Is That the "Ah" Groundhog?

"You wouldn't..."

Qi Zixiao gestured with her fair, delicate hands, pointing at Dan the Fatty and then at Ink Blood Toad: "You've already developed feelings for each other, haven't you?"

Qi Zi·Fan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Pfft..."

I had feelings for them a long time ago!

Dan the Fatty and the Toad have feelings for each other?!

This is... this is so offensive!

Our Saintess has gone astray.

He muttered to himself for a while, but his gaze couldn't help but drift towards the spot where the Ink Blood Toad had been.

There stood a small figure, covered in fine hair, observing them as it rose upright...

"That is..."

Qi Zi·Fan was stunned. "Am I seeing things? Groundhog?!"

"Ah?"

Qi Zixiao was also taken aback upon hearing this, and followed Qi Zi·Fan's gaze. "Ah! That Groundhog?"

"Yes, it's that Groundhog, at least it looks the same..."

The conversation between the two left Dan Chengzi, Ink Blood Toad, Rascal Snake She all looking puzzled.

After all, this is something only they understand.

But it is precisely because they understand that they feel bewildered and confused.

Groundhog!!!

It's the kind of Groundhog that's very common in animated images and videos on the other side of the world, standing there motionless and letting out a loud "Ah!"

They look exactly the same!

Its body and size are more like Groundhog from Earth, rather than the enormous Demon Beast that are common in the Cultivation World.

For the two of them, the Groundhog was far too familiar!

"Your Highness, are you talking about my elder brother?"

The Ink Blood Toad gradually realized what was happening and explained, "It's a Mutated Ground Rat, an older brother I met years ago, and he's now at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm..."

"This time, it's here to save me."

"Your Highness..."

At this point, Ink Blood Toad almost burst into tears. "If it weren't for my elder brother's help, I'm afraid I would have been eaten by the Azure Scaled Eagle."

"You must do me justice!"

"Get out!"

Qi Zixiao's eyes widened immediately. "Stay away from us!"

The Ink Blood Toad's cries ceased, its face filled with resentment...

The guide, Dan the Fatty, said with a pained expression, "You've been wronged. Here, take two pills. Today, I will definitely beg His Highness to avenge you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out two Biochemical Pill.

Upon seeing Ink Blood Toad's eyes widened, and then its body instantly shrank, jumping into Dan Chengzi's palm and swallowing the pill in one gulp.

This scene left both Qi Zi·Fan and Qi Zixiao speechless.

"..."

So why do they need us to help them out?

Judging from this, the Ink Blood Toad probably already considers the Dan the Fatty, who can refine Biochemical Pill, as one of its own, so why would it need to suppress him with force?

Upon seeing this, Dan Chengzi was overjoyed...

"Come work for me!"

The guy grinned. "From now on, there will be plenty of pills!"

"I'll beat up anyone who dares to bully you!"

"Give me a break!"

The Ink Blood Toad croaked, "With your meager skills, you can't even beat me. How can you help me when I'm being bullied?"

"Cultivation level is never the only factor that determines victory or defeat!"

Dan Chengzi glared at him. "I have many methods, how could you possibly know them all?"

"Besides, even if I can't win, can't I ask Your Highness for help?"

"Just tell me, are you coming with me or not?!"

"If you don't comply, I'll have His Highness beat you until you do!"

The Ink Blood Toad trembled instantly. "You?!"

Then it looked at Qi Zi·Fan: "You?!"

"If you take someone's money, you have to do their bidding." Qi Zi·Fan said quietly, "Since you've accepted the benefits, you naturally have to keep your word."

"Are you willing to become the fat man's Spirit Beast yourself, or do you want me to beat you up before you become his Spirit Beast?"

Don't say I didn't give you a choice.

The man shook his head and said, "This Saintess has always valued humanity. Although you are not human, you can still make choices."

Choose.

Ink Blood Toad: "..."

Qi Zixiao: "..."

Dan Chengzi: "..."

What a great option!

The Ink Blood Toad almost vomited blood.

Either become Spirit Beast, or get beaten up and then become Spirit Beast.

This is such a great choice!

The Ink Blood Toad was almost in tears, but it wasn't stupid!

"To be this fat man's Spirit Beast?"

The Ink Blood Toad's eyes darted around.

"They're all Purple Mansion Disciple, and this fat guy's status should be quite high. If we follow him, we won't have to worry about being killed at will, and we'll have delicious pills to eat every day. It's not a bad deal..."

"But if one can follow the Purple Mansion Saintess, then one can truly rise to prominence and reach the pinnacle of Toad Life!"

"Not only will I gain a noble status from now on, but I will also be able to rely on others' power. Who would dare to bully me again?"

"Pills?"

"This fat man is clearly from the Saintess's lineage. If I become the Saintess's Spirit Beast and go to this fat man to ask for pills, would he dare refuse me?!"

The Ink Blood Toad was lost in thought, and in a flash, this was the place that came to mind.

If that's the case, why should I become this fat man's Spirit Beast?!

Wouldn't it be better to directly become the Spirit Beast of the Saintess?

It immediately said, "Your Highness, may I make a third option?"

"Sure!"

Qi Zi·Fan spoke calmly.

The Ink Blood Toad was overjoyed.

However, the next second, great joy turned into great sorrow!

"The third option is that if you refuse to submit, I will kill you, dismember you, and take all the useful parts of you back to my mansion to exchange for some benefits."

Ink Blood Toad: "..."

"Your Highness, I wish to become your Spirit Beast..."

The Ink Blood Toad is extremely humble.

It's not that it lacks backbone, but rather that it has experienced just too much lately!

Putting everything else aside, the fact that he had previously humiliated over a hundred Taiyi Disciple half to death had left Ink Blood Toad feeling uncertain and constantly worried.

What if those guys hold a grudge and kill me later?

Besides, so many people were indirectly harmed by their own Innate Divine Power afterward!

If I continue to "live on my own," I might get retaliated against and wiped out someday.

So, finding someone to rely on is perfectly fine!

Furthermore, Dan Chengzi's Biochemical Pill, which might be a 'deadly poison' to other creatures, is the most delicious thing to the Ink Blood Toad, bar none.

Secondly...

Who isn't afraid of death?!

Qi Zi·Fan is strong on his own, and he even has Sky Gazing Mirror hanging from his waist!

What if we don't just admit defeat? Are we really going to wait to be crushed?

The Ink Blood Toad hasn't lived long enough yet.

But at the same time, it also wants to secure the greatest benefit for itself! Become Spirit Beast? And Spirit Beast of Core Disciple the Purple Mansion Holy Land, it's not impossible.

But is there any Spirit Beast fragrance that can help one become Saintess?

Of course not!

However, Ink Blood Toad never expected that the moment he uttered those words, he would instantly feel a terrifying killing intent assail him...

Qi Zi·Fan looked disgusted.

Qi Zixiao wore her anger on her face.

If my Saintess had Spirit Beast like you in her party, Saintess would find it hard to accept... and you want to be my Spirit Beast?!

This is outrageous!

Qi Zixiao glared at Qi Zi·Fan and directly transmitted her Divine Sense: "If you dare to agree, I will fight you to the death!"

"... Zixiao, you're overthinking it!"

Qi Zi·Fan's lips twitched repeatedly.

"There is no such option!"

He spoke coldly.

In his opinion, it would be great if Dan the Fatty took in the Ink Blood Toad. Ugly? Stinky? So what?

It's not our Spirit Beast anyway, right?!

And who knows, it might even have some unexpected effects later on, wouldn't that be great?

But you want to become my Spirit Beast?!

Pooh!

It's so ugly!

Let alone our Saintess, even if I were here, I would definitely not want you!

"That..."

"If all else fails, I'd be willing to become His Highness's incarnation Spirit Beast."

The Ink Blood Toad wanted to try again...

However!

Buzz!

A deadly threat of terror suddenly loomed.

Shocked, it looked over and saw the 'incarnation of His Highness' holding a terrifying divine bow that shimmered with starlight, about to lock onto it...

As Demon Beast in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, the Ink Blood Toad's senses are naturally very keen.

It was certain that if this arrow struck it, there would be only one fate awaiting it...

Die!

"I promise, Your Highness, I promise to become this fat man's Spirit Beast, I promise..."

The Ink Blood Toad speaks extremely fast.

We have to hurry!

What if I'm a little too slow and get shot dead by an arrow?

That was truly a wrongful death!

As soon as it said this, it felt the terrifying killing intent recede, and it couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, inwardly praising its own cleverness.

However...

Dan the Fatty's expression, however, was not so pleasant at this moment. "You look down on me?"

"Without!"

The Ink Blood Toad shook its head repeatedly. "Fatty, you're pretty good, and the pills taste good too, but... Your Highness is undoubtedly more delicious!"

"As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. I am not a bird, but I also want a good home..."

"!!!!"

These words gave Qi Zi·Fan and Qi Zixiao goosebumps.

A good ending?

It just sounds... inappropriate, okay?!

Meanwhile.

Qi Zixiao's gaze kept wandering over the Groundhog in the distance, making the Groundhog very wary and not daring to approach.

Qi Zi·Fan noticed her gaze and couldn't help but transmit his voice, "You've taken a fancy to her?"

"It's quite cute."

Qi Zixiao responded, and asked, "Do you think this Groundhog can say 'ah'?"

"Probably?"

This question really stumped Qi Zi·Fan.

Although they look exactly alike, who knows if the Groundhog in the Cultivation World will say "ah"?

but...

The guy had a sudden inspiration and laughed.

"I think it's quite suitable for you. Why don't you take it in as a Spirit Beast?"

"Moreover, you can try it and see if it will make an 'ah' sound."

"..."

Qi Zixiao hesitated for a moment. "Why do you think it's suitable for me?"

"Look."

Qi Zi·Fan chuckled and transmitted his voice, "From the very first time we met, you were always going crazy, calling me Dog Thief and even threatening to fight me..."

"This frustration, isn't it just like 'Ahhhhhh'?"

"If it can, and if you ever lose your temper again, it will start 'ah'..."

"That's really amazing!"

Qi Zixiao immediately rolled her eyes and said in a frustrated voice, "You're the one who's always going crazy, you go crazy every single day!"

"You're the one!"

She added another sentence.
