Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1593 - 1597: An Unexpected Little One

"Hehe, three conditions, I haven't come up with them yet. If I ever need your help, I'll let you know in my own way. Hmm, I haven't set a date for the three conditions, is that alright?"

Qin Tian scratched his head, unable to think of any way Dragon Soul could help him right now, so he simply decided to keep this opportunity for the future.

Dragon Soul nodded, "As long as your requests aren't excessive, you can find me anytime in the future. The Dragon Clan's word is their bond."

As Dragon Soul spoke, she had already turned around, heading out of the cave.

"What a proud woman."

Watching Dragon Soul leave with her newly acquired treasures, Qin Tian chuckled softly.

This time, failing to obtain a treasure like the Phoenix Immortal Sword, but instead gaining an enhancement in cultivation, an improvement in the Divine Vein Technique, and three promises from Dragon Soul, Qin Tian found it difficult to gauge the real harvest of this trip to the East State Mountain Range.

"Woo woo..."

Just as Qin Tian was about to leave the cave, a strange sound suddenly echoed from inside.

He paused, stopping in his tracks.

But then, there was silence again.

Qin Tian was about to move on.

The "woo woo" sound resounded once more!

"What sound is that?"

Qin Tian turned around, his eyes scanning the cave.

"Woo woo... aoo aoo..."

The continuous sound reached Qin Tian's ears. This time, he clearly heard it coming from a bush at the bottom of the cave.

Qin Tian walked over, only to discover that behind this half-man-tall bush, where it met the cave wall, was a hidden little pit.

Right now, inside the pit, there lay a furry little creature, fast asleep.

The little creature's body was a fiery red, its fur only about two centimeters long, and its black eyes had a red shine, letting out a yawn as it opened them.

"Is this a dog? No way!"

Qin Tian looked at the little creature, thinking it resembled a red pet dog, but he'd never seen such a color on a pet dog before. Moreover, the creature had big eyes, very small ears, and limbs resembling hooves rather than dog paws, so Qin Tian deduced that it wasn't a dog.

"Could it be the son or daughter of that Qilin Divine Beast I devoured?"

Qin Tian froze for a moment before realizing that this cave was the Qilin Divine Beast's dwelling. The little creature surviving here unharmed could only be the Qilin Divine Beast's child.

"Woo woo... aoo aoo..."

The little creature blinked innocently at Qin Tian, its large eyes giving a naive and cute impression, immediately captivating Qin Tian.

"A child without parents, leaving you here would surely mean certain death. Since I devoured your father, I'll be both your mom and dad from now on and take care of you."

Thinking about it, Qin Tian bent down and picked up the little creature.

This little one seemed just a few months old but could stand on its own. When Qin Tian reached out, it didn't resist, instead looking warmly at him, warming Qin Tian's heart.

"Hehe, we clicked at first sight, from now on, you'll hang out with me."

Qin Tian cheerfully cradled the little one, feeling a cozy warmth, bringing him immense satisfaction.

The entire time, the little creature showed no sign of rejecting Qin Tian, curling up in his arms, nestling its head under his arm as if familiar with his scent, like they had known each other for a long time.

In the past, Qin Tian had raised a Hunting Dog named "Xiao Bai" at Dragon Soul. Later, as he traveled frequently, he left it under Tang Wan's care until eventually, the dog died of old age. Qin Tian and Tang Wan personally buried Xiao Bai, and he grieved deeply for quite a while.

Since then, he hadn't kept another pet.

This time, faced with the lonely young Qilin Beast, Qin Tian gladly took it with him.

"I wonder if this little one can inherit its father's divine attributes. Hehe, if it grows up to be my mount, a Qilin Divine Beast mount... that'd be quite cool!"

...

Qin Tian made a makeshift sling from a scarf to carry the creature against his chest, then set off from the cave, navigating numerous traps. By the time daylight broke the next day, Qin Tian had left the Nine Heavens Holy Hall.

Outside the Nine Heavens Holy Hall, a substantial army was already enforcing martial law, unmistakably comprised of Royal Family soldiers. Finding a hidden spot, Qin Tian chose not to provoke them, quietly descending the mountain.

"Woo woo woo..."

As Qin Tian headed down the East State Mountain Range, the little creature in his arms began to wriggle, trying to get out.

Knowing it wanted to get some fresh air, Qin Tian set it down.

"Wow, only a month or two old, and you've already surprised me by walking? Even running?"

Seeing the little one bouncing energetically on the ground, Qin Tian was amazed.

"Aoo aoo aoo... woo woo woo..."

The little one barked twice at Qin Tian, then took off at a run!

"Gosh, where are you going? Wait up!"

Of course, the little creature couldn't outrun Qin Tian, but concerned for its safety, he followed closely, shouting, "Hey hey, what's your name? I haven't named you yet. You know, I first need to check if you're male or female to give you a name."

Calling out like this, Qin Tian's face was lit up with a beaming smile.

The little one brought back memories of his days on Earth playing with the Hunting Dog Xiao Bai in the woods. More than twenty years had swept by in a flash.

The little one ran from the woods to a plain, halted by sight of wild goats and deer grazing, staring blankly.

"Haven't seen the world, have you? Don't tell me you've never seen goats or deer before?"

Approaching the creature, Qin Tian looked down with a smile. "Little one, don't tell me you're scared of goats? You're descended from a Divine Beast, and you're afraid of ordinary livestock?"

"Aoo aoo aoo..."

As if understanding Qin Tian, the little one expressed its discontent immediately.

Qin Tian was even more amused, just about to make another joke, when he saw the creature walk towards the goat and deer herd.

Strangely enough, the goats and deer showed no fear, still lazily grazing on the plain.

Walking over slowly, Qin Tian commented, "Little one, what are you doing? They're not your kind. Are you trying to play with them?"

Just as the words left his mouth, Qin Tian looked up to see something that stopped him dead in his tracks, tightening around his posterior in shock—

He found the little one had climbed onto a white goat's back, unceremoniously mounting it!

Then, nudging its waist smoothly in rhythm!

"Oh god..."

Seeing this, Qin Tian awkwardly covered his face, "All this time, are you a Teddy? Geez... one month old and already knowing this move, not even sparing a goat, impressive..."
