Chapter 99 – Four claws, three toes, the true form of a dragon
Meng Fan had no desire to acquire a spiritual pet.
His silent cultivation alone was enough to make him powerful, powerful enough on his own.
He didn't need a spiritual pet to aid him!
To be honest, his strength was growing so rapidly that any spiritual pet would struggle to keep up and would only become a burden.
Due to his absolute confidence, Meng Fan felt that a spiritual pet was meaningless to him.
However, at this moment, the green serpent's compliance made him waver.
What was most important was that Meng Fan noticed the green serpent had four claws.
Normal Flood Dragons had two claws with three toes each.
This green serpent had four claws with three toes!
Legend had it that true dragons had four claws with five toes, while lesser dragons had four claws with four toes, and Flood Dragons two claws with three toes.
A four-clawed, three-toed green serpent, though not a dragon, was clearly much stronger than a regular Flood Dragon!
Therefore, this green serpent was a rare gem among its kind.
There was a high probability it could transform into a dragon!
If the green serpent were to become an Orient Loong God, it would be an astonishing omen, and even Meng Fan was tempted.
After some thought, Meng Fan decided to accept the green serpent's submission and become its Master.
At worst, he could simply let it roam free after subduing it, without wasting any time on it.
If one day it truly evolved into an Orient Loong God, he would have gained a true dragon for nothing. A stroke of luck!
A sure win with no losses!
With that in mind, Meng Fan pricked his fingertip, squeezing out a drop of blood onto the green serpent's Demon Pill.
The blood quickly merged with the Demon Pill, and then the green serpent swallowed it back.
The serpent then coiled on the ground, closing its eyes as if performing some ritual.
Moments later, Meng Fan could sense the existence of the green serpent.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
His intuition told him that with just a thought, he could cause the serpent's Demon Pill to explode.
If the Demon Pill exploded, the green serpent would perish!
The green serpent wasn't playing tricks; it truly recognized Meng Fan as its Master.
It wasn't long before the green serpent opened its eyes, looking at Meng Fan.
"Master!"
"Master, Xiao Qing isn't a very nice name, is it? Since it's my own name, can I choose one for myself?"
Meng Fan rejected without hesitation, "No, in our human world, people don't choose their own names!"
"But I'm not human..."
"There are no buts. If you object, I can make you shut up!"
Xiao Qing clearly understood that "shut up" meant being killed, silenced forever.
It quickly agreed, "I've thought it over, and actually, Xiao Qing is quite a nice name!"
"By the way, what's the use of this lotus flower you've been guarding?"
Meng Fan suddenly remembered the lotus flower.
Since Xiao Qing had been guarding it, it must know its effects, right?
Xiao Qing didn't hesitate or hide anything, immediately saying, "I don't know what this lotus flower is, but it never wilts and is always in bloom. Each year, it sheds a petal and then grows a new one.
And every year, I eat the fallen petal.
Each time I eat a petal, my Cultivation Level surges.
In a few more years, I would have been able to transform."
Xiao Qing paused there.
Because there were no more years left; Meng Fan had taken the lotus flower.
Meng Fan didn't care about the hint of grievance in Xiao Qing's words. All he heard was that eating the petals of this lotus could increase Cultivation Level.
Unfortunately, his Cultivation Level was sealed here, so he dared not eat it carelessly, as he wouldn't be able to Refine and absorb it.
It seemed he would have to wait until he left the Demon Realm to deal with the lotus flower.
"Xiao Qing, I am your Master's friend, and from today on, I am your sister," Liu Yanping suddenly approached Xiao Qing and patted its head.
Meng Fan rolled his eyes, finding Liu Yanping's behavior rather foolish.
Liu Yanping had long wanted to subdue a spiritual pet, but lacked the ability.
Now she could only indulge herself with Meng Fan's spiritual pet!
"Hiss~~~~" Xiao Qing opened its mouth wide and let out an angry roar at Liu Yanping, startling her and making her retreat several steps.
"Meng Fan, it's actually being aggressive towards me, not as well-behaved as before!" Liu Yanping complained to Meng Fan.
"You had it coming," Meng Fan replied unapologetically, thinking Liu Yanping's behavior was a bit stupid.
Seeing his Master's attitude, Xiao Qing grew even more smug, opening its mouth wide and letting out another roar at Liu Yanping.
The serpent was flaunting its connection to its powerful Master!
