Chapter 20 Bloodline Enhancement
It should be noted that even the Mandala Serpent, with its nearly century-long cultivation, had never been able to make him sense a dangerous aura.
But now, he could feel a sense of oppression comparable to that of a hundred-year-old soul beast from a rabbit that wasn't even considered a ten-year soul beast before it was sent away!
Without a doubt, perhaps only...
Xiao Xun'er, a young heiress.
Xiao Xun'er paused slightly. The big rabbit and the little rabbit didn't like to eat ordinary grass. After they finished eating the blue grass that Xiao Yan brought, she used some pills to feed them.
According to Ling Ying, these are pills specifically used for cultivating magical beasts.
But to say it so bluntly.
Wouldn't that make me seem too... Besides, those pills are at least Grade One, and each one is worth no less than a hundred gold coins on the market.
Feeding for more than three months is quite a luxury.
Will this expose my identity?
Will it affect the relationship that the two of them have built up?
She looked up at Xiao Yan, and memories of the past few days flashed through her mind: him guarding her outside the door, easing the pain of her cultivation, discovering the inheritance and coming to share it, and their daily interactions...
"I fed him some... pills."
She spoke softly, watching Xiao Yan's reaction.
"Some, pills?"
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow.
Looking at the rabbit whose size had drastically changed and whose aura was dangerous, he naturally didn't believe that some kind of pill could produce such a result.
Monsters, soul beasts, and even beast races all rely on external resources for cultivation. As long as they have enough rare and precious materials, their strength can increase rapidly.
While some monsters might consume too much food, resulting in minimal effects, this isn't the case for soul beasts. Every bit of food they consume contributes to their lifespan, allowing them to grow without limit.
The number mentioned... is probably no less than a hundred.
They're so rich... I'm so envious!
He cultivated diligently, but even with just two rabbits, his strength increased rapidly.
A fleeting emotion crossed Xiao Yan's mind, and he turned his gaze back to the rabbit on the bed. He didn't know anything about the advancement of soul beasts, but he could confirm that, judging from the current situation, it wasn't a bad thing.
Advancement? In other words, it means an improvement in bloodline, becoming rarer and more powerful.
Of course, he would never say those words out loud.
He's just a six-year-old boy from the Xiao family who "coincidentally" found a rabbit. How could he possibly know all this?
Ling Ying was still watching from the shadows.
Xiao Xun'er must have shown Ling Ying the document before coming to see him, but she still came anyway.
This shows that even a Dou Huang level expert is not entirely confident.
Or perhaps you could put yourself in the shoes of the person offering the advice.
"Maybe... I ate too much?"
Xiao Yan guessed in a tone appropriate for his age, tinged with uncertainty, glancing at Xiao Xun'er, "How about, Xun'er, you...you try fasting them for a few days and see?"
Upon hearing this answer, Xiao Xun'er was stunned for a moment, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
She did indeed frequently feed the rabbits pills, almost always giving them whenever they asked for them, and they were especially well-behaved while digesting the pills, never resisting no matter how much she kneaded them...
So, the problem might really be that I'm feeding him too much?
Xiao Xun'er looked worriedly at the large rabbit on the bed, then looked down at the little rabbit rubbing against her in her arms, seemingly opening its mouth to ask for more pills. She bit her lip.
He gently pressed down the rabbit's raised head with his finger.
"No, this can't be done..."
The little rabbit's pink eyes trembled slightly, as if it had emerged from that "ecstasy" state. It looked up at its owner, its pink eyes filled with a pitiful expression.
But suddenly, it seemed to sense the presence of another entity in the room.
That kin who is growing stronger, and... the human who once cast a deep shadow over it, now wearing a kind smile!
The little rabbit shrank its head and buried its whole body deep in Xiao Xun'er's embrace, trembling. Even the last bit of desire to beg for food was swept away by fear.
Xiao Yan watched this scene silently.
The psychological trauma is still there... But he's a little worried that if one day they realize they're much stronger than him and come looking for trouble, it won't be fun.
"At least, not until I'm stronger than them."
"Xun'er," Xiao Yan turned to Xiao Xun'er, "Give it a try!"
Xiao Xun'er hesitated for a moment, then, seeing the pitiful state of the giant rabbit out of the corner of her eye, her resolve hardened.
"Um!"
But after seeing Xiao Yan off, Xiao Xun'er looked at his back and suddenly came to her senses, as if she realized something.
The other party... seems to have never asked me where all these pills came from to feed the rabbits?
Why didn't he ask? Was it because he didn't care, or...?
In that moment of distraction, Ling Ying silently appeared beside Xiao Xun'er, noticed his young mistress's expression, and slowly spoke:
"Miss, he should have known long ago. After all, ordinary people would not easily lend hundreds of gold coins to others, let alone be completely unaware of it. Furthermore, the Xiao family has never deliberately concealed the fact that you are of noble status."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er glanced sideways. So, all her concerns were unnecessary from the beginning?
Why didn't you say so sooner?
The tone of his voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction and reproach.
"I……"
Ling Ying opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't know what to say. He understood that some words and some things were perhaps only appropriate for that kid to say and do.
Despite having protected the young lady for so long, that kid had only been coming to this courtyard frequently these past few months, playing strange tricks, creating inexplicable games, and telling fantastical, even nonsensical, adventure stories with predictable plots and interactions that were almost childish...
How did things end up like this?
He couldn't quite understand.
Just like when I was a child, when I was cultivating in the ancient clan, there were always quite a few girls in my batch who liked to chat about unimportant things and their minds were not entirely focused on cultivation.
In the end, she could only marry tragically, missing many opportunities to be appreciated by the clan and advance further.
During the brief moment the two were talking, the large rabbit curled up and trembling in the room was undergoing a subtle transformation.
Its body continued to shrink, gradually returning to the original size of a domestic rabbit, while its pink fur became darker and more lustrous. Most notably, its rabbit eyes shimmered with pink light.
A natural charm!
The little rabbit was shivering in its burrow when, in the blink of an eye, it vanished into thin air and reappeared on the bed.
Talent Space!
……
I went back to my room.
"Following me has caused you all to suffer."
Looking at the plant-type soul beasts on the windowsill, Xiao Yan sighed deeply, picked up his homemade watering can, watered them one by one, and then returned to his bed and sat down cross-legged.
After waiting for a moment, his figure suddenly disappeared from the house. If he didn't work hard to cultivate, he might really be overtaken by those two strange rabbits and get kicked in the butt in the future.
And that was shortly after Xiao Yan disappeared.
The plant-type spirit beast on the windowsill stretched towards the sun, and its body gradually grew larger.
