teacup. "Why trap us here?"
"I am Yuan Qi." His earnest eyes sparkled. "I’ve waited millennia in this Secret Realm for you – the only one who could enter my Sea of Consciousness."
"Me? Because of the formation?"
"My race stays hidden unless we choose otherwise." He smiled. "Only exceptional beings can perceive us. In this realm… only celestial maidens possess such sight."
"This realm?" You You blinked as Lin Feng gasped.
"Yuan… that’s an Ancient Times surname! Your main body… could you be… a Qilin?!"
Yuan Qi nodded. "Indeed. I belong to the Divine Clan – a Qilin, not Human Race."
"You’re a beast?!" You You exclaimed.
"Noble Lady!" Lin Feng tugged her sleeve. "Qilins are Divine Clan beings surpassing even Immortals!"
"Divine?!"
(⊙_⊙)
Do gods in this world just pop up randomly? And politely offer tea?
"Legends say the Divine Clan disappeared from the Three Realms ages ago. Even the Immortal Realm might not exist now," Lin Feng glanced at Yuan Qi. "How could you… be here?"
"The Qilin clan always had few descendants. Now… I’m truly the last one left." Yuan Qi’s face clouded with sadness. "Millennia ago, I got injured and stumbled into the lower realm. I carved out the Moon Sea Secret Realm near Moon Sea, left a fragment of divine sense, then fell into deep sleep. I’d hoped my original body would be awakened by kin after healing. But I waited tens of thousands of years through a great calamity. When I finally recovered, no clan members remained in the Mortal Realm."
"You mean… you created Moon Sea Secret Realm!" You You gasped, realizing he was the supermarket owner! Did she need to pay for those Spiritual Plants?
Yuan Qi nodded. "My sleeping main body couldn’t leave. With my divine sense trapped here, I remained unconscious. Then I sensed your power – similar to my clan’s energy. Desperate, I opened the Entrance periodically, hoping some celestial maiden could rouse me."
"So you picked me?" You You frowned.
"Yes." His eyes sparkled, smile warming like spring sunshine. "For ten thousand years, no celestial maiden entered this Sea of Consciousness space. Only you found it."
"So…"
"So…" His gentle smile deepened, voice solemn as an oath. "Will you Establish a Contract with me? Help me awaken. I, Yuan Qi, vow to serve you as master, protecting you through life and death!"
You You blinked at his intensity.
Then… flatly refused!
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"Nope, thanks! Bye!" She grabbed Lin Feng’s sleeve and marched off!
Crazy! First meeting and he wants to Establish a Contract? Sure he seemed nice, but gods could flip moods faster than pancakes. Too risky for sect development!
No way! Not even for a god!
Yuan Qi stood frozen, watching You You drag a baffled Lin Feng from the Pavilion.
"…" This was a Divine Clan member! The last Qilin! Gods offering Followers was unheard-of! Even Immortals would kill for this chance! Were they really walking away?
"Noble Lady! His story might be true!" Lin Feng blurted. "Qilins bring fortune. Their presence causes rare treasures to grow! That’s why this Secret Realm’s packed with…"
You You suddenly froze like a statue.
What did you say?!
Lin Feng nearly crashed into her. "Noble L-"
Whoosh!
Before he finished, You You whirled around and zoomed back, grabbing Yuan Qi’s hands urgently. "Daddy! Want some oranges?" If Qilins attract wealth, why didn’t he lead with that?!
Yuan Qi: "…"
Lin Feng: "…"
