Ah Chun - Volume 1 Chapter 331 Heavenly Beasts
Hearing these words coming from Xu Wei stunned Ah Chun. She had no idea that he followed her because of some obligation. She felt a bit depressed after hearing this. She had thought that he had followed her for other reasons like she found her interesting or because she was cute but it turned out it was because of obligation!
Sensing her sudden change in mood Xu Wei realized he did not explain himself well enough. But not sure on how to express it he could only think of one thing and that was to place his hand on top of her head. Ah Chun looked up at the cold stoic face and smiled. She knew Xu Wei was trying to cheer her up in his own way.
The black dragon saw this and let out a laugh. “There is more to it than just the fact that she is the Origin. But to each their own. You are right that as part of the four heavenly beasts we should be following her.”
The black dragon took a knee and said: “I Long Jiyi offer you, Origin, my services.”
Ah Chun looked at Long Jiyi up and down before saying: “So you are saying you will follow me now as well? Just like Big Brother Xu?”
“Yes, that would be the case. If you are willing to make a contract with me that is.” Long Jiyi answered.
“I see no reason not to, you are just as strong Mmmm Maybe a little weaker than Big Brother Xu, but at least you will be a lot more helpful than Xiao Long.” Ah Chun answered, she was still a little disgruntled that these so called heavenly beasts were only following her because she was the Origin.
Long Jiyi frowned but did not say anything. But internally he was screaming ‘I am the black dragon okay! The strongest dragon of the lower realms! How dare you compare me to some new born chicken!‘
The two quickly made a contract making Long Jiyi hernew contracted beast. “So explain to me what is the Origin?”
“Young Miss, we cannot say at this time. Not until you have gained enough strength. Once you have met your right and left hands, only then will things become clear. The less you know now, the safer you will be.” Xu Wei answered. He did not like keeping this information away from Ah Chun but he had no choice. Her strength was far from enough.
Ah Chun frowned as she looked at the two tight lipped heavenly beasts in front of her. “Even with the two of you, it will be dangerous?”
“We are merely followers. The ones who would cause trouble if they found you would be the people with power beyond your imagination.”
“Jiyi! Don’t say too much…” Xu Wei cut Long Jiyi off.
“I know! I am just letting her understand that even though we may seem powerful to her, we fail in comparison to them. Our strength will only go so high. Until she reaches a certain strength and has met up with her right and left hands she will never be able to fight against them. If we do not tell her this much she will never understand.” Long Jiyi knew saying too much would be bad but not giving her at least some kind of answer was not good either.
Ah Chun stared frowningat the two snarling at each other and sighed. “Can you at least tell me what a right and left hand is?”
Xu Wei looked at Ah Chun and gave a helpless smile before answering her question. “They are two beings from different universes that will come to be your most powerful companions. They will bring with them many powerful followers as well. That is about as much as I can tell you for now.”
Ah Chun nodded and said: “Thank you for answering what you could.” Ah Chun was really starting to get confused about this whole Origin thing. The information that she understood at this time was that she was to become the one who stands above all. A being that goes against the heavens. She also had one ancient being hiding inside her body protecting her while now she had two heavenly beasts protecting her externally. On top of that, she found out she was to meet her right and left hand who were supposedly supposed to be extremely powerful. Then there was someone or some group that wanted to kill her. Xu Wei and Long Jiyi referred to them as ‘Them‘. There wasn’t much to go on so she could only put it to the back of her mind for now. One thing they said was true, She was still very weak right now.
“Alright since the contract is made and you are now my contracted beasts Xiao Jiyi can you help me find a devil cultivation technique to use? ” Ah Chun asked, covering her mouth as she tried to hide her smile. The look on Long Jiyi’s face was priceless when she called him Xiao Jiyi.
“Yes, follow me…” Long Jiyi said with a furrowed brow.
Xiao Long looked at Long Jiyi with a bit of pity in his eyes. ‘Welcome to my world brother!‘He truly understood what it was like to have to follow this little devil!
The group quickly flew into the volcano to a cave near the lava’s surface. After walking into the cave the temperature quickly changed from scorching hot to a cool comfortable temperature. Ah Chun looked around and was surprised to see how big the place was. The main room was a large room where Ah Chun guessed the black dragon stayed in his dragon form and off to the side were two rooms. Long Jiyi led them over to one of the rooms.
