Chapter 43: Episode 5.8 Qinglong Eyes

Having finally reached the recording room, Bai Tingfeng and Yanyan bid goodbye to Shen Yuan. The father and son duo are guided to the VIP area of the spectator stands, where the privileged members of the hunter industry are waiting for Shen Yuan’s show.

Facing Mao Huanlong is also something that has bugged Shen Yuan these past few days. The instances when he wanted to march toward the Hunter Association and confront its chairman is not something that fingers could count. But then again, he tried to calm himself down and kept reminding himself that he was in the human world now and needed to dance according to the rhythm of society.

Hence, no barging like a war freak. He’s got to make an opportunity to talk to Mao Huanlong.

Shen Yuan used the graceful welcome of the Hunter Association to request a five-minute alone time with their chairman. And since they are kin to sucking up, they said okay, faster than light.

"With all due respect, you know that I will not let you go without clarification of your previous mind games, right?" Shen Yuan smiled like a cool spring breeze, beautiful and pleasant, but it signals the impending rain shower. "Right, Chairman Mao?"

Chairman Mao laughed gently at the suppressed threat posed by the omega, "Persistence is indeed in your nature, huh?"

"I will spare asking whatever meaning behind those words given that we have no time to spare," Aside from them, the only thing that is present in the recording room is a vast ass supercomputer that bears the insignia of Hunter Association, making each of his forward footsteps audible despite how light his movements are.

He stopped directly before the gray-haired alpha male and ensured his gaze penetrated the other person’s soul. "What kind of eyes do you have, and what did you see when you looked at me that day?"

Shen Yuan’s tone was as cold as ice, and his gaze was piercing like a frozen icicle towards the older man who was full of mystery.

The moment he gained access to the internet, Mao Huanlong was the first person he searched for. He tried to see if there was any information regarding his seemingly special eyes. But despite his efforts and the vastness of data on the internet, the only thing he got was that Mao Huanlong had an undisclosed eye skill. Nothing came up beyond that.

Seeing the seriousness of the omega, Chairman Mao couldn’t stop himself from revealing a doting smile.

"Hah! Kids these days are quite disappointing." The elderly alpha clicked his tongue.

"Kids? Excuse me! I am—" thousands of years older than you!

Shen Yuan was itching to spit the rest of his sentence, but his conditioned reflex not to expose himself as a celestial fox spirit acted quickly, fortunately.

"You have a kid on your own, I know. But seriously, you shouldn’t be too serious while still young."

Too serious? It is a severe matter to him since it concerns his secret! The celestial fox gnashed his teeth.

Seeing that the young Shen Yuan was dead serious about his questions, Chairman Mao stopped playing around. The smile on his eyes and lips remained, but the moment he opened his mouth, his tone was solemn—a no-nonsense statement.

"My eyes can see mana like it is a tangible thing. Magic and aura, no matter how thin and invisible they are to the naked eyes, in my sight, they are solid forms that I could sketch on a piece of paper if I want to," Chairman Mao’s voice reverberated in the room. "In our Qing Family, we call those Azure eyes."

"Even though it was crimson red when I saw it?" Shen Yuan silently questioned himself

However, although he didn’t ask that, it was still evident in the face. Thus, Chairman Mao explained, "The name came from the Azure Dragon, our patron beast that blessed our family’s bloodline. It was because those eyes are compared to the wisdom of the azure dragon that could see through illusions and deceptions of the demon spirits."

"Now that hit home," the celestial fox spirit thought spitefully.

Back in the spirit realm, he also has a history with the Azure Dragon or Qinglong, and it isn’t a very pleasant one.

Let’s say it is the beef between a strict and hardworking older brother and a naughty but well-loved younger brother.

Qinglong is too much of a stiff and boring leader of the heavenly beasts, and he is this impulsive and fun-loving fox spirit that’s beloved by the heavens.

They always had a row whenever he was in the spirit realm because that pesky Qinglong hated his tricks and illusions.

"So, you saw the outline of what I am hiding. Was it during the fight with Haichong?"

If it follows the exact nature of Qinglong’s sight, Mao Huanlong’s eyes are useless if he uses a total transformation.

That is an established fact since he tricked the high and mighty Azure Dragon countless times by pretending to be a human spirit who accidentally got lost in his territory.

Chairman Mao nodded, smiling, "You are quite smart."

"If I am not, then my tails are just for show," Shen Yuan said to himself.

"I don’t understand why you must hide those ears and bushy tails that you have when using your powers. No one will talk badly about you if you are a heteromorphic awakener, especially if your strength is S-Class, Shen Yuan."

"Heteromorphic?" The celestial fox spirit asked, mouth agape. Isn’t there a misunderstanding?

"Yeah, heteromorphic awakeners who can transform a part of their body or themselves into a non-human and use that creature’s powers as if they are of the same species," Chairman Mao explained as if he were talking to a preschooler and Shen Yuan doesn’t mind.

Because it only means that Mao Huanlong didn’t think of him as an actual celestial fox spirit that possessed a human being!

A part of his secret may be exposed, but the very essence of his disguise was still secured!

"Well, regardless of what you want to do with your reawakened powers, I deemed the power of a nine-tailed fox useful in dealing with the terrorists. Hence, my offer still stands."

’And my answer is.—"

Chairman Mao quickly stopped the omega from saying anything. "Don’t! Don’t respond for now. Surprise me later in your press conference."

Not liking that he was talked over, Shen Yuan looked at the senior alpha male without any expression. "My answer may disappoint you, you know that."

Chairman Mao confidently shook his head, "I believe in parent’s love for their child."

The documents given to him flashed in his head, turning his head ugly, "With all due respect, I think I am starting to hate you now."

Chairman Mao turned his back and started walking to the door. "Please don’t hate me so much. You will call me boss in the future."

Shen Yuan only groaned in frustration. Laughingly, the senior alpha male looked back for the last time and left a friendly reminder, "Please fill out the form with great detail. That will serve as your resume—"

"With the last bit of respect, I am about to say the f-word."

"You are miles away from your husband’s prim and proper self. I like that!"

And the smiling Mao Huanlong left with a soft closing of the door.

Shen Yuan was alone and fuming in the recording room. "Dear Heavens, I am already in the mortal world, yet I still met an equally vexing creature like Qinglong!"

Left with no choice, Shen Yuan walked towards the huge supercomputer and inputted his information. The information of his powers shows that he is willing and less ghastly than an instant kill skill.

Meanwhile, Chairman Mao was silently walking his way towards the stadium. His head is full of thoughts about Shen Yuan and the unsolved mystery around him.

"Well, the fact that he manifested the traits of a fox spirit means that my initial assumption that Shen Yuan’s omega father is blood-related to the fallen Wei Family is correct. Only the Wei Family can use the power of the fox spirit given that they are the sole receiver spirit blood of the fox spirits," Mao Huanlong said to himself.

This is the only logical explanation for Shen Yuan’s new powers.

But why does that explanation feel lacking?

Mao Huanlong feels like he is missing a major point in his deduction, but he ultimately lets it go since worrying won’t solve anything.

The most important part is that he unearthed a hidden gem from one of the fallen families of the first generation of S-Class awakeners. They have the blood of sacred beings flowing in their veins, so they greatly help in the approaching upheaval.

All that is left is to test the power of Shen Yuan.

"Ahh! I sure hope I see something interesting from Shen Yuan. I specifically made the second test’s stage to make Shen Yuan stand out... But I hope I didn’t go overboard." Chairman Mao Huanlong said wishfully, but his lips were displaying a cunning smirk.

He devised the most grueling test for Shen Yuan afterall.
