Chapter 131 Hundred Fragrance Restaurant (1)
?As Wang Wenshu and Ye Suyin landed on the ground, their eyes scanned the area for the mythical creature they had heard so much about. But their search was cut short when they laid eyes on a petite figure standing before them.
The girl was unlike any creature they had ever seen before. Her delicate features were almost too perfect, like that of a porcelain doll come to life. It was hard to believe that this was the same being that they had traveled so far to see.
As they approached her, their curiosity getting the better of them, Bai Xue's eyes began to glow with an ominous lightning. "Don't even think about it," she warned them, her voice soft but firm.
Wang Wenshu and Ye Suyin froze in their tracks, realizing that their intentions had been revealed. It was clear that this creature was not to be trifled with.
They could only wonder at the power that lay beneath her innocent exterior.
As for what their intentions were, simply hug the doll in front of them.
Bai Xue's eyes glittered mischievously as she continued to radiate lightning around her. She knew that her appearance could be deceiving, and she wasn't going to let these mortals underestimate her power.
"I may look cute, but I am a Lightning Qilin," she said, her voice filled with pride. "Don't forget, it takes ten thousand years for one of my kind to mature."
Wang Wenshu and Ye Suyin exchanged nervous glances, realizing that they had underestimated the young Lightning Qilin before them. They quickly backed away, not wanting to anger her or offend her mother.
Bai Xue smirked, pleased with herself. She knew how to use her appearance to her advantage and make others think twice before underestimating her.
Right then, Xia Tian arrived out of the black vortex. He observed the area for a while, then spoke, "Why did you land here?"
The place where Bai Xue had landed was a bit far away from the city. He couldn't help but think that this legal loli had something wrong with her ears.
Both Wang Wenshu and Ye Suyin were stunned to see his manner of speech against the qilin girl. The former, however, was worried about the qilin and not Xia Tian.
Bai Xue scanned Xia Tian's body from top to bottom. Without any reaction, she spoke, "You are the crazy uncle that mother was scared of?" Afterwards, she couldn't help but add, "At least you look handsome."
Bai Xue only regarded Irene as her master, and she had never seen Xia Tian. But she knew it was him right when she was pulled out of the spirit world.
Xia Tian directly told her to pick up both of the women above and come to the city. Exposing qilin existence would cause trouble, but he, of course, wanted a grand entry.
However, this little nizi had destroyed his plans to show off by landing so far away from the city.
Xia Tian's face lit up with a smile. Instead of getting angry, he approached the girl who only came up to his chest in height. Bai Xue's eyes flickered, but she maintained a brave front, although she stopped the lightning around her to avoid hurting him.
It could be said that the girl was clever. Despite not agreeing with Xia Tian being her master, she knew she couldn't hurt him, or Irene would get angry.
Suddenly, Xia Tian caught her chin to make her look at him, his eyes staring into hers. "You are the daughter of Bai Lifen?" he asked.
"She is my mother," Bai Xue said emotionlessly.
Feeling Xia Tian's presence up close, Bai Xue became a bit nervous. But she knew she had to maintain her composure to win this battle and didn't let it show on her face.
Xia Tian's eyes roamed over Bai Xue's delicate features once more, taking in the porcelain skin, full lips, and wide doe-like eyes. "You are quite cute," he commented, his lips curling into a mischievous smile.
Bai Xue was taken aback by his sudden compliment, and before she could even react, Xia Tian had grabbed her chin and forced her mouth open, his fingers digging into the soft flesh of her tongue.
A muffled cry escaped her lips, and she could feel the warmth of his breath against her face.
"Your tongue is quite sharp," he said, his voice low and dangerous, "but make sure you know whom it is working against, or next time I will cut it off."
With a sudden flick of his wrist, he released her, and Bai Xue stumbled back two steps, her heart racing in her chest.
Bai Xue stood there, her hand touching her tongue, still shocked from what had just happened.
She had never met someone so bold and daring like Xia Tian.
Bai Xue's beautiful eyes widened with disbelief as she stared at Xia Tian. Suddenly, a cold breeze brushed against her tongue, and she was surprised by the sensation.
She quickly composed herself and nodded, "Got it, master!"
Wang Wenshu smiled bitterly, shaking her head with pity, while Ye Suyin was shocked by the sudden turn of events.
Bai Xue laughed inwardly, amused by her own defeat, and couldn't help but ask, "It's allowed against others, right?"
She looked at Xia Tian with hopeful eyes, her expression eager for approval.
Xia Tian found her persistence amusing.
In other words, she was asking if she could use her sharp tongue against others or not. He glanced at her underdeveloped breasts, which were quite small.
Bai Xue shivered under his gaze, wondering if her mother had offered her up as prey for him to devour.
Without hesitation, Xia Tian nodded, "Sure, go ahead." He didn't mind if she roasted others with her sharp tongue.
Bai Xue's eyes lit up with excitement, and she couldn't help but think of jumping up and down in joy.
Her victory was short-lived, but at least she could still use her sharp tongue against others.
Wang Wenshu shook her head with a mix of amusement and pity, knowing that Xia Tian had just tamed a lightning qilin within few seconds.
"Do you know her?" Ye Suyin finally spoke, unable to keep herself quiet.
Xia Tian looked at her and smiled, "She is a pet of Irene," he confirmed.
Listening to this, Ye Suyin sucked in a cold breath. Who keeps a Qilin as a pet? Her mind raced with thoughts of the kind of person who would dare to keep a mythical creature as a pet.
If that wasn't enough, Xia Tian spoke as if Irene was one of his women. The sudden revelation caused her eyes to widen with shock.
"Do all ancient family heirs possess this kind of strength?" she asked, with a hint of admiration in her voice.
The more she thought about it, the more astonished she became...
"No! He is a unique piece," Wang Wenshu quickly clarified, sensing Ye Suyin's admiration for Xia Tian.
She didn't want her to develop false expectations about the rest of the ancient family heirs.
"No ancient family would dare to keep a mythical beast as a pet," she added for emphasis.
Ye Suyin's eyes narrowed into slits as she gazed at Xia Tian's figure, her voice laced with bitterness. "Aren't you too powerful?" she questioned, feeling a mix of fear and awe at his strength.
With Xia Tian by her side, she no longer needed to fear the Long family, but the realization that more women would flock to him due to his immense power made her feel bitter.
She knew there was nothing she could do to keep him all to herself.
Xia Tian, however, corrected her, "Not powerful, the most powerful in the world." He then took off with Bai Xue, who did not resist when he held her small, soft hands.
She had accepted her new identity with quick surrender, a sign of her wisdom.
As Ye Suyin rolled her eyes at Xia Tian's apparent narcissism, Wang Wenshu couldn't help but feel that he was too arrogant for claiming to be the strongest.
Though he may have been strong, there were always higher mountains to climb.
Little did Ye Suyin know, Xia Tian looked at those mountains from the wild open sky, where no one could reach him.
While walking to the portal, Bai Xue asked a rather blizzard question , "Master, would you eat me like you did with my mother?"
Xia Tian peeked at her face and couldn't help but question, "What do you mean by eat?"
Bai Xue snorted, "I am not a kid. You slept with my mother, don't pretend."
"Aren't you quite shameless?" Xia Tian couldn't help but say.
Bai Xue replied, "Not as much as you, who eyes small children."
Xia Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Did this girl think of herself as a child?
"How old are you?" he asked.
Bai Xue already knew his intentions. If she told him her age, she couldn't shame him for eyeing her. "Master, you should never ask a woman her age."
Xia Tian was prepared for the counterattack even before she was born. He said, "I wouldn't normally, but if the woman is as old as to be called an old hag and pretends to be a child, sometimes I have to confirm."
Bai Xue's eyebrows twitched with irritation. 'O-Old hag!?'
Did he really just call her an old hag?
She is only four thousand years old!
Once again, she realized that engaging in a battle of wits with him was like fighting a sword with a twig.
His tongue was as sharp as a knife, and she knew she needed to be careful around him - unless she wanted to be the punchline of a joke.
