Li Mai gave him a complicated look, "No."
Qilin glanced at Chu Yan again, then met Li Mai's gaze and said, "Thank you for saving me."
Li Mai nodded. "How do you plan to thank me, senior?"
Qilin glanced at the black-clad men fighting Zhou Quan's team in the distance and snorted, "I'll deal with my unworthy descendants."
After saying that, he ran towards Zhou Quan, but before he got there, he also transformed into a man in black.
The man in black who was fighting Zhou Quan and Phoenix Zhong Hui trembled in fear upon seeing the person rushing towards him, and knelt on the ground, instantly transforming into a miniature Qilin.
Qilin snorted coldly, "Unfilial descendant! How could the Qilin family produce such a scoundrel as you, carrying so many lives on your shoulders!"
After saying that, the Qilin swung out a palm and struck the little Qilin directly on the head. Instantly, the little Qilin screamed and transformed into a red light, which was absorbed by the Qilin's palm.
Chu Yan and Zhong Hui were dumbfounded.
When Zhou Quan saw the other party transform into a small Qilin, he was stunned. This was the Qilin that killed him in his previous life!
Did I mistake them for someone else? But their scents are so similar.
This Qilin has a similar aura to the one that stays with Zhuzhu at home, which is why he initially thought that the Qilin was the one that killed him.
The phoenix then looked over and said, "Congratulations, Qilin, you've finally come out!"
"Yes, we're out. So it turns out that the opportunity that brought us into this era was Luo Ying!"
After Qilin finished speaking, he glanced at Zhou Quan, then went off with Phoenix, their arms around each other's shoulders, to whisper to each other.
Zhou Quan glanced at their retreating figures, ignored them, and turned to find Li Mai, worried about her.
"Xiaomai, are you alright?" Zhou Quan sat down next to her, glanced at Chu Yan on the other side, and saw that she was fine. It seemed that Xiaomai had used a lot of spiritual power.
"Except for being a little weak, everything is fine, and the baby is okay too, don't worry!" Li Mai held his hand to comfort him.
"Okay, since they're all alright, shall we go back?" Zhou Quan didn't want to stay here.
Seeing the phoenix and the qilin together, he recalled some memories from a long time ago. In his previous life, he had actually known these two creatures. Now, he didn't want to pay any attention to them; these two were malicious and loved to steal things from him.
Moreover, he currently controls a descendant of a Qilin, so he's not afraid of them causing him trouble.
Li Mai nodded and leaned against him.
"Master, aren't you and your husband staying?" Chu Yan quickly stood up.
Zhong Hui also came over. "Master, are you and your husband leaving?"
Zhou Quan nodded and glanced at Chu Yan. "Congratulations, you have now awakened your spiritual root. You should thank the Qilin jade pendant you have been wearing all along."
"See that man in black over there? That's the Qilin from your Qilin jade pendant. Ask him how to cultivate it. He'll teach you. He'll need to stay with you for a while."
"And you, keep a close eye on your phoenix jade pendant and that man. Your master is pregnant and hasn't been feeling well these past few days. We only came to rescue her because we knew you were in trouble. Now we have to go back so your master can rest more."
"Ah, Master is pregnant? Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master-in-law!" The two quickly offered their congratulations.
Zhou Quan and Li Mai smiled. "Thank you. You two won't face such a calamity again in the future. Keep those two with you; they're there to protect you."
After Zhou Quan finished speaking, he quickly picked up Li Mai and went to a big tree. He said to Old Yang, who was hiding in the tree, "Please take us back, Old Yang."
Old Yang responded, and the next moment, he disappeared from the place with Li Mai and Zhou Quan.
"Just kidding. With the Qilin and Phoenix together, he, being a wood-type, wouldn't dare show his face in front of them. He'd better hurry up and follow Young Master Zhou!"
Before Chu Yan and Zhong Hui could even say goodbye, they discovered that their master and master's husband had disappeared.
The two of them curiously went over to examine the tree, but there was nothing special about it. Where was their master?
When Qilin and Phoenix finished their secret meeting and came over, they found that Zhou Quan and Li Mai were not there.
Phoenix's face darkened, and she asked Zhong Hui, "What about the other two?"
"My master and my master's husband?" Zhong Hui asked knowingly.
"Yes, the one who just saved you!" Qilin asked Chu Yan anxiously.
"They've gone back. That was my master, senior. Thank you for saving me." Chu Yan quickly bowed to the black Qilin in gratitude.
If Master just called him "senior," then he should definitely call him "senior" too.
The Qilin and Phoenix exchanged a glance and then ran away quickly.
Never mind, there's still plenty of time. I'll settle the score with that stingy Luo Ying next time we meet.
When Li Mai and Zhou Quan returned, they brought back an old man named Yang.
Zhou Quan escorted Li Mai to her room, then went to the shopkeeper to book a room for the old man as well. After settling the old man down to sleep, he returned to his own room.
Li Mai was nowhere to be seen in the room. He knew she had gone into the space, so he tidied up and washed up before going to bed to wait for her.
Li Mai drank a bowl of spiritual spring water in the space.
This was her second bowl today. She didn't dare to drink any more. After drinking only one bowl, she left the space and saw that Zhou Quan was already lying down reading. She also washed up and went to bed to rest.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Zhou Quan asked softly.
Li Mai shook her head: "It's alright, go to sleep!"
"It seems our child is a sensible child. Despite all the trouble we went through today, he didn't make you uncomfortable." Zhou Quan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that he was alright.
Li Mai also felt that the child was really good. Her mother-in-law said that when she was pregnant, she had to vomit for two or three months, but she only felt uncomfortable for about ten days and then she was fine.
The next day, when they were having breakfast, Yun Chang noticed an old man at their table.
Although the old man's hair and beard were completely white, he looked very energetic.
"What is this?" Yun Chang asked Zhou Quan in a low voice.
“Brother, this is Old Yang, a senior who has no children. He helped me and Xiaomai before. We happened to run into him last night, so we brought him back. He’s coming with us now,” Zhou Quan introduced to Yun Chang.
"Old Yang, this is Xiaomai's sworn brother, Yun Chang. You can just call him Young Master Yun." Zhou Quan also introduced Yun Chang to the old man.
Yun Chang?
The old man glanced at Yun Chang and immediately knew who he was.
He had met the world-famous young general twice, but he could hardly believe that he would be in such a small town, and that he was the sworn brother of Lady Zhou.
The two exchanged pleasantries.
After they set off again, the old man sat in Yun Chang's carriage.
When it was just the two of them, the old man cupped his hands towards Yun Chang and said, "Greetings, Prince Yun."
Yun Chang waved her hand, "Senior, you're too kind. Are you like my sister and brother-in-law?"
Old Yang nodded, "Yes, I wonder why Your Highness's soul essence is incomplete?"
