Chapter 615: As a Contract Beast
“Do you think I’m a troublemaker?”
As Su Jingzhen was pondering this thought, Bai Suzhen’s voice suddenly echoed in his ear.
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat.
He wondered if Bai Suzhen was a mind reader.
But he immediately replied, “Anyway, if there’s a trouble, you’ll be the one to help me solve it in the end.
With my own strength, I can’t handle troubles of your level.
So if the trouble comes from you, it doesn’t matter to me.”
Su Jingzhen’s words were quite sincere.
He didn’t deny Bai Suzhen’s question.
“Your sincerity is becoming more and more endearing,” Bai Suzhen replied with a light laugh.She obviously appreciated Su Jingzhen’s honesty.
Before Su Jingzhen could reply, Bai Suzhen continued, “Now that we’ve obtained the Heavenly Dragon Clan’s Dragon Control Art, perhaps I don’t need to stay with you in the form of a belt.
I’ve decided to act as your contract beast and appear at your side in my true form as a white python.
After all, Qing Mo has already seen my true form.
The Dragon Control Art will be the perfect excuse, and no one will doubt my identity.”
Her words surprised Su Jingzhen.
He felt a bit nervous and asked, “Is… is this appropriate?”
He knew that if Bai Suzhen wanted to appear in her true form, she would have to do so as his contract beast, but he wasn’t sure if she would be willing.
Bai Suzhen replied again, “I’ve been your belt for so long, so there’s no harm in me being your contract beast for a while.
This is the only way I might be able to move freely within the Heavenly Dragon Race territory.”
Su Jingzhen started to understand.
It seemed that when Qing Mo arrived, Bai Suzhen decided not to hide for this very reason.
After arriving at the Heavenly Dragon Race’s territory, Bai Suzhen must have had her own plans.
She wasn’t really consulting with Su Jingzhen, she was just informing him.
Su Jingzhen’s expression became slightly serious. “No matter what, the Heavenly Dragon Clan’s territory is full of powerful cultivators, and there are probably many cultivators beyond the late stage of the Unity Realm. Ŕ
In addition, those old men mentioned that the three elders each have their own contract beasts in the Heavenly Dragon Race’s territory.
Whatever you plan to do, be careful.”
His tone was quite serious.
He knew that Bai Suzhen’s strength was extremely formidable, possibly the highest level he had ever seen.
However, the Heavenly Dragon Race, which was known as the unrivaled power in the Luo River region, possessed an unknown depth of cultivation resources and heritage.
Therefore, it would be normal if there were forces that could threaten Bai Suzhen.
“Don’t worry, my understanding of the Heavenly Dragon Race might be even deeper than yours.
Do you remember what I told you earlier? My previous death and the seal incident were also related to the Heavenly Dragon Race.
My connection with them is quite deep.”
Bai Suzhen’s tone was somewhat complicated.
Su Jingzhen’s curiosity reached its peak.
“Suzhen, what exactly is your identity? Can you reveal something to me? Given our current relationship, I should be able to know something about you, right?”
Unable to hold back, he asked Bai Suzhen directly.
Bai Suzhen replied, “As for my affairs, you’ll know when you have the strength and the time.
It’s not necessarily good for you to know too much now.
Now, tell me your thoughts about the Heavenly Dragon Race’s Heavenly Dragon Conference that will be held in the Heavenly Dragon Race’s territory tomorrow.
You will definitely be challenged, and as a core disciple within the sequence, you cannot refuse to be challenged by your peers or those in a similar realm.
So you can’t avoid it.
Considering what you have done today among the ordinary disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Race and your current relationship with Qiu Yaoyao, countless people will want to target you.”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s brow furrowed again.
He had heard the term Heavenly Dragon Conference many times, but he still had no idea what it was about.
Qiu Yaoyao had never explained it to him.
Before he could ask, Bai Suzhen continued, “You don’t need to know much else.
The only thing you need to understand is that you will definitely face several battles tomorrow.
Do you want me to lend you power secretly like before, or do you want me to come out directly as your Contract Beast to help you fight?”
Upon hearing this, Su Jingzhen suddenly felt a surge of excitement.
If Bai Suzhen fought for him as his contract beast, among the younger generation of the Heavenly Dragon Race, whether it was ordinary disciples or those with sequence core disciples, none of their contract beasts could compete with Bai Suzhen.
Since Bai Suzhen had mentioned this, tomorrow, Su Jingzhen would only have one word: invincibility!
“Let’s play it by ear,” Su Jingzhen replied after a moment’s thought. “I want to see how far I can go relying solely on my own strength before an opponent releases a contract beast to threaten me.”
Since he had already been forced to become Qiu Yaoyao’s shield when he arrived in the Luo River region, and since Qiu Yaoyao clearly wanted him to make a splash within the Heavenly Dragon Race, he had to comply with her wishes in order to gain a higher level of empathy and more points from her.
With the label of “Qiu Yaoyao’s chosen one” now firmly attached to him, he had no choice but to stay in the limelight.
Therefore, all he had to do at the Heavenly Dragon Conference was to sweep through all the challenges.
Having made his decision, Su Jingzhen didn’t leave the dense forest or return to his courtyard by Heavenly Green Lake.
Instead, he spent the entire night practicing the Creation Heaven scripture and familiarizing himself with the Dragon Control art within his First Sequence Seal.
The night passed without incident.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The next morning, as the light of dawn filtered through the forest, a line of golden characters appeared in front of Su Jingzhen’s eyes.
The fixed points had arrived as promised.
【Daily Fixed Points: Shuang Jiang: 15, Zhang Xiu: 4, Feng Qingya: 18, Luo Yuebai: 18, Dantai Xuening: 12, Qiu Yaoyao: 14】
【Remaining Available Points: 3380】
Su Jingzhen felt another wave of excitement.
When his empathy with Qiu Yaoyao reached the second level of slight affection, the daily fixed points had already provided him with eighty-one points.
As time passed and his relationship with Qiu Yaoyao and Xuening deepened, the points he could accumulate without doing anything would exceed one hundred.
At that time, he would truly be invincible without doing anything.
【Body Cultivation: Opened Nine Secret Repositories
Body Level: True Body Embryo (First Stage)
Next Secret Repository to be Opened: Yintang Acupoint (0/1400)】
Su Jingzhen took another look at his attribute panel.
He was almost two thousand points away from opening the Yintang Acupoint.
“I won’t rush to open it. I’ll see the strength of my future opponents before I make a decision,” he muttered to himself.
With that, Su Jingzhen left the forest with Bai Suzhen.
This time, Bai Suzhen had taken on a different form, no longer as Su Jingzhen’s belt, but as a small white snake wrapped around his arm.
From the Dragon Control Art within the Heavenly Dragon Seal, Su Jingzhen knew that many Heavenly Dragon Sect members who had contracted beasts had their own spirit beast pouches.
These were special storage places for living creatures that were unique to the Heavenly Dragon Race.
Usually, the Heavenly Dragon Race members’ contract beasts were kept in these spirit beast pouches.
When it was time to fight, they would release the beasts as if they were taking items out of a bag.
However, Su Jingzhen did not have his own spirit beast pouch yet.
He had already planned to ask Qiu Yaoyao for one when he saw her later.
After all, he would eventually need to have his own contract beasts.
Soon, Su Jingzhen returned to the shore of Heavenly Green Lake.
However, what he saw in front of him suddenly ignited his anger.
Dozens of people were gathered outside of Xuening’s courtyard, peering in.
“Damn it!
In just one night, so many people want to cause trouble for Xuening?”
The terrifying blood energy within the nine human secret repositories in his body unconsciously began to circulate.
However, he did not act immediately, but stealthily approached to see what these people were up to.
As he neared Xuening’s courtyard, he caught a whiff of an intensely fragrant medicinal scent.
