It swung its only intact right claw and slapped Chen Feng across the face.
It excitedly asked,
"Does it hurt!"
With a loud crack.
Chen Feng's neck fractured on the spot.
He looked at the monster from the corner of his eye, his mouth twitching.
"My neck is broken, do you think it hurts?"
The monster's single eye almost popped out of its socket.
"You really are alive! I'm not dreaming!"
"But what kind of thing are you, why are you covered in Qilin scales?"
"Did you perhaps kill a Qilin, obtain its precious blood, and then get thrown into the White Tiger Abyss by the Ancient Clan?"
The monster's imagination began to run wild.
It fantasized about the thing it had always wanted to do the most.
Eat a Qilin!
It was just that Qilins were too fast, and it could never catch up to them.
Right now, it was incredibly curious about how the person in front of it had managed it.
If it ate him, would that be the same as eating a Qilin.
However, thinking about how it had finally encountered a living creature after thousands of years.
It suddenly couldn't bear to kill him.
It was simply too lonely.
This strange man in front of it might be able to keep it company for a very long time.
Especially after getting a good look at Chen Feng and realizing he seemed to be a male.
That made it even more reluctant to eat him.
Chen Feng had no idea what kind of creature was standing before him.
But since it knew about Qilins and the Ancient Clan.
It must have also fallen from above but managed to survive the drop.
Chen Feng explained,
"I didn't kill a Qilin."
"A Qilin tried to save me, which is why my body is covered in these scales."
The monster was astonished!
"A Qilin saved you?"
"Could it be that you are the one acknowledged by the new generation of Qilins from the Ancient Clan?"
Chen Feng wanted to shake his head, but he obviously couldn't do that right now.
If he moved carelessly, he might just drop dead on the spot.
The monster stopped caring about all that.
Especially after figuring out Chen Feng's gender.
Its movements became surprisingly tender.
It even went as far as biting open its severed left limb.
Using its intact claw, it squeezed for a long time.
Finally, a single drop of blood was forced out and dripped into Chen Feng's mouth.
"This is my essence blood, its effects are on par with precious Qilin blood."
"Just a single drop will heal your injuries immediately."
"Furthermore, it can strengthen your body, nourish your yin, and boost your yang!"
As it said that last sentence.
It flashed an eerie smile.
Although Chen Feng felt a bit creeped out.
After swallowing that drop of essence blood.
His entire body suddenly felt scorching hot.
His broken legs, in particular, became incredibly itchy.
It wasn't long before the pain from his fractured neck vanished.
Ten minutes later.
The pain in his legs gradually faded away as well.
Chen Feng hadn't expected the creature's essence blood to have effects comparable to a Vermilion Fruit.
"Thank you for saving me, how should I address you!"
The monster stood up proudly on its hind legs, crossing its arms in a very human-like manner.
It boasted to Chen Feng,
"I am the Grand Chief of the Kunlun Mountains!"
"The ruler of Kunlun, Yin Hu!"
"And I'm a female!"
Grand Chief?
Ruler of Kunlun?
Yin Hu?
Female?
Chen Feng looked at the monster with a bizarre expression.
He couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong with her.
Then again, for something to appear in a place like this, being abnormal was actually quite normal.
Chen Feng carefully sized her up, but he honestly couldn't see how she was a tiger.
However, as his gaze shifted downward, he confirmed that she was indeed a female animal.
Sensing Chen Feng's gaze.
Yin Hu gave an eerie smile.
She shamelessly displayed her distinguishing features right in front of Chen Feng.
She even deliberately leaned in close to him.
Stopping only a few centimeters away from his face.
Terrified, Chen Feng immediately shouted,
"What are you doing!"
Yin Hu revealed a human-like smile.
"According to human customs."
"I just saved you with my precious essence blood, so you have to repay me, right!"
"Don't you humans love pledging your bodies in marriage to repay your benefactors?"
Chen Feng felt like his brain was about to short-circuit.
What the hell was this thing?
He hurriedly yelled,
"That won't work, I'm a human, and I don't even know what you are."
"The human custom of pledging one's body doesn't apply to the two of us."
What am I?
Displeased, Yin Hu tapped her broken giant fangs with her right claw.
"I am a majestic Saber-toothed Tiger, you can't even tell?"
"Could it be that the Ancient Clan of Kunlun has already forgotten my legend?"
Saber-toothed Tiger?
Chen Feng felt like she was joking.
If she claimed to be a mangy dog, he would believe it.
But a Saber-toothed Tiger, he really couldn't see it.
Chen Feng had actually seen a real Saber-toothed Tiger in the Kunlun Mountains.
Its size and imposing aura were no less impressive than a small to medium-sized dinosaur.
Looking at the monster before him.
Where did it look anything like a Saber-toothed Tiger?
Out of curiosity, Chen Feng asked,
"I remember Saber-toothed Tigers having fur, ears, and a tail."
"Why don't you have any of those?"
At the mention of this.
Yin Hu flew into a rage!
"How could I not have them!"
"It's all because I was ambushed by those four vile bastards and fell into this White Tiger Abyss for thousands of years."
She pointed her intact right claw at the churning bones in the distance.
"There is no water here, no animals, not even a single blade of grass."
"There is only endless tiger miasma and a churning magma of bones!"
"What do you think I ate to survive?"
Yin Hu then pointed to where her ears, eye, and tail used to be.
And finally showed off her three severed limbs.
"I ate them, they grew back, and I ate them again!"
"For thousands of years! I survived by eating myself, rotating body parts and changing flavors!"
Yin Hu's expression became increasingly ferocious.
If it weren't for her fear of loneliness.
She would have swallowed the man in front of her whole right then and there.
Chen Feng was horrified!
He confirmed that the creature before him was absolutely ruthless.
Eating herself, and doing so for thousands of years.
Just imagining it made him shudder.
Yin Hu suppressed her anger.
Thousands of years of imprisonment.
Had actually made her temper tens of thousands of times better than before she entered the White Tiger Abyss.
Otherwise, today would have definitely ended in a brutal massacre.
She walked viciously in a circle around Chen Feng.
Then, her body began to twist and contort, and under Chen Feng's terrified gaze.
She gradually transformed into a human shape.
She stood a full two meters tall.
One eye, a bald head, no ears, and her skin was still completely wrinkled.
She had no feet, and her left arm lacked a hand.
Aside from that, she had all the other important anatomical parts she was supposed to have.
She looked at Chen Feng and spoke in a commanding tone,
"How about this, does this suit your tastes better, you shouldn't have any more excuses!"
"Today, you must pledge your body to me!"
"Don't force me to do it myself!"
However, the moment Yin Hu completely assumed her human form.
A system notification suddenly rang out in Chen Feng's mind.
Detected 100 percent compatibility for the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra.
Name: Yin Hu.
Shocked, Chen Feng thought to himself,
"The system can even teach martial arts techniques to monsters?"
But Chen Feng also came to understand one of the system's mechanics.
A prerequisite for teaching a technique.
Was that the recipient had to be in human form, and the compatibility had to reach one hundred percent.
Thinking of this.
Chen Feng had a sudden flash of inspiration and said to the monster girl who had transformed into Yin Hu,
"I can teach you a martial arts technique as repayment."
Technique?
Yin Hu felt staggered by the stupidity of the human in front of her.
"What use do I have for a technique?"
"What's the point of practicing some bullshit martial arts in this White Tiger Abyss?"
"If I learn your martial arts, will it get me out of here?"
