The black jade beast looked like a mix between a bear and a dog. It was chubby and cute. Even as a jade statue, it looked like a work of art.
The black jade beast's body was red. It was like it had been soaked in blood. It was going to bleed.
Katcha! Katcha! Katcha!
The black jade beast's body started to move. It was very stiff. It was like a rusty robot.
Every time it moved, the black jade shell on its body cracked. The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and the pieces fell off. Under the black jade, wet brown fur was revealed.
White King and the blue-clothed fairy looked shocked. If Han Sen had only woken up the black jade beast, they would have been shocked. They would not have been so confused.
The reason they were confused was because the black jade beast's appearance could not be called waking up.
Waking up meant the jade statue had a mind of its own. Jade statues were still jade statues. Their bodies were dead. They did not have the life cycle of a real creature.
To put it bluntly, the jade fairies in Black King City were just Black King's puppets. When Black King was there, they had a mind of their own. When Black King was not there, they were just a bunch of jade statues.
Now, the black jade beast did not have a jade body. It had a body of flesh. It was not as simple as waking up.
"Roar!"
A roar shook the entire Black Jade City. The little black jade beast stood upright and roared at the sky. The remnants of the black jade on its body scattered in all directions, revealing its flesh and blood.
"It is alive?"
The blue-robed fairy was dumbfounded. Even billions of years ago, she had never seen such a shocking scene.
Back then, the fairy came to White Jade Jing and turned it into twelve buildings and five cities. Everything there was made by that fairy.
Pavilions, towers, jade cities, grass, trees, beasts, birds, bugs, and fish were all made by him using jade statues.
Because White Jade Jing used up all of the fairy's power, the fairy only gave life and soul to the seventeen most important jade statues of the twelve buildings and five cities.
As for the other jade carvings, although they were also made by immortals, they could only rely on the power of Black Emperor and the other seventeen jade immortals to survive. They were not real life forms.
Now, the little black beast had become a real life form. This power was like the fairy who created the White Jade Jing. How could the blue-clothed fairy and White King not be shocked?
Now that the little black beast had a real body, it shook its body and looked around. Finally, its eyes fell on Han Sen. Then, it jumped toward Han Sen.
Han Sen was trapped by the Immortal Trapping Net and couldn't dodge at all. He was pounced on by the little black beast.
But the little black beast didn't want to hurt Han Sen. It stuck out its tongue and licked Han Sen's face. It looked very affectionate, as if it was treating Han Sen like a family member.
"Stop licking …" Han Sen's hands couldn't move, so he could only let the little black beast lick his face. No matter how hard he tried to stop it, it was useless.
When the little black beast finally calmed down and stopped licking him, Han Sen said, "How is it? Do you believe me now?"
"Bottle Fairy, let him go," White King said.
The shock in the blue-clothed fairy's eyes did not fade. After hearing White King's order, she reacted. She put away her expression and waved her hand to put away the trap fairy net.
Han Sen stood up and moved his arms and legs. When the little black beast saw Han Sen move, it thought Han Sen was going to play with it. It happily leaped forward.
Han Sen held its head. The little guy's arms and legs were short. Its claws were like wind and fire wheels, but they couldn't touch Han Sen's body.
"Little guy, go play somewhere else," Han Sen said to the little black beast.
The little black beast seemed to understand Han Sen. It crawled to the side. As it crawled, it looked back at Han Sen. It didn't want to leave.
"What is your name?" White King was still cold and expressionless, but his words were much more polite.
"My name is Han Sen," Han Sen answered.
White King nodded. He looked at Han Sen and said, "If you can give the jade fairies of White Jade Jing a body, not only can we forget about Black King, but you can also become a friend of White Jade Jing."
"I wonder what benefits there are for becoming a friend of White Jade Jing?"
Han Sen could tell that White King and the blue-clothed fairy, who was called Bottle Fairy, were shocked by the little black beast's revival.
Plus, White King was talking about all the jade fairies of White Jade Jing. It wasn't just Black King City. That was interesting.
White King said, "If there is anything you need help with, as long as it doesn't break the White Jade Jing's fairy law, I will do it for you."
"That sounds good," Han Sen said. "But how do I know if you guys will keep your promise? You should know that reviving the jade statue required a lot of power. If you want to give all the creatures here a body, it won't be easy. I don't think even eight or ten years will be enough."
"Let's not talk about eight or ten years. We can wait a hundred or a thousand years. If you are willing to do it, we can wait a million years."
White King paused and said, "As for your worries, they are unnecessary. We follow the fairy law. We are bound by the fairy law. If we make a promise, we have to follow it. If we don't, we will be punished by the White Jade Jing's fairy law. Even I am not an exception."
Han Sen saw that White King was serious. He didn't seem to be joking, so he asked, "What is the fairy law?"
"Mister, please come this way," White King said. He walked out of Black King City.
Han Sen did not hesitate. He followed. Bottle Fairy followed behind Han Sen. She looked at Han Sen's back with a complicated expression.
There were twelve buildings and five cities. Han Sen had seen them before. Although the twelve buildings and five cities were bigger, there was not much difference.
White King did not take Han Sen to the twelve buildings and five cities. After going through the five cities, they reached the highest point of White Jade Jing. There was a white jade tablet there.
There were many rules on the white jade tablet. Han Sen looked at them. Many of the rules were weird, but they were very strict.
One of the fairy laws said that if a jade fairy made a promise, it could not be broken. If it was broken, the White Jade Jing would take back the fairy body.
Because there were too many rules, Han Sen was not in the mood to read them all. He looked at them and saw a picture in the lower left corner of the white jade tablet.
The white jade tablet only had words on it. Only that corner had a picture. It was a small gourd picture.
Han Sen thought the gourd picture looked familiar. It looked like the gourd Bao'er had before she was born. The size and shape were similar.
