Chapter 164: First Collect Some Interest

“This Monarch wants to speak with you privately.”

Upon hearing Thunder Monarch’s request, Ye Qing Han and the others were startled.
They anxiously wanted to stop him, but Lou Mu Yan waved her hand to stop them.

“Alright!” Lou Mu Yan looked up at Thunder Monarch and said lightly.

The strength of this Tier 9 Demonic Beast could sweep away countless kingdoms and clans just by going out.
How could they be able to resist him here.

Thunder Monarch was more satisfied with Lou Mu Yan’s straightforwardness.
He gently waved his sleeves and the one human, one Demon disappeared from here.

“He came for Lou Mu Yan.” Shi Feng knitted his brows tightly.

Ling Fei Yang’s hand on the wheelchair clenched so tightly that it turned white, “Yan’er will be fine.”

That Tier 9 Demon Cultivator had no killing intent.
But he didn’t know what he wanted with Lou Mu Yan, so he couldn’t help but worry.

The several people here were very worried, while Lou Mu Yan stood in a large hall after swaying for a bit.

Thunder Monarch walked straight to his throne and his face was still unclear.
He picked up the glass of wine on the table beside him, took a sip and didn’t speak.

Lou Mu Yan wasn’t in a hurry either.
There were no other chairs in the large hall except for the throne, so she just stood there quietly, her eyes cold.

After quite a while, Thunder Monarch said, “You’re quite bold.
Aren’t you scared This Monarch will kill you all?”

“Your strength is much higher than us.
It’s just a matter of tapping your finger if you wanted to kill us.
Since we can’t resist, then why be afraid, it’s just a waste of energy.” Lou Mu Yan replied calmly and composedly.

“Do you know why This Monarch wants to see you privately?”

Lou Mu Yan felt that it definitely wasn’t simple for this Demonic Beast to find her, so she concealed the strange colour in her eyes, “Is it for the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King?”

“Ha, This Monarch wouldn’t put a mere Tier 6 Demonic Beast at heart.” Thunder Monarch’s gaze remained indifferent.

“Just directly speak your purpose.” Lou Mu Yan couldn’t think of what this Demon Cultivator’s plans were, so she went straight to the point.

“This Monarch will ask you a few questions.
If you answer truthfully, then your lives will be spared.” Thunder Monarch’s voice grew colder, with a hint of threatening, “Of course, if you deliberately deceive This Monarch, then you and your companions will remain here and be the nourishment for the Demonic Plants in the back garden.”

Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes and an indescribable emotion emerged spontaneously.
This was the gap in strength.
In the face of level suppression, she could only yield.

In her heart, the improvement of strength grew even more urgent.
She must become the ultimate powerhouse on this Continent.

“Just ask.”

“What’s the Skill you used to contract the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King? This Monarch sees that it’s different from the Beast Taming Skill of Tian’ling Continent.” Thunder Monarch played with the wine glass and asked casually.

Lou Mu Yan didn’t conceal it either, “Ancient Contract Skill, based on equality contracts.”

“How is it equal?” Thunder Monarch continued to ask.

Lou Mu Yan wondered why this Demon cared about this, but her face was calm and didn’t show it, “After the contract is formed, the relationship between me and my Spirit Pet is that of an equal partnership.
I can’t force them to do anything they don’t want to do, and it’s also impossible to take the lives of Spirit Pets like other Beast Taming Skills can.

“And the most important thing is that once the contracts of other Beast Taming Skills are successful, when the Owner dies, the Spirit Pet will also definitely die.
But the Ancient Contract Skill I use is different.
If the Owner dies, the Spirit Pet wouldn’t die.”

Hearing that the other party’s breathing wasn’t as steady as before, Lou Mu Yan’s lips curled, saying with a smile: “However, the contracted Spirit Pet must not have the slightest thought of betrayal, let alone the idea of killing their Owner.
Otherwise it will suffer severe punishment from the Laws of Space, making them feel as if dying was better than living, and they would never be able to turn their situation over.”

“Can the Owner take the initiative to cancel such a contract?” Thunder Monarch asked in a heavy tone.

“Can’t.
I found and cultivated this Ancient Contract Skill in an Ancient Cultivator’s cave.
There’s only the method of contract, but there’s no method to terminate the contract.” Lou Mu Yan shook her head.

Thunder Monarch fell silent for a while before continuing to speak: “What if your contracted Spirit Pet doesn’t want to be by your side?”

“I’ve always disliked forcing people, same with Spirit Pets.
If they don’t want to be with me, although I can’t cancel the contract, but I won’t force and restrain their freedom.” Lou Mu Yan’s voice was clear and ethereal, but with a hint of wilful uninhibitedness.

She would use both hard and soft tactics, but if she still couldn’t keep the Spirit Pet she contracted by her side, then it was she who was incompetent, so naturally she wouldn’t restrain their freedom.

“How many Demonic Beasts can you contract with the Ancient Contract Skill?” Thunder Monarch asked while rubbing the wine glass.

Lou Mu Yan cursed Thunder Monarch again and again in her heart.
He really was abnormal like the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King said.
Who knew what the use of inquiring about this was.

“Ten contracts can be made.” She didn’t say that, in fact, the contract had no upper limit, and instead said a reserved number.

Thunder Monarch nodded slightly, paused, then asked: “I heard that you human cultivators will have a grand event for the whole Continent soon?”

“Yes.
In another two months, there’ll be a Continental Tournament for Hegemony on Tian’ling Continent.” Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes inwardly.
This Demon definitely asked while knowing the answer.

“You’re participating?” Thunder Monarch’s tone was affirmative.

Lou Mu Yan nodded: “Participating.”

“Very good.” Thunder Monarch took a sip of the wine from the cup and his voice was cold and mellow: “This Monarch needs help from you.
After it is done, the benefits will definitely exceed your imagination.”

Lou Mu Yan chuckled lightly: “What if it can’t be done?” The help wanted by a Tier 9 Demonic Beast definitely wouldn’t be simple.

“Naturally there’s only a dead end.” Thunder Monarch said decisively.

Lou Mu Yan’s expression didn’t change, and her eyes showed an expression of ‘as expected’.
But right now she was under the control of others and couldn’t get away for the time being, “Help with what?”

“Now isn’t the time for you to know.
When you actually have the life to survive until you see This Monarch again in the Tournament for Hegemony, then you will naturally know.” Thunder Monarch obviously looked as if he didn’t want to talk too much.

Lou Mu Yan wasn’t annoyed either, “Sure! I promise you.”

The more challenging something was, the more she liked to do it.
But she noted down the several threats from Thunder Monarch today.
When she had the opportunity, she would definitely ‘repay’ him a bit.

“I didn’t expect that although you aren’t that old, but you’re quite bold.
This is the first time This Monarch has felt appreciation for a person of the human race.” Thunder Monarch chuckled deeply.

“Then thank you for your appreciation.” Lou Mu Yan replied lightly.

“What did you all want to do, coming to the Three Danger Areas of Sunset Cloud Mountain Range?” Thunder Monarch asked.

Lou Mu Yan’s bright eyes gleamed.
She raised her head and said: “Came in to contract a few Tier 5 Demonic Beasts as Spirit Pets.
Since you want me to do something for you, why don’t you give me some interest first.”

“…” Bing Ji and Xue who stood on her shoulders rolled their eyes at the same time.
Did their Owner have to be so arrogant, she even dared to ask for interest in front of such a high-level Demonic Beast… Truly… it made them worship her so much.

Mo Yan’s indifferent eyes were also dyed with a smile.
This woman really had a temperament that wouldn’t allow herself to suffer any losses wherever she went.

Thunder Monarch was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
This human woman was indeed really interesting.
Being here for so many years, this was the first time anyone dared to ask him for interest.

“Speak.”

“Gift a few Peak-Phase Tier 5 Demonic Beasts to me.” Lou Mu Yan said exorbitantly: “I believe that with your cultivation base and vision, this request should be considered a drizzle right?”

“Such a request is indeed nothing.
Sure, This Monarch agrees.” Thunder Monarch didn’t hesitate, “You also shouldn’t remain here any longer, hurry back and improve your strength to participate in the Continental Tournament for Hegemony.”

After speaking, he didn’t wait for Lou Mu Yan to answer and with a wave of his sleeve, she and the few people in the golden thorn bushes were sent out of the Three Danger Areas.

After Lou Mu Yan disappeared in the large hall, he poured a glass of wine and there was a rare smile on his stern face.

“Little girl, after two months, I hope you can remain alive to see This Monarch.”
