Chapter 121 Beast Heart Communicator (2/2)

“Why?” The successive failures made the green haired girl frantic.

Yaoyao explained in a dull voice, “Because its bloodline is too powerful.”

“You are too weak in its eyes. For example. while walking on the road, would you pay any attention to an ant that wishes to communicate with you?”

Zhou Yuan stared at Tuntun in amazement. To think that this little fellow was actually so prideful. But wait a minute, if the green haired girl was akin to an ant in its eyes, won’t Zhou Yuan himself be of similar status?

As if it could read Zhou Yuan’s thoughts, Tuntun raised its head, the expression in its eyes seemingly saying, “Have you just realised?”

The corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth twitched as he hatefully grinded his teeth.

The green haired girl had also received rather substantial blow. Her crestfallen appearance was really pitiful.

At this moment, Yaoyao chuckled and said, “But the fact that Tuntun has allowed you to place two heart link patterns on its head in succession means that it is already considerably friendly towards you. If not, you would have already been swallowed by it long ago.”

“Really?” The corners of her little mouth dipped a little further. However, she quickly recovered from her dejection and looked towards Yaoyao with a grin, “Although I’ve failed, I still have to thank big sis. Ordinary people will not dare to give me a chance so easily.”

She then turned her head and shot a look at the two bronze tokens in Zhou Yaun’s hands. “Are you going to the Gu clan’s Spirit Refining Tower?”

Zhou Yuan nodded. “We plan to have a look.”

The green haired girl said, “I’ll also be going tomorrow. In fact, I spent fifty thousand Genesis crystals to buy a spot!”

Zhou Yuan grinned. What a wealthy little lady.

“Heehee, our encounter is part of fate, and I’d be happy to befriend the two of you. I am called Luluo.” Said the green haired girl. However, her large eyes were still mostly focused on Tuntun.

Although she had failed earlier, the girl was clearly still extremely fond of Tuntun.

Zhou Yuan looked at Yaoyao and received a light nod from the latter. She could sense that the girl before them was pretty innocent and did not harbor any ill intentions.

Zhou Yuan said with a smile, “Zhou Yuan. This is my senior sister disciple, Yaoyao.”

“Little bro Zhou Yuan, big sis Yaoyao, we should go to the Spirit Refining Tower together tomorrow. It would be good to watch each other’s backs.” Said Luluo with a lovely smile.

“Watch each other’s backs?” Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed. “Isn’t the Spirit Refining Tower a place to temper the Spirit? Do you feel that there is some danger?”

Luluo’s large eyes blinked, a trace of craftiness flashing within them as she answered, “Who knows. But one should be careful of any kind of ‘free lunch’, right?”

Zhou Yuan was taken aback. Although there was limited places, the Gu clan’s Spirit Refining Tower was indeed akin to a free lunch for many people. After all, raising the power of one’s Spirit would undoubtedly be a huge help to anyone.

High tier Spirit tempering methods were not available to just anyone. Hence, a treasure that could temper the Spirit was naturally very precious.

“Agreed.”

Zhou Yuan chuckled. Although the girl before them seemed innocent, she hid a sharp wit. Whoever believed that she was an easy target would likely be in for a surprise.

...

Nighttime.

Inside a certain large manor at the center of Gu City.

Dull yellow lamp light lit up a secret room where the atmosphere was rather secretive.

“Has everything been prepared?” A raspy voice rang out in the secret room. One would see a figure under the lamp light. His appearance was that of a middle-aged man, but his face was shrunken with age. Light flickered between his brows, emitting powerful Spirit undulations.

“Yes, father.”

A young man in white respectfully nodded. It was Gu Lang.

The old-looking middle-aged man nodded, a dark and stern look in his eyes as he said, “Choose some suitable ones amongst them to have their Spirits extracted. With the nourishment they provide, my Spirit should be able to reach the advance Corporeal stage. When that happens, our Gu clan’s power will rise once again.”

“The two elders and I will oversee things tomorrow.”

Gu Lang nodded and retrieved a string of bronze tokens from his sleeve. Lifelike portraits could be seen on the tokens. “I’ve already done the selecting. They will become food once they enter the Spirit Refining Tower.”

He gently tapped a bronze token, his gaze tinged with playfulness and mockery as he stared at two particular ones amongst them. The portraits on these two tokens belonged to Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao.

He tenderly touched Yaoyao’s portrait, desire gushing in his eyes.

“I’ve said this before, you won’t be able to escape the palm of my hand.”
