Chapter 423 - Ancient Blood III

"Okay – okay I'm listening" Lory shove Zhao Li Xin's face from her neck "Li Xin, stop it!"

Zhao Li Xin ignores her and so he rests his chin on the top of Lory's head, while Lory pulls the little cub on her c.h.e.s.t, now they look like totem pole when listening to Girsha seriously. It's hard to take them seriously when they acted like that but Girsha is too tired to bother them and so he sighs [Fine…..]

"This child has the same smell as the library, at first I didn't realize it because the scent around the library is very faint so I didn't tell you, but then I smell the same scent from this little cub I convince something is inside the old library"

"You can speak!!" Zhao Li Xin surprised.

"Ancestor, you can speak this world language?" Huo Long also stunned.

"Of course…" Girsha staring at them as if they were stupid.

Zhao Li Xin never heard Girsha voice, most of the time they only saw Lory speak the weird language and Girsha chirping alongside with her, he doesn't know how Lory communicated to each other he guessed they use telepathic to talk to each other which is not weird, some high-level contractual beast communicated this way with their master.

He thought Girsha unable to speak with other humans other than Lory, the truth is he has no clue what Girsha is, Lory never explains it clearly and he never probes her too much. Only one thing is certain, Girsha is Lory protector he knew Lory more than him and he will never harm her, for that reason Zhao Li Xin never probes their past.

"She just being arrogant" Lory explains while rolling her eyes "If I can learn the language then how could this old birdie can't understand it? that would make him…stupid"

"You dare to call me stupid, girl" Girsha glare at Lory.

"Duh,-" she carelessly replies.

"Ancestor, what do you smell around the library" Huo Long didn't care how Girsha behavior is, isn't people said the older you get the more eccentric you become and this ancestor is very-very old.

"There's something inside the library, something powerful, it's been a while since I recognize such power" Girsha muters as his eyes glint with curiosity and excitement.

"Is it evil?" Lory got anxious because of the existence of Demon parasites.

Girsha shakes his little head "No, it didn't feel like that….it feel different, it feel so faint I can't be sure" Girsha let out a long heaved.

"The Shadow Tiger chief did ask me to deliver the cub into the library, it must be something to do with this cub," said Zhao Li Xin.

"Oh well, there's nothing we can do here, let's bring this little one to that woman and see what happened" Lory rub the tiger paw feeling reluctant to apart.

On the residence of Nan family, the maidservant came to Nan Yu Qi room "Young Miss, master Lu is here"

Nan Yu Qi put down her embroidery on the table and her eyes brimmed with joy "He's faster than I thought" she smiles happily. Shadow tiger is not easy to find and even harder to subdued because not only they are ferocious beast but also quite intelligent especially the high-level one. She thought it's going to take weeks for Lu Xin to accomplice the jo but who knows in less than a week he can complete his task, it seems his potential is greater than she thought.

"I'll meet him in the main garden and called our family Beastmaster"

"Yes, Young Miss!" the maidservants bow before she left.

The other maids help nan yu Qi to add more layer on her dress "Congratulation young miss, you finally get a hand on the shadow tiger" the maid is Nan Yu Qi personal maids, she has been served her for five years so he knew how obsessed Nan yu Qi is with the shadow tiger.

Nan Yu Qi is in great moods, she can stop smiling. If not because she concern with her own image she would run to the garden to see the shadow tiger with her own eyes. She grew up with the story about Shadow tiger who was ruled the mountain, the most powerful among them is live on the top of the snowy mountain, no one can beat that powerful beast for centuries until Xie Zhen the ancestor of Xie family subdue the beast and create Sacred Mountain peak society.

Although Xie Zhen feel pity losing a powerful beast as his servant he can give the beast chance to retaliated and so he with his subordinated slaughter the whole tribes, the shadow beast supposed to be extinct but fifty a go someone sees the young shadow Tiger near the frozen lake, many people try to catch the shadow tiger but all of them end up shredded thousand pieces by the ferocious beast, since then many people try to catch the beast but they never saw the beast again and some people who actually saw the beast, they were all end up dead.

Such strong, powerful and elusive beast, it's normal for anyone to become obsessed with them, Nan yu Qi could already imagine how people would envy her, even her position and reputation will rise tremendously if she gets a hand on the shadow tiger, she can't wait to see everyone stare at her with a green face. Nan Yu Qi can't help but smirked when she imagined it.

In the garden, Zhao Li Xin leans on the pavilion pole while crossing his arms on the c.h.e.s.t and looking down as if he was sleeping.his behavior is somewhat rude, Nan Yu Qi maid wants to reprimand him but Nan Yu Qi raises her hand to stop her maid. She didn't feel offended on contrary she was amused, she used to be surrounded by people who tried curry her favor but Lu Xin is not the same, he maintains his dignity by showing his ability, she can't help to admire him a little.

Zhao Li Xin opens her eyes and their gaze meet, Nan Yu Qi heart thump when his dark eyes stare deeply to her eyes, she immediately averts her gaze. Zhao Li Xin didn't realize the subtle change in Nan Yu Qi's face. he cupped his fist politely "Miss Nan"

Nan Yu Qi walks past him then she takes a seat inside the pavilion "You bring the Shadow tiger?" she directly asked.

Zhao Li Xin move away slightly and the little cub came from behind his legs, Nan Yu Qi widened her eyes excitedly, she beckoned Zhao li Xin to bring the little beast toward her. Zhao Li Xin put the little cub on the table in front of Nan Yu Qi, she raised her hand as she tries to touch the cub but the flashed of greed in Nan Yu Qi eyes make the little cub uncomfortable, he refused to be touch by her and run on the end of the table.

"This…." Nan Yu Qi face becomes dark, the little beast dares to reject her touch she feel overly upset.

"This beast needs to be tamed first," Zhao Li Xin said with an indifferent expression.

Zhao Li Xin didn't try to comfort Nan Yu Qi nor he gives a little concern to her, his cold attitude lower her mood. She didn't know why but she feel a pang in her heart "Where's the beast master?" she scolded her maid.

The maid was fl.u.s.tered fortunately the other maid has come with a middle-aged man behind her "There he comes, young miss!" the maid smiles in relief.

"Greetings young Miss," said the beastmaster.

"I need you to settle contract between me with this beast" Nan Yu Qi throw a clod glare to the little cub. Once the tiger under the power of contract he could never disobey her anymore.

The beastmaster was dumbfounded "This…this is shadow tigers, young miss how could you find it?" the beastmaster eyes fixed on the little cub, shadow tigers is overprotective with their cubs, the whole tribes will fight relentlessly for the safety of a single cub, he didn't know if this a good or a bad idea to steal the shadow tiger cub.

"Don't worry after we created a master-servant contract, the shadow tiger tribes will not hurt me" she smugly smiles but she is right, the tribes will not hurt her for the sake of their kin but too bad Nan Yu Qi oblivious with Zhao Li Xin plan.

Zhao Li Xin face remains placid, he watched them with indifferent gaze, the little tiger glance at Zhao Li Xin although he scared with this man, but he believes the decision of the tribes chief and also that kind beautiful lady both of them told him to trust this man and so he would.

The Beastmaster becomes excited, which means they would have a chance to control the shadow tiger. The reason they painstakingly try to get Shin Jiu 'the blessed child' is exactly because of this not only for creating the army of the beast but also to subdue the shadow tigers tribe, even though everything will get easier if they have the blessed child but for now this is can work too.

"The leader of the Society will rejoice because of this!" the beastmaster gratified for the possible great outcome.

Nan Yu Qi smiles calmly after her name will rose to leap and bound she believe she would become the next holy Lady and no one would compare her with Nan Yu Wei anymore.

"Star the contract!" she cued the beastmaster.
