C1017 Contract Spirit Beast
Although Du Qi didn't understand what Jiaojiao meant, Yuwen Qianmo was very clear about it. Although the Red Refined Golden Crow was a snake, it was an ancient bloodline. Although Jiaojiao had the bloodline of a dragon, it wasn't pure. In terms of bloodline alone, the Red Refined Golden Crow was not much worse than Jiaojiao. If Jiaojiao's blood essence was refined by the Scarlet Refined Golden Crow, it wouldn't only affect her cultivation. Moreover, it wouldn't be of much help to the Golden Crow. Most importantly... Once the Golden Crow refined Jiaojiao's blood essence, even if it obtained dragon blood in the future... Even if it were to forcefully refine it, it wouldn't be of any help. It was virtually impossible to borrow the dragon blood to transform into a dragon.
As if to cover up his embarrassment, Yuwen Qianmo continued to shout, "Mr. Du, this is your fault. A spirit beast like Jiaojiao, if you don't sign a contract with it, you will be letting it down."
Du Qi was puzzled and said, "I treat Jiaojiao as a friend. Don't tell me I haven't treated her as a servant and treated her well?"
Yuwen Qianmo rolled his eyes and said, "This idea of Mr. Du can't be said to people, but to Jiaojiao. It was indeed inappropriate! One should know that special ability beasts such as Jiaojiao and the Red Refined Golden Crow... In the eyes of cultivators, they are spirit beasts, but demons in the eyes of others. Whether it was the Heavenly Dao or others, there were many threats. If Mr. Du only maintained this kind of relationship with Jiaojiao... It's hard to protect Jiaojiao.
If Mr. Du and Jiaojiao signed a master-servant contract, then Jiaojiao would be Mr. Du's contracted spirit beast. The situation was completely different. Not only could she eliminate many people from the danger, but she could also eliminate many people from the danger. Moreover, it could help Jiaojiao block some of the Undeserved Heavenly Tribulation. After all, there were many self-righteous people in this world who liked to use the slogan of vanquishing demons and devils. Catching spirit beasts of mass slaughter was actually because they coveted the treasures of spirit beasts. However, they usually wouldn't attack contracted spirit beasts. As the saying went, beating a dog depended on its owner. Otherwise, it would cause unnecessary trouble, or at least cause them to lose the reputation of meddling in other people's business.
As for those cultivators, if they didn't have a deep grudge with the owner, or when they were fighting to the death, they wouldn't usually kill the contracted spirit beast. More importantly, the Heavenly Dao allowed the existence of the contracted spirit beast. In other words, other than the tribulation that had to be overcome, the Heavenly Axiom wouldn't blame the contracted spirit beast too much. Even if contracted spirit beasts occasionally violated the Heavenly Dao, as long as the master's cultivation was strong enough, however, if their master's cultivation base is strong enough, or if their face is big enough, they can be forgiven."
Hearing Yuwen Qianmo's long speech, Du Qi's thoughts could not help but churn. Ever since Jiaojiao followed him, he had been very careful, even if his life was in danger. He was worried that he would attract those warlocks who were meddling in other people's business if he wasn't careful. He would bring unnecessary trouble to himself and Jiaojiao. He might even bring an undeserved heavenly tribulation or life-threatening danger to Jiaojiao. However, he had never heard about what Yuwen Qianmo had said before. He couldn't help but have some doubts. Therefore, he said, "Mister, I appreciate your good intentions. Mister, there is no need for you to say anything else!"
Seeing Du Qi's decisiveness, Yuwen Qianmo did not say anything else. He could only sigh in his heart, but Jiaojiao said, "Young Master, what Mister said is the truth. If Mister is sincere, it would be for Jiaojiao's good. * Hong Long...... *"
Seeing Jiaojiao's words, Du Qi felt somewhat grateful. He didn't doubt her sincerity. At this stage, he really needed Jiaojiao's full support in order to break out of this world. Although he didn't know if he could better protect Jiaojiao after signing the contract, he knew that Jiaojiao would definitely transform into a dragon in the future. She would be an extremely lofty existence. Once she had the experience of contracting a spirit beast... Jiaojiao would be looked down upon by others. It would be very difficult for her to raise her head and become a dragon.
Yuwen Qianmo seemed to understand Du Qi's thoughts. After pondering for a long time, he followed Jiaojiao's advice and said, "Mr. Du, I know that you don't want to sign a contract with Jiaojiao because it's for Jiaojiao's good. But have you ever thought about a spirit beast like Jiaojiao? Without strong protection, it would be very difficult for it to grow. How could there be any glory in the future? And the only one who could protect Jiaojiao was you. The only way was also the only way. It was to make Jiaojiao face danger at all times, to be on tenterhooks, and to make it difficult for her to make any progress in her cultivation. In the end, there was no hope of becoming a dragon. It was better to give Jiaojiao a safe environment. It all depended on Mr. Du's choice to allow Jiaojiao to transform into a dragon. That's all I have to say. I won't say anything else!"
Without waiting for Du Qi to speak, Jiaojiao continued, "Young Master, please don't hesitate anymore and fulfill Jiaojiao's wish!"
Du Qi knew that Jiaojiao and Yuwen Qianmo had already said this much. If he stubbornly refused to sign the contract with Jiaojiao, not only would he not receive her gratitude, but he would also not be able to do so. On the contrary, it would cause Jiaojiao to feel a chill in her heart, and she might even leave him. It might be better to be forced to become someone else's contract spirit beast. After thinking about it... Du Qi could only change his mind. However, he still said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, I promise you!"
Jiaojiao was overjoyed when she heard this, but Yuwen Qianmo said disdainfully, "Come on, Mr. Du, you clearly took advantage of me. It's like someone took advantage of you. What do you say? After taking advantage of me, you are still pretending to be obedient. Look at Mr. Du's current appearance. It's not like that!"
Du Qi laughed lightly and scolded, "Don't talk rubbish. Hurry up and tell me the method to sign the master-servant contract."
Yuwen Qianmo laughed strangely and said, "Are you out of your mind? I clearly just taught you, and you still want it from me?"
Du Qi smiled and said, "Can't I forget? I'm happy? It's more like I'm angry with you!"
Yuwen Qianmo sighed and said," You forgot it so quickly? Sigh, rotten wood really can't be carved! If you want to learn my old man's secret, why don't you quickly listen to me?"
Du Qi lightly laughed and said," Dream on! Jiaojiao, come over, let's sign the contract! "
Jiaojiao replied happily and placed her huge head in front of Du Qi. She opened her divine sense to Du Qi without any reservation, as if she was waiting for Du Qi to slaughter her. Yuwen Qianmo couldn't help but burst into laughter upon seeing this, causing Du Qi and Jiaojiao to burst into laughter as well.
Du Qi didn't want to have too many interactions with Yuwen Qianmo after meeting him through borrowing the corpse's soul. He intended to help Yuwen Qianmo recover a certain level of his cultivation base before going on his own path. After all, he still had some feelings about Yuwen Qianmo wanting to take over his body and reincarnate. Plus, their relationship was unclear. Also, Yuwen Qianmo was an old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years. Du Qi was worried that he would fall into his trap if he was not careful. At that time, he might not even have the chance to regret it.
Later on, Du Qi thought highly of Yuwen Qianmo's ability and wanted to keep him by his side. And... He called Yuwen Qianmo sir, but it made the relationship between him and Yuwen Qianmo even more subtle. Today, for the sake of Jiaojiao, the atmosphere had unexpectedly become lively. They looked at each other and smiled.
It was this smile that not only eliminated the grudge between them, it also allowed them to establish an unbreakable friendship!
