132 Jinwus circumstances. (2/2)

Li Yang had always known that Jinwu was special for being a Golden Crow that could also use ice, but he always guessed that he was a mutated Divine Beast, not one that was naturally born the way he was, mainly because that should be impossible. Fang Ying had the same thoughts, her head tilting slightly as she questioned.

”A Divine Beast of the fire element and a Divine Beast of the ice element, ones that even carried supreme elements... had a child together?”

If two flames of the same rank were to encounter each other, they would start a violent battle for supremacy, they would not fuse together. As such, it was impossible for Divine Beasts carrying different supreme flames, like the Phoenix and the Golden Crow, to have children together, the flames would fight in the body of the child and kill it before it could be born.

If this was the case for Divine Beasts who shared an element, just how would it be for two Divine Beasts carrying supreme elements of opposing elements? Ice and fire would not coexist, they should not coexist together, it was a simple fact of life. Li Yang himself had experienced this fact of life when he altered his body using the crystal droplet in the Frozen God's Tomb, the ice and fire fighting in his body could have killed him if he hadn't been careful. And he would certainly not have been able to fuse them had it not been for Jinwu fusing his own blood into Li Yang's body. Zhao Feng excitedly nodded his head, pointing at Li Yang's dantian with gleaming eyes.

”Yes! You don't need me to tell you how rare, even downright impossible, such a thing should be. And yet here is just such an impossibility, a dual-element Divine Beast that should not exist. There is no telling how much war the humans or the Demon Race would wage in an attempt to get their hands on him, just his blood alone is extremely valuable to them. Luckily, he looks very unassuming so no one will be able to tell what he is just by looking at him or sensing his bloodline, but once they learn of his origin or get their hand on some of his blood, or see him use both his supreme elements, they will instantly know.”

A Divine Beast that should not exist, just how exciting wasn't news like this? Li Yang once again raised an eyebrow, pulling Jinwu out of his dantian and holding him up in front of him, giving his head a light flick while chuckling.

”Heh, little lazy bones had such a grand history huh? He sure doesn't act the part, I'll tell you that.”

A Divine Beast that should not exist, and it's preferred way to pass time was to rest on Li Yang's left shoulder, it truly wasted that grand title it had been given. Zhao Feng leaned back against the couch again, taking a breath to calm himself while smirking at the scene in front of him.

”Heh, I wonder just how furious the people of the Demon Race would be if they learned that you are treating such a special Divine Beast like that.”

If the Demon Race learned of Jinwu they would likely spare nothing to get their hands on him, they would probably either try to raise him to be perfectly loyal, or they might just use him as a living blood bank that they could harvest as they please. Li Yang put Jinwu back into his dantian, pointing at Zhao Feng with his chin while taking a sip of wine.

”You tell me, aren't you from the Demon Race?”

Fang Ying snagged the gourd of wine from Li Yang as he was in the middle of taking his sip, resulting in him spilling some wine on his robe and sending a light glare at Fang Ying, who simply winked at him and then drank some of his wine. Zhao Feng ignored their little flirting, puffing out his chest in an arrogant manner.

”I'm a special existence, I'm a classification of my own.”

His words couldn't exactly be denied, he was after all someone who had succeeded in reincarnation, at least he would have if it weren't for the fact that something interfered at the end. Li Yang and Fang Ying simply rolled their eyes at Zhao Feng, both choosing to not humor him, resulting in him clicking his tongue and pouting slightly while changing the subject.

”So, what have you decided to do? I haven't left the Cloud Wilderness in what feels like forever, so I'll follow you just about anywhere else.”

Li Yang snagged back his gourd of wine from Fang Ying after a short scuffle and put it to his lips so that he could take a drink, only to discover that it had been completely emptied by Fang Ying. He put the gourd away, smirking at Zhao Feng.

”Well, let's go hunt some Divine Beasts then.”

They had no leads on Bai Yawen and Ye Ning so finding them was going to be very hard, in that case, they might as well continue what they were doing here, hunting Divine Beasts to awaken Jinwu and the dragon twins. Zhao Feng nodded his head, but Fang Ying rolled her eyes after hearing Li Yang's grand declaration.

”You know, I'm sure there are clearer ways of saying that you intend to follow Tian Zheng to see if the two islands he's going to inspect carry Divine Beasts.”

They had no leads on where to find any Divine Beasts, and searching blindly was highly inefficient. In that case, it would be best to go to a place where they knew something had happened, such as the groups that Tian Zheng had lost contact with. Li Yang didn't deny what his plans were, defending his choice of words.

”Yes, but my way sounds cooler.”

Zhao Feng ended up snorting slightly, choking on the tea he was drinking when he heard Li Yang's shameless admittance. Fang Ying also let out a chuckle and nodded her head, the three of them simply enjoying the peace of having reunited.

”Aye, fair enough, I'll give you that.”
