Chapter 197 Qilin Awakening
As the bizarre and fantastical sights faded, Zhang Qiling regained his clarity and found himself in a space he had never set foot in before. The only somewhat familiar object was the water droplet he had seen in the replicated space—the water inside was nearly saturated, and the Ink Qilin was floating within it.
As soon as Zhang Qiling met its gaze, a strange sense of familiarity welled up in his heart, and an absurd yet reasonable guess slowly emerged.
It is the Black Qilin, and he is it...
But who he is doesn't matter. He can be anyone.
"Where is Yan Huai?" The black gold ancient sword was tightly gripped in his hand, as if the only person in the world who could make Zhang Qiling's emotions fluctuate was this guy who could disappear even more easily than him.
"There are many things you can't help him face," Mo Qilin seemed to sigh.
Is he safe?
"That depends on him. His physical body may be fine, but his soul..." Seeing Zhang Qiling's increasingly deep gaze, Mo Qilin trembled involuntarily and reassured him, "There's no use in worrying. He will always come back."
"The events of ten thousand years ago and the evil soul have had a great impact on him. Even though Qi Yu and Yan Chen have confirmed the authenticity of his memories, facing them personally will still be a complicated and difficult process. However, you must believe that, given Yan Huai's personality and temperament, very few things can truly harm him, especially since it is just an ordinary world full of strangeness."
"Let me know what he's going through." Zhang Qiling stared intently at the black Qilin in the water droplet container. He had a feeling that it could do it; it was just a matter of whether it was willing or not.
"Ah..." The Ink Qilin felt a little guilty. It shouldn't have been able to do it originally, but what could it do when Zhang Qiling and Yan Huai had formed a soul contract? Well...
Remembering what Qi Yu had told him, Mo Qilin hesitated.
It's unclear whether it's appropriate for Zhang Qiling to see Yan Huai in his out-of-control state, given the mysterious nature of soul connection; anything could happen...
But when it met Zhang Qiling's eyes, it changed its mind again. Zhang Qiling was the main consciousness of the Mo Qilin. It was just a shell that was equal to the main consciousness and connected with Zhang Qiling heart to heart. If one day Zhang Qiling chose not to merge with it, then it could be a divine beast that roamed the world freely and lived a carefree life!
Ahem... Anyway, whatever choice Zhang Qiling makes, it will accept it. However, now it's clear that Yan Huai is the one who's truly connected to Zhang Qiling, so whether they merge or not doesn't really matter.
Firstly, it can still freely choose whether or not to separate from the main consciousness, since the physical body is not an accessory, but an equal relationship;
Secondly, even after they separate, it will still come back to visit Zhang Qiling and Yan Huai from time to time! In various forms and identities, that will definitely be very interesting!
Thirdly, fulfilling Zhang Qiling's needs now also helps it in the future. The better the relationship between the two, the less trouble it will have in the future. Although their relationship would have gotten better regardless of whether this happened or not, letting Zhang Qiling see Yan Huai's true feelings and his undisguised nature at this moment might bring some unexpected joy.
Mo Qilin's mind raced, but he maintained a calm and slightly arrogant demeanor, completely disregarding Qi Yu's instructions.
After all, it's just an 'explanation', isn't it?
"Yes, but you can only watch, you can't have any thoughts of interfering."
"Okay." Zhang Qiling's tone was calm and even, but a dark undercurrent churned deep within his eyes.
He would never do anything voluntarily...
