Chapter 431: Chapter 349: Don’t Want to Live Anymore (Double Monthly Tickets!) _1

In the deep of night, when Meng Qingfan’s consciousness hazily awakened, she found herself sprawled atop a pile of straw. It appeared she was in a stable, with a water trough and a fodder trough before her. The fodder trough was filled entirely with dried shrimp made from Hanyu Candle Shrimp.

After seeing this, she was enraged. Had the people of the Liudao Division mistaken her for a horse? Couldn’t they see? Her body was that of a Kylin, a Kylin! A Divine Beast!

But then Meng Qingfan thought it was strange. Hadn’t she been captured? At this moment, she was supposed to be locked inside the Demon Tower. Plus, where was this? Judging by the surrounding scenery, it didn’t seem like the strictly guarded Liudao Division.

Meng Qingfan concentrated and probed her surroundings for a while, then let out a scornful laugh: "Heart Controlling Contract?"

She knew that the Liudao Division wouldn’t just let her go. In the presence of this Heart Controlling Contract, they could keep tabs on her whereabouts and control her Divine Sense no matter where she was.

After her cold laughter, Meng Qingfan frowned, feeling the situation was somewhat tricky. This kind of Heart Controlling Contract couldn’t be broken unless the holder of the contract decided to lift it themselves. She would have to wait a few months for the Contract’s effect to weaken before she could have a chance to break free.

She stared at the dried shrimp in the fodder trough once more, torn and hesitant.

The hesitation was due to her humanistic personality; Meng Qingfan thought to herself, she was a person! How could she be treated like domesticated livestock? The hesitation stemmed from the fear that these dried shrimp had been tampered with.

But in the end, her animal instincts won out against her human characteristics, and Meng Qingfan started to eat the shrimp while contemplating her situation.

The biggest downside to her secret technique was revealed here. An ordinary beast would not behave like her, and Big demons would think rather similarly to humans.

But in her case, her animal instincts were particularly intense- though this wasn’t exactly an issue. Meng Qingfan’s mind and cultivation could suppress virtually all her animal instincts.

Except when it came to her favorite food, especially Hanyu Candle Shrimp. In such cases, her animal cravings would become extraordinarily aggressive, to the point of being uncontrollable.

Regret filled Meng Qingfan, who lamented that she had brought this misfortune upon herself.

Just then, as Meng Qingfan was chewing, she froze. Suddenly, the dried shrimp in her mouth didn’t seem so appetizing anymore.

That was because she had just recalled a scene - Li Xuan, giving her a hard smack on the bottom and then riding on her back.

Meng Qingfan collapsed to her knees, tears welling and streaming down her cheeks.

How could something like this have happened? How was she supposed to live from now on?

Being ridden like a mount was one thing, but how dare that man do such a thing to her in front of her senior brother?

Weren’t those Hanyu Candle Shrimp laced with laxatives harm enough?

Perhaps it would be better to die, to be done with everything once and for all.

With the Heart Controlling Contract present, Meng Qingfan concluded that she wouldn’t be able to end her own life. She could only wait for her Primordial Spirit to wither and fade away.

Meng Qingfan’s mindset was bleak, like deadwood and cold ashes, when she heard the noise of a door being opened. From a distant building, a figure she knew all too well, a figure that had become seared into her memory, emerged, yawning.

Li Xuan?

Meng Qingfan’s pupils instantly dilated, rage flared in her eyes, and her fighting spirit surged.

Blighted existence! Meng Qingfan, you must slaughter this troublemaker! Before you die, you must drag this root of all evil down to Hell with you!

"Still thinking about dying? Is there ever going to be an end to this?"

While speaking, Li Xuan walked towards the Kylin with a helpless expression on his face.

The Heart Controlling Contract held a special sealing spell; if the vitality of this Demon Kylin started deteriorating, a jade talisman would send an alert to him, the temporary master.

"True Lord Lingyou said you should be less than two hundred years old, you’re only a step away from the heavenly level and will step over soon.

For divine beasts of the heavenly level like you with pure blood, your lifespan should be at least one thousand years. There are still many years ahead for you to live. So why are you obsessed with dying? In this vast world, where is no place worth staying? How much have you experienced after all?"

At that moment, Li Xuan spotted the emptied fodder trough. He chuckled wryly, then took out a big pile of dried shrimp from his Sumi Ring and tossed them in: "This is all I can give you for today, there won’t be any more."

It was only then that Meng Qingfan understood that unbeknownst to her, during her melancholic state, she had consumed all the Hanyu Candle Shrimp from the trough.

Meng Qingfan couldn’t help but blush, wishing she could bang her head on the ground while internally asking herself if she could retain any dignity at all?

It was all because of Li Xuan, the evil instigator. She glared fiercely at Li Xuan while doing her utmost to resist the temptation of the shrimp.

Li Xuan saw the Kylin staring at him angrily and misunderstood her intentions: "I really can’t give you any more. I actually borrowed thirty thousand teals of patterned silver from Luo Yan to pre-order a lot of dried shrimp, many delicious meats, and a variety of dried vegetables processed by taoist techniques, enough for you to eat for several months."

"But Qianqian told me that your vitality has just suffered great damage, so you should eat less meat in the next few days. My debts to Luo Yan have already piled up to almost two hundred thousand teals. I’m about to spend all of the bounty I got from killing Li Zhetian and still owing debt. When can I retire from living off of others? How disgraceful."

The problem was that the Liudao Division believed he served the Kylin food too finely, and they only agreed to reimburse sixty percent of his food expenses.

Then, because he didn’t want this divine beast to be mixed up with other Earth Dragons, Dragon Colts etc., he spent an additional three thousand teals of patterned silver to build a luxury stable in his own yard.

At this point, Li Xuan placed his hand on the forehead of the Demon Kylin and began to probe with his Divine Sense.

Meng Qingfan’s entire body soon radiated with the glow of purity, and the purple air of righteousness subsequently filled the outside of her body.

As the righteous airs of the two sides resonated with each other, a golden symbol began to appear on the forehead of this Kylin, upon which the words ’Wen Shan’ clearly stood.

Li Xuan also sensed the Wenshan Seal buried in the so-called ’glabella’ - the space between the Kylin’s eyes, which was firmly rooted there, spreading innumerous golden paths, linking the limbs and meridians of this Demon Qilin, even its Primordial Spirit.

This Seal apparently seemed to have taken on the role of the Demon Core.

At this point, Li Xuan could remove the Wenshan Seal from within the body of the Demon Qilin. However, he faintly felt that this wasn’t necessarily good news, and the Artifact Spirit of Wenshan Seal itself seemed to be resisting.

He vaguely sensed that the Artifact Spirit of this Wenshan Seal had done something to this Kylin, something beneficial for both the seal itself and the Kylin.

The key was that it did not affect his use of the Wenshan Seal.

Li Xuan had already tested it. As long as this Kylin was within a ten-mile radius of him, he could use it as he wished. It could enhance his Broad and Righteous Intent and gather Qi from all living beings just like before.

Beyond this, there was an additional benefit—

As Li Xuan’s thoughts guide, a stream of purple righteousness Qi not belonging to him were forcibly drawn onto him. This Qi was full-bodied, equivalent to the third-ranked Confucian scholar’s. It was extremely pure, almost on par with the realm superior to the legendary ’Purple air comes from the East’ one declining.

The key was that he could summon this Qi at will and disperse it at will, without needing the recognition permission of others.

Meanwhile, Meng Qingfan’s gaze was dull, as she was shocked and muted by the scenario within her body.

She felt clearly that the inscriptions the Book of Jinque imposed on her body, the restrictions, were bit by bit corroded, and replaced by the golden paths radiated by the Wenshan Seal!

This process was nearing its final stage.

Of even greater surprise to Meng Qingfan was the change in nature within her body.

The ultimate purity of the Qi and that truly flawless Liuli Pure Body, just like mutton-fat jade.

Impossible!

An incredulous look emerged in Meng Qingfan’s eyes.

Could this be... a Jade Qilin?

The legendary Kylins born in the old era were all Jade Kylins, their physical forms and Primordial Spirits were pure and flawless, spiritually connected to heaven and earth, hence their extraordinary strength.

They represented the Heavenly Dao, the true auspicious beasts. They were a symbol of a flourishing dynasty, the followers of the saints.

But in the present gradually turbid world, how could a Jade Qilin possibly be born?

A long time ago, when a Kylin was born, its color would be muddled by the turbid qi of the world, resulting in the birth of various variant Kylins such as Fire Kylin, Thunder Kylin, and so on.

Li Xuan had already retracted his hand, then he found this beast was still gazing at him. Ah Li Xuan helplessly pulled out a lot of dried shrimps and filled the feed trough.

"Alright! Alright! Just give it a little more. After eating, just have a good sleep."

While saying this, Li Xuan gave a heavy pat on the Demon Qilin’s buttocks. For some reason, he quite liked its elasticity.

But Meng Qingfan’s eyes changed dramatically, and she looked at Li Xuan like a beast choosing its prey, instinctively wanting to bite him.

However, she soon found that she could no longer control her body, her consciousness was gradually being attracted by the dried shrimps in the feed trough.

Li Xuan had given her too much this time, so much so that the beast-like consciousness within Meng Qingfan began to wake up again.

Meng Qingfan sensed that something was wrong, she realized this was the consequence of her letting her beast-like consciousness expand in her despair before, allowing it to inflate, grow stronger, and even start to become the main consciousness.

Meng Qingfan tried her best to resist, but her consciousness was gradually becoming dim and obscure and finally blank.

"Get a grip on yourself, you are almost at the heavenly level, how can your will be this weak? So what if you were seen having diarrhea by others? You’re a big demon, why do you care about what others think?

Honestly, I’m also pretty busy. That old bastard Left deputy Venerable, he won’t let me rest, he wants to exhaust me to death. You saw how busy I’ve been these past few days, I don’t really have time to console you—"

Just as Li Xuan was saying this, he suddenly frowned and looked towards the door.

Outside, there was a sudden rush of hooves, and that courtyard door was soon violently pushed open. Su Zhaojun walked briskly into the room, with the wind at her heels.

"Where’s Li Xuan? Where is he?"

Her question was directed at Li Sihai, the housekeeper who had followed her in, but Su Zhaojun’s gaze soon captured Li Xuan, who was standing inside the stable.

Su Zhaojun immediately arched her eyebrows: "Xuan, something has happened to Yurou."
