206: Chapter 206 He possesses a terrifying, sealed power within him.
"Mistress, he knows too much."
Yue Lan's gaze turned cold, and for the first time, there was killing intent in his eyes.
Feng Yange raised her hand, staring fixedly at the Ice Jiao, signaling for him to continue. She was curious to see how much he actually knew.
The Ice Jiao panted heavily, struggling, but he tried hard to keep himself conscious. He could not die here, otherwise, he would be eaten by them.
"The Hongmeng Spirit Root requires the five elements spirit beads. Your body already contains the power of four spirit beads. Once you gather all five, your Hongmeng Spirit Root will be complete, but your beast husbands only provide Gold, Water, and are missing Earth and Wood."
Feng Yange frowned. There was also the matter of beast husbands?
"I can find a suitable beast husband with Wood Attribute for you, to help you complete the full operation of your Hongmeng Spirit Root." The Ice Jiao stared at Feng Yange. "Is my bargaining chip enough to spare my life?"
"How do you know so much?"
Feng Yange was surprised. The System said there was a Seal inside him; could it be that he was also a hidden bigwig?
She had been told to find the five elements spirit beads by her Master. Her beast husbands were indeed lacking Earth and Wood power. She had only thought about it before, never expecting that he would know everything.
"I once met a Hongmeng Spirit Root, so I know a little."
"Are there so many Hongmeng Spirit Roots in this world?" Feng Yange was very surprised. The Ice Jiao panted even harder. "You are the second one I have known."
Feng Yange stared at the Ice Jiao in deep thought. Could the second Hongmeng Spirit Root he mentioned be her Master?
"How long has it been since you last saw that Hongmeng Spirit Root?"
"Three months ago. He saved me. He came here to pick the Heavenly Snow Lotus and stayed with me for a while." The Ice Jiao's head rested on the snow, his eyelids heavy; he seemed to be on the verge of death.
But he was unwilling.
Feng Yange took out a bottle of spirit spring water and poured it into his mouth. The Ice Jiao felt his damaged Meridians showing signs of repair. He looked at the human in front of him in astonishment; was she willing to let him go?
"Mistress, could the person he mentioned be Master?"
Long Ze stepped forward to help. Feng Yange nodded, "It's probably him. Since he knows so much, we should take him in; it will be helpful for my Hongmeng Spirit Root Cultivate."
"Mistress, you want to take him in?"
Everyone looked in astonishment at the Ice Jiao, which was supposed to be food. Could it be because his original form looked good?
"Keep him alive for now."
Feng Yange stroked Zhushou's aggrieved eyes and said softly, "He said there is another bad Ice Jiao here. We will eat that one. This guy can help us get the treasure at the Peak of the Snow Mountain. Let's let him go, okay?"
Zhushou's eyes lit up instantly, "Master, can that one really be eaten?"
"Of course, if that evil Jiao does evil, we will eat it." Seeing that Zhushou had no objections, Feng Yange looked at the Ice Jiao, "Where is that Ice Jiao? Tell my contracted beast the location; it is hungry."
The Ice Jiao's tail pointed in a direction, "In the farthest cave, he is injured worse than I am."
"Master, I'll be right back." Zhushou ran off, his speed so fast that only a blurred image remained. Feng Yange hadn't even finished giving instructions before he was already gone.
Feng Yange looked at the Ice Jiao's ice-blue body, covered in scars and flesh wounds, and frowned, "Can you become smaller? You are wasting too much spirit spring water like this."
As if granted the right to live, the Ice Jiao instantly shrank to the size of a thumb, looking up at Feng Yange, his ice-blue body covered in wounds.
"A-Ze, treat his wounds for him."
Feng Yange entered the space and brought out a bucket. Long Ze tossed the Ice Jiao into the bucket. The spirit spring water soaked his body, stopping the bleeding from his wounds. He could clearly feel them healing; this water was truly miraculous.
"Mistress, are you really going to take him in?"
Mo Yuan was highly guarded against the Ice Jiao; a mere Ice Jiao dared to covet his Mistress.
"The System says to either take him as a husband or contract him. I plan to contract him." Feng Yange did not hide anything. "He has Heaven-grade Spirit Root talent, a Seal within his body, and he knows Master and many things about the Hongmeng Spirit Root. Taking him in is beneficial to me."
Mo Yuan stood up and walked to the Ice Jiao, crouching down. He placed his palm on the Ice Jiao's head to investigate, but was repelled by an extremely tyrannical force. Shock appeared in Mo Yuan's eyes; how could this be?
Seeing Mo Yuan's reaction, Jun Chen also made a move and was similarly repelled.
How could an Ice Jiao possess such tyrannical power?
Feng Yange took it all in; it seemed this Ice Jiao was not what she had initially seen.
"Mistress, I'm afraid contracting him won't work."
Yue Lan sat down beside Feng Yange, "This Ice Jiao's aura is very strange. Just now, when he was on the verge of death, the Seal inside him cracked. His background is likely not simple."
"Mistress, if we can't contract him, then take him as a husband." Long Ze did not hide his thoughts. "The aura on him is a bit familiar."
"You mean..."
Yue Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly went to check the Ice Jiao, "That shouldn't be, could he really be hiding his true form?"
Feng Yange was confused, "What true form?"
"Mistress, we are not sure, but you said he has a Seal inside him; it might be of the same origin as the Legacy I received."
Long Ze thought thoughtfully, "Let's just take him as a husband. Let him be Little Eleven, and leave a spot for a beast husband with Wood Attribute."
"Then what about the Earth Attribute?" Feng Yange covered her forehead. "I really don't want to add any more."
"Mistress, have you forgotten? We still have Little Six, who can undergo Beastification. Whatever we lack, we can just have him undergo Beastification into that." Thus, there would be no need for other beast husbands.
"That makes sense. This way, Mistress's twelve husbands will be complete." Mo Yuan stared at the Ice Jiao, his gaze as if trying to pierce through his original form, but the Ice Jiao had already fainted.
"Will he agree?" Feng Yange looked at the Ice Jiao's injuries; they had almost eaten him.
Long Ze picked up the Ice Jiao, "Mistress, I will examine him first."
Xuan Li's eyes lit up instantly, "I want to see too!"
Feng Yange handed the Ice Jiao to them and walked to the edge of the Peak of the Snow Mountain. Could Zhushou kill that Ice Jiao?
"Master, I didn't get the snow lotus you mentioned. Instead, I was chased all the way by monsters on the Peak of the Snow Mountain. I'm injured." Dark Spirit had a large bump on its head, crying about its miserable state. It searched everywhere for the snow lotus, but that wasn't even the worst part. This icy, snowy land hid all kinds of Vicious Beasts—all white with white fangs. It, being a pitch-black Dark Spirit, was like a sore thumb, chased and beaten by them.
Feng Yange felt heartbroken and quickly rubbed the bump on Dark Spirit's head, "Dark Spirit, I've wronged you. I will compensate you properly later. Go back to the space and play with Dengdeng for now."
Dark Spirit nodded; it wanted to complain and have Dengdeng avenge it.
"Can Zhushou kill that Ice Jiao?"
Feng Yange's eyes were worried, "I want to go over and take a look." And confirm one thing along the way.
"Mistress, I will go with you. If we really encounter it, I can help you." Mo Yuan spoke and instructed Jun Chen, "Watch over them."
"Are you sure you can manage?" Cang Yan frowned. "Should I go instead?"
Mo Yuan refused, "No need. Worst case, I'll change into my original form and fight it."
Everyone's eyes lit up. No one stopped him anymore. Their eyes were filled with excitement. Mo Yuan—was he finally willing to reveal his original form?
