Chapter 6 The Rare Beast

"Mistress, why did you save it?"

Ying flew to Duanmu Xi, her blue-grey eyes full of puzzlement.

Duanmu Xi looked at the snow wolf, her eyes glistening.

Why?

She didn't know either. She only knew that she didn't want to watch it die.

"Let's go and find a place to wash the clothes."

Duanmu Xi looked away and lowered her head to check her bloodstained white clothes with a frown.

"Mistress, let me take you to find water."

Ying flew ahead of her, trying to feel where the spiritual power of water was.

Shortly, they arrived at a thicket.

Duanmu Xi pushed aside the thicket which was much higher than her and then walked through it.

A small pool came to her view. Fog wreathed the pool as if it were veiled by the fine gauze. Besides, embellished by the blue light spots, it looked full of reiki.

Duanmu Xi walked over and stroked over the spring water with one hand.

It turned out to be a hot spring.

Feeling the strong spiritual power, Ying couldn't help flapping her wings with excitement.

"Mistress, the spring water is rich in reiki. I have a feeling that this place contains strong spiritual power. Why don't you take a bath here? Maybe it will be beneficial for healing your internal injury. I'll go out and keep watch for you."

Duanmu Xi took off her clothes and stepped into the spring.

"Emm..."

Duanmu Xi groaned in comfort.

The warm spring water dispelled her fatigue instantly. She could even feel that she was slowly recovering from her internal injury.

While Duanmu Xi bent over the edge of the hot spring drowsily, the spring water suddenly shook heavily.

Duanmu Xi was sober at once. Without hesitation, she rushed to the bank, grabbed her underwear and put it on.

At the same time, the spring water made an eddy in the middle and shook more heavily. Even the ground aside was shaking.

Duanmu Xi stared at the spiritual pool, her eyebrows knitted.

Ying, on watch outside, felt a rush of strong reiki fluctuation and then hastened to fly to the spiritual pool.

Meanwhile, the snow wolf that was handling its injuries nearby also sensed the abnormity and then rushed here too.

"Mistress, what's wrong? What strong spiritual power!"

Ying arrived here in a hurry and watched the eddy in the spring with astonishment.

"I don't know."

Duanmu Xi’s childish face was still expressionless with her purple eyes still staring at the eddy in the middle of the spring.

The snow wolf rushing nearby saw Duanmu Xi standing by the bank dressed in half-wet underwear. Its amber eyes were slightly glistening.

It was her again. She was as stunningly beautiful as an elf in the mountain.

The eddy in the spring grew bigger and bigger. With a splash, a monster got out of the eddy.

It had a dragon's head, a deer's body, an ox's tail, a horse's hooves, a fish's scales and a pair of light grey dragon's horns.

"Mistress, it's the water-property mythical creature, Water Qilin."

Upon seeing the monster that got out, Ying put on a stern face.

The snow wolf also had a glint of astonishment in its eyes.

Unexpectedly, a qilin was hidden in this uninhabited island. Was there really...

"You reckless human, how dare you contaminate my spiritual pool?"

A beam of water blue light swished toward Duanmu Xi with its shout.

Duanmu Xi only felt that a gust of strong spiritual power was going for her. Under the strong pressure, she couldn't move at all.

Bang. Duanmu Xi was thrown backward for tens of meters.

"Barf..."

Duanmu Xi groaned and vomited a mouthful of blood.

When the snow wolf saw that Duanmu Xi got injured, its amber eyes were ablaze with anger.

Darned. How dare it hurt her!

Bearing the great pain, Duanmu Xi covered her chest and stood up slowly.

She wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth and said nothing, only staring at Water Qilin coldly.

"Mistress, are you okay?"

Anxious and angry, Ying immediately flew to Water Qilin, pointing at Water Qilin with her hands on her hips and starting to curse.

"Who knows the pool is yours? Have you carved your name on it? Since you don't want others to come here, why don't you set up an enchantment around the pool?"

Seeing the angry elf in midair, Water Qilin was slightly startled.

An ancient mysterious elf?

It didn't expect to meet a mysterious elf that should have been extinct a few hundred million years ago here.

Legend had it that the mysterious elf was an ancient being that knew everything and had a lot of controlling skills conducive to battling.

"Humph. A total wreck without spiritual power has an extinct mysterious elf. Do I have dim eyesight?"

Water Qilin raised its eyebrows with an intrigued look.

Upon hearing the two words—total wreck, Ying had a glint of fury in her eyes and snorted.

"What kind of mythical creature you are! You are just like a frog at the bottom of a well only."

"A one-grade elf dares to act so arrogantly! Vast Water Explosion..."

Water Qilin also flew into a rage and directly raised its claw. Instantly, countless water blue light pillars went at Ying, as if about to drown her all over.

The moment the water blue light pillars were about to bump into Ying, Duanmu Xi rushed forward to block the light pillars.
