Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

"You..." After learning that the Dark Night Golden Tiger could understand, Lin Xinze asked cautiously, "You, could you please not hurt Grandpa Dongfang?"

"That old man?" Dark Night Golden Tiger stared intently at Lin Xinze: "That old man attacked me first."

"I... then I'll ask Grandpa Dongfang to stop hitting him." Lin Xinze blinked and whispered, "Will you stop hitting Grandpa Dongfang this way?"

The Dark Night Golden Tiger didn't answer, but moved closer to Lin Xinze: "You are human, so we shouldn't be able to communicate. But I can understand what you say, and you can understand what I say. I don't know why, but it means we are destined to meet. I can agree to your request, but I have one condition."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xinze immediately said, "As long as you don't hurt Grandpa Dongfang, I'll agree to any condition you set!"

"Really?" Dark Night Golden Tiger's voice held a hint of joy.

Lin Xinze glanced back at Ling Yi, his dark eyes filled with reluctance, but... but Grandpa Dongfang had been very good to him, and he didn't want Grandpa Dongfang to die.

Lingyi met those dark, bright eyes and saw the reluctance in them, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Why are you acting like it's a life-or-death situation?

Could he think that the Dark Night Golden Tiger is going to eat him?

If the tiger really wanted to eat him, why bother talking to him?

"Really?" Lin Xinze turned around and looked at Dark Night Golden Tiger: "Name your terms."

"Conditions..." The Dark Night Golden Tiger walked up to Lin Xinze, its massive body contrasting sharply with Lin Xinze's small frame: "Humans have kept me locked up for a long time. I'm a little lonely. You are the first person who can communicate with me. I can promise you I won't harm the people here, but you must come with me."

"Go with you?" Lin Xinze was somewhat surprised. "Weren't you going to eat me?"

Dark Night Golden Tiger looked completely bewildered: "Why would I eat you? With your tiny body, you're not even enough to fill my teeth."

Lin Xinze breathed a sigh of relief, a big smile spreading across his fair face: "Okay, I promise you."

If we don't eat him, he can live, and when he grows up, he can come back to find his sister and the others.

"You'd better think this through," said the Dark Night Golden Tiger. "I don't like humans. If you come with me, you'll never see these humans again."

"I know." Lin Xinze looked up at the Dark Night Golden Tiger: "You promised me, and I have to keep my promise. I can't go back on my word."

Upon hearing this, the Dark Night Golden Tiger lay down, one wing touching the ground: "Come on up."

Lin Xinze turned around and hugged Ling Yi tightly: "Little sister..."

Ling Yi looked down at him without saying a word.

Lin Xinze said sullenly, "Little sister, I'm leaving. Don't miss me too much. When I grow up, I'll come back to find you and my older brother."

The thought that he would never see his sister again after leaving made Lin Xinze grip Ling Yi's clothes even tighter.

He didn't want to be separated from his sister, but he had promised the big tiger that if he didn't leave, Grandpa Dongfang would die.

"Little sister, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself." Lin Xinze released Ling Yi and retreated step by step towards the Dark Night Golden Tiger.

Those round eyes were now filled with tears.

Ling looked at him without saying a word, but as Lin Xinze struggled to climb onto the wings, she looked at the Dark Night Golden Tiger and said, "So boring, what can a child do with you? Why don't I keep you company instead?"

Dark Night Golden Tiger suddenly looked up at Ling Yi, just in time to see a flash of red light in Ling Yi's eyes.

The Dark Night Golden Tiger was startled and was about to take a closer look when the red light vanished in an instant. At the same time, a powerful surge of spiritual energy spread out.

As the Dark Night Golden Tiger sensed the power fluctuations, its golden beast eyes stared intently at Ling Yi.

The man and the beast stared at each other, neither giving way.

It wasn't until the Dark Night Golden Tiger sensed that the spiritual energy fluctuations were about to erupt that it spoke: "I didn't expect you could communicate with me. In that case, I'll stay and keep you two company."

Ling Yi raised an eyebrow: "You're staying?"

“Yes.” Dark Night Golden Tiger nodded: “I’ll stay.”

"You don't want him to go with you?"

"No more."

“Okay.” Ling smiled: “That’s right. You’re not bored, he doesn’t have to leave, and everyone’s happy.”

Dark Night Golden Tiger: "..."

"What are you still doing lying there?" Ling Yi looked at Lin Xinze: "Get down."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xinze slowly got down, and as soon as he landed, he couldn't wait to run towards Ling Yi: "Little sister!"

"You're the best, little sister." Lin Xinze ran up to Ling Yi and hugged her leg.

"Waaah, I don't have to leave."

"Instead of crying, you should go see your Grandpa Dongfang," Ling said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Lin Xinze finally let go of Ling Yi: "Little sister, I'm going to see Grandpa Dongfang first. You talk to the big tiger." After saying that, Lin Xinze ran away on his short little legs.

Ling Yi stood there, watching Lin Xinze's small figure run away, and thought of the two past lives that the Mirror Spirit had shown her.

In one of his past lives, Lin Chengze died without the ability to communicate with beasts. But now... he has not only survived, but also gained the ability to communicate with beasts.

So, did she give it to you?

...

Ji Zhengchuan wanted to use the students to open the Beast-Suppressing Gate and release the Beast, but the students were rescued by people sent by Emperor Dongyang. In order to fulfill Ji Zhengchuan's instructions, the Ji family disciples volunteered to use their blood as a catalyst to open the Beast-Suppressing Gate.

The Beast-Suppressing Gate opened, and the Dark Night Golden Tiger, sealed by the runes on the gate, flew out from below the Imperial Academy Square, severely injuring the Imperial Academy's Dean. Just as it was about to kill the Dean, it stopped its attack...

"Clap!" The storyteller slammed his gavel, looking at the guests who were listening with great interest: "Do you know why the Dark Night Golden Tiger suddenly stopped attacking?"

The guests who had heard the storyteller eagerly asked, "Why?"

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me!"

The storyteller snapped open his folding fan and began to narrate: "It was because a young master named Lin Xinze was able to communicate with the Dark Night Golden Tiger and stopped it from attacking!"

"Communicate with beasts?" The guests were shocked. "How...how can someone communicate with beasts?"

"Shocked, aren't you?" The storyteller looked at the guests. "It's normal for you to be shocked. When I first heard the news, I was shocked too. Not only are we shocked, but the teachers at the academy are just as shocked as we are!"

"With such abilities, isn't this young master's future secure?"

“That’s natural. Let me tell you about this young master…”

...

Imperial Academy, the courtyard where the Dean resides.

Apart from teachers who couldn't leave or weren't at the college, all the teachers who could come came to the dean's courtyard, making the originally spacious courtyard feel crowded.

Lin Xinze sat next to Ling Yi, carefully holding onto Ling Yi's sleeve under the gaze of all the teachers, not daring to let go at all.
