The blood from the palms of the two dripped and merged, and a silver beam of light poured into the dragon's celestial spirit.
The contract was sealed.
Gu Qianying commanded the dragon, "Kneel!"
The dragon was extremely unwilling, but its legs instinctively knelt at Gu Qianying's feet.
It mentally roared, "Gu Qianying, I will kill you!"
But it vocally shouted, "Dragon pays homage to its master, long live the master."
Seeing the dragon's submission.
Gu Qianying's lips curled into a cold smile.
At this moment, she could neither kill nor release this dragon.
She needed to bring this dragon to prove what he had said, and at the same time, she needed to find someone to personally protect Nangong Mo.
And this dragon was the best candidate.
His abilities were above those of the Yin Mountain Six, and having him protect the current Nangong Mo was just right.
"He needs you to protect him personally. This is my command. Do you understand?"
Gu Qianying pointed at Nangong Mo and commanded the dragon.
Protect him? Protect your grandmother!
While cursing internally, she immediately responded, "Yes, Master."
At this moment, the dragon truly wished it could slap itself.
It was an ancient divine beast, yet it was taking orders from a "little demon."
Not much offensive, but extremely insulting!
"From today onwards, your name shall be A'mu."
Gu Qianying named the dragon.
The name was crude, but the dragon dared not object.
"Yes, Master, A'mu is a very nice name."
A'mu said insincerely.
"Eat this, and you will recover faster."
Gu Qianying handed a pill to A'mu.
This pill had healing properties.
Although this dragon was detestable, it was still useful to her.
She would not allow a weak dragon to follow her.
The Yin Mountain Six had become their own people, and the dragon had been subdued.
No one in Yin Mountain could stop them now.
Gu Qianying and the others successfully obtained the Demon Token.
It was a token surrounded by black mist, emitting a silver light.
The token was carved with the image of a Blue-winged Sea Dragon Beast.
Looking at the token in her hand.
Gu Qianying was curious about the story behind the token's design.
At this moment, the dragon spoke, "Legend has it that the Blue-winged Sea Dragon Beast was the weakest among the ancient fierce beasts. This beast, however, was the only fierce beast that survived the war between fierce beasts and divine beasts.
This beast was insatiable for demons, and it founded the Demon Realm. Since then, the Demon Token came into being.
This Demon Token can summon high-level evil spirits. Those who see this token are like seeing a king. However, this token is merely an entry token for outsiders in Demon Mountain.
For thousands of years, Demon Mountain has been controlled by the Evil Emperor. All the high-level evil spirits there are raised by the Evil Emperor through special methods. Those high-level evil spirits are equivalent to thousands of soldiers and can flatten mountains and rivers.
They only obey the Evil Emperor alone. Besides them, other evil spirits will be wary of the Demon Token in the master's hand."
The dragon explained from behind Gu Qianying.
The Yin Mountain Six nodded in unison.
Although they had never heard of the Blue-winged Sea Dragon Beast, they had heard of the King of Demon Mountain, the Evil Emperor, and they had also seen high-level evil spirits.
Their abilities were comparable to their own, and some high-level evil beasts were even stronger than them.
"Wife, I'm hungry, I want to eat. He also wants to eat."
While everyone was serious, Nangong Mo, who was held in Gu Qianying's arms, widened his beautiful eyes, pointed to his stomach, and then to Gu Qianying's slightly bulging belly.
Gu Qianying: "..."
Everyone shushed.
The Yin Mountain Six looked at each other, and then all six looked up at the sky.
"The weather is quite good today, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes."
The six people made small talk and turned their backs.
However, their inner thoughts were: Oh my, their Lotus Emperor is like a little puppy, so cute.
Wow, the Empress and the Lotus Emperor's child, the little Lotus Emperor is about to be born, that's great!
Wuwu, their Lotus Emperor has become a fool, what should they do?
Wait...
"Cough cough cough..."
Du Chun choked on his saliva and coughed a few times.
Sixth Prince Nangong Li glanced at his Ninth Imperial Uncle, then looked up at his Ninth Imperial Aunt.
Helplessly, he turned his back, slowly took out the last piece of pastry hidden on his person, and offered it to Nangong Mo, "There's only this small piece left. Ninth Imperial Uncle, you eat it."
Nangong Mo frowned, looked at the pastry Nangong Li offered, raised his hand and slapped it to the ground, glared at Nangong Li, then turned his head and nuzzled Gu Qianying's shoulder, "I don't want what he gives me. I want the pastries made by my wife. Wife, I'm hungry. Make me pastries when we get back, okay?"
His clear eyes were devoid of any impurities.
At this moment, Nangong Mo was nothing like his former self.
"I...!"
Sixth Prince Nangong Li really wanted to curse.
But as soon as he thought that his Ninth Imperial Uncle had become mentally unstable for some reason, his anger instantly extinguished.
He silently withdrew his outstretched hand and swallowed the pastry in his hand fiercely.
If Ninth Imperial Uncle doesn't eat it, I will!
"Okay, I understand. I'll make them for you when we get back."
Gu Qianying tiptoed and rubbed Nangong Mo's head, coaxing him.
The Demon Token was originally placed in a cave. After the Demon Token was removed, the ground shook, and the cave collapsed.
All the Yin energy within a hundred-mile radius of Yin Mountain was absorbed by this token and transformed into powerful energy, confined within the Demon Token.
On Yin Mountain, withered plants and flowers gradually regenerated and sprouted, heralding the arrival of spring.
As they descended the mountain.
Nangong Mo followed behind Gu Qianying, his head lowered, tugging at the hem of Gu Qianying's skirt, as if afraid of being left behind.
Sixth Prince Nangong Li, Du Chun, the Yin Mountain Six, Meng Yi, and the dragon followed behind.
"Wife, I'm tired, I can't walk anymore."
Nangong Mo, who had only walked a few steps, started to act up again.
He pestered them, wanting someone to carry him down the mountain.
He chose from Du Chun and the others, and picked Sixth Prince Nangong Li.
Sixth Prince Nangong Li had no choice but to carry Nangong Mo down the mountain with a look of despair.
During this time, Nangong Mo remained restless, occasionally biting Nangong Li's ear, and occasionally plucking Nangong Li's hair.
Along the way, Nangong Li cried out in pain but dared not put Nangong Mo down.
"Stop!"
Halfway down the mountain.
Among the Wu Yang siblings, Wu Yang Feng and Wu Yang Xuan, riding horses, blocked Gu Qianying and their path.
They tied up Lu Zhu and Luo Laya, hanging them from a large tree on the cliffside.
Wu Yang Hao stood at the edge of the cliff, holding a large saber. If he were to swing it, Lu Zhu and Luo Laya would fall.
Upon seeing Gu Qianying and the others, Wu Yang Feng wasted no words. She directly pointed at Lu Zhu and Luo Laya, who were tied up and swaying back and forth.
She said arrogantly, "Hand over the Demon Token, otherwise... your people will fall to their deaths!"
As she finished speaking, Wu Yang Feng deliberately pointed towards where Wu Yang Hao was standing.
"That's Lu Zhu! Luo Laya, the old hag!"
Nangong Li saw Luo Laya, who was tied up and hanging on the cliffside, from a distance. He immediately panicked, almost dropping Nangong Mo.
His indifferent eyes glanced towards the cliff, then he called out, "A'mu!"
Although this dragon had not recovered, it was more than enough to deal with a mortal.
A'mu understood and quietly walked away.
At this moment, in the surrounding grass, figures flickered, and the glint of blades seemed to flash.
Nearby.
Gu Qianying calmly looked at Wu Yang Feng and Wu Yang Xuan, "So it's you siblings. You want the Demon Token in my hand. Do you think threatening me with two insignificant people will achieve your goal?"
Her clear voice was as cold and ruthless as her words.
"Insignificant people? Gu Qianying!"
Nangong Li was furious. He unceremoniously threw Nangong Mo, who was on his back, down.
He turned, snatched a soft sword from Du Chun, and turned to charge up the mountain.
Du Chun held him back and whispered, "Don't rush. Look, who is missing among us?"
Nangong Li was anxious, but he still listened to Du Chun's words and glanced at the people present.
When he realized that A'mu, the divine beast dragon contracted with Gu Qianying, had disappeared at some point, he finally felt relieved.
But he was still worried.
He gripped Du Chun's soft sword tightly.
As Nangong Mo was about to fall to the ground, Zi Chi and Zi Mei from the Yin Mountain Six quickly caught him.
Among the other four, one was lying on the ground, acting as a cushion for Nangong Mo's posterior.
Nangong Mo was startled. He stood up from Zi Xun and turned to hug Gu Qianying, burying his head in her embrace and crying softly.
Gu Qianying coaxed Nangong Mo while giving Du Chun a look.
Du Chun understood, found a grasshopper from somewhere, placed it on his palm, pushed Nangong Li aside, then grabbed Nangong Mo's wrist and coaxed him, "Come, A'mu, there's something fun. Let's go play aside."
Seeing the grasshopper in Du Chun's hand, Nangong Mo was very curious. He nodded and followed Du Chun to play aside.
At this moment, Wu Yang Feng and Wu Yang Xuan didn't care about anyone else.
They only wanted the Demon Token!
"Even if they are insignificant people, you will watch them fall off the cliff and be smashed into meat paste!"
As she spoke, Wu Yang Feng signaled to Wu Yang Hao in the distance.
She was testing Gu Qianying and the others.
Wu Yang Hao understood and raised his saber...
