BXBX NOVEL Chapter 681 - Moksha
"It seems that the value of the Qilin is much more than we thought it is." Adrian stated as they returned back to the courtyard as the event outside is no longer interesting.
"Why is Kimat looking at the Qilin like that?" Peridot asked as Kimat is looking at the Qilin warily.
"He is just suppressed in terms of elemental affinity as the Qilin has perfect mastery over lightning. Kimat is a lightning elemental cat so it makes sense that he could easily sense the disparity between them." Adrian replied as he knows that certain monsters can suppress others just by their aura.
"Also, what are you going to name the Qilin? Is it even a boy or a girl? Maybe it is without a gender since some monsters are like that?" Adrian asked series of questions that made Peridot get bombarded.
"It did not like the first name that I came up for it though." Peridot stated as the Qilin\'s eyes suddenly looked sharp.
"What did you want to name it first?" Adrian asked as he knows that Peridot has the most terrible naming sense out of all of them.
"I wanted to name it Qinchan but it vehemently refused. Also, Qilins do not have genders due to certain racial qualities." Peridot replied.
"Of course, it would hate that name as it is like a nickname that you tell someone who is cute not a name befitting a great beast." Adrian stated.
"See…he gets it as he named all his soulbounds with decent names that strike a good first impression." The Qilin stated as it already returned to its smaller form like the rest of Adrian\'s soulbounds since their huge bodies are too much for the courtyard.
"You said that all your life, you wanted freedom. If that is the case, then I would name you something to make sure that you will be remembered as someone who is free. A being not bound by difficulties of the world. Your new name would be Moksha." Peridot stated in a serious tone as she thought for this name ever since she got the Qilin.
"Moksha. I like it. From now on, I will be called Moksha." The Qilin, now named Moksha, stated with a proud air surrounding him.
"Where did you get that name?" Adrian asked as he is seriously shocked that Peridot thought of a great name. She would usually name all the small pets at school with names like Brown, Meow Meow or the hamster that they took care of with the name Hamchi.
"It is the word Freedom in the language of the Ryujin. It perfectly describes the Qilin\'s desire for liberation for the hundreds of years it got imprisoned in Mt. Thunder." Peridot replied with a smile and Adrian nodded.
Adrian could more or less see the Qilin with himself when he woke up from the accident. He could not leave the hospital for three months as his bones needed to slowly repair themselves. When he got released, he could not even go to school and just got homeschooled.
He did not get to enjoy life to the fullest but now is different. Pandemonium changed his life so much that he did not even want to go out and explore the real world. He could explore the vast universe of Pandemonium. Even his friends do not go out much since they do not want Adrian to feel that he is repressing their experience.
"It is a great name. So, what are the skills that are available to the Qilin?" Adrian asked as he is curious what a beast that even the prestigious houses of the eastern continent would want even at the cost of countless lives of others.
"The skills are actually insane. I will share them to you." Peridot stated as she shared the skills that the Qilin possessed.

\'What the heck is this monster?! It is able to get no damage from two elements and it could even heal from two elemental attributes. No wonder that annoying bastard wanted it despite sacrificing so many soldiers. This monster is really overpowered." Adrian stated.
"Why do you regret giving the Qilin to me? Huh?" Peridot teased.
"I admit that I am a bit envious, but I already have a fire elemental and a lightning elemental monster in my arsenal. I do not want multiple of the same elements for my soulbounds. I need to find a delicate balance which is why I have yet to find my seventh one." Adrian stated as he is being very picky with the seventh soulbound.
He also could not bear to let go of soulbounds which is why he decided that he must only collect monsters that he will be fighting with forever. It might be a cheesy sentiment, but Adrian values the time he spent in caring for others.
"You do not look like a cheesy person, but you really are one. Sometimes, I even cringe at the fact that you are that cheesy. Good thing that Levin Cloud is not like you or else I would barf every time that we hang out." Peridot stated.
"Speaking of Levin Cloud, do you not have any idea why he ditched me when I said that you would accompany me in the eastern continent?" Adrian asked.
"It seems that he is busy with something and said that he needed to get stronger or else he might slow you down." Peridot stated as she does not know the exact location of her significant other either.
"He told you what he was doing? I guess the saying about bros before gardening equipment is not true after all. He must be meeting his secret lover or side chick which is why he did not tell you about his exact location in the game." Adrian stated jokingly but Peridot\'s expression could only be expressed as something scary beyond belief.
"If he does have one, make sure that he is ready that I will break his bones in half. I will make sure that there is no more future for people him." Peridot stated with a smile that is not a smile.
"You actually think that he could do that? He is an introvert that rarely speak with others. Although, that is the trope that adventurous women want as they want to unleash his inner beast." Adrian stated.
"Where did you even learn that?" Peridot asked.
"Well, my big sister is an avid reader of novels like that. She says that it is more fun chasing a shy guy than a confident one. She said that they are cute at the start but then become dangerously spicy when they let out their inner beast. It is fine as he does not fit that kind of image anyway." Adrian stated but Peridot suddenly stood up.
"Where are you going?" Adrian asked.
"I am helping my master with the process.." Peridot stated as she hurriedly went to look for her master and Adrian followed as he is curious about the process.
