At 9 PM, Di Yun and Gu Ningbi returned and joined Chen Mu. It was clear that they had each gained something from their time there.
They were all amazed when they saw the little wild man Chen Mu had bought, and they kept looking at it closely.
"In our Di clan, several ancestors were also Innate Lifeform, but they have all lived for over a thousand years. This is the first time I have ever seen such a young Innate Lifeform."
Although the Di Clan Tribe had just suffered a great calamity, Di Yun had calmed down after these days and was able to speak of his clan in a calm manner.
"Hiss...!!"
Although Di Yun was very enthusiastic, the little wild man didn't buy it and kept baring his sharp canine teeth. If Chen Mu hadn't given him the order not to move with the contract, he would have pounced on him and torn him apart long ago.
"Judging from his aura, this should be a stone embryo that was conceived from the Holy Origin Stone."
The stone fetus's temperament has always been the most stable and pure among all innate beings, but now his eyes are filled with hatred. It seems that his experience of being captured and enslaved has made him extremely hostile to others.
" Chen Mu, it won't be easy for you to reform him."
There are many kinds of Innate Lifeform. There are Water Origin Embryo born from water, Fire Origin Embryo born from fire, and those born from stone are called Stone Origin Embryo. They all have specific inherent characteristics.
Although Gu Ningbi did not live in Kunlun Heaven, she knew more about Kunlun Heaven history than Di Yun, because her master was one of the first Innate Gods born in Kunlun Heaven and had even reached the True God Realm.
"It's alright. I only saved him on a whim. If he really doesn't want to stay by my side, then let him go."
Chen Mu was quite carefree. He had plenty of things to do every day, and if the little wild man really didn't want to follow him, he wouldn't force him.
As they chatted and walked, they soon arrived at the market's inn, where they paid for the night with World Crystal.
Trade was not developed in Kunlun Heaven, and people from various tribes rarely interacted. Therefore, even though it was a market town, no one ran inns; only the market organizers provided overnight lodgings for travelers.
The conditions at the post station were very basic. Chen Mu and his three companions were assigned to a room with only an empty, rough wooden plank and a few straw mats; no bedding was provided.
"The conditions here are basic, but at least your safety is guaranteed, so please rest assured."
This wasn't Di Yun's first time at this market, so he acted as if he knew his way around. He dragged a straw mat to a corner and sat down to rest cross-legged.
None of them were spoiled, so they followed Di Yun's example and each of the four of them occupied a corner to rest.
Chen Mu instructed the little savage to sit down in front of him before he officially began communicating with him.
"Little savage, don't be impatient. I'll break the slave contract in a little while and give you your freedom again."
Although the little savage never speaks, he can understand human language. He was still restless, but after hearing Chen Mu's words, he became unusually quiet and stared at Chen Mu with a suspicious look on his face.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Chen Mu's expression softened considerably, and he slowly spoke.
"After you break free from the slave contract, I hope you will become my disciple. I will teach you all my skills so that you will not be captured so easily again."
Of course, I won't force you to do this, and I won't stop you if you want to leave, but I hope you'll think it through."
After Chen Mu finished speaking, he formed a hand seal and pointed a finger at the little savage's brow.
"Master-servant contract, dissolved!"
The rune pattern between the little savage's eyebrows emitted a dazzling light, and then with a bang, the rune cracked from the center and finally disintegrated completely.
"Ugh...!"
After the slave contract was removed, the little savage jumped and danced on the spot, displaying unusual excitement.
After a while, instead of showing gratitude to Chen Mu, he bared his teeth fiercely, seemingly swaggering.
But he wasn't stupid. The aura emanating from Chen Mu and his group looked intimidating. He glanced warily at the other three people around him, then quickly backed away, slammed open the door, and fled.
" Chen Mu, it seems his bluffing isn't working very well."
Mingye, who had been observing Chen Mu from the side, couldn't help but laugh and tease him.
"No rush, if he really leaves, that's fine. But I think he'll come back."
Chen Mu was not discouraged and smiled.
"Are you that confident?"
Mingye asked, puzzled.
Even if he's not mentally mature, he should still understand the concept of the survival of the fittest.
We're currently in the market town inn. Outside, there are experts from various tribes everywhere. Anyone with a brain knows how to choose.
Generally speaking, those sent to oversee market transactions are elite warriors from various tribes. Moreover, the slave traders are probably still in the market, and with the little savage's current strength, he can't do anything to them.
Therefore, Chen Mu was very confident that the little savage would come back to find him.
"Heh, that's quite a meticulous plan."
Mingye pouted.
For some reason, she thought of herself. Back then, she had also been captured and released by Chen Mu before finally choosing to follow him.
Okay! That's all for now, everyone get some rest!
"Get some rest, and tomorrow I'll charge straight into the Primordial Beginning Mountain Range and see what those people in the Heavenly Court are really up to."
Chen Mu got up, closed the door that the little savage had just opened, then closed his eyes and began to rest.
The next day, in the morning.
After Chen Mu greeted the people at the post station, the four of them left the market together.
Once in the wilderness, the four of them boarded a crawling robot and began speeding towards the Primordial Beginning Mountain Range.
" Chen Mu, if you run like this, your little disciple won't be able to catch up."
Mingye had already noticed the "little tail" following behind and teased him.
"Heh, serves him right for not knowing how to seize opportunities. It's good for him to suffer a bit."
Once the crawling robot is running at full speed, even ordinary beings in the Yuan Formation Stage would have a hard time catching up. Chen Mu had actually slowed down the speed on purpose so that the little savage could catch up.
Sure enough, seeing the crawling robot getting further and further away, the little savage no longer cared about concealing himself and desperately chased after Chen Mu with both hands and feet.
Chen Mu ran for a while longer before stopping beside a large tree, turning to look at the wild boy who was chasing him frantically.
"Wow wow wow..."
After catching up with Chen Mu, the little wild man immediately knelt down on both knees, panting heavily, but still calling out incoherently.
"It seems you've come to your senses and want to become my disciple?"
Chen Mu nodded to himself. This little wild man was indeed a spiritual being born of heaven and earth. Although no one taught him to learn human language, he could understand human nature and even learned to bow to his master.
"Ya ya ya..."
Upon hearing what Chen Mu said, the little savage nodded repeatedly, his previous ferocity completely gone.
Chen Mu could see that the little savage had several new bloodstains on his body, which suggested that he might have encountered danger after leaving last night, hence his drastic change in attitude.
This was pretty much what Chen Mu had guessed. He had originally thought the little savage would be captured by the slave traders and planned to go and redeem him again in the morning, but he didn't expect that the little savage would escape on his own. It seemed that the little savage was quite capable.
