Chapter 17: The Temple is Small, It Cannot Hold a Great Buddha!

Early morning.

Jiang Che's two paws rested lightly upon the soft mountain pile.

"Ding, lying flat on the Empress rewards you with one drop of true Kirin blood!"

Jiang Che, who was fast asleep while sprawled on top of Luo Shuiyan, gave a start and woke up instantly upon hearing the sound.

"Good heavens, it's actually that true Kirin blood again."

Jiang Che's eyes shone with excitement.

He had originally thought that since the system had given him one drop of this true Kirin blood, that was that.

After all, the Kirin is a Mythical-grade bloodline Spirit Beast, and its essence blood is extremely precious.

Yet he never expected it to be a recurring reward; he had obtained another drop in just these few days.

"Hehe, this Luo Shuiyan is truly worthy of being an Empress reborn; having her by my side, my fortune can increase quite a bit."

Jiang Che looked up and discovered that Luo Shuiyan was still fast asleep.

He touched her gently with his two small paws.

Then, Jiang Che swallowed his saliva and climbed down from Luo Shuiyan's body.

Without any delay, Jiang Che immediately began to fuse with this newly obtained drop of true Kirin blood.

He now understood that this world was not as peaceful as his previous life.

Although in this life, Jiang Che only wanted to lie flat, the prerequisite for being able to lie flat in a world like this was having sufficiently formidable strength.

Otherwise, the mere shockwaves from the battles of experts would likely be enough to send him to the Western Paradise.

As Jiang Che focused his mind, that drop of purple true Kirin blood floated in mid-air once again.

In an instant, the entire room turned purple, though it seemed that this was due to the system restricting the true Kirin blood.

Even though the pressure from this true Kirin blood was extremely formidable, Luo Shuiyan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was not awakened.

Seeing this, Jiang Che breathed a slight sigh of relief; if Luo Shuiyan were to wake up and see him fusing with the true Kirin blood, it would truly be a bit difficult to explain.

In mid-air, that drop of true Kirin blood, just like before, still showed a purple Kirin constantly roaring within the blood.

Even though it was only a single drop of blood.

That formidable pressure was enough to make all living things in the world kneel and submit!

The true Kirin blood rewarded by the system had no rejection phenomenon and directly fused into Jiang Che's body.

It instantly made the originally purple fur on Jiang Che's body seem to be dyed with a layer of gold.

The same surging blood energy as before coursed through Jiang Che's body.

That powerful Kirin bloodline continuously nourished his meridians and flesh.

It caused Jiang Che's body, which had already been greatly improved, to undergo a massive transformation once again.

His bones became tougher, his flesh became more refined, and his meridians were broadened several times over! And, as Jiang Che expected, the excruciating pain of refining the essence blood remained exactly the same.

Jiang Che only felt as if he were about to be torn to pieces.

Fortunately, with the system's blessing, this pain was fleeting; Jiang Che now understood what it meant to be in heaven one moment and hell the next.

The purple halo vanished, the entire room returned to tranquility, and Jiang Che returned to his original appearance.

Although his exterior had not changed, his interior had long since been reborn.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for leveling up; current level is 13."

Name: Jiang Che

Level: 13 (100/10000) Bloodline: Black Iron, Kirin (10%)

Skills: Netherworld Swift Step, Fear Eye, Kirin Step.

Spirit Treasure: Kirin Seal. Through observing the system panel.

Jiang Che discovered that a Kirin column had suddenly appeared after his bloodline.

"It seems to be because of this true Kirin blood; after refining two drops of true Kirin blood, the purity of the Kirin bloodline in my body has reached ten percent!"

Just two drops of true Kirin blood had already allowed Jiang Che to experience what it felt like to be reborn.

This couldn't help but make Jiang Che fantasize about how terrifying his strength would be if he could successfully activate the complete Kirin bloodline! Just then, Luo Shuiyan also woke up.

As Jiang Che's contractor, Luo Shuiyan vaguely sensed some changes.

"Xiaobai, your cultivation hasn't increased again, has it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che nodded and said nonchalantly, "Yeah, I slept very comfortably yesterday, so I just broke through." Luo Shuiyan:...

Luo Shuiyan no longer wanted to say anything envious.

In the past, it was others who envied her talent, but now it was her turn.

"Xiaobai, I plan to leave Jianghai!"

"We leave today!"

After breakfast, Luo Shuiyan suddenly spoke up.

For one, it was because a place like Jianghai was simply too small, and development was very limited.

For another, that Chen Zije of the Chen family was a ticking time bomb; who knew when he might actually come to cause trouble.

Although Luo Shuiyan did not hold Chen Zije in high regard, at her current stage, she did not have the strength to deal with the older experts of the Chen family.

Moreover, leaving Jianghai would make it more convenient for her to obtain some of the opportunities she knew of from her previous life.

Regarding this, Jiang Che naturally did not object.

To him, as long as he was with this future Empress, lying flat was the same wherever they were.

Of course, the prerequisite was that she had to take good care of him and not let him live a life of hardship.

Not long after, Luo Shuiyan packed her things, left the old house, and took Jiang Che to board a train heading to another city.

Watching the city scenery rapidly receding behind her, Luo Shuiyan clenched her fists.

"The Chen Family of Jianghai City!"

"When I return next time, the ones who should be afraid will be you!"

Withdrawing her gaze, Luo Shuiyan hurriedly sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Having lived a second life, she was not prepared to waste even a single bit of time.

As for Jiang Che, he was still sleeping in her arms.

Luo Shuiyan had long since become accustomed to this; if there were a day when Jiang Che was not lying on her, she feared she would be somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Not only that, if Jiang Che were hungry, Luo Shuiyan would personally help feed him, wipe his mouth, and groom the fur on his body.

There were many other Contracted Spirit Beasts in the carriage, and seeing this scene, they were all dumbfounded, their eyes filled with envy.

One must know that the relationship between a Spirit Beast and a Beast Tamer is actually unequal.

Like them, these Spirit Beasts are usually kept on a leash by their Beast Tamer and led away directly.

Some slightly larger Spirit Beasts must not only fight but also serve as mounts, being ridden under the feet of their Beast Tamer.

Let alone sleeping in a Beast Tamer's arms, they had never even seen or heard of being personally fed or having their mouths wiped by a Beast Tamer.

Beast compares to beast and dies of anger; the many Spirit Beasts in the carriage could not understand, as they were all Contracted Spirit Beasts, why was the gap so large?!...

Meanwhile, outside Luo Shuiyan's courtyard, a luxury car pulled up.

A young man dressed in designer brands stepped out of the car, followed closely by a massive, scarlet-red, variegated fierce tiger.

The person who arrived was none other than Chen Zijie, who had previously made a fool of himself at the academy, along with his Contracted Spirit Beast, the Scarlet Flame Tiger, and several lackeys.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated old house before him, a flash of ruthlessness crossed Chen Zijie's eyes.

There was not much time left until the academy assessment, and when that time came, he would be leaving Jianghai.

And Luo Shuiyan, the school beauty of the Beast-Taming Academy in Jianghai, had long been coveted by him; before leaving, he must take Luo Shuiyan down.

"Young Master, Luo Shuiyan is, after all, a genius highly valued by the academy; will coming directly to her door today be..."

One lackey hesitated slightly.

However, Chen Zijie let out a cold laugh.

"Luo Shuiyan has now contracted a Black Iron-grade Spirit Beast with zero combat power; she has long since become the joke of the academy!"

"A brainless woman like this is only fit to be trampled by this young master!"

However, after Chen Zijie aggressively kicked open the courtyard gate, there was no one inside.

"Search, search for her! You must find her!"

Chen Zijie was furious and frustrated.

He had never expected that Luo Shuiyan would leave so decisively.
