Chapter 76 What if I were willing to guarantee you the position of master of the Pingjiang waterway?
Chen Chunan didn't really care whether it was three or five items.
Seeing that the dragon accepted the gift, he smiled and said, "Now can you believe that I really want to make peace with you?"
Having obtained three top-grade spiritual materials, the Chilong was naturally extremely satisfied and quickly nodded, saying, "I believe you, I believe you. Let's forget about what happened before. I don't blame you anymore!"
Han Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chilong had truly agreed to make amends.
Just as she was about to call Chen Chunan to go back together, she heard Chen Chunan say, "I see you really like those spiritual materials. Have you thought about earning some more?"
Although Chen Chunan didn't know the exact value of those spiritual materials, he could tell from the appearance of the dragon that the things he had were very tempting, not very tempting to the dragon.
Han Qiuyue's heart stirred upon hearing Chen Chunan's words. She knew that Chen Chunan intended to lure her with benefits, but she was not optimistic about it, because she had already used this trick before.
As expected, upon hearing Chen Chunan's words, the little dragon's face instantly turned wary: "What do you want to do?"
Chen Chunan said, "I heard that the viper has been wanting to marry you. How dare that shameless snake, who can't even transform into a dragon, harass a descendant of a true dragon? It's like a toad trying to eat swan meat! We're just about to deal with this shameless snake. Are you interested in lending a hand? The reward is the spiritual materials I just took out. What do you think?"
As soon as Chen Chunan finished speaking, he looked at the Chilong with anticipation, only to see a disdainful expression on the Chilong's face.
"Do you think I'm stupid? If I agree to your request, you'll definitely send me to lead the charge. Whether you give me the spiritual materials or not, I'll have made an irreconcilable enemy of the viper."
Chen Chunan glanced back at Han Qiuyue, as if to say, "Do I look that sinister?"
Han Qiuyue couldn't help but chuckle.
Chen Chunan genuinely wanted to win over this Chilong, while the Viper was determined to eliminate him.
The water veins of Pingjiang will definitely be depleted by then, although they will most likely still fall into the hands of this Chilong.
However, it would be more appropriate for me to take advantage of her lack of knowledge about the Heavenly Tribulation Plan and get her to join me voluntarily, using the Pingjiang water vein as a bargaining chip to exchange for her making a three-point agreement or a vow.
Of course, after eliminating the viper, they could also choose to eliminate the dragon.
However, the power of water veins has an inherent and fatal attraction to demons in the water, and new demon kings will always be born.
Rather than having to manage Pingjiang every now and then in the future, it would be better to hire a hired hand to help with the management.
Thinking of this, Chen Chunan looked at Han Qiuyue and said, "True Lord Han, I think the Chilong is more suitable to be the master of the Pingjiang water veins. What do you think?"
Chen Chunan's words made both the man and the dragon's hearts skip a beat.
Han Qiuyue felt that Chen Chunan's idea was too audacious; he dared to make such a promise.
But upon closer examination, there is indeed a lot of room for maneuver.
As the leader of a sect, she naturally understood what it meant for those below to follow the example set by their superiors. If Chilong were to become the ruler of Pingjiang, those demons would also be restrained.
In Jiangzhou, there are many demons that eat people. The serpent itself loves to eat people, and Jiangzhou has suffered from this for a long time.
Thinking of this, she looked directly at the Chilong.
Chilong's heart skipped a beat because of Chen Chunan's words.
She certainly wanted all the waterways in Pingjiang, but she was worried that it was still a trap.
She didn't have the same level of cultivation as the viper, so she was no match for the four of them working together. Even if the water vein was good, one had to be alive to enjoy it.
Seeing that the dragon hesitated, Han Qiuyue knew that something was going to happen, so she immediately added fuel to the fire.
"If Fellow Daoist Chilong is willing to help us destroy the viper, I am willing to guarantee you the position of master of the water veins, and I am willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao!"
A vow to Heaven?
Chilong's already somewhat tempted heart was instantly shaken.
His expression shifted between light and dark for a moment.
Seeing that Chilong was really considering it, Chen Chunan transmitted his voice to Han Qiuyue: "True Lord, this Chilong seems to be rather timid and cautious. If we are too lenient with the conditions, she might become worried. Perhaps we should add a few more stringent conditions, such as that aquatic creatures must not eat people and must not harm people without cause."
Han Qiuyue's beautiful eyes lit up, and she nodded.
He then went up to the dragon and started talking to it in detail.
...
I don't know how much time passed.
Han Qiuyue flew back with a Chilong who looked excited.
Han Qiuyue even introduced him to Chen Chunan, saying, "From now on, Fellow Daoist Chi Mianxi will be an elder of my Hanyue Cave Heaven."
Chi Mianxi? The name does fit the identity of a dragon, but the name Mianxi doesn't sound very auspicious.
Chen Chunan's mind was racing with impolite thoughts, but he spoke very politely: "Greetings, Elder Chi."
Chi Mianxi looked at Chen Chunan and suddenly asked hesitantly, "Do you still stand by what you said about earning spiritual materials?"
what?
Chen Chunan paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, of course it counts!"
Chi Mianxi's eyes instantly curved into crescent moons: "I knew you were a good person!"
Chen Chunan felt awkward listening to those words.
If I remember correctly, I used to be called a despicable human and a bastard by you, right?
Chen Chunan thought to himself, but didn't show it on his face.
However, he was now completely certain that this Chilong was indeed a rather simple dragon, and also a bit poor.
Han Qiuyue was overjoyed to have recruited a Nascent Soul cultivator for the Taiyin Sect.
His usual aloof expression transformed into a gentle spring breeze: "My Cold Moon Grotto has quite a few treasures; I can give you some of them."
Chi Mianxi's eyes sparkled as she quickly expressed her gratitude: "Thank you so much, Master! You're a good person too!"
Han Qiuyue smiled slightly, then said, "Would you like to visit my Hanyue Cave Heaven? Although there is no water vein there, the spiritual energy is quite abundant."
Chi Mianxi nodded vigorously; she had long been curious about the ancient immortal lineage.
The two sides have different positions, so she never had a chance to understand them. Now that there is a ready-made opportunity, she certainly won't miss it.
Seeing that she agreed, Han Qiuyue summoned her magic weapon and took the two of them back to Hanyue Cave.
On the way, Han Qiuyue transmitted her voice to Chen Chunan: "Thank you for your idea. I only wanted her to be an observer, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise."
"You're too kind, My Lord. It's all for the sake of Jiangzhou."
Chen Chunan's gaze was distant; cultivating the five virtues would begin in Jiangzhou!
...
Pingjiang Water Mansion
The viper left the pass before its wounds had fully healed.
The enormous snake head almost touched the little demon who was lying on the ground.
His terrifying, vertical, snake-like eyes were filled with murderous intent: "You mean, that bitch Chi Mianxi has joined the Taiyin Sect?"
"I dare not lie. I saw with my own eyes that Chi Mianxi went to Jiangzhou with two humans, and they were chatting and laughing along the way."
Despite having lost a section of its tail, the black snakehead remained as ferocious as ever, its face radiating murderous intent as it said, "Brother, I told you that dragon was unreliable! She's not on our side! Let's ambush her in her underwater palace, and kill her as soon as she returns!"
Upon hearing the black snake's words, the viper's snake-like eyes grew even more terrifying: "Fine! Let's head upstream immediately. I'll devour this bitch alive!"
