Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Big Cousin of the Lion Tribe Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Big Cousin of the Lion Tribe “Isn’t this the rule in your industry?” Cheng Guodong insisted on pushing the check across.

“That’s their rule, what does it have to do with me?”

Seeing him frown, Qin Xin hurriedly stopped Cheng Guodong from pushing the check again, lowering his voice, “You still don’t know his style, he’s different from those Feng Shui masters we met in private!”

Cheng Guodong had no choice but to give up the attempt to force the money.

Qin Xin spoke up, “Since you’re willing to give us these two red cloth packages, it seems you intend to convey something to us, right?”

Ma Ming smiled, “I like dealing with smart people.”

As he said that, he turned to look at Qin Xin, surprisingly not even giving Cheng Guodong a glance.

Cheng Guodong: “…” Are you saying I’m a fool who you don’t want to deal with?

“Master, are the beasts on the painting truly our past lives?”

Ma Ming nodded, “Yesterday, I had the two children tell me a few stories. Little Taotie told The Ugly Duckling, and Hua Jinyan talked about Nvwa creating humans and Pangu splitting the heavens and the earth.”

Cheng Guodong and Qin Xin exchanged glances, both utterly confused.

Curious why I brought this up?” Ma Ming said playfully, “What I’m about to tell you might sound like fairy tales or myths out of Arabian Nights to you.”

“We’ll believe you, since we asked you to tell us, we won’t doubt you.” Cheng Guodong quickly stated.

Qin Xin nodded, “Whatever you say, I’ll believe.”

“Alright then, listen up, this is quite an interesting story.”

Ma Ming took a sip of tea and suddenly laughed with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, “By the way, I also have an alter ego as a storyteller.”

Cheng Guodong: “…”

Qin Xin: “…”

“Alright, I’ll stop teasing you.”

“At the dawn of the universe, every newly born planet was more like an egg placed in the darkness. Some of them incubated life, like the planet you are now on, where Pangu wielded his axe to split the Chaos, creating heaven and earth, self-sacrificing to give rise to a world teeming with life.”

“But not all planets hatched great divine beings like Pangu. Some birthed fierce beasts like Taotie, born from Chaos, devouring Chaos. It swallowed its entire planet and still could not be sated, beginning to devour other planets, becoming a common enemy. I won’t go into details about how many tried to deal with it, but I will tell you that it was eventually suppressed in the Lion Tribe, guarded by them generation after generation.”

The two listened quietly, not interrupting, even though they were both puzzled as to why this story was being told to them.

Ma Ming pointed at the red cloth package in Cheng Guodong’s hand and slowly said, “The lion in here is from the Lion Tribe, who guard the fierce beast Taotie.”

“Hua Jinyan said that my sister and I were also siblings in a past life?” Cheng Guodong asked softly.

“Oh? It seems he…” remembered quite a lot.

Ma Ming said nothing about Hua Jinyan but continued speaking about Cheng Guodong’s past life.

“Taotie was suppressed within the Lion Tribe yet had a degree of freedom. Unexpectedly, after its transformation, it captivated the Little Princess of the Lion Tribe. In no time, they gave birth to a little fierce beast bearing the bloodline of both the Lion Tribe and Taotie.” Ma Ming glanced meaningfully at Qin Xin, “Smart man, it’s not hard to guess who that little fierce beast is, right?”

Testing the waters, Qin Xin asked, “Is it my sister?”

Ma Ming nodded, pointing at Cheng Guodong, “Your father was the elder brother of the Little Princess.”

So, in a past life, Cheng Guodong was the little fierce beast’s elder cousin.

Qin Xin touched the red cloth package in his hand and asked, “What about me then? What relation do I have to them?”
