Chapter 63: Pitiful Fire Dragon
Feeling that she had gathered enough, Leng Ruoxue stopped. Anyway, the fire dragon couldn’t run away. She could get some at any time if she needed its blood!
Seeing the woman finally stop collecting its blood, the enormous fire dragon finally felt relieved. After all, it didn’t want to be the first dragon to die from excessive blood loss. But it didn’t know Leng Ruoxue’s thoughts yet. It would be depressed to death if it knew.
“Hey, big lizard, I want you to be my subordinate’s spirit beast!” Leng Ruoxue cut straight to the chase.
“I don’t want to. I don’t want to be a human’s spirit beast,” the fire dragon refused arrogantly. It was a noble dragon. How could it be a human’s spirit beast? If other dragons knew it became a contracted spirit beast to a human, it wouldn’t be able to raise its dragon head in front of them. It was absolutely impossible.
“Die or become a spirit beast. Choose one,” Leng Ruoxue threatened. She had always been very friendly to spirit beasts and never liked to force spirit beasts into contracts. But extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures. She was in urgent need of a level nine holy beast. Moreover, she knew that threatening was the most practical and effective method for this timid lizard.
“Boohoo…” Tears welled up in the fire dragon’s giant eyes. It didn’t want to be a spirit beast, nor did it want to die. But it couldn’t run away either, so it was in a dilemma, a dilemma… considering.
Even though it didn’t respond for a long time, Leng Ruoxue didn’t rush it. She could tell that the big lizard was unwilling to die, so she gave it some time. She was the most humane.
“I-I agree to be a spirit beast, but I have a condition,” the fire dragon said after some thought.
“Tell me!”
“You humans can’t force me to do things I don’t want to,” the fire dragon said. It had thought for a long time and knew that these two humans wouldn’t let it go, so it wanted a condition in return. This was for the dignity of dragons!
“Okay. But you have to protect my subordinate, and I want you to sign a soul contract with him,” Leng Ruoxue said. Dragons and phoenixes were spirit beasts with ancient noble bloodlines, and their status was the highest among all spirit beasts.
“You know about the soul contract?” the fire dragon said in surprise.
“Is it strange? Dragons and phoenixes aren’t the only spirit beasts with ancient bloodlines on the Ling Feng Continent!” Leng Ruoxue said mockingly. Does this stinky lizard think I’m inexperienced?
“Uh, I agree to sign the soul contract,” the fire dragon said quickly, a little embarrassed. It could feel that this female jinx was a little angry.
Leng Ruoxue stored the fire dragon in her pet ring and went back to the Leng residence with Ye Chen on Quill’s back.
“Miss…” Lin Yuan looked at Leng Ruoxue hesitantly.
“What’s the matter?” Leng Ruoxue looked doubtfully at Lin Yuan, who kept giving her meaningful glances. She turned around and found her grandfather standing behind her.
“Stinky girl, you’re finally back!” Leng Qingtian roared angrily.
“Grandpa, I’ve only been out for a few days. You don’t have to be so angry!” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. Grandpa’s temperament is becoming more childish recently.
“You still dare to say it? Let me ask you, what was that pill you gave me?” Leng Qingtian said furiously.
“Green spirit pill!”
“What for?”
“Spirit beast advancements!”
“Damn girl, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Leng Qingtian said breathlessly.
“I thought Thunder Night would know. Hehe!” Leng Ruoxue didn’t mean to keep it a secret. She really forgot about it, and she had already left Phoenix City when she remembered. Moreover, she thought Thunder Night would know, so she didn’t turn back. After all, the sense of smell of spirit beasts was much more sensitive than that of humans. Otherwise, why would those precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures be discovered by spirit beasts first!
“Thunder Night has been with Grandpa since he was still in an egg. How could he know?” Leng Qingtian complained while looking at his precious granddaughter with resentful eyes.
“Grandpa, did Thunder Night not advance after eating it?” Leng Ruoxue guessed. Why else would Grandpa be angry?
“He advanced,” Leng Qingtian said in a huff.
“Then why is Grandpa still angry? Thunder Night is already a divine beast.” Leng Ruoxue smiled gently.
“I’m angry because the commotion during the advancement attracted many powerhouses,” Leng Qingtian said in annoyance.
“Uh… why didn’t you find a secretive place?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help asking. Even though she didn’t care if others knew about it, her grandfather didn’t seem to want others to know!
“There wasn’t enough time.”
“Why wasn’t there enough time?” Leng Ruoxue was a little puzzled. The advancement to divine beast shouldn’t be so fast, right?
“Thunder Night took the pill and advanced in less than a few minutes,” Leng Qingtian said. Then he advanced as well because of Thunder Night. He was now at intermediate Spiritual Supremacy and would advance to advanced Spiritual Supremacy soon.
“So fast?” Leng Ruoxue asked.
“Master, I guess Thunder Night advanced so fast because he had abundant spiritual power in his body. In fact, even without your green spirit pill, I believe that Thunder Night would have advanced by himself soon enough.” Charm communicated with Leng Ruoxue in their minds.
Leng Ruoxue nodded. She heard from her grandfather that Thunder Night had good aptitude and was born as a level nine spirit beast.
“Grandpa, there’s nothing much you can do since the commotion has already happened! You shouldn’t be angry anymore!” Leng Ruoxue coaxed.
“The winds howl around the highest peaks. It will attract envy,” Leng Qingtian said. He was afraid that someone would do something underhanded. He was a Spiritual Supremacy and had a divine beast, so it was difficult for others not to be envious. Some people might not dare to do it openly, but it was possible to do it in secret. No one dared to touch him because of his strength, but it didn’t mean that no one would touch the people around him.
“Let them try. Anyone who dares court death will be killed without mercy!” Leng Ruoxue said coldly. They had to ask if she agreed before hurting her family.
“Perhaps I’m too worried!” Leng Qingtian sighed. With Xue’er around, I really don’t need to worry so much.
“Xue’er, did you find the level nine holy beast?” Leng Qingtian finally remembered why she left home after complaining for a while.
