Chapter 248
Chapter 248
"When I first met you, you were this small too, running up to me and staring straight at me. I picked you up just like I am doing now, but who knew that after I picked you up, you would become so attached to me that I couldn't get rid of you no matter how hard I tried."
Nangong Jing stroked the little Qilin in his arms and joked to Xuan Yang beside him.
Qilin has memories since birth, so Xuan Yang naturally still remembers what happened. He touched his nose awkwardly and turned away from the teasing looks of Lei Lin and the others.
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Xuan Yang sharply, feeling a little sad.
There was no way. Although Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing were born at about the same time, they were together when the God Realm was slowly developing. At first, they were just good friends.
Therefore, the two were not together all the time at the beginning, but Xuan Yang unexpectedly followed Nangong Jing not long after he was born.
It can be said that Nangong Jing spent more time with Xuan Yang than with Xuanyuan Xingyao. How could Xuanyuan Xingyao not feel jealous when he thought about it.
Xuan Yang was embarrassed at first, but after feeling Xuanyuan Xingyao's gaze, he was left with no tears left.
Because he was too familiar with Xuanyuan Xingyao's eyes. After Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing were together, he would often feel jealous that he had been with Nangong Jing for a long time, and then he would find excuses to fight with him, which actually meant beating him up.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Xingyao also knew his limits. Every time he beat Xuan Yang, Xuan Yang's fighting power would become stronger, so Xuan Yang didn't say anything.
In addition, Nangong Jing later said something to Xuanyuan Xingyao, so Xuanyuan Xingyao stopped deliberately finding fault.
But becoming stronger in combat is one thing, and being beaten hurts another. Well, who wants to be beaten if they can avoid it?
Xuan Yang was not the only one who felt Xuanyuan Xingyao's sharp gaze. Nangong Jing sensed a cold aura beside him and knew that this person was being petty again.
She pulled his sleeve with some amusement, signaling him to be more restrained.
Xuanyuan Xingyao didn't feel embarrassed when he saw that he was discovered by Nangong Jing, and he calmly withdrew his gaze.
When Xuan Yang saw Xuanyuan Xingyao retract his gaze, he couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, which made Lei Lin give him a mocking smile.
Xuan Yang secretly glared at Lei Lin and signaled them to switch to see if he could hold on.
Lei Lin pretended not to see Xuan Yang's eyes. Who could withstand Xuanyuan Xingyao's aura?
Before Nangong Jing put the Qilin in his arms down, he placed his hands on his head and closed his eyes.
Then everyone felt that Nangong Jing exuded a reassuring aura.
Mu Feng was overjoyed when he saw Nangong Jing's actions.
"What is Xiaojing doing?"
Bing Linxuan looked at Nangong Jing's actions and asked Xuanyuan Xingyao with some curiosity.
Although Han Yan and Mo Jiutian didn't say anything, they also looked at him with doubt.
"This is the blessing of the Beast God. Divine beasts blessed by Jing'er will have their growth time shortened, and they will have a layer of defense on their bodies. In times of danger, they can withstand some attacks and buy time for the beast to escape."
Although the divine beasts possess powerful cultivation from birth, they are very young and weak.
Therefore, young divine beasts are almost never allowed to leave their tribe. But even so, there are still some little divine beasts that are abducted by some people with bad intentions and forced into contracts.
After the contract is successful, even if the other party is killed, the little divine beast will be harmed. Therefore, many times, the divine beasts can only bear this loss uncomfortably.
Therefore, whether it is shortening the infancy period or having the defense to withstand one or two dangers, it is enough to make the divine beasts ecstatic.
"The reason why Jing'er is so popular among the divine beasts is, firstly, because of his identity, and secondly, because of this blessing."
"Then will casting this blessing do any harm to Xiao Jing?"
Compared to Bing Linxuan and Mo Jiutian's shock, Han Yan was more worried.
Xuanyuan Xingyao expressed great satisfaction with Han Yan's concern.
"This is an ability Jing'er was born with. It only consumes a little of his divine power. It won't cause any harm to him."
If casting this blessing would harm Nangong Jing, how could Xuanyuan Xingyao allow Nangong Jing to cast it.
"Thank you, Beast God."
The blessed little Qilin, after jumping out of Nangong Jing's arms, lowered its two front hooves and lowered its head slightly to express its respect and gratitude to Nangong Jing.
"How cute! Go get all your friends over here."
If you want to do good things, do them to the end.
Mu Feng originally wanted to wait until Nangong Jing and the others had finished playing, and then shamelessly ask Nangong Jing to bless the other little Qilins when they were about to leave, but he didn't expect Nangong Jing to be so generous.
Mu Feng, along with several elders, bowed deeply to Nangong Jing.
"Thank you, Beast God."
"Protecting these little guys is what I should do."
Perhaps because of his duties, Nangong Jing prefers divine beasts to those gods, especially the underage divine beasts.
When the mythical beasts grow up, they may learn the intrigues of humans, but the little mythical beasts that have not yet grown up are really very, very cute, so cute that people can't help but hug them and "torture" them.
Because of Xuan Yang, Nangong Jing has always had a good relationship with the Qilin clan. In his previous life, if a little Qilin was born in the Qilin clan, Xuan Yang would bring it to Nangong Jing and ask Nangong Jing for his blessing.
Not only Xuanyang, but also the divine beasts such as Lei Lin and Linglong are like this. This can be regarded as the benefit that Nangong Jing gives to their race.
However, ever since Nangong Jing followed Xuanyuan Xingyao into the reincarnation cycle, no one has been able to cast blessings anymore.
The Qilin clan has difficulty in reproduction, and only ten little Qilins have been born in the past thousands of years, including the one just now held in Nangong Jing's arms.
The little Qilin quickly brought the rest of the little Qilin over. The largest one was almost three thousand years old, but it still looked very small.
Nangong Jing looked at the little Qilins who saluted him adorably, closed his eyes and began to cast his blessings.
The largest little Qilin, after Nangong Jing cast his blessing, directly transformed from a young Qilin into an adult Qilin.
"Thank you, Master Beast God. I've finally grown up. Hahahaha..."
In fact, the little Qilin was just one step away from reaching adulthood, but he had spent thousands of years trying to achieve this goal. Unexpectedly, Nangong Jing helped him complete it.
Mu Feng was also very happy to see the little Qilin grow up, because this little Qilin was a little special. It was attacked by the enemy when it was still in its mother's womb, so it was a little weak after birth, and its childhood took much longer than that of ordinary little Qilin.
Mu Feng originally thought that it would take at least five thousand years for the other party to grow into an adult Qilin. Now, he can rest assured.
"This child has some congenital deficiencies. We've been worried sick about him, but now we can finally rest assured."
Mu Feng said with relief in his eyes.
"It is my duty to bring you blessings."
Nangong Jing looked at Mu Feng's gratified eyes and the admiring look of Qilin, who had just reached adulthood, and for the first time he understood what responsibilities he should bear.
It's funny to say that Nangong Jing has been a beast god since he was born, but in addition to fulfilling his duties in the beginning, he also created many mythical beasts and even demonic beasts according to the ideas of heaven and earth.
He usually stays in his own palace. Except for close friends and participating in the war to quell the war when it breaks out in the God Realm, he rarely takes the initiative to visit the beast tribe's territory.
It’s not that Nangong Jing doesn’t care about the divine beasts. He does care about them. If the divine beasts ask him for help, he will help without saying a word.
However, Nangong Jing was always passive towards the divine beasts and never took the initiative to do anything.
Nangong Jing didn’t think there was anything wrong with him before, but now he realizes that he had done too little before.
"I'll go out with you more often in the future."
No one noticed the fleeting thought in Nangong Jing's mind, only Xuanyuan Xingyao sensed Nangong Jing's thoughts, reached out and took Nangong Jing's hand, and whispered in his ear.
Nangong Jing nodded slightly, thinking that he should go out more often.
The Qilin clan had prepared a grand banquet to welcome Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao, but unexpectedly, a Qilin just happened to reach adulthood.
The Qilin tribe is very small in number, so when each adult successfully grows up, the tribe will hold a bonfire party to celebrate the Qilin's coming of age.
So the already grand banquet became even more grand, to celebrate the Qilin's coming of age.
Compared to toasting each other with cups and glasses, Nangong Jing prefers this format where everyone gathers around the campfire, eating, drinking, singing and dancing.
Seeing the Qilins transforming into their original forms and jumping happily on all fours, Nangong Jing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of joy.
Nangong Jing and his group stayed in the Qilin tribe's territory for more than a month. During this period, Bing Linxuan and the other two had no time to rest.
Almost every day he would practice with Qilin or be on his way to practice with Qilin.
At the beginning, the Qilins looked down on Bing Linxuan and his companions. They only paid attention to them because they were friends of Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao.
But as Bing Linxuan and the other two made progress again and again, and as they refused to give up even when they were injured, the Qilins gradually recognized them.
When the group left, Bing Linxuan, Han Yan and the other two had already become friends recognized by the Qilin clan. Next time, even if there was no Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao leading them, they would not be turned away by the Qilin clan.
Lei Lin was the second one to follow Nangong Jing, so after leaving the Qilin tribe's territory, Nangong Jing and his party set out on the journey to the Red Blood Thunder Leopard tribe's territory.
Speaking of which, the Red-Blooded Thunder Leopard is a mythical beast created by Nangong Jing, and Lei Lin is the first little Thunder Leopard born in their tribe.
In order to express his respect for Nangong Jing and to give Lei Lin a good future, the current leader of the Red Blood Thunder Leopard sent Lei Lin to Nangong Jing after he was born, hoping that he could follow Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing naturally would not refuse, so before Lei Bao was weaned, he was brought to his side by Nangong Jing.
Even the name Lei Lin was given by Nangong Jing. It can be said that Lei Lin is the only mythical beast that Nangong Jing has raised.
