Chapter 133: You Owe Me a Favor

He only knew that the birth of this little creature had caused quite a stir.

Initially, he had assumed it was merely the birth of an ordinary spirit beast, but now, every family and every faction seemed intensely interested in the little thing. It was rumored to be a King-tier spirit beast. However, there was another whisper circulating that it was the first "fierce beast" to ever be born on the Tianwu Continent.

Whether in ancient texts or folklore, fierce beasts were considered absolutely malevolent entities. They were far more ruthless than demonic beasts and possessed even more formidable combat strength. In the presence of a fierce beast, even demonic beasts would have to bow and submit, just as spirit beasts would before a divine beast. Fierce beasts were bloodthirsty and powerful; if they could not be controlled, they had to be slaughtered. Consequently, some sought to eliminate this creature before it could grow into a threat, while others hoped to tame it for their own use.

Si Han was also concerned for Ji Tianxin. If those people found her and discovered that the master of this fierce beast was nothing more than a fragile, defenseless little girl who could be easily bullied...

"Roar!" Shiyue let out a beastly cry at Si Han.

Even though it was clearly just the cry of a cub, Si Han subconsciously took a step back. A tremor originating from his very soul surged through his entire body. It was the pressure of a King-tier beast—no, it was even greater than that!

"Sixth rank?" He was stunned. A newly born cub was already at the sixth rank? A sixth-rank beast was equivalent to an expert at the Mingqiao stage! In other words, this little fierce beast currently possessed cultivation comparable to his own. Shiyue glared at Si Han with crimson eyes, its ferocious aura fully displayed.

"Do you want it?" Seeing Si Han staring fixedly at Shiyue, Ji Tianxin assumed he wanted the creature. Before he could answer, she added, "I won't give it to you now."

If he had asked earlier, she would have given it to him. But now, Shiyue was already part of her family.

Si Han shook his head. "No, I am just astonished that a newly born fierce beast is already at the sixth rank." From that low growl just now, he was certain this little thing was indeed a fierce beast. The overwhelming baleful aura it radiated was something he had never encountered before; it was absolutely not something possessed by spirit beasts or demonic beasts.

"Because it is a relic of the ancient era," Ji Tianxin said, glancing at Shiyue on her shoulder. "That is why it was born at the sixth rank."

A relic of the ancient era? Si Han had never even heard of such a thing. What he was truly curious about now was, "How do you know that?"

This girl had correctly identified it as a fierce beast, and now she claimed it was an ancient relic. But how could she possibly know these things? Could someone have told her?

Ji Tianxin furrowed her brows slightly and looked at Si Han with a strange expression. "If you live long enough, you just naturally come to know these things."

Si Han fell silent. If you live long enough, you just know? The little girl was clearly trying to hoodwink him. He chuckled, "Fine, fine. If you don't want to say, then so be it. I won't make it difficult for you."

Although Su Qing also felt it was strange, she knew that her mistress would not lie.

"However, since your big brother here let you have all those spiritual plants today, shouldn't you owe me a favor?" If she couldn't remember him as a person, surely she could remember a favor. That way, they wouldn't meet again only for her to have forgotten him entirely.

Si Han coaxed her with a gentle, smiling demeanor. To Su Qing, he looked exactly like someone trying to lure a child. No, it didn't just look like it—he was absolutely doing it!

Ji Tianxin looked at him, then nodded slowly and said indifferently, "Very well."
