"What?"
Bai Xiaohu was surprised when Qin Xuan asked about its intelligence, as he thought Qin Xuan would ask about other things.
After all, its biggest secret wasn't this.
"Intelligence, what exactly is going on with your intelligence?"
"A Bai Xiaohu that isn't even level one, with such intelligence, I can't help but suspect if you've been taken over by a Human Race in a Possession."
Normally, Possession occurs between members of the same race.
However, there were exceptions.
Sometimes, a Cultivator could perform a Possession on a Spirit Beast.
It was just that the conditions were very strict.
"One's Mental Energy must be strong enough, and one's cultivation must not be too low, only then is it possible to successfully perform a Possession on a Spirit Beast."
Qin Xuan looked at this Bai Xiaohu with great interest.
"No, I'm not, don't talk nonsense, I am a thorough beast, I'll get angry with anyone who says I'm human!"
Bai Xiaohu bared its fangs and claws.
"Then tell me, what exactly is going on with your intelligence? Also, who taught you to speak like that?"
"Even for humans, to learn to speak, they have to learn from others since childhood; there's never been anyone who could naturally learn it."
"I, our Baihu Clan's intelligence is inherently high, as for human language, naturally, our Baihu Clan's Elders taught it."
Bai Xiaohu said somewhat guiltily.
Listening to this, the smile on Qin Xuan's face grew even wider.
"Oh, so you're from the Baihu Clan?"
"Of course, I am certainly from the Baihu Clan. You Human Race brat, since you know I'm from the Baihu Clan, why aren't you letting me go quickly? Otherwise, our Baihu Clan's Elders won't let you off!"
As Bai Xiaohu spoke, its eyes darted around, and it began to threaten Qin Xuan.
Listening to this, Qin Xuan merely smiled, his eyes on Bai Xiaohu filled with amusement, which made Bai Xiaohu feel a bit uneasy and guilty.
"Do you know that the Baihu Clan was wiped out in the Ancient Era? To this day, the only ones with the Baihu Bloodline are a branch of the Human Race, known as the White Tiger Family."
"But you seem to know nothing at all, which makes me very curious!"
Qin Xuan lifted Bai Xiaohu to his front, looking at it with a serious expression.
"Tell me honestly, in which era do you truly live?"
"At the very least, the era you live in is definitely not the present!"
Listening to this, Bai Xiaohu clearly became a bit flustered.
It stammered, looking around, and only after a long while did it manage to utter a few words.
"I don't know what you mean by the ancient era, I'll just tell you, if you dare to touch me, my family won't let you off."
Bai Xiaohu threatened Qin Xuan, but it was obvious from its demeanor that it was merely putting on a brave front, completely lacking any real power.
"Qin Xuan, this little fellow might really be something. In my opinion, it might truly be from the White Tiger Family."
Just then, Han Ye sent a Mental Energy message to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan also nodded in understanding.
Clearly, the identity of this Bai Xiaohu was not simple.
This made Qin Xuan even more curious about Bai Xiaohu.
What exactly was going on with this Bai Xiaohu?
"Speak, will you honestly confess or do you want to suffer a bit? You are from the Baihu Clan, and in consideration of your Baihu Clan's former prestige, I am willing to give you a chance."
As Qin Xuan spoke, Bai Xiaohu squeezed out a hint of innocence on its face.
"I really don't know what you mean..."
Bai Xiaohu still wanted to play dumb, but Qin Xuan's Mental Energy instantly pressed down, suppressing it until it couldn't breathe.
"Don't try to deceive me. If you really dare to do that, I will definitely make you regret it."
Qin Xuan's expression became incredibly solemn; it was clear that his threat was very serious.
Listening to Qin Xuan's threat, Bai Xiaohu stammered for a long while before finally nodding hesitantly.
"Alright, I can see that you're not someone to be trifled with. How about this, I'll confess now."
Then, Bai Xiaohu pointed one paw to the sky and one to the ground, its face becoming incredibly serious.
"Although I don't know what you mean by the ancient era, I have actually been in a very long slumber, only waking up a dozen days ago."
"As for intelligence, our Baihu Clan's intelligence is inherently stronger than that of other Spirit Beasts, so there's no need to even mention it. I once lived with humans for a very long time, so I know all human languages."
Bai Xiaohu's expression was very serious, without any hesitation.
"Slept for a very long time!"
Qin Xuan's expression began to become incredibly serious.
Unlike Han Ye, this Bai Xiaohu in front of him might truly have slept from a very ancient past until now.
If that were truly the case, it meant that this Bai Xiaohu might know a great many secrets, so many that they might not even be recorded in those ancient texts!
