Every World Seems Not Quite Right Chapter 25

Finally finding his treasure that he lost for a long time

Just as Shao Qian was at a loss on how about to go up, a branch came from his side, circling around Shao Qian 's waist and sending him up to the door of his treehouse.

"Thank you." Shao Qian carried the teen and said his thanks towards the familiar person by his side.

"Your welcome, little fellow." That Treant pointed at the person in Shao Qian's embrace, speaking seriously, "It's okay if you want to rear this animal, but you can't let him hurt you."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Pei En." Shao Qian nodded his head firmly, grinning, "Grandpa Pei En, I'll put him in the house first.

"Go then." The Treant Pei En, used his branch and poked Shao Qian's forehead before taking a few steps away and setting his roots down.

As Shao Qian looked out the window at the Treant whose eyes were closed, his heart felt warm. These Treants were all a few hundred years old, to the extent that the chief, Grandpa Jie Si was above a thousand year old. Only, he rarely moved anymore.

It was at this moment, that the youth in Shao Qian's embrace groaned in pain, reaching over to scratch at his recovering wound. Upon seeing this, Shao Qian rushed to place him onto the simple bed, using an animal bone to cut open his clothes, throwing them to one side and pulling over a soft sleeping bag across the youth's  stomach to cover it.

Vincent had been on guard ever since that group of people brought him to the Illusionary Mist Forest, however, he never expected that the group of people would place Attracting Beast powder on his body. When he realised it, he used a water scroll to wash his body once over, but the remains on his body still attracted a few magic beasts. In his frenzy, he seemed to have fled to some place?

When Vincent regained his consciousness, he didn't open his eyes immediately. Instead, he used his rubbed his hands beneath his body first. Feeling that he was sleepy on a piece of animal fur, he was surprised, and subsequently, he felt as if his body was covered by something, the back of his hand touching the delicate fabric made him even more astonished, could it be he was actually saved by someone?

Thinking to here, Vincent opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a small child lying on the bed, looking at him in surprise. Could it be it was this child's family that saved him?

The moment Vincent had woken up, Shao Qian was aware of it. After all, when the person had woken up, his eyes had rolled a few times, most probably trying to figure out about his current situation, right?　

"You're awake?" The instant he saw the youth on the bed open his eyes, Shao Qian grinned, "How do you feel?"

Vincent looked blankly at the child, he felt a bit strange. The moment he saw this child, he felt the small urge to shed tears, the kind of feeling was as if he had finally found his treasure that he lost for a long time. This was obviously the first time he saw this child, right? Why did he have this sort of feeling?

"Hey, what kind of daze are you in?" Shao Qian was at a loss as he looked at the youth who didn't react for half a day, could it be he was scared stupid?

"You…… What is your name?" Vincent grabbed the hand that the youth was just about to wave in front of him, asking anxiously.

"……Jesse. My name is Jesse." Shao Qian glanced at his hand being grasped a bit painfully by the youth and reminded, "Can you release me."

"Apologies. I'm……Centvin." [1] Just as Vincent was about to introduce himself, he changed his name. Right now he was powerless, it was better to not tell the youth his real name for now. Moreover……

Vincent looked at Jesse's head full of black hair and felt indescribably distressed. By most, black hair and black pupils were viewed as the demons' colour, they were viewed as unknown. This child…… must have certainly suffered before.

Thinking to here, Vincent suddenly felt his shoulder become a bit heavy, his heart desiring indescribably to treat Jesse well, not wanting others to see him and reveal an expression of disgust, and even more, he didn't want others to hurt him. He had merely thought of the possibility that others would harm him, yet Vincent couldn't suppress the murderous intention in his heart.

The moment Centvin's killing intent spiked, Shao Qian was immediately alert. Why did this person upon introducing himself, suddenly emit a murderous aura, could he have thought of something?

"You're injured, you can rest in my house temporarily, but I do not recommend going out." Stay in the house and you would be fine, however, if you go out, then your safety couldn't be a.s.sured. After all, this was the Illusionary Mist Forest.

When Vincent heard Shao Qian's words, he was shocked. Glancing towards the window, he realised that they were currently in mid-air. Looking at the thick tree trunk outside, Vincent wondered if they were still inside the Illusionary Mist Forest? Could it be that this child had always been surviving in the Illusionary Mist Forest?

It could be a.s.sumed that after this child was rejected and expelled by others, he entered the forest to survive, and that his life here had been very hard. Unacceptable, when he found the opportunity, he would definitely bring him out.

Shao Qian was oblivious that Centvin had already placed him under his wing, even beginning to imagine how their lives would be after they leave the forest. Of course, he would first clean up those that wished to kill him, he didn't want to bring Jesse out only to be distracted by those a.s.sa.s.sinations and provocations.

"Have you always lived here?" Vincent looked around the room which held a small amount of household items and felt somewhat sad. Jesse must have had a very arduous life here, in the room, other than some animal skin, there wasn't a single piece of clothes.

"Yes." Shao Qian opened the sleeping bag and examined his wound, nodding in satisfaction, "It seems like the medicine was very useful. Your wound has already scarred over."

Vincent, hearing what Shao Qian said, felt a burst of grievance in his heart. Jesse definitely didn't know that right now, there were very little people that used medicine, that ancient thing. Nowadays, when someone suffered an injury, there would be a priest to treat it, pharmacists were already swept under the carpet of history.

Shao Qian watched as Vincent stared unblinkingly ar him in a daze, this person…… seems to be staring at him ever since he woke up. It wasn't such  'upon discovering his true ident.i.ty' greed, but……but……distress? Sympathy?

d.a.m.n it, seeing these kind of emotions from a stranger, he must be insane.

"Squeak……" [2] Just as Shao Qian was in a daze, there came an extra sound in the treehouse, a black orangutan climbed up and bared its fangs at Shao Qian.

Shao Qian began to become vacant before he immediately slapping his forehead. Previously, he had said that he would share his prey with the little orangutan. In the end, because he saved Centvin, he had left his prey behind……

When the little orangutan saw that Shao Qian didn't return its greeting, its face face fell, its entire body darkening in gloominess. Yiyiyi, didn't the little fellow agree to bring back some fruits for him, why did the little fellow bring back an inedible, weird species? This species' body actually didn't have any hair. The orangutan wasn't happy, it felt there was a crisis of the little fellow being s.n.a.t.c.hed away.

Thinking to here, the little orangutan glared fiercely at the person sitting on the bed. Not matter who they were, no one could s.n.a.t.c.h away his little fellow, whoever dared to, he  would eat them.

The moment Vincent saw the HanTian beast intruding into the treehouse, his facial complexion changed, how could there be a  fifth-grade HanTian beast cub?

The HanTian beast possesses extraordinary strength and is proficient in Earth Magic, so it was sorted into the higher ranks. Right now, a cub of a HanTian beast actually appeared before him, but it was  a fifth-grade cub.

If other people saw this scene, they would definitely exhaust every means to capture it alive, after all, a fifth-grade cub held limitless potential, and there was a possibility that as it grew older, it would be promoted to the ninth-grade, and may even become a holy-ranked beast. Imagine, who would be able to endure the temptation of their family having a ninth-grade, or holy-ranked, magic beast? So, most people would absolutely think up every possible method to s.n.a.t.c.h the cub away.

But, Vincent wasn't the same. Yes, he was anxious, but he wasn't anxious on planning how to capture this HanTian beast, but because, this annoying HanTian beast would it hurt Jesse? Right now, his magic still hasn't recovered, he was simply unable to confront a fifth-grade magic beast.

But…… But if it dared harm Jesse, he would use his life to kill it.

Only, the situation didn't seem to be at all as he imagined. He simply saw Jesse step forward and jump directly onto that HanTian beast, hugging its neck and laughing, "Little Tian, don't be angry. Next time, I'll definitely bring you along."

The HanTian beast would listen? This little orangutan, before Shao Qian had arrived at the Illusionary Mist Forest, was the centre area's little overlord. High ranked magic beasts, towards cubs were extremely tolerant, after all, the higher ranked the magic beasts were, the more difficult it was for them to have any young.

So, towards the Illusionary Mist Forest's only little magic beast, they were even more tolerant. It was only until Shao Qian arrived. Although Shao Qian teased cats and provoked dogs, playing around mischievously, but he had a sense of proportion. He wouldn't touch the bottom line of those high rank magic beasts, so he became the second cub those high rank magic beasts they doted on. Of course, the Treants' contribution also couldn't go unnoticed.

[1] Vincent – 文森

He reversed his name to 森文, and I was lazy and just did the same to Vincent; thus Centvin. Meh.

[2] It translates directly to squeak. Does a monkey squeak.
