Chapter 196: The Identity of a Contract Master?
"Explanation?" Before Feng Jiutian could speak, Feng Zhi, standing beside her, gave the master a strange look, then her eyes revealed a mocking expression. "Since it was obtained with great difficulty, you should have kept a close eye on it. It was your own people who released that rat to bite people, only to be eaten in return. It is only natural for snakes to eat rats. Don't you all agree?"
Feng Zhi's words immediately resonated with many people, and the Venerable Master's face grew even more grim. He suppressed his anger and said, "This matter is indeed the fault of our Mu family, but since things have come to this, Miss Jiutian, a sixth-tier magical pet is indeed of extraordinary significance to our Mu family. Now that the Scorpion Venom Rat is gone, would Miss Jiutian be willing to transfer your sixth-tier magical pet to our Mu family? If Miss Jiutian agrees, our Mu family is willing to treat you as an honored guest and offer you a reward that will absolutely satisfy you!"
Was he treated as an honored guest by the Mu family?
The Mu family is one of the four great families of Beiqi, with great power and influence. Being treated as an honored guest by them is a dream come true for many people!
Upon hearing this, many people looked at Feng Jiutian with a hint of envy in their eyes.
While sixth-tier magical pets are rare, in their eyes, they are nothing compared to the favors bestowed upon the Mu family.
Are they trying to make a move on Xiao Jin?
Upon hearing his master's words, a chill flashed in Feng Jiutian's eyes.
She could tell at a glance that the Mu family didn't really need a sixth-tier magical pet; they were just interested in Xiao Jin because it was different from ordinary magical pets and wanted to use Xiao Jin for research!
Feng Jiutian glanced at Xiao Jin, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. She looked at the master and said, "Since you can tame the scorpion rat, you must have your own methods for taming magical beasts. Xiao Jin is right here. If you have the ability to tame it and make it your magical pet, then why not give it to you?"
Upon hearing this, the other members of the Mu family were immediately intrigued and looked at the Venerable Master. Although the Venerable Master had some doubts, he was confident that taming the golden snake should not be too difficult for him. After all, they did have their own methods for training magical pets. Moreover, this golden snake had already been tamed by Feng Jiutian.
Just as the master was about to nod, Feng Jiutian continued, "Of course, regardless of the outcome of your taming, the matter of the scorpion poison rat will be wiped clean, and your Mu family will have to pay the corresponding price for what you did today!"
The master pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, regardless of whether we succeed in taming her or not, I, on behalf of the Mu family, guarantee that we will not cause Miss Jiutian any more trouble because of the scorpion poison rat. Furthermore, our Mu family is willing to pay five Nourishing Yuan Pills to compensate Miss Jiutian for the fright she suffered tonight!"
Nourishing Essence Pill?
That's a high-grade elixir!
Still five!
At this moment, many people are looking at Feng Jiutian with increasing envy.
Feng Jiutian remained noncommittal. Pills that were extremely precious to others were nothing special to her.
However, she didn't want to spend too much time getting entangled with the Mu family, so she nodded indifferently as if to agree.
The crowd parted, and all the members of the Mu family, except for Mu Yuan, stood in front of the golden snake.
They each formed a formation in their hands. Feng Jiutian glanced at it and immediately lost interest in the Mu family's formation. Compared to her Contract Master's Manual, this method of taming spirit beasts was utterly insignificant.
The golden snake stared intently at the master and his companions with its two large, bronze-gong-like eyes, its gaze following the array in their hands. After a moment, the golden snake's gaze began to glaze over, revealing a hint of struggle.
Seeing this, the students from the Royal Academy were all worried for Feng Jiutian. Qiang Huan whispered in Feng Jiutian's ear, "Jiutian, your golden snake seems to be about to give out. What will happen if the Mu family really takes it away?"
Feng Jiutian did not speak, but simply looked indifferently at the Mu family group.
The golden snake, drawn by the array formed by the Mu family members, slowly began to move towards them. The group was overjoyed, believing that they were about to subdue the golden snake.
This golden snake is clearly not in the same league as the scorpion and the venomous rat. If they could recruit it for their own use, it would be a great thing for the Mu family!
The golden snake slowly swam to the side of the Mu family members. The leader of the group, the Venerable Master, saw that the time was almost right and was about to activate the formation.
At this moment, the golden snake's body suddenly swelled up, and with a sweep of its huge tail, the two holy masters of the Mu family were immediately sent flying, their bodies crashing heavily to the ground. The golden snake opened its blood-red maw and bit down on the master's hand.
The master never expected that the golden snake, which was about to be subdued, would suddenly attack and hurt people. Caught off guard, the golden snake swallowed one of his arms in one gulp!
"what!"
The master let out a scream, and everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. This golden snake was so powerful that it seriously injured two holy masters and one master with a single strike!
Mu Yuan rushed over to support the venerable master: "Elder, are you alright?" She glared fiercely at Feng Jiutian, "It was you! You did it on purpose!"
Feng Jiutian looked completely innocent: "Anyone who has ever tried to subdue a magical beast should know that it's perfectly normal for the beast to backfire. You yourselves couldn't subdue my golden snake, yet you're saying it's my fault?"
"You!" Mu Yuan gritted her teeth.
She knew that this matter was definitely related to Feng Jiutian, but it couldn't really be said that it was Feng Jiutian's fault, since it was the Mu family who proposed the idea of subduing the golden snake!
"Alright, Feng Jiutian, you wait!" Right now, their Mu family's Venerable Master and Holy Master are both seriously injured and must rush back for treatment as soon as possible. They can't waste any more time. Mu Yuan could only leave with these harsh words before she was about to leave with her people.
"Wait, the Nourishing Essence Pill." Feng Jiutian's voice was indifferent.
Mu Yuan was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder, but with so many people watching, she had no choice but to throw the five Nourishing Yuan Pills into Feng Jiutian's hand.
After the Mu family left, everyone else dispersed as well. Although everyone was very interested in Feng Jiutian and the golden snake, it was too late to disturb Feng Jiutian's rest.
Inside the illusory space, Xuanjizi looked at Feng Jiutian with suspicion: "Why don't you take this opportunity to reveal your identity as a contract master? In the current situation, the more you keep it a secret, the more likely others will make wild guesses, which will definitely not be a good thing for you."
Feng Jiutian's expression was composed: "I know, but if we let the Golden Serpent take action, this Four Kingdoms Tournament will be meaningless. The Four Kingdoms Tournament brings together the talents of various academies, and I also want to take this opportunity to hone my combat skills."
