Chapter 314: Chapter 314
"Shut up!" the Emperor Python King angrily reprimanded, looking at the Little Poisonous Python as if it were a love-struck fool, "What do you know! This human even dares to threaten their own kind, they’re no good person! What good can come from following her? You’ll probably end up not even knowing how you died!"
"You’re talking crap!" Qian Ba ran up to Qian Qi’s feet, furious at the Emperor Python King’s slander, and barked angrily at it, "The Contractor is the best! You don’t understand the Contractor at all!"
"Exactly, believe it or not, I’ll curse you to shed snake scales every day from now on!" Moyu flew onto Qian Qi’s shoulder, cursing and shouting.
The Emperor Python King glanced at Qian Ba and Moyu, ignoring them. It wasn’t out of contempt or disdain but simply because its size was too large to hear their ant-like voices from the ground. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Dad, you’re confused, aren’t you!" The Little Poisonous Python on the ground cried, looking desperate, "Living one more day is better than dying today! Don’t you understand this simple truth?"
Emperor Python King: ...
Emperor Python King: "Even in death, there must be dignity..."
"Contractor, don’t listen to him!" Seeing that reasoning with his old man wasn’t working, the Little Poisonous Python tearfully gazed at Qian Qi, eyes full of hope, "I’ll make a contract with you! Once it’s done, please heal me quickly!"
It really was in immense pain and didn’t want to suffer any longer! Surviving was the most important thing!
Seeing the Little Poisonous Python in such a pathetic state, the Emperor Python King was speechless, and Gong Qiang and the others, with the Blood Blade at their throats, broke into a sweat as they watched.
What actually happened, what really happened? It was their first time seeing an A-level Magical Beast stoop so low to beg for a contract!
The comments flew wildly:
[-- Damn, is this something I can see for free?]
[-- What happened, I just bent down to pick up a pen, and suddenly the Emperor Pythons surrendered?]
[-- Are Magical Beasts so easy to contract these days? This is an A-level Magical Beast! I clearly heard that they would rather die in battle than ever become Contracted Beasts?]
[-- Maybe it’s because... Magical Beasts will never be slaves, unless their entire tribe is wiped out?]
Seeing the Little Poisonous Python being so sensible, Qian Qi patted its head reassuringly, "Then release the Contract Pattern."
The Little Poisonous Python didn’t understand why Qian Qi didn’t release the Contract Pattern herself but asked it to do so. Probably to assert her authority, it then released a red Contract Pattern, "Alright! We agreed, after the contract, you can’t kill me, and you can’t kill my whole species either!"
Seeing the Little Poisonous Python take the initiative to release the Contract Pattern, the Emperor Python King, looking at its son eagerly becoming part of a stingy match, instantly became furious, "Human, don’t be too greedy!"
If you want to contract my son, you should genuinely release your own Contract Pattern!
Having the young Python release the Contract Pattern first reeked of being unable to afford the bride price, so she beat up their son and then had him kneel with a dowry to beg for forgiveness before marrying into their family!
What a disgrace, an utter disgrace!
Qian Qi reached into the Contract Pattern and successfully contracted the young Python with her second spiritual power. Upon hearing the Emperor Python King’s impotent roar, she smirked, "Old snakehead, do you want to contract with me too?"
Emperor Python King: ?
Lusting after its son wasn’t enough, and now she craves it too?
"I can offer you an Emperor Lotus Field that won’t corrode you and let you become an S-Class Evolved Magical Beast." Her spiritual power transmitted into the Emperor Python King’s ears as Qian Qi crossed her arms, successfully contracting an A-level Magical Beast put her in a great mood, exuding a laid-back yet warm aura, "Or, will you all come with me? Your son is a bit weak, if it can’t win against someone, it can call for backup."
Emperor Python King: ...
The Emperor Python King was in a frenzy of heart-stirring thoughts.
What is this Legendary Beast Master all about, could they actually be quite nice?
Perhaps it was its first time encountering such an ’artistic’ person, and the Emperor Python King felt the ’cake’ was quite appealing. Although calling its son weak was rude, its son indeed was weak.
Moreover, the Emperor Python King was not at ease letting its son go with Qian Qi just like that. What if this foolish son got bullied and couldn’t go back home to complain?
Maybe it should back its son up and leave only after assessing Qian Qi is safe.
Hmm... It definitely wasn’t because it wanted to become an S-Class Evolved Magical Beast.
So, sometimes it’s not good for Magical Beasts to awaken intelligence. Having not bathed in the dangers of human society, encountering someone who paints such appealing pictures can easily fool them; if it were those with low intelligence who couldn’t speak and have no magical beast heritage, they’d probably already run away with eyes wide open, who would listen to your rhetoric then!
Of course, the reason the Emperor Python King was so easy to fool was mainly due to its loyal son spreading the falsehood that Qian Qi was a Legendary Beast Master, and Legendary Beast Masters indeed have the ability to evolve Magical Beasts; otherwise, why believe Qian Qi’s ’cake’?
Ironically, Qian Qi’s arrogant decision to have its son release the Contract Pattern prevented it from judging her Beast Master level by the state of the Contract Pattern. What ordinary Beast Master has such audacity? They would have happily released their Contract Pattern long ago!
All these mental gymnastics led the Emperor Python King to fall for it.
"Since you’ve pleaded to this extent..." The Emperor Python King coyly cleared its throat, "We could go with you, but about contracting me..."
"Forget it, I won’t contract you." Feeling the "former buff" time about to end, Qian Qi lazily raised her hand, "My beauty sleep is due, not chatting with you. Little Poison, give me a pillow."
With that, she directly fell to the side, resting her head on the Little Poisonous Python’s head, and fell into a deep sleep.
Emperor Python King: ???
I was just being reserved, and you decided not to contract me? Although I never intended to be contracted, isn’t your refusal a bit too swift?
Qian Qi couldn’t help it; the original owner’s second spiritual power had a time limit, she was too weak, utterly unable to sustain that spiritual power for long, naturally fainting when the time ended.
And as she fainted, the Emperor Python Group regained consciousness, and the Blood Blade at the throats of Gong Qiang and the others disappeared. The group of Emperor Pythons, a few Contracted Beasts, several Awakeners, and a crowd of stream viewers looked at each other.
For a moment, silent and alone, the moon hung like a hook, confused and perplexed, endless bewilderment.
Finally, it was Moyu who broke the silence, skillfully regurgitating a large bag of Hemostatic Medicine from its stomach, sprinkling it on the Little Poisonous Python’s body, then pointed in the air to introduce, "This is your elder brother who can turn invisible, I’m your second brother Moyu, there’s also a non-contracted third dog brother, it’s your fourth brother Qian Ba, and your fifth brother Bai Ji, fluent in a hundred beast languages, the Water Master, without it no magical beast can be charmed!"
Moyu pointed to Qian Ba and, to prevent the weak Qian Ba from being bullied by a younger brother, specifically added, "The future Moon Silver Demon King, understand what that means? It means being able to lead and command all levels of Moon Silver Demon Wolves, it has a mother above it, seven older brothers, and a bunch of subordinates pampering it!"
"Wow!" The Little Poisonous Python immediately looked at Qian Ba with admiration, "Invisibility Demon King, Word Spirit Demon King, Moon Silver Demon King, and Water Master. Can I become a Poisonous Python King in the future too?"
"Absolutely!" Moyu bluffed, "Our Contractor is all-knowing, all-powerful, just wait to enjoy prosperous days!"
Listening to the words of the Word Spirit System senior, the Little Poisonous Python immediately brimmed with hope for the future. It was finally time for days of gaining power without eating the Emperor Lotus!
Your imagined Qian Qi’s battle: System’s brick assault, Moyu’s Word Spirit against evil beasts, Qian Ba is the Moon Silver Demon King, Bai Ji’s information source, Venom is invincible.
Actual Qian Qi’s battle:
System: Can’t win, only performs for money!
Moyu: Can’t win, calls wife! Calls younger brothers!
Qian Ba: Can’t win, calls mom! Calls brother!
Bai Ji: Can’t win, calls the whole family! Calls lovers!
Venom: Can’t win, calls dad! Calls uncle! (This statement is free of charge)
