Little Apple gripped its little claws. āI wanted to become stronger! Thatās why I was searching for the ginseng fruit as if my life depended on it. I wanted to make them look at me properly!ā
āTo be strong requires great effort! Itās not about relying on luck and opportunities. With your innate talent, if you had relentlessly cultivated for 2,000 years, you would have already become an expert among your race by now instead of your current pathetic state!ā Once Jiu Zun decided to discipline someone, he would never mince his words and leave the other party any face. His words caused the little qilin to be dejected and depressed. Besides, he was unable to refute Jiu Zunās words.
As for Ning Xuemo, her heart was moved. Although Jiu Zun was a person of few words, it was undeniable he had the bearing and the skills of teacher...
She patted the little qilinās head. āLittle Apple, youāre a male. No matter what, you have to appear manly. You need to rely on your own strength to make others respect you. Crying all day will only make them view you with contempt.ā After a pause, she continued. āI think you look nice in this form, so why do you insist on taking human form?ā
Little Apple lowered its head. āWhen the young children in my clan turn 1,000 years old, they are able to take human form. They also had someone to teach them⦠I, I had no one to teach me, but I didnāt want to be worse than the othersā¦ā
āThen⦠When they turn into humans, are their skins all like yours?ā
Little Appleās head lowered even more. āThey all look more human-like⦠Their skin colors are the same as yours and they donāt have any horns on their headsā¦ā
Ning Xuemo just realized that Little Appleās life story was similar to the main character in āNarutoā. With both of his parents gone, Naruto was treated as a monster wherever he went while Little Apple was being treated as a bearer of ill luck⦠In their hearts, they thirsted for strength, ardently long to fit in with their people and gain acknowledgement of their clansmen. It was a pity that they simply used the wrong method to prove themselves...
No wonder this little fellow was so sensitive and weak. It turned out it had grown up in this kind of environment.
āI believe in you. I believe that one day you will stand at the peak of your clan and your clansmen will treat you as their glory! But you have to put in more effort into your cultivation.ā Ning Xuemo once again patted its head.
Little Appleās eyes lit up. Its longing to be acknowledged by others was too strong!
āI will definitely work harder!ā The tears in its eyes had been replaced by determination. It was finally able to lift its head up again.
This made Ning Xuemo happy. The little qilin was like a child, sensitive and fragile. Too much criticism would cause it to feel inferior to others. The effect of a few well-chosen praises was not bad. So it turned out she also had talent in teaching little children. Hahaha!
Her ability to teach others wasnāt any worse than a certain someone!
Ning Xuemo gave a somewhat proud look at Jiu Zun.
āBig Sister, it doesnāt matter if I canāt transform into a human. But in this form, I canāt help you to bandage your wound.ā Little Apple was somewhat sorry, but suddenly he got struck by a bright idea. āHow about I lick you? Qilinās saliva has very strong healing properties!ā
āThatās right!ā If a qilinās scale could completely regrow her skin, then perhaps its lick could immediately heal her wound without leaving any scar.
Ning Xuemo immediately extended her injured finger in front of its mouth, āCome, lick it!ā
Her little finger was white and tender despite her palm having some callus. The shape of her hand was also perfect and beautiful. Her ten fingers were straight like spring onions and delicate like fine jade.
Even if it had always held the humankind in contempt and also avoided them, Little Apple didnāt hesitate when faced with this beautiful hand. It immediately stretched out its tongue to lick the injured finger.
Its tongue had yet to reach her skin when the person in front of him suddenly staggered and distanced herself from its tongue...
It raised its head in surprise, only to find Ning Xuemo was already standing right in front of Jiu Zun...
