Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

"Yes, Little Crane! This person is called Zhang Qilin, and he's also the chosen one of my world. He has even more luck than Black Bear!"

"Oh!"

Inside the courtyard, one sees red walls and green tiles, a stone table in the courtyard, and weeds growing in the corner. Next to it lies a rusty sickle, suggesting that the weeds in the corner have not been trimmed for a long time.

Opposite the stone table is a stone screen, with carvings of green bamboo and lotus moon on top and fish playing among lotus leaves below. However, the stone screen does not seem to have been cleaned properly and is covered with a lot of moss.

"Young boss, I have plenty of time to look around my yard. Do you want to mention the 'divine beast Qilin' to the blind man and the other man?"

When Hei Xiazi saw someone enter, he raised his hand to signal Zhang Qilin to close the door. The two of them worked together to walk a short distance in front of Qin Henian, and then stood there on the left and right, their eyes fixed on each other.

"you!"

Qin Henian pointed at Zhang Qilin, a slight ripple appearing in his eyes before quickly calming down and staring at him indifferently.

"Your Qilin bloodline has reverted to its ancestral form and hasn't been fully developed and integrated. It still contains toxins. If it weren't for the powerful bloodline of the Qilin kid in your clan who matched your bloodline, you'd probably be dead by now! You wouldn't be a mere child who can't even retain memories."

"Oh, and besides, you're not so bad as to not even have the strength to attempt a fusion attack."

Tsk, before coming here I thought it was at least a cub that could transform into human form, but I didn’t expect it to be an injured cub. Qin Henian felt a little sad. Although he had some “unspeakable” grudges with a certain guy from the Qilin clan, it was not enough to involve the cub.

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener; Zhang Qilin's pupils suddenly focused upon hearing the other person's words.

He didn't know how the other person knew so much about his physical condition, but he did know that he hadn't told anyone about it. Although he didn't know if there were toxins in his body, he knew that the power of his bloodline had reached a bottleneck. He had long ago felt a sense of fusion with his tattoo, but he had never been able to find a way to "connect." He had a gut feeling that the person opposite him could help him.

"Have you known me before?"

A cold voice came from his mouth, and Zhang Qilin stared intently at the other person, seemingly eager to know the answer to the question.

"do not know!"

What does this kid mean? Qin Henian has lived for countless years, more than two thousand years in this world alone, and yet a Qilin cub who is still a few decades away from turning two hundred is asking him if he knows him. Qin Henian felt a little confused.

"Oh~ you don't know him? If you don't know the mute, how do you know so much about the mute's physical condition?"

Hei Xiazi's tone was slightly unfriendly, and his expression was somewhat serious. He didn't know if what the other person said was true, but that didn't stop him from suspecting that the other person had ill intentions.

As he was thinking, Hei Xiazi silently slipped one hand into his coat, and just then a voice came from the other side.

"What a coincidence! I was so focused on sensing the Qilin cub that I almost missed you, the Pixiu cub that was parasitized and cursed!"

!!!

A cold voice rang out, and in an instant, Hei Xiazi's hand in his pocket paused, his pupils behind his sunglasses narrowed, and an aura of formidable power suddenly erupted from within him as he faced the other party.

"who are you!"

Tsk, what's with this brat's temper? Such a strange temper, no wonder he's the offspring of those Pixiu clan guys! All the same awful temper! Just give him a piece of their mind!!

Qin Henian silently criticized the two cubs in front of him, but a smile did appear on his face, which seemed abrupt and out of place given the somewhat tense atmosphere.

"Who am I? Hmm? You can call me Ancestor Henian~"

Qin Henian glanced at the two of them and uttered these words, which immediately made the atmosphere on the scene even more tense.

Snapped!

Suddenly, Qin Henian raised his hand and slapped his forehead! The smile on his face disappeared instantly. Now that he had seen two juniors, and they were related to the "mission" he was going to do, he had to help them even if they didn't have the bloodline of divine beasts.

"Grandpa? Grandpa? That's not how you take advantage, little boss!"

"The blind man's ancestors have long since turned to dust; young boss, you can't be reincarnated right now!"

As they were talking, Hei Xiazi moved closer to the person and slightly raised his hand, signaling Zhang, the mute on the other side, to restrain the person first, as it would be easier to question him if he had any questions.

Ugh!

What poor little ones!

As the two rapidly approached Qin Henian, Qin Henian silently raised his right hand. In an instant, a golden-red magic disc formed in his palm. The patterns on the magic disc were rugged and irregular, with only a clear flame mark in the center.

Just then, the two men who were about to approach Qin Henian suddenly stopped, frozen in place. Their pupils contracted sharply, and they exchanged a glance, both realizing that the other was in the same predicament...

"Honestly, are all the kids these days so temperamental? I'm not asking you two to call me A-Zu because I'm taking advantage of you, it's just how you should be addressed!"

"Little Qilin, Little Pixiu, it's time to come out!"

As Qin Henian uttered those few words, the two who were unable to move immediately felt their blood surging within them.

Zhang Qilin felt his body temperature gradually rising. He wanted to move but couldn't. The tattoo on his back felt like it was burning fiercely, even hotter than when he usually got a tattoo, and the heat was still rising...

Meanwhile, Hei Xiazi experienced the same thing, except that as his body temperature rose, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes, like being pricked with needles. The pain was so intense that he felt tears streaming down his face behind his sunglasses, and he couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

"Don't be afraid, you two. I'm helping you awaken the guardian within your bloodline and also purifying your blood essence."

As large beads of sweat dripped uncontrollably from their faces, which were writhing in pain, a cold, clear voice came from the side again.

Hmm... which one should I help first?

Qin Henian slightly increased the power within his body, controlling the oppressive force in his bloodline, to help the two cubs remove impurities from their bloodlines, so that they could slowly absorb and awaken in the future.

Qin Henian thought for two seconds, then finally stepped forward to Zhang Qilin, who was closer to him. He raised his snow-white face and looked at the motionless cub in front of him with a smile.

"Little Qilin, little Pixiu, your bloodlines are too mixed. You are not pure divine beast cubs. If you want to get rid of the side effects of your mixed bloodlines, you must purify your bloodlines and become true divine beast cubs!"

"So, little Qilin... your situation is a bit more complicated than little Pixiu's. Just bear with it for now, and your ancestor will help little Pixiu solve this problem!"

After speaking to Zhang Qilin, Qin Henian turned around, smiled at the little black mouse opposite him, and walked towards him.

"Little Pixiu, your eyes are bleeding!"
