Chapter 124 – Fairy

Bathed by the afterglow of the setting sun, silence filled the area.

Little Jade and Puppy are staring dully at the human-shaped Phecda, speechless.

The scene just now exceeded their understanding.

In fact, let alone them, even Ye Zhen who has a wide range of knowledge was unable to react the first time he witnessed Phecda's Transfiguration, while Qi Qiqi even more so fainted from fright. Of course the main reason why they had such reactions was that Phecda has transformed into a legendary creature, a white dragon.

Magic may be too foreign of a concept to this world.

In particular this kind of spell that can change your shape at will, they probably didn't expect that the true qi inside them has this kind of ability.

“Wow! Turned into a human… the kitten turned into a human!”

Of the two, the first one to snap out of it is Little Jade.

Unlike Xue Qilin imagined, she wasn't frightened by the unexpected scene, but instead rushed to in front of Phecda, excited.

“Hey hey! Are you also a martial demon?”

The la.s.s appears to know that martial demons can take human form.

It's no wonder. After all, she has an irregular martial demon as a friend. Xue Qilin glanced at the martial demon who wants to approach Phecda, but then stopped due to lack of courage, thinking that he's similar to Gong Tianqing.

No, it's a bit different. Gong Tianqing is timid, but she is not afraid of things. But the martial demon Puppy is a coward, and he may have some inferiority complex.

It isn't difficult for Xue Qilin to understand how his character developed this way, not at all.

That is the typical disposition of those who have been bullied for a long time.

In spite of this, Puppy is able to summon the courage to step forward and protect his friend.

Although he can't use the spiritual qi inside him, and Xue Qilin hasn't released the aura of a Heaven Realm master. But since martial demons are much more sensitive than humans, he should more or less sense the threat of Xue Qilin.

However, he still blocked in front of Xue Qilin at that moment. This courage is rare, at least for a coward.

“But you have no ears and no tail!”

Little Jade's enthusiasm is a bit scary.

She circled Phecda repeatedly and even poked her several times, trying to determine whether the la.s.s the kitten has turned into is real or not.

“I am not a martial demon, I am Qilin's sword spirit!”

Fool, don't say unnecessary things! Xue Qilin glared at Phecda.

Sword spirit… or item spirit is an unimaginable existence in this world. Phecda is probably the first case. Xue Qilin isn't sure what kind of uproar it will cause once Phecda's existence is divulged.

A complete item spirit has the ability to match a Grandmaster and disrupt the balance of the world. Even the greatly weakened Phecda, under the condition that she's fully charged with spiritual qi, she can enable Xue Qilin who is a Heaven Realm master to be a match for a Grandmaster for a short period of time.

If the gap between the Heaven Realm and the Grandmaster Realm is likened to an uncrossable river, then Phecda is a bridge that can be erected on the river for a short time.

Phecda who realized that she has divulged something that she shouldn't have made an “ah” sound, then promptly covered her mouth and peeped at her owner's expression with a pitiful look in her eyes. Xue Qilin rolled her eyes, unhappy.

“Hey, Big Sister! Your kitten can turn into a human! It must be an Fairy Cat! My mother said that Fairies have 72 transformations!”

Instead of investigating what a sword spirit is, Little Jade ran to Xue Qilin and uttered thusly, stirred.

Unable to catch up with the other party's erratic thinking, Xue Qilin was taken aback. But then the other party asked another question that Xue Qilin cannot answer.

“Big Sister, are you a Fairy?”

Little Jade asked with s.h.i.+ning eyes.

“Fairy?”

On Celestial Mountain located at Hua Dynasty's northern border, there lies Celestial Lake. It is said that “Fairies” can be seen on the surface of the lake.

Legend has it that Fairies possess extraordinary, untainted beauty as well as the power to dominate the world. They supposedly descend from the Heavens on quiet nights, bathe in Celestial Lake that contains a qi dragon vein, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon to improve their skills.

So the Fairy Little Jade speaks of is a Fairy of legend? Xue Qilin blinked.

“Why are you s.p.a.cing out again, is that how Fairies are?”

Little Jade crossed her arms like an elder. She doesn't seem to be afraid of offending Xue Qilin, the supposed mighty Fairy.

Should it be said that she is fearless, or that she is naive? Perhaps she is both. Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose and suddenly had a mischievous idea.

“Hum hum, aren't you afraid that this Fairy will turn you into a bug with her fairy arts?”

Xue Qilin pretended to be fierce and stroked her finger across Little Jade's cheek.

Little Jade trembled and jumped up from fright.

“I…I don't believe you!”

Even though her tone is shaky, Little Jade still said, unresigned: “Unless you show me your fairy arts!”

This little girl thinks she's clever! Doesn't she just want to see the fairy arts… Xue Qilin doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.

“Then take a look!”

“Mhm!”

Little Jade stared at Xue Qilin's extended index finger intently.

Suddenly, a small flame emerged from Xue Qilin's fingertip and illuminated Little Jade's eyes.

The flame reflected in the bright yellow eyes sways gently.

“Trick…”

Shocked, Little Jade looked back and forth between Xue Qilin's expression that says “do you believe me now?!” and the flame on her fingertip. Puppy standing aside showed an incredulous expression.

“How is it?”

Xue Qilin hummed twice while shaking the finger, and the flame on the fingertip swayed accordingly.

“Is this a Demimonde trick?!”
