Chapter 1745: Agree to Surrender
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Leng Shaoting would go to Kunlun Mountain in a few days, and he might enter the Universe Tower, so the flood dragon was quite excited about it.
Although Leng Shaoting couldn’t understand the flood dragon’s language, the flood dragon could understand him. Therefore, they could get along well with each other.
Also, even though Leng Shaoting couldn’t understand it, Shangguan Yang and Jing Yunyao could.
Gu Ning decided to tell Shangguan Yang and Jing Yunyao about it this time, because they would find out sooner or later.
As for her own safety, she would be fine as long as she didn’t encounter cultivators at a very high level after sending the flood dragon to protect Leng Shaoting. Even if she met strong monsters or ghosts, she could easily put them into her telepathic eye space once she touched them, so there was nothing to worry about.
Besides, she planned to train the monster fox to work for her now. The monster fox would also be her helper. Although it was still very weak and was not even a match for her, there were some things it could do while she couldn’t. Otherwise, there was no need for her to persuade the monster fox to work for her. If it was useless, she would directly kill it.
Although the monster fox wasn’t very willing to follow her, it might change over time, because it took time for them to build trust.
Anyway, Gu Ning wouldn’t force it to stay by her side. If the monster fox wanted to leave her after becoming immortal, she wouldn’t stop it. However, the condition was that the monster fox didn’t betray her or hurt her. If it dared to do that, she wouldn’t hesitate to kill it.
Moreover, she was working hard to become a cultivator, and she was determined to be strong and powerful so that she could protect herself properly on her own.
The second Gu Ning reached out her hand, a few power crystals appeared in it. Because she had no intention to avoid the monster fox, it witnessed it with its own eyes.
The monster fox was completely amazed. It believed that it must be magic for the power crystals to suddenly appear in Gu Ning’s hand. However, Gu Ning was just a mortal. How could she have magic?
The next second, it smelt the pure magical power from the crystals in Gu Ning’s hand. Its eyes lit up at once and rushed towards Gu Ning without delay, trying to grab them away from her.
Although it didn’t know what they were, they were the best stuff for it because they contained magical power, especially pure magical power. If it was able to get a large amount of pure magical power, its cultivation would be greatly improved in a short time.
Although it had lived in Kunlun Mountain for years and the magical power there was of good quality, it wasn’t very helpful for its cultivation, so it made slow progress.
There was the purest magical power in the Universe Tower, but unfortunately it couldn’t move close to it. Once it was within 10 meters away from it, it felt great pressure and couldn’t breathe normally. As a result, it could only keep a distance away from it.
However, the moment the monster fox rushed to Gu Ning, Gu Ning put the magical power back into her telepathic eye space, then avoided the monster fox by slightly turning her body.
The monster fox was mad, but didn’t dare to vent its anger on Gu Ning. It had witnessed Gu Ning’s abilities, and realized that Gu Ning also had what it wanted most, so it had to control its temper in front of her.
“What is that?” the monster fox asked Gu Ning.
“It’s a kind of solidified magical power crystal. It’s very pure. A single crystal might be of no use, but multiple crystals are of great help to cultivators. They are even more effective than the pills made by alchemists, “Gu Ning said, and the monster fox was deeply attracted to it.
“Can you give me some?” asked the monster fox.
“Why should I? You don’t have any relationship with me. What can I get after giving them to you?” said Gu Ning.
Hearing that, the monster fox understood what Gu Ning wanted from it. Although it was still a little reluctant to do that, it still said after hesitating for a second, “Fine, I agree to surrender to you.”
As long as it surrendered to Gu Ning, it would be able to get the power crystals and become immortal one day.
“Great, but let’s be candid here. If you dare to betray me, I won’t hesitate to kill you, so you must be loyal to me. When you become immortal, it’ll be the best if you’re still willing to stay by my side. If not, I won’t force you to stay,” said Gu Ning.
It seemed to not benefit Gu Ning at all, and the monster fox was at the advantage all the time, but Gu Ning actually didn’t think that way. Because the monster fox was her slave before it became immortal.
Gu Ning wouldn’t deliberately torture the monster fox, but she needed its help in many situations. In fact, she needed the monster fox to do something for her a while later.
She wasn’t afraid that the monster fox would leave her after becoming immortal. She wouldn’t force the monster fox to stay by her side after it became immortal, but it was quite difficult.
Cultivation was time-consuming and boring, and the monster fox wasn’t a talented cultivator like Leng Shaoting, so it would take years for it to achieve its goal even if it had Gu Ning’s help. Besides, even if the monster fox could reach the highest level of its cultivation, it still might not be able to become immortal.
In order to become immortal, it must survive the heavenly tribulation, which was the most difficult part. Once it failed, it would be ruined. Therefore, even if the monster fox reached the highest level of its cultivation, it probably wouldn’t have the courage to accept the challenge of heavenly tribulation.
“Really?” The monster fox was excited. It would be the best if Gu Ning wouldn’t stop it from leaving after it became immortal.
“Of course,” Gu Nings said.
“Great, I promise that I’ll be loyal to you,” said the monster fox without hesitation this time.
“Are you serious about it?” asked Gu Ning again.
“Yes, I am,” said the monster fox. It wouldn’t do it, because it wasn’t necessary. It wouldn’t do it any good if it betrayed Gu Ning after all.
Given the monster fox’s current attitude, Gu Ning believed that it was serious, but she didn’t know what would happen in the future. It was a cunning fox after all. Therefore, Gu Ning stayed alert for the time being.
She stayed on the alert not just for the monster fox, but for everyone. She never trusted anyone at the very beginning. It also took the flood dragon a long time to win her trust.
“Very good. I have something else to tell you, but it’s hard to make it clear within a short time. I’m busy now, so let’s call it a day. Oh, I might need your help later, but I need to put you back into my space first. I’ll let you out if I really need your help in a while,” said Gu Ning.
