In just a short period of incense burning, events unfolded rapidly.
A large egg had just entered the shrunken belly of the Qilin.
As the Qilin lay there, its belly swollen, Li Guanyi poked at its stomach with a finger, each poke leaving a dent, laughing as he asked, "How is the recovery?"
The Qilin burped loudly.
The burp was a burst of fire, released into the air.
Patting its belly, it said, "Perfect!"
"The foundation still needs much work, but —"
It seemed to smile, its mouth curling amidst twirls of red flames and its eyes turning pure gold, slowly releasing an imposing aura that belonged to a creature in the top five of the Divine Beast List:
"Another fight, and then fleeing with you two, should be no problem!"
As this aura spread, the Little Qilin grinned broadly, bragging:
"Hunt me? Hmph, Grandpa Qilin will burn you all!"
It paused, as if for emphasis, and viciously slashed the air with its claw: "Burn you all!"
Then, it was suddenly flipped over by Li Guanyi.
