My CEO Bai Fumei’s wife

The giant ice python's vertical pupils flashed with struggle and humiliation. It had lived for three thousand years and had never bowed its head to any living being, but now it had to admit a fact: the human in front of it was its only way to survive.

"I may obey your orders for now, but I will not be your pet."

"Call me whatever you want, but once the contract is signed, you can't run away."

Qin Yu's hands did not stop. As he gripped the second spear and pulled it outward, the Dragon Whale General's fleet had already approached within three hundred feet. The general with the whale head personally stood at the bow of the flagship, and after retrieving the harpoon from Kui Wu, he recharged it again.

"You think you can save this human insect by pulling out a few spears? These spears have the seal of the Martial Emperor City on them. The moment they are pulled out, the seal will backfire on its meridians. Are you helping it or harming it?"

The words of the Dragon Whale General made the Xuanbing Giant Python stiffen. It felt that with each spear being pulled out, a scorching force was tearing its meridians apart.

"He's telling the truth; these spears can't be pulled out by force."

Qin Yu looked down at the second spear he had just pulled out. The spear was indeed engraved with complex sealing patterns, which were still faintly glowing in his palm.

"I know I can't pull it out by force, that's why I'm asking you if you want to sign a contract."

The giant ice python didn't understand what he meant; it thought Qin Yu was threatening it with the contract.

"What happens after the contract is signed?"

"After you sign the contract, I will use the power of the true dragon to help you suppress the backlash of the seal, so your meridians will not be torn apart."

The words "True Dragon's Intent" caused the Xuanbing Giant Python's vertical pupils to contract sharply. It had lived for three thousand years and seen countless rare spiritual creatures, but "True Dragon's Intent" was something it had only heard of but never seen, because true dragons had been extinct in this world for tens of thousands of years.

"Where did you get your true dragon intent from?"

"You don't care where I came from. All you need to know is that if you sign the contract, I will save you; if you don't, I'll just leave."

The Dragon Whale General's fleet had approached within two hundred feet. The demon warriors behind him, who had been suppressed by the dragon's might, began to struggle to their feet, as the dragon's might was weakening.

"Little Dragon's dragon might won't last much longer. How much longer do you want to think about it?"

The giant ice python closed its eyes, its three thousand years of pride shattered in that instant.

"I am willing to sign the contract."

Qin Yu's lips curled slightly. He took out a drop of essence blood from his storage ring and dripped it onto the Xuanbing Giant Python's brow. The moment the blood seeped into the snake's scales, a golden contract pattern appeared between the two of them.

The Divine Pet Contract is established.

As the contract was established, Qin Yu could sense that the Xuanbing Giant Python's life force was draining away at an irreversible rate. The seals on those spears were indeed backfiring on its meridians, and if it wasn't dealt with soon, it would really die.

"Bear with it."

Qin Yu drew his Nine Dragons Sword, and the true dragon intent on the sword poured out, covering his hands. He began frantically pulling out the spears stuck in the giant python's body, and with each spear he pulled out, he poured in a stream of true dragon intent to suppress the backlash of the seal.

When General Dragon Whale saw this scene, he was stunned. He did not expect that this human would actually have a way to break the seal of Martial Emperor City.

"Kill him. We can't let him revive the Ice Python."

After General Dragon Whale issued the order, the entire fleet began to accelerate, and all the demon warriors stood up from the deck. The dragon's might had completely failed to suppress them.

Zhu Zhen stood between the fleet and the iceberg, his pig body swelling to its limit at that moment, his five-zhang-tall body resembling a moving mountain of flesh.

"If you want to go there, first ask this pig master if he agrees."

General Dragon Whale threw his harpoon a second time, this time with all his might. The pressure emanating from his half-step Nascent Soul cultivation caused the entire ice field to tremble.

Zhu Zhen didn't dodge. He kicked off the ice with his pig's trotters and rammed his entire body into the harpoon.

With a loud bang, Zhu Zhen's harpoon pierced through his left shoulder, but his momentum did not stop. He crashed into the Dragon Whale General's fleet with the harpoon still stuck in his shoulder.

"Boss, I'll buy you some time." Zhu Zhen's voice came from the center of the fleet. His body crashed between twenty warships, and dozens of demon warriors fell into the water with each ship he overturned.

Kui Wu also rushed up, his target being General Longjing himself. At this moment, the two horns on the bull's head began to glow, as the power of the Kui Niu bloodline was awakening.

"Even a cow dares to challenge this general."

A second harpoon materialized in the Dragon Whale General's hand, thicker than the first one, and he smashed it down directly towards Kui Wu's bull head.

Kui Wu didn't try to take the hit head-on. Instead, he spun around in mid-air, his bull tail sweeping out an arc of light that collided with the harpoon, producing a metallic clang.

"My sister was tortured by your human race for three years, and I haven't even settled accounts with the human race yet, but you, a fish, have come looking for trouble with me first."

Kui Wu's words startled General Dragon Whale, who didn't understand why this bull demon would suddenly mention the human race.

"You have a grudge against the human race."

"I have a grudge against those who torment my sister, whether they are human or demon."

"Interesting. A bull demon that has a grudge against humans is fighting for human cultivators."

"I am not helping the human race, I am helping my boss."

The Dragon Whale General's second harpoon was deflected by Kui Wu's bull tail and stuck into the ice. This was the first time he had looked at the bull demon properly.

"Who is your boss that he can make a monster with the bloodline of a Kui Niu willingly risk its life for him?"

"My boss is the only person in the world who treats me like a brother."

Kui Wu's answer silenced the Dragon Whale General for three breaths. He had been among the demon race for five hundred years and had never heard a demon beast evaluate a human in this way.

Qin Yu on the iceberg had pulled out the last spear. The body of the Xuanbing Giant Python began to recover under the infusion of the True Dragon's Intent, and the torn meridians were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"How are you feeling?"

"It's much better than before, but my spiritual power still hasn't recovered."

"We'll talk about spiritual power later. Can you move now?"

The giant ice python tried to twist its body, and its thousand-foot-long body slid down the ice mountain, coiling into a huge circle on the ice surface.

"He can move, but he can't fight."

"If you can't fight, then don't fight. This young master will fight."

Qin Yu jumped down from the giant python's head, the Nine Dragon Sword gleaming with golden light in his hand. The aura he unleashed, fueled by the residual power of the Heaven-Defying Tribulation, caused General Dragon Whale's expression to change.

"You've also just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"What, is that not allowed?"

"You dare to challenge me, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator who has just broken through to the early stage? Don't you know how much difference there is between a half-step Deity Transformation cultivator and an early Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Qin Yu did not answer the question, because his figure had already disappeared from the spot.

The dark golden light of the Purple Sun Divine Armor left a trail of afterimages on the icy plain, the trail ending at the back of the Dragon Whale General.

The Dragon Whale General tried to turn around, but he couldn't keep up with Qin Yu's speed. He could only sweep his harpoon around behind him.

When the Nine Dragon Sword clashed with the harpoon, it emitted a dragon's roar, which caused the Dragon Whale General's tiger's mouth to explode.

"How is that possible? How could someone at the early Nascent Soul stage possess such immense power?" (End of Chapter)
