If no one had come to attack them, the three of them might still be hiding something. It was no wonder that Donkey's speed of escape was erratic.
"We ate Master's cooking. In our free time, we listened to you play the zither, watched you write, chopped wood, and so on. Unknowingly, our minds became clearer and clearer, and we learned more and more. Then, we learned how to speak and gained some strength!"
The three beasts lowered their heads. They were all anxious.
"So easy?" Su Yin was stunned.
He thought that the three beasts had secretly cultivated while he was not paying attention. In the end, they gained cultivation just by watching him write and play the zither. Was it that simple?
Why didn't he have it? That was too unfair!
The parrot nodded. "We wanted to tell Master directly when we could speak, but we accidentally overheard the conversation of the remnant spirits. They said that … if you knew about this, you would drive us away, so … we didn't dare to say anything!"
"It's them again …"
Su Yin frowned.
These fellows had taught him skills for ten years, and they kept saying that what he learned was ordinary and that his talent was not too strong. He believed them, but when he left the forbidden area, he realized that it was not the case.
Now, they were secretly hinting to the Three Beasts not to say anything about their cultivation … They obviously did not want him to know. What was going on?
"Master, please don't drive us away. We can be your tamed beasts and sign a contract …"
Seeing that the young man was silent, Donkey and the other beasts were nervous as if they were about to be executed. The parrot hurriedly said.
They were only close to Zhang Xuan because he had raised them. They thought that they were his pets, but they had not signed a contract yet.
"Fine!"
Su Yin nodded.
He could not drive them away. It would be good if they could become his tamed beasts.
"Yes!"
Donkey nodded excitedly. Suddenly, he kicked The Great Demon, who was in the middle of grinding, over. "Stop playing dead. Tell me how to become a tamed beast!"
"…" The Great Demon's mouth twitched. He could only explain the method.
"I'll go first …" Parrot was the first to learn. He followed the instructions and successfully signed the contract with Su Yin, followed by Donkey and Old Tortoise.
After completing the contract, Su Yin felt the silhouettes of his three pet beasts appearing in his mind. He could communicate with anyone he wanted to, and he could even control their life and death.
"What kind of strength do you all have?"
The contract only bound the Three Beasts together. Even though Su Yin was the master, he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation and strength.
"We just learned how to talk. I don't think we're that strong!" Donkey shook his head.
Old Tortoise nodded. Only the parrot tilted its head as if it wanted to say something, but didn't say anything.
"That's true!" Su Yin nodded.
Even though Zhang Xuan had just left the forbidden grounds and there were many things that he didn't understand, he still knew a thing or two about cultivation after studying several hundred cultivation technique manuals.
Humans needed Zhen Yuan to cultivate. Only with Zhen Yuan could one gain strength. On the other hand, Yao Beasts needed Zhen Yuan. Without Zhen Yuan, how strong could their physical body be?
Zhang Xuan turned to look at The Great Demon. Perhaps it was because the other party's injuries were too severe that Donkey was able to take advantage of him.
From Mo Yuan and the others, Zhang Xuan had learned of the other party's glorious history. He was once the strongest expert on the continent, but he had been trampled half to death by a donkey, and he had even willingly taken advantage of it …
How tragic!
As for sympathy … Forget it!
The other party might look like a child, but he was actually a sinner. He had killed countless people and committed countless evil deeds. He deserved to be bullied.
Putting everything else aside, if Donkey hadn't become a Yao Beast and gained some strength, he might have been eaten by the other party long ago.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan turned to the Three Beasts and asked, "Do you have a way to control him?"
Without a way to control him, it would be dangerous to keep such a demon by his side.
"We've already signed a contract with him. He's our pet!" the parrot said.
Su Yin nodded. "That's not bad, but we still have to prevent him from doing anything bad."
Having signed a contract with the Three Beasts, Zhang Xuan knew how binding it was. It could control the other party's life and death, but it couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't attack others.
It would be very troublesome if it ran out and killed people.
"That's a problem …" Donkey and the parrot didn't know how to answer. The old tortoise slowly raised its head and said thoughtfully, "As long as he's injured and can't get up from the bed, he shouldn't do any evil deeds!"
"…" The Great Demon's heart sank.
We're both reading comprehension, but why are you always so outstanding?
Zhang Xuan's face paled. He hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged, "Grandmaster, please spare me. Masters, please spare me … I promise that I won't do evil again … I'll beat whoever you allow me to beat, and I'll kill whoever you allow me to kill. I can also give my soul seal to grandmaster to control. If anyone disobeys or does something bad, you can easily erase them!"
I've had enough of lying in bed …
I'm the Demon King, not a vegetable, not a toy. I want freedom …
"Soul seal?"
"It's the core of my cultivation. Eight thousand years ago, I was besieged many times, but I didn't die because of this. As long as my soul seal isn't destroyed, even if my physical body is destroyed, I can revive …" The Great Demon said.
This was his greatest secret. Being controlled by someone was tantamount to being shackled. But … he really had no other choice now.
His "savior" had been beaten away, and the strength of the person in front of him was so strong that it made him despair … Instead of continuing to play the bed game, he might as well go all out.
Besides, which cultivator didn't want to transcend their shackles and become an Immortal?
Eight thousand years ago, he slaughtered everywhere. First, it was revenge. Second, it was to break through that barrier. In the end … he didn't succeed!
Now that an Immortal was standing in front of him … perhaps it was a huge opportunity!
"That's right!" Su Yin nodded. "Give it to me!"
The way he used his strength was too deceptive. If The Great Demon stood guard by his side, if there was no one to treat, it would be good to just give him a few slashes.
"Yes!" Gritting his teeth, an illusory ball appeared above The Great Demon's head. It flew straight over and landed between Su Yin's eyebrows. In the next moment, the latter indeed felt something different. It seemed that as long as he pierced the ball, The Great Demon in front of him would die easily.
Su Yin's eyes lit up, and he nodded in satisfaction.
If he could control the other party, he wouldn't have to worry about a rebellion. This could be considered as resolving a hidden danger.
"When I'm at home, listen to my orders. When I'm not, listen to the orders of the three beasts!"
Su Yin instructed.
"Yes …" The Great Demon nodded repeatedly.
Although he was ranked behind the Three Beasts and was inferior to pets, at least … he didn't have to lie down all the time. This was a huge improvement.
As for the future, he would think about it later.
Moreover, there was enough saint origin here. As long as he absorbed it step by step, his injuries should recover quickly. At that time, it shouldn't be difficult for him to make a breakthrough!
At that time … even if he couldn't become the strongest in the world, he would be ranked behind his grandmaster, Donkey, the old tortoise, and the parrot, becoming the fifth strongest in the world!
Hehe, not bad at all!
A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. Just as he was about to continue grinding in satisfaction, he heard his grandmaster waving his hand. Following which, a clear voice sounded.
"Is there anyone else who has developed a consciousness? Respond to me immediately. Otherwise, I'll reforge all of you …"
Before he could finish his words, a zither suddenly flew into the air.
"Master, I have one!"
Following which, a chessboard also flew into the air. "I have one too!"
Pots, bowls, ladles, basins, stoves, stools, paintings, tables, brushes … All of them flew into the air, chirping noisily. There were even green foxtails swaying nonstop, as if they were monsters.
"…" The Great Demon's body swayed weakly. He felt like crying.
Fifth in the world?
Forget it, it was already good enough that he could be ranked in the top hundred …
