No matter how much the dog complains, a late-game god-tier character like Huiyang would definitely not refuse to eat it.

Yu Shang watched in shock as the Black Fur Ball's aura suddenly expanded, as if it had broken through some great obstacle, and then its soul power surged and spread boundlessly.

This pressure...

Qian Yuan?

Having consumed countless grains, the dog was just one straw away from breaking through to the Qian Yuan realm.

Yu Shang couldn't believe that this sycophantic black ball was actually a Taotie, but it was a genuine Qian Yuan level beast. A man-eating monster of the Qian Yuan Level was squatting in front of her with fierce eyes, seemingly drooling.

Then the man punched him again and stuffed the ring into his hand. "The conversion rate is really low, you're only at the Qian Yuan stage now!"

The dog whimpered throughout the entire process, not daring to resist.

Yu Shang: "..."

Qian Yuan seems to be no different from before; he's still a pet...

"Alright, little girl, let's talk now." Qin Yi snapped his fingers and conjured a stool to sit in front of Yu Shang. Liusu then sat on his shoulder, the two of them staring at Yu Shang with the same expression.

Yu Shang pursed her lips, unsure of what she was about to suffer.

The person in front of me may not be kind; they let beasts devour people without batting an eye, and judging from their tone, they seem to have eaten quite a lot...

If they're not eating me right now, I don't know what they're planning to do...

She closed her eyes. Even if he wanted to do that, it seemed like he deserved it.

After waiting for a long time, the man finally let out a sigh as if he had a toothache, "Bang bang, I've realized I don't know how to communicate with idiots."

The Little Ghost said, "Isn't that what you're really good at? Ye Ling and Qing Cha, they're all happily circling around you, aren't they?"

"... Why do I feel that you'd be better at it if it were them?"

"They're just not as Yao Qi as your women, they're more adorable." Liusu put her hands on her hips. "If I had to talk to this idiot, I'd smash her head with a bone, it'd make me angry just looking at her."

"..." Qin Yi thought for a while, speechless, and decided to start by checking his background. "This bird... Winged Human Race girl, what's your name?"

Yu Shang hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Yu Shang."

"When the two characters 'Yu Shang' are together, shouldn't they be pronounced 'long'? Why are you pronouncing it 'shang'?"

Yu Shang found this man really strange. What time was it, what was the situation, and why was he fussing over such trivial matters? She opened her eyes helplessly. "Yu is my surname, and Chang is my given name. It doesn't mean 'feathered robes and rainbow skirts'."

"Oh, thank goodness it's Chang. If it were Yu Ni or Yu Hong, I'm afraid I'd be out of character."

Yu Shang: "... That's my cousin."

Qin Yi asked in surprise, "There really is?"

Yu Shang's rigid mind couldn't keep up with this guy's jumping rhythm at all, so she sighed and asked, "May I ask your esteemed name?"

"Qin Yi, Farrell."

Yu Shang automatically ignored the last three incomprehensible words, treating them as interjections. She said directly, "Mr. Qin, what exactly do you want? Stop beating around the bush and get to the point."

Qin Yi stroked his chin. "You're making it sound like you're begging me to push you away."

"..." Yu Shang turned her head away angrily, refusing to look at him.

"I think treating someone as mentally disabled is illegal, so let's forget about it."

"..." Yu Shang remained silent for a long time, then slowly knelt down, placed her hands on her forehead, and kowtowed. "I was misled by Yu Shang and should not have acted. I apologize to you, sir."

Kneeling down to admit one's mistakes shows sincerity, which is only possible for the Winged Human Race. Even if someone else admitted their mistake, they might not be able to make such a gesture.

Seeing this, Qin Yi couldn't utter a single cold remark, even though he was seething with anger. He turned to look at Liusu, but Liusu remained expressionless, seemingly unaffected.

He shook his head. "Forget it, you can't blame yourself for being scammed. Let's just leave it at that."

Yu Shang still touched her head to the ground and said, word by word, "But Yu Shang still wants to know where your Dragon Might comes from, sir."

Qin Yi chuckled and said, "What, if I don't explain myself clearly, are you still going to fight me to the death?"

Yu Shang remained silent, seemingly acquiescing.

Liusu finally said, "Now you know what it means to be stubborn. You think kneeling down once will make things better?"

Qin Yi was truly at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

Liusu asked, "According to Heartless God, you have the Dragon Might to command you, so why do you turn around and kill people?"

Yu Shang slowly said, "If it is the true inheritance of the dragon, then of course it deserves our respect. If it is obtained by slaying a dragon, then it is our mortal enemy."

Qin Yi asked, "What if I said that my Dragon Might was indeed obtained through normal inheritance?"

Yu Shang said, "We have not received the Dragon God's decree. Although there has been no dragon bloodline inheritance in the past tens of thousands of years, all those who experienced this situation back then obtained the bloodline of the Dragon Clan by slaughtering them. How can you be an exception? I even hoped that your Dragon Might was fake, but unfortunately it is real."

Liusu was speechless. "So if Heartless God kills him and steals the dragon blood, he'll be a benefactor? And you'll all listen to him?"

Yu Shang tacitly agreed.

Qin Yi and Liusu exchanged glances again, both feeling a headache coming on. How to put it... their logic was understandable, but it was rigid and dogmatic. Without divine Divine Decree, nothing was valid, and they wanted to kill without verification.

This is a real headache.

Originally, all that was needed was to prove that his Dragon Might might was indeed a legitimate inheritance, but that's very difficult.

Not to mention that Saint Dragon Peak is separated from this ocean by almost two different planes, they simply cannot verify it. Considering only the importance of Saint Dragon Peak to the Rift Valley Demon City, and the strong hostility of the dragons and Heavenly Being, Qin Yi cannot casually tell others about its situation.

This Winged Human Race might have some connection with the Heavenly Being. Right now, the Heavenly Being don't seem to be paying attention to the disappearance of the "Grooming Official" (a stable boy) who harvests the Rift Valley. How could I easily reveal this and draw their attention to this?

Even ten thousand dead Yu Shang are not worth a single little finger of Cheng Cheng Ye Ling.

Besides, her kneeling and apology were directed at the previous idiotic attack, but she had actually held back then, so Qin Yi wasn't particularly angry about it. What truly enraged him was the murderous intent that erupted later because of the Dragon Might —that was truly deadly!

If he were even slightly weaker, he'd be a corpse by now, and that's no joke. If it weren't for needing the Winged Human Race's help and suppressing his anger, he would have killed her long ago.

Instead of apologizing, she continued to make trouble.

Qin Yi said, word by word, "I'll say it again: my Dragon Might was obtained through normal inheritance. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Yu Shang looked at him quietly, her eyes clearly filled with distrust.

Qin Yi's anger, which had subsided because of her kneeling, rekindled. He got up, squatted down in front of her, and lifted her chin with two fingers.

Yu Shang stubbornly raised her head, her eyes defiant.

Qin Yi sneered, "That kind of look is respectable when it's about doing the right thing, but it's very annoying when someone is so self-righteous and recklessly tries to kill. You know that? If your apology were for this matter, I'm not a petty person and could let it go. But now it seems you want to continue to hold a grudge against me?"

Yu Shang remained silent.

Qin Yi, with his sharp eyes, noticed a cold glint in her hand.

Damn it, they still wanted to ambush us!

Qin Yi's anger flared up, and he flicked his wrist, releasing the Joyful Buddhist Beads, which transformed into chains that bound her to a stone pillar behind him.

The prayer beads are a sacred Law Treasure of Great Joy Temple. Their self-evolving function in this regard has always been quite something. The way they automatically bind together is not random; it is very artistic.

The chains spontaneously transformed, binding her hands and feet in a spread-eagle position and pinning her to the stone pillar. They intertwined and restricted her wings from behind, giving her a poignant and tragic appearance, like an angel with broken wings trapped in a cage.

Qin Yi himself was dumbfounded. He knew that the Buddhist beads of Great Joy Temple had such an effect, but he had never played with them like this in ten years. Seeing them like this was truly incredibly impactful, making him deeply wonder if he was a major villain.

Liusu glanced at him sideways.

A bead of cold sweat dripped down Qin Yi's forehead. "No, Bangbang, listen to me... it's not like that..."
