Lin Ke's consciousness appeared in the Niwan Palace, where he discussed possible solutions with the Dream-Eating Gecko and the others.
Seeing Lin Ke's concern, the Dream-Eating Gecko immediately put his brain, which was even bigger than a bucket, to work and proposed a solution:
"Use my 'Divine Mill' to deal with this brat. I'll wipe away every trace, guaranteed not to leave any future trouble for you, Foster Father."
The Dream-Eating Gecko's idea was simple and brutal.
Since Lin Ke was worried that Jin Zhan would expose the secret of his "Dragon-Elephant Prison-Suppressing Force," they could simply eliminate Jin Zhan altogether.
His mental techniques could definitely scatter Jin Zhan's soul to the winds, even wiping every last memory from his flesh.
Even the great demon Golden Roc would be unable to search for memories through Jin Zhan's corpse.
Lin Xuanyuan, however, shared Lin Ke's view. "That would let him off too easily, and it wouldn't achieve Master's objective."
"In my opinion, we should wake him up, beat him into submission, and train him as a mount. That would spread Master's mighty name, too."
The Dream-Eating Gecko immediately objected. "How would that do? Having you is enough. If he becomes a mount, wouldn't he be stealing your rice bowl?"
Lin Xuanyuan's eyes widened. "I'm Master's Spirit Beast. Serving Master is only right. Don't lump me in with mounts."
"If that's what you're saying, you little brat, aren't you a mount too? Your whole family are mounts..."
The two beasts went back and forth, starting another quarrel right then and there.
Lin Ke ignored them.
Neither the Dream-Eating Gecko's idea nor Lin Xuanyuan's was reliable; neither could produce the result he wanted.
He wanted a solution that would settle things once and for all.
As he pondered, a sudden flash of inspiration
