“Little brat Yang, it seems that the old man really wants to follow you, what do you think?” Jiu Feng smiled at Yang Kai and winked, “Being able to obtain a Holy Spirit’s acknowledgement can be considered a blessing.”
If it was anyone else who encountered such a situation, they wouldn’t care about whether Qiong Qi’s reputation was good or bad, they would all happily agree to it, but Yang Kai just snorted disdainfully, “It’s not like I don’t have one.”
‘What do you have?’ Qiong Qi stared at him.
On the other hand, Jiu Feng suddenly thought of Liu Yan and thought to herself, ‘That’s right, this is a rare opportunity for others, but Yang Kai already has Liu Yan, and the Phoenix Clan’s ranking is higher than Winged Tiger's. Perhaps Liu Yan’s current strength is not as strong as Qiong Qi’s, but her future growth is definitely much greater than Qiong Qi’s. To him, Qiong Qi’s acknowledgement may not be very attractive. What’s more, everyone knows that Qiong Qi only wants to use this opportunity, so it’s impossible to determine whether his intentions are true or false.’
If he protected Qiong Qi now, in the future, Qiong Qi might become hostile and try to kill him.
Jiu Feng turned to Qian Qi and said, “You heard him, so you should obediently follow us back to Spirit Beast Island.”
Qiong Qi’s expression became solemn, “This old master does not wish to fight with you.”
Jiu Feng lightly replied, “You make it sound like this Queen really wants to.”
Although Li Wuyi didn’t say anything, his firm gaze indicated that once he attacked, he would not show any mercy.
Qiong Qi suddenly turned to look at Yang Kai, his Divine Sense surging.
Yang Kai, who was just turning his head to look at the scenery, suddenly turned his head towards Qiong Qi, his Divine Sense also fluctuating wildly.
The two of them were actually communicating with their Divine Senses in front of Li Wuyi and Jiu Feng. Li Wuyi and Jiu Feng looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Although they didn’t know what they were talking about, they could guess that Qiong Qi was definitely discussing the matter of recognizing Yang Kai as its master, and he was definitely offering some conditions that would move Yang Kai’s heart.
From the corner of their eyes, the two of them could clearly feel Yang Kai’s expression constantly changing, sometimes from surprise, sometimes shocked.
In the end, Yang Kai’s expression calmed down and he fell silent. Qiong Qi stared at him for a moment.
A moment later, Yang Kai let out a long sigh and looked at Qi Qian, “Old Qiong, you win.”
Qiong Qi grinned, “Many thanks, Young Lord.”
“There’s no need to thank me.” This time, Yang Kai didn’t object to his greeting, instead turning to Li Wuyi and saying, “Senior, if I step forward and guarantee that I can bring this old bastard with me, he won’t need to go to Spirit Beast Island. Senior and Beast Military Great Emperor can rest assured that I will strictly watch over him and not allow him to do anything outrageous.”
Li Wuyi frowned, “You really want to protect him?”
Yang Kai grinned, “He said something that interested me, so I couldn’t refuse.”
Li Wuyi couldn’t understand what Qiong Qi had just said to Yang Kai that had caused such a drastic change in his attitude. Just a moment ago, he had the look of rejection, but now he had taken the initiative to act as a guarantor.
Jiu Feng said solemnly, “Qiong Qi is not like Liu Yan, can you restrain him?” Liu Yan had always been by Yang Kai’s side since the beginning of their relationship. It could even be said that Yang Kai had single-handedly created Liu Yan, allowing her to grow and develop her intelligence. Liu Yan was absolutely loyal to Yang Kai, but Qiong Qi was different. He was famous for his ferocity and his strength. Jiu Feng was afraid that Yang Kai would not be able to deter Qiong Qi and end up suffering.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Since I said so, I naturally have a way to suppress him.” Turning his head to look at Qiong Qi, he continued, “I won’t hide it from you. The little girl you met back then has already awakened her bloodline and is now inheriting her distant ancestor's power. So, if you have any other thoughts, it’s best to dispel them first so you don’t accidentally get slaughtered.”
Qiong Qi was shocked, “Awakened?” Although Yang Kai didn’t say who it was, how could he not know who the little girl he was referring to? It was because he had sensed Heaven Punishment's aura back then that he had tried to curry favor with Zhang Ruoxi. He hadn’t expected her to awaken so quickly. According to his observations back then, it would take at least several hundred years for that little girl to awaken. Such a fast speed could only mean that something had happened.
Clasping his hands respectfully, he said, “Young Lord, don’t worry. Since you are that man’s successor, this old master will naturally follow closely behind you and serve you well.”
Yang Kai looked at Li Wuyi and Jiu Feng and smiled, “What do the two Seniors think?” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “Of course, if the two of you insist on bringing him back to Spirit Beast Island, that’s fine.”
Li Wuyi and Jiu Feng glanced at each other, both considering one question.
What was the situation with the little girl Yang Kai was talking about? Why did Qiong Qi seem a little terrified when he heard about this little girl? In this world, who else could make him feel such fear other than the Great Emperor? Moreover, he even mentioned the awakening of her bloodline…
Faintly, the two of them seemed to have thought of something. Li Wuyi’s eyes flashed, while Jiu Feng’s tender body trembled. She wanted to ask Yang Kai about the little girl’s situation, but she couldn’t help feeling afraid.
After a long time, Li Wuyi finally said, “Previously, you said you were half a member of Spirit Beast Island, now you’ve come out to guarantee that you’ll watch him, if that’s the case, he can be considered to be under Spirit Beast Island’s supervision, which doesn’t conflict with our purpose here. However, we still need to ask about this matter.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Of course. Since that’s the case, let’s go to Spirit Beast Island first.”
Originally, with Li Wuyi here, there was no need for him to go to Spirit Beast Island, but since he wanted to ask Beast Military Great Emperor about it, he could only make another trip.
Li Wuyi smiled slightly, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”
Saying so, he took out a jade slip and poured his Divine Sense into it before flicking his finger and shouting, “Go.”
The small jade slip shot out and disappeared into the void.
Yang Kai’s eyes bulged as he asked with interest, “Senior’s method is able to send news back to Spirit Beast Island?” Just now, Li Wuyi had obviously used his Space Force to send the jade slip containing the information back to Spirit Beast Island, but how far was this place from Spirit Beast Island? Even if he had a Space Ability, how could he send it back?
For a time, he couldn’t wait to ask Li Wuyi for some advice.
Li Wuyi smiled, “It’s just a subtle application of the Space Laws, I’ll explain it to you later. With your current attainments, it’s not difficult for you to learn it.”
Yang Kai grinned, “Many thanks, Senior.”
Li Wuyi raised his hand and said, “In this world, there may be many people who cultivate the Space Laws, but there aren’t many who are proficient in them to our level. If I can discuss them with you, it will be beneficial to me.”
“Senior is too modest, this little brat should learn from you,” Yang Kai said solemnly.
Jiu Feng curled her lips and said, “Is it interesting to boast?”
However, Qiong Qi said proudly, “Although the Space Laws are exquisite, they are still slightly inferior to the Time Laws.”
Yang Kai immediately glanced over, “Do you understand the Time Laws?”
Qiong Qi’s face twitched as he awkwardly replied, “I don’t understand.” He was only the mount of the POT Great Emperor. Although he had followed the POT Greaat Emperor for many years and had witnessed the majesty of the POT Great Emperor's Time Laws, he had no attainments in this Dao.
Yang Kai said, “The power of Laws depends on one’s own strength.”
Li Wuyi’s eyes lit up, “You’re right, even the most powerful of Laws depends on the individual.”
As he spoke, Li Wuyi’s expression suddenly changed and he stretched out his hand. A jade slip flew through the air and landed in his palm. Obviously, there was an answer from Spirit Beast Island.
Such speed!
In less than a dozen breaths of time, Yang Kai estimated that Li Wuyi’s jade slip must have been directly transmitted to Beast Military Great Emperor, which was why he was able to recover it so quickly.
Qiong Qi’s expression immediately became tense as he stared at Li Wuyi, secretly making up his mind that as long as he showed the slightest hint of discomfort, he would immediately flee.
He was unwilling to be placed under house arrest on Spirit Beast Island.
However, no matter how he looked at it, Li Wuyi’s expression was as indifferent as ever, not showing the slightest hint of abnormality, causing Qiong Qi’s heart to race. He didn’t know what kind of attitude Beast Military Great Emperor had towards him.
After a while, Li Wuyi finished his inspection and glanced at Qiong Qi before turning to Yang Kai and saying, “Sir said… this matter is up to you.”
Hearing this, Qiong Qi let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he also stared at Yang Kai nervously. Since Yang Kai had the final say in this matter, it would depend on whether his previous proposal had any effect.
It should be effective… Qiong Qi secretly prayed.
“It’s up to me,” Yang Kai stroked his chin and chuckled, “The Great Emperor really gives me face.”
Li Wuyi smiled and said, “Sir said that since you have some relationship with Old Qiong, it’s most appropriate for you to look after him. If he really goes back on his word, it won’t be too late for Spirit Beast Island to deal with him.”
“Good,” Yang Kai nodded, “Since the Great Emperor is so generous, this kid will not refuse.”
Turning to Qi Qiong, Yang Kai said, “Old Qiong, from now on, you will follow by my side. You have heard the Great Emperor’s words. In the future, you must do more good deeds and remove your notoriety as soon as possible. If you dare commit any evil deeds, not to mention the Great Emperor not letting you off, even this Young Lord will not forgive you.”
“Yes!” Qiong Qi replied respectfully before suddenly saying with a bitter expression, “Young Lord, the name Old Qiong… can you change it?”
“How? Old Qi?”
Qiong Qi said, “Although it’s not it, it’s not far from it. Back then, the Old Master called this old man Xiao Qi, so if Young Lord doesn’t mind, you can call this old master Xiao Qi… En? Why do you have such expressions?”
Whether it was Yang Kai, Li Wuyi, or Jiu Feng, all of them were staring at him strangely.
Yang Kai’s face twitched as he waved his hand disdainfully, “Old Qiong is a good name, there’s no need to change it.”
Why did he have to call him Xiao Qi…
Mo Huang’s daughter, the Little Princess of Spirit Beast Island, was also called Xiaoqi. She was an innocent little girl while Qiong Qi was a fierce old man. How could Yang Kai call her that? Li Wuyi and Jiu Feng obviously had similar thoughts.
