Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Anomaly (1)_1

"I didn’t leave, I..." Little Baiqiu glanced at Dugu Qianye and said, "I wanted to leave, but I was scared, so I came back. Wuu wuu, they are catching me everywhere, I don’t want to be caught, don’t want to be eaten. Wuu wuu, I don’t want to be hungry either, wuu wuu, I am scared..."

Dugu Qianye stared at Little Baiqiu for a full minute before she walked over, picked up its round body, and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of its eyes.

"I don’t know why you are following us, nor do I know what might happen because of you."

"Keke, I can bite people, I’ll help you bite anyone who bullies you," Little Baiqiu said.

Although Little Baiqiu was young and didn’t understand a lot of things, like why people wanted to catch it or why Keke, who used to be nice to it, now wanted to eat it, it knew what others were thinking and could tell who were the good and bad people. If Dugu Qianye had ever thought of catching or eating it, it would have run away long ago. It was very fast, so even though it had been discovered many times, it always managed to escape.

"Hehe, with your tiny arms and legs, you’d probably get swatted away before you even reached them," Dugu Qianye laughed, amused by Little Baiqiu’s bravado.

"I am very powerful!" Little Baiqiu, seeing Dugu Qianye didn’t believe it, raised its little paws and said.

Dugu Qianye watched Little Baiqiu but didn’t say a word. If it were powerful, it wouldn’t be chased around like this without even having food. However, whether powerful or not, at this moment, it was just a Little Baiqiu, a crybaby and timid yet cute Little Baiqiu.

Seeing that Dugu Qianye still didn’t believe it, Little Baiqiu closed its eyes in frustration, I really am very powerful, hmph hmph, you don’t believe me, later I’ll scare you to death, scare you to death.

"Little Baiqiu, what’s your name?" Dugu Qianye asked casually, laying down on the bed while holding Little Baiqiu.

"I am called Qiuqiu, Keke," Little Baiqiu said, seeing that Dugu Qianye was interested in it again.

"Qiuqiu?" Dugu Qianye laughed, it really was a ball. "Qiuqiu, what kind of Phantom Beast are you? Have you always been on this little island?"

"I don’t know," Qiuqiu said, tears welling up in its eyes again, but not falling, "I don’t know what kind of Phantom Beast I am, I don’t have any kin, and I’ve been here since I woke up."

Sigh, running into such a little thing at such a sensitive time, it was hard to tell if it was a blessing or a curse. Thinking of the road ahead, Dugu Qianye still planned to let it go when the opportunity arose.

Feeling Dugu Qianye’s thoughts, Qiuqiu’s tear ducts burst again, leaving her speechless. She reached out to wipe its tears but was bitten in return.

Hiss—

Dugu Qianye wasn’t expecting to be bitten like this, and blood flowed from her finger. Qiuqiu sucked the blood and instantly, the rules of heaven and earth descended.

Unlike previous contracts, this time the light wasn’t silver-white, but multi-colored. The light surrounded both person and beast as the contract was established! Before she could react, the colorful light all poured into Dugu Qianye’s body, her Phantom Power surged through her meridians, racing towards her Dantian, and finally plunged into it. Her Phantom Power then broke through from Phantom Ancestor Level 8 to Level 9, to Phantom Emperor Level 1, and soared up to Phantom Emperor Level 2 before it stopped.

Then all of Dugu Qianye’s Phantom Beasts came out of the Refining Demon Pot, each shrouded in upgrading light, turning night into day! Xiaohuo jumped up 2 levels, Qingluan advanced 1 level, both reaching Super Divine Beast status! Lan Mei advanced 4 levels to Super Divine Beast, Xiaojiu to Level 9 Divine Beast, Hei Feng to Level 9 Divine Beast, Xiaoyin to Level 6 Divine Beast, Liehuo to Level 5 Divine Beast.

But Little Baiqiu had no reaction at all, looking dazedly at the empty space becoming crowded with their true forms, dumbly watching them level up, dumbly witnessing everything it had caused.

The Phantom Beasts that had surrounded the small island all went into an uproar, causing the sea water to churn into hundred-meter-high waves, even triggering a tsunami. The sea water ceaselessly battered the island, making it feel as if the entire island were shaking. The cries of the Phantom Beasts filled the entire sea surface.

The tsunami spread towards the small island, but it was halted by some invisible force ten kilometers away from reaching the island, unable to advance an inch. Eventually, it grew taller and taller, forming a several hundred meters high water wall, as if it intended to encircle the island completely.

"What’s going on?"

Mo Chi and the others were resting, dumbstruck by Dugu Qianye’s sudden advancement. After the advancement was complete, they were stunned by the uproar of the Sea Phantom Beasts. And later, they were dumbfounded by the hundred-meter-high water wall.

The island’s inhabitants were paralyzed with fear by the sudden phenomena, many of them spilling into the streets, with the more cowardly ones clinging to each other for comfort.

"My God, has the Divine Master abandoned us?"

"Could it be that we’ve made some mistake?"

"Is it because we harbored ill intentions towards Qiuqiu? Divine Master, please forgive us!"

Seeing the sea water surrounding the island and the several hundred meters high waves looming like a giant mouth ready to swallow them alive, the island’s inhabitants were terrified out of their wits. The devout followers of the Divine Master even wondered if they had done something wrong, if they had been abandoned by their great Divine Master.

Radiant colors shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire Phantom Sea Domain; everyone’s gaze was drawn towards the source of the pillar of light, astonished by whatever mystical power it was.

The Shen Xingzong stood on the altar, looking at the pillar of light and feeling like it was the Sacred Fire from the dark world, illuminating the endless darkness of the night. Yet this was not what he wished to see.

"Go check," he said to the air.

"Bang—"

In some world, within a lavish room, a slender hand crushed the glass it was holding.

"It actually made a contract with a human?! Did those useless wretches fail to capture it? Worthless!" The cold words drifted from the room, laced with uncontrollable anger. "Go find it! If you can’t bring it back, don’t bother returning!"

Dugu Qianye, not having the time to revel in his new surge of strength, picked up the frightened Little Baiqiu and said, "We’re too close to the sea shore; it’d be troublesome if the Phantom Beasts come ashore. Let’s leave for now and head towards the island center." After speaking, Dugu Qianye stored his Contract Beast in the Refining Demon Pot and, along with Mo Chi and the others, mounted Qingluan and flew towards the island’s center.

Dugu Qianye and the others were carried by Qingluan to the center of the small island, descending upon a mountaintop. Along the way, they witnessed the island’s creatures disturbed by the rampage of the Sea Phantom Beasts, causing the entire island to be in a state of unrest—a Phantom Beast would cry out here, a Dark Beast would start a fight there. The whole island was already in chaos.

"What do you have to say?" Dugu Qianye lifted Little Baiqiu by its neck so they were eye to eye, he asked.

With its stubby limbs involuntarily drawing in, Little Baiqiu gazed weakly into Dugu Qianye’s eyes and said meekly, "I don’t know, wuu wuu, it’s so scary!"

Dugu Qianye, knowing he wouldn’t get any more information out of Little Baiqiu, gave up. Looking at the water walls surrounding the island and listening to the fluctuating cries of the Sea Phantom Beasts, Dugu Qianye felt that Little Baiqiu remained a mystery.
