Chapter 870: Awakening the Pixiu Bloodline

"Unusual? Forbidden land?" Amalia raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"What’s wrong? Didn’t your elders tell you why humans and devils want to capture Pixiu?" Zhar’khaen was momentarily stunned, as the two obviously looked like disciples from a large sect, and he had assumed they already knew.

Amalia shook her head. "We’ve been looking for you since we arrived and haven’t yet met with our elders."

Zhar’khaen and Vryss’laar looked shocked. Such profound love for the cub! They even disregarded their own safety just to find them, who could help the cub, as soon as possible.

They really hadn’t misjudged them; these two humans genuinely cared for their cub.

"I don’t know what your elders were thinking, letting you two... people take our clan’s cub to Silent Echo Valley. What a generous spirit," Zhar’khaen almost blurted out the words "weak chickens."

Amalia smiled but said nothing. It wasn’t just a generous spirit, but did Qing Huacheng really have such a big heart? She had her doubts, unfortunately, they hadn’t been able to test it before.

"Let’s get to the main point. The forbidden land is our clan’s sacred place; only Pixiu can enter. The reason humans and devils want to capture us is not just to tame us; there’s another reason related to the forbidden land. Aside from the inheritance of Pixiu, there are also treasured items our clan has preserved since ancient times. The Breath Pearl is one of them. Unfortunately, we don’t have many items with us this time; otherwise, we could have gifted you a few divine artifacts," Zhar’khaen said regretfully.

"Divine artifacts?" Upon hearing him casually mention divine artifacts, Amalia understood why Taejin Yun and the others were so relentless in pursuing Pixiu clan.

"You just said Wealth’s condition was a bit unusual; what do you mean by that?"

"According to our clan’s records, hybrid Pixiu typically do not awaken their bloodlines quickly due to their mixed lineage. Because their bloodlines are thin, some descendants might never activate the bloodline of a Pixiu without deliberate guidance from their clan members. Given that the cub is still very weak and has only just been born for a few years, we wouldn’t normally try to help it awaken its Pixiu bloodline; we usually wait for it to stabilize first. So we’re a bit puzzled about why the cub activated its bloodline so quickly, and that it was self-initiated."

"Then how can you be sure this situation won’t cause any problems?" Amalia felt their statements were somewhat contradictory.

Zhar’khaen suddenly glanced at Vryss’laar discreetly, as if they were communicating something.

Vryss’laar hesitated, but since they had already sent the cub back, it should be fine to share.

Amalia and Kenny Lin both noticed this.

After receiving the signal, Zhar’khaen said seriously, "You are the cub’s benefactors and its nominal ’relatives.’ It’s fine to tell you; actually, it is not us helping the cub accept the inheritance, but the forbidden land itself. The forbidden land is a massive inheritance, and this is a secret of our clan."

Kenny Lin suddenly snorted with laughter, "Just because we are Wealth’s relatives, you trust us enough to tell us this?"

"I believe that caring for the cub’s well-being, disregarding your own danger to bring it to us, shows you are not bad people," Zhar’khaen said earnestly.

"Have you considered that we might be doing this intentionally? After all, the cub is of no use to us; we could use it to gain your trust and extract the secrets and location of the forbidden land," Kenny Lin said with a smirk.

Zhar’khaen and Vryss’laar’s expressions changed dramatically in an instant. Right! It could be done this way; why hadn’t they thought of that!

"Alright, stop teasing them," Amalia sighed.

Is it really okay to hand Wealth over to them?"

"However, the two of you should still be a bit more vigilant next time; it’s better for both you and Wealth."

Being "taught a lesson" by two weak humans left Zhar’khaen and Vryss’laar feeling utterly embarrassed.

When Gor’kan returned after handling important matters, he found his two companions looking dejected and confused.

"What happened? Did something happen to the cub?" His expression changed.

"It’s nothing, it’s just..." Vryss’laar found it hard to speak.

"What do you mean, just what? Hurry up and say it!" Gor’kan pressed, and the more they hesitated, the more uneasy he became.

Vryss’laar glanced at the two humans, grinned, and secretly transmitted a message to him.

By the time he finished speaking, Gor’kan was nearly furious with them, feeling frustrated: "I’ve repeatedly told you to never casually disclose information about the forbidden land. Did you treat my words as mere wind in your ears? If it weren’t for them reminding you, you would have sold out the forbidden land and still thought it was amusing, right?"

The two were scolded to the point of being unable to lift their heads. This time, they had been negligent and hadn’t expected to handle it like that.

"You should be grateful we met two good people. If they really wanted to do something bad, they wouldn’t have told you."

"Exactly." The two wore expressions of relief after a disaster; they had indeed been scared out of their wits at first.

"Gor’kan, did the plan succeed?" Amalia waited until they finished before walking over to ask. From his relaxed demeanor, it seemed to have worked.

Gor’kan immediately became gentle, a stark contrast to how he had scolded the others, "It succeeded. Using the Breath Pearl to approach the two lord-level devils is quite simple. They should be looking for you and are not with that monarch-level devil. I’ve divided five drops of Heavenly Dew into two parts and applied them to them."

"Great, thanks for your hard work. Next, when they start fighting, you take Wealth and leave Silent Echo Valley quickly," Amalia instructed.

"And what about you?"

"We’ll go find the elders and leave together after we meet up with them."

The three Pixiu thought that since they had the Breath Pearl, they wouldn’t be in any mortal danger as long as they were careful, so they didn’t persuade the others to leave with them.
