【Law of the Abyss】

The oil lamp on the boat emitted its last ray of light and then suddenly went out.

Mu Bei and Feng Yelan were sent out by the boat and were already standing steadily outside the library. The library in front of them was magnificent and towering, giving people a solemn and dignified feeling.

Mu Bei took one last look at it and left.

"I don't care. You didn't find the book. I've tried my best. Next time if you want to go, just go by yourself. Oh, I forgot to tell you that each person can only go into the library once a month. If you want to go in, you can only wait until next month. I don't know if you will have that chance again."

Mu Bei's face was calm, "Thank you."

"Who wants you to thank me? I only brought you here for my father's sake."

"Yes, then thank you, Uncle Feng. Please help me talk to him."

"Tsk, who's going to help you? If you want to thank you, why don't you go there in person? How rude!"

Mu Bei shook his head and sighed. This young lady is really...

Feng Yelan left and Mu Bei returned to his room. As soon as he entered, he heard a bang and something fell off his body.

"Phew, I'm dying of suffocation."

"Who?" There was no one in the room. There was a square box lying on the ground. Mu Bei picked it up and saw that it was the box he had been looking for but couldn't find. How did it suddenly appear again?

"Hey, you're such a slow person, why don't you open it quickly?" The long-lost voice sounded in his mind again.

Mu Bei carefully observed the box in his hand. The box had an ancient shape and was dark black in color. There were strange words and symbols on the box that he could not understand. What was even stranger was that the whole box was seamlessly integrated without any gaps. How could he open it?

He couldn't help but speak his mind.

"It's very simple. Do you have a knife?"

"Knife? What are you doing with that?"

"It's okay if you don't have any. Just bite your finger and drop a drop of blood on it."

"Drop blood to recognize the master?" Mu Bei thought subconsciously. He didn't expect to encounter this classic plot in fantasy novels.

"What master are you recognizing? You're thinking too much. Just open it and do as I say."

Isn't it a blood oath? Then why do you need his blood? Could this be some evil thing?

"Come on, can you think of something positive? I am an evil creature? Then the world would have ended long ago. Have you ever seen an evil creature that likes to talk nonsense like this?"

Mu Bei wanted to laugh when he heard it, but he quickly realized that something was wrong. He didn't say that at all, so how could the other party hear it?

"Alas, you are transparent in front of me. Our cognition is not at the same level. With your current ability, you will never understand it. Be simple and obedient! Hurry up! Otherwise, I will do it myself!"

Ah! Mu Bei's fingertips trembled, as if he was pricked by something, and bright red blood oozed out from his fingertips and dripped onto the box.

The box emitted a dazzling green light, which twisted and deformed, and an oval pattern appeared in the middle. Red blood slowly flowed in and gathered at the center of the oval. The oval moved, and the next second it turned into an eye, staring straight at Mu Bei.

He blinked and heard a loud bang. The box split in the middle and a small emerald green dragon lay quietly inside.

"You are so slow." Qinglong spoke, and his voice was exactly the same as the voice in Mu Bei's mind.

"Are you Qinglong?"

The little green dragon suddenly jumped into Mu Bei's palm, and its tail naturally hooked around his thumb.

"Wrong, I am the law."

"Laws?" Mu Bei was puzzled.

"Yes, you are lucky. I like you. Are you willing to be my little brother? I will protect you."

Huh? It's so sudden.

Mu Bei's palms felt itchy and he couldn't help moving. The little green dragon's tail swept across his fingers, and it changed its position and lay directly in the palm of his hand, like a perfect figurine.

"Hey, you haven't answered me yet, will you be my little brother or not?"

"Uh... no." Mu Bei said honestly. He didn't want to be anyone's younger brother. Why should he be someone else's younger brother? Couldn't he be the older brother?

The little green dragon rolled over in his palm, sat up, tilted its little head, and looked at him carefully. Its black eyes were like the dark seabed, unfathomable.

"That's right. A younger brother who doesn't want to be the big brother is not a good younger brother."

Mu Bei laughed again. This Qinglong's words were really childish.

"Hey, don't laugh. I'm serious. How about I be your little brother? I don't ask for much. I just want to have enough food and drink every day."

"But I can't keep a dragon in my current situation." After all, he is also living under someone else's roof, so how can he just keep a pet?

The little green dragon jumped up and stamped his feet fiercely: "I told you, I'm not a dragon! Not a dragon! I'm the law! The law!"

"Okay, don't be angry, you are the law, can you tell me what the law is?"

"The law is the law. You don't need to know what it is, you just need to know that it is the law."

This... is totally uncommunicative.

Xiao Qinglong got angry, ignored him with a stern face, turned around, and disappeared on the spot.

"I forgot to tell you that if your Eye of the Abyss doesn't find its natal soul beast as soon as possible, you probably won't survive."

"How do you know?" Mu Bei was surprised. He had not told anyone that he possessed the Eye of the Abyss, so how could this little green dragon know that?

"Ah, because I am the law, in the abyss, everything operates under the law, so there is nothing I don't know."

"What about the natal soul beast you just mentioned? How can I find it?"

There was no response and the voice disappeared again.

Xiao Qinglong's words made him half-believing and half-doubting. To be on the safe side, he decided to believe it. He needed to know more information about this world, but he had just arrived at the Feng family and didn't know many people. Most of the people he knew didn't like him. Who should he look for?

Just when he was in distress, someone came to see him.

There was a knock on the door. When Mu Bei opened the door, he saw Qin Changqing standing at the door. "Mu Bei, it really is you!"

Qin Changqing was a little bit unconvinced to see him here, "It's me, don't stand outside, come in and sit down."

Qin Changqing followed him in, and the two chatted for a while in the house. Mu Bei then realized that Qin Changqing was going to leave Feng's house. He heard from Feng Yixing that he lived here, so he wanted to leave and come to see him.

"Leaving, where are you going?" Mu Bei asked.

"go home."

"Why do you want to go back? Doesn't the Feng family treat you well?"

Qin Changqing smiled bitterly, "No, the Feng family is very good. It's my fault for wasting their energy and resources."

Mu Bei remembered that during the trial, he once told him that he didn’t know how to practice. Could it be because of this reason?

"I don't know how to put it. Anyway, you have to believe that there is more than one way to go in life. If this road is blocked, just change to another one. The important thing is that you don't lose the courage to move forward."

Qin Changqing was a little surprised, his eyes were wet.

Mu Bei hurriedly explained: "Hey, did I say something wrong and make you feel uncomfortable? But this is my true thought."

"No, you are right. I shouldn't be discouraged. Thank you for your encouragement." Qin Changqing expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that he was in a better mood, Mu Bei also felt happy. He thought of something, took out the black stone that Qin Changqing gave him last time, put it in his palm, and asked him.

"What is this? Why did you give me this?"

Qin Changqing picked up the black stone and said, "It's called stone armor, a small insect that can be sold for a lot of money. I thought you were short of money, so..." He was a little embarrassed to continue.

"Oh my god, this thing can still be sold? I thought it was a stone, haha, so funny!"

"Yeah, stone armor is quite popular in the Blackbird market."

"What is the black bird market?" Mu Bei felt like a sponge absorbing water, absorbing all the water from Qin Changqing alone.

"The blackbird is a strange beast that comes from the center of the abyss. It is very powerful. Even after death, its bones will not turn into dust. A special magnetic field will be generated around it. If you stay in it for a long time, your body will undergo strange changes. The Blackbird Market is a market built on the bones of dead blackbirds. It is the only one in Yanji."

"Where is it? It sounds interesting." Mu Bei became interested in this black bird market and kept asking Qin Changqing questions.

Seeing him like this, Qin Changqing simply said, "Why don't I take you there? It happens that I haven't been there for a long time."
