After hearing the little fox's statement, Ye Tiancheng pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly.
Ye Tiancheng said, "This kind of thing is understandable. From the initial situation, according to Bai Long's previous description, we can imagine that Aya has an unusual identity in this place."
"However, based on the situation in this village, Aya's identity is likely connected to Old Wu."
Ye Tiancheng agreed with the little fox's speculation.
With Ye Tiancheng's affirmation, the little fox's conviction grew stronger.
Aya was not simple to begin with, and this drug that could brainwash them was likely not an ordinary one. With the divine artifact Shen Nong Ding here, the possibility of this drug being related to the Shen Nong Ding was very high.
But how could Aya, inexplicably, have a significant connection to the Shen Nong Ding?
After all, considering the status of the people in the village, the one who had been using the Shen Nong Ding should more likely be Old Wu.
If Aya could also be connected to the Shen Nong Ding, then the greater possibility was that Aya and Old Wu had a close relationship. Only then could the reason be more reasonably explained.
Besides this, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox could not think of any other possibilities.
Ye Tiancheng then said, "If that's the case, then we really have nothing to worry about. I'll go back and study it."
"However, even if all of this has nothing to do with the Shen Nong Ding, with the Shen Nong Ding, it will only be a matter of time to resolve the effects of such a drug."
The little fox strongly agreed with this.
After all, it was a divine artifact, and it could not be compared to ordinary circumstances.
If the Shen Nong Ding, which specialized in medicine, could not solve their problem, it would be even stranger, and the entity behind it would be too powerful.
They still did not believe that anything could easily surpass a divine artifact.
This was what Ye Tiancheng and the little fox both thought.
After Ye Tiancheng and the little fox met again, having obtained the Shen Nong Ding, they prepared to return. However, at this moment, Qiong Qi blocked Ye Tiancheng.
Seeing Qiong Qi blocking his path, Ye Tiancheng felt a bit strange.
At this time, Qiong Qi wouldn't make things difficult for them, would he?
Moreover, Qiong Qi had already allowed him to enter and undergo the trial, and finally let him successfully obtain the Shen Nong Ding. With such assistance, Qiong Qi had no reason to go back on his word halfway.
Therefore, Qiong Qi might have something to say, which was why he was blocking them.
Ye Tiancheng glanced at Qiong Qi, his mind racing through various thoughts, and then he spoke, asking Qiong Qi, "Qiong Qi, why are you blocking us? Is there something else?"
Upon hearing Ye Tiancheng's question, Qiong Qi spoke, "There are indeed some things I need to tell you. I want to discuss them with you. If you are willing, of course, it's a good thing, but if you are not willing, it won't change anything."
Hearing Qiong Qi say this, Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
However, Ye Tiancheng still nodded and said, "It's fine, just say whatever you need to say. You've already helped us so much. As long as it's something we can do and it's not a bad thing, we have no reason to refuse, do we?"
"Of course," Qiong Qi nodded unceremoniously and said, "It's like this, because my original duty was to guard the Shen Nong Ding. Now that you have obtained the Shen Nong Ding, no matter what, I will choose to follow you and continue my duty."
"So, you see..."
He paused slightly at this point.
Ye Tiancheng's eyelids twitched. He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but Ye Tiancheng understood what Qiong Qi meant by his words.
Ye Tiancheng asked Qiong Qi, "Then... how do you plan to follow?"
This was, of course, a very important question.
Ye Tiancheng would undoubtedly have to leave Xiao Jing City and return to the real world. However, Qiong Qi was so large, in the form of a giant white tiger, and would be terrifying to ordinary people. If he were allowed to roam freely in the outside world, it would definitely cause panic.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng could not openly bring Qiong Qi into the outside world.
But, could he even contract Qiong Qi?
Ye Tiancheng thought about such a good thing, and felt that if it all fell upon him, it would be too much like a daydream, too unbelievable.
Although Qiong Qi was a fierce beast, in Ye Tiancheng's opinion, after spending some time together, Qiong Qi did not seem too bad. Therefore, if he could get the help of such a being, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for Ye Tiancheng.
Ye Tiancheng felt a bit speechless.
How was Qiong Qi going to follow him?
Was Qiong Qi really going to contract with him?
Qiong Qi then said to Ye Tiancheng, "No matter what, I must follow you, because the Shen Nong Ding is already on you. For convenience, I am willing to condescend and reluctantly sign an equal contract with you."
"Although this is a bit of a compromise, for the sake of the bigger picture, it's not that I can't accept it."
"Of course, if you are unwilling to contract with me, it's also fine. Anyway, I still have to follow you. But at that time, if any trouble arises... I will not be responsible."
Towards the end, because Qiong Qi drew out his tone, the last sentence sounded more like a threat. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
If Ye Tiancheng chose to refuse him, the consequences could be imagined.
Ye Tiancheng was indeed even more speechless.
Although he had a vague feeling, Ye Tiancheng really did not expect such a huge good thing to actually fall upon him.
But this matter was not that simple.
Because it could be seen that this Qiong Qi seemed difficult to manage, and was only willing to sign an equal contract. Moreover, he had said that if Ye Tiancheng was unwilling to sign a contract, he would still follow Ye Tiancheng by appearing openly without restraint.
This statement basically meant.
If Ye Tiancheng was unwilling to sign an equal contract, then he would not consider lowering his terms and signing a stricter contract. He would only choose to follow Ye Tiancheng in a more troublesome way, and then Ye Tiancheng would become the one with a headache.
However, even if Ye Tiancheng expressed his willingness to sign an equal contract, it did not mean that everything would be fine.
Given that Qiong Qi appeared to be such an unruly existence, signing an equal contract would mean that Ye Tiancheng would not be able to control him well. In such a situation, Ye Tiancheng could easily be implicated and encounter many troubles.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng had to hesitate.
Facing Ye Tiancheng's hesitation, Qiong Qi became somewhat displeased.
Qiong Qi, in his giant white tiger form, looked at Ye Tiancheng, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then asked Ye Tiancheng, "Are you actually going to refuse me? I'm willing to sign an equal contract with you, and you dare to refuse me when I condescend like this?"
"Am I not as good as that big snake?"
Hearing the latter question, Bai Long couldn't help but jump out.
She pointed at Qiong Qi and, in her anger, shouted, "What's wrong with not liking you? Everyone knows you're a fierce beast. If you're taken out, who knows how much trouble you'll cause? Who are you calling a snake? Then I'll call you a big white worm!"
Suddenly, Qiong Qi and Bai Long started arguing.
The two of them indeed had a good relationship, but that didn't mean they wouldn't argue.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were both getting headaches from the argument, and looking at them, they didn't know what to do.
It was clear that even the little fox could see.
Qiong Qi was definitely a huge trouble.
The little fox asked Ye Tiancheng, "Brother, what should we do? Are you going to sign a contract with Qiong Qi?"
Behind this, there was the little fox's subtext.
If such a troublesome guy really signed a contract and stayed by his side, would he have a headache every day?
Moreover, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox could undoubtedly see.
Although Qiong Qi and Bai Long had a relationship, they could not stay together for long. There were easily conflicts between them, and perhaps after a long time, they would quarrel from time to time.
Then, at that time, for Ye Tiancheng and the little fox, there would likely be no shortage of headaches.
But there was also another problem.
Qiong Qi had already said as much, and it seemed like they had no room to refuse.
If, in this situation, they chose to refuse, Qiong Qi would not know how angry he would be.
At that time, if the other party got angry and caused them trouble, it would not be a good thing for them.
Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were both in despair for a moment.
Finally, Ye Tiancheng could only say, "What else can we do? If we can sign an equal contract, it is much better for us than for him to just follow us directly. Otherwise, if we can't control him at all, it will definitely be very troublesome in the future."
Ye Tiancheng said this and sighed deeply.
He didn't want this, but looking at the current situation, there were no other better options.
Qiong Qi's ears were very sharp. Although he could clearly hear that Ye Tiancheng said this only because he was afraid of causing bigger trouble and had chosen a smaller trouble to compromise with.
However, Qiong Qi still said proudly, "I knew you wouldn't dare to be ignorant. Being able to contract with me is something others can only dream of. It's you, and you still dare to be hesitant."
"Since you've agreed, let's sign the contract and discuss the terms?"
Bai Long said with great dissatisfaction, "What's so good about contracting with this guy? He only causes trouble. Master, don't listen to this big white worm. Signing him is no benefit, don't sign him."
Hearing this, Ye Tiancheng didn't know what to say.
When Bai Long was scolding Qiong Qi, didn't she feel that this title also offended herself?
However, in this situation, Ye Tiancheng would not point this out.
Ye Tiancheng said, "We definitely need to sign a contract. If we want to go out in the future, if we don't sign a contract, are we going to let you walk on the streets? Even if you are willing, I'm not at ease. We definitely can't let you do this. There are management regulations outside!"
