Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The Chicken I s Foot is Exposed
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, Feng Qing’an couldn’t care less about the changes in Nangong’s expression. He felt clearly at this moment, the constant surge of demon qi flowing into his body, causing intense changes.
His short body was growing taller and becoming robust. Where he used to barely look at the girl at eye level, he could now look down upon her. Even his short bob of hair was growing rapidly.
In just a short time, the youthful boy was transformed into a stalwart young man. His eyes were bright, a hint of blue gleaming within, his dense black hair reaching down to his waist.
His clothing, which was somewhat loose for Feng Qing’an, stretched out due to his sudden growth spurt. If it were not for the excellent quality of his clothes, they might have burst from the drastic change. Yet, as it were, they clung tightly to his sturdy body.
“Incarnation technique!”
Feng Qing’an could feel the tame demon qi of the Ghost Wolf under his soul power control. He was experiencing the changes brought about by this inherently wild and brutal demon power.
He raised his hand, looking at his broad palm and his slender, powerful fingers. Particularly noteworthy were the sharp nails, shining coldly.
He seemed to have gained not just the Ghost Wolf’s demon qi but also its bloodline. The root secret technique of a beast master was far more outrageous than he could imagine.
“Hmm!”
Having adapted a little, he looked up at the surprised girl. He sniffed faintly, and he could smell everything in the room.
At this moment, Feng Qing’an was sure that he’d acquired part of the Ghost
Wolf’s boon this sharp sense of smell was far beyond what he used to have.
His sense of smell was now far better than it was before. Everything he used to consider as having a mild scent was now much stronger, and even some odors that he’d overlooked before could now be detected.
The girl, Nangong, had a faint, elegant fragrance about her. In Feng Qing’an’s perception, this scent was lush and fragrant but still comfortable to inhale, seemingly having a calming effect.
Nangong was normal. The real anomaly was that Feng Qing’an detected a scent in his room that shouldn’t be there.
Five-colored Brocade Chicken!
At this moment, with the full cooperation of the Black Mountain, Feng Qing’an, who had acquired its demon qi and even its bloodline, found the answer to his previous puzzle.
He figured out how the rooster had the potential to become a demon creature in such a short time without him intentionally enhancing it. And this potential was increasing at a fairly steady rate.
Now, the answer was obvious. The rooster had sneaked into his room more than once when he wasn’t paying attention and pecked at something related to him. The source was still him.
“I finally caught the chicken act red-handed!”
A smile appeared across Feng Qing’an’s face. He wasn’t too concerned about this chicken.
Although he found the chicken’s transformation weird, there were too many things for him to worry about every day, so he didn’t pay much attention to it. Yet now, the truth he wanted to explore naturally appeared before his eyes, without him having to do anything.
“Feng Qing’an, why do you smell like Black Mountain? And you even have its demon power!”
Looking at Feng Qing’an, who’d undergone drastic changes both inside and out, the girl Nangong couldn’t hold back her questions.
She’d never seen or heard of such a thing. She was aware that half-demons existed in this world, with human and demon qi intermingled. She also knew about humans who walked the path of demons due to certain reasons.
But Feng Qing’an was different from either of these. She was certain that Feng Qing’an carried pure human blood and had no demon blood. She’d also never seen him practice demon techniques.
The demon power and energy on him were all acquired abruptly, but for Nangong, who had been with him for a while, the source of this power was apparent.
“This is the secret technique I mentioned to you!” Feng Qing’an replied.
“Is this also a method based on the Soul Contract?”
The girl quickly connected the dots. “Yes, I need the cooperation of Black Mountain to obtain its power!”
“So, can you also drain my power?”
Her cheeks were blushing like blooming flowers, with an innocent romantic sense.
“I would need your consent and cooperation. If you’re not willing, I don’t think there’s much I can do.” replied Feng Qing’an.
In reality, however, he speculated that when the gap between the beastmaster and the creature is not huge, they need the creature’s assistance.
If the difference in strength reached a certain level, the Beast Master could ignore the creature’s wishes and forcibly extract its power. But if the gap were that huge, the extracted power wouldn’t be very useful—it would be rather mediocre.
‘Why didn’t you ask me? I could’ve cooperated with you too!”
The girl grumbled discontentedly.
“I’ve been with Black Mountain for nearly a year. It’s grown up alongside me. I know it better. We haven’t known each other for long. To borrow power, I need to be as familiar as possible with it. But I’ve never explored your power.” Feng Qing’an looked at the girl and explained helplessly.
“You could familiarize yourself with my power too. I never stopped you!”
“That’ll happen in due time.”
Feng Qing’an tried his best to placate the girl.
“Hmph!”
The girl looked disgruntled. Although she understood that Feng Qing’an cooperating with Black Mountain was the correct choice, she still felt uncomfortable. Feng Qing’an could have spent time getting to know her too. She could have cooperated as well, especially considering how close they had been.
“This is my first time attempting the secret technique and I have no idea how far I can go. So, I’d like to find a secluded spot, devoid of people, to get accustomed to it.”
“Where do you plan to do that?” she asked, craning her neck.
“In the mountains,” Feng Qing’an answered without hesitation.
Without testing, he was certain that his newfound power was too much for the courtyard to withstand. The Feng family mansion, one of the largest residences in the village, wouldn’t last long before turning into ruins should he choose to practice at home.
“In the mountains? Since you’ve got the power of Black Mountain, you should be able to see the rifts to the ghostly realm, too. Come with me into the ghostly realm. There’s nothing there, so you can test it out to your heart’s content without worrying about destroying anything. ”
The girl from the ghostly realm invited Feng Qing’an, who, under the influence of the demon power, could be said to have undergone fundamental changes both inside and out. After some thought, Feng Qing’an nodded and agreed.
The Mountain god was generous to him—perhaps it was best if he practiced in the ghostly realm!
