Chapter 569: Azure Fire Qilin

Ye Liuyun's divine sense was stronger than Wen Feng's, and he quickly discovered that Wen Feng was following him.

"We've already offended the Night Demon Sect; as for this Three Origins Sect, let's just forget it!"

Thinking this, Ye Liuyun put away Bai Hu, hid in the void, and paid no attention to him.

After Wen Feng lost Ye Liuyun's trail, wanting to pursue but unable to catch up, he could only dejectedly regroup with his fellow disciples.

They received a message from Senior Sister Xiao Mingyue telling them not to pursue Ye Liuyun.

Since Ye Liuyun could kill the Eternal Night Demon Emperor, it shows his soul is not weak; dealing with Wen Feng and his group should be even easier. So she didn't want to send them to their deaths.

"Senior Sister discovered a place in the Secret Realm that might have a treasure; she's calling us over. Let's go, for now we don't need to bother that brat—first go help Senior Sister. Once she finds the treasure, we'll all go catch that brat together!"

Wen Feng said this and then led everyone away directly to find their senior sister, Xiao Mingyue.

Ye Liuyun, however, had been heading east ever since entering the Secret Realm. Now, to shake off pursuit, he tried to avoid battle as much as possible. Whenever he sensed danger, he would take Bai Hu and directly hide in the void.

Just as he once again avoided danger and hid in the void, he unexpectedly discovered a cyan little qilin staring at him with big eyes.

Ye Liuyun was startled.

The fourth level of the void has always been empty.

"Where did this guy come from? How did it get into this void?"

What put Ye Liuyun on guard most was that he couldn't discern this little guy's cultivation level. Moreover, this cyan qilin was something he had never seen before.

Ye Liuyun and the cyan qilin stared at each other for a while, both feeling very curious.

Feeling that the little qilin had no ill intent, Ye Liuyun took out a piece of beast meat from his storage ring, hoping to lure it over for a closer look.

The little qilin first retreated warily, then sniffed the air, wagged its tail at him, lowered its front paws as if to pounce—but didn't actually leap. It just patted the ground, showing interest.

Then it opened its mouth, and with a "whoosh," the beast meat in Ye Liuyun's hand was ignited by a mass of cyan flame, quickly burning to ash.

Next, the little qilin inhaled, drawing all the smoke and ash into its body, then let out a satisfied belch.

"Little guy, you're pretty wary!" Ye Liuyun saw it wasn't fooled; although he found the creature interesting, he didn't want to waste more time playing with it.

So he waved at the little qilin, turned, and continued on his way.

Who would have thought, the little guy saw him leave and then followed him again.

Ye Liuyun thought it was hungry, so he took out an entire fierce beast and said to the little guy, "Eat your fill and hurry back; I have things to do, I can't keep you company!"

Seeing such a huge fierce beast, the little guy's eyes lit up. Using the same method, a mass of cyan fire burned it, then it inhaled the resulting flames.

Ye Liuyun had never seen such a way of eating before.

"Nothing left. Don't follow me anymore!"

Ye Liuyun said this and lifted his leg to walk again, but unexpectedly the cyan little qilin leapt ahead, blocking his path, and waved its two claws, gesturing something at him.

Ye Liuyun understood it had something to say, but after looking for a while he still didn't know what it was gesturing, leaving him bewildered.

The little guy also realized it had struggled to gesture for half a day while Ye Liuyun didn't understand, so it flopped down in disappointment onto the ground, its helpless expression almost making Ye Liuyun laugh.

So he directly used his divine sense to communicate with the little guy, asking what it wanted to say.

Only then did Ye Liuyun discover that the little guy's soul power seemed even stronger than his own. However, he couldn't detect any of the little guy's actual strength.

"What? You want to sign an equal contract with me to be my pet companion?"

The result of Ye Liuyun communicating with it via divine sense also shocked him. He secretly thought, "This little guy couldn't possibly have parents, could it? It's already this strong—if its parents knew it had become my pet, they'd probably incinerate me on the spot!"

Thinking of this, he first asked about the little guy's background.

However, the little guy was obviously crafty; it rolled its eyes and claimed it had been alone since birth, always staying in this Secret Realm.

Ye Liuyun knew it wasn't telling the truth and dared not casually sign any contract with it. Who knows what this sneaky thing might do—maybe dig a pit for him.

Unexpectedly, the little guy then used divine sense to send him two images: one of Liang Xue, and another a map of the entire Azure Heavens Secret Realm.

"Have you seen this woman? Where is she?" Upon seeing Liang Xue's image, Ye Liuyun immediately spoke up.

The little guy then made another set of gestures, realizing Ye Liuyun couldn't understand, so it began communicating with him via divine sense again.

"Fine, I'll sign an equal contract with you; you take me to find her."

Ye Liuyun immediately agreed this time. No matter what the little guy's intentions, he must find Liang Xue as soon as possible.

At that moment, he immediately signed an equal divine soul contract with the little qilin.

"Do you have a name?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

The little qilin waved its claws.

"Then I'll give you one; otherwise it'd be inconvenient to call you. How about Qing Lin?"

Upon hearing that, the little qilin showed a look of disdain, but reluctantly agreed in the end.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun almost laughed out loud. "This little guy's intelligence isn't low at all!"

After the two signed the contract, Ye Liuyun could instantly understand whatever the little guy gestured.

What the little guy gestured was: have Ye Liuyun bring out some more food; once it's full, it will take Ye Liuyun to find Liang Xue.

"You wouldn't sign a contract with me just to scam food and drink, would you?"

Ye Liuyun then threw out another fierce beast corpse, letting it burn completely and absorb it.

While absorbing, the little guy gestured to explain to Ye Liuyun, and finally stamped its two claws on the ground to show dissatisfaction.

"This guy is too sly. Don't look at its harmless appearance—it's actually more crafty and sly than Lei Ming; I'd better be careful with it!"

Ye Liuyun silently reminded himself.

It wasn't that he was overly cautious; rather, this Secret Realm had suddenly produced such a thing that actively sought an equal contract with him, so he had to be on guard.

He didn't believe this thing would follow him just for a bit of food. Given the little thing's cyan fire and soul strength, it hardly needed to worry about finding food.

As for what its true intentions are, further observation is still needed.

Ye Liuyun's divine soul contract with it was completed with the aid of the Ten Thousand Gods Command, so he also isn't afraid of this little thing playing tricks.
