“If there really is a day, of course we will be bound by duty to do so!” No matter what his heart thought, he still had to say beautiful words. Feng Xiao changed the topic and looked at the Heavenly Dragon Emperor as he said, “But emperor, I’ll be frank, your internal energy seems weak and you aura is scattered, I’m afraid……”

“You’re afraid I’m out of life energy?” The Heavenly Dragon Emperor gave a bitter laugh as he looked at the young man in front of him with a look of astonishment. He never thought that he would be able to see his through condition from such a long distance.

Feng Xiao did not reply which could be considered silent agreement. To be honest, if there was one thing that was stronger than his speed, then it would be his medical skills! In «Rebirth», whether it was a player or a system character, their appearance and insides were close to the same as reality, it could be considered even exactly the same as reality. The only difference was that all disabilities would be healed automatically by the system. So, even though Feng Xiao was in the game, he could still see through a person with a single glance.

“Life force being exhausted”, these four words made him remember a weak girls figure and his heart filled with a bit of pain.

There was no officer or minister that spoke, but they had painful expressions on their faces. The condition of their emperor was not a secret to them.

“Ke, ke….Ai, I’ll be honest, I’ve contracted a terminal illness. No matter what kind of magical pill was taken out, it still won’t save my life, so none of the imperial doctors have been able to cure me. With the world in such chaos and many things left for me to do, I am not willing to leave like this.” The Heavenly Dragon Emperor did not hide anything and directly explained his condition.

“Is there really no way to save your life?” This emperor left a good impression on Feng Xiao, so his tone was quite good.

“There is a method, but there is no difference from not having one…..” The Heavenly Dragon Emperor thought of the one hope that the doctors mentioned, but his look became gloomier. At the same time, his gaze looking at Feng Xiao became much warmer.

“Alright old emperor, stop being like a little girl. Just tell this little brat what it is already!” Tian Xiu had an impatient appearance, as if he could already guess what the emperor was thinking of.

Feng Xiao looked at the Heavenly Dragon Emperor with a curious gaze. Does this secret method have something to do with me?

“Ke, ke…..When I learned of my condition three years ago, there were many people that have tried to find ways on the Heavenly Dragon Continent to cure me, but not a single one worked, so I wish to pin my hopes on an otherworlder brave one like you. I believe that with you brave ones will have incomparable potential, wisdom, and courage. Perhaps, there will be the hope of you finding that thing.”

“Can I ask what is the thing that can save you……?” Feng Xiao intuition told him that the thing the Heavenly Dragon Emperor required was not simple.

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor gave a sigh and said, “Qilin’s blood!”

“What! This is…..:” Feng Xiao was shocked.

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor gave a bitter laugh, “I know that this hope is slim, but it is better than nothing. Can you or your friends help me with this matter? Of course, it doesn’t matter if you aren’t able to find it because this mission is basically an impossible mission. The Qilin’s residence is a place we humans cannot set foot in or visit. Even if you were to find one, it would be very difficult to take its blood! Difficult! Difficult! As difficult as ascending to heaven! I am only unwilling to die like this.” After saying such all these words, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor finally ran out of breath and began to violently cough. The frightened like eunuch beside him was thrown into chaos.

What Feng Xiao wanted to saw was, “This is too much of a coincidence!” Qilin blood was what he needed to find right now anyway.

“Alright emperor, I will try my best to find it for you! This is because you are a good emperor that is worried about the country!” Feng Xiao went along with it and gave his promise, while adding in a bit of flattery for the emperor.

Accepting this impossible mission so easily completely went against everyone’s expectations. Even Tian Xiue looked at him a few extra times. This little brat, although he is going beyond his limits, he is still quite brave.

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor happily said, “Good! You really are worthy of being the first brave warrior to arrive on the Heavenly Dragon Continent. Having this kind of aura, you’ve raised my hope by quite a bit, ha, ha, ha, ha……” Then he fell into another violent coughing fit.

“Ding, player Wind Spirit, you have accepted the hidden quest ‘searching for the Qilin blood’. There is a quest time limit of three months and after three months, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor will die and the quest will be failed. Completing the quest will reward you with the rich rewards of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor and the approval of his officers and ministers. Failure of this quest will cause you to be despised by the officers and ministers.”

“This is a Spiritual Jade Bottle. If brave warrior Wind Spirit finds the Qilin blood, you can use this bottle to bring it back in.” The Heavenly Dragon Emperor made the small eunuch give Feng Xiao a little white jade bottle.

Spiritual Jade Bottle: Spiritual Item

The user can use their thoughts to store any kind of liquid inside. Different liquids cannot be stored at the same time and there is no limit in storage s.p.a.ce.

“Infinitely storing liquids? This is a really convenient bottle!” Feng Xiao quickly put the Spiritual Jade Bottle into his inventory.

“Emperor…...Emperor…...this is bad……”

Suddenly a panic stricken voice came from the palace and a small eunuch tumbled in with a terrified look on his face.

The Heavenly Dragon Emperor knit his brows and roared, “What is this startling!”

“Emperor…..Shui…...Princess Shui Yue’s illness has gotten worse……”

“What!” The Heavenly Dragon Emperor immediately stood up and his face turned even more pale, “Didn’t they say that she fully recovered last time? Why is she…..”

“This little one does not know…..Moreover, this time…...is even worse than before. Your highness, please hurry and come with me……”

Receiving his 100000 gold coins, Tian Xiu’s mouth was crooked with a smile. His footsteps were quite light as he walked out of the palace and Feng Xiao by his side was filled with contempt.

“What happened to this princess Shui Yue? It seems like she’s suffering from some serious illness.” Feng Xiao asked in a curious voice.

“Che, how would I know? But I’ve heard that this old emperor has only ever had a daughter who he cherishes, so if she is really gone, then that old emperor would not have an heir! But then again, little brat Wind Spirit, are you really going to look for the Qilin blood? Let me tell you, even if you have some kind of G.o.dly luck and find a Qilin, how would you make it bleed? Just a single fart from it would be enough to kill you eight hundred times!” Tian Xiu gave a crude and somewhat contemptuous snort as his face was covered in disbelief.

“There was not much hope anyway and you still attack me. You can be a.s.sured, like the old emperor said, it’s fine if I can’t find it anyway.” Feng Xiao was actually thinking about the Xuanyuan Sword. The Qilin blood was the method of unlocking the second seal, so he had to find it anyway.

But before doing this, he had to become stronger first. Only by becoming stronger, would he have a chance.

Tian Xiu rolled his eyes and said in a helpless voice, “How is it as simple as you think. You should not have agreed to it. If you can’t find it after agreeing to the request, the entire imperial palace will despise you and you will no longer be allowed to enter the imperial palace.”

“Ah? It’s that serious?” Feng Xiao felt like he had been fooled. The entire imperial palace? Then wouldn’t the random NPCs on the street point at him? The store owner, the pharmacist, the appraiser…...f.u.c.k!

“Of course! So, you should try to become stronger as quickly as possible. With you level 10 strength…...Oh, you’re actually level 14 right now. Level 14 is still very weak, so you should level as quickly as possible. With my Asura’s Illusion, you should be able to level quite quickly!” Mentioning Asura’s Illusion, Tian Xiu looked at him with a fierce gaze.
