“What is this…”
Shui Miao sensed the intrusion of an abnormal power, instinctively wanting to resist, but it quickly suppressed this impulse.
For just an instant, it felt as if its entire body was enveloped in the surging Qi of water spirits. The Chi Wen essence that its stomach couldn’t digest for a while started to blend into its limbs and bones.
“This is…”
As the four layered and cyclical secret techniques coordinating with each other were activated, Feng Qing’an noticed something amiss.
Although he wouldn’t claim to have mastered these four secret techniques to the point ot perfection, he was nevertheless able to command them with ease.
Even when encountering a dragon-horse for the first time, he had an idea of the changes that might occur. However, the changes now occurring in this impure-blooded dragon-horse were somewhat unexpected.
Normally, it should be a one-time enhancement of its own bloodline and power. Although it wouldn’t be a large increase and quite insignificant, but for the big demon, such a minute positive change would be perceived with certainty. By then, wouldn’t he be grateful?
However, when Feng Qing’an’s soul power wrapped in Spiritual Qi entered the dragon-horse’s body, he discovered that his soul power was being unusually depleted. Something in the dragon-horse’s body was absorbing the Spiritual Qi he brought in, and was also consuming a part of his soul power.
Normally, using the four secret techniques consumes very little soul power. Only when encountering a special species like the Solar Tree, which also devours soul power, does an accident occur.
And because of having dealt with such an oddity like the Solar Tree before, Feng Qing’an was curious about what was hidden in this seemingly normal dragon-horse’s body.
It actually housed something that could unconsciously and actively absorb and devour his Soul Power. Given his unique physique, this change should be attributed to some supreme trait hidden in the object causing the change, which was unable to manifest due to the lack of supportive power of higher nature and was forced to hide.
“Feng Qing’an, what’s wrong?”
Nü Luo, who had been paying attention when Feng Qing’an raised his hand, noticed the change in the youth’s expression and quickly asked. This dragon-horse had grown up under her watch and care.
Feng Qing’an didn’t respond, but his brow furrowed. His soul power depletion was intensifying, and this trend was becoming stronger, which reminded him of the Solar Tree.
But when he fed the Solar Tree before, it swallowed all comers but won’t demand if he stopped supplying. However, what was hidden in the dragon-horse’s body was different—it actively sucked in and desperately absorbed.
Improperly put, it was like a particular food-demanding glutton that had starved itself for two hundred years, hidden deep in this creature’s body, having finally found tasty, suitable food today.
“Did Miao Miao’s mother come from a special background?”
Facing this situation, Feng Qing’an managed to ask Nü Luo, having enough leftover energy. His soul power was being consumed, something he is already quite acquainted with, that he could even meditate to recover at the same time. Of course, the rate of recovery couldn’t keep up with the consumption.
“A special background? No, her mother was just an extraordinary Black Zebra Horse!”
Nü Luo pondered over Feng Qing’an’s question. But then, she slowly shook her head.
“I feel a long-hidden power reviving inside my body!”
The dragon-horse seemed to be a bit restless at this moment, but more than that, it was deeply excited. A power that was inherent to it but had been sleeping was awakening.
“Did her matrilineal kin possess any unusual, or rather unnatural, divine abilities?”
Feng Qing’an asked further.
“Unnatural divine abilities?”
Nü Luo thought for a while as if recalling something,
“Her mother could communicate with plants, master the growth of grass and trees, does that count?”
“What do you think?”
Feng Qing’an countered, a horse demon possessing a divine power related to plants and trees, wasn’t that strange enough? Its father could control water hecallqp he was a river snirit_ having the Shane of a dragon vet the hodv of a

“It does seem a bit strange. Among her kin, only she woke up to such a divine power!”
Nü Luo responded, in her view, this was within the realm of normal. There was nothing strange about creatures in this world possessing divine powers related to the Five Elements. There were those who lived in water yet could breathe fire.
“So, there might be some special bloodline in its mother, which is why its father was attracted to her?”
Feng Qing’an drew his conclusion. Considering the abnormality occurring in the dragon-horse, this guy’s mother can’t be an ordinary mare. Just think about it. Its father, after all, was a river spirit. Although he had the body of a horse, he wouldn’t just mate with any pretty mare he saw. There must be a deeper reason.
“I have no clue!”
Nü Luo didn’t want to continue the discussion.
Whinny
Suddenly, the Dragon Horse let out a peculiar neigh, it was like the sound of a
large bell, pleasant to the ears. It appeared to be a change that had developed within its body, which had reached a certain point, causing its external appearance to also alter.
A torrential surge of green-wood spiritual Qi erupted from within it, its skull started to become broader whilst two bumps of flesh swelled up on both sides of its forehead, visibly rising at a visible rate. As a result, its inflated abdomen rapidly deflated.
The strange call, combined with the distinct external transformations, caused Feng Qing’an and the mountain god to exchange looks, their expressions becoming intricate, prompting the boy to ask,
“It didn’t consume Chi Wen’s flesh and blood and inherit the dragon clan bloodline, did it?”
“It is already at such a stage, how could it be so easily influenced by the dragon bloodline? Besides, do you think the dragon pedigree could be obtained so effortlessly?”
Nü Luo rolled her eyes.
“Aren’t there dragon descendants everywhere in this world? I heard that even a true dragon could simply urinate in a lake, and it would give birth to hundreds, if not thousands, of dragon descendants!”
Feng Qing’an questioned.
“If a true dragon actually does that in a lake, indeed, it can create a countless number of inferior dragon breeds. But they would be of little use.”
Nü Luo explained to Feng Qing’an, this is a common misconception in the cultivation world. Dragon descendants can be found everywhere, which gives people the false impression that the dragon bloodline is easily obtainable.
“If merely consuming flesh and blood could enhance or even acquire the dragon’s bloodline, all the dragon descendants living in the rivers and seas would start killing each other. You kill me, I eat you, devour one another until they become a true dragon! Wouldn’t that be joyous!”
“Then what’s the deal with dragon descendants created by true dragons?”
“That’s because the dragon clan is extremely prolific! The power of a true dragon can stimulate the faint dragon blood in the Water Clan to awaken. Let me tell you the truth. Even a true dragon cannot just grant a dragon bloodline to a spirit that has absolutely no relation to the Dragon Clan!”
“So, for the dragon bloodline, if you have it, you have it, if you don’t, you don’t. What seems to be obtained out of thin air is actually an awakening?
Feng Qing’an understood.
“Not only for the Dragon Clan, but also for other clans. From the moment of birth, what you should have, you have; what you don’t, you cannot forcefully obtain. Unless extraordinarily fortunate, such as encountering the Ancestral Dragon and Primordial Phoenix, such supreme existences can endow bloodlines to worldly spirits!”
“I get it now!”
Feng Qing’an cast his gaze onto the Dragon Horse, his expression becoming complex.
“So this thing, was it stimulated by me and has awakened some extraordinary bloodline?”
“Maybe!”
Nü Luo was also not sure, but she could also sense the divine aura burgeoning within the Dragon Horse’s body.
Whinny—
Another peculiarly pleasing call was heard. The Dragon Horse’s body at that moment was shrouded by a faint green light, the divine glow reminded Feng Qing’an of the Mountain God of Green Python Mountain. However, despite the similarity in color of the glow, they were still different.
Crack-
It seemed that a green thunderbolt had exploded within the Water Mansion, two seemingly tender horns pierced through the flesh and extended out from both sides of the Dragon Horse’s forehead.
The dense green-wood spiritual Qi erupted from there, sketching out a holy silhouette at the creature’s back.
Standing right in front of the Dragon Horse, Feng Qing’an widened his eyes in surprise. He gazed up at the figure created by the green-wood spiritual Qi at the horse’s rear, and the goddess, who was usually nonchalant and unceremonious, also stood up in shock, her eyes bulging and mouth agape.
Dragon-headed, deer-antlered, lion-eyed, tiger-backed, bear-waisted, snake-scaled, and horse-hoofed… Such a vivid form was immediately recognized by both the young man and the goddess, even though it was their first time seeing it.
“Turns out it’s a Qilin!”
The goddess couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder..
