Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 35

In the courtyard, An Xiaoyao brewed a pot of tea, poured Lin Que seven-tenths full, and then slowly explained.

“As long as you keep the divine beast egg by your side and infuse it with spiritual energy daily, once the divine beast hatches, you can use the Beast Taming Sect’s techniques to train it from a young age. When it grows up, it will surely become a combat power comparable to a guardian divine beast.”

“I see.”

Lin Que originally didn’t care much about external forces like beast taming, as he relied on his own combat power as a sword cultivator. But if he could gain a combat power for free, it might come in handy in future unknown crises.

Fortunately, he didn’t really crack the egg for cooking or refining.

Speaking of refining, he thought of the demonic beast forest and told An Xiaoyao about it.

“Teacher, let me tell you about the origin of this egg. It was in a refining formation in the demonic beast forest…”

Listening to Lin Que’s story, An Xiaoyao’s brows finally furrowed slightly.

“Qing’er also reported this to me. I originally planned to investigate the cause of the demonic beasts’ abnormal movements in the back mountain myself, but hearing your story, I have some clues.”

She took a sip of tea, pursed her rosy lips, and continued, “The demonic beasts in the back mountain don’t have the foundation to obtain a divine beast egg, and the refining formation is clearly the work of human cultivators. There must be some hidden secrets behind this. Que’er, tell me the location of the refining formation cave, and I’ll investigate it later.”

“Alright.” Lin Que didn’t doubt her, took out a map, and marked the location.

After glancing at the map, An Xiaoyao nodded, drank the tea in her cup, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, she specifically instructed Lin Que, “Que’er, remember not to tell anyone about this, or it could bring disaster.”

“I understand.”

Lin Que naturally understood the principle of “an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth,” and he knew very well that the divine beast egg falling into the resource-poor demonic beast forest must involve significant interests.

Since An Xiaoyao decided to investigate alone, Lin Que didn’t plan to follow her, but instead flew back home on his sword.

He placed the egg by the bedside in his bedroom, thought for a moment, and then drew a warming array, nodding in satisfaction.

Just as he settled the divine beast egg, Lin Que felt a weight on his shoulder, and a familiar voice rang out.

“Hey, do you really think the matter of this egg is as simple as that woman said?”

The little demon poked a dimple into Lin Que’s cheek with her fair fingers, teasingly.

“It’s just the interests behind the scenes. I’m not good at this kind of thing, so I’ll leave it to the teacher.”

Lin Que was telling the truth. Every profession has its specialization. He didn’t think that his combined age of less than fifty in two lifetimes could compare to An Xiaoyao’s temperament.

Although An Xiaoyao never mentioned her age, she was probably a great power who had lived for hundreds of years. In terms of temperament and strategy, she was undoubtedly far superior to a young man like him.

“That’s not what I meant. I’m talking about the function of this egg. Do you really think it can only be hatched and used as an ordinary beast?”

Seeing that Lin Que didn’t get it, the little demon “kindly” reminded him.

“Otherwise, you can’t really use it for cooking, right?” Lin Que blinked.

The little demon was choked by Lin Que’s retort and coughed twice. “The reason why a divine beast is called a divine beast is naturally because it has something more powerful than a demon beast or a spirit beast!”

“For example, it tastes better and has higher nutritional value?”

“Idiot, is food all you think about?!”

The little demon took a deep breath, adjusted her mindset, and continued to explain, “That woman does have some insight to recognize this as a divine beast egg, but she was wrong about its use. The reason divine beasts are special is because of their extraordinary qualifications. From the moment they are born, they have already crossed the major threshold that ordinary spirit beasts and demon beasts need hundreds of years to cross.”

“You mean… transformation?”

This time, Lin Que’s expression became serious.

In the world of cultivation, the eight extraordinary meridians of the human race are the most special existence, capable of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and forming their own cycle. This is something that demon beasts or spirit beasts cannot achieve.

The way of heaven, taking from the excess to replenish the deficiency. Although beasts are naturally stronger in physique than the weak human race, their cultivation speed is far behind that of the human race. Often, ten years of hard cultivation can barely reach the level of Qi Refining.

Therefore, the beasts in this world would go to great lengths to transform into humans, in order to cultivate the unique eight extraordinary meridians of the human race and thus advance further in their cultivation.

Seeing Lin Que’s serious expression, the little demon nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s right, and divine beasts inherit the advantages of both humans and beasts. Not only do they transform at birth, but they also grow at the speed of beasts, reaching adulthood in less than a year~”

The little demon raised her eyebrows mischievously, and the last few words were obviously emphasized. “You understand what this means, right?”

“It means I don’t have to work hard to raise it to adulthood?” Lin Que asked.

Having been with the little demon for so long, he immediately guessed her little scheme, but naturally, Lin Que couldn’t follow this line of thought.

“Hmph, don’t pretend you don’t understand me. I confirmed the gender of this divine beast last night. It’s a girl. With your physique, as long as you raise her to adulthood and then command her as her master to dual cultivate with you, you can gain many benefits, such as nirvana.”

“Nirvana? You mean this thing is a phoenix?”

Actually, Lin Que wasn’t too surprised by this answer. After all, when he found the egg, the temperature in the cave was unusually high. Coupled with the fact that it was oviparous and had fiery red patterns, he quickly thought of a phoenix.

“Uh-huh.” The little demon nodded, her tone seductive as she continued, “So, how about it? When the time comes, if you dual cultivate with her, I’ll give you the rest of the cultivation techniques. That way, your old injuries can be healed too!”

“No.”

From noble mtl dot com

Lin Que decisively refused. He was a staunch warrior of pure love, and since he had decided to become a Dao companion with Qin Wanyuan, he would never betray her.

Moreover, dual cultivation with the divine beast he raised himself… Not to mention whether there is reproductive isolation in this world, just the fact that he raised it himself is unacceptable.

Because it always reminds him of things like “Guilty Father.”

“You blockhead!”

Once again, the little demon’s temptation failed, and she disappeared angrily.

Just as she disappeared, Qin Wanyuan’s voice came from the courtyard.

“Lin Lang, it’s time for dinner!”

Walking out of the room, Qin Wanyuan had prepared a table of exquisite dishes, mostly ordinary home-cooked meals, very warm and cozy.

Lin Que sat on the chair, side by side with her.

“Lin Lang, did you ask about the origin of that egg?” Qin Wanyuan asked curiously.

“Yes.”
