Lu Ming did not answer it. Instead, he stretched out his other hand to grab the back of its neck and lifted up the unknown object. He ignored its miserable appearance of waving its limbs and claws in the air and kept struggling. He looked at it for a long time, frowned and thought for a long time, then asked tentatively: "Is this a fat worm or a fat snake?"
The animal swung its tail and slapped Lu Ming's arm in an attempt to break free, while shouting angrily: "I am not a fat bug or a fat snake... I look like the most noble animal in the world - the Azure Dragon, one of the four ancient mythical beasts!"
Lu Ming: "Are you sure Qinglong is as fat as you... or is he a Q version?"
The animal that insisted that it was a blue dragon said in dissatisfaction: "This is scientifically based! The scientist who created me examined a lot of information and historical documents before determining my final appearance."
Lu Ming asked curiously, "Since they are the four ancient divine beasts, there must be other companions besides you, right?"
The little blue dragon's tail suddenly froze as it swept back and forth. It said with an uncomfortable expression, "Maybe, I don't know."
Lu Ming's eyes flashed, and he raised the corner of his mouth and said: "You are not suitable for lying."
Hearing this, Xiao Qinglong was so nervous that he kept breathing out white air from his nose. He stuttered and changed the subject: "Master, let's talk about the task you need to complete next."
Lu Ming frowned and asked: "What is the mission?"
Xiao Qinglong cleared his throat, his expression became serious, and he said in a serious tone: "As your pet, I must introduce the current situation to you. In your previous life, you died because of a conspiracy, and your soul happened to enter He Qingci's body and continue to live in his place. If you can work hard to complete the tasks assigned by the system, you will have a chance to return to your original world."
Lu Ming's heart was moved, and because of excitement, even his voice became trembling: "Can I really go back again?"
Xiao Qinglong nodded and said, "I have properly preserved your original body in space. Once you have completed the mission in this world, I will be able to bring your soul into your own body and open the space-time rift, allowing you to return to your own world and continue to live as Lu Ming."
Xiao Qinglong paused, and then continued: "However, in this world of immortal cultivation with strict hierarchy, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and there are many difficulties. You must be prepared to encounter various dangers at any time, and you may even pay with your life. Are you willing to accept the challenge?"
Lu Ming was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "There is no other choice, right? If we can go back after completing the mission, we have to give it a try anyway."
Hearing this, Xiao Qinglong nodded carefully. He immediately stretched out his hand and scratched Lu Ming's arm with his claws. A drop of blood quickly dripped down and soon disappeared.
Lu Ming frowned and asked: "What is this for?"
Xiao Qinglong said seriously: "Collect blood, analyze and store DNA. From now on, I will be your only pet. Only you can order me to do anything, Master."
Lu Ming's mouth twitched as he said, "In that case, can you please stop using that old ghost's voice to act cute? It's too disgusting. Change it quickly."
The little blue dragon widened his eyes, wagged his tail, and said dissatisfiedly: "Master, don't you like this sound?"
Lu Ming said speechlessly: "No one will like it."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qinglong looked very unhappy, but he still obeyed his new master's words. He tilted his head and muttered to himself: "Turn on the sound frequency... The sound test starts now... Frequency one, frequency two... Master, what do you think of this?"
Lu Ming listened for a long time, and finally wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, unable to bear it any longer, he said: "Delete all the sounds from those horror movies! Replace them with something more normal!"
Xiao Qinglong looked at Lu Ming sadly, deleted those strange sounds dissatisfiedly, and finally replaced them with the voice of a little boy about three or four years old, which was soft and crisp, and matched Xiao Qinglong's chubby body very well.
Lu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his new pet with approval, and smiled slightly, "This is it, it suits you very well, both in terms of appearance and intelligence... it's very suitable."
The little green dragon flicked its tail, not realizing the hidden meaning of the deer's cry, and shouted excitedly, "Really?"
Lu Ming patted its little head in amusement, nodded and said: "Now that the sound problem has been solved, tell me about the mission next."
Xiao Qinglong nodded, and then said: "The task assigned by the master is the 'domineering value' task - to transform He Qingci from a villain into a domineering male protagonist. The upper limit of the experience value is 100%, and there is no time limit."
Lu Ming was slightly stunned, and said: "Shouldn't the domineering male protagonist be Sang Wusheng? Wouldn't this steal his role?"
Xiao Qinglong said: "Sang Wusheng is already domineering and has a strong aura. How could his presence be taken away so easily? Master, you must not have any worries. As long as you are willing, 233 will help you become the most domineering male protagonist in history, collect all the rare treasures in the world, and have three thousand beauties in your harem!"
Lu Ming glanced at him and said calmly: "Have you watched too many TV dramas?"
233 said excitedly: "Master, my brain has stored all the movies and TV series you have starred in, including the most controversial 100-episode TV series - "The Domineering CEO of the Stunning School Beauty"!"
Lu Ming held his forehead, feeling so ashamed that he could hardly raise his head. He had accepted the role of Kuang Aotian, the male lead, in order to earn money to support his family in such a cool and domineering TV series. This was simply the biggest failure in his life, and his dark history was really unbearable to look back on.
233, who had a very low EQ, didn't notice his master's abnormality at all. Instead, he tried hard to recreate the excitement he had when watching the TV series. Lu Ming had no choice but to keep his mouth shut and lower his head.
233 talked happily for a long time, but Lu Ming didn't say anything. No matter how slow he was, he realized that the person seemed to be not interested in this. He had to pout and end the topic regretfully, saying with some dissatisfaction: "Master, you are really not a good chat partner. Can we still have a pleasant conversation?"
Lu Ming patted its head and said helplessly: "If you want to chat, please choose a suitable occasion. Let me ask you first, what is the matter with the elixir that Xu Chouyan gave me just now? Why do you say that the medicine is poisonous? As the saying goes, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. No matter how cruel Xu Chouyan is, it is unlikely that she would personally give poison to her son, right?"
233 shook his head and explained, "It's wrong to spoil the plot. I can only help you as much as possible without affecting the future. But if there are plots about future developments, it's better for you to discover and solve them yourself."
Although Lu Ming was helpless, he did not ask any more questions. He recalled Xu Chouyan's somewhat unnatural expression at that time, and he suddenly realized something.
Nearly ten days had passed since he entered this world of cultivation. From the initial bullying by He Qingqiu to the threats by Liu Xuyun and the beatings by the servants, Lu Ming could not help but feel deeply disgusted with the He family. Could it be that after such a long period of subtle influence, most people have gradually been assimilated into this morbid feudal hierarchy?
Lu Ming sighed softly, and secretly made up his mind that he must get rid of Liu Xuyun's control as soon as possible, leave the He family completely, and then go find the Bi Tian Holy Spring mentioned in the text, use the technique of cultivating immortals to slowly repair the damaged spiritual roots, complete the domineering value task, and strive to return to the modern era as soon as possible.
◆◆◆
Since Lu Ming recovered his spiritual energy, no one dared to trouble him. Even Liu Xuyun and her son, who disliked him the most, had gone into hiding. They hadn't been seen for several days, and no one knew what they were plotting. The maids and servants who had bullied him dared not even raise their heads when they saw him. They bowed in fear and trepidation and ran away as if they were escaping, fearing that the young master would take their lives if he was unhappy.
Lu Ming had a peaceful life for several days, and he enjoyed the luxurious life that only a noble young master of a wealthy family could have. He ate delicacies and dragon livers every day, and wore silk and satin, brocade and jade robes. His utensils were exquisite and elegant, and extremely expensive. However, Lu Ming enjoyed it with peace of mind, after all, it was not his own money, so he did not have to feel bad.
233 saw his master lying on the couch with his eyes closed, looking relaxed, and scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, slapping Luming's arm with his tail desperately. He couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Master! This can't go on. Kun-Lai Summit will send a Taoist to recruit disciples tomorrow. You must enter Kun-Lai Summit to practice no matter what."
Lu Ming opened his eyes, his black eyes were as brilliant as shining stones, and he exuded a cold and indifferent aloofness that made him difficult to approach. He asked slowly, "Why do you have to go to Kun-Lai Summit? To give Sang Wusheng a head?"
233 said with a look of disappointment: "Kun-Lai Mountain is full of spiritual energy, which is the most suitable place for cultivators to practice immortal arts all year round, and there are also precious materials needed for refining. If you successfully enter Kun-Lai, it will be beneficial to your domineering value. As for Sang Wusheng, he has the talent of a natural spiritual root, and he will definitely become the direct disciple of the head master. Your spiritual root is destroyed now, and you will definitely not be accepted as a first-class disciple, so the probability of encountering one is less than one in ten thousand, so you don’t have to worry about it for the time being. In short, the master must seize this opportunity no matter what, and must definitely enter the Kun-Lai sect to practice."
Lu Ming said calmly: "If it was the previous He Qingci, it would be easy to accept him as a disciple of Kun-Lai. However, the spiritual roots of this body have been destroyed. Although the spiritual energy has been temporarily restored, it still lacks the ability to absorb all rivers and seas. I think it will be very uncertain when Kun-Lai selects disciples tomorrow."
233 took out a beautifully bound book from his space and said with a sad face: "I should have shown up earlier. I probably don't have time to read this book 'One Hundred Quick Ways to Cultivate Immortality'."
Lu Ming took the book that 233 was holding with his front paws, flipped through it casually, and said helplessly: "How many weird things have you hidden? Wait...what is this?!"
Lu Ming flipped through a few pages, and his cheeks suddenly turned a suspicious red. His whole body became stiff, and he gritted his teeth and closed the book with force, his face changing from gloomy to bright.
233 took it curiously, opened it and looked at it carefully, then curled his lips and said: "Isn't it the method of dual cultivation? In the world of cultivation, many cultivators will find a suitable person to make a blood contract and become a Taoist partner in order to speed up their cultivation. They will accompany each other for a long time and practice together. This is one of the fastest ways to become an immortal."
233 said, and suddenly as if he had thought of something, his eyes became bright, and he shouted excitedly: "Master, I have thought of a great idea for you. From today on, I will try my best to select a Taoist partner who is most suitable for you to practice with. I believe this matter will be settled soon. Please rest assured that I will do the job!"
Lu Ming held his forehead and lamented, "This body is only fourteen years old, can you not be so crazy?"
233 said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with being fourteen? As long as the sexual function is normal and there is no obstacle in making love, it's fine... Why are you looking at me? Isn't it true?"
Lu Ming: "...It seems I need to teach you a lesson. As a pet, I shouldn't control you too much."
As a result, under Lu Ming's forced order, 233 tearfully raised his pain perception to 120%.
