"I... I, I, I don't know how! I don't know how I ended up like this either."
The Earth Fire Qilin Beast looked completely wronged.
Truth be told, it had no idea how it had co to look exactly like Yang Xiao.
Moreover,
it discovered that it couldn't change back.
It was as if this form was now fixed.
But soon enough, the creature's expression turned arrogant. "So what if I look like you now? Don't forget, you took my Divine Communication Grass!"
It put on a proud and petulant look as it spoke.
This made Yang Xiao's blood boil.
This punk. Give him an inch, and he'd take a mile.
"Is the Divine Communication Grass more important, or is your life more important?"
Yang Xiao wore a malicious grin.
"Of course it's the Divine Comm... haha, no, my life is more important! Boss, look, I'm just like you now. How about you just treat as your long-lost little brother? What do you think? With our relationship, tsk tsk, you know... right?"
The creature had been about to say "Divine Communication Grass," but one look at Yang Xiao's expression made its heart skip a beat.
It imdiately changed its tune.
It then sidled up to him with a shaless, fawning grin.
This left Yang Xiao speechless, and he couldn't help but wonder...
...if resurrecting this punk had been a mistake.
"Then it's happily decided! Right, I seem to rember your na is Yang Xiao. From now on, my surna is Yang too. I'll be Yang Lin. How's that? The 'Lin' from 'Qilin.' Sounds impressive, doesn't it?"
Yang Xiao hadn't even said a word.
But this guy, with his head of long, purplish-red hair and a face identical to Yang Xiao's, had already given himself a na.
'The "Lin" from "Qilin," no less!'
'Bah!'
"Wait, how do you know my na is Yang Xiao?"
Yang Xiao's expression suddenly turned ugly.
The Earth Fire Qilin Beast—oh, no, Yang Lin—just chuckled slyly.
He didn't answer.
But Yang Xiao already knew.
'Damn it! He actually absorbed my residual Spirit Will! Fuck, does this guy have no sha?'
Just now, because everything had happened so suddenly, Yang Xiao had used the crudest, most direct thod to erase his Spiritual Brand: he'd shattered it completely.
Only by doing so could the Qilin True Body beco a new, independent individual.
Yang Xiao had even suffered a minor injury in the process.
But he never expected...
...this guy to be so utterly shaless.
He had actually absorbed the fragnts of his spirit. Was that why this guy looked exactly like him?
No.
That wasn't the main point.
The main point was that this guy now possessed a portion of his mories.
He knew everything the Qilin True Body had seen.
The effect was sowhat similar to the Heart Spirit fusion within a Spiritual Qi Fusion.
Of course, Yang Xiao himself would never see it that way.
If anyone were to say that...
...even as a re taphor, he would probably fly into a rage.
He'd strangle that person on the spot.
And then curse them out.
"What kind of trash taphor is that?! How could I, your father, have a Heart Spirit fusion with a male beast!"
Just thinking about it...
...made Yang Xiao feel sick to his stomach.
And yet, it was the closest taphor to the truth.
Therefore, Yang Xiao was furious.
He no longer cared that this guy had once been his savior. After all, by resurrecting this punk, he had repaid the debt.
Having made up his mind, Yang Xiao raised his hand.
"Go play sowhere else!"
A huge slap descended.
He smacked the guy right back into his Qilin True Body form. At this mont, the Qilin True Body was vastly different from the original Earth Fire Qilin Beast. It had taken on the appearance of a Purple Fire Qilin.
Of course, it was only the appearance that was the sa. A true Purple Fire Qilin was a Divine Beast, after all.
This guy still had a long way to go.
"SOB SOB SOB... Big Brother, how could you hit ? I'm not even an adult yet, I'm just a kid, okay?"
Yang Lin actually started to cry.
But now, he was in the form of a Purple Fire Qilin.
It was a sight as bizarre as one could imagine.
Besides, anyone with eyes could see that the punk was just faking it.
However, strictly speaking, according to the lifespan of a Barbaric Beast, the several-hundred-year-old Earth Fire Qilin Beast was indeed still an adolescent, not yet having shed its childishness.
Even its sapience had only awakened recently.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have valued the Divine Communication Grass so highly.
As for why it was clinging to Yang Xiao?
Simple.
He was a powerful backer.
How long had it been?
A year, perhaps.
And he was already reborn, with his strength soaring.
It had increased by more than a thousandfold.
From the previous Peak of Tier Four Middle-Grade...
...he had now reached the Peak of Tier Five Middle-Grade, and his combat strength was comparable to a Peak of Tier Five Upper-Grade Barbaric Beast.
This was simply...
...a difference of several thousand tis.
Moreover, he had also gained so insights into the Fla Emperor Divine Fist from Yang Xiao. Although it wasn't much, it was the very essence—even more fundantal than what Lu Fangliang had obtained.
Coupled with his own aptitude, which had been reford by the True Greater Yang Fire and the Heaven and Earth Origin Fire...
...his future prospects were limitless.
And all of this...
...had been given to him by Yang Xiao.
How could he not cling to him?
In this guy's mind, how long would it have taken if he had cultivated on his own?
Now, as long as he followed his boss...
...his future achievents would be rock solid.
"Yang Xiao, I think you should just let him follow you. He looks so pitiful,"
Yang Ziling was the first to soften.
She actually knew that while Yang Xiao was being stubborn now, he had done so much for this creature, even crippling a Divine Technique he had cultivated.
He had even captured Xuan Tianzhan to retrieve its Beast Soul for him.
He clearly cared about this creature.
He just didn't want to admit it.
So, she decided to step in and smooth things over.
The Earth Fire Qilin Beast—oh, from now on, he was Yang Lin.
He scurried over like a puppy, snot and tears streaming down his face, and said, "Sister-in-law is the best! Sister-in-law, if Big Brother bullies again in the future, you have to help , okay?"
His words...
...made Yang Ziling's face flush with a deep crimson blush.
Inwardly, though, she felt a little sweet.
Yang Xiao, on the other hand, looked furious.
This guy.
And that Yang Tian from before... why did everyone seem to think there was sothing going on between him and Yang Ziling?
Heaven have rcy.
He hadn't done anything, okay?
But Yang Xiao couldn't be bothered to explain. He shot Yang Lin a glare and said irritably, "Fine. If you want to die with , then tag along. But let warn you, it might not be long before Xuan Tianzhan takes control of this Northern Wilderness Sword Mansion. When that happens, following will only get you killed again. Or maybe you won't even be lucky enough to die. Have you thought this through?"
"Xuan Tianzhan?"
Yang Lin seed dazed for a mont, but then, he finally rembered.
It was that guy.
The one who had brought him to this state.
Although he was resurrected now...
...if it weren't for Yang Xiao...
"Big Brother, don't worry! My enmity with Xuan Tianzhan is irreconcilable. Even if he doesn't co looking for , I'll go find him and kill him!"
He said this...
...with savage ferocity.
It actually had a bit of Yang Xiao's flair.
For a mont, Yang Xiao thought he was seeing his newly born self from his first life. Huh? How did this guy change back into his appearance again?
'No wonder I had that strange feeling.'
'Bah!'
'It was just a trick of the eye.'
This ti, however, Yang Xiao didn't get angry again.
He just said faintly, "Suit yourself."
But in his heart, he had accepted this brother.
By resurrecting the Earth Fire Qilin Beast and taking the punk on as a little brother, Yang Xiao had finally put one of his worries to rest.
He looked toward Yang Tian.
And took out an item.
It was the Desolate Divine Fruit he had obtained from the Inheritance Tower.
"Is that a Desolate Divine Fruit? Junior Brother, you really are lucky."
Before Yang Xiao could even ask,
Yang Tian cried out first.
His face was full of envy.
This stunned Yang Xiao for a mont.
'Could it be that this ordinary-looking fruit actually has so special effect?'
