The reason why the auspicious beast is auspicious is that it is one of its talents to seek benefits and avoid harm, and it is naturally intelligent. The water Qilin, which was about to break out of its shell, felt a hint of murderous intent at this moment.
The sword spirit’s words just now made Shui Qilin very panicked, and he was even more panicked now.
The elders of the tribe said that only those who work hard to seize the destiny of this world can win a chance of survival.
Woo woo, the elders clearly said that the child of destiny would like auspicious beasts.
But…
Perhaps the tribe of the little auspicious beast had planned everything, but they did not expect that the son of destiny in this world was such a weirdo. He had no interest in raising auspicious beasts, nor did he care about that illusory luck.
The water unicorn was terrified!
In order to stay alive, the egg had a strong desire to survive and repeatedly hooked the water spirit bead outside the eggshell. It would have taken more than ten hours for the eggshell to break, but it broke open in an instant.
The exhausted Water Qilin kept gasping for breath, and instinctively swallowed the Water Spirit Pearl that rolled to its mouth.
After swallowing the Water Spirit Pearl, it was immediately surrounded by water spiritual energy. It was obvious that this Water Spirit Pearl was very suitable for it.
The water unicorn struggled to stand up, ate the eggshell in two or three bites, and its body grew a little bigger. Then, it stepped forward and approached Xie Jiuniang very persistently until it came to her feet and rubbed its little head against her in a flattering manner.
Xie Jiuniang looked at the little Qilin cub in silence.
Just as recorded in the classics, it has a dragon head and a lion body, covered with scales, huge eyes and a big mouth, two sharp little fangs, and is aqua blue in color.
It is undoubtedly the water qilin.
Xie Jiuniang's murderous intent only lasted for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it and asked, "Little auspicious beast, you deliberately came to me, do you want to make a contract with me?"
The water qilin nodded hurriedly.
Seeing this, Xie Jiuniang confirmed that it had a high level of intelligence and could communicate normally with humans.
She asked again: "Is there a bloodline inheritance?"
The water unicorn nodded and shook his head.
The sword spirit translated: "Master, it means only half of the inheritance."
The water qilin nodded hurriedly again.
Xie Jiuniang didn't think about it at first, thinking that picking up the water unicorn was an accident, but later she suddenly realized. The water spirit bead has a formation pattern, and it fits the water unicorn very well, which is obviously man-made. But the person behind it should not have any malicious intentions, and the Tianshui secret realm is very suitable for the growth of the water unicorn.
In her previous life, she had never entered the Tianshui Secret Realm, and Shui Qilin chose Ren Bingyan.
Xie Jiuniang said: "I am very poor and cannot afford to support you. The environment of Tianshui Secret Realm is suitable for you. How about you stay in the secret realm to practice?"
The water qilin shook its little head frantically, as if it was afraid that Xie Jiuniang would abandon it, so it stretched out its front legs and held her feet tightly.
Xie Jiuniang said with a sad face: "I have too many and too powerful enemies. It's hard to protect myself right now. I don't have the energy to protect you anymore."
"Little Qilin, you are a beast of heaven and earth, and you are loved by heaven. You must be a powerful beast with dignity. You must never be a servant of humans, let alone a contract. Do you understand?"
"Auspicious animals with backbone would rather die standing than live on their knees."
"In order to maintain the reputation of the Qilin clan, you must be strong to the end and rely on your own abilities to grow into a unique divine beast in the world. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
"Of course, when you are young and encounter danger, it's okay to hide occasionally..."
The little auspicious beast lay at Xie Jiuniang's feet, listening attentively, with watery eyes, looking at her with admiration.
Xie Jiuniang spoke more and more earnestly.
The sword spirit only felt that the master had a conscience, but it was really not much.
She said a lot of things, the intention of which was to let the little beast be self-reliant and then teach it how to cheat resources from humans.
"It would be best if you could find a way to become the guardian beast of a large sect. That way, you would have no shortage of resources for cultivation..." The more Xie Jiuniang thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible. She picked up the water qilin and looked at it at eye level. "Do you understand what I just said?"
The water unicorn nodded its little head to show that it understood.
Xie Jiuniang added: "Then we will be best partners from now on. We will grow together and become stronger together. We will trust each other and keep secrets for each other."
"Hoooo."
"Come on! Let's sign a temporary contract so that we can communicate normally. If something happens to one party, it won't endanger the other party." Seeing Shui Qilin tilting his head as if he didn't understand, Xie Jiuniang continued to deceive him, "I have too many enemies. I'm afraid that if something happens to me one day, it will implicate you, so I won't sign a contract with you."
The water unicorn's eyes were full of sparkle, and he looked very touched.
Xie Jiuniang was very satisfied.
Just as Xie Jiuniang was about to sign a temporary contract with the Water Qilin, the Water Qilin came over first and quickly bit her finger with its sharp teeth.
Swallow a drop of her blood.
Then, Xie Jiuniang felt that there was a contractual connection between herself and the Water Qilin.
"Owner?"
It was a childish and unfamiliar voice of a little child.
Xie Jiuniang looked at the little Qilin with complicated feelings.
The little child's voice started again: "Woo woo, the master is so good to me."
So, you're just going to trick me
Xie Jiuniang could not accept her incompetence for a while.
After all this nonsense, it turns out to be a waste of time
Whether it was a master-servant contract or an equal contract, Xie Jiuniang had no intention of signing it. The master-servant contract in the Water Qilin inheritance was different from that in the world of immortal cultivation, but it was more overbearing.
The master dies and the servant takes his place.
The death of the servant does not harm the master.
The master's soul might be slightly damaged, but with Xie Jiuniang's powerful sea of consciousness and the Time Treasure Leaf in charge, it was nothing to worry about. As the master, Xie Jiuniang could terminate the contract at any time.
With the water unicorn, Xie Jiuniang had an extra life, which made it impossible for Xie Jiuniang to refuse.
In fact, this is safer for Xie Jiuniang, as she no longer has to worry about Shui Qilin being used by others to betray her.
The biggest problem at the moment is that she doesn't want to keep a beast, and she can't keep one. If others find out that she has a beast, her identity as the child of destiny will most likely be exposed.
Forget it, let’s think of a proper solution first.
The little child suddenly said, "Master, I don't want you to support me. I can support myself. When I grow up, I can still support you."
"Little Qilin is really sensible."
Xie Jiuniang was so moved!
That’s great, no need to worry.
The sword spirit gloated over the misfortune and communicated with Xie Jiuniang through the contract: "Dog master, you have been tricked. The little auspicious beast is so scheming."
"It's okay to be scheming. I, your master, have not suffered any loss, and you don't need me to support you." Xie Jiuniang's voice was extremely calm.
It is impossible to raise a contracted beast.
Not possible in a lifetime.
Xie Jiuniang thought that she would terminate the master-servant contract with Shui Qilin when she became stronger in the future.
Then, in the following time, Xie Jiuniang drove the small flying boat and looked for someone to take the blame. The secret realm was about to close, and before leaving, she had to find a temporary owner for the water unicorn.
Half an hour before the secret realm closes.
The man and the beast locked on the scapegoat... Oh, no!
It’s a temporary job—Xie Ying.
Xie Jiuniang chose Xie Ying after careful consideration.
As long as the Water Unicorn appears beside Xie Ying, her identity as the child of destiny will be set in stone in the eyes of some people.
