Aiding My Queen With My System - Chapter 31

Chapter 31 How About We Make a Deal?

Perhaps only those who had reached the seventh-stage Martial Sage realm could be able to gain some benefits from it.

As Chu Feng was grappling with his thoughts on how to deal with this Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon, he suddenly heard an unfamiliar and hoarse voice.

“Two bed bugs actually dare to have their eyes on treasures. Hmph, how overconfident.”

The flood dragon which had its limbs tied up was actually speaking in human language. Its disdainful gaze swept across the two of them, as if it was not a cunning demonic beast in front of them but a Martial Sage with 1,000 years of cultivation.

This flood dragon seemed to be highly intelligent.

Before either of them could speak, the Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon suddenly said, “Killing you won’t do me any good. Why don’t we make a deal?”

“There’s no harm talking about it. Tell me about the deal you want to make with me.”

Chu Feng was a little astounded. Although he had heard of the phrase ‘asking a tiger for its skin’ before, the Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon in front of him was having a huge impact on him.

He really wanted to know what this flood dragon really wanted.

Seeing that the two of them were not frightened away by it but actually came even closer, its dark green eyes widened a bit.

“Hehe, you have some nerve.”

“I know what you both want. If you’re willing to unlock me, you can have both of those treasures. How about that?”

The flood dragon looked at the two of them calmly, as if it was not worried that they would refuse.

Unfortunately…

After Chu Feng heard what it said, he immediately burst out laughing as if he had heard a huge joke.

“Hahaha!”

“Why are you laughing, brat?” The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon roared angrily and its huge tail immediately kicked up another huge wave. Unfortunately, it was a little far from the two of them. Before its blade-like tail could touch the two of them, the flood dragon was immediately pulled back by the metal lock on its body.

Chu Feng looked at this scene and said slowly, “Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? But looking at how relaxed you look, you might really have deceived many people previously.”

The flood dragon flew into a rage out of embarrassment and said, “Brat, what do you mean!”

“I’m sure you know what I mean.”

Chu Feng pouted his lips and said again, “The metal lock on your body was left behind by this Martial Emperor who passed away, right? Since he wants you to stay here to accompany him, he naturally won’t let you break free from this chain easily. Our cultivation is even weaker than yours.”

“If even you yourself can’t unlock it, how are we able to do it for you? In that case, you can only have one goal. When we go over to help you with the lock, you will swallow us like we are your supplements.”

“Flood dragon, we’re not that stupid.”

The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon looked as if it had its secret exposed and instantly fell silent. Its cold green eyes stared at Chu Feng without a definite emotion.

“In that case, why don’t we make another deal? This time you don’t have to come over and help me with the lock. That should reassure you.”

It flicked its tail impatiently.

Chu Feng was stunned. What was this flood dragon up to again? What would be the next deal?

Chu Feng smiled and said, “There’s no harm in telling us first and then I’ll make a decision.”

The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon’s vertical slit pupils stared intently at the Water Repelling Pearl in his hand.

“Use the beast essence in your hand to exchange for it. As long as you give it to me, you can choose any one of these two treasures. What do you think?”

It sounded almost appealing.

Perhaps this was the true intention of the flood dragon. This Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon was clearly more cunning than he had imagined.

Chu Feng could not help but laugh. “Of course not. Once we give you this beast essence, what if you go back on your word? We can’t defeat a ninth-stage Martial Sage demonic beast like you and it’ll be even more difficult to take those two things behind your back.”

“If I weigh the benefits, wouldn’t I be giving you a beast essence for free? This is a treasure left behind by a giant python when it transformed into a dragon back then. Although it was struck to death by lightning 1,000 years ago, this beast essence is a symbol of its success in transforming into a dragon.”

“After you absorb this beast essence, your strength will definitely increase greatly. By then, even the metal lock left behind by the senior Martial Emperor might not be able to keep you captive. In that case, the deal that you want to make with me is really such an insincere one.” The flood dragon’s beastly pupils constricted as it said agitatedly, “Then what do you want?”

Chu Feng sneered in his heart, but he pretended to be innocent and gullible.

“Why don’t you give me one of the two treasures as a deposit? Then after I give you this beast essence, you can give me the other treasure.”

The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon roared, “Impossible!”

“Although this old thing died long ago, he was a first-stage Martial Emperor when he was still alive! These two burial objects are countless times better than the beast essence in your hands! Just one of them is enough to exchange for the beast essence you have.”

Chu Feng was actually a very tough negotiator at heart.

Seeing that the Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon disagreed, his expression immediately turned cold.

“Since you’re unwilling, then we also can’t force you. Let’s part ways here. Perhaps in tens of thousands of years, I’ll still have a chance to see you on land. Hmph, but that will have to wait until you advance to Martial Emperor.”

“Sigh, I’m really envious of you hiding at the bottom of the sea. Even if lightning strikes down, it probably won’t have much of an impact on you, right? The senior Martial Emperor has really put in a lot of effort to think for you. You must cultivate diligently.”

Chu Feng said enigmatically.

Ji Rui also curled up the corners of her lips.

For someone who wanted to cultivate and advance, the most important thing was to find a sacred place filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, she did not sense any spiritual energy at all at the bottom of the sea.

If the Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon really wanted to cultivate here, it would be a fool’s dream.

Even by the time its lifespan ended, it would not see any improvement in its cultivation at all, let alone break free from the chains on its body.

“We’ll leave first then.”

Chu Feng was in a good mood as he pulled Ji Rui and prepared to leave.

The Celestial Water Repelling Flood Dragon was already agitated by Chu Feng’s words. Seeing that they were really going to leave, it immediately panicked.

It had already been in this lonely and bitter cold sea for countless days and nights. Even in its dreams, it imagined itself leaving here and being free again.

During this period, it was not as if there were no martial cultivators who had found the clues, but they were either not too smart or way too greedy. They were all tricked into entering the cave and being eaten by it.

Unfortunately, eating them did not increase its cultivation by much. It was still far from being able to advance further.

The beast essence in Chu Feng’s hand was different. It was the crystal essence after the giant python successfully transformed into a dragon. This also meant that the python had already reached the Martial Emperor realm and contained boundless spiritual energy in its body.

Once it obtained the beast essence, it would definitely be able to heal the injuries on its limbs and break free from the four chains that bound it!
