Female lead: No, it's me again??

As soon as she spoke, she realized her words were ambiguous and corrected herself, "Master, what I meant was, are the people behind Lin Shan going to abandon their responsibilities?"

"Have you found out who it is?"

"No."

After determining the direction, Feng Siyue lifted her leg and walked forward.

"The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light. Since they are targeting me, no matter where I go, there will always be someone to lead me back to the so-called right track."

"No need to worry."

Is there no need to worry?

The girl's voice has a calming power, but if you listen carefully, you can also find a kind of madness that is resigned to one's fate.

Unafraid of danger, even actively approaching it.

This is the master.

Just like back then, he didn't hesitate to get involved.

Let's go back to the day when Feng Siyue and Chen returned to Moon Shadow Valley.

He Chen was puzzled for a moment, then followed, "Benefactor Bai, what do you mean by choosing me?"

"Master, come with me."

Feng Siyue and the others entered the first floor of the bamboo house and sat together at the tea table.

"Who is Ling Mi?"

The silver-white rabbit reached behind it and pulled out a white crystal ball with intricate silver thorn patterns on its surface.

"Why is this... white?"

After Ling Mi awoke, aside from the time she spent cultivating with Yan Nanfei, she used her own power to nurture her clan. Therefore, even though these bloodline crystals had not yet awakened, they resonated with Ling Mi over a long period of time.

The bloodline crystals that can flow are black.

This time, it's white.

Moreover, He Chen has no Shadow Clan bloodline, so why would the Moon Shadow Beast choose him?

Ling Mi placed the bloodline crystal steadily on the table, scratched the back of her head, and said, "Um... how should I put it? Actually, our Moonshadow Beast clan can be divided into two main lineages."

"Main vein?"

Yan Nanfei seemed somewhat lost.

"Why haven't I heard you say that before?"

Ling Mi was a little embarrassed. "This has never happened before~ Don't worry, let me explain slowly."

"Because of their abnormally powerful innate abilities, the Moonshadow Beast race also gave birth to our race's absolute natural enemy at the very beginning of their existence: the Nightless Moonshadow Beast."

"It's funny, really, I've never heard of my own natural enemy being myself..."

My own natural enemy?

Yan Nanfei: "..."

That's truly amazing.

"Many of my ancestors and I always thought that the Nightfall Moon Shadow Beast was just a fabrication. It wasn't until this person appeared that I realized the legend wasn't just a baseless rumor."

Feng Siyue's gaze fell on He Chen.

"He doesn't have Shadow Clan blood, so how did the Nightfall Shadow Beast you mentioned choose him?"

Ling Mi said, "The Nightfall Moon Shadow Beasts are different from us. They do not belong to the Shadow Clan's contracted battle beast series, but are independent and do not need to rely on the Shadow Clan to awaken them."

"The old patriarch once said that when the right person appears, the Nightfall Moonshadow Beast will take the initiative to show itself and search for that person."

No need for Shadow Clan bloodline awakening?

Are they the Moonshadow Beastmen, hidden in absolute darkness?

"Now, all it needs is this person to help it hatch."

He Chen's gaze fell on Feng Siyue.

"this......"

Do we need him?

But he didn't even know what kind of spirit beast the Moon Shadow Beast was.

Feng Siyue seemed to sense his predicament and smiled, "You can think of it as a fighting partner who has come to your door."

Battle partner?

He Chen chuckled, "The Pilgrimage Sect is quite generous, giving away a sacred beast as soon as you join."

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of the silver-white rabbit before him. Its aura was ancient, and although it was in its juvenile stage, it exuded an unusual fluctuation of power.

Feng Siyue simply said, "He Chen, the choice is yours."

The young man's gaze fell on the crystal ball, a thoughtful look appearing between his brows. "Can I know why you chose me?"

The crystal ball stirred, and a wisp of darkness spilled out, suddenly burrowing into He Chen's brow.

A series of images flashed through his mind.

He Chen subconsciously looked at Bai Chuhan.

That one glance revealed so much.

Feng Siyue narrowed her eyes slightly.

"because I?"

He Chen's gaze became much more complicated, and he nodded quietly.

Without saying another word, he pricked his fingertip, and a drop of blood fell onto the crystal ball, where it was then absorbed.

"Click~"

Cracks appeared on the crystal ball.

"Oh!"

Broken to the ground.

At the core of the crystal ball is a rabbit with pure black eyes and red pupils, and between its eyebrows is a faint blue thorn pattern.

The little guy opened his eyes and appeared on He Chen's shoulder before disappearing without a trace.

Ling Mi explained at just the right moment, "The Nightshade Moonbeast dislikes bright light and is quiet, but every one of them that reaches maturity is an absolute king of battle..."

As it spoke, it pulled out a yellowed book from somewhere and read aloud, "It is said that the Nightfall Moonshadow Beast's innate ability is absolute control over darkness... well, this is impossible to verify."

"The book also says that each Nightshade Moonbeast can comprehend its own unique second innate divine ability in the darkness..."

"It cannot be verified."

"Ah."

A disdainful echo resounded in the air.

Ling Mi frowned, immediately looked at He Chen's shoulder, and said unhappily, "What are you 'heh' for? Do you want to fight?!"

She didn't know if it was because they were natural enemies, but she just couldn't stand the way the other person looked at her!

The childish voice was slightly cold, "I'll play along to the end."

His voice was childlike, like a child's.

Lingmi got angry. She rolled up her non-existent sleeves and pretended to charge forward, shouting, "Come on!! I'm not afraid of you!!!"

Yan Nanfei quickly pressed down on her shoulder and advised, "Don't get excited. We can talk about the sparring later. There are more important things to do now."

She looked at He Chen, her eyes filled with doubt, "Master, what did Master mean by saying that she chose you?"

Lingmi blinked, also confused. "Yes, because you chose him, what does that mean?"

Feng Siyue's gaze remained fixed on He Chen.

The young man's gaze held a hint of complexity as he took out his brush and ink and began to paint.

Not a word.

Lingmi got impatient. "Hey! I'm telling you, monk, if you have a mouth, why do you have to draw?"

He Chen said, "I think that drawing it out would make the experience more intuitive."

Is it more intuitive to draw it out?

Lingmi was puzzled.

But I didn't ask.

For the next half hour, the three of them waited for him to finish drawing.

Half an hour later, He Chen pushed the painting in front of Feng Siyue, "Take a look."

Feng Siyue's gaze fell on the painting, and her calm eyes suddenly trembled violently; the spiritual energy around her instantly turned red!

riot!

"Impossible!? How could this be..."

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Yan Nanfei hurriedly walked behind her. The moment his gaze fell on the painting, her calm expression instantly crumbled!

"This...this is impossible!?"
