Chapter 1134: Chapter 1134: Pet Big Black
Tang Yichen has decent talent, but it will likely take him some years to cultivate into a high-order cultivator.
After all, he did give her a fee for changing the way she addressed him, so Gu Zhiqi planned to find him a bodyguard with high combat power.
This Snake Dragon’s cultivation method and Tang Yichen’s mental method complement each other. By accepting this pet, Tang Yichen not only gains a highly useful bodyguard but also benefits his own cultivation to a certain extent.
Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi mention a bodyguard, Tang Yichen’s gaze subtly shifted, but after a few seconds, he seemed slightly embarrassed and said, "But... I can’t control it."
Gu Zhiqi said, "Just have it recognize you as its master, and it will proactively protect you."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen’s eyes lit up.
The Snake Dragon, however, stared at the two with eyes full of rejection.
If it had to recognize this young girl as its master, it could perhaps do so willingly, but this man...
A mere newcomer to the fourth-order, a waste, and he wants it to recognize him as master?
No way, absolutely no way!
"It seems unwilling, huh," Tang Yichen miraculously understood the Snake Dragon’s gaze, scratched his head, and said quietly, "Maybe we should just leave it be."
Gu Zhiqi said, "If it dares not to recognize you as its master, I’ll stew it."
Tang Yichen: "..."
Aw, touched.
Snake Dragon: You’re touched, I’m petrified.
Before Gu Zhiqi could say anything further, the Snake Dragon took the initiative to bite and puncture one of Tang Yichen’s fingers, dropping his blood on its own forehead.
As a result, Tang Yichen acquired a powerful bodyguard just like that.
Tang Yichen planned to give it a name, "With such strong combat power, let’s call you Little Strong."
Snake Dragon: "..."
Buzz off!
Silently, it turned its head and gazed eagerly at Gu Zhiqi.
Unable to become the pet of a great master, it hoped to receive a name bestowed by one.
"Gu Xiaoxi, it seems to want you to give it a name. Help me pick one for it," he said.
Gu Zhiqi listened, turned her head slightly, and glanced at the Snake Dragon, "Since it’s so black, let’s call it Big Black."
Snake Dragon: "..."
What exactly was it hoping for?
Tang Yichen instantly decided, "That name sounds quite nice. From now on, you’ll be called Big Black."
Big Black: "..."
Sigh~
Big Black silently closed its eyes and curled up into a ball, burying its head within its body.
"Gu Xiaoxi, how do I take it along with me?" Tang Yichen looked at Big Black, which was still roughly his size even after shrinking tenfold, and seemed a bit troubled.
Gu Zhiqi said, "Let it shrink even further to coil around your wrist."
"Huh? It can shrink even more?" Tang Yichen said as he reached out to poke Big Black, "Big Black, come, shrink and coil around my wrist."
Three minutes later, Tang Yichen, while studying the black bracelet on his wrist, followed Gu Zhiqi away.
Not long after they left, a group of men and women dressed in blue and white robes arrived at the lakeside.
Looking at the shattered leaves in the center of the lake, as well as the large pit and flattened flora beside the lake, the group had various expressions.
"Senior Sister, it seems we arrived late; the Flowing Jade Cold Lotus has already been picked."
The person addressed as Senior Sister did not speak immediately but looked around the lake and swept her gaze over the surroundings before finally saying, "They probably haven’t gone far. Let’s look around."
"Yes."
After responding, the group dispersed and searched the surrounding area.
The person addressed as Senior Sister led a group toward the forest.
Not long after entering the forest, they encountered a woman covered in blood, her clothes tattered, and missing an arm.
"Help, help me!" Having finally seen living people, the woman exerted all her strength to shout before collapsing straight to the ground.
