Chapter 064: This Won’t Do
“Isn’t it normal to have two Dharma Images?” Qin Gou looked at Li Yuanzhen and Ao Banwei and asked seriously, “Right?”
“Very normal.”
“The Multi-Treasure Sacred Body and such are considered the most common physiques in the Cultivation World…”
For a moment, Ao Banwei clutched her conscience, while the Little Gambler wished she could pull out her Invisible Slash and stab it into a nearby tree to serve as a lightning rod.
“Does Qin Gou take me for a three-year-old child? So easily fooled?” Xie Yu’s dark eyebrows furrowed with worry, and she pouted in dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Qin Gou’s gaze drifted. It wasn’t that he didn’t dare to meet her eyes, but rather that he was desperately trying to suppress a laugh.
Even when discussing Dharma Images, one shouldn’t overpraise themselves.
A silly girl, only a few months old, refusing to be treated as a three-year-old child – what a thought.
“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. The big guy with white feathers you mentioned is named ‘Divine Feather,’ and he’s been my Old Pal for many years.”
“Divine Feather? Why is his name so similar to mine?” Xie Yu asked, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
“How should I know? Perhaps it’s fate,” Qin Gou said with a gentle smile. “Divine Feather has accompanied me for many years, and Xie Yu, you’ve saved my life before. You even deliberately didn’t absorb my lifespan and took the reward you deserved. You are both highly respected comrades of mine, Qin Gou.”
Hearing this, Xie Yu was slightly stunned. Qin Gou thought she was moved by his heartfelt words, unaware that the Wench had held back for a long time before blurting out, “Am I not your Treasure?”
“Ahem, ahem, ahem.”
Qin Gou rubbed his nose and chuckled, “Yes, yes, yes. At the same time, you are also my companion, my comrade, and not merely some kind of killing spell.” Then, Qin Gou skillfully added, “A charming companion.”
“Don’t, don’t always say such mushy things. Actually, I don’t particularly like hearing them,” Xie Yu’s fair little face immediately flushed with a tender and beautiful blush, like rosy clouds in the sky. She slightly lowered her head, her gaze sweetly fixed on her own bare little feet. Even the pitch-black Phoenix tail feathers behind her began to beat against the ground like a little deer’s panicked heart. These cute and innocent little actions formed a stark and explosive contrast with her alluring and enchanting appearance and her stunningly curvy figure.
Even with all this, she still claimed not to like it? Old Qin seriously suspected that this Wench would eventually be fooled by a scoundrel and truly needed someone like him to take good care of her.
“But Qin Gou, can you let Divine Feather Dharma Image come out? I want to get to know him properly.”
“You’re not angry anymore?”
“I wasn’t angry from the start, was I? Do I seem like that kind of very willful fellow?” Xie Yu blinked her enchanting azure eyes and said gently.
Qin Gou’s mouth twitched fiercely. She was very willful, but also extremely easy to coax.
However, compared to Xie Yu, Divine Feather was not a growth-type Dharma Image; it couldn’t speak human language, and its spiritual intelligence was limited to a bit of combat instinct. If it came to beating Xie Yu, it would definitely be good at it, but friendly communication was really beyond its capabilities.
Thinking this, Qin Gou, now completely in a pampering-child mindset, suddenly stomped on the ground. Behind him, a colossal giant that supported the heavens and earth stood majestically. He tried his best to restrain his terrifying aura, so as not to accidentally cause the Little Gambler and Little White Dragon to feel strong pressure and discomfort.
Xie Yu remained her normal size and looked up, saying, “Big guy, I’m Xie Yu, also Qin Gou’s Dharma Image.”
As Qin Gou expected, Divine Feather remained motionless and silent like a high mountain, showing no intention of responding at all. Qin Gou immediately and without hesitation secretly controlled Divine Feather to make several hand gestures.
“Qin Gou, what’s wrong with him?” Xie Yu’s watery eyes were filled with confusion.
“Although Divine Feather has a little spiritual intelligence, it cannot speak,” Qin Gou said with a faint smile. “This is sign language. Its meaning is… it’s very honored to meet you, Xie Yu. You are the most spiritually graceful and captivating Dharma Image it has ever seen in its life! It’s very happy that you can also become my Dharma Image, because then, it will never have to be enemies with such a cute Xie Yu… Also, you can just call it ‘Big White’ from now on.”
Xie Yu was astonished, “He just moved his fingers, and he really said all that at once?”
“Sign language is profound and extensive!” Qin Gou said earnestly.
“Is that so?” Xie Yu’s eyes were full of joy. She smiled sweetly at Divine Feather, “Thank you, Big White. You can call me ‘Little Black’ in the future too! Just use a gesture to represent the words ‘Little Black.’ I will definitely remember that gesture. By the way, Divine Feather, do you want to eat a big snake? I sensed one nearby. Shall I go catch one for you now?”
After speaking, Xie Yu looked at Qin Gou with a pleading gaze.
Qin Gou chuckled and nodded in agreement. Xie Yu immediately set off with cheerful steps, rushing into the forest with great energy.
This was what Qin Gou admired and worried about most in Xie Yu. As long as someone gave her some respect, this Wench would almost want to give her heart to you.
Watching Xie Yu leave, Little White Dragon took a deep breath and said, “This is a growth-type Dharma Image. Xie Yu is no different from a living girl.”
Li Yuanzhen nodded in agreement and said with a gentle smile, “Moreover, Qin’s way of interacting with his Dharma Images is completely different from other Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators.”
“How is it different?” Qin Gui asked.
“To put it simply, others and their Dharma Images have a relationship like master and tool. But Qin and Xie Yu… they are like an innocent girl and her kind old father.”
…
“Finally home!”
Emerging from the Ribbon space, Qiu Qianyue opened her arms and took a deep breath of the fragrant air of Arc-Moon Mountain. She smiled charmingly at Qin Gou, “Master, this Wench is going back to her own cave to take a look.”
“Go ahead,” Qin Gou nodded slightly. “Don’t keep those certain picture books hidden under your bed. Remember to find a safer place.”
Qiu Qianyue’s footsteps stopped, and her face turned red. “Master, how do you know…”
“What doesn’t your Master know?” Qin Gou shook his head speechlessly.
Just then, Xie Yu returned to everyone’s sight, with a big green snake as thick as an adult’s thigh in her arms. Her little feet were bare, and she was running back with great spirit, “Qin Gou, where did Big White go?”
“He…”
“What a beautiful girl!”
Suddenly, the Debt Girl’s peach blossom eyes shone brightly. She casually pushed aside her bangs and walked towards Xie Yu with a smile, “Little sister, do you even know how to walk?”
“What?” Xie Yu was bewildered.
“How could you, all of a sudden, fall right into big sister’s heart?”
“You…”
Qin Gou’s face turned deathly pale with fright. He abruptly grabbed Qiu Qianyue by the back of her neck and gritted his teeth, “This won’t do, absolutely not! Remember, you’re not allowed to go within a meter of Xie Yu from now on, or your Master will beat you until you cry!”
