Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return

Chapter 1541: Chapter 1541: Descendant of the Kirin Royal Family

”Take this.” Jue Dang didn’t bother with him any further, passing a round orb to Mu Hanyan. It seemed he intended to give it to the Little Auspicious Beast, but as the creature hung onto Mu Hanyan’s pant leg, swaying back and forth while sleeping soundly, he had no choice but to hand it over to Mu Hanyan.

”What is this?” Mu Hanyan asked curiously.

The orb was the size of a pigeon egg, crystal clear and jade-like, as if exquisitely carved from jade. Yet, it felt warm in the hand. A touch with the Divine Sense revealed that it seemed to contain some mysterious, pure and exceptionally vast power, akin to an Elixir, but without any traces of refinement.

”I don’t know either. This was left by the Great-Grandfather, who said that if we ever found the Young Master, this should be handed over to him. I think it might be related to the Young Master’s injuries,” Jue Dang mused.

Mu Hanyan’s eyes lit up. Previously uninformed of the Little Auspicious Beast’s lineage and origins, she didn’t care about its slow growth or long sleep. But knowing now its identity as the Kirin Young Master, of course, she hoped it would grow quickly.

Though she could console herself by thinking that millions of years later, the mysterious woman’s enemies might have long since forgotten her existence—even in the vast Holy Continent, they might not be able to find her through eight reincarnations—she knew that for those legendary cultivators with Divine power, a million years may not be as long as imagined, and finding her might not be as difficult.

”Hey, open your eyes and see, what exactly is this?” Mu Hanyan shouted loudly, tugging at the Little Auspicious Beast’s pig-like ear.

”Be careful, be careful, just wake him up, don’t hurt the Young Master.” Among Exotic Beasts, the hierarchy is far stricter than among humans. Seeing Mu Hanyan’s crude movements, the Old Qilin said nervously, worried beyond belief.

Evidently, his worry was needless.

Mu Hanyan twisted the little creature’s ear for quite a turn, shouting several times, but it showed no reaction, continuing to snore sweetly.

Mu Hanyan then lifted her leg, kicking forward then backward, and swayed left and right.

”Careful, careful, don’t let the Young Master fall.” The Old Qilin shouted worriedly again.

Of course, his worry was still needless.

Though the little creature slept like a pig, its two paws gripped exceptionally tightly, as if they grew into Mu Hanyan’s leg. No matter how Mu Hanyan kicked and swung, with added air rotations, it still clung firmly, unchanged in its snoring.

This left Mu Hanyan helpless. Having finally woken up, its capabilities seemed greatly improved, yet it had become sleepier than before.

”Perhaps let it be, the Young Master is likely tired from the earlier exertion and needs more rest. Though I don’t know what this exactly is, if my guess isn’t wrong, it might be a Divine Beast Inner Core condensed from a lifetime of cultivation by a Qilin elder, which can help the Young Master repair the damaged Qilin Blood Essence,” Jue Dang suggested.

”How should it be used?” Mu Hanyan asked.

”I can’t be sure, maybe just like an Elixir, directly eaten,” Jue Dang speculated.

The moment the word ’eat’ was uttered, the Little Auspicious Beast abruptly opened its eyes and its figure flashed past him, making the guessed Divine Beast Inner Core disappear without a trace.

The movement was as swift as a streak of light, even the Old Qilin couldn’t avoid it.

A moment later, a crisp munching sound was heard, and the inner core was entirely devoured.

Zhuang Ping’an and others were dumbfounded, staring at the Kirin Young Master, who was blissfully savoring every bite, unable to believe it was the same little piglet that had slept like a log, immune to shaking or calling.

Only Huayue and others seemed unperturbed. Only when food was involved did this little guy live up to its name, Liu Guang. Besides being the Sleep God, this creature was undeniably a glutton.

The round pill was just the size of a pigeon egg, swiftly devoured by the Little Auspicious Beast in a few quick bites.

Mu Hanyan initially felt uneasy and tried to stop it, but it was simply too fast; before she could speak, it had eaten so thoroughly there wasn’t even a residue left.

”Roar...” Suddenly, the Little Auspicious Beast let out a thunderous roar, with colorful rays of light emerging around its body.

A mysterious aura released from it, and the piglet-like body began changing rapidly, just like Jue Dang’s earlier transformation.

In the shadowy blur, an elegant beast silhouette gradually emerged in front of everyone, increasingly resembling the legendary Qilin Divine Beast.

Jue Dang’s guess turned out correct; it was indeed a Divine Beast Inner Core condensed by a Qilin power, capable of repairing the damaged Qilin Blood Essence. As the Little Auspicious Beast steadily reverted to its Qilin form, Mu Hanyan felt relieved.

”Hmm, something seems off?” Jue Dang suddenly remarked in confusion.

”What’s off?” Mu Hanyan asked puzzled.

”It doesn’t quite look like a Qilin, the Young Master, being of Kirin Royal Family descent, has the purest bloodline, how could this be?” Jue Dang said.

Indeed, the form of the Little Auspicious Beast continued to change, yet compared to the Qilin Divine Beast depicted in the ancient books seen by Mu Hanyan, it lacked some ethereal beauty and instead appeared more imposing and majestic. The aura it emitted was filled with a more fierce intent, greatly different from the legendary auspicious beast.

”This doesn’t make sense, how could this be?” Jue Dang muttered to himself, perplexed.

Mu Hanyan focused her gaze on the Little Auspicious Beast, with a sudden realization. Although it didn’t completely resemble the legendary Qilin, its difference surprisingly resembled another Divine Beast she had seen.

Aolai Divine Beast! Yes, it was the Aolai Divine Beast!

Mu Hanyan suddenly understood why the Qilin Clan was implicated and had to flee; a significant reason was this Little Auspicious Beast. It turned out to be a descendant of both Aolai and the Qilin Clan.

”Roar...” The Little Auspicious Beast once again let out a loud roar, but this time, it was clearly filled with pain.

Mu Hanyan quickly dismissed any distracting thoughts, and her Divine Sense explored the Little Auspicious Beast. An immense power was filling the Little Auspicious Beast’s body, while the surrounding Heaven and Earth Power rapidly converged from all directions.

The terrifying part was the discord between the Heaven and Earth Power and the internal force, with two forces entangled in a chaotic struggle, and the Little Auspicious Beast at the center of this conflict.

”Oh no!” Mu Hanyan exclaimed in shock.

Others might not have reacted yet, but she was the first to realize the situation.

The Divine Beast Inner Core left by the Qilin power was refined with a lifetime cultivation, certainly within the Heaven and Earth Rules. However, at that time, the Holy Continent had not split, and its laws were different from the present Heaven and Earth Rules. For the Little Auspicious Beast to refine and absorb it, it naturally required both sets of Heaven and Earth Rules, but this Spiritual Beast Illusion Realm was ultimately a part of the Holy Court Continent, with incomplete rules, so how could it possibly refine it?

The Little Auspicious Beast was in danger!
