Chapter 36
Leng Qingqiu dodged to the side, quickly scanned the area, and immediately locked onto the thing that jumped out of the water mist lotus.
It was a thin creature only as long as a finger, with two small bumps on its head.
It looks like a loach with a pair of horns on its head, which looks very strange.
The creature sensed Leng Qingqiu's gaze and arched its body, raising its head high to meet Leng Qingqiu's gaze. It actually spoke in human language, "Who are you? Why do you exude the aura of Heaven?"
Leng Qingqiu narrowed his eyes and remained silent without answering its question.
The thing was not annoyed by Leng Qingqiu's action. It sniffed the tip of its nose with a greedy look on its face, and a long line of saliva flowed from the corner of its mouth.
"Yes, it truly is the aura of Heaven!" It spun around in circles with delight, then flicked its tail and said, "In that case, I won't hold you responsible for trespassing on my territory. Do you want this Millennium Water Mist Lotus? If you agree to one of my requests, I can give it to you."
Leng Qingqiu kept staring at the face of that thing. Although it was not big, he could guess that there must be other reasons why it was so attentive.
Could it be the...Way of Heaven that it mentioned?
The bait thrown by that thing was very tempting, but it underestimated Leng Qingqiu's will.
It waited for a long time, but Leng Qingqiu on the opposite side did not say a word.
The thing kept spinning in circles, seeming very anxious.
"Human, I have already made such a good offer, why don't you agree?"
When Leng Qingqiu heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Shui Wulian, I can take it or not, but I don't want to hear your request."
He made demands as soon as he opened his mouth and talked about the way of heaven.
Then this requirement is definitely not that simple.
The thing's tone became noticeably more urgent. Leng Qingqiu's rejection made it unable to control its emotions. It anxiously rushed to Leng Qingqiu and said with a humble attitude, "My request is not excessive. I only ask that you sign a contract with me and let me become your partner!"
"Oh. I don't lack partners." Leng Qingqiu replied decisively.
He doesn't believe in either humans or spirit beasts.
The thing was spinning around in a panic, and suddenly it seemed to think of something. It suddenly took a few steps back, and then a burst of blue light burst out from its small body.
The blue light became more dazzling as the volume inside grew. After a while, the blue light disappeared, revealing the original appearance of the thing inside.
It was about ten feet long, with five claws on each of its four legs. Its body was covered with dark green scales. Looking up, the horse-faced creature had horns on its head, and two wisps of whiskers fluttering in the wind next to its big mouth.
It spoke again, a deep voice emanating.
"I am a Jiaolong. If I wish to transform into a true dragon, I will have to pay a great price and make great efforts. If you sign a contract with me, I will also receive this blessing from heaven, and my path to becoming a dragon will be much easier."
"If you don't like this thousand-year-old water mist lotus, I also have other magical herbs."
It kept throwing out bait, trying to seduce Leng Qingqiu.
Leng Qingqiu looked at the rare spiritual herbs and medicines taken out from the dragon's claws, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.
He finally understood the dragon's purpose. It turned out that it was coveting his good fortune that was favored by heaven.
Looking at this dragon, it’s obvious that it has never left this pool.
My heart is so much purer than someone else's.
Leng Qingqiu thought for a moment, then pointed at the water mist lotus in the pond and said, "But, I only need that water mist lotus. You can put the others away for now. I also have a condition. You must obey my orders once you leave this pond."
