Chapter 615 -616 Persuading Dragon Scorpion (Thirteenth Update!)

This scorpion’s tail is indeed sharp, as my Chaos Battle Body’s defense seems virtually nonexistent in front of it, piercing easily into my arm!

Sun Wukong inwardly marveled, yet his gaze remained fixed on the Scorpion Tail Needle embedded in his arm, ready to yank it out and finish off the Dragon Scorpion at the first sign of treachery!

However, Sun Wukong’s concerns were clearly superfluous, for the Dragon Scorpion made no treacherous move; indeed, as it had claimed, the poison needed to be absorbed by the scorpion tail.

Once the needle pierced his arm, the poison that was contending with Sun Wukong’s Chaos Primordial Force retracted swiftly as if drawn to it, retracing its path back towards the needle and from the needle’s tip, back into the scorpion tail.

As the poison faded away, the sharp sting vanished too, and Sun Wukong’s arm regained its strength.

Watching the Dragon Scorpion retract its tail from his arm, Sun Wukong flexed his limb and nodded; the Dragon Scorpion was indeed sensible enough, actually drawing out the venom from his arm.

“I have cured your poison, you should release me now, right?”

The Dragon Scorpion communicated telepathically.

“Release you? Aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself?”

A cunning smile formed on Sun Wukong’s lips, “Did I, Old Sun, ever say I would let you go?”

“You, you don’t keep your word! You…”

“I, Old Sun, only said I wouldn’t kill you if you cured the poison, but I did not say I would let you go!”

Sun Wukong interrupted the Dragon Scorpion’s telepathy, “Now, I give you two choices: one is death, the other is to submit to me, Old Sun, and become my Contracted Spiritual Beast! Choose!”

“You, you are shameless!”

The Dragon Scorpion was enraged. How could it, the Dragon Scorpion, the Emperor of this Floating Island, who terrified everyone on sight, have ever been coerced in such a way? This was an utter insult!

“Firstly, you attacked me, Old Sun, first!”

“It was you who entered my territory first…”

“Shut up, and listen well to me, Old Sun! First, you initiated the attack! Second, you played dead to deceive me, Old Sun. Had I not been able to withstand your poison, I might’ve ended up like that tree, turned to dust!”

Sun Wukong held up a third finger, “Thirdly, for me, Old Sun, to take you as a Contracted Spiritual Beast is to recognize your worth. Have you ever seen the world beyond this Chaos Vortex in your life? Following me, Old Sun, you could travel from the Southern Sea to the Four Seas, isn’t that much better than languishing in this barren place where not even birds lay eggs?”

“Birds like the Fire-Winged Bird do lay eggs here…”

“Shut up! Arguing with me, Old Sun, huh? You’re turning against me now!”

Sun Wukong’s eyes widened in anger, “With these three points, do you think me, Old Sun, taking you as a Contracted Spiritual Beast is unreasonable? Besides, you’re not the only Contracted Spiritual Beast I have!”

Sun Wukong said, and Divine Sense probed into the imitation Qiankun Bag by his waist, pulling out the Dragon Cat that was deeply asleep, “Dragon Cat, wake up! Hey, wake up! I’ve got a task for you!”

“Big Boss, what’s up? You’re in trouble again?”

Bleary-eyed, the Dragon Cat opened its eyes, a look of helplessness on its face. Every time Sun Wukong forcibly dragged him out from the imitation Qiankun Bag, it was bound to be bad news. It was probably another enemy he couldn’t deal with alone, wanting to use its Innate Divine Ability to help…

“Trouble, my head!”

Sun Wukong said annoyedly and gave the Dragon Cat a knock on the head, laughing and scolding, “Hurry up, go and convince this Dragon Scorpion to agree to Old Sun’s terms and sign a contract with me!”

The Dragon Cat immediately perked up upon hearing this, so no fighting! Just persuading someone? That was his absolute forte!

Looking at the Dragon Scorpion, which was on its last breath and full of resentment, the Dragon Cat sniffed and said in surprise, “Eh? Why do I feel like this guy has a trace of the Dragon Race’s bloodline?”

“Dragon Race bloodline? Are you sure? This guy claims to be a Dragon Scorpion!”

Sun Wukong was astonished. This guy looked like a pangolin but had a scorpion’s tail and carried the Dragon Race’s blood? Sun Wukong had thought that the Dragon Scorpion was just boasting by calling itself that, but it turned out to have a real Dragon Race bloodline!

As for the Dragon Cat’s words, Sun Wukong did not doubt them. The Dragon Cat was a Divine Beast with pure Dragon Race bloodline. There was a strict hierarchical system within the Dragon Race. Higher-ranking dragons naturally suppressed lower-ranking ones by bloodline, even if the lower-ranking dragon had higher Cultivation, they still couldn’t resist it. Moreover, the Dragon Cat was of Half-Step Saint Cultivation and certainly no weaker than the Dragon Scorpion, so it was unlikely to sense the Dragon Scorpion’s bloodline incorrectly.

“Then there’s no mistake, there is indeed a trace of the Dragon Race’s bloodline in him, just very diluted.”

The Dragon Cat nodded, looking at the Dragon Scorpion with interest, “Big Boss, how did this guy offend you?”

After Sun Wukong explained the situation, the Dragon Cat’s eyes widened in shock, “What? He dared to sting you, Big Boss? That’s utterly outrageous!”

A terrifying pressure of a higher-ranking dragon suddenly surged from the Dragon Cat, pressing down on the Dragon Scorpion, causing it to scream in agony as its carapace began to deform. Sun Wukong quickly stopped the Dragon Cat. If he kept pressing down like that, the Dragon Scorpion would likely be squashed to death by the overwhelming pressure of a higher-ranking dragon!

“I never would’ve thought, this guy, the Dragon Cat, always so lazy and lax, could have such formidable might when angered!”

Sun Wukong glanced at the now-subdued Dragon Cat, inwardly amazed. The Dragon Cat was always timid and well-behaved in front of him, and Sun Wukong had never imagined the Dragon Cat could be so imposing now. It seemed he didn’t know enough about his Contracted Divine Beast partner!

“Dragon Cat, just a scare was enough. Old Sun wants to subdue him. His Scorpion Tail Needle has a formidable Attack; it might come in handy at a crucial moment!”

Sun Wukong secretly transmitted his voice to the Dragon Cat.

“Big Boss, don’t worry. I might not be good at much, but when it comes to persuading people, I’m top-notch, especially when it comes to persuading someone to become my underling!”

All this time, Sun Wukong only had the Dragon Cat as his Contracted Divine Beast, and the Dragon Cat had been an underling long enough. Now that Sun Wukong finally wanted to take on a new Spiritual Beast as a contract partner, that meant the Dragon Cat could become the boss and soon have its own underlings. Naturally, he was excited!

Right then, Sun Wukong eased some of the pressure on the Dragon Scorpion, and the Dragon Cat sidled up to his new underling, chattering away. Sun Wukong noticed the Dragon Cat occasionally pointing at himself, seemingly explaining something to the Dragon Scorpion. The Dragon Scorpion’s gaze flipped between Sun Wukong and his own, his expression twisted, seemingly hesitant about the idea of taking him as a master.

Half an hour passed, and the Dragon Cat’s persuasion of the Dragon Scorpion finally came to an end!
