Chapter 1118: Is This the Qiongqi?

The moment Xiao Han came over, Gu Yanqi and Ning Chen noticed the creature in his hand.

How to put it—this tiny little thing, with a round little face, wide eyes bared and teeth showing, fluffy all over, a pair of little wings on its back, totally the type to hit a girl's weak spot.

"So, so cute!" Gu Yanqi leaned in close, looking at the little thing, her eyes practically shining.

The little creature also seemed to sense the girl's affection for it; it stopped baring its claws and fangs, and its big watery eyes glanced back at the girl as its tail wagged.

Being "tempted" like this, Gu Yanqi naturally couldn't resist the lure.

Just as Gu Yanqi was about to reach out and pet it, Ning Chen took a subtle step back, and Gu Yanqi's reaching hand missed entirely.

Ning Chen, who had been behind Gu Yanqi the whole time, quickly stepped forward and pulled Gu Yanqi into his embrace.

"Danger."

Gu Yanqi lifted her head, looking at Ning Chen with some confusion. She absolutely trusted his words without a doubt, but—could such a tiny little thing really be dangerous?

Lin Yi and Facing Huo Jinglin also walked over; looking at Ning Chen who had returned, the two of them were no less excited than Gu Yanqi.

God knew how anxious they had been watching the two of them disappear.

"Huh? Why is there still a little animal?"

After the pleasantries, Lin Yi shifted his attention to the little animal in Xiao Han's hand. Just like Gu Yanqi, he had zero resistance to this little cutie.

Facing Huo Jinglin at the side frowned tightly, looking the thing in Xiao Han's hand up and down.

"Is this... the Qiongqi that Brother Ning mentioned?"

At those words, Lin Yi looked at the little ball of fluff in Xiao Han's hand in disbelief. Compared to the one from before, the size difference was, well, more than a little significant.

Still, because of the previous psychological trauma, Lin Yi instinctively took a step back.

"This—is this really that big thing? The size doesn't match. Could it be that big thing's son?"

"What big thing, big thing—didn't you hear them? This great one is called Qiongqi! Qiong—Qi!"

Suddenly, the Qiongqi in Xiao Han's hand spoke, struggling to lunge at Lin Yi to teach this person who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth a little lesson.

Unfortunately, it was currently held in someone's hand and had absolutely no ability to resist.

"It—it—it, it talked?!" Lin Yi instantly crouched behind Xiao Han, only daring to peek out with one head to look at it.

Ning Chen hadn't expected this Qiongqi to be able to talk either. It looked intelligent, which made things much easier.

Ning Chen gave Xiao Han a look. Xiao Han understood and controlled numerous vines to wrap around the Qiongqi.

Making sure it neither hurt the Qiongqi nor let it break free.

Combined with the coverage of Ning Chen's light-type ability, the Qiongqi, which had already expended a great deal of energy, could be said to be a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Ning Chen glanced at the little Qiongqi, bound tight as could be with nothing showing except its wings and head, and stepped forward to take it from Xiao Han's hand.

Although she already knew that the thing in front of her was the giant monster from earlier, it was so small and cute now that Gu Yanqi simply couldn't help being tempted.

She glanced at the little Qiongqi from time to time, her hands itching terribly. Mmm~ that fur looks so soft, she really wanted to touch it.

Watching Gu Yanqi's little sidelong glances from time to time, Ning Chen found it rather amusing.

To satisfy his beloved's little whim, Ning Chen decided to toss the Qiongqi in his hand over.

But before tossing it, Ning Chen gave it a threat.

"You know, if she loses even a single hair, I'll strip your hide and hang it here to dry, so you'll never be able to return to your original world."

The Qiongqi indicated that it, one of the Four Great Fierce Beasts, how could it possibly be threatened.

But the warning and the thick scent of bloodlust emanating from Ning Chen made the little Qiongqi fully realize that if it didn't comply, it really might be skinned and have its tendons pulled out.

It was, after all, one of the Four Great Fierce Beasts! How could it be threatened like this.

The flexible little Qiongqi decisively nodded its head at top speed, and even tried hard to widen its eyes, indicating it posed no threat.

Seeing this, Ning Chen pinched the little Qiongqi's wing and held it out in front of Gu Yanqi.

"You can hold it, it's fine."

With Ning Chen's words, Gu Yanqi couldn't wait and took it.

Although what bound the little Qiongqi was vines, the surface was perfectly smooth, not prickly at all, and even a bit soft and squishy.

Gu Yanqi carefully held it, and couldn't help reaching out to pat its head.

It really was just as soft as she had imagined.

A girl's hands were fragrant and soft, and combined with Gu Yanqi's gentle movements, it formed a stark contrast to the roughness of Ning Chen and Xiao Han.

Under such an offensive, the little Qiongqi shamelessly stretched out its head, indicating it wanted more petting.

What was face? Its face was already long gone anyway. Better to be stroked by a sweet-smelling little girl—much more comfortable.

Bringing the little Qiongqi to the RV, Ning Chen decided to take a shower first. After all the fuss, his whole body felt terribly uncomfortable.

After finishing his shower and coming out, Ning Chen looked at the sofa area, where the Qiongqi was still enjoying Gu Yanqi's petting service.

Ning Chen raised an eyebrow. He felt like this little thing was suspected of trying to steal his spot.

Sitting down beside Gu Yanqi, Ning Chen reached out, grabbed the Qiongqi that was comfortably squinting its eyes, and tossed it onto the table.

Suddenly interrupted and then tossed aside, the little Qiongqi was absolutely furious. It glared at Ning Chen and started cursing.

"You—you—you, what are you doing, you human, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth..."

Ning Chen shot a look over, and the little Qiongqi immediately shut its mouth, as cowardly as could be.

Wuu wuu wuu, I've embarrassed the Four Great Fierce Beasts.

Xiao Han also took his clothes and went in to wash up. He washed very quickly—five minutes later he had changed and came out toweling his hair.

Ning Chen and Gu Yanqi sat across from the Qiongqi, Facing Huo Jinglin and Lin Yi sat behind it, and Xiao Han sat in the single seat beside them.

Being stared at by so many people at once, the little Qiongqi felt rather uneasy as a whole beast. These people's gazes—except for that little girl's—all seemed like they wanted to cut it into eight pieces.

In reality, Ning Chen and Xiao Han were thinking about what questions to ask it, while Facing Huo Jinglin and Lin Yi were curious about how such a huge monster had become this tiny.

Being stared at for so long, the little Qiongqi kind of wanted to curl up. Were modern humans really so, so shameless, insisting on staring at others?

Baby's upset, but baby's not saying.

Being a fierce beast and ending up like this is truly embarrassing. Good thing no other fierce beasts saw it—otherwise, if they saw that it couldn't even beat a single human, they'd probably die laughing.
