CHAPTER 593: CHAPTER 354: LITTLE NIAN BEAST AND LIN XINGSHI (DOUBLE CHAPTER)

"Are you a girl?"

Lin Xingshi froze for a moment, her eyes suddenly reddened.

She opened her mouth but eventually said nothing, just buried her face in her knees, puffing, "I won’t talk to you anymore."

"You are a girl."

Little Nian Beast was at a loss and finally said seriously.

Lin Xingshi remained silent for a long time.

"Am I ugly?" she asked.

Little Nian Beast shook its head.

"I actually... really want to grow my hair long, but they’re not allowed to," Lin Xingshi said softly, touching the short hair in front of her forehead, "I really hate them, really hate them, so I ran away."

"Ran away from home?" The word popped into Little Nian Beast’s mind, and he didn’t know why he suddenly could speak human language.

Lin Xingshi nodded.

"Do you have parents?" she asked.

"They’re dead," Little Nian Beast said.

"That’s so sad," Lin Xingshi said.

"That’s so sad," Little Nian Beast echoed.

"Why are you copying me?"

Lin Xingshi glared at him.

"Sorry."

"Then... since you don’t have parents, if I take you away, no one will object."

"Yeah, no one will object," Little Nian Beast nodded vigorously.

Lin Xingshi clasped her hands behind her back, lowered her eyes, and said, "Then you can come with me from now on."

Little Nian Beast was stunned. After a long time, he nodded seriously and quietly.

"What’s your name?"

"Little Nian."

"What a strange name."

....

...

When Ji Minghuan came back to his senses from Little Nian Beast’s memory, he had already passed through the dark and lightless tunnel.

He arrived in front of Spirit Heart Lake, loudly calling out to the huge lotus leaf sleeping quietly in the center of the lake.

"Lotus Leaf Bastard, come over here now, don’t make me call twice."

The Lotus Leaf Demon shuddered all over, causing ripples on the lake surface.

It moved swiftly, as if a thousand people were rowing paddles on the leaf, thumping towards the edge of Spirit Heart Lake, stopping in front of Little Nian Beast.

Ji Minghuan smirked.

"Lord Nian Beast, if you’re going back to see the Year Beast Monarch, it’s best to return to your original form," the Lotus Leaf Demon said softly, "You know, the Great Monarch doesn’t like demons turning into human forms."

"Oh right, with my dad’s temper, seeing me in human form would drive him crazy, right?" Ji Minghuan said, "Let me think about how to transform."

The Lotus Leaf Demon was stunned, "Transform? Lord Nian Beast, you haven’t forgotten how to change back to your original form, have you?"

"How could I?"

After saying that, Ji Minghuan took off his rock T-shirt and ripped pants, then activated the human form’s skill "Space Claw," suddenly spreading a series of sharp beastly nails from his five fingers.

The void trembled and tore open a rift leading to an independent space.

He stuffed his clothes and pants inside, and the rift vanished.

Immediately after, Ji Minghuan silently chanted "Nian Beast Form" in his mind, and his bare body suddenly underwent a massive transformation.

His limbs slowly became robust, with sharp claws breaking through the nails, seeping out; his tail swept the air, stirring up a gust of wind, while his body naturally inclined downward. His skin color transformed into an enchanting purple-red, and a wisp of purple-red flame soared from the top of his head, swaying with the wind.

When he came to, he had fully transformed into a huge lion thirty meters in length, casting a lion-shaped shadow upon the lake surface.

Little Nian Beast looked up, gazing at the dazed Lotus Leaf Demon, and said hoarsely:

"Let’s go... take me to see the Great Monarch."
