On top of the stone, Ling Xian's eyes were tightly shut and he was unmoving.
His face was pale and his breathing was weak. Like a candle in the wind, he could be extinguished at any moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xian slowly regained consciousness. Then, he felt an excruciating pain. It was as if thousands of needles were poking into his body. Even with his strong mentality, the pain made him gasp.
After a long while, Ling Xian finally got used to the pain and was able to think. Then, he looked around and checked out the furniture in the room.
The furniture in the room was very simple. Other than the stone bed he was sitting on, there was only a dressing table. It was obvious that it was used by a woman.
"A woman's room …"
Ling Xian squinted his eyes, realizing that someone saved him.
Then, he shifted his gaze to his storage pouch. Seeing that it was hanging on his waist, he sighed in relief.
The storage pouch was still there, proving that the person who saved him had no ill intentions. Naturally, he relaxed a little.
Ling Xian checked his own body and couldn't help but to bitterly chuckle.
This was far too serious. His physical body was about to collapse. If it weren't for the protection of his majestic blood, he would've disintegrated by now.
His soul, just like his physical body, was about to crumble. If Ling Xian didn't have the seven-colored enlivener, he would've disappeared a long time ago.
Injuries like these were extremely serious. Even if he ate spiritual Dans every day, he would not be able to recover in a short period of time.
"This is tragic …"
Ling Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly. Even moving was difficult.
This was far too serious. Without exaggerating, he was a handicap right now. Even a meditational leveled cultivator could kill him.
"Luckily, the person who saved me had no ill intentions …"
Ling Xian exhaled deeply and felt extremely lucky.
Not only because someone saved him, but also because he successfully arrived at the foreign land.
Though he didn't know where he was, Ling Xian determined through the spiritual energy that he was in the foreign land.
"You are awake."
A clear and melodious voice rang out. The young girl's faint smile was warm and gentle. Especially under the illumination of the sun, it was even more beautiful and moving.
This made Ling Xian lose focus for a second. Then, he smiled, "Little girl, did you save me?"
"Little girl?"
The young girl frowned and said, "You should call me master."
Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head, thinking the girl was joking.
Therefore, he ignored it and said, "Thank you for saving me."
"I am your master. Saving you is a matter of course. There is no need to thank me." The young girl smiled faintly. Her limpid eyes flickered with joy.
"Could it be that the rule here is that whoever you save is the master?" Ling Xian shook his head and laughed.
"There is no such rule, but I am indeed your master." The young girl's smile faded.
"What do you mean?"
Ling Xian frowned, realizing that the girl was not joking.
"I've already signed a contract with you, so of course I'm your master."
The girl frowned and briefly explained the situation.
This stunned Ling Xian. His brain went blank.
A humanoid Primordial Divine Beast?
Sign a contract?
What was going on?
Ling Xian was going crazy. Not even in his dreams did he think that he would become the young girl's summoned beast. This was far too strange.
"Let's get to know each other officially."
The girl stretched out her hand and smiled. "I'm Qing Wan, you're Da Li."
"Dali?"
Ling Xian continued to be stunned, "Shouldn't you be asking me what my name is?"
"I don't care what your name was before."
Qing Wan grinned, "You are now my Qi beast. I have the right to give you a new name."
Give my sister!
Ling Xian's face darkened, "Wait a minute. Let me calm down."
"I know it's hard for you to accept. But this is an unchangeable reality."
"Perhaps I am not talented enough, nor am I capable enough, so I don't deserve you."
"But I believe that one day, I will be able to shine brightly!"
"Of course, I cannot do without your help. So I hope you can work with me."
Qing Wan stared at Ling Xian with a heated gaze. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't know what an Qi beast was, but he felt the invisible chains that wrapped around his soul. Or in other words, a contract.
This wasn't a technique, nor was it a curse. It was an evolution of laws.
No matter what it was, whether it was a treasure or a technique, as long as it touched on laws, it would be an undefeatable existence.
To break the laws, one must be above the laws. But this was far too difficult. Even an undefeatable immortal may not be able to do it.
Therefore, Ling Xian shook his head with a bitter smile. He was about to go crazy.
After cultivating for so many years, countless people wanted to take him as a servant. But no matter if they were demons or powerhouses, none of them succeeded.
Yet now, he was the summoned beast of a foundational cultivator. Why wouldn't he go crazy? Only after a long while did Ling Xian calm down. He pointed at himself, then pointed at the girl, "In other words, I am your summoned beast?"
"No, you are an Qi beast," Qing Wan corrected.
"What's the difference?" Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Yes, the word Qi sounds more majestic." Qing Wan thought about it and said in a serious tone.
"Okay, it does sound more majestic. But is that the point?"
"I am a human, okay? I am a human just like you!"
Ling Xian was furious and didn't know what to say.
"Don't lie to me. I know you are a humanoid Qi beast. The strongest and most special Qi beast in the world." Qing Wan smiled brightly. Her eyes flickered with admiration.
"I am not a Qi beast …" Ling Xian was weak and too lazy to explain.
He finally understood that no matter what he says, the girl will not believe him. Instead of wasting his breath, he might as well think of a way to break the lock.
"Don't argue. Don't worry, I will treat you well."
Qing Wan said in a serious tone, "Of course, you have to be good. If you cause trouble, I will not forgive you."
As she spoke, she waved her fist, but she looked cute and innocent, without the slightest bit of deterrence.
"I am already like this. Do I have the ability to cause trouble?"
Ling Xian was helpless. He had never felt so helpless before.
The laws were undefeatable. Even an undefeatable immortal may not be able to break them, let alone him.
In other words, he will be under the control of this girl for the rest of his life.
"Though I have not dominated half my life, I have lived a free and unfettered life for many years. I cannot believe that one day, I will be under someone's control …"
Ling Xian softly sighed and asked, "The Qi beast you speak of, what is it?"
"You don't know?"
Qing Wan looked at Ling Xian strangely. It was as if she was saying, as a humanoid Qi beast, you don't know what a Qi beast is? Are you out of your mind?
"I told you, I am a human."
Ling Xian said helplessly, "Oh well, tell me what a Qi beast is."
"Qi beasts are one of the strongest forces in this world. There are two types of them."
"One is the soul of a beast. If you absorb it into your body, you can acquire the beast's natural talent."
"The other type is the soul of a powerful cultivator. It can only be passed down to descendants. Others cannot absorb it."
"Compared to the soul of a beast, the soul of a powerful cultivator is without a doubt, more powerful. However, legend has it that only those of the ninth level can give their souls special powers."
Qing Wan's simple introduction made Ling Xian frown.
