Chapter 290: The Three-Eyed Jade Kirin
Yu Muhan replied, "No, I think I'm probably the only one in the team without a contracted beast."
Ye Fei pointed to the glowing egg on the stone platform: "Maybe it's this spirit beast egg that's attracting you. Let's wait here. The spirit beast inside might be about to hatch."
Yu Muhan was a little shocked. Was this egg attracting her?
Ye Fei pulled Yu Muhan behind a big tree, using the nearby plants to conceal themselves, and quietly waited for the thing inside the egg to come out.
Not long after, Ye Fei keenly heard a slight cracking sound coming from the spirit beast egg.
"Crack..."
The two girls stared wide-eyed as the eggshell of the spirit beast egg cracked open at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then, furry little paws scratched through the eggshell and emerged!
With a crack, the eggshell split in two, and a cute little spirit beast crouched on the stone platform—
Its round, bulging eyes were as black as two obsidian stones, its body was covered in bright yellow fur, and its soft body looked no bigger than the palm of a hand. Above its forehead were two delicate little antlers, but those antlers had a jade-like luster.
"Xiao Fei...you mean this is the spirit beast that's attracting me?" Yu Muhan rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that he wasn't seeing things, a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "This spirit beast is so exquisitely beautiful!"
Ye Fei didn't know what kind of spirit beast it was, so she could only release Qing Li from her spiritual space: "Qing Li, do you recognize that little beast?"
Standing atop Ye Fei's head, Qing Li blinked at the little beast licking its fur and exclaimed in surprise, "This is a light-type sacred beast... the Three-Eyed Jade Qilin!"
"What?! A sacred beast?!" Ye Fei was shocked. This little beast was already a sacred beast from birth?!
"There's nothing strange about that. The Qilin clan was the royal family of beasts a long time ago, and almost all the Qilin born after that have come with divine power. This three-eyed jade Qilin is no exception."
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow: "Would this kind of spirit beast attract spirit masters who also possess the light attribute?"
“Sacred beasts are proud and never release their summoning power to attract spirit masters casually,” Qingli replied. “The three-eyed jade unicorn probably sensed that the light-type spiritual energy on your teammate had an extraordinary power, so it chose its own master.”
After listening to Qingli's words, Yefei finally understood—in short, it was because Muhan's light-type spiritual energy was special, and the little beast liked it very much, so it took the initiative to release its summoning power to attract Muhan here, intending to form a contract with it directly after hatching.
Yu Muhan turned around and saw the baby bird perched on Ye Fei's head, and asked in surprise, "Little Fei, you also have a contracted beast?"
Ye Fei smiled and said, "You'll have one soon too."
"Huh?" Yu Muhan looked bewildered.
Ye Fei pointed at the little beast: "It wants to form a bond with you."
Yu Muhan: "..."
She pointed incredulously at herself: "With me? Why?"
Before Ye Fei could answer, the three-eyed jade unicorn leaped off the stone platform with a thud and quickly ran towards Yu Muhan with its short legs.
Before Yu Muhan could react, the little beast suddenly pounced into her arms, its short tail wagging happily, its eyes blinking, looking like it was trying its best to please her.
"It seems to like you a lot." Ye Fei smiled helplessly.
Yu Muhan, holding the little beast, looked completely bewildered: "This spirit beast... what am I supposed to do with it?"
Ye Feiyi said simply, “It’s very simple. You formed a bond with it; it chose you.”
"Huh? But I..."
Before she could finish asking the question, Qingli on Ye Fei's head suddenly flapped her little wings anxiously: "Master! Master! A powerful spirit beast is approaching us! Run!"
