"Why don't we forget our bet? It was just a joke, "Li Xuan said to Worm Dugu.
"What joke? I, Worm Dugu, am a man of my word. If I can't catch the Ice Silkworm Gu King for you, I'll be your disciple, "Worm Dugu said with a glare.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "I've seen your abilities. If there's only one Ice Silkworm Gu King, you will definitely be able to catch it. However, there are two now. This is unexpected. Even if we fight to a draw, no one will lose or win. Isn't that fair? "
"No, a man's promise is worth its weight in gold. If I can't catch the Ice Silkworm, I'll acknowledge you as my master. I won't go back on my word." With that said, Worm Dugu turned to look at Zhou Wen and said, "If Li Xuan is my master, Zhou Wen, you are my Uncle-Master. It's not too much for an Uncle-Master to teach me a little, right?"
Zhou Wen looked at Worm Dugu in disbelief. This fellow was actually from one of the six hero families, the Dugu family that dominated the South District. This was way too shameless.
"Alright, did you have this idea from the beginning?" Li Xuan was also taken aback when he heard that. Only then did he realize that he had been fooled.
Worm Dugu chuckled and said, "My principle is practicality. So what if I acknowledge you as my master? You still need me to teach you how to rear Gu. In name, you are my master, but in reality, I'm still your master. It's just a title. It doesn't matter. If Zhou Wen can teach me how to rear a phoenix, I'll even call him Master, much less Uncle-Master. "
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were dumbfounded. This was the first time they had seen someone like Worm Dugu. It was an eye-opener.
"I really don't know how to rear a phoenix. This silly bird insisted on following me. I usually don't care much about it. It eats whatever I have. I can't teach you," Zhou Wen said.
However, Worm Dugu immediately shook his head and said, "No, no. I've long read about the habits and eating habits of a phoenix in ancient books. If I had a phoenix divine bird, I would know how to rear it myself. I don't need you to teach me."
"Then why are you learning from me? Don't tell me you want me to help you find another phoenix? I don't have that ability, "Zhou Wen said in puzzlement.
"I know what to fear, but I don't have a phoenix. I just want to learn from you how to make a phoenix willingly follow me," Worm Dugu said.
"I already said that this silly bird is naturally willing to follow me. There's no trick to it. Perhaps its character is better," Zhou Wen said.
"Old Zhou is right. Back when the three of us encountered the chick, only Old Zhou was chosen," Li Xuan added.
"Everything in this world is caused by cause and effect. It is impossible for there to be no cause. If there is no cause, then it could only mean that you all have yet to discover the cause. Perhaps the Primordial Energy Art you cultivate in is rather special, or perhaps you have a hidden special physique, or perhaps something on you has attracted it. In short, there must be a reason. That's what I need to know. "
Worm Dugu didn't say a few words seriously before he said to Zhou Wen with a cheeky smile, "Anyway, there's a high chance that I won't be able to catch the Ice Silkworm this time. In the future, you will be my Uncle-Master Zhou. If you want to teach, teach. If you don't, let me follow you and learn by myself …"
Zhou Wen didn't wish to speak to Worm Dugu anymore. He turned to Li Xuan and said, "I'll help you capture the Ice Silkworm Gu King tomorrow. However, after capturing it, you have to lend it to me for two days."
"Lend? How? " Worm Dugu curled his lips and said, "Gu can't be changed once it recognizes its owner. How are you going to return it after borrowing it?"
"I don't want the Ice Silkworm Gu King to recognize me as its owner. I just need to borrow it to do something. I'll return it to you after I'm done," Zhou Wen said.
"Of course not. You can even take it directly, much less borrow it," Li Xuan said with a smile.
Worm Dugu was a little displeased when he heard that. "If you want to use the Phoenix Myth to capture the Ice Silkworm Gu King, I advise you not to go. Although the phoenix divine bird is powerful, it's still a young one. The Ice Silkworm Gu King won't be afraid of it. If you make a mistake, you might end up killing the phoenix divine bird. That would really be a huge loss. "
"Let's go to the place tomorrow and take a look." Zhou Wen also knew that the Ice Silkworm Gu King was definitely not easy to capture. However, the Xiao family was going to capture the Ice Silkworm Gu King tomorrow. He wanted this opportunity.
He wanted to snatch the Ice Silkworm Gu King from the Xiao family and use it to exchange for Gu Lady.
As long as Xiao Tianfang wasn't a fool, he would definitely exchange two Ice Silkworm Gu Kings for a Kuman Nee that might take Xiao Tianfang's life.
After all, he had already planned on wiping Gu Lady's spiritual consciousness. When that happened, Gu Lady Kuman Nee's abilities would be greatly reduced. She would probably be inferior to an Ice Silkworm. In comparison, anyone would know how to choose.
"Alright, I'll see how you capture the Ice Silkworm Gu King tomorrow. If you can capture it, I, Worm Dugu, will immediately acknowledge you as my master," Worm Dugu said. Clearly, he didn't think highly of Zhou Wen.
"Come on. There's no sense of accomplishment at all being your master," Li Xuan said.
"You can't say that. You might not have a sense of accomplishment now, but if you were to walk in the South District and encounter someone from the Dugu family, saying that they are my master, how awe-inspiring would that be? You wouldn't feel a sense of accomplishment," Worm Dugu said with a smile.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan looked at him in disdain. With his personality, it was unknown how many masters and uncle-masters he had acknowledged outside. It would be strange if the Dugu family was willing to acknowledge him.
Before dawn the next day, Zhou Wen woke Li Xuan and Worm Dugu up and got them to head to where the Ice Silkworm Gu King was.
He had previously heard Xiao Tianfang and Xiao Liuqi's conversation and knew that the Xiao family was going at this time. If they were late, the Xiao family might have already succeeded.
It wasn't good to go early either. Before the Xiao family arrived, they would take away the Ice Silkworm Gu King. That way, the Xiao family wouldn't know that the Ice Silkworm Gu King was in Zhou Wen's hands.
Although Worm Dugu was somewhat puzzled and didn't know why Zhou Wen had to go so early, he still brought the two of them to Yin Wind Ridge.
When they arrived, they realized that someone was already fighting the Ice Silkworm Gu King. The two people in the lead were Xiao Liuqi and Xiao Tianfang.
In front of Xiao Tianfang, there was an ice-blue silkworm the size of a rugby ball crawling on the ground. Wherever the silkworm crawled, the ground was immediately covered in frost. It was obvious how low its temperature was.
It's no wonder Worm Dugu said that the chick probably can't restrain the Ice Silkworm. With such ice-elemental powers, the chick's phoenix flames will definitely be much less effective against it, Zhou Wen thought.
Xiao Liuqi discovered Zhou Wen and company. When he saw Worm Dugu, his expression changed slightly. Clearly, he was afraid that Worm Dugu would snatch the Ice Silkworm Gu King.
