"Uh..." Ao Yu looked at the aggrieved Lobster Demon, the corner of his mouth twitching. "So, you're willing to submit to me?"
"I am!"
The Lobster Demon nodded without the slightest hesitation.
Ao Yu lashed the Lobster Demon again and barked angrily, "You spineless little weakling! You couldn't even endure a mere beating before betraying that old turtle. If I take you in, won't you betray me when the time comes?!"
The Lobster Demon was completely dumbfounded.
What a calamity!
If I submit to you, I get beaten. If I refuse to submit, I still get beaten. Why is my life so miserable?!
Why did you even give birth to me?!
Of course, Ao Yu had no intention of actually beating the Lobster Demon to death. He slowly withdrew his whip, then sighed at the Lobster Demon. "Forget it. Since the name of your species also contains the character 'dragon,' I'll reluctantly believe you this once."
"Thank you, True Dragon Lord!"
The Lobster Demon's eyes brimmed with tears. I'm so damn grateful to you.
After placing a restriction inside the Lobster Demon's body, Ao Yu whispered to him, "Remember what I told you. Once you return to that old turtle Demon Venerable Tuohai's lair, say this..."
Three days later.
After taking the pill Ao Yu had bestowed upon him, the Lobster Demon's injuries had nearly healed. He flicked his tail, instantly shooting in the direction opposite the one he faced like a cannonball. He blasted out of the Dragon Palace's main gate and darted hundreds of meters away in an instant.
He traveled at top speed for three hours.
The Lobster Demon arrived in the deep sea and respectfully bowed toward an abyss so dark that he could not see his own hand before his face. "Ancestor, I have returned."
