245: Chapter 71: Divine Dragon Blood Oath (Part 1) 245: Chapter 71: Divine Dragon Blood Oath (Part 1) Yue Ming opened her eyes, and thanks to the elemental infusion she received from Ming Hui earlier, the damage from canceling the contract had been alleviated.
Gazing at the unfamiliar icy cave before her, she asked in confusion, “Where is this?”
Haiyang was the only female, and it was most appropriate for her to take care of Yue Ming.
She helped Yue Ming up and said, “This is Ming Xue’s home.
Yue Ming, do you feel better now?”
Yue Ming turned to look at Ming Xue, who was beside her with a concerned expression, and smiled faintly, saying, “I’m fine.
Ming Xue’s parents are willing to forgive me, and I’m already very happy.
Where’s Ye Yinzhu?”
“I’m here.” Ye Yinzhu had been nearby all along and hurried over upon hearing Yue Ming’s voice.
He crouched down beside her.
Yue Ming sat up straight, her joints somewhat stiff after a long period of unconsciousness.
She cast a reluctant glance at Ming Xue beside her and said, “My physical condition is not so good now; I need to recuperate.
I might not be able to help you anymore on this trip.
Can you send me back with the teleportation array?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and smiled, “Of course I can.
However, Ming Xue has a better suggestion.
Would you like to hear it?”
“Ming Xue?” Yue Ming looked at Ming Xue in surprise; now that the contract was dissolved, she could no longer municate with Ming Xue.
Ming Xue nodded eagerly, pointed to herself, then to her parents not far away, and finally to Yue Ming and the ground.
“Let me explain.” Ming Hui and Ming Yue, the couple, came over.
Initially, because of their daughter, they were reluctant to keep Yue Ming.
But after witnessing the strength of Zi Yi and his panions, the two Snow Spirits had bee pletely convinced.
No one wanted to make enemies of such a powerful group; alliance was the better choice.
Thus, although they would not give up their freedom to follow Zi, they would certainly not offend the Amethyst Behemoth and these humans with immeasurable potential.
Ming Hui spoke formally, “Miss Yue Ming, it is evident that you care deeply for our Xue’er.
She is loath to part with you and hopes you can stay and live with us for a while.
Both Ming Xue’s mother and I are dark and ice dual-element magical beasts.
If you are willing, we can assist in your cultivation, as some pensation for Xue’er’s return.
After today’s events, we have realized that the dangers within the Frosty Forest are always unpredictable, and only by strengthening Xue’er quickly can she have the ability to protect herself.
If you prove to us that your strength has improved in the time to e, we will let Xue’er sign a contract with you again.
With your help, she will grow rapidly.”
“Ah?” The sudden delight left Yue Ming somewhat dazed, and her usually cold cheeks flushed with a faint red hue from the surprise.
“Can I, can I really stay?”
After humans forcibly cancel a contract with magical beasts, although they cannot sign with other magical beasts, the original magical beast, once connected in spirit, can restore the contract under certain conditions.
Ming Hui and his wife Ming Yue looked at each other and nodded.
Ye Yinzhu watched in silence, inwardly admiring Ming Hui’s wisdom.
The tragic fate of the Snow Dragon Leopard had enabled the Snow Spirit to see further.
Even a rank Nine Beast was not absolutely safe in the Frosty Forest.
Yue Ming was willing to cancel the contract for Ming Xue’s happiness, clearly showing her genuine affection.
Handing Ming Xue over to Yue Ming was something they had no qualms about.
Through the contract with a human, Ming Xue’s abilities could rapidly improve.
And with Yue Ming having a group of friends like Ye Yinzhu and Zi, the chances of Ming Xue facing danger outside were practically nonexistent.
Besides, if a crisis were to occur in the Frosty Forest in the future, they could always go find Ming Xue and flee the place.
Therefore, helping Yue Ming was a decision with only benefits and no disadvantages for them.
This was entirely different from the previous incident when Ming Xue was taken.
If they missed their daughter, they could always travel to the Milan Empire at their convenience.
“Yue Ming, stay with us.
Congratulations.
Gaining the recognition of the Snow Spirit You Ming is no easy feat.
You have to work hard,” Ye Yinzhu said with a smile.
Yue Ming’s gaze shifted from Ming Hui to Ye Yinzhu beside her, her eyes filling with tears.
She was not good at expressing herself, but she knew clearly that if not for Ye Yinzhu and Zi today, the oute would have been entirely different.
“Yin Zhu, thank you.
I’ll stay,” she said.
Ye Yinzhu said, “This is what I promised you at the beginning.
Since I’ve promised, I must help you achieve it.
Elder Ming Hui, please take good care of Yue Ming from now on.” As he spoke, he bowed respectfully to Ming Hui.
Ming Hui’s figure flashed, moving aside as he hurriedly declined the ritual of being a contracted partner of the Amethyst Behemoth, modestly excusing himself and retreating to the side with his wife.
After a hard day, everyone except Ye Yinzhu and Zi, had entered a state of cultivation, even An Qi had fallen asleep worry-free on Zi’s thighs.
Ye Yinzhu leaned against the ice wall beside Zi, smiling and said, “We’ve gained more from this trip than I expected.
Zi, once everyone has recovered, let’s head to the Ice Ring.
Do you have any plans?”
Zi’s expression only softened when he was alone with Ye Yinzhu, “I don’t really have a plan.
I’m somewhat worried now.”
“Worried?” Ye Yinzhu looked at him in surprise, this type of emotion was something he had never seen in Zi before and it was even expressed by Zi himself.
“Why worry?
We now have Dis, Perkins, and three Ice Pole Demon Monkeys, a total of five Advanced rank Nine magical beasts.
Plus us.
Not to mention your strength, among the mages, aside from Yue Ming who stays behind, we have three Magic Scholars and one Sorcerer who can head to the Ice Ring, as well as Sura the assassin.
Aren’t these enough?”
Zi sighed, “If what’s inside the Ice Ring is an adult War Behemoth, our current strength is not sufficient.
Even with those two Snow Soul You Ming added, it still wouldn’t be enough.”
“Ah?” Ye Yinzhu was shocked as he looked at Zi.
The Gold Armor Forbidden Insect became his contract partner, and although it had caused them trouble at first, Ye Yinzhu’s estimate of a rank Ten Divine Beast was not very high, at most, only twice as powerful as an Advanced rank Nine superior magical beast.
But now, hearing Zi’s words, he realized his judgment was incorrect.
Zi said solemnly, “If the gap between a rank Ten Divine Beast and a rank Nine magical beast wasn’t large, why would we be called rank Ten?
At the level of rank Ten, no matter how many opponents there are, if they are not of the same rank, none can affect a rank Ten Divine Beast.
Back when the Beastman’s Four Sacred Beasts stood together, although our Amethyst Behemoth was ranked first, among the Four Sacred Beasts, the War Behemoth was something that even we could not pletely defeat.
Because my ancestors, although able to defeat the War Behemoth, could not kill it pletely.
The War Behemoth itself is almost an undying entity.
If not for the existence of us Amethyst, the unbeatable land bat of the Behemoth Beast would be a joke in front of it.”
After hearing Zi’s words, Ye Yinzhu involuntarily took a sharp breath.
The fact that even Zi’s ancestors could not kill the War Behemoth showed how terrifying its defenses were.
“But, you were all Ancient Divine Beasts, and the Amethyst Behemoth was the leader of the Four Sacred Beasts.
Isn’t there a possibility to persuade the War Behemoth?”
Zi glanced at Ye Yinzhu, “You’re too naive.
As a rank Ten Divine Beast, which one doesn’t have extreme dignity?
The past alliance was only due to the strength of our Amethyst Behemoth and the multitude of our people.
Times change, and I am far from my peak state.
What makes you think I can persuade a rank Ten Divine Beast?
Without absolute strength, how can one tame a rank Ten Divine Beast?”
Ye Yinzhu fell into a brief contemplation, pondering over Zi’s words, and he suddenly realized a problem, “Zi, if you’ve known that rank Ten Divine Beasts are not so easily appeased, why did you still…”
“Why still search for them?” Zi smiled indifferently, “I have waited for so many years, I don’t mind waiting a few more.
ing to the Northernmost Wilderness this time to find the other Three Sacred Beasts was more about confirming their existence rather than immediately subduing them.
Your making two Gold Armor Forbidden Insects contract partners has already brought me plenty of surprises.
If we can confirm the whereabouts of the War Behemoth as well, we can attempt to persuade it.
If it doesn’t work, then we can leave temporarily.
When I grow into the true Amethyst Behemoth, I will definitely return to the Ice Ring.
So, when we enter the Ice Ring tomorrow, if we encounter danger, we must retreat immediately, and not fight recklessly.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “I’m relieved you think this way.”
Zi smiled slightly, “Although Behemoths prioritize strength, I’m not just a brute who only knows force.
Yinzhu, do you know?
Actually, the greatest hope of getting the War Behemoth to work with us lies in you, not me.”
“Me?” Ye Yinzhu looked at Zi somewhat surprised.
Zi nodded, “Yes, you.
Are the miracles created by your zither music small?
Why can’t you create another miracle?
As Amethyst Behemoth, wasn’t I deeply attracted by your zither sound and made a contract with you?”
A gleam of light flickered in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, “I will do my best.” Almost subconsciously, his right hand touched over his heart, as if a special zither music was resonating within.
Ye Yinzhu and his group stayed in the territory that used to belong to the Snow Dragon Leopard for three days.
With the Snow Dragon Leopard gone, the strongest in the territory naturally were Snow Spirit You Ming and his wife.
Reluctantly accepting the role of the new lords in order to not disturb the balance within the Frosty Forest, they suppressed all dissenting voices within a short span of three days with the help of Ye Yinzhu and Zi.
Ye Yinzhu also set up a Spatial Formation within the former ice cavern of Snow Spirit You Ming and agreed to return in three months’ time to take Yue Ming back with him.
