Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 80 - 39: News of the Immortal Abode and Hearing the Dao
Ao Run wiped his forehead with his claw, a flash of light passed again, and the scales of the cyan flood dragon were restored.
"This was passed down to me by my mother."
"Your mother?"
"Was your mother a true dragon?"
"No."
"Did your mother’s master teach her?"
"My mother found it in an immortal mansion."
"An immortal mansion?"
Su Yu’s eyes lit up and he immediately asked:
"Which immortal mansion? Where is it? Is it still there? Are there any treasures left inside?"
"Human, let’s make a deal. I’ll tell you where the immortal mansion is, and you set me free."
Ao Run’s body rose, leaned forward, and said in a tempting tone:
"It was an immortal’s mansion, with golden pavilions and jade pillars, containing treasures. I only took one item and it was enough to dominate the Yuanjiang River, and there are many treasures left inside, including a rare wonder of the Heavenly Mansion, which is enough to make you a significant figure among your tribe."
Su Yu gave the cyan flood dragon a peculiar look but said nothing.
The cyan flood dragon thought he was tempted and continued:
"Don’t believe me? I can take you there first."
"No, I believe you."
Su Yu snapped back to his senses but in the next second reached out to grab the cyan flood dragon. Its body twisted, bouncing several meters into the air to dodge. Seeing this, Su Yu raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice:
"Come here!"
The gentle words carried an irresistible force for the cyan flood dragon. Its body twisted and flew toward him, caught by his hand around its neck. With a light chuckle, he said:
"You need to understand, you are my pet now, and I am your master. You have to tell me where the immortal mansion is, whether I let you go or not."
The cyan flood dragon lifted its head, with a hint of defiance in its voice: 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
"You’re wrong, I don’t have to tell you."
Su Yu’s face darkened, and he commanded:
"Tell me where the immortal mansion is!"
The cyan flood dragon did not react, its body swirling again in the air:
"Private property is sacred and inviolable. The Heavenly Dao oath does not cover this."
"Sacred and inviolable private property, my foot..."
Su Yu quickly opened the panel to check the Heavenly Dao oath they had signed, and indeed there was a clause stating the servant retains the right to private property.
"It’s true after all."
There was nothing he could do about it; back then, the cyan flood dragon was on the brink of death, and Kong He’an was breaking through the water barrier. There was no time to revise the Heavenly Dao oath, they used the default Master-Servant Contract.
To change it, mutual agreement was necessary to alter the contract terms.
Now that the crisis was over, it was impossible to agree to change from a Master-Servant Contract to a Slave Contract.
He couldn’t use master privileges to force a signature, nor could he intentionally put the cyan flood dragon in peril to compel it. The standard contract clearly states that if intentionally sent to death, the servant has the right to refuse.
"Since force can’t be used, let’s leave it at that for now."
It’s better to get along well first, and ask again once the relationship improves, anyway, the immortal mansion won’t go anywhere, and if it’s an immortal’s mansion, he probably can’t get in right now.
Having subdued a flood dragon, Su Yu couldn’t stay put for a moment. He immediately put away the cyan flood dragon and left his residence, flying towards the Chensha River.
Diving into the river, plunging over a thousand meters deep, Su Yu patted his waist, and a petite flood dragon flew out of the spirit cage, quickly expanding with a long roar into a massive flood dragon over a hundred and fifty meters long.
Su Yu pointed a finger at the Aquatic Race spirits fleeing in terror:
"Go, bite them to death."
"Don’t compare me to those beasts."
The cyan flood dragon reluctantly opened its mouth, gathering countless Gui Water elites around the spirits.
"Boom boom boom!"
Each Gui Water Divine Thunder formed and exploded, instantly turning that area of water into Thunder Pool Chaos.
Once the waters calmed and the chaos disappeared, a large amount of shredded corpses was left, and the blood soon attracted even more Aquatic Race spirits.
Su Yu opened the panel, which displayed:
"Tip: Your spirit pet flood dragon killed a level 58 cyan fish spirit (worthless), and you gained 76 kill experience points."
"Tip: Due to unknown factors, you actually gained 152 kill experience points."
"Tip: Your spirit pet...."
"Great!"
"Keep at it!"
The spirit pet’s kills allowed him to automatically gain half the kill experience, which could be adjusted by percentage.
Similarly, when he killed spirits, the spirit pet could also automatically gain half the kill experience, with a flexible percentage.
Su Yu thought it over and decisively adjusted the experience ratio so that from the spirit pet’s kills, he could obtain 90% of the kill experience, while the flood dragon would only gain 10%.
As soon as he adjusted it, the cyan flood dragon Ao Run got agitated, darted to his front, and opened its mouth wide as if about to eat him:
"You’re too greedy, change it back."
Su Yu explained:
"Your power surpasses mine too much. I need to increase my strength now. How about I adjust it back when I get stronger?"
Ao Run crossed its dragon claws against its chest, raised its head, and said:
"No way."
"Then I’ll adjust it a bit higher for you, how about 20%?"
"The original percentage."
"30%, not more than 30%."
Su Yu said with a smile:
"If you agree, I’ll give you more freedom. How about it?"
Ao Run maintained its crossed arms stance, but turned its head:
"What freedom?"
"If you agree, I’ll give you a few days off each month to go wherever you wish."
"That’s too few."
"Five days?"
"Still not enough."
"A week, at most a week. If you don’t agree, then never mind."
The cyan flood dragon raised its head to think, then turned back, pointing a claw at its chest:
"A week is fine, but I don’t want to stay inside."
Su Yu thought about it, nodded, and said:
"Alright, usually you can stay in the nearby river, but when I need you, you must come at once."
Ao Run considered it, then extended a claw:
"Deal!"
"Deal!"
Su Yu extended his hand to shake the dragon’s claw.
With both parties reaching an agreement, Su Yu saw on the panel a prompt indicating that the flood dragon’s intimacy level increased by 20 points, now at 35 points.
