12 1,800 Year Old Spirit Beast?!

Being together with a person, with a mask on to look good isn't very comforting in Bai Yuan's opinion. It's like his hidden his real self from others but what can she say she's doing the same thing as him.

The Waterfall Forest is a forest divided by a waterfall like Mount Quiji. It is another place where people can find spirit beasts but they are more ferous and dangerous than Heaven Star Forest. That is due to living near Mount Quiji where there are cultivators and spirit master so the beasts in the forest have to toughen up to beat those people. Sometimes they even fight each other to compare strength and not for killing.

Bai Yuan and Ling Xia jump from tree to tree looking around for a magical beast above their own level. Bai Yaun is in the peak of foundation establishment and her spiritual rank is 28 so she's close to absorbing a third spirit ring so maybe she can make use of this chance.

BY: System search the surrounding area.

SYSTEM: Why me. Just use your spirit, it's also great at searching.

BY: Why are you angry? Having them search will only reveal them and right now isn't really the perfect time.

SYSTEM: Fine! FINE!!!

Saying so the system spread its senses around a 100 meter around Bai Yuan trying to locate a 1,800-year-old spirit beast. Searching for about 5 minutes it finally found one about 1,800-year-old spirit beast.

[Found one! 57 meters and east of here.]

'There must be something wrong with it,' Bai Yuan didn't think for long. She uses her spiritual sense to found that there really was a spirit beast east from here. She turns toward the teen with the gold mask and suggested, "How about we go this way. My spiritual sense tells me that there might be something we're looking for about 57 meters from here."

Ling Xia gaze at the direction the girl pointed to. He didn't think the girl would have enough spiritual senses to sense that far. But what she said is true, there is a spirit beast there that might match what they want.

As they both close in, the spirit beast is an Iris Green Snake. Its green scale has a hint of a shimmering violet color and there's a red swirl on its forehead. The Iris Green Snake is crawling its body around a big green oak tree. The green scaled snake seems like it was sleeping soundly without any disturbance. But Ling Xia felt something was wrong with this snake, it's almost like it was dead or maybe pretending to sleep to lure its enemy into its circumference. Without a second delay, Ling Xia grabs hold of Bai Yuan's waist. He dodges the incoming attack from underground as he moves back from the Iris Green Snake attack range. Ling Xia has moved back more than 25 meters but the attack keeps coming.

Bai Yuan look at him in confusion then she realized why he would save her. Their life is tied together by the red string. If she dies, that would also be the end of him. She thought, 'And here I thought he was caring.'

Bai Yaun quickly uses her spiritual sense with her second ring skill called ghost vision from a 900-year-old pit python. The ghost vision allows her to see things that others don't normally see and understand things better. Using spiritual sense with ghost vision allow her to see a 360 degree of everything but limit her reach to 25 meters around her. Nothing can get out of her range within 25 meters, the truth and the false are in her power to decide. This skill has a time limit of 1 minute and she has to wait for an hour to reuse the skill due to her only being in the peak of foundation establishment. There are weaknesses in every skill and weapon so her ghost vision is no exception but ghost vision can be upgraded if her cultivation increase, unlike most skills that are permanent.

Using the spiritual white whip she got as a reward, Bai Yuan swing it past the Iris Green Snake and stroke a hard shell. From her blow, the sound of another creature could be heard and the underground attack began fiercer.

Ling Xia kept dodging the attacks while carrying Bai Yuan in his arms. He didn't know why but the girl in his arm has a sweet herb scent that is to his liking. The girl also doesn't seem to be disturbed about him, he wasn't even in her sight whether her sight landed on no one while they were doing the tests. Only the second test when their eyes met that she stares at him but only out of curiosity and nothing else.

His thoughts only lasted for a second, Ling Xia dodges faster than he has before distancing himself from the attack. He throws Bai Yuan in the air while dodging three coming attacks at the same time.

Bai Yuan who was in the air swing her spiritual whip at Ling Xia wrapping him up and pull him up into the air too. With her other hand, reaching into her sleeves, she throws three sharp knives into the place she just strikes with her whip. These four knives aren't impressive at first but the lethal thing about it is the poison smeared on the edge and the three hidden sharp needles that follow along.

Landing on the ground again they heard the creature roar loudly and steps out of it's hidden place showing it's full form. It has white skin with little tiny bits of pokey blackish red hair. It is about 4 meters long, has lots of little legs with a green swirl on its forehead. If Bai Yuan has to say it's a bigger version of a white fuzzy caterpillar but also has its differences.

[This is a Fuzzy Ice Caterpillar and it's more than 2,500 years old. Your best way is to RUN AWAY host!!!]

"You think I could leave when it's already to this stage."

[...System has no comment. ...But don't ever touch its spike, o.k.?!!!]

All of the spikes around its body is like its defense against predators. With it, predators will stay away from the Fuzzy Ice Caterpillar but its ground attack and strong ice spear caging will not let the predator escape without harm. No one would want to face against a Fuzzy Ice Caterpillar due to this skills and its defense.

"Flip the fuzzy ice caterpillar on its stomach with your whip while I distract it," Ling Xia calmly said.

Bai Yuan listened to his words, twirling her whip in her hand, she swings it full force towards the fuzzy ice caterpillar. It swaps the wind along with it and wraps around the fuzzy ice caterpillar. With a click of her hand, the whip filled with spiritual energy flip the fuzzy ice caterpillar on its stomach but its attack didn't end even if its weakness is shown.

The fuzzy ice caterpillar attack Bai Yuan with its spear cage entrapping her inside. She can only watch as a spectacle to the fight that is happening. Ling Xia draws his sword while dodging the spear cage attack and blocking the ground attack with his sword getting closer to the fuzzy ice caterpillar. He leaped into the air and this was when Bai Yuan finally saw her partner's spiritual beast but for only a second or less than a second. From those seconds the only thing she saw was bright red feathers.

With a sharp blow from his sword into the Fuzzy Ice Caterpillar, it whelps once and fell down. Bai Yuan didn't really think that a 12-year-old would be able to beat a beast more than 2,500-year-old without a scratch but thinking again half of the credit goes to her. With the owner dead, the spear cage entrapping her break down into pieces.

"You a..." Bai Yuan stops her speech when she saw his eyes. The eye with the mask on, sclera which is usually white turned black and the iris has turned into a golden ice color while his black pupil has turned into a sharp rhombus shape. It was like a mixer of a fox and dragon eye together.

"It's beautiful..." almost like my little dumplings, she didn't say the rest of her sentence.

Ling Xia with his hand raises towards Bai Yuan lower his hand and stare at the girl in surprise.

"You're not scared?" he asks dumbfounded.

Bai Yuan stare at him and his eyes then just smile, "Should I?"

The first time his eyes turn like this, people were scared of him and stay away. The only exception was his father, who doesn't care but his relatives and friends stay away. Even Xiao An who he regarded as his sister stay away for a few days before she was willing to accept him. No one was like this girl who called it beautiful and not be disgusted or scared of it.

While Ling Xia was trying to absorb the spiritual ring, system was thinking about his eye and suddenly made a realization [Host could he be the father?!]

When Bai Yuan heard his sentence she rejected it right away without hesitation, "No way! Look at him, isn't he too young as a father."

[You wouldn't know. Maybe something happened to him. Like you for example.]

"No, he acts like a 12-year-old. Can't be," Bai Yuan said while peaking at him as his eyes are closed, in a mediating position, with sweats forming on his face and mentally fighting against the Fuzzy Ice Caterpillar in his spiritual consciousness.

Inside system, system was like 'Huh, who would believe what you said, but with an eye like that he does resemble someone...' System abruptly realizes that he, in the future was the one who took Bai Yuan's eyes out and gives it to the female lead, Bai Zhilan. He was also the most important supporting male lead in developing the female lead. System uses memories of the supporting male lead in Bai Yuan's mind in order to block the seals in her, so she'll never remember and feel... But system never thought it'll turn out like this, 'Just hope everything will be alright.'

[Danger! DANGER!!!!]

Hearing system's call of danger, Bai Yuan uses her second skill to survey the area to find that the Iris Green Snake who was supposed to be dead wasn't an Iris Green Snake. It uses an illusion of an Iris Green Snake to mask its real form! She has never encountered a beast like this or the Gorang Forest never have a beast like this. A beast that is like a centipede but a face almost like a human being. Bai Yuan glance at Ling Xia, seeing that he was in the most important stage, she can't let the beast get close to him or she'll go down with him.

She only got one shot to kill the beast, so using all the remaining spiritual energy, she fires her attack at the beast's mouth as its mouth open trying to swallow her up. Using the qi in her body, she flung the beast away. Using up all her spiritual energy, Bai Yuan walk back to where the boy was but she didn't expect the beast to mack a last resort attack at her. Bai Yuan spit out a mouthful of blood but she still remains conscious enough to shoot three poisonous silver needles at the beast.
