Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 826 - 183: The Post-horse Urges On Amidst Fire_2

He refused to think about that man anymore, refused to let jealousy continue.

Because after all, he was a noble and kind Borang Sha Fire Crane.

"I have dozens of wild ’Waking Soul Herb’ plants, which are effective for treating shock disorders," Yitiao said, taking the tender small hand of the girl, gripping it firmly.

He really did not want to let go, as the warmth in his palm intoxicated him, but he knew he had to let go eventually. This feeling made his nose a bit sour.

’Waking Soul Herb’ was a medicinal herb planted by the old Mage. Although the herb garden had been abandoned and most of the herbs had been pecked by birds, only the ’Waking Soul Herb,’ like resilient foxtail grasses, continued slowly but incessantly to renew generation after generation. Although rare, it never failed to reproduce.

Possibly it was because the seeds of the ’Waking Soul Herb’ leaves were too bitter. Yitiao’s heart began to feel jealous of that man’s luck again, hating why the seeds of the ’Waking Soul Herb’ leaves were not sweet.

"He and I are just like brother and sister," the girl suddenly laughed heartily, her laugh as pleasant as Silver Bell’s, her intoxicating eyes rippling like autumn water, still stealthily sizing up Yitiao but now with a bit of mischievousness.

Yitiao was stunned.

The mountain full of peach blossoms, the distant cuddling mountains, the misty rain suddenly seemed lovely again.

The girl, light as a deer, with two graceful big butterflies, leaped down the mountain, leaving a trail of laughter.

The green stones on the mountain and the peach trees had from then on engraved the two names linked together, just like those two mountains nestled together across the valley.

Yitiao returned to the mundane world, holding Bai Suqing’s small hand, and they returned to that flashy, bustling city filled with music, bird-like chirps and voices, and strong aromas of cosmetics everywhere.

Having not left the mountain for many years, Yitiao looked around the world with deep emotion. He felt that people nowadays enjoyed life more than before. He looked curiously and enviously at everything unfamiliar before him; the mortal world was still that mortal world yet more intoxicating than ever with singing and dancing.

He thought this was the beginning of happiness, but little did he know, it was also the beginning of misfortune.

The man who was brought back to consciousness reported to the authorities that same night, his look of panic like that of a rat caught stealing lamp oil, his originally delicate face twisted out of shape.

Bai Suqing’s beautiful face was once again dressed in the heartbreaking despair and gauntness that made Yitiao ache.

In the eyes of ordinary mortals, a Divine Beast in human form was like a specter, at least in the great cities.

In remote mountain villages, the situation changed quite a bit. After living so many years on South Mountain, sometimes the mountain woodcutters would bring him some homemade rice wine, and he would often help the peasants drive away the birds that liked to peck at the seedlings, quietly listening to the children’s voices in the schoolhouse. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Not all humans were like this, among the people of the Silk Continent were warriors with formidable martial skills and Mages with profound Mana, Divine Beasts were no special beings in the eyes of these strong figures, and the hunts for Divine Beasts were as normal as the hunts for Magical Beasts on the Aegean Continent.

On Silk Continent, Divine Beasts could be sold for money, the Inner Cores in their brains {PS: On the Aegean Continent, Inner Cores are like Magic Crystals} could be made into magical instruments or crafted into armor and weapons. Here, the functions of Divine Beasts were exactly the same as those of the Magical Beasts of the Aegean Continent.

Human-shaped Divine Beasts on Silk Continent typically joined established guilds or sects, and the sects’ control over disciples was very stringent. Those who dared to commit evils naturally did not fear human warriors or the authorities’ trouble, as for some itinerant individual Divine Beasts, because they were destitute and committed evil deeds, humans naturally wouldn’t let them off.

When a human-shaped Divine Beast showed up in a petty civilian’s home, it was easily assumed by people to be a Divine Beast that worked alone; ordinary human-shaped Divine Beasts and Magical Beasts of the Aegean Continent alike weren’t Immortal Bodies, even with some elemental Mana, what could they do against the simplicity and directness of a few dozen crossbow bolts? Hence adventurers came, Mages came, with eyes full of greed.

Snakes all produce pearls, and snake pearls, also known as Sui Pearls, especially those from high-ranking serpentine Divine Beasts, were the best among the best.

The battle started from that moment, and Yitiao’s strength made all covetous villains tremble.

As the city was thrown into chaos, Bai Suqing’s sect, Lishan Gate, also intervened. In this era, nearly all human-shaped Divine Beasts belonged to a sect, and Bai Suqing was no exception; she was the sectmaster’s youngest disciple but also the sharpest.

In this era, the guilds and sects of the human-shaped Divine Beasts in the mortal world were growing stronger and were fiercely intrusive. Many in Lishan Gate were long-practiced experts, some engaged in trade, and even some had taken up official posts. The riches allowed them to squander and enjoy the best life this world had to offer.

These human-shaped Divine Beasts were very smart, they were not as bloodthirsty and evil as the Magical Beasts of the Aegean Continent, they had human forms, this alone put them in a completely different category from the Magical Beasts of the Aegean Continent.

Because they had human forms, they were unknowingly fully integrated into human society, to continue enjoying their lives, they needed to maintain the status quo, the collapse of the social system would make them uncomfortable returning to the deep mountains to absorb the dew; another reason for them to behave might be that in the grand scheme of Divine Beasts, only a few had cultivated into human forms, which was mainly caused by... the Divine Beasts wanting to cultivate into human forms faced a small restriction: during their several hundred years of cultivation, they occasionally experienced symptoms of total enervation, and if human hunters or ferocious peers happened to encounter them at such times, it would spell huge trouble. This slight limitation made many Divine Beasts choose to maintain their original form with sharp teeth and claws, only those who extremely admired the human world would have such perseverance and determination.
