Chapter 120 - Transformation
"You don't have to do anything once you join us; you don't even need to join us. You just have to do something for me, and I'll tell you a secret regarding this Scarlet Wilderness," Wei Ya said.
"What is it?" asked Su Bai curiously.
"Enter the Alliance as per normal circumstances and then I'll tell you when the time is right," replied the woman.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't do what you ask?" He turned his head in confusion. Wei Ya had at least an emperor pet; what could she not do?
"No, you'll definitely help me at that time. All you have to do is join the league normally and become a core member of it.
"As long as you promise me that, I can give you something to hide the page of the contract with the Ancestor Blood Dragon."
Wei Ya was full of confidence.
"Okay, then. If it's not improper, then I'm willing to help you." Su Bai nodded.
Upon hearing this, she grinned and said, "Good boy. I'll give you this concealment skill; use it to hide the breath of your dragon contract page. With this, the page will look blank on the surface as if you don't have another contracted pet."
Su Bai took the white stone, which looked similar to a quail egg, and squeezed it to feel its soft texture.
He checked its information, and as Wei Ya said, there were tricks to it.
"Thanks." He accepted the stone.
"Okay, take the skull badge I gave you. It can save your life in the Scarlet Wilderness. As for the fact that you've detoxified the blood on it, I won't hold it against you. Instead, I'll count it on Gao An's head."
Wei Ya clapped her hands and continued. "Let your Ancestor Blood Dragon develop more subordinates whenever it can; it'll be beneficial for you."
"…Okay, I see."
Su Bai nodded, unable to comprehend what she was thinking.
"Okay. Brother Su, play slowly; I'll take my leave now."
The woman reached out to summon a purple card with a cyan giant bird pattern on it. As purple light shone, a streamer flew out of the card and turned into a flying giant bird.
Wei Ya then leaped slightly, stepped on the giant bird's back, and left.
Su Bai finally heaved a sigh of relief when she left. Although he knew that he would probably be fine, he was still made dazed by this turn of events.
In particular, her seduction had caused him to be dazed. He had no idea if he would already be lying in the wilderness as a corpse if he had fallen for her tricks. As expected, the more beautiful a woman was, the harder she was to deal with, especially that type of powerful and limitless beauty.
However, Wei Ya's card reminded him of her title as the Card Queen.
"Let's go."
Glancing at his pets, he urged them forward. If it had not been for his voice transmission earlier, the four would have been ready to attack.
Su Bai slowly walked back with his pets.
...
"Roar~"
The little dragon opened its mouth and rushed forward with First Dragon Blood to kill a Blood Shadow Pig, which was about to hurt its owner. A scarlet Blood Curse flew out and merged into its body.
A huge spiritual vortex then erupted from its body. As the vortex slowly disappeared, it broke through to a high-level warlord.
"Roar~"
Sorry, Ah Bai; I can't suppress it anymore.
The little dragon glanced apologetically at him. He had asked him to suppress itself, but it had still broken through.
Su Bai: "…"
This was already the second time the little dragon broke through, and he was really speechless. Fortunately, they were almost at the exit. It was better to leave this Scarlet Wilderness quickly.
As an Ancestor Blood Dragon, his pet was not afraid of the blood pets' Blood Curse. It could completely turn the Blood Curse into its power, so these blood pets were simply rushing over to feed it.
It was not bad for the little dragon to evolve so quickly, but it had not mastered its power yet, so it would be harmful if it continued like this.
"Roar~"
The little dragon once again used the First Dragon Blood to infect a few nearby thorn monsters. It infected several random monsters along the way, thereby creating blood descendants in this Scarlet Wilderness.
"Hey, you should go inside the contract book and digest your own strength. Feel the changes in yourself; I'll release you when the opportunity comes."
Su Bai caressed its head and instructed. The high-level warlord Ancestral Blood Dragon was now more than twenty meters long. It was thicker than a bucket and would be impossible to hide once out of the primeval forest.
"Roar~ (* ̄) ̄*)"
The little dragon nodded in understanding. Its owner had explained the outside situation to him, and it did not want to hurt him, either.
Once the little dragon agreed, Su Bai opened the contract book and took it in. The page with the blood dragon pattern turned into a blank one as if he had no other contracted pet.
"Howl!()〈))"
The cub lowered its head and let out a low cry, walking forward with its head down.
The Little Tyrant and the Mewling Fox also seemed to sigh. One walked at his feet, while the other had a listless appearance as it chewed on an ore.
Su Bai naturally sensed their moods and knew why.
All three of them had felt the strong pressure exuding from the little dragon. In just a few days, it had advanced again and again at a terrifying rate.
Also, along the way, he had spent a lot of time conversing with the little dragon and had not paid the other pets much attention.
Especially the cub, it probably felt that its position as the big sister had been handed over to the dragon. Its evolution speed was simply incomparable.
In fact, the peace between the pets was because of his presence, so everyone compromised with one another. If he died, they definitely would not be as harmonious as they were now.
"What's wrong with you guys? Why do you look so listless? Don't you have the confidence to surpass the little dragon? Your potential isn't any worse than it," he said encouragingly.
"Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)"
The cub refused to admit that it was afraid of the little dragon. Isn't she just a high-level warlord? Hmph! I'll surpass her soon!
"Roar! o( ́^`)o"
The little dino just wanted to know which ore tasted more delicious. Hehe!
"Hing…"
The little dragon was too strong; the baby fox could not compete. The Little Tyrant and Purple Jade were also too powerful, so it could not compete with them as well, but it could act cute in front of its owner and he would like it for sure.
Su Bai: "…"
Purple Jade: "…"
The Little Tyrant: "…"
We have a traitor among us? Baby fox, you should aim to become stronger, not be the cutest or most coquettish!
However, upon discovering that there was the baby fox below them, their moods immediately improved.
Su Bai looked at the Mewling Fox and seemed to think that it had deliberately said that. This was really a very clever lassie.
Walking through the wasteland, he suddenly realized that this place was much more crowded now. The sound of fighting could even be heard from time to time.
After walking for a while, he finally found a less vicious person and hurriedly called him, "Brother, wait!"
"What's the matter?" The man turned around and looked at him warily.
"Brother, can you tell me what's going on? Why are there so many people all of a sudden?"
Su Bai threw him a spirit crystal as he inquired.
The man glanced at the spirit crystal in his hand and nodded. "Did you see the image where the sky lost color a few days ago? It's said to be the result of the birth of a dragon pet, so everyone is looking for it now.
"Many of these people came in after receiving this news.
"It's said that this incident also shocked some dragon families. According to the image, there's a high probability that a blood dragon, which naturally restrains the dragon pets, hatched. I'm guessing that they're in a state of panic right now."
"Thank you."
Su Bai nodded, thinking of how he had already taken away the dragon cocoon, but some conscientious people had still managed to find out.
Still, it was not a problem; no matter what pet entered a contract book, this was equivalent to entering another world and it could not be detected.
Once he reached the spatial door, he temporarily put the pets into the contract book and then stepped out.
He slowly exited the Blood Moon Bar and turned on his phone. He had spent ten days in the Scarlet Wilderness, and at least more than ten days in the Chinese Redbud Wilderness previously. The end of the month had unknowingly come.
However, in this period of time, Su Bai had received a bountiful harvest. The various treasures he collected alone should be worth tens of millions.
The biggest gain was naturally the successful evolution of the Little Bloodworm into a dragon. Its strength had now increased to a high-level warlord and was his biggest trump card.
"Hey, dad, can you help me call the school and ask for a month's leave? I'm quite busy in the monster wilderness these days, so I can't go to school."
He called his father.
"Okay, I'll help you ask for leave, but aren't you coming back soon? The house in the manor was finished. Won't you come back to take a look?"
Father Su asked on the phone. He felt very relieved about his son's improvement and readily agreed to ask for leave after understanding the situation.
"It depends; I'm not sure," Su Bai said. He did not know if he had the time to go home.
"Alright, then. Come back and take a look when you have time," said Father Su. He then neatly hung up.
After solving the school's affairs, he replied to a message from Chen Rouxue and the others and then went to the Blue Moon Cultivation House.
When he arrived, he approached Hou Lan and asked when he was going to the trainer seminar.
"On the twenty-fifth, three days from now," replied the man.
"Oh, then I'll come back on the twenty-fifth." He nodded. "I have something on right now, so I won't be staying longer."
"Okay, your stuff is over there." The man nodded and led him to a storage room at the side. The insect crystals that Su Bai had left here were all stored inside.
"Thank you, then I'll take my leave now." He packed his things and waved his hand in goodbye.
Today was only the twenty-secondth, so he had three more days left. He decided to return home and take a look at the house in the manor.
Also, he wanted to see how the spiritual plants under the Bloodthirsty Spear Bush's nurturing were growing.
After leaving, he came to a shop called the White Beard Pawnshop next to the Trainer Association.
"May I ask if you're shopping or selling things?" The shopkeeper at the front desk was an eighty-year-old man with white long hair and beard, who looked like an expert.
"Master Zhou, your shop was recommended to me by my senior, Liu Xinghe. I'm Su Bai, and I'm here to sell some things," he replied.
"Oh, you're that tenth apprentice of Old Gao. You're not bad looking.
"Let me calculate the internal price for you. Take the things you want to sell to the backyard and ask my granddaughter to check it for you."
Old Zhou carefully sized him up and spoke slowly.
"…Okay." Nodding, he headed to the backyard in the direction the elderly man pointed at.
"Howl~ (๑oั╰╯oั๑)"
Ah Bai, can you buy me something delicious to eat after selling the ingredients?
The cub raised its head and looked affectionately at him, his big purple eyes turning soft and gentle.
"There's food at home; we have to save the money first." He rejected its request.
"Howl! ( ̄へ ̄)"
Fine, don't buy it then!
Purple Jade flicked its tail at him and walked to the side.
Su Bai: "…"
The speed of his pet's change in attitude was simply invincible.
"What are you going to sell? My grandpa already informed me; I'll calculate the internal price for you."
As soon as he stepped into the backyard, a tall girl in black came over to ask.
The black-clothed girl looked at Su Bai carefully, feeling quite curious. Why did Elder Gao accept this boy as an apprentice? He did not look special.
Besides being handsome, he did not seem to have any other qualities.
"They're all in the backpack."
Glancing at the girl, Su Bai removed the backpack from his shoulder and took out the things he wanted to sell one by one.
"These are all for sale." He pointed to the pile of jumbled treasures in front of him.
"So these insect crystals, Purple Snow Ganoderma Lucidum, and Golden Earth aren't up for sale?" The girl in black pointed to the treasure that he was putting back in his backpack. "If you sell them, I can quote a higher price."
"No, I'm using them." Su Bai shook his head.
"Okay, then." The black-clothed girl nodded and started tallying the amount.
"Everything is worth 5.2 million yuan. Give me your card number and I'll transfer the payment to you. My name is Zhou Ling'an. You can come find me anytime you have things to sell in the future. I'll give you an internal price.
"For good things, I can collect them at the door without asking for their source or type. As long as they are treasures, I will collect them. "
Zhou Ling'an handed him a business card and smiled.
"Okay, I see." Su Bai nodded. As expected, the place his senior recommended was different.
After giving the girl his card number, he received the money soon.
He waved goodbye and turned to leave.
When he reached home, he directly went to Baiyue Manor to see the newly built house.
From a distance, he saw a large protective shield covering the entire Baiyue Manor. From the outside, there was no way to see what was happening inside.
He gave his father a phone call and he soon came over to open the villa door.
"Didn't you say you weren't coming back? Why did you change your mind?" asked Father Su with a bright smile.
"Yeah, I originally thought that I didn't have time, but apparently I've still got three more days. Since the manor's construction ended, I decided to return and take a look," answered Su Bai.
"Hehe, then you're just right on time. Come in quickly; the manor is already completed. Take a look and see how it is."
His father smiled brightly.
