The familiar tone made Sang Qingxiao feel a wave of confusion; Qi Xiaomian seemed completely confident in persuading the Silly Beast.
Indeed, it appeared to be the first time the Silly Beast was making its own decision. For some unknown reason, while still a bit dazed, it nodded its head, and only after that did it sluggishly realize what it had done.
At first, it reacted with eagerness, then surprise, and finally confusion. Its expressions were quite varied and unpredictable, yet it did not seem to harbor any hostility.
With its innocent big eyes, it stole glances at Qi Xiaomian again and again, eventually revealing a hint of tears. Gathering its courage, it approached and stood just a step away from Qi Xiaomian, extending its finger to gently poke at Qi Xiaomian's heart.
Qi Xiaomian raised a hand to cover his own heart. I think I know who you’re thinking of, but I’m sorry, I’m not him.
The Silly Beast spoke up, its voice rough and muffled, filled with grievance and a touch of a spoiled tone.
I don’t want to deceive you; I was forced to accept his Magic Breath and have since made it my own. I’ve heard that Magic Breath recognizes its master. If it has changed masters, it means the Original Owner is no longer around.
When a master dies, the Magic Breath will linger near the place of death for a while before dissipating; this duration depends on the strength of the Magic Breath.
So what I want to say is that before I accepted the Magic Breath, your master had already died. You should be very clear about this deep down; can you still not accept it?
The Silly Beast sniffled a few times before tears began to flow uncontrollably down its face.
After it cried for a while, Qi Xiaomian finally asked, Did you recognize another master?
The Silly Beast once again poked at his heart with its finger.
You mean there’s also your original master’s Magic Breath inside you?
Yes, quite a lot actually. It almost suffocated me back then! But I must say that without it, I would have surely died when I fell from such a high cliff!
The Silly Beast seemed to really like the aura around Qi Xiaomian, cautiously exploring with its palm against him.
Does your master treat you well?
Qi Xiaomian continued to lead the conversation.
Not my master; he’s just like me—simple-minded and hungry.
You mean you haven’t recognized him as your master yet? Is it because he feeds you that you’re temporarily following him?
You also said he’s like you; does that mean he once followed your Original Owner alongside you?
Silly Beast nodded.
You've done quite a bit for him, haven't you?
Silly Beast nodded again.
And you've killed quite a few people for him, right?
Kill? Silly Beast didn't quite understand.
Qi Xiaomian reminded him that in Meizhou City, there was a man in red who had died, his life force completely drained, and he had been cruelly tortured.
Silly Beast understood; he had delivered them.
But was that all? You never took their life force away? You never harmed them?
Silly Beast shook his head and added, I captured people.
You caught the people, and you also moved the corpses. He treats you like a shield; if anything goes wrong, he will push you out front. With your simple-mindedness, once he gives an order, you probably won't betray him.
It's truly a bit pitiful.
Do you know where all that life force went?
Silly Beast hesitated and then nodded, for my master.
