Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 69: Invitation

Chapter 69: Invitation

Ye Ling’s anger when she woke up was actually proof that she still retained some of her beastkin’s ferocious nature. She once wanted to bite even Li Qingjun, let alone the kobolds in front.

The black flame, which was several times more turbulent than before, burst out with majestic force. The nearest kobold was ignited instantly, wailing and rolling on the ground.

The flames on its body rolled on the grass, causing the grass to burn quickly. However, it did not spread everywhere very accurately. Instead, it converged into a fire snake and burned towards the leopard-headed beastkin.

The leopard-headed beastkin used a spell in a panic, casting an ice wall to block the flame snake. The “flame snake” roared ferociously and broke through the ice wall.

The leopard-headed beastkin hurriedly took out a bronze mirror. It emitted a soft light on the flame snake. The raging black flame finally showed signs of being suppressed.

“Swoosh“, the Flying Serpent spread its wings and flew past, and a kobold was spurting blood mist from its neck and fell. Almost no one saw what happened clearly.

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment. He even forgot to attack with the mace.

This coward snake is so strong… Such a strong Ye Ling can even fight with the Blood Scaled Dragon now.

No, no, it’s better to be cowardly. Such a Ye Ling scares me a little.

The next moment, Ye Ling flew back and stopped on Qin Yi’s shoulder, saying timidly, “Who are they? Did I offend a very powerful monster…”

Qin Yi glanced sideways at his shoulder. This coiled snake looked like mosquito-repellent incense at best or like a poop at worst… The pair of wings that become smaller and smaller flap behind her. That is really cute.

Listening to her timid words, Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “No, you did a good job.”

The thought of training Ye Ling to be courageous had been cast into the sky. If she really turned into a beastkin that killed decisively, would she still be Ye Ling?

The leopard-headed beastkin was using the bronze mirror to contain the flame, but the flames that spread through the grasses were still burning his feet. The leopard-headed beastkin couldn’t be distracted while using the artifact. He stomped his feet anxiously, “What are you idiots doing there in a daze? Lift me up! Don’t you see the fire is about to burn my crotch!”

Then 2 kobolds hugged its legs on the left and right, and the flame passed from below.

“…” Qin Yi rushed over and smacked the kobold.

The dog’s head was smashed to pieces. The body fell to the ground and was quickly devoured by the flames. The scent of dog meat wafted everywhere.

The flame happened to be extinguished.

The other kobold was so frightened that it and ran away while holding its “master’s” leg. Qin Yi pursued. Since the fight was started, all of them must die. If they returned and called for backup, it would be troublesome.

Ye Ling sensed Qin Yi’s thoughts and stood up on Qin Yi’s shoulders. In a black flash, she blocked before the leopard-headed beastkin.

The leopard-headed beastkin was scared to death. It was not afraid of Qin Yi, but ut was really afraid of Ye Ling.

Beastkin was still based on animal nature. They believed in the law of jungle. This little snake was at least a terrifying beastkin in the Morph Stage later stage! Whether it was blood or beastkin power, the leopard-headed beastkin was suppressed in all aspects!

“Don’t… get away!” The leopard-headed beastkin looked around and saw Cheng Cheng who was hiding by the tree.

It immediately had an idea. With a flick of its hand, a beastkin light shot straight toward Cheng Cheng.

Ye Ling had no idea who she was. Qin Yi exclaimed and rushed toward her subconsciously.

How can I the lady die at the door of her home?

“Puff“, blood spattered, and a fang pierced Qin Yi’s shoulder. Qin Yi groaned in pain and fell beside Cheng Cheng.

“Brother!” Ye Ling gave up chasing the leopard-headed beastkin and returned swiftly. The leopard-headed beastkin took the opportunity to escape.

This was the result it wanted.

Cheng Cheng stared blankly at Qin Yi at her feet. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn’t.

Ye Ling returned to Qin Yi’s side in a flash. Realizing that his vital point wasn’t hit, she breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly transformed back into her human form, pulled out the fang, stopped the bleeding, and lifted Qin Yi up. She asked, “Which medicine to use?” “

Qin Yi was about to answer when Liu Su hurriedly said, “Run!”

Soon, there was a sound of high speed flying in the distance. The majestic beastkin aura could be felt from afar. Just as Ye Ling was about to pick up Qin Yi and run away, she saw a huge goshawk in the sky, blocking out the clouds and the sun.

So fast……

Ye Ling knew it was hard to run away, so she slowly put Qin Yi down again. Cheng Cheng stretched out her hands to support Qin Yi, letting Qin Yi lean against her, and then she tore off a piece of lining from her skirt to bandage Qin Yi’s wound.

Qin Yi was stunned. Cheng Cheng was bandaging his wound with her head down, so her expression couldn’t be seen.

“Thank you.” Qin Yi didn’t have the mood to say much. He just looked up at the sky with the mace in his hand.

This is really troublesome. This goshawk give me an oppression and threat that I never feel before. We are definitely not its opponent. Can we still run away with Ye Ling’s speed…

Surprisingly, the goshawk didn’t move at all, just hovering in the sky quietly and watching them.

Ye Ling guarded Qin Yi behind her while looking up at the goshawk with ferocious eyes.

“Flying Serpent…” The goshawk finally spoke. His tone was unexpectedly kind, “I have never seen you in the Beastkin City before, where did you come from?”

Ye Ling was stunned for a moment, and her ferocious aura suddenly reduced by 80%. She said weakly, “Outside.”

“From the outside…” Goshawk pondered for a moment and then said, “Would you like to join our White Kingdom? Your cultivation and bloodline make you qualified to be a beastkin general.”

Ye Ling didn’t know what White Kingdom was and beastkin general was, so she shook her head and said, “I want to follow brother.”

“This human?” Goshawk hesitated for a moment, then said, “He can enter the city with you. As a beastkin, you are qualified to possess humans.”

For some reason, Ye Ling felt very moved after hearing the second half of the sentence. She almost wanted to agree, but when the words came to her lips, she said weakly, “I listen to brother.”

Goshawk said, “Human, what do you think?”

After hearing these few words, Qin Yi’s feeling of danger calmed down a bit, because this development was very logical. If each major Beastkin King in Beastkin City had their own territory, then Ye Ling, a Morph Stage beastkin with good bloodline and strength, would obviously be the object of competition for all parties.

Thinking of this, his tone became much more polite, “Thank you Beastkin King for favoring my sister, but we have other matters…”

“I’m not the Beastkin King.” Goshawk seemed startled, “Don’t use that title randomly.”

“Oh…oh.” This goshawk, whose strength is unfathomable, is actually not the Beastkin King? The strength of the beastkins here is stronger than imagined.

“I don’t know what matters you guys have.” Goshawk said, “But I can see that this Flying Serpent has no systematic cultivating method, let alone properly explored and cultivated her talents. Following you will just ruin her future.”

Qin Yi fell silent. I cannot refute this. In fact, one of the temptations I used to trick Ye Ling into coming to Transverse Rift Valley with me is that she could find bloodline or cultivating methods here. If she really joins this kingdom, it goes without saying that she will receive reliable training, which will be very beneficial to her.

Can Ye Ling really adapt to this cruel beastkin environment?

Will Beastkin King be so kind to train her for free? What if he sends her for some dangerous missions?

He asked Ye Ling, “What do you think?”

Ye Ling stared at the sky blankly. Her eyes had lost focus. After a long time, she said, “I want to follow brother, but I also want to learn cultivating methods…”

Qin Yi himself was in a dilemma too. He felt that he shouldn’t ruin Ye Ling’s future, but he also worried that she would not be able to adapt to the cruel beastkin environment and die horribly.

After struggling for a long time, he cupped his hands to the sky and said, “Can you give us time to consider it?”

Logically, such “ignorant” request would not be accepted and might even anger the goshawk, but the goshawk was surprisingly easy to talk to, “Okay.”

As it spoke, a feather fell and said, “Whether you human or the beastkin, this is a rare immortality chance. I believe this Flying Serpent won’t be willing to miss such a good opportunity. If you think it through, enter the city with this feather, someone will naturally lead you to me.”

Qin Yi caught the feather and sighed. It was unexpected that a beastkin could communicate so well. He pointed at Cheng Cheng and asked, “This Miss Cheng is from your kingdom. Can you…”

Goshawk said calmly, “She is our people. Of course, we will protect them. You don’t need to worry about her.”

Our people… Qin Yi instantly thought of Li Qingjun.

Cheng Cheng nodded at Qin Yi to show that the goshawk was trustable. Qin Yi was distracted at the moment, so he absentmindedly said goodbye to Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng stared at him for a long time, focusing on his chest as if she wanted to see the blood on his back through his chest. After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly bent down and carved four words on the ground, “Thank you, take care.”

After carving the words, she finally stood up, bowed, and left.

Watching Cheng Cheng leave, Qin Yi didn’t feel much joy in completing a heroic act. His mind had already drifted to the precarious South Li Kingdom.

There is no day and night in Rift Valley. I have lost track of how long has it been. I wonder how is Qingjun doing now…
