Beasts: Only I Can See the Hidden Evolution Path

Chapter 49: Bloodline Awakening, Contracting the Holy Light Angel Beast!

Xiao Xingyu was resolute, and Luo Sanniang had nothing more to say, turning to Qin Yanran instead.

Qin Yanran repeatedly asked, "Xingyu, are you really planning to buy this Elf-type magical beast?"

Xiao Xingyu nodded vigorously.

Qin Yanran leaned closer to Xiao Xingyu and whispered, "Tell me the truth; are you sure you don't plan to keep this elf as a maid or pet?"

"Yanran, you're overthinking it. I don't have such vulgar interests. I just want to sign a blood contract with her and make her my magical beast."

After a moment of silence, Qin Yanran took out her bank card and handed it to Luo Sanniang.

"Three Niang, we’ll buy this Elf-type magical beast."

"Miss Qin, this..."

"No need for more questions. Since my brother insists on buying her, as his sister, I can only fulfill his wish."

Luo Sanniang brought over a POS machine.

"Miss Qin, this Elf-type magical beast has a broken wing and is suffering from illness. She's quite sickly."

"The original price is 30,000, but since we’re familiar, 10,000 will suffice."

The 30,000 wasn't the value of the Elf-type magical beast itself but rather the worth of her attractive body and beautiful face.

If the Elf-type magical beast didn't have such a perfect figure and looks, even a price of 100 would struggle to find a buyer.

After processing the payment, Leopard opened the cage.

"Young Master Xiao, please take a look."

Xiao Xingyu approached the cage and slowly crouched down, getting close to the golden-haired elf.

The golden-haired elf's face was pale, her large watery eyes filled with fear and unease, her small frame curled up tightly.

Xiao Xingyu activated the Eye of the Demon God.

【Magical Beast Status】: Extremely Weak

【Injury Analysis】: Broken wing, dislocated left arm, an open 10 cm wound on the right shoulder.

【Conventional Treatment Methods】: Gold Silver Grass, Water Attribute Nutrients, Bone Blood Pill...

【Special Treatment Method】: Activate Hidden Bloodline

Xiao Xingyu muttered softly, "So, as long as I activate this little elf's hidden bloodline, I can eliminate all her injuries."

He focused his thoughts and opened the system store.

Xiao Xingyu's account balance was 2,050 points.

Originally, he planned to save the money, waiting for it to accumulate.

However, plans changed, and he urgently needed a【Bloodline Awakening Crystal】to activate the hidden bloodline.

"A single【Bloodline Awakening Crystal】costs 1,800 points."

"Can't it be discounted?"

"Sigh, for the sake of this little elf, I'll have to spend quite a bit!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Xingyu decisively chose to purchase it.

"Ping~"

"Spent 1,800 points. Successfully purchased one【Bloodline Awakening Crystal】."

"Current account balance: 250 points."

Xiao Xingyu closed the system store and shifted his gaze back to the golden-haired elf.

The golden-haired elf lowered her head, too afraid to meet Xiao Xingyu's eyes, her delicate body trembling from fear.

Xiao Xingyu raised his hand and gently touched the golden-haired elf's head.

"Don't be afraid; I won’t hurt you."

"Xingyu, what are you saying? I don't understand."

Xiao Xingyu spoke in the special language of the elves.

Only then did the golden-haired elf look up, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

"Right now, I am your master. You can let down your guard, and I’ll help you break the chains."

Heavy chains were wrapped around the elf's neck and legs.

Because Xiao Xingyu used the elven language, the golden-haired elf relaxed her guard, her panic easing a bit.

Luo Sanniang's eyes sparkled as she praised, "Wow, young man, you even know the elven language!"

The Eye of the Demon God granted Xiao Xingyu maximum comprehension and exceptional learning ability.

He could easily master the languages of all races.

"Black Blade!"

Xiao Xingyu activated the beast emblem, summoning the Hell Phantom Wolf.

Crack~ 

Crack~ 

The wolf's sharp fangs quickly bit through the chains on the golden-haired elf.

Xiao Xingyu picked up the injured golden-haired elf in a princess carry.

The golden-haired elf sensed that this man harbored no intention to harm her.

"Xingyu, what is this golden-haired elf babbling about?"

"She’s thanking me for saving her."

The golden-haired elf was not foolish; she understood that Xiao Xingyu was her benefactor.

Without him, her fate would have been to be sold to some powerful individual.

Then, she would become a plaything and slave for those with twisted tastes, suffering both physical and spiritual torment.

In the deep night after the rain, Yin Nan Mountain was shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.

Stars peeked out from the clouds, their faint light illuminating the lonely mountain peak.

By a pond, 

Xiao Xingyu tore a piece of his clothing to use as a makeshift towel, soaking it in the clear pond water before using it to wipe the dirt and blood off the golden-haired elf.

Whenever his hand unintentionally brushed against her wound, he would hear a soft gasp.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you~"

The golden-haired elf shook her head, indicating it was fine.

In the quiet night on Yin Nan Mountain, there was no one around, only some initial-stage magical beasts stirring.

Fortunately, with the Hell Phantom Wolf present, those magical beasts dared not approach.

Xiao Xingyu brought the golden-haired elf to the mountain for privacy, to facilitate activating her hidden bloodline.

He opened the system warehouse and extracted the Bloodline Awakening Crystal.

Before activating the golden-haired elf's hidden bloodline, an important step remained: signing the blood contract.

Under the moonlight, the golden-haired elf's profile looked like a painting, almost unreal in its beauty.

Xiao Xingyu asked seriously, "Are you willing to sign a blood contract and become my magical beast?"

The golden-haired elf immediately nodded. In her heart, Xiao Xingyu was her master and benefactor.

Xiao Xingyu smiled with satisfaction, biting his fingertip and spreading a drop of blood on the golden-haired elf's forehead.

A crimson pentagram gradually formed, symbolizing the success of the blood contract.

Strictly speaking, this golden-haired elf was Xiao Xingyu's third magical beast.

However, due to the special identity of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Delu, it could not be publicly acknowledged.

Thus, to the outside world, this golden-haired elf was considered Xiao Xingyu's second magical beast.

After signing the blood contract, the bond between the golden-haired elf and Xiao Xingyu deepened.

Xiao Xingyu took out the Bloodline Awakening Crystal and held it up to the golden-haired elf's mouth.

"Swallow this."

The golden-haired elf opened her small mouth and swallowed the Bloodline Awakening Crystal, nearly choking.

Moments later, the golden-haired elf felt her body heating up, her expression contorting, and cold sweat forming on her forehead.

This pain was a necessary part of activating her hidden bloodline.

Enduring the pain meant welcoming a transformation.

In the still depths of the forest, a beam of holy light shot up into the sky, dispersing the dark clouds and connecting with the stars!

Time passed, and the holy light gradually faded.

At that moment, before Xiao Xingyu floated a beautiful woman clad in silver armor.

With flowing golden hair and a golden circlet on her forehead, she had two radiant wings of light extending from her back.

In each hand, she held a three-foot-long sword of light.

Xiao Xingyu's lips curled into a wild smile, his eyes shining with excitement.

"The hidden bloodline has been activated!"

With the Eye of the Demon God open, a new data panel appeared before him.

【Name】: Holy Light Angel Beast

【Level】: Initial Form (First Rank)

【Bloodline】: Angel Bloodline (Mythical Quality)

【Talent】: Holy Light Guardian (Dispels negative effects from enemies and provides holy light shields for allies.)

【Attributes】: Angelic, Flying, Holy Light

【Loyalty】: 100

【Skills】:

**Cross Slash**: Simultaneously wielding both swords, it unleashes a cross-shaped sword energy, dealing triple critical damage to enemies while stacking holy light shield layers for itself and allies.

**Flowing Light Sword Array**: Flapping her wings, she releases feather-shaped holy light sword arrays, with a total of 188 swords, causing area damage.

【Evolution Path】: Holy Light Angel Beast → Four-Winged Holy Angel → Six-Winged Archangel → Holy Maiden Angel Beast (Eight Wings) → Holy Queen (Ten Wings) → Twelve-Winged Seraph

【Habits and Preferences】: Absorbing moonlight, staying beside her master.

Without a doubt, the Holy Light Angel Beast floating in mid-air was the previously injured golden-haired elf.

After awakening her hidden bloodline, the golden-haired elf transformed completely; not only were her injuries healed, but she also became one of the rare Angelic-type magical beasts in the world.

It's important to note that the Angel Bloodline is of mythical quality, on par with the bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

After reviewing the data panel, Xiao Xingyu envisioned a brighter future.

"When I become a Nine-Star Beastmaster, she should evolve into a Twelve-Winged Seraph."

"By the way, it's time to give her a name."

Xiao Xingyu stroked his chin in thought, suddenly looking up with a gleam in his eye.

"Before you awakened your hidden bloodline, you were a Water Elemental Elf."

"Since that's the case, I'll call you Freya!"

In Greek mythology, Freya represents the water elemental sprites.

"Freya!"

Xiao Xingyu called out again.

The Holy Light Angel Beast flapped her wings and slowly descended before Xiao Xingyu.

Compared to the previous golden-haired elf, her appearance and figure were now even more perfect, like a work of art created with utmost care.

Cold, pure, solemn, and noble…

These were the unique qualities and personality traits of an Angelic-type magical beast.

Even with such nobility, the Holy Light Angel Beast showed no airs in front of Xiao Xingyu.

She knelt on one knee, sheathed her swords, and placed her left fist over her chest.

This was the highest form of salute from the Angelic race.

"Freya, we will fight side by side from now on."

Xiao Xingyu raised his hand and gently pinched the Holy Light Angel Beast's cheek.

The Holy Light Angel Beast did not resist, allowing Xiao Xingyu to fondly touch her face. Although her demeanor was cold and serious, her eyes flowed with endless warmth.

After awakening her hidden bloodline, she was noble in front of others, but she would always remember that she was the Water Elemental Elf that Xiao Xingyu had saved.

Sometimes, the bond between a magical beast and its master transcends a cold blood contract.

Aoo~

The Hell Phantom Wolf howled to the sky, its demonic power surging through the forest.

The Holy Light Angel Beast radiated pure holy light.

On Xiao Xingyu's side, there was an angel on the left and a demon on the right!

At this moment, Xiao Xingyu remained unaware that the wheels of fate had begun to turn quietly.

The throne of the Demon God was beckoning to him.
