Chang Tian’s words were somewhat shocking, and Yang Kai didn’t know how to respond.
In his heart, he was naturally unwilling to agree. He had come to the Demon Territory for his own mission, and one day he would have to return to the Star Boundary. No matter how much Chang Tian disliked those Demon Saints, he was still a part of the Demon Territory. Sooner or later, the two of them would stand on opposite sides and become enemies. How could he agree to such a proposal?
So his first reaction was to wonder if Chang Tian had gone stupid or if he had some other purpose. Otherwise, why would he say such a thing? But after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that this was not the case. With Chang Tian’s current cultivation and status, there was no need for him to use such a method to deceive Yang Kai.
So the only possibility was that what Chang Tian said was true, and Yang Kai could feel his sincerity.
Just because he was half a member of his clan, he had to treat him so seriously? Wasn’t this a bit too hasty? This was the first time they had met, and they didn’t even know each other’s background. Was it really appropriate to be so sincere?
The twin sisters obviously had similar considerations, but because of Chang Tian’s prestige, they didn’t dare try to persuade him.
Just as Yang Kai was lost in his thoughts, Chang Tian suddenly said, “You don’t need to answer so quickly, you can think about it for a few more days before giving me an answer. During this time, you can take a look around the Hundred Spirit Continent. The Hundred Spirit Continent is the home of all the Holy Spirits, so no matter what you say, the Hundred Spirit Continent will not be your enemy, but if your Holy Spirit Body is exposed, who knows what the other Demon Saints will think?”
When Yang Kai heard this, he was shocked. Only now did he realize that in this Demon Territory, the Holy Spirits were an extremely special group, different from the ones in the Star Boundary. Because of the existence of the Hundred Spirit Continent and Chang Tian, the relationship between ordinary Demon Race and Holy Spirits wasn’t very good.
If the matter of his Dragon Clan’s bloodline were to be exposed, it would likely lead to some bad consequences.
Moreover… Yu Rumeng knew that he had the Dragon Race’s bloodline, he had once used the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique in front of her.
“Many thanks, Senior…” In any case, Yang Kai was relieved that Chang Tian didn’t force him to give an immediate answer.
Chang Tian laughed lightly and waved his hand.
The twin sisters who had been standing there all this time quickly rushed over and bowed, “What instructions does Sir have?”
Chang Tian looked at Yang Kai and said, “The Lian Sisters will accompany you. If you need anything, just tell them.”
When the two sisters heard this, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, as if they hadn’t expected Chang Tian to ask them to take care of Yang Kai. It seemed like he really valued Yang Kai a lot, otherwise how could he have allowed two Half-Saint masters to do such a thing? It seemed like Sir really wanted to raise this human as his future successor, so they didn’t dare be negligent and quickly agreed.
“Go,” Chang Tian waved his hand and closed his eyes.
Yang Kai’s heart was filled with doubts, but he couldn’t ask too many questions, so he could only suppress his confusion, stand up, bow to Chang Tian, and leave the cold and dark hall.
Outside the corridor, he saw the giant lion again, its imposing eyes staring down at Yang Kai from above, and as it passed by, its powerful voice rang out, “Boy, don’t disappoint Sir.”
It seemed like it knew what was happening inside, otherwise it wouldn’t have said such words.
Yang Kai’s footsteps paused for a moment before he turned around, cupped his fists, and flew off with the Lian Sisters.
Outside the castle was a series of mountains with strange rocks and waterfalls.
On a mountain peak a hundred kilometers away, there was a palace, the place where the Lian Sisters lived. Chang Tian had given Yang Kai to the two of them to take care of and had not made any specific arrangements, so the two sisters naturally had no choice but to bring him back.
On the way back, Yang Kai learned the names of the two sisters. The older sister was called Hei Lian while the younger sister was called Bai Lian. It was quite easy to remember. Their names must have something to do with the identity of the Holy Spirit, but Yang Kai couldn’t remember what kind of Holy Spirit matched them. [Hoogs: Direct translation to their name is Black Lotus and White Lotus.]
Even if he had something on his mind, he didn’t ask too much. After the Lian Sisters arranged for him to stay, they quickly disappeared, not knowing what they were doing.
After walking around the room for a while, Yang Kai still couldn’t understand what was happening today. Although the Lian Sisters residence wasn’t small, there didn’t seem to be any servants to order around. Instead, there were a large number of birds and beasts, some of them playing around, some of them crawling around the palace.
Quietly opening the window to take a look outside, he couldn’t see anyone. Instead, there was a strange beast that looked like a horse lying in the courtyard. It had a single horn on its head and its entire body was pitch black.
Yang Kai didn’t know where it came from, but at least he hadn’t seen it when he first arrived.
Seemingly having heard the sound of Yang Kai opening the window, this guy suddenly raised his head and looked over, then stood up straight and began snoring.
Yang Kai quickly raised a finger to his mouth, afraid that if he made too much noise, he would attract the attention of the Lian Sisters. However, it had to be said that after this fellow stood up, he looked even more majestic. He was three meters tall, and his four hooves had a golden ring around them, as if he was stepping on a golden flame. The horn on his forehead had a crescent white ring, and as he stood up, a fierce aura spread out.
Yang Kai suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as he realized that this black horse-like beast actually had extremely terrifying strength. With such a cultivation, even if it couldn’t transform into a human form, it must have some kind of intelligence. Seeing Yang Kai make such a gesture, it no longer made any noise and simply tilted its head to look at him.
Yang Kai looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he nimbly jumped out of the window and quietly walked out.
Although Chang Tian’s words were pleasant to hear and the Lian Sisters didn’t have any intention of monitoring him after bringing him here, whether this was true or not still needed to be verified, so he wanted to test them.
Coming to the courtyard, under the watchful eyes of the black horse, Yang Kai walked forward step by step, acting like a thief, causing the black horse’s eyes to fill with suspicion.
The Lian Sisters did not appear, so Yang Kai quickened his pace.
But soon, he felt a strong pulling force behind him, causing him to stumble and his clothes to tear.
Yang Kai’s face went black as he turned his head and saw that the black horse had actually used its mouth to bite his robe and was staring at him innocently with its large eyes. Yang Kai looked up at it and then down at his torn clothes and couldn’t help cursing.
The black horse obviously knew he had done something wrong, so it quickly let go of his robe and turned its head to the side, letting out a loud snore as if it had nothing to do with him.
“Shh!” Yang Kai cried out in alarm, pressing his hands down to calm it down.
Unexpectedly, not only did this beast ignore him, it instead became more excited. It was unknown if it was pretending to be crazy!
Damn it, you’ve cause trouble to me!
Sure enough, after this commotion, Yang Kai only heard a swishing sound before he felt two familiar auras behind him. Needless to say, these two auras belonged to the Lian Sisters.
“Wind Chaser, why are you here!” The voice of Hei Lian, rang out.
“What did you do to Wind Chaser?” Bai Lian immediately asked.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but roll his eyes, too lazy to bother with her, but judging from her tone, this beast seemed to be quite important, otherwise Bai Lian wouldn’t be so nervous.
Seeing the appearance of the Lian Sisters, this black horse named Wind Chaser no longer showed any signs of madness. Instead, he quickly walked up to them and lowered his head to rub against them. Hei Lian reached out to stroke its soft fur and smiled, “I understand, it’s not your fault.”
Not knowing what she 'understand', Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling somewhat guilty.
In the next moment, Hei Lian turned around and smiled at Yang Kai, “You want to go out?”
Yang Kai coughed lightly, “Senior told me to take a look around the Hundred Spirit Continent a while ago, so I was planning to experience the scenery of the Hundred Spirit Continent.” In any case, since Chang Tian had said so, he could only push the blame onto him.
“Good,” Hei Lian smiled meaningfully, as if she could see through Yang Kai’s heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, truly annoying, “I can’t guarantee anything else, but the Hundred Spirit Continent’s scenery is incomparable to the other continents. I believe that after staying here for so long, you will definitely like this place.”
Only a ghost would like this place! Yang Kai coldly snorted in his heart and asked, “Do you two want to come together?”
“If you don’t mind,” Hei Lian smiled lightly.
I mind, I really mind!
Suddenly, Wind Chaser began to snore again, and the Lian Sisters all turned to look at him in shock. Hei Lian asked with a strange expression, “Are you sure you want to do this?”
Wind Chaser turned around and walked towards Yang Kai, arriving next to him in just a few steps before rub his head.
It had to be said that this guy’s strength was really great. With just a simple push, Yang Kai felt as if he had been hit by a giant rock and almost suffered some internal injuries. He quickly dodged and looked at Hei Lian, “What does it mean?”
This was a bit strange. Logically speaking, with Wind Chaser's strength, he should have been able to take human form and gain sentience long ago, but it seemed like he was born with some kind of defect. Although he could understand human language, he couldn’t speak.
Whether it was in the Star Boundary or the Demon Territory, this kind of thing was not new. Many mutated beasts were like this, only able to maintain their beast forms for the rest of their lives.
Hei Lian’s expression became a bit strange, “Wind Chaser wants you to ride it, it wants to show you the scenery of the Hundred Spirit Continent.”
Yang Kai turned his head to look at Wind Chaser and then at Hei Lian, wanting to ask if this was a joke, but seeing Hei Lian's serious expression, he immediately knew that this was not a joke, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “There’s no need for that.”
At the very least, he was a Second-Order Emperor Realm, so his ability to fly was there, why would he need to ride a mount? En, if he was riding this guy, it did look quite majestic.
“Brat, don’t be ungrateful!” Bai Lian suddenly shouted coldly.
Yang Kai subconsciously shrank his neck, but when he remembered Chang Tian’s previous instructions, he immediately hardened his resolve and glared at Bai Lian, “What are you shouting about? Did I owe you money or something? Since we met, you’ve been speaking so harshly. Hey, you dare to glare at me? I’m talking about you. If you glare at me again, I’ll dig your eyes out!”
