Chapter 232: Talent is Too Poor That I’m Not Interested
“You lost!” Lou Mu Yan’s voice wasn’t too loud, but everyone present heard it.
The petrified grey energy on the Mountain Moving Beast faded away and he found that his Demon Soul in his yao’fu was already wound with a contract skill. His eyes were a little dazed.
He was actually imprinted with a contract seal during a battle where he used petrification. How was that possible?
“How did you do it?” He returned to the appearance of a burly man, stood up and patted the dust on his body, looking at the stunning woman in front of him with a complicated gaze.
Lou Mu Yan didn’t say it aloud and instead telepathically said: “After you become petrified, you’ll go berserk and your whole body will become as strong as Black Iron, but you have a fatal weakness. After being stabbed in the acupoint on your back, you’ll be unconscious for a while.
The Mountain Moving Beast was shocked, “You—You actually know this secret.”
The secret of the fatal weakness of the Mountain Moving Beast was something that even other Demonic Beast Races that the Mountain Pushing Beasts were on very friendly terms with didn’t know. He really didn’t expect this human woman to know such a secret.
“Don’t worry, I won’t spread it.” Lou Mu Yan said with a smile seeing the fear in his eyes.
The hovering heart of the Mountain Moving Beast relaxed a little. If this woman leaked their secret, the entire Mountain Moving Beast Race might face the disaster of extinction.
“You kept hitting me with your fists just now, but you didn’t get close to my back. How did you do it?” This was also something the Mountain Moving Beast didn’t understand.
Although he temporarily lost his reason when he was petrified, but he still remembered what happened prior to regaining his senses. Lou Mu Yan indeed didn’t come close to contact with his back.
“When I attacked you with the flying swords, I secretly released a few flying needles. When you destroyed the Eight Trigrams, I activated the golden needles pierced on your body. Plus, I smeared the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King’s vine thorn paralysis poison on the golden needles, so before you could even attack me, you collapsed.”
She actually originally made two sets of golden needles. One set was made from Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal, used to save people; and the other set was made from Heavenly Frost Golden Essence, used to kill people.
The Heavenly Frost Golden Essence could be considered a Divine Rank Spiritual Item together with the Soul Nourishing Wood and ten or so other Spiritual Items, so it was naturally extraordinary, and was incomparable, even compared to the Heavenly Frost Golden Crystal. Therefore, the refined golden needles could easily penetrate into back of a petrified Mountain Moving Beast.
Of course, separately refining it was also to avoid being exposed. If high-level cultivators knew that she had a set of poisonous needles refined from Heavenly Frost Golden Essence, they would definitely be tempted to kill and steal her treasure.
The Mountain Moving Beast was now already imprinted with a contract seal by her and couldn’t betray her at all, otherwise he would be purged by the restrictions of the Laws of Heaven and Earth. This was why she told him the truth through telepathy.
Lou Mu Yan saw everyone looking at them suspiciously, then said slowly: “If you agree to bet, you must accept to lose, will you accept the contract?”
The Mountain Moving Beast was very suffocated inwardly. You already imprinted a contract seal on lao’zi’s1 Demon Soul, and you still ask ‘will you accept the contract’?
“I’ll accept the contract.” His voice was muddled, and it was obvious that he wasn’t happy.
Lou Mu Yan didn’t care whether he was happy or not right. He tapped him on the head with her longsword, “From now on, you will obediently be my elder brother’s Spirit Pet, otherwise be careful that I won’t be polite to you.
“If you dare go against my elder brother’s wishes, I’ll let him massage your back a few times every day.” Then her threatening voice sounded in the Mountain Moving Beast’s Sea of Consciousness.
The Mountain Moving Beast was originally resistant, but that completely collapsed instantly. He must have eight lifetimes of rotten luck to have met this sort of woman2.
If he let her elder brother stab him in the back every day, then without even passing the day, he definitely would be completely paralysed. Just thinking of such a scene made him unable to resist shuddering.
“Who’s your elder brother?” Although he was a little afraid of Lou Mu Yan, but if the Owner she found for him was weak and stupid, then as a high-level Demonic Beast, he would rather die than contract him in order to maintain his dignity.
Lou Mu Yan could guess what he was thinking. She walked towards Lou Mu Bai, hugged his arm, then walked back in front of the Mountain Moving Beast, “He’s my elder brother.”
Lou Mu Bai didn’t expect that Little Sister could really subdue this Tier 7 Demonic Beast. While he was shocked inwardly, he was also helpless at the same time, with a doting look in his eyes, “Yan’er, his defence is very strong, you can contract him yourself. If we meet others, then Elder Brother will contract then.”
Little Sister had offended a lot of people recently, so if she contracted this Tier 7 Spirit Pet, then her strength would be greatly increased, and it would be much safer for her.
“Elder Brother, I don’t contract just any Demonic Beast. His talent is too poor that I’m not interested. You also make do for now, I’ll change it for you when we find a better one.” Lou Mu Yan glanced at the Mountain Moving Beast with unsatisfaction.
“…”
The Mountain Moving Beast’s nose almost didn’t become crooked from anger.
What did she mean that she wasn’t interested in his talent? It only took him a thousand years to advance to Tier 7—such talent was already considered a genius among the Mountain Moving Beasts alright?
The most irritating thing was that she even said that when she found a better Demonic Beast, she’d change him for that. Damned, was he really that bad?
Not only the Mountain Moving Beast, but the other people present also rolled their eyes when they heard Lou Mu Yan’s words.
Did she need to be this arrogant? She was even unsatisfied with a Tier 7 defence-type Demonic Beast that was considered semi-invincible. Even if a Sword Sovereign came, they would probably be tempted by this kind of Spirit Pet. Just how high were her standards!
Truly, comparing oneself to another could definitely infuriate oneself to death!
In fact, Lou Mu Yan wasn’t joking nor trying to comfort Lou Mu Bai when she said this. She had seen the talent of this Mountain Moving Beast when she contracted him. At most, he could only reach Tier 10, and that was under the condition that he had Heaven-defying luck and unlimited resources.
The Spirit Pets she had contracted so far were far more awesome one after the other.
Mo Yan had a pure King Class bloodline, an existence that was comparable to a True Dragon and Heavenly Phoenix, with a mysterious background; Bing Ji was the descendant of a Cyan Luan Divine Beast, and could also be regarded as a Divine Beast himself; Miao Miao had the pure bloodline of a Golden Dragon Divine Beast within her, and after she shed her Jiao and transformed into a Dragon, she would inevitably become a Golden Dragon Race, which was a higher-level existence than that of even a Cyan Luan Demonic Beast; and although the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King’s bloodline wasn’t as good as the other Spirit Pets, but he had superior, Heaven-defying talent, and was a Demonic Plant that was hard to meet even in tens of thousands of years, even rarer than a Divine Beast.
With the comparison of these four Demonic Beasts, her standards for contracting Spirit Pets were naturally much higher.
“His defence is very strong. He can protect you a bit if you take him in.” Lou Mu Bai continued to push. He thought that what Lou Mu Yan said just now was to comfort him.
“His defence is very powerful, but wasn’t he still subdued by me?” Lou Mu Yan directly grabbed Lou Mu Bai’s hand, pierced it with a needle, and a drop of blood essence fell on the forehead of the Mountain Moving Beast, “Elder Brother, if you don’t contract him, I’ll be angry.”
Lou Mu Bai sighed and looked at Little Sister in amusement, with warmth spreading in his heart, “Alright, I’ll contract.”
This was a representation of Little Sister’s feelings. Since she insisted, then he wouldn’t refuse again. With her talent and strength, she could indeed have better choices.
Lou Mu Bai’s blood essence entered the forehead of the Mountain Moving Beast. Lou Mu Yan stretched out her hand and formed a few contract Taoist Seals, merging the blood essence with the Contract Seal in the Mountain Moving Beast’s Demon Soul.
“Go contract.”
Lou Mu Bai closed his eyes, and a trace of Mental Energy merged with the Demon Soul in the yao’fu of the Mountain Pushing Beast to contract.
Instantly, a soft, jade-coloured light enveloped Lou Mu Bai and the Mountain Moving Beast, then gradually dissipated after a while.
“Owner.” The Mountain Moving Beast respectfully called out to Lou Mu Bai.
Although Lou Mu Yan’s elder brother wasn’t as abnormally monstrous as her, but after the contract, he found that this Owner’s talent was also very strong, with a lot of room for development, so his resistance to the contract was also much less.
Lou Mu Bai and the Mountain Moving Beast now had a mental connection, and a gentle smile appeared on his elegant and handsome face: “From now on, we’ll be companions.”
With Lou Mu Yan’s help, Lou Mu Bai really contracted this Tier 7 Transformation Stage Demonic Beast, which instantly dumbfounded everyone present, including the Elders of the Six Major Sects who were watching the battle within the central castle.
