Chapter 982: Chapter 134: From This Day On, You Belong to Me
Follow her?
This time Yun Sheng was stunned.
She looked suspiciously at the Golden Qilin.
This Golden Qilin, with its golden scales and noble bearing, was clearly not an ordinary creature and looked quite proud.
As a Summoner, Yun Sheng couldnât even tell what level of Demon Beast it was.
But since it was Bo Boâs partner, it must be of the Divine Beast level.
"It wants to contract with me?" Yun Sheng couldnât believe it. Why would this Divine Beast level Golden Qilin want to follow a Summoner like her?
Could it be that it knew about the Linglong Beast Tower on her, or had it discovered that she was hiding something...
Yun Sheng thought it over and decided Bo Bo must have made a mistake.
Contract?
A slight embarrassment flashed across the eyes of the Golden Qilin.
This foolish woman, she actually mistook him for a Demon Beast and wanted to contract with him.
No, they had already made a pact a long time ago; itâs just that it was a marriage pact, not a Demon Beast contract.
Do they even need a contract!
"Bo Bo, my dear master, it says it doesnât want to contract with you. It says that the Linglong Beast Tower on you is beneficial for its cultivation, so it wants to follow you," Bo Bo sensed that slight restless aura emanating from the young Qilin.
"So it wants to take advantage of the Linglong Beast Towerâs benefits," Yun Sheng snorted, eyeing the Golden Qilin with a critical gaze.
This Golden Qilin would not be easy to manage.
Undoubtedly, it was very intelligent and extremely powerful. Yun Sheng knew that with her current strength, she couldnât control it.
However... having such a powerful Demon Beast, even if it wasnât her contracted beast, would offer many advantages.
After weighing the pros and cons, and ensuring that having the Golden Qilin by her side was definitely more beneficial than not, Yun Sheng decided to "embrace" this Qilin.
"You can follow me, but Iâm the master and youâre the servant. First, we must set three rules: donât be aggressive towards my friends, donât defy my words, and donât betray me. If you can comply with all of these, from now on, youâre mine," Yun Sheng raised three fingers and counted them one by one.
Three rules?
Is this woman rebelling or what!
The Golden Qilin was somewhat dissatisfied, but upon hearing the phrase "from now on, youâre mine," all its dissatisfaction vanished instantly.
Except for the first rule, which it absolutely wouldnât abide by, it reluctantly agreed to the other two.
The Golden Qilin, like a king, walked up to Yun Sheng with high spirits and elegantly placed its right forelimb on Yun Shengâs hand, implying the deal was sealed.
"Bo Bo, itâs great, master, Xuan Sitian, that old fellow, has also been swallowed by the gold coin, and his Emperor Jade is here," Bo Bo fluttered over, bringing that green short flute.
The short flute dissipated its magic and transformed into an Azure Dragon Emperor Jade.
The Totem Green Dragon and the Vermilion Bird, White Tiger also came forward to greet their new master respectively.
"Yun Sheng, it was really thanks to you this time, otherwise who knows what disaster Dihong City wouldâve faced," because of the Golden Qilin, even though Yuan Bupo really wanted to talk to Yun Sheng, he could only stand back at a respectful distance.
"No need for thanks. This matter started because of me, so it was my duty. Uncle Yuan, regarding the Black Tortoise Emperor Jade, I have a humble request," Yun Sheng hesitated for a moment.
She had promised the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird to obtain the fourth Emperor Jade, allowing the four Totem Divine Beasts to return to the Divine World.
Now, she possessed three Emperor Jades on hand, just one short of opening the Flame Divine Road.
The last Black Tortoise Emperor Jade was with the Yuan Family. If she was correct, it should be in the hands of Yuan Wuqu, the current head of the Yuan Family.
As soon as Yun Sheng spoke, Yuan Wuqu knew she wanted the Black Tortoise Emperor Jade.
"Miss Yun, the Black Tortoise Emperor Jade is vital for the Yuan Familyâs prosperity. Although Iâm grateful you helped eliminate the Xuan Family, Iâm afraid I cannot give you the Black Tortoise Emperor Jade," Yuan Wuqu shook his head.
The Emperor Jade is the treasure of Dihong City and a pass for the Yuan Family to enter the Emperorâs Tomb.
Now that the Xuan Family has fallen, the Yuan Family is bound to regain control of Dihong Cityâs great undertaking.
Yuan Wuqu found it difficult to ask Yun Sheng to return the three Emperor Jades. After all, once the Emperor Jade recognizes its master, it belongs to Yun Sheng.
But if they also handed over the last Emperor Jade in their possession, it would be tantamount to giving Yun Sheng control over all of Dihong Cityâs secrets, including the biggest secret within the Emperorâs Tomb.
Even though Yun Sheng resolved this disaster for Dihong City, as the holder of the Black Tortoise Emperor Jade, Yuan Wuqu wasnât willing to hand it over.
"Uncle Yuan, Iâm not trying to seize the Emperor Jade; I just want to borrow the Black Tortoise Emperor Jade for a while," Yun Sheng understood Yuan Wuquâs thoughts. She was ultimately an outsider, and Yuan Wuquâs reluctance was understandable.
"Father, please lend the Black Tortoise Emperor Jade to Yun Sheng. Besides me, no one else from the Yuan Family can enter the Emperorâs Tomb right now," Yuan Bupo was exasperated. Yun Sheng had helped Dihong City so much, aiding the Yuan Family in reclaiming Dihong City, how could his father be so ungrateful?
Yuan Wuqu saw his sonâs worried expression and felt helpless. How could his son be so dimwitted?
"Since itâs inconvenient for Uncle Yuan, then I wonât force it," Yun Sheng didnât want to impose. With her current strength, she probably didnât have the ability to embark on the Divine Road.
Earlier, upon witnessing the true face of Emperor Jiu Yan, she felt her power in Emperorâs Song and Marrow Jade Technique had greatly improved.
Now, she needed to meditate and perhaps elevate her cultivation further.
If Yuan Wuqu didnât want to yield the Emperor Jade, later on, she would find a way to make him willingly hand it over.
Just as Yun Sheng was about to give up, Yuan Wuqu spoke again: "Miss Yun, itâs not that Iâm unwilling, but the Yuan Family ancestors have a rule that the Black Tortoise Emperor Jade can only be passed down to Yuan Family members. If you truly want the Emperor Jade, there is another way, and that is to become part of the Yuan Family."
As soon as Yuan Wuqu said this, he cast a meaningful glance at Yun Sheng and Yuan Bupo.
As a father, who wouldnât care for their children?
Yuan Wuqu had long seen that even if Yun Sheng was married to someone else, his foolish son was still wholeheartedly devoted to her.
Yuan Wuqu hadnât understood before what made Yun Sheng so captivating for his son.
But after the events in Dihong City, Yuan Wuqu realized Yun Sheng was different from other women. She was strikingly beautiful, exceptionally talented, and above all, composed and decisive in crises. A rare woman indeed.
If Yun Sheng was willing, the Yuan Family would not hold her previous marriage against her and would welcome her as their daughter-in-law.
Yuan Wuquâs words were blunt, and everyone present immediately understood his intention.
Yuan Bupoâs face turned entirely red with embarrassment.
Yun Sheng was also taken aback.
Did Uncle Yuan mean for her to marry...
"Roarâ"
Beside her, the golden Qilin erupted in rage, roaring fiercely at Yuan Wuqu.
