At this moment, Duan Lingtian could feel the helplessness in Han Xuenai's tone.
However, he still nodded solemnly in response to Han Xuenai's words. "Don't worry, Xue Nai. I'll definitely let you see a brand new me the next time we meet. "
"Mm."
Xue Nai nodded. The gloominess on her face was swept away, and she regained her optimistic smile.
However, she soon sighed again and looked at Duan Lingtian. She wanted to say something but hesitated. "Brother Ling Tian, Little Black and Little White …"
At this moment, how could Duan Lingtian not understand the meaning of Han Xuenai's words?
His gaze fell on the two little pythons in Han Xuenai's hands, and he was somewhat reluctant to part with them.
Little Black and Little White had been with him since birth. Although they had left for a few years, their relationship with him was still very deep.
And Duan Lingtian had always treated them as family.
"Hiss hiss ~ ~"
The two little pythons seemed to have realized something. They flicked their tongues in annoyance and kept swinging their tails.
The next moment.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two bolts of lightning, one black and one white, flashed out from Han Xuenai's hands, streaked across the sky, and coiled around Duan Lingtian's hands.
"Brother, I don't want to leave. I want to stay by your side."
"Brother, I don't want to leave with Sister Xue Nai. I want to follow you. I miss Sister Kerr and Li Fei."
The two little pythons' voice transmissions entered Duan Lingtian's ears in a timely manner.
At this moment, Duan Lingtian only felt warmth in his heart.
Originally, the two little pythons had left him for many years, and there was an invisible distance between them.
At least, that was the case on Duan Lingtian's side.
But now, the two little pythons' actions made Duan Lingtian feel warmth, and that trace of distance in his heart disappeared without a trace.
"Sister Xue Nai, I want to stay by Brother's side."
"Sister Xue Nai, I don't want to leave Brother again."
Han Xuenai, who was standing far away, had a complicated look in her eyes when she heard the voice transmissions from the two little pythons.
In the past few years, although she had been with the two little pythons day and night, the hearts of the two little pythons were obviously not on her side.
This made her feel both helpless and bitter.
"Brother Ling Tian."
Han Xuenai looked at Duan Lingtian and sighed. "Since Little Black and Little White want to stay by your side, I won't take them with me this time."
Just as Duan Lingtian was about to say something, Duan Lingtian suddenly opened his mouth.
Whoosh!
It was as if a gust of wind blew past.
The green-robed old woman who had been standing in the distance suddenly appeared behind Han Xuenai. She looked at Duan Lingtian and said in a hoarse voice, "These two little fellows are descendants of mutated holy beasts …"
"In terms of natural talent, they aren't the slightest bit inferior to the Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse on your shoulder."
The green-robed old woman was precisely Qing Nu who was by Han Xuenai's side, and she was currently looking at the little gold mouse on Duan Lingtian's shoulder as she spoke slowly.
Descendants of mutated holy beasts?
Duan Lingtian looked at Little Black and Little White with an astounded expression.
He was extremely clear about Little Black and Little White's background.
They were the children of two ferocious beast pythons, how could they possibly be related to a holy beast …?
"Senior, have you made a mistake?"
When he thought up to here, Duan Lingtian looked at Qing Nu and asked.
At the same time, he spoke of the origins of the two little fellows one by one.
Descendants of two ferocious beast pythons?
Qing Nu hadn't said anything when Han Xuenai had already exclaimed in shock. "Brother Ling Tian, you said Little Black and Little White are the children of two ordinary ferocious beasts?"
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. "At that time, it was I who personally brought them back home before they were hatched. Moreover, their appearance after they were born had once puzzled me … Because they didn't look like their mother, nor did they look like their father. "
"This isn't difficult to understand."
Qing Nu spoke once more, and her voice was still hoarse.
Instantly, the gazes of Duan Lingtian and Han Xuenai were successfully attracted by Qing Nu.
Qing Nu continued. "The so-called mutated holy beast descendants are different from ordinary holy beast descendants. The descendants of ordinary Sacred Beasts, such as this Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse, could inherit the bloodline inheritance of the Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse clan through its mother … However, the descendants of mutated Sacred Beasts could rarely inherit the bloodline inheritance. It was more random. Just like these two little fellows. "
Duan Lingtian seemed to be lost in thought when he heard what Qing Nu said.
These things weren't present in the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu.
"Speak frankly if you have something to say."
In the end, Duan Lingtian returned to his senses and looked at Qing Nu.
He was able to discern.
What Qing Nu said earlier was intentional, and she was obviously paving the way for something.
Qing Nu's originally dim eyes abruptly lit up as she glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian and said, "No matter if it's a mutated holy beast descendant or an ordinary holy beast descendant, their potential is extremely enormous … If you're doing it for their own good, then you should give them a better future and allow them to become Demon Emperors in the shortest amount of time."
"Hiss hiss ~"
As soon as Qing Nu finished speaking, the two little pythons that coiled around Duan Lingtian's hand became restless and ceaselessly flicked their tongues.
Obviously, they heard what Qing Nu said and were displeased.
"Hmph! Didn't you say so much because you want us to go with you? I won't go with you … I want to follow Big Brother Ling Tian. "
The little gold mouse stood on Duan Lingtian's shoulder as she bared her fangs and brandished her claws at Qing Nu.
"Little fellow, you're smart … Being able to speak in the human tongue at the Void Initiation Stage has completely broken the common sense of ordinary demon beasts. Looks like I've still underestimated you. "
Qing Nu looked at the little gold mouse and a slightly surprised expression appeared on her face. Obviously, she was shocked by the little gold mouse's sudden words.
"Squeak squeak ~"
The little gold mouse raised her head complacently and cried out twice when she heard Qing Nu.
At the same time, the little gold mouse looked at the two little pythons. "You two idiots that don't know how to speak, both of you … Are you going to follow Big Brother Ling Tian like before, or continue following Big Sister Xue Nai and this old woman?"
Old woman?
The little gold mouse's words caused the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth to be unable to refrain from twitching.
Little Gold called this expert that's suspected to be at the Void Transformation Stage an old woman?
If it was another existence like this, Duan Lingtian would have been burning with anxiety since long ago.
Now, he was able to maintain his composure.
After all, this existence that's suspected to be at the Void Transformation Stage or above before him was someone by Xue Nai's side.
He believed that Xue Nai wouldn't allow her to act rashly.
In next to no time, Duan Lingtian saw it again.
Qing Nu wasn't angered in the slightest by the little gold mouse's rude words, and her expression was calm like an ancient well without the slightest ripple.
Perhaps, in Qing Nu's eyes, the little gold mouse was only a child, and a child's words carried no harm, so she didn't have to fuss about it.
"Hiss hiss ~"
The little gold mouse's words didn't enrage Qing Nu, but instead enraged the two little pythons, causing the two little pythons to glare angrily at the little gold mouse.
In next to no time, they made their stand clear.
They followed Duan Lingtian.
"Of course, it's fine if you insist on keeping them by your side."
Qing Nu added.
Duan Lingtian glanced indifferently at Qing Nu. "I wonder what's the better future you speak of?"
Qing Nu didn't hesitate and said directly, "Let go and allow them to return to their wild nature … Demon beasts are only able to stimulate their entire potential and break through their limits under the most adverse circumstances!"
"With their natural talent, so long as they experience sufficient tempering, it isn't impossible for them to transform into true Saint Beasts."
Transform into true Saint Beasts?
Duan Lingtian's heart trembled.
Even though he didn't know what the Saint Beasts Qing Nu spoke of were, as there was no record of them in the memories of Samsara Emperor Wu.
But since the Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse was only a descendant of a Saint Beast, the terror of a true Saint Beast could be seen from this.
The descendants of Saint Beasts were all Demon Emperors when they matured to the limit.
Then what about true Saint Beasts?
It was unimaginable.
"You have a way to help them?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Qing Nu and asked with a low voice.
Even though he was extremely reluctant to part with the three little fellows.
But if the three little fellows were really able to have a better future, then he would absolutely not ask the three little fellows to stay by his side.
He took the three little fellows to be his family, so he naturally hoped that the three little fellows would be able to have the best future.
Duan Lingtian's concern for the three little fellows was no different than a father's concern for his child.
It was all for the sake of the latter.
"I know of a place that's suitable for them … But, the time required is slightly long."
Qing Nu said, "At least seven or eight years, and at most 10 or 20 years."
Seven or eight years?
10 or 20 years?
Duan Lingtian's face went slightly pale, as he never expected that it would take so long.
"Qing Nu."
Han Xuenai who'd been silent all along finally spoke, and her expression was extremely heavy. "You want to send Little Gold, Little Black, and Little White to that place? You're crazy! "
As she finished speaking, Han Xuenai was like a she-wolf protecting her cubs. "They're still young, they're only children!"
Duan Lingtian was stunned.
After knowing Xue Nai for so long, it was still the first time he'd seen Xue Nai lose her composure like this.
He could guess that the vile environment Qing Nu spoke of was an extremely terrifying place.
At least, even a Void Interpretation Stage martial artist like Han Xuenai would go pale when talking about it.
"Young Miss."
Qing Nu sighed. "Even though they're young, they possess extraordinary bloodlines that are far from what ordinary demon beasts can compare to … You ought to know that if they're able to come out from there, they'll surely be able to obtain extremely great benefits, and even have a profound influence."
Han Xuenai went silent for a moment when she heard this.
She naturally knew that what Qing Nu said was true.
Not to mention others, just Qing Nu was an existence that had once come out from that place.
Whereas the current Qing Nu's cultivation had long since far exceeded the limits of what her natural talent could attain.
It could be said that Qing Nu had been changed precisely by that place.
That place was hell to 90% or more of the demon beasts that entered it.
But to the remaining less than 10% of the demon beasts, it was heaven.
Heaven, hell, a fine line between life and death, and one would become a true expert.
"Xue Nai, is that place really so good?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Han Xuenai as he asked.
"Big Brother Ling Tian."
Han Xuenai laughed bitterly. "I can only say … The demon beasts that enter that place can be said to have a slim chance of surviving. Whereas those that are able to survive are all existences with peerless natural talent and extraordinary strength. "
"That place is indeed the best touchstone for demon beasts … But the risks within it can't be underestimated."
