Chapter 183: Chapter 177 Qilin ... "That’s why I said, once she grows up!" Lan Feng continued speaking. "Don’t be shocked by such things. For Qilin, they aren’t even that powerful. If you want to see a real lizard, then we need to find wild donkeys—those beasts that still have their antlers and whiskers. Now they are worth respecting." Lan Feng arrogantly added once again, but upon hearing Phoenix’s words, Hui Yue couldn’t help but let out a snort. He was already stunned by these magical beasts, but Lan Feng’s heart held only disdain for them. Yan Xiaobao suddenly felt an incredible urge to seek out a true Qilin. Lan Feng laughed knowingly as he sensed Yan Xiaobao’s desire, but just as he was laughing, a gentle breeze swept in from behind them, carrying their scent toward the village square where the Qilin stood. When Hui Yue and Lan Feng’s scent reached the horses and the Qilin, they immediately panicked. Lan Feng and Hui Yue had merged their souls, so Hui Yue carried the scent of a Holy Beast within his soul, which was enough to terrify any Demon Beast. Lord Rong Liang noticed the Qilin’s fear and was forced to use his powers to calm them down, feeling shaken by the situation. Hui Yue’s eyes widened as he watched a gray mist that instantly subdued all the mounts, rendering them numb and lifeless. "That is spiritual energy," Lan Feng said in a calm voice. "He has transformed all beings into illusions, rendering them incapable of doing anything now. He is powerful." Yan Xiaobao felt fortunate to witness such a high-level expert, but he also realized that the mounts’ reactions had alerted Lord Rong Liang to their presence. Soon, he and his mother would surely be discovered. "Come out, little mice," the lord called out in a congenial tone, leaving Hui Yue with no reason to remain hidden. He grabbed his mother’s hand and slowly stepped out from behind the house where they had been hiding. When the village chief saw them, he raised his eyebrows but said nothing. "I apologize, sir," Hui Yue said with tears in his eyes, using his sweetest voice. "I really wanted to see who was outside the village, so I hid, inadvertently getting my mother involved in trouble." Lord Rong Liang looked shocked as he regarded the mother and child. He didn’t see how either of them could have caused his Qilin to panic, but the closer the two approached the village square, the more spiritual energy was needed to maintain his mounts’ illusions. The child was striking. With his snowy-white hair and deep blue eyes, Lord Rong Liang found it hard to believe he was merely a human child. "Where are the rest of the villagers?" Lord Rong Liang finally asked as he scanned the barren village. "We weren’t sure whether the approaching party was friend or foe; therefore, I had them hide in our protective shelter," the elderly man answered in a modest yet somewhat embarrassed voice. "You knew we were coming?" Lord Rong Liang asked in surprise, his tone sharp, as he wasn’t accustomed to anyone being aware of his movements while traveling. He was certain everyone in the village was merely cultivators ranked as students. "This young man spotted your noble party while guarding goats on the noble hillside," Yan Xiaobao quickly said, embodying a child who was a bit frightened yet brimming with curiosity. Lan Feng burst into laughter as he enjoyed the drama. Lord Rong Liang nodded as he acknowledged their discovery on the road, but his eyes never left the beautiful child before him. If the boy turned out to be half-blooded magical beast, then he knew he must procure such treasure at any cost. "You don’t look like the other villagers. Are you an orphan?" he asked with intrigue, and Hui Yue immediately sensed a hint of danger lurking in his words. fгeewebnovёl.com "We lack wealth," Hui Lifen interjected. "Our Hui Yue appeared no different from other children at birth, but during his first year, we encountered an event that led to his current appearance." She spoke with profound respect, bowing to the ground. Lord Rong Liang had a knack for dealing shrewdly with others. He could immediately tell that the woman’s words were truthful. This confused him and made him realize the child didn’t seem as simple as he had initially expected. "Village chief, bring back the other villagers. Our party will set up camp outside this village for a month to prepare for our journey into the forest." Lord Rong Liang ordered firmly. The village chief quickly nodded and turned back, leaving Hui Yue and his mother as they recalled the remaining villagers. Hui Yue and Lan Feng remained as quiet as possible. Neither wanted their current level of power noticed by this new lord, nor did they wish for anyone to attract unnecessary attention. They were greatly relieved when they managed to leave swiftly. Under Lord Yuerong’s watchful gaze, Hui Yue swiftly clasped his hands together. "We’re bound to face some trouble," Lan Feng stated in a worried tone, to which Hui Yue could only nod in agreement. Chapter Four: His First Friend Hui Yue quickly gathered the villagers who had been hiding in the shelter. When they heard Lord Rong Liang’s decision to use their humble village as a base camp for his retinue, every villager was filled with surprise and pride. However, Hui Yue didn’t share their feelings, as he felt danger every time he saw the revered lord. Lord Rong Liang consistently showed a particular interest in Hui Yue, and Hui Yue had no affection for anyone who took an interest in his affairs.
