Douluo: This soul master has a little bit of luck

Chapter 183 Qi Lin: I've become a Qilin?

Ling Ying, who was hiding in the shadows, also came to her senses and looked at Qi Lin, who had once again appeared in Xun'er's boudoir without warning, with shock in her eyes.

He still didn't detect the slightest spatial fluctuation at the spot where Qi Lin had suddenly appeared.

Besides, even after eleven years, Qi Lin's appearance remained completely unchanged.

However, the aura emanating from him was clearly not that of an old monster who possessed the art of preserving his youth and reversing aging.

What exactly is going on!

Over the years, because Qi Lin had not appeared for a long time, he had followed the young lady's instructions to inquire about Qi Lin's whereabouts in the Jia Ma Empire and nearby countries, but he had found nothing and there was no such person at all.

He was so mysterious, it was as if he appeared out of thin air.

On the other side, upon seeing Qi Lin again, Xiao Xun'er was wide awake. She took his hand and sat on the bed, then began to chat with him endlessly.

If any member of the Xiao family were to see Xiao Xun'er, so lively and talkative, they would probably be astonished.

Because in their impression, Xiao Xun'er was very aloof, indifferent, and taciturn.

Although he appears very polite to everyone, there is a strong sense of aloofness beneath that politeness.

In fact, Xiao Xun'er didn't know why, but when she faced Qi Lin, who was so much like a person with a biased view of her, she couldn't help but want to get close to him.

The two of them had only known each other for less than a day back then, but now a full eleven years have passed.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xun'er couldn't help but lower her head slightly to look at the ice-blue Qilin jade pendant hanging on her chest, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Perhaps it was because this jade pendant had accompanied him for eleven years in place of his brother Qi Lin.

This way, she no longer has to curl up in bed and let her little pearls fall like she did when she was a child.

Xiao Xun'er smiled sincerely and said, "Brother Qi Lin, thank you for the Qilin jade pendant you gave me back then. It is the most precious gift I have received over the years, and it is also my favorite gift."

Qi Lin was slightly taken aback, thinking of the little girl he had seen yesterday, and subconsciously reached out to touch Xiao Xun'er's head.

"nice! You love it!"

As if she could feel the warmth emanating from Qi Lin's palm, Xiao Xun'er's cheeks flushed slightly.

Afterwards, Xiao Xun'er and Qi Lin talked a lot, mostly about her experiences over the years. She talked about Xiao Yu, one of the few people in the Xiao family she could talk to, the books and ancient scrolls she had read over the years, and the delicious food and desserts she liked.

Besides these, she would also act like a little girl, with a hint of resentment, saying that if she had known she would see Qi Lin again eleven years later, she should have held onto him and prevented him from leaving.

Finally, Xiao Xun'er also mentioned Xiao Yan, asking Qi Lin if he remembered the guy who was knocked unconscious when he first appeared in this room.

Qi Lin naturally remembered.

Then Xiao Xun'er recounted how Xiao Yan was dumped at his father Xiao Zhan's door by Ling Ying. Later, when his attempt to sneak into his room was exposed, Xiao Zhan hung him up and beat him for a whole day, making him howl in pain.

It was also said that Xiao Yan had good talent, but unfortunately he contracted a strange disease and his strength dropped all the way to the third level of Dou Qi. Even Ling Ying couldn't figure out what disease he had.

Then Qi Lin heard Xiao Xun'er mention that Xiao Yan had been jilted by Nalan Yanran a few days earlier.

Hearing this, Qi Lin still seemed a little regretful.

It's a pity I missed that iconic moment!
Time passed quickly, and dawn broke again. Qi Lin had to go back. There were still two matches today between the Tianshui Team and the Tiandou Team, and he naturally had to be there to watch them.

Upon learning that Qi Lin was leaving again, Xiao Xun'er's eyes immediately showed reluctance.

"Why are you leaving again so soon, Brother Qi Lin? You left in such a hurry last time, and it's been eleven years since then. Can't you stay here and spend more time with Xun'er?"

"Or, Brother Qi Lin could tell Xun'er where you live?"

Seeing Xiao Xun'er's expectant eyes, Qi Lin smiled and said, "Xun'er, your brother lives a bit far away, but I promise you this time that I will come to see you often in the future. I guarantee that the accident will not happen again like last time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly, but finally said, "Alright then, Brother Qi Lin, if you don't keep your promise this time, Xun'er will stop talking to you." Qi Lin rubbed her head.

"Don't worry, I promise!"

"Next time my brother comes, we'll stay here a little longer."

“It’s a deal!” Xiao Xun’er’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"A word is settled!"

"Next time you come, Xun'er must treat your brother with the utmost hospitality!"

Xiao Xun'er nodded seriously, because from Qi Lin's tone, she could sense that he wasn't just saying it casually.

Seeing this, Qi Lin smiled and said, "Then I'll be going now."

After saying that, he had a thought and his figure disappeared from the room again.

Watching his disappearing figure, Xiao Xun'er muttered, "Brother Qi Lin is still so mysterious, appearing and disappearing without a trace."

Then she called out into the shadows.

"Old Ling, have you noticed anything?"

Ling Ying appeared and said with a wry smile, "Miss, even eleven years ago I couldn't see through this Young Master Qi Lin, let alone now, but..."

Ling Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and told Xiao Xun'er her guess.

"Miss, I suspect that Young Master Qi Lin is not human!"

After listening to Ling Ying's words, Xiao Xun'er did not show any surprise on her face, but said, "Elder Ling suspects that Brother Qi Lin is a demon beast in human form?"

Ling Ying said, "It's not impossible. I've heard that there's a herb in the world called Transformation Grass, which is one of the main ingredients of Transformation Pill. Beasts that eat Transformation Grass can also transform into human form."

"However, the Transformation Herb is not a Transformation Pill after all. After taking it, one's physical appearance will be fixed and it will be difficult to develop normally."

Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly; in fact, she had the same thought.

"But Elder Ling, if Brother Qi Lin were a transformed magical beast, what kind of magical beast would he be?"

Ling Ying stroked his beard and smiled, "Young Master Qi Lin's mastery of space is something even I can't match, so at first I suspected that he was from the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, one of the three great families of the Beast Domain. After all, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has a unique talent in spatial power."

"But when I think of the jade pendant with the unicorn that Young Master Qi Lin gave to Miss, and Young Master Qi Lin's name, perhaps the answer is right in front of us."

"Young Master Qi Lin's true form is probably a Qilin!"

After listening, Xiao Xun'er nodded.

"Over the years I have read many ancient books, but I have never seen any description or record of the Qilin, a magical beast. Could it be that this race originated from ancient times?"

Ling Ying sighed and said, "Perhaps. After all, countless races have disappeared into the long river of history since ancient times. Even ancient celestial serpents and seven-colored swallowing pythons have their day of extinction. Perhaps the Qilin is one of them, but no one knows."

"Otherwise, how could Young Master Qi Lin's name be such a coincidence as being a homophone for Qilin?"

"It is likely that Young Master Qi Lin chose this name to commemorate his clan."

Xiao Xun'er nodded in deep agreement, her eyes slightly reddening.

"Brother Qi Lin is all alone now. He must have been very lonely all these years."

"But it doesn't matter. With Xun'er by his side, Brother Qi Lin will never feel lonely."

(The word "Qilin" is not mentioned at all in the entire Battle Through the Heavens, so it is assumed that there is no Qilin in Battle Through the Heavens.)
