《The Adventure of Holy Beast Bai Xiaoli》C24. I’m His Closest Person.
Advertisement
Joyce coughs with embarrassment, and can’t help to get dirty thoughts, especially when it’s said by Bai Xiaoli. “It feels good” really causes others’ reverie, OK?
Cang Yan squints at Joyce. They have known each other for many years, so Cang Yan can see through his little ideas.
“Um…ha-ha, today we have new members joining us. Tonight, let’s go to Tianjing Hotel to celebrate?” Joyce turns to another subject.
Hearing this, Bai Xiaoli thinks of immediately the delicious barbecue in Tianjing Hotel, blinking his doe-eyes with hope, like a little beast waiting his master to feed him.
Cang Yan: “…”
How can he say no?
Since last time Bai Xiaoli encounters Long Lan at Tianjing Hotel, Bai Xiaoli has never been there again to take a meal. In Long Lan’s words, he has to pay two persons’ expenses with his own pin money. What’s more, Bai Xiaoli is fond of eating and can’t bear one meal without meat; except meals, he also needs snacks, so it’s a huge cost to feed Bai Xiaoli. Now we can see, the previous “Young Lord Long Lan” already becomes a poor living frugally for raising Bai Xiaoli.
At night, in the dinning box of Tianjing Hotel.
Joyce drives Cang Yan, Rovell, Bai Xiaoli and Long Lan to the hotel, then goes to pick up Ainy, who is shopping in the down-town with her friends and hasn’t yet come back.
While waiting Joyce and Annie, Cang Yan keeps observing the interaction between Bai Xiaoli and Long Lan. Long Lan always cares for Bai Xiaoli like he is a child. When Long Lan goes to the bathroom, Cang Yan follows.
Getting out of the toilet, Long Lan finds Cang Yan standing beside the sink and he asks doubtfully: “Captain, are you waiting for me?”
“Yes.” Cang Yan replies, “I have something to ask you, about Bai Xiaoli.”

Long Lan becomes more curious, “Do you know him before? If not, how can you know that Xiaoli likes eating meat so much?”
This question is not easy to answer; he can’t say no, because Bai Xiaoli is his soul beast, but if he says yes, today it is just the first time they have meet each other.
“Kind of, can you tell me how you meet him?”
Long Lan smiles, “It’s a coincidence; it’s right here where I meet him.”
Then, Long Lan tells all those stories to Cang Yan about how he meets Bai Xiaoli in Tianjing Hotel, his guess about Bai’s memory loss, and his bittersweet experience of raising Bai Xiaoli as his son during one year and half, which have been hidden in his heart so long, but today he finally finds someone to tell.
Cang Tan keeps listening quietly, blaming himself. Bai Xiaoli does not have memory loss, but doesn’t know how to live in the human society. He summons Bai to come here, but fails to take care of him. Cang Yan feels deeply guilty.
Long Lan met Bai Xiaoli one year and half ago which doesn’t correspond to the time when he summoned his soul beast, so, before meeting Long Lan, where has Bai Xiaoli been? How has he passed that period? Has he spent so long time in the forest far from the city? “Now that you know each other, do you know where he lives? Does he have a family? Are they looking for Xiaoli? Even his identity certificate is handled through some relation of my mother. I don’t know who he was, so that’s the only way.”
“I should be his closest person. I have been looking for him, and I have never thought that he is with you. Long Lan, thank you for taking care of Xiaoli so long a time. I will remember your kindness.” Cang Yan appreciates sincerely.

Soul beast master’s life is connected with his soul beast.
Through practicing, human beings can get star mind, but the appearance of soul mind depends on providence and it can’t be reached through any practice.
Only the one possessing soul mind can be a soul beast master, wielding and refining soul mind, and summoning his soul beast. There is only one soul mind for each person. There is also only one chance during one’s life to summon his soul beast. There are two results only, break into the top or descent into the hell.
Once summoning succeeds, the soul beast master and his soul beast will be integrated spiritually, they will share the star power together, and two figures are tied in one life. Since bonded with each other, one party’s death will bring to another party an inseparable harm—normally, two parties will die together. Even if one party survives by a fluke, the survivor will only suffer until death.
Soul beast has various abilities which make them promote faster than human being, because people and his soul beast share together the star power. The soul beast is also referred as “stock of star power of the soul beast master”. The soul beast master and his soul beast ganging up in the battle, is called “The Strongest Coalition”.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
