Subduing Jiu Feng, secrets buried in dust

[Ding... "Rat-Tail Whip" effect triggered. Gained follower ×1]

As the mechanical notification sounded, information about Saint Jiu Feng immediately appeared on the Virtual Light Screen.

Seeing [Loyalty: 100] (cannot betray) on the Light Screen, Yu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The words (on cooldown) also appeared on the [Rat-Tail Whip]. He would have to wait three days before using it again.

He tossed the Rat-Tail Whip out, and it transformed back into the Hidden Rat.

Perhaps triggering the enslavement effect had taken its toll, because Zhizhi was utterly exhausted.

Back in rat form, Zhizhi scrambled onto Yu Yuan's shoulder and kept panting with tongue out.

Yu Yuan found Zhizhi's appearance rather amusing.

Still, the chance of triggering this enslavement effect really was ridiculously low. But then again, the [enslavement] effect had been converted from the old [Missionary's Enslavement Bridle].

The [Missionary's Enslavement Bridle] could only be used once. Although the [Rat-Tail Whip] had a low chance of triggering enslavement and even required a three-day cooldown afterward, Yu Yuan was already perfectly satisfied.

It had gone from a single-use item to something he could keep using.

What more could he ask for?

Yu Yuan knew a good deal when he saw one.

Mona, who had been waiting nearby the whole time, saw Yu Yuan suddenly stop what he was doing and Zhizhi reappear.

She immediately realized that Yu Yuan had achieved his goal.

Sure enough, a moment later, he spoke.

"Mona, heal Jiu Feng! Then untie him."

"Okay!"

Ten minutes or so later, in the Underground Command Hall.

Holding Zhizhi, Yu Yuan listened to Saint Jiu Feng's account and fell deep into thought.

"So that's how it was!"

His earlier impression of Jiu Feng had not been wrong.

Jiu Feng really had offered to join Yu Yuan
