I Was Chosen by the Legendary Beast

The title of the work is I was chosen by the legendary mythical beast Qilin: The opening chapter is when I was ten years old, I returned to my hometown. I was at the house of a respected old man in the village and heard a group of old people say that there is a legend here. In the past, an old man in the village lived by the river. In the middle of the night that summer, he heard something. After bursts of low roaring sounds, he put on his shoes and quietly came to the riverside. He saw an animal with a dragon head and a horse in the middle of the river. It roared low and seemed to be very painful. The next day, he told other villagers that they all said that he must have hallucinated and some said that he was dreaming. After I listened to what the old man said, I asked: Apart from him, has anyone else seen it? The old man said: This is just a legend, no one really saw it, except for him who said he saw it, but no one believed it, and I didn't believe it anyway. The old man said, I said it might be true! My dad said next to me: Do you read too many novels every day? After listening to what he said, I felt that maybe my thoughts were too fantasy. Then in the afternoon of the next day, my father and I had dinner, and then my father offered to take me to the river for swimming. He rode his motorcycle nearby and took me to the riverside. I felt a vague mysterious call to me. My father and I took off our pants, and my father jumped into the river to swim first. Then, when I jumped into the river, the call became more and more intense. I followed the call when I had the strength, and I swam farther and farther with the call. Then I dived deeper into the water. Then, I saw the legendary water beast in the village, which looked exactly like the legendary dragon with a head and a horse body. He opened his mouth and said: You are my chosen one. Then, without waiting for my reaction, he dived directly into my body.
