"Give it to me, and I'll spare your life," said Su Ping coldly.
The white-scaled serpent trembled, knowing that Su Ping was talking about its child.
Its eyes trembled as it turned its head to look at the little beast that it had coiled around. An extremely complicated look appeared in its eyes.
Whoosh!
The tall dragon flew close from a distance. It was shocked and infuriated after hearing Su Ping's words, but it didn't dare to roar at Su Ping. It simply sent a telepathic message, begging, "Human, if you want to take my child, I'll spare your life.
"Human, capture me if you want. Please let go of my child. I'm willing to take its place. I'm at the peak of the Fate State, and I have a vague understanding of the power of laws. Maybe I'll reach the Star State soon. I'm definitely more valuable to you. Just take my place!"
Su Ping glanced at it and cast an appraisal technique since it was quite close to him.
Combat strength: 49.9.
Cultivation: Peak of the Fate State.
Aptitude: Low-high.
Tsk, it's not good enough.
Su Ping shook his head. The serpent would have a mid-level aptitude if it could break the bottleneck and reach fifty points. Unfortunately, it was still not good enough.
Su Ping withdrew his gaze uninterestedly and said indifferently, "You're not as precious as your child."
Those dragons didn't have any appraisal techniques or advanced equipment from the Federation, so they didn't know the aptitude of the white-scaled hybrid dragon. It might grow into the new king of the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons if it were nurtured there!
"…"
The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon was stunned for a moment, confused.
It didn't know whether it should feel happy or bitter after hearing Su Ping's words.
Its child was a hybrid with an impure bloodline. Such a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon had a very low status and limited potential in its species.
Su Ping was abandoning such a genius dragon and asking for its child.
Was he thinking too highly of it?
It was both happy and sad. It didn't need to be thought so highly of!
"Leave it to me." Su Ping didn't want to waste any more time. Although the Dragon King had been repelled, no one knew when it would return. His tone was cold as he said, "I've said it before. I'm taking it away to nurture it, not to kill it. In the future, when it's strong enough or I don't need it anymore, I'll let it return here."
"You …"
The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon was about to say that it was a liar! However, just as the words were about to come out of his mouth, he stopped himself. He thought about the terrifying power Su Ping had just displayed. Even if he killed all of them, he could still take his child away by force. If he said that, it would only anger this human.
At the same time, it also had some doubts about Su Ping's words.
Could it be that this human was serious?
While it was thinking, the white-scaled serpent looked at its child. There was no telling if it had believed Su Ping, but it turned around and said to Su Ping, "Please take good care of my child.
"Human, please take good care of my child. It's very afraid of strangers and is very timid. Perhaps you've misjudged it, but if you really don't need it in the future, I hope you won't kill it or sell it. If you're willing to let it come back here, I can exchange it with me …"
Its voice was filled with bitterness, affection, and tenderness, like that of a grieving mother.
Su Ping's eyes slightly flashed after hearing the emotions in its voice.
He had seen countless wild beasts in the cultivation sites. Some were ferocious, some were kind, and some were cannibalistic to other races but gentle to their own kind.
Those wild beasts couldn't be defined by pure kindness and evil.
Kindness and evil were too frivolous when it came to survival!
They were so frivolous that they weren't even worth discussing!
"I'm not wrong about it. You're wrong about it." Su Ping looked at the white-scaled serpent and said, "Your child is far more powerful than you think. It's the most talented one I've seen so far. It'll prove me right if you see it again in the future."
The white-scaled serpent looked at Su Ping's calm eyes and heard the certainty and confidence in his voice. It didn't know why the human valued its child so much.
Was there really something special about its child?
But it was only a hybrid; even its dragon bloodline wasn't pure …
"Leave it to me."
Su Ping didn't want to waste any more time.
The white-scaled serpent looked at the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon and communicated with its eyes. The dragon trembled slightly; it was extremely painful to watch its child being taken away by a human being.
However, it was unable to resist Su Ping's strength.
Even its father wasn't a match for Su Ping. If they infuriated the human, not only would their child die, even their beloved white-scaled serpent would be killed!
"Child, I'm sorry …"
The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon said to the child who was curled up by the white serpent with a painful expression.
The white-scaled Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon looked panicked and confused.
"Child, you have to be strong and live well …" The white-scaled python also turned its head and looked at its child with a gentle gaze.
…
After they said goodbye, Su Ping signed a contract with the white-scaled dragon so that it could be stored in the summoning space.
At the same time, the system notified him that his hunting quest had been completed!
The Pet Aptitude Book appeared in the system's storage; Su Ping could take it out at any time, but he wasn't in a hurry to use it. He had to consider who to give it to and when to use it.
"Grow stronger if you want to see them again."
Su Ping chuckled while sitting on the Inferno Dragon's shoulder as he looked at the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon that kept looking back.
Because of the contract, his pets could understand what he was saying.
The white-scaled dragon looked at Su Ping with confusion in its eyes after hearing that. There was no telling if it was because of the contract or other reasons, but it wasn't hostile to Su Ping.
It could understand what its parents had said earlier.
They had run away not only to avoid Su Ping, but also to avoid their grandfather who was trying to kill them.
They might have been captured by the enemy if Su Ping hadn't shown up. For those reasons, it didn't dislike Su Ping. On the other hand, Su Ping had shown extraordinary strength and defeated its grandfather whom it had always feared. It truly felt the charm of strength for the first time!
Grow stronger …
Su Ping's words echoed in its mind. The confusion in its eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a sharp and resolute look.
…
"That human signed a contract with Lin 'er. I don't think he's going to sell it."
"Lin 'er is in a better situation if it follows such a human expert …"
The white-scaled serpent and the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon looked at Su Ping and their child who were getting further and further away. Both of them were reluctant to part with each other, but there was also tenderness in their eyes.
"Father is wounded. The ritual will probably be delayed. I'll take you somewhere to hide," said the strong dragon gently.
The white-scaled serpent looked at it and hesitated. Eventually, it summoned its courage and said, "Why don't we go together?"
"No, I have to stay." The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon shook its head. "Father will fly into a rage and search for us if I leave too. Let me appease his fury!"
"But … You … You'll die!" The white-scaled serpent was anxious.
The Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon put on a gentle smile when it saw how anxious it was. It said, "That won't happen. I'm the bravest warrior of my race. My father was planning to pass the position to me. Besides, I've already touched the threshold of laws; my race needs a successor. I'll just be punished."
The white-scaled serpent was stunned; there was guilt and pain in its eyes. "I'm the one who's burdening you …"
"Nonsense. I'm the one who's burdening you and our child. It's my fault for not giving you a good environment …"
…
…
After flying for hundreds of kilometers, he recalled the white-scaled Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon and asked the Inferno Dragon to fly at full speed.
"Should I catch some and sell some of the Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons if they're so valuable?"
Su Ping was quite relaxed after the mission was accomplished. He was tempted by the dark clouds above his head.
That was a famous pet on Rhea; it would definitely attract a lot of customers. It would sell very well.
"The shop has reached level four. Pets with aptitudes below the mid-level are forbidden to be sold," said the system unhurriedly.
Su Ping was stunned. "Is there a requirement?"
"Of course. The shop's products must be of the best quality!" said the system proudly.
Su Ping was at a loss for words. If that were the case, few Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons could be sold on Rhea.
Unless he caught one and trained it himself to raise its aptitude to the mid-level.
"System, you're making trouble for me!" Su Ping wasn't happy, as the system was adding more tasks for him.
"The higher the aptitude, the higher the price. The host should have the awareness to run the best pet store in Chaos!" said the system casually.
Forget about the awareness … Su Ping rolled his eyes. However, the system did mention that the higher the aptitude, the higher the price. It wouldn't be a loss if that were the case.
"Huh?"
Very soon, Su Ping detected the aura of a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon; it was in the Fate State.
Whoosh!
Su Ping flashed and rushed over.
…
At the same time, at the edge of the Thunderous Woods —
Many of the hunting squads lurking there were hesitant to move forward.
"The tremors just now … Is someone hunting in there?"
"Hunting? Such a huge noise. Are they hunting a bunch of Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons? I feel that the entire forest is shaking! "
"Is a top Fate State expert here? Isn't he afraid that the dragon king on the Thunderous Dragon Mountain will intervene in person if he's here to capture a Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon?"
The noises caused by the battle in the Thunderous Woods had alarmed the hunters who had lurked there. They had gone through a lot of trouble to sneak in and catch a couple of Vast Sky Thunderous Dragons, only to hear the deafening noises. Some of them flew to the sky and saw the enormous energy bursting out in the distance. It was obvious that a battle had taken place.
The Thunderous Woods were very close to the Thunderous Dragon Mountain, and the dragon king of the mountain was in the Star State. Those people didn't know who was bold enough to cause such a huge commotion in the Thunderous Woods.
"Miss Mia, are we going to keep going?"
Someone in one of the exploration squads asked in a certain part of the woods.
The team consisted of six people, four men and two women. The leader of the group turned around and asked a fully-armed silver-haired woman.
The silver-haired woman was exactly Laiyefa and Mia, who had visited Su Ping's shop.
"Did you hear the dragon's roar? Even my Rotten Chain Ghost was trembling. It wouldn't be scared even if it were to see a beast at the peak of the Fate State …" another young man said with a pale face.
Next to him was a black, rotten beast that was almost ten meters tall and had many chains nailed to its body. The beast was trembling at the moment; it didn't seem to have calmed down even though the tremors and noises had passed several minutes ago.
…
I forgot to mention the Little Skeleton and corrected it. Sorry for the trouble …
