Finally Finding His Treasure That He Had Lost For A Long Time

Just as Shao Qian was at a loss on how about to get up, a branch came from his side, circling around Shao Qian's waist and bringing him up to the door of his treehouse.

"Thank you." Shao Qian carried the teen and said his thanks towards the familiar being by his side.

"You're welcome, little fellow." That treat pointed at the person in Shao Qian's embrace and spoke solemnly, "It's okay if you want to rear this animal, but you can't let him hurt you."

"Don't worry, grandpa Pein." Shao Qian nodded his head firmly, grinning. "Grandpa Pein, I'll put him in the house first."

"Go then." The treant Pein used his branch and poked Shao Qian's forehead before taking a few steps away and setting his roots down.

As Shao Qian looked out the window at the treant whose eyes were closed, his heart felt warm. All of these treants were a few hundred years old, to the extent whers the chief, grandpa Jessie, was above a thousand year old. It was just that he rarely moved anymore.

It was at this moment that the youth in Shao Qian's embrace groaned in pain, reaching over to scratch at his recovering wound. Upon seeing this, Shao Qian rushed to place him onto the simple bed, using an animal bone to cut open his clothes, throwing them to one side and pulling over a soft sleeping bag across the youth's stomach to cover it.

Vincent had been on guard ever since that group of people brought him to the Illusionary Mist Forest, however, he never expected that the group of people would scatter Attracting Beasts powder onto his body. When he realised it, he had used a water scroll to wash his body, but the remains on his body still attracted a few magic beasts. In his frenzy, he seemed to have fled to some place?

When Vincent regained consciousness, he didn't open his eyes immediately. Instead, he used his hands to feel around beneath his body first. Feeling that he was sleepy on a piece of animal fur, he was surprised and subsequently, he felt as if his body was covered by something. The back of his hand touched delicate fabric, making him even more astonished. Could it be that he was actually saved by someone?

Thinking to here, Vincent opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a small child lying on the bed, looking at him in surprise. Could it be it was this child's family that saved him?

Shao Qian had been aware the moment Vincent had woken up. After all, when this person had woken up, his eyes had moved a few times, most probably trying to figure out his current situation, right?

"You're awake?" The instant he saw the youth on the bed open his eyes, Shao Qian grinned. "How do you feel?"

Vincent looked blankly at the child. He felt somewhat strange. The moment he saw this child, he felt the small urge to shed tears. It was seemingly the kind of feeling where he had finally found his treasure that he had lost for a long time. This was obviously the first time he has seen this child, right? Why does he have this sort of feeling?

"Hey, what kind of daze are you in?" Shao Qian was at a loss as he watched the youth who didn't react for half a day. Could it be that he was scared stupid?

"You… What is your name?" Vincent grabbed the hand that the youth was just about to wave in front of him, asking anxiously.

"…Jesse. My name is Jesse." Shao Qian glanced at his hand being grasped somewhat painfully by the youth and prompted, "Can you release me?"

"Apologies. I'm… Centvin." Just as Vincent was about to introduce himself, he changed his name. He was powerless right now. It was better to not tell the youth his real name for now. Moreover...

Vincent looked at Jesse's head full of black hair and felt indescribably distressed. Most viewed black hair and pupils as the demon colour. They were viewed as unknown. This child… Must have certainly suffered before.

Thinking to this point, Vincent suddenly felt his shoulder become a bit heavy, his heart indescribably desiring to treat Jesse well. He didn't want others to see him and reveal an expression of disgust, and even more, he didn't want others to hurt him. Merely thinking of the possibility that others would harm him, Vincent wasn't able to suppress the murderous intention in his heart.

The moment Centvin's killing intent spiked, Shao Qian was immediately alert. Upon introducing himself, why did this person suddenly emit a murderous aura? Could he have thought of something?

"You're injured. You rest in my house temporarily, but I don't recommend going out." Stay in the house and you would be fine. However, if you go out, then your safety couldn't be assured. After all, this was the Illusionary Mist Forest.

When Vincent heard Shao Qian's words, he was shocked. Glancing at the window, he realised that they were currently in mid-air. Looking at the thick tree trunk outside, Vincent wondered if they were still inside the Illusionary Mist Forest? Could it be that this child had always been surviving in the Illusionary Mist Forest?

It could be assumed that after this child was rejected and expelled by others, he entered the forest to survive, and that his life here had been very hard. Unacceptable. When he found the opportunity, he would definitely bring him out.

Shao Qian was oblivious to the fact that Centvin had already placed him under his wing. It was to the extent where he was even beginning to imagine how their lives would be after they left the forest. Of course, he would first take care of those that wished to kill him. He didn't want to bring Jesse out, only to be distracted by those assassinations and provocations.

"Have you always lived here?" Vincent looked around the room which held a small amount of household items and felt somewhat sad. Jesse must have had a very arduous life here. In the room, other than some animal skin, there wasn't a single piece of clothes.

"Yes." Shao Qian opened the sleeping bag and examined his wound, nodding in satisfaction. "It seems like the medicine was very useful. Your wound has already scarred over."

Hearing what Shao Qian said, Vincent felt a burst of grief within his heart. Jesse definitely didn't now that very little people used medicine, that ancient thing, nowadays. When someone suffered from an injury, there would now be a priest to treat it. Pharmacists wers already swept under the carpet of history.

Shao Qian watched as Vincent stared unblinkingly ar him in a daze. This person… Seemed to be staring at him ever since he woke up. It wasn't such 'greed upon discovering his true identity', but… But… Distress? Sympathy?

Damn it, seeing these kind of emotions from a stranger, he must be insane.

"Squeak…" [1] Just as Shao Qian was in a daze, there came an additional sound in the treehouse. A black orangutan climbed up and bared its fangs at Shao Qian.

Shao Qian began to become vacant before he suddenly slapped his forehead. He had previously said that he would share his prey with the little orangutan. In the end, because he had saved Centvin, he left his prey behind…

When the little orangutan saw that Shao Qian didn't return its greeting, its face face fell, its entire body darkening in gloominess. Ying, didn't the little fellow agree to bring back some fruits for him? Why did the little fellow bring back an inedible, weird species? This species' body actually didn't have any hair. The orangutan wasn't happy. It felt that there was a crisis of the little fellow being snatched away.

Thinking to here, the little orangutan glared fiercely at the person sitting on the bed. No matter who they were, no one could snatch away his little fellow. Whoever dared to, he would eat them.

The instant Vincent saw the Heaven-Shaking beast intrude into the treehouse, his facial complexion changed. How could there be a fifth-grade cub of a Heaven Shaking beast?

The Heaven-Shaking beast possessed extraordinary strength and was proficient in earth magic, therefore it was sorted into the higher ranks. A cub of a Heaven beast had actually appeared before him right now, but it was a fifth-grade cub.

If others had witnessed this scene, they would definitely exhaust all means to capture it alive. After all, a fifth-grade cub had unlimited potential. There was a possibility that it would be promoted to ninth-grade as it grew older, and may even become a holy-ranked beast. Imagine that. Who would he endure the temptation of their family having a ninth-grade or holy-ranked magic beast? Therefore, most people would definitely think of every possible method to snatch the cub away.

Vincent wasn't the same though. Yes, he was anxious, however, he wasn't anxious on planning how to capture this Heaven-Shaking beast, but because, would this annoying Heaven-Shaking beast hurt Jesse? Right now, his magic still hasn't recovered and he was simply unable to confront a fifth-grade magic beast.

But… But if it dared harm Jesse, he would use his life to kill it.

It was just that the situation didn't seem to be at all as he imagined. He simply saw Jesse step forward and jump directly onto that Heaven-Shaking beast, hugging its neck and laughing. "Little Tian, don't be angry. Next time, I'll definitely bring you along."

Would the Heaven-Shaking beast listen?, Before Shao Qian arrived in the Illusionary Mist Forest, this little orangutan was the centre area's little overlord. Towards cubs, high-ranked magic beasts were extremely tolerant. After all, the higher the rank of the magic beasts, the more difficult it was for them to have any young.

Therefore, towards the Illusionary Mist Forest's only little magic beast, they were even more tolerant. It was only until Shao Qian arrived. Although Shao Qian teased cats and provoked dogs as he played around mischievously, he still had a sense of proportion. He wouldn't touch the bottom line of those high-ranked magic beasts, therefore, he became the second cub that those high-ranked magic beasts doted on. Of course, the treants' contribution also couldn't go unnoticed.
