Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Mi Jia found it somewhat unimaginable as he had completely surpa.s.sed her range of understanding. It reversed all common sense she had throughout her martial arts training. It even caused her long-term confidence system to collapse completely.
Indeed, she was extremely confident in her fire attribute talents. Even for disciples of the Forefather Dragon Clan, in terms of their skills with the fire attribute, Mi Jia thought herself to be just as powerful.
However, the words of this Fire Kylin made her completely stupefied. She looked at Qin Wushuang with somewhat lifeless eyes.
Qin Wushuang said with an apologetic smile, “It seems somewhat meaningless to argue on this, right?”
It’s meaningless to debate this? Mi Jia had an idea as she thought quickly, “This means, this guy is telling the truth?”
“It’s true.” Although Qin Wushuang did not want to thwart Mi Jia’s confidence, he was unwilling to lie. In his heart, Mi Jia had not reached the point where he must lie to protect her pride. Therefore, he would not mind to admit this point.
Instantly, Mi Jia’s complexion became pale. After being stunned for a while, she let out a long sigh. Rolling a grudge-filled gaze at Qin Wushuang, she squeezed out two words, “Monstrous person!”
Qin Wushuang shrugged his shoulders and asked, “Are you going to try refining it for a while here or should we leave?”
Mi Jia did not say because she was not thinking about this part. Instead, she just chuckled to herself. “Qin Wushuang, you kid, are really shady. Only an idiot, like myself, would think that you had really come here to help me with obtaining the Scarlet Fire. Unexpectedly, you are apparently in more need of it than I am.”
From the beginning, Mi Jia did not disguise the fact that she needed the Scarlet Fire. However, Qin Wushuang did not say anything about wanting the Scarlet Fire for himself.
“Since it’s already done, please don’t pretend to be so melancholy and gloomy. I’m not asking you.” Qin Wushuang was used to Mi Jia being direct and straightforward, but he was not used to her aggrieved tone.
Mi Jia gave a snort and waved her hand. “Anyways, I will not argue myself onto your level. Are you going to keep refining it here?”
“I am going to the Hibiscus Wood Forest, the old den of the Golden Crow. You can either train here or go back. How about we just go on our own ways now?”
Suddenly, Mi Jia sized up Qin Wushuang with keen eyes while she asked in an unpleasant tone, “Young Qin, are you treating me as a burden?”
“Why do you say that?” Qin Wushuang found it to be inexplicable.
“If you are not treating me as a burden, then why do you keep chasing me away? We made a deal, that we will go through the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley together. You accompanied me to get the Scarlet Fire, of course I will come with you to the Hibiscus Forest. Even if you don’t value loyalty, I value my public reputation.”
It was rumored that the Hibiscus Forest was the old den of the Golden Crow and also the most mysterious territory in the entire Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley. Initially, Qin Wushuang intended to go alone; however, upon seeing Mi Jia as a volunteer, he became rather hesitant.
He did not feel this Mi Jia was a puppet, but he felt it would be unnecessary for her to come.
At this moment, the Fire Kylin interrupted them with neither a cold nor fervent tone, “When going to the Hibiscus Forest, the less people there are the better. Now, the spiritual beasts of the entire Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley are in fear and trepidation. Although they did not see the Golden Crow, they are almost certain that it’s possible that the Golden Crow has been revived. It’s because the area of the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley Hibiscus Forest is incredibly abnormal.”
Qin Wushuang listened to this information silently. Suddenly, he asked with a smile, “Fire Kylin, for the spiritual beasts at each of the territory, what is the att.i.tude everyone has towards the revival of the Golden Crow?”
Fire Kylin was rather honest as it said, “Some are scared and some look forward to it. In general, it’s a complicated matter.”
“What about you?”
It said with a strange smile, “Me, I hope the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley has an appearance of a powerful divine beast, a beast that can make the Forefather Dragon Clan have fear. This way, our Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley will be free of the Forefather Dragon Clan’s hara.s.sment.”
Mi Jia said with a cold sneer, “I didn’t realize you were so rebellious.”
Fire Kylin smacked its lips. “It’s not us being rebellious, but the Forefather Dragon Clan should not be meddling with our Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley, alright? The Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley has been the forbidden zone of the immemorial ancient G.o.ds. Any of the totem clans are forbidden from meddling here. Now without the Golden Crow, the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley is in a declining state year after year. The entire Eastern Polar Region almost became one of the Endless Eastern Sea’s territories. We only lacked a dragon clan to rule it.”
Mi Jia did not care about such matters as she interrupted, “I am not concerned about the future of the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley… Anyways, the Horned Dragon Clan has our own territory. We are not interested in the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley.”
While they were engaged in conversation, suddenly movements came from Qin Wushuang’s communication jade plate. It was Bao Bao. After parting for more than half a year, Bao Bao was still excited as usual.
“Boss, let me tell you good news! I made a breakthrough! In the future, please call me Divine Beast Bao Bao, ha ha! By the way, Boss, where are you now?”
“I am already at the Eastern Polar Region.”
“Ah? Eastern Polar Region? Boss, we are at the First-Rate Dragon Palace.”
“People of the First-Rate Dragon Palace should be coming to the Eastern Polar Region soon. You can find Senior Brother Shang Ye and come with the main dragon force.”
“Ha ha, alright, Boss. Indeed Senior Lone is a mutated spiritual beast, he also started to understand things properly and it won’t be long until he breaks into the Supreme Dao Stage. Perhaps when we make it to the Eastern Polar Region, we will all be at the Supreme Dao Stage! By the way, Boss, how are you?”
Qin Wushuang laughed. “It’s already been a while since I broke into the Supreme Dao Stage.”
“Ah? This fast?” Bao Bao was stunned, then he roared with laughter. “I planned to show off before Boss, so I didn’t expect that you’d have evolved even faster. Alright, Boss, I need to make some preparations. Ha ha, there are nine calamities in each stage of the Supreme Dao. I must see how to deal with them respectively at all their difficulties.”
“You want to run after just learning to walk? You are still far off from the Three Great Calamities. Be patient and build your foundation. The Supreme Dao Stages are incomparable to the Spiritual Martial Force and Void Martial Force.”
“Alright, Boss, let’s meet at the Eastern Polar Region!”
Qin Wushuang laughed and put away the communication jade plate. Mi Jia raised her brow. “Is it that stinky monkey?”
“Ha ha, next time you should call him a stinky monkey again.”
Mi Jia said, “Should I be scared of him?”
“Miss Mi Jia, there is an old saying of how after a period of absence, a man may have changed for the better. Don’t look at him with old insight, it’s another story whether you will be scared of him now or not.”
“Humph, you also know that after a period of absence, a man may have changed for the better. What kind of man is he? I am not afraid of him.”
“Humph, then let me tell you with responsibility. Bao Bao has the bloodline of the ancient spiritual monkey. Now that he has already entered the Supreme Dao Stage, once the Supreme Dao bloodline is awakened, you know best the terrifying aspects of such an immemorial bloodline. Even if you are Miss Mi Jia, you cannot match up with the bloodline of immemorial divine beings.”
“Ancient spiritual monkey?” Admiring lights flashed in Fire Kylin’s eyes.
“Yes.” He nodded with a smile as Qin Wushuang continued, “It’s almost time, let’s go up. I have to go to the Hibiscus Forest.”
“Hibiscus Forest? Master, you are really going there?” Fire Kylin asked with a somewhat fearful tone.
“Yes, I must pick some Ancient Hibiscus Wood,” Qin Wushuang answered.
“That Ancient Hibiscus Wood is the dwelling of the Golden Crow, it will not burn in fire and will not rot in water. It can only be taken by a sharp object of metallic element and contained in an earth elemental object,” Fire Kylin said with a low voice.
“Yes, that’s right. Fire Kylin, you will still guard here, no need to come with me to take the risk.” Of course, Qin Wushuang could see that this Fire Kylin still harbored deep fear of the Hibiscus Forest. Most likely, this was a natural fear to the inheritance of the Golden Crow.
“Humph, you will be disloyal to your master if you don’t go.” Mi Jia said with groundless gossip.
Qin Wushuang glared at Mi Jia. “Miss Mi Jia, you don’t always have to speak. Besides, I didn’t say to come with you. If you are smart enough, you should train the Scarlet Fire soul, there may be a point in time where it will save you.”
Indeed, Mi Jia liked the training environment in this underground cave very much.
However, Fire Krylin said, “This cave is my territory, since Master is not here, I do not welcome a gloomy woman to be here.”
Mi Jia said proudly, “I am not willing to stay here anyway.”
“I say, are you two both born in the year of the rooster? So intent on war?” Qin Wushuang rolled his eyes. “Miss Mi Jia, either you stay here or go back first. For that trip to the Hibiscus Forest, it’s fine for me to go alone!”
Fire Kylin advised, “Master, the Hibiscus Forest is showing abnormal movements. It’s really dangerous to go alone. I think that everyone should go together when the main force of the dragon clans come.”
“When the main force of the dragon clans come, there will not be anything for them.” Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh. “I must seize the chance before the main force of the dragon clans comes.”
Qin Wushuang had incredible self-knowledge. During his trip to the Endless Eastern Sea, most likely many of the dragon clans set their eyes on him. The Forefather Dragon Clan showed an ambiguous att.i.tude and Qin Wushuang would not wish to do his business with restraints if everyone arrived.
He would first get the Hibiscus Wood and then make plans if he saw the Forefather Dragon Clan. If the Forefather Dragon Clan was not the slightest bit interested in the Qin Clan’s experiences, naturally Qin Wushuang would not court a rebuff.
If the promise between the totem clans was just a piece of empty paper, naturally Qin Wushuang would not carry too much hope in the totem clans.
Upon having entered the Endless Eastern Sea, it made Qin Wushuang realize that prosperity only lay in power. If one had to entrust their fate in someone else’s willingness, it would not be hopeful.
For example, regarding the destiny of the Qin Clan, if the Qin Clan could grasp it themselves, they could easily shatter the evil conspiracy of the Heavenly Emperor Gate. Why would they need to come to the Endless Eastern Sea in spite of the tens and thousands of miles, taking such a roundabout route?
Everything was imaginary. Only strength, one’s own formidable power would be the most real chance.
After getting scolded by Qin Wushuang, Mi Jia knew this better. Qin Wushuang put on such a face not because he was not opposed to reason, but because he did not want her to get involved.
Speaking of which, although this man spoke with a repulsive tone, his starting point was not too bad. Therefore, although she was depressed, she did not retort.
“Fire Kylin, if something delays me during my trip to the Hibiscus Forest or if something unexpected happens, you shall receive my two friends when they come here. Don’t let them get bullied. At the Rus.h.i.+ng Current Valley, I trust you have such capabilities?”
Fire Kylin’s mood surged as it said while making a solemn vow, “Master, if I cannot even do such little thing, I have lived thousands of years in vain. Not to talk about others, on this island, even if the Forefather Dragon Clan provoked me, I would not let them go easily!”
