"Who said I didn't carry it with me? I have been carrying it with me all the time." Xia Youchen said as he made a few hand gestures, and the long-lost figure of the Qiongqi beast appeared in front of him.
However, at this time, the Qiongqi divine beast was looking at Xia Youchen with tears in his eyes, and his body was shaking constantly, looking so aggrieved that it was shocking.
Is this really the Qiongqi beast I saw last time? Is it really one of the four legendary beasts? Mu Hanyan was deeply skeptical.
"How would I know what's wrong with it? Ever since I brought it out of the Exotic Beast Valley, it hasn't had a good day. You don't know how difficult it is to please and how picky it is about food. It won't eat anything except elixirs, exotic flowers and herbs. And it has an incredible appetite. It can eat hundreds of pills and thousands of herbs in one meal.
I've been hiding in the Valley of Exotic Beasts for years, so I don't have much money to spare. In just over a month, it's eaten up all the little I saved, leaving me starving. You say you want me to starve, so what? Unfortunately, I've already signed a life contract with it. If it gets too hungry, it'll drain my energy.
I had hoped to quickly recover my Sword Saint status, but now, my strength is declining day by day, and it's even worse than when I was in the Exotic Beast Valley." Xia Youchen burst into tears as he talked about this, his face full of bitterness and helplessness.
"Uh..." Mu Hanyan looked at Xia Youchen sympathetically.
In fact, the same is true for her little auspicious beast. If it wants to grow up quickly, ordinary food will not do. It must have elixirs or exotic flowers and plants. Fortunately, she and the little auspicious beast did not sign a life contract. Even though the little guy is often so hungry that he is drowsy and sleeps soundly, it has no effect on her.
But Xia Youchen obviously didn't have such good luck as her.
"Ao...Ao..." Qiongqi howled twice and suddenly rushed towards Xia Youchen.
Judging from her appearance, she seemed to want to rush into his arms for comfort and caress, but she was a little too big and accidentally knocked Xia Youchen to the ground.
"Look, look, it's probably hungry again. If it continues like this, not to mention my cultivation, even my life will be eaten by it." Xia Youchen climbed up with a dusty face and said with tears in his eyes.
"Awoo, awoo, awoo..." Qiongqi squatted pitifully beside Xia Youchen, whimpering and looking very aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, I'll find you something to eat. I'll find a way to find you something to eat right away." Xia Youchen patted Qiongqi's head and said with a bitter face.
"Wait, I seem to know what it's saying." Mu Hanyan's heart moved.
Humans have their own language and animals have their own language. At least legendary beasts like Qiongqi have their own language, but ordinary people can't understand it.
Logically speaking, Mu Hanyan shouldn't have this ability, but what even made her feel incredible was that she really understood it.
Could this be the memory of the divine beast obtained from the Nine-Transformation Soul Pill? In truth, those memories were hazy, even more illusory and hazy than the images seen from the mysterious star disk. Even Mu Hanyan herself didn't know what they contained. They were simply a lingering memory deep in her heart.
Mu Hanyan even mistakenly believed that, at least for a long time, the memories left by the divine beast would be of no use to her.
It was not until this moment that it realized that those memories were actually useful, but it was not used normally and it did not know how to use them. When the time was right, they might naturally come into play, like now.
"What is it saying?" Xia Youchen also thought of this, and asked with a perked-up look.
Although he had long guessed that Mu Hanyan understood the language of psychic beasts and was even better than himself, but as far as he knew, there was a difference between the language of psychic beasts and real beast language, and it was even more different from the language of divine beasts. It was usually only used to perform beast taming techniques, but it was impossible to truly understand the language of beasts. Mu Hanyan was able to understand the language of Qiongqi, which must be because of the memory inheritance of the divine beast.
"It said it's not a picky eater, it's just a vegetarian." Mu Hanyan said with a strange expression.
After hearing her words, the others also had the same strange expression.
Vegetarian! You're one of the four legendary beasts, and you're actually a vegetarian? If this gets out, will anyone believe it?
Even Mu Hanyan herself thought she had misheard, but as soon as she said this, the little Qiongqi in front of her started to scream excitedly and nodded desperately, obviously confirming what Mu Hanyan said.
"A vegetarian? How could he be a vegetarian? Why didn't I think of that?" Xia Youchen slapped his head suddenly and said frustratedly.
Zirong and the others looked at Xia You's depressed look, feeling a little amused and helpless. Although they had never seen Xia Youchen before, they had heard a little about what happened in the Valley of Strange Beasts. Combined with what Mu Hanyan and Xia Youchen said, they had guessed the reason for the incident.
Thousands of years ago, Xia Youchen was besieged by the Anyun royal family and various major families. This time, after leaving the Valley of Exotic Beasts, he would not dare to show up easily until his strength has recovered. Most of the time, he should be hiding in the mountains. The food he found for Qiongqi must be mostly birds and beasts.
There is nothing wrong with this, of course. Almost all powerful beasts in the Holy Court Continent feed on meat, not to mention one of the four legendary ferocious beasts.
Who would have thought that it is a vegetarian? One of the four ferocious beasts is actually a vegetarian.
One can imagine how many horses must be galloping through Xia Youchen's mind at this moment.
"Then ask it again. I was almost dying just now, and I called it repeatedly, but why didn't it come out to help?" Xia Youchen resisted the urge to bang his head against the wall and continued.
It turned out that he was not unwilling to summon Qiongqi, but that the guy simply did not listen to his orders.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiongqi stood up suddenly and howled a few more times.
"It said that it was the legendary Aolai divine beast, the emperor of beasts in the ancient times. How could it dare to offend it? As soon as it felt its breath, its legs went weak." Mu Hanyan translated.
Aolai, the divine beast, the king of beasts in the prehistoric times! After hearing Mu Hanyan's words, everyone gasped.
Qiongqi is one of the four ferocious beasts and is not considered weak even among the divine beasts, but he does not even have the courage to offend. This shows how powerful the divine beast Aolai must have been when he was in his prime.
Fortunately, Zhao Lingxian didn't succeed, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"The divine beast Aolai, why have I never heard of it?" After finishing translating for Xiaoqiongqi, Mu Hanyan looked at it puzzledly again.
The others also looked curious. Like Mu Hanyan, they had never heard of the name of the divine beast Aolai.
Little Qiongqi didn't have the bad habit of being mysterious, and he started howling again immediately, still with a smug look on his face.
After hearing its answer, Mu Hanyan looked even more surprised.
