School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master-Chapter 1550 - 1636: Coaxing the Fire Qilin

Chen Nan remained silent as the Fire Qilin continued to spew flames non-stop.

This top-level Immortal Beast was exceedingly powerful, and when battling an enemy, its immortal power seemed inexhaustible even after three days and nights.

"I’d rather die standing than live kneeling. Begging for mercy is not my style. If one day I can’t hold on any longer, I want this Kirin Fire to burn me up."

As Chen Nan continued to fight with the Fire Qilin, he found the battle increasingly enjoyable. The sight of the Qilin’s angry expression was endearingly cute.

While speaking, he even felt a surge of poetic inspiration. Unfortunately, not skilled in poetry, he could only say a few artistic lines.

However, these few lines nearly caused Yunlong Heavenly Monarch to deviate.

Having reached the Heavenly Monarch Realm, he hoped to advance further.

Moreover, he firmly believed that Ziyun didn’t like him because his realm was much lower than hers. So, he spent all his time cultivating.

Guarding Chen Nan certainly didn’t mean leisure time, and he never expected that he, a dignified Heavenly Monarch, would almost have his divine power reversed and deviate.

"Chen Nan, stay put inside and let the Fire Qilin turn you into dried meat."

Yunlong Heavenly Monarch paced back and forth outside the cave, even contemplating going in to see how miserable Chen Nan had become.

Four days and three nights had passed, and Chen Nan was still battling the Fire Qilin.

By this time, the Qilin’s nostrils could hardly emit any flames, and the fire from its mouth was pathetically weak. The once blazing flames on its body had disappeared.

It now lacked any semblance of a top-level Immortal Beast, more akin to a defeated dog, similar in misfortune.

"Roar..."

The roar was also pathetically weak, as if it hadn’t eaten.

"Damn human, why, why do you keep hitting my nose?"

The Fire Qilin finally couldn’t take it anymore. Though capable of speaking human language, it disliked conversing, especially with cultivators weaker than itself.

"Fine, I won’t hit your nose. Just put more effort into your fire-breathing," Chen Nan said, employing the Eighteen Ways of Tang, "Eyes, tongue, teeth, ears, chin..."

As he fought and shouted, the beating nearly brought the Qilin to tears: "Damn! So damn unfair!"

Nevertheless, it was at the end of its strength, and after a few more weak attempts, it was completely exhausted.

At this moment, Chen Nan moved his palm, and a piece of Immortal Herb appeared in his hand. "Tired? Out of immortal power? No worries, I have Immortal Herb here, don’t be shy."

He directly held the Immortal Herb to the Fire Qilin’s mouth—

"Eat up. Eat, and you’ll spit fire better. I feel your flames greatly benefit my body. Who knows, if I stay here a few years, or eleven years, my Divine Fire might advance."

As soon as the Qilin swallowed the Immortal Herb and heard this, its legs nearly gave out underneath it.

Its eyes were filled with grief; how did it run into such a freak?

At this moment, the Fire Qilin’s inner world was collapsing.

This Immortal Herb contained powerful heaven and earth spiritual energy, greatly restoring the Qilin’s immortal power after ingestion.

However, it had long lost any urge to kill Chen Nan, becoming much more docile.

"Having eaten my Immortal Herb, you need to work hard; I might stop hitting your nose, but you must breathe fire well. I’m advancing a divine skill, and your flames are very useful for me."

Chen Nan sensed the light purple Divine Fire could absorb these flames causing minor changes, and the Abyss Divine Tree Seed in his divine sense also seemed more dormant, as if hiding itself.

Though the Abyss Divine Tree was formidable, it had been sealed in the Abyss Prison from ancient times until now, further refined by the Abyss Warden with Blood Refining Skill, its power waning compared to the past.

Chen Nan, by a stroke of luck, had it penetrate his body; what had been a great risk had now become somewhat of a relief.

"Besides the nose, you can’t hit anywhere else..."

The Fire Qilin spat a mouthful of fire, saying, "Human, you can’t be unreasonable; I’m a top-level Immortal Beast, an ancient anomaly, Heaven’s favored child."

"Tch, you can’t even beat me and still call yourself Heaven’s favored child? Even your Heaven’s father isn’t helping you; it seems quite disappointed in you. Come on, be a good kid and become my son. I’ll take care of you; I’ve got not only Immortal Herb but countless spiritual medicines and Immortal Pill, eat to your heart’s content."

Chen Nan laughed heartily.

"Woo woo, human boy, don’t try to abduct me; I am an ancient... glug glug..."

Seeing the countless Immortal Elixirs and Spiritual Medicines in Chen Nan’s hand, the Fire Qilin couldn’t help but gulp.

In this Fire Cloud Cave, it had been trapped for an unknown span, spending most of its time in long slumber, yearning for the days when it could eat Spirit Grass as it pleased.

Those days were long gone. Ever since being trapped by Illusion Destruction Sect’s Ziyun and Yunlong Heavenly Monarch, it had not even dreamed of Spirit Grass.

This life was too miserable.

"Gulp, gulp... drip drip..."

The Fire Qilin swallowed hard, yet the drool still dripped uncontrollably from its mouth, soon pooling into a small stream.

"Fine, human, you’ve won, but I won’t call you dad. I’ve been trapped here in Fire Cloud Cave too long, immensely weakening my strength, unless you let me out."

The Fire Qilin blinked large eyes, speaking to Chen Nan with a hint of resentment.

"I’ll consider it."

Chen Nan scratched his head; if this guy stayed by his side, constantly breathing fire, perhaps the light purple Divine Fire might evolve someday, but Illusion Destruction Sect might not agree.

Outside the cave, Yunlong Heavenly Monarch had lost interest in cultivation.

Several elders passing by gave him odd looks, adding to his embarrassment.

"Yunlong Heavenly Monarch personally guarding Fire Cloud Cave, could it be the Fire Qilin is about to break through? That’s a top-level Immortal Beast; if it gets out, our Illusion Destruction Sect will suffer countless casualties. Quickly report to the Sect Master."

A perceptive elder quickly grasped the situation and uncovered the truth.

"..."

Yunlong Heavenly Monarch rolled his eyes, speechless.

"If the Fire Qilin comes out, not even Yunlong Heavenly Monarch is an equal match, immediate notification to Purple Rhythm and Zi Jie, the Patriarchs cultivating in the Holy Land, is required..." This was a blunt, outspoken elder.

Yunlong Heavenly Monarch nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

After a few days, he thought Chen Nan would give in, but every taunt was met with robust retorts, leaving him speechless, while the Sect elders added to the chaos.

"I say..."

Yunlong Heavenly Monarch tried to stop those elders, but they were very thoughtful: "Patriarch, no need to instruct, we understand. You focus on presiding over the Formation to handle the Fire Qilin."

With that, they swiftly departed.

Chen Nan’s days were becoming more enjoyable; cultivating Divine Fire while using the Phoenix Winged Golden Mace to chip away at the Fire Cloud Cave’s floor.

The floor was extremely solid and had self-repair abilities; chisel slowly, and it immediately restored.

A treasure, absolutely a treasure!

Excited, Chen Nan took about ten days to finally carve out a piece.
