Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1396: Negotiating Terms

Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: Negotiating Terms

Upon hearing Mu Ze call them "ignorant," the three young n Mu Xi, Mu Chi, and Chen Pei felt very indignant, but Mu Ze was the ancestor of the Mu family. They were embarrassed to contradict him directly, rely pursed their lips in discontent.

Inkwest City sighed and looked at Mu Ze, saying: "Xiao Ze, now it’s my turn to ask you, am I the culprit who brought disaster to the Mu Water Clan? Would you bla ?"

Mu Ze imdiately shook his head and replied: "No, the matter started because of , if anyone is to bla, it should be ."

For Inkwest City, these were the warst words he’d heard in his life.

He looked at the elderly and haggard Mu Ze, and began to regret his impulsiveness at the ti; he regarded Mu Ze as his best friend, yet destroyed Mu Ze’s family.

At this mont, Qin Sisi walked nearby Inkwest City and Mu Ze, gently saying: "What if I have an artifact akin to the Jade Dragon Pattern Bottle that can release water sources?"

Both Inkwest City and Mu Ze’s expressions changed, turning their heads to stare unblinkingly at Qin Sisi.

After a while, Inkwest City pondered aloud: "As far as I know, only two artifacts from the Ancient Era can autonomously release water sources, one being the Jade Dragon Pattern Bottle ford by the Divine Dragon, and the other the Ten-thousand-year of Water Spirit Beads. The Jade Dragon Pattern Bottle was shattered by ; could it be that you have the Water Spirit Pearl?"

Qin Sisi closed her eyes, gathering her Divine Sense into the Magic Source where, near the blue Water Attribute Crystal Core, she found the hidden Water Spirit Pearl.

As a Vastness Treasure, the Water Spirit Pearl does not disappear; however, the Water Spirit Force it emits can already rge with Qin Sisi’s Magic Source. It will continuously emit Water Spirit Force for Qin Sisi to absorb, enhancing her Water Magic increasingly.

Qin Sisi concentrated her magic power to bring out the Water Spirit Pearl from the Magic Source, moved it along her ridians to her mouth, then opened her mouth and spat out a bead the size of a pigeon egg.

The bead was suspended in mid-air by a trace of Wind Attribute Magic Power, its blue shimring brilliance dazzling and captivating.

"It’s truly the Water Spirit Pearl!" Inkwest City exclaid, if he had doubts before, now he saw it with his own eyes.

Separated from Qin Sisi’s body, a faint mist started to envelop around the Water Spirit Pearl—abundant Water Attribute Magic Power that, given the right conditions, could quickly transform into a clear and clean water source.

"Follow ," Inkwest City said loudly, and then he picked up the emaciated Mu Ze, gathering his magic wings, and flew towards Kurosawa Highland.

Qin Sisi imdiately retracted the Water Spirit Pearl, leaped onto Ye You’s shoulder, after having rested and tily taken the elixir, Ye You’s magic power had recovered more than half, and swiftly he gathered magic wings, flew across the chasm separating Kurosawa Highland and Stoning Plain, following Inkwest City’s silhouette.

Mu Xi and the others also wanted to go over and have a look, but their magic power was insufficient; the magic wings Mu Chi barely conjured couldn’t carry him to fly stably, Mu Xi couldn’t even conjure magic wings, let alone Chen Pei, who was just an ordinary person without any magic power.

The only one who could fly across the chasm was Clan Leader Mu Feng, yet he stood still without any intention of following.

Mu Xi dashed to Mu Feng’s side, hurriedly saying: "Father, aren’t you going over to have a look?"

Mu Feng shook his head, saying in a low voice: "I think it’s better if we wait here."

"Why?" Mu Xi asked in confusion.

Mu Feng explained: "With the Treasure appearing, surely there will be disturbances. Our mana is weak; going there not only wouldn’t help, we could beco a burden to them."

Another reason was that he didn’t feel safe leaving the three children there.

The three youths, helpless, could only wait anxiously on this side of the chasm.

Inkwest City flew quickly all the way, landing beside the large rock where the Jade Dragon Pattern Bottle was buried years ago. When he shattered the Jade Dragon Pattern Bottle, he also fragnted a large area of rock, though this rock was extraordinarily large, and only a small part was shattered.

Ye You soon arrived, landing not far from Inkwest City.

Inkwest City glanced at Ye You and Qin Sisi, pointing to the large rock saying: "Back then the Jade Dragon Pattern Bottle was buried here."

Qin Sisi observed for a mont, the rock was large but not densely structured, with many small crevices; it was because of these small crevices that the water source released from the Jade Dragon Pattern Bottle could flow out.

She pondered for a mont, then said to Inkwest City: "Deity, actually, I have a favor to ask."

With all conditions t, it was ti to negotiate. She indeed sympathized with the Mu Water Clan’s plight and wished to help, but the cost was significant. If she could obtain what she wanted in the process, it would be a win-win situation.

Inkwest City was stunned for a mont, then realized that there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world; even the hero in the prophecy sent to save the Mu Water Clan would want to negotiate terms.

"Speak," Inkwest City said solemnly.

Qin Sisi turned to him, spoke softly: "I want the Life Divine Water."

Inkwest City froze again, thought for a mont, and said: "Were you cursed into a cat because your body has a problem, and you won’t live long?"

Previously, no one had outright said this to her face; Inkwest City’s bluntness made Qin Sisi’s heart ache, she nodded and replied: "Yes."

Ye You said softly: "Don’t worry, I won’t let you die."

Inkwest City snorted: "If you weren’t driven this far, you surely wouldn’t risk the dangers to co here. Her life is in my hands, why do you think you can keep her from dying?"

Inherently cold and arrogant, he disliked others being arrogant before him.

Ye You glanced at him, spoke coldly: "If you refuse to hand over the Life Divine Water, then kiss the Water Spirit Pearl goodbye; without it, the Mu Water Clan will eventually perish, and you two won’t fare well either."

No one had ever spoken to Inkwest City so rudely before, even Pu Lizi, the grand elderly, rely asked him to leave and didn’t dare tell him he "wouldn’t fare well."

Inkwest City angrily retorted: "You rude brat, believe , I’ll turn you both into stones of Kurosawa Highland?"

Qin Sisi’s expression grew serious, yet Ye You raised his brow and said: "For three thousand years you’ve been infusing Mu Ze with the Vitality Force, consuming much of your magic power. You may have been formidable before, but now you might not be my match."

Inkwest City, unable to tolerate, raised his arm, ready to unleash magic power to properly teach this reckless young man a lesson.
