Chapter 115 Media
"This..." Di Jun and Xi He exchanged a glance and knew what the other was thinking.
"Chang Hao," Xi He said shamelessly, "Xiao Shi was in danger and you saved him. It seems that you two are destined to be together. Why don't you become my disciple and establish a master-disciple relationship?"
Upon hearing Xihe's words, Dijun was also moved. If Xiaoshi were to become Changhao's disciple, they would no longer have to worry about him day and night. With Changhao's abilities, Xiaoshi's physical condition could be saved.
They had no shortage of miracle cures, but were helpless and had no other options.
"I wonder what Chang Hao thinks?" Although Di Jun asked, his eyes were eager. Xiao Shi was so cute, there was no way Chang Hao wouldn't like him.
Chang Hao was dumbfounded. What kind of operation was it to become one's own apprentice?
“No way,” Chang Hao refused outright, casually offering a reason: “Xiao Shi is good, but you are not.”
“I will correct any shortcomings I may have in the future. Look how good Xiao Shi is. You have already invested heavily in making up for his congenital deficiencies. Why not grant this marriage?” Di Jun was extremely humble, throwing away his pride for Xiao Shi’s sake.
"No, there's no room for negotiation." Chang Hao turned to the side, as if to say, "What a joke."
Taiyi received Dijun's pleading look and, for Xiaoshi's sake, tried to appeal to his feelings: "Changhao, please consider it. Xiaoshi is really a good boy."
“I like Xiao Shi quite a bit, but unfortunately he’s Di Jun’s son. I can’t explain it to him if I take him in,” Chang Hao said seriously. “You should know that Yuan Shi doesn’t like you very much. I have to consider his feelings, right? Tai Yi, you should also think about me. If I take the tenth prince of the demon race as my disciple, my peace and quiet will be gone forever.”
Taiyi knew he was oversimplifying things. And rightly so, Xiao Shi was a complex figure behind the scenes. Taking him as a disciple was a way of passively aligning himself with the demon race.
“Brother and sister-in-law, don’t make things difficult for Chang Hao. Besides, Chang Hao is right here. If anything happens to Xiao Shi, I believe Chang Hao will come to his rescue.” Taiyi, having thought it through, didn’t want Chang Hao to get involved and instead persuaded Di Jun and Xi He, “Chang Hao saved Xiao Shi, we can’t just leave without doing anything. The Dragon Clan is attached to Chang Hao, so why don’t we send the Dragon Clan members imprisoned in the dungeon back to him and help Chang Hao win over the Dragon Clan’s hearts?”
Di Jun looked as if he had seen a ghost. When did Tai Yi become so smart? He was usually impatient with these convoluted schemes. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Chang Hao, feeling both amused and exasperated.
"Alright, as you say. It's just a pity that Xiao Shi didn't have the opportunity to become Chang Hao's disciple." Di Jun said with great regret.
Chang Hao thought about what he had promised Xiao Shi and, not wanting to make things more difficult for himself, took out a flag, shrunk it, and planned to hang it around Xiao Shi's neck.
"This is my protective magic weapon from my early years, so I'll give it to Xiao Shi." With the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag as a medium, Xiao Shi wouldn't have to suffer the torment of soul burning even if he left him. At the same time, it would be easy for him to enter the body of the little golden crow.
"As for the impropriety of Xiao Shi, I have already removed it for him, so there is absolutely no need to worry."
Taiyi stopped Chang Hao from hanging the shrunken Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag around Xiao Shi's neck, saying, "Chang Hao, this is too precious, Xiao Shi can't accept it."
Chang Hao remained silent, only looking at Xiao Shi. He knew this was too valuable, but wasn't it necessary?
Little Shi shuddered, flapping his little wings, "I want it, I want it!" It's perfectly normal for a naughty child to cry and throw a tantrum.
“Xiao Shi, be good. Uncle will give you a little flag when we get back,” Taiyi advised. “You can’t take Uncle Changhao’s flag. If you give it to him, Uncle Changhao will lose it.”
"I don't want to hear it, I don't want it, I just want the one my brother has." Little Ten ran around the field, joking, could his uncle's flag give him a cheat code? Could it stop him from hurting? Could it summon a quasi-saint to protect him in times of danger? It could do nothing, so what use was it to him?
"If you keep causing trouble, I'll hit you." Di Jun's forehead veins were bulging. He didn't even care about being happy that Xiao Shi could speak; it was embarrassing.
"Go ahead and hit me, hit me, or I'll kill you." It would be a miracle if Xiao Shi was afraid.
Di Jun made a gesture as if to hit him, raising his hand high, but... he couldn't bring himself to hit him. Xiao Shi had always been quiet and well-behaved, a stark contrast to his nine lively older brothers. Now that he was finally seeing him so energetic, he was too happy to hit him.
The whole scene was chaotic; three adults couldn't handle the little golden crow because they were spoiled.
Chang Hao couldn't stand the noise anymore. Once again, the little golden crow darted past his feet. Chang Hao suddenly grabbed it and squeezed it tightly in his hand, "Quiet."
Xiao Shi was so ashamed he wanted to disappear. Why did he do that?
Chang Hao hung the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag around Xiao Shi's neck, saying, "Take good care of it. If you lose it, you will be held responsible."
"Tap me, even a three-headed figure will do," Xiao Shi silently prayed to himself.
"Go and work on Di Jun and Tai Yi," Chang Hao said. Di Jun and the others were all there, so there was no need for him to interfere. If he did too much, Di Jun and Xi He, that couple, would become suspicious.
Besides, it would be too shocking to see two similar faces, one big and one small, suddenly placed together; Di Jun wouldn't be able to handle it.
"I really like Xiao Shi. Although I can't take him as my disciple, I'm still willing to part with a Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag." Chang Hao smiled mysteriously, patted Xiao Shi's fluffy bird head, and passed it from his left hand to his right. How could he not be willing to part with it?
"This is too precious, how can Xiao Shi accept it?" Di Jun's sixth sense told him that Chang Hao had ulterior motives, but giving away the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, one of the Five Banners, didn't seem like he had any ill intentions at all. He could only tell himself that he was overthinking it.
Chang Hao rolled his eyes at Di Jun, "I'm giving it to Xiao Shi, not to you. What are you making excuses for? If I find out you took the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, I'll teach you a lesson."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Hao secretly regretted it. This person was likely his original father, so he should give him some face and remember that next time.
Di Jun held his breath, thinking, "I can't make a sound, I can't make a sound. This person just saved my son."
"Alright, take your son and go." Chang Hao glanced at Xiao Shiyi subconsciously, his words carrying a veiled warning.
"Brother, let's go." Taiyi glanced at the curtained area; if they didn't leave soon, Yuanshi would inevitably come out.
Di Jun smiled wryly. Yuan Shi didn't hide anything and openly reminded them that they should leave. The demon race was going through a turbulent time, and it was really not good to involve Chang Hao.
Holding Xiao Shi in his arms, Di Jun bid farewell to Chang Hao. After much deliberation, he finally backed down, saying, "Chang Hao, I promise that as long as the Four Seas do not offend the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan will not offend the Four Seas."
Chang Hao raised an eyebrow and chuckled silently. Di Jun had given up on Sihai. Even if he hadn't, so what? Once something was in his hands, he would never give it away.
"Enough with the nonsense," Yuanshi emerged from behind the curtain with a dark expression. "You even gave the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag to that little golden crow. You like it that much?"
Yuan Shi felt an indescribable fear. He worried that if Chang Hao liked the child, he would eventually choose to unite Yin and Yang, leaving him with nothing.
"It's just a temporary sale. When have you ever seen me make a loss?" Chang Hao explained vaguely, adding no more than that.
"Temporarily?" Yuanshi didn't know what Changhao was up to, but the fact that Changhao didn't really like the child made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's right, we'll get it back someday." Chang Hao chuckled. Once Xiao Shi returns, the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag will automatically return.
