Gu Yuena picked up the contract and examined its contents, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
"Why should I lend you so many heavenly treasures?"
"My strength is too weak right now. With heavenly treasures to cultivate, I'll improve faster, and then I can accompany you to take revenge on the God Realm sooner!"
Qian Mochen explained with a straight face.
"Besides, when you and Di Tian fought the God Realm's God Kings back then, the injuries you sustained still haven't fully healed, have they? When the time comes to fight, I'll be one of the main forces. Naturally, the main force needs to be as strong as possible."
"As an ally, I won't take advantage of you. Here!"
Qian Mochen pointed at the final clause. "I'll provide you with the whereabouts of a Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with a million years of cultivation."
"With it, your injuries should recover quickly, right?"
A million years of cultivation. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Even Gu Yuena, with all her knowledge and experience, could not help but quicken her breathing at those words.
If not for the rule imposed by those gods upon Douluo Continent—that soul beasts could not become gods—the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm would have ascended long ago.
A Sky Dream Ice Silkworm with such cultivation could even erase the divine injuries on her body.
"Where is this Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?"
"I'll tell you after the contract is signed."
Qian Mochen introduced the system-produced contract. "This contract contains the power of rules. It ensures that both parties who sign it act according to its terms. If either party reneges, the contract's backlash will seriously injure them."
Gu Yuena sensed the seemingly ordinary contract in her hand. Yet her spiritual power could not penetrate it, and even the spiritual power she sent into it vanished like a stone sinking into the sea.
Such a contract was indeed more reliable than a verbal promise.
Gu Yuena continued examining the other terms. They merely involved asking several of the ferocious beasts under her command for a few trifles. Compared to that million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, they were nothing.
Gu Yuena directly picked up a pen and wrote down her name.
The next second, the contract in her hand turned into a ball of light, split in two, and entered both her and Qian Mochen's minds.
Gu Yuena briefly examined the ball of light in her mind. Its meaning was exactly as Qian Mochen had said. The contract was both a restriction and a safeguard for both parties.
If either side breached the agreement, the rules formed by the contract would directly punish them.
"When will you take me to catch that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?"
"No rush. Where are the herbs I asked for?"
"The contract clearly states that I receive the herbs first, and only then will I take you there. We need to be clear about the order."
Gu Yuena fell silent for a moment and reviewed the contract again, feeling faintly speechless. She had not expected this human to quibble over every word.
If Qian Mochen knew what Gu Yuena was thinking, he would definitely tell this inexperienced Silver Dragon King that she had only met someone as honest and fair as him.
If she had encountered one of those black-hearted transmigrators instead, they would have written eighty-one loopholes into the contract. By then, not only would they take some herbs, they could even devour Gu Yuena's body and soul completely.
"Bi Ji, take him to see your herb garden. Give him whatever he needs."
"Yes!" Though Bi Ji did not understand, her mistress's command was everything to her.
Qian Mochen gave Ah Yin a reassuring look and followed Bi Ji away.
"Mistress, your injuries have not yet healed. Why don't I go with that human in your place?" Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena anxiously.
"No need!"
After Qian Mochen disappeared from view, Gu Yuena's gaze settled on Ah Yin. "Are you the Blue Silver Emperor of this generation?"
"Yes, Mistress." Ah Yin looked at Gu Yuena somewhat nervously.
After several seconds of silence, Gu Yuena asked, "How much do you know about that human?"
"Mistress, I've only known him for a short while as well. I had only just taken human form when he caught me."
"Wuu wuu wuu~"
At the mention of Qian Mochen, Ah Yin became angry.
It seemed that her mistress had also been tricked by Qian Mochen. Perhaps if she heard about Ah Yin's miserable experience, she would avenge her.
For example, sealing Qian Mochen's power and letting Ah Yin beat him up?
Through Ah Yin's account, Gu Yuena gained some understanding of Qian Mochen.
This person seemed thick-skinned and black-hearted, with none of a true expert's bearing.
A Titled Douluo had actually pretended to be seriously injured to deceive Ah Yin, a kind-hearted Blue Silver Emperor who had only just entered the human world.
Yet his status was not low. He was the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, the most powerful faction in the human world.
Qian Mochen commanded a major force. When they invaded the God Realm in the future, he might provide them with more helpers.
While Gu Yuena was thinking, Qian Mochen and Bi Ji returned.
Bi Ji's expression was unsightly as she strode quickly ahead, as though afraid of being tainted by even the slightest trace of the human behind her.
"You're back. Then let's go."
Sensing Qian Mochen's presence, Gu Yuena urged him to depart at once.
"Wait, I haven't finished collecting my herbs yet."
Qian Mochen walked over to Di Tian with a smile. "Brother Di Tian, I heard that the higher one's cultivation, the more potent their Dragon Saliva becomes. Give me some, will you?"
"I don't need much. Just fill this bowl!"
Di Tian looked at the bowl on the ground that Qian Mochen had mentioned, countless complaints surging in his heart as he wanted to grab Qian Mochen by the head and demand an explanation.
This was what he called a bowl?
This bowl could hold ten of him!!!
Di Tian fell silent, clenching his fists. The next second, Gu Yuena's gaze landed on him. His body began to tremble. He closed his eyes and struggled to force out a single word.
"Fine!"
Since he was here to fleece them, Qian Mochen did not spare the other ferocious beasts either. Even the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, the two gatekeepers, were plucked by him.
"Finished?" Gu Yuena asked again.
"Finished."
Qian Mochen sighed inwardly. Unfortunately, he did not yet dare to fleece the biggest target. Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Gu Yuena from the corner of his eye.
Di Tian's Dragon Saliva was already comparable to ten-thousand-year spirit ganoderma. Wouldn't Gu Yuena, this God King-level Silver Moon King, make him ascend to immortality with a single mouthful?
"Di Tian, until I return, you will continue managing the soul beasts. If anyone refuses to obey, kill them directly."
"Yes, Mistress!"
After giving her instructions, Gu Yuena and Qian Mochen climbed onto a Howling Golden-Winged Eagle lying prone on the ground.
With a cry from the Howling Golden-Winged Eagle, they soon became a black speck on the horizon.
"Go back, all of you. Guard the places you are meant to guard!"
Di Tian looked coldly at the ferocious beasts before him, giving Lord Bear a warning glance.
If Lord Bear had not been asleep today, how could anyone have disturbed their mistress's slumber? If their mistress had not minded it, Di Tian would have wanted to tear Lord Bear apart alive.
The ferocious beasts quickly departed, leaving only Ah Yin standing awkwardly in place by the shore.
Di Tian glanced at Ah Yin. Thinking of his mistress's plans, he rarely offered a kind reminder.
"Blue Silver Emperor, from today onward, cultivate here. The life energy in this area is the most abundant. Those two gatekeeping beasts will be responsible for your safety."
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Lord Di Tian."
