The Anarchic Consort (1)

547-549

"Hey!" Yuan Ming jumped with fright and flew out of the flame. "Let's discuss this in peace. Please don't always threaten me."

Helian Wei Wei put down the ancient book. With her arms crossed, she raised her eyebrows as she commanded succinctly, "Spill it out."

"I am only speculating." A hint of mischief was painted across Yuan Ming's grin. "As a young boy, he is unusually strong. His sense of smell is also very sensitive, even better than Bai Ze's descendants. Since the moment he was born, his body has always been filled with vital energy. None of the devil and monster can corrode his soul Other than the mythological beast, I cannot think of any other creatures that possess these traits."

Helian Wei Wei wrinkled her thin brows and responded, "You're saying that Little Seven is not a human, but a beast? "

"Mythological beasts have their human forms as well," Whitey spoke with a mellow voice. "We have two basic forms, namely the beast form and the human form, and we will usually present ourselves in the more appropriate form according to the circumstances. However, I find it strange that I cannot detect the aura of the mythological beast in him."

Yuan Ming continued as the sinister grin remained on his face. "You fail to detect its aura only because it is extremely omnipotent. It can even bite off the thick skin of the Fire Qilin. What do you think it is? "

"You think it is..." All of a sudden, Whitey suddenly lifted its gaze to look at the little boy who was squatting at the side as he played with the ants. "No, that's utterly impossible! Back then when the Divine Exorcism Seal was applied and the man vanished, even the Ksitigarbha failed to pacify it. They had then risked everything to summon the Flame of Hell in order to hunt it down and kill it. Consequently, it was engulfed by the flame. Am I wrong?"

Yuan Ming chuckled, "Who can prove an incident that happened many years ago? Moreover, it's unlike the Fire Qilin. Even the Fire Qilin, which was inseparable from the man, rarely appeared in public unless the man was in peril. Everyone said that the Fire Qilin was the leader of the four grand mythical beasts only because it was usually forgotten by the people. Come to think of it, it stood by the man for the longest time, yet it was the most difficult one to deal with. Otherwise, why did Ksitigarbha fail to pacify it even with his powerful strength? "

"But, how did it transform into a child?" Whitey looked at the little one doubtfully.

Inevitably, Helian Wei Wei overheard their conversation. She said nonchalantly, "Maybe it didn't transform into a child."

"That's right. No one says that it has to undergo transfiguration." Yuan Ming's eyes lit up. "Its human form can possibly be a child. Therefore, only the person, who doesn't acknowledge the existence of gods and demons, spoils it abundantly."

Helian Wei Wei continued emotionlessly, "None of these are important. What matters is that Little Seven's skills are remarkable compared to normal human beings. However, he doesn't have complete control over it. In the future, both of you need to keep an eye on him. Do not let the four great elders discover him."

"It's not necessary for us to watch him." Yuan Ming looked at woods on his right, "Your man has done a good job in protecting the boy. I'm certain that the boy has shown his ability way earlier. His ability has not been deliberately magnified and utilized because your man has strategically handled and contained the circumstances. The situation has only gotten out of hand because of the immense aura of resentment that was lingering around the palace. It's similar to when someone attempted to tame the dragon god with the aura of resentment in the White Academy. However, this time, the attack doesn't seem to be targeted at him..."

Noticing that Helian Wei Wei had been standing at the same spot for a long while, the little one picked up his ears and yelled, "Third Aunt, I've finished the meat buns!"
