Chapter 11: Legends are all Lies Translated by alice of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

It felt as though every cell in his body was screaming in pain and tiredness. He couldn't help but tremble, wanting to lessen his burden. But without noticing, he could feel endless warmth and air around him, allowing him to slowly calm down.

Oh… This is really a failure…

The black clots within Dabai were so numerous that there was a backlash…

Although he had expected that Dabai would be his most challenging patient, he didn't think it would be so hard…

Hmm? Why was he lying on the ground right now? Unable to move?

JinYu, who had been slowly regaining consciousness, abruptly opened his eyes, opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Xiaobai? Dabai? Baozi?

JinYu smiled painfully. Fine, the price this time was a bit too high. Next time, without thorough preparation, he wasn't going to attempt healing a beast with black clots over its entire body.

Although he couldn't move and couldn't make a sound, JinYu could still sense the breath and fur of beasts he knew. He laughed soundlessly. He was about to close his eyes to get a rest, but in the next second, his gaze met a pair of profound golden eyes before him. But those eyes were so cold and made JinYu shiver.

Who are you? JinYu opened his mouth. Although he couldn't make a sound, he was sure that the owner of those eyes could understand.

Step, step, step. The sound of extremely light footsteps.

The moonlight appeared. JinYu's eyes opened extremely wide. His face showed a shock and disbelief that had yet to be seen since he came to this world.

“This… is… impossible.” JinYu was hoa.r.s.e as he slowly formed the words. He sounded incredibly soft and weak to himself.

Even if he could accept big cats, insects, winged horses and tigers as big as men; even if he could ignore the abilities humans now had; he couldn't imagine, couldn't believe that the beast before his eyes would appear so unexpectedly before him, as if it really existed.

“Black… Qilin…?!” (T/n: this is the Chinese word for unicorn)

Was this a cosmic joke?

The beast that was in front of him and looking down at him and a dragon head, deer antlers, lion eyes, tiger back, horse body, fish scales, and if JinYu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if he thought about this until his brain fell apart, he would never have imagined that the auspicious Qilin from the myths of his world in another planet, right before his eyes.

Qilin was the true king of beasts, an auspicious animal known for its benevolence.

But as JinYu looked at the Qilin before his eyes, he felt that the myths were all lies! At least, in myths, they failed to mention a type of Qilin – this Qilin that was a beautiful black, with eyes that were devoid of a shred of feeling, that made one feel cold just by looking at them. It made JinYu understand that this Qilin before him was not any kind of benevolent beast, but some sort of monster-like final boss.

JinYu could identify this as a Qilin so quickly because, other than its appearance, it had an aura of authority, as if it was a king.

Maybe it was because meeting this beast gave him an adrenaline rush, but JinYu suddenly discovered that he could move. He painstakingly pushed himself up, turned, and looked around. As expected, Baozi and the others were still unconscious. His movements were enough to startle beasts awake, but all these beasts were still unconscious, which was to say the power this boss was indescribable.

Black Qilin… Why weren't the scales white?!

JinYu sucked in a deep breath and sighed at his bad luck. Legends said that the Qilin were benevolent beasts. But when it was angered, the earth and heavens shook. This didn't even include the fact that the Qilin before him looked savage and cold. Shouldn't he then obediently choose a less painful and ugly way to die?

No, no, no! He could die – after all, every day he was alive was luck. But these beasts couldn't die. Wasn't the Qilin the boss of Baozi, big-tailed wolf, Dabai and Xiaobai? A boss usually won't kill its underlings right?

Thinking of this, JinYu swallowed. He said to the golden-eyed, striped and unmoving black Qilin, “You, en, please just eat me, please don't eat Dabai, Xiaobai, Baozi, Xiaoxue, Xiaolue, and the others! They aren't humans, they can't do anything that would betray or harm you!!”

Something flashed across the black Qilin's eyes when it heard JinYu's words. Under JinYu's shocked gaze, a heavy and dignified voice spoke in his mind. “You are willing to die in their place? They aren't fellow humans.”

JinYu gaped. His mouth twitched, and then he finally shook his head, “Although I am not a soft-hearted and tender fellow, I'm at my wit's end when it comes to animals. Even if they aren't humans, they are still very important. Also, they were just healed, and they can live a new life. If they died now, it would be a huge waste.”
