Chapter 78: Taming the War Chicken

  Jīn Líng war chicken was asked a series of questions by Li Xiǎo, and was left stunned for quite a while before regaining composure. After some deliberation, it said: "I want to be the overlord of the sky! I want to be the strongest Jīn Líng war chicken, and... I want all the mother war chickens! Hmph! I'm a chicken with aspirations!"

  "Excuse me... how did you manage to do all this?"

  Li Xie asked one question and left Jin Ling Zhan Ji speechless.

  How to achieve it?

  How would Golden Feathered War Chicken respond? If it could be done, perhaps things wouldn't have ended up like this today.

  Li Xie sneered: "This isn't called pursuit, it's called foolish fantasy and daydreaming!"

  The Golden Rooster was said to be so embarrassed that his face turned red with rage. He retorted, "Well, what is pursuit then?"

  "Hmph, pursuit is a dream that can be achieved through hard work. The premise is that it can be done, the difference lies in how much effort is put in." Li Xie glanced at Jin Feng War Chicken: "You're still the master of the sky? The strongest war chicken? And you want a hen? Tsk tsk..."

  "What!" Jin Ling, the war chicken, said angrily: "As long as I advance to the divine level, can't I do it? This is clearly pursuit!"

  "Hahaha......" Li Xie burst out laughing, his Golden Feathered War Chicken's eyes widening in shock: "You can do it? How hard is it for a magical beast to advance on its own?"

  All demons, like the cultists, advance through divine light. In theory, as long as one's faith is sincere enough, they can summon divine light. When they reach the level of advancement and receive the divine light, they can advance. However, this is only in theory. In reality, demons do have faith, but no matter how devout they are, they find it difficult to summon the divine light. Therefore, almost all demons are born at a certain rank and rarely have the ability to advance on their own.

  No one on the continent of gods could have imagined why, but Li Xie looked at the records in the demon beast notes and immediately thought of the problem: humans are more adept at flattering gods than demons.

  The gods, though divine, do not lack human nature and enjoy offerings and worship, as well as sweet words. Demons, apart from knowing to mutter a few phrases of "XX God is above" in their hearts, what else do they know? And this phrase "XX God is above", humans can hang it on the edge of their mouths! Moreover, humans also understand how to offer sacrifices and establish a profession dedicated to worshiping gods. In this way, if the divine light of the gods does not descend upon human heads, will it then descend upon demon heads?

  So, for monsters to upgrade, there is almost only one way - ask human sacrifices for help.

  As for the difficulty of promotion, Jinling War Chicken was speechless again, and was so annoyed that his eyes turned red.

  Li Xie smiled slyly: "To put it bluntly, what is lacking in your pursuit? Strength! And to gain strength, what can you do? Why not think about becoming Jack's demonic pet? Although you need to help him with things and help me with things, we will also help you upgrade! You are a born eighth-tier demon beast, and demon beasts can be upgraded five levels. One day, you may become a twelfth-tier divine chicken! Think about it, think carefully, at that time, you can do whatever you want, this is true freedom!"

  Jīn Líng's eyes were dazed and confused, as if he was about to fall into a trance. After a long while, he finally said: "However..."

  "Dignity, huh." Li Xie sneered even more: "What is dignity? When one becomes a demon's familiar, do they lose their dignity? Do you know how our human nobles treat my slaves when they walk on the streets?"

  "What?"

  "The nobles will stop and bow to my slaves, saying 'Your Excellency'! Do you know what that is? That's dignity!" Li Xie sneered: "Besides, if you see the Dragon Emperor flying in the sky from afar, how would you react? You don't need to say it, I know. You'll hide aside and watch the Dragon Emperor with a gaze of reverence and admiration. No need to mention the Dragon Emperor, even the Nine-Stage Bloodthirsty War Eagle, you're probably not even able to dodge in time. At that moment, what dignity do you have?"

  The Golden Rooster has fallen silent once again.

  Li Xie's tone softened a bit, and he said lightly: "Dignity is not something you can have just because you want it! Why do nobles have to bow to slaves who are scolded and ordered around? Because they are my slaves, Li Xie! Why can the Dragon Emperor and the War Eagle let you hide? Because they are the strong ones in the sky! Dignity requires power and strength! You're now a human's familiar spirit, Jack's familiar spirit, won't other Golden Feathered War Chickens look down on you? Of course, they will. Won't you not get the favor of the mother hens? Definitely! But what if tomorrow you advance to become a 9th rank Golden Feathered War Chicken? Or a 10th rank Golden Feathered War Chicken? Hehe, when you stand in front of other Golden Feathered War Chickens, will they look down on you? They'll be envious, they'll worship you, just like how you admire the Dragon Emperor! And that Bloodthirsty War Eagle, it's definitely going to run away from you. And those mother hens, tsk tsk, if you say you're tired, a whole bunch of them will fight to warm your bed. This is what dignity is! Tsk tsk... think about it carefully, think about it..."

  The golden pheasant's eyes were filled with longing, its gaze sparkling as it gazed at the rooster. Li Ye's right corner of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a small white canine tooth that shone brightly in the sunlight.

  For a moment, Jinling War Chicken said seriously: "I don't want to be your demonic pet under your control, I want to be your demonic pet, and you have the qualification to be my master!"

  Wow! Damn chicken, Master Meng is on top! The chicken was also very wise!

  The words made Li Xie feel comfortable, but this guy smiled wryly and said: "Jack is my subordinate, and the people here are also my subordinates! But they are only nominal subordinates. I share honor and disgrace with them, without distinction! Besides, look at my magical aura, can I be your master?"

  Jīn Líng felt the magical aura fluctuations on Li Xiǎo's body, and couldn't help but exclaim: "No magical aura fluctuations! You're a waste without any magical aura!"

  As it spoke, it turned its chicken head to look at the meowing cat beside it: "You're actually following a useless person! What kind of ninth-tier magical beast are you? Do you still have any dignity?"

  Huh!

  This remark caused Miao Miao, who was drinking wine, to stop in his tracks and glance at Jin Feng War Chicken. He quickly downed the rest of his wine, picked up the empty bottle, and sauntered over to Jin Feng War Chicken with a cat-like gait. Under the astonished gaze of the onlookers, Miao Miao suddenly leapt high into the air and smashed the empty bottle onto Jin Feng War Chicken's forehead.

  "Cheers!"

  The bottle shattered all over the floor!

  Everyone present couldn't help but gasp: What a violent cat!

  The little kitten landed on the ground and crouched in front of the Golden Feathered War Chicken, its tiny body, which was dozens of times smaller than the war chicken's, gave people an exceptionally majestic feeling. Seeing her stretch out a paw, she scolded in a stern tone: "Meow! Meow!"

  Li Xie's mouth twitched, fearing that the little cat would cause trouble, but it was not good to take the little cat away. If he lost face in front of the little cat, she would bite off all his fingers when she turned around. He hastily said, "Ze En, simultaneous translation."

  "She says, take a closer look! Is this young lady the follower of that little boy? Can't even see the situation clearly, stupid chicken! Let me tell you, I am the boss here!"

  The Golden Feathered War Chicken was smashed on the head, but this degree of injury didn't even hurt, it just made it extremely angry. However, its opponent was a 9th rank magical beast, and with itself being alone and outnumbered, most importantly, the Golden Feathered War Chicken understood what an ominous beast was! For a moment, it didn't dare to make a move, only angrily saying: "What kind of big shot are you? A young ominous beast, relying solely on combat strength, you're not even as strong as me, humph!"

  Meow! Meow meow......

  Zayn's face sank, his mouth twitched, and he said, "Don't translate that sentence..."

  "Say..."

  "She said: This girl doesn't need to rely on combat power to easily take care of you! Do you want to try? That black-clothed kid over there, do you know what he is? Hmph! In any case, his strength is at least that of an 11th-rank Sword Saint. However, he's this girl's most loyal little brother, and if I tell him to stand on his head, he won't dare walk on his feet. Don't believe me? I'll call him over and have him do a one-fingered Zen!"

  Li Xie sympathetically looked at Zeennard: Brother, I really can't help you with this one. Who told you to be a giant dragon and try to outdrink a cat?

  Zain's resentful eyes met Li Xie's: Big brother, do you think I wanted to?! How was I supposed to know that this cat can drink so much?!

  The golden-feathered fighting cock looked at the little cat with a suspicious gaze: "Hmph, you say I'll believe? If you're the boss here, fine. Tell that black-clothed kid to stand on his head! No, make him touch his forehead to the ground!"

  "Son of a turtle! You think I'm a circus performer!" Zayn Nadir cursed, and slapped a palm heavily on the forehead of Golden Wing War Chicken. His hand was not as fragile as a wine bottle, this slap almost made Golden Wing War Chicken's chin hit the ground, its beak nearly shattered!

  Li Xie shook his head, suddenly realizing that this golden-plumed fighting cock was actually a good match for the still-missing Kano - both were one-track-minded! Saying such things in front of Zeinard, wasn't he just asking to be beaten up?

  The golden-feathered fighting cock was fanned into a daze, and after coming to its senses, it didn't dare make a move, but instead fixed its chicken eyes fiercely on Zaynnaad. Zaynnaad raised an eyebrow: "What? Not convinced? Wait until you're a sacred beast before coming to find me for trouble. Now, you just listen obediently!"

  "Meow!"

  "Listen to me, kitty sister."

  "Alright, alright." Li Xie stood up and said to the old man: "I've told you before, whether or not to become a demon pet is for you to consider. Tomorrow you'll be able to move freely, if you don't want to become Jack's demon pet, we won't stop you, you can leave at any time. Everyone disperse, it's time for us to go eat."

  Li Xie stood up, waved his hand and led the crowd away. At this moment, he had a sly smile on his face, but he wasn't worried that the Golden Feathered War Chicken would run away.

  Under coercion and temptation, it's probably too late to chase it away. Just let it make up its mind. Conservatively estimated, within a day, this chicken will have to beg Li Xie to let it become a demonic pet.

  As expected, the next day, Jin Ling's war chicken found Li Xie and agreed to be Jack's demon pet, but also set a lot of conditions. However, Li Xie flatly refused!

  Just one sentence, everyone is on the same page, and everything goes well. If conditions are proposed, then please let it go. Jin Feng War Chicken couldn't argue with Li Xie, so he compromised and became Jack's demonic pet, signing an ally contract. Jack helped him upgrade, while Jin Feng War Chicken listened to Jack's orders. Additional condition: Listen to Li Xie and Miao Miao's commands.

  Jinling War Chicken successfully signed the contract, with Meow's credit. There was a sad experience of Jinling War Chicken during this period, which will not be made public for now, and there is still a long way to go.

  Kano was also found later, this guy was tied up somewhere, his buttocks hadn't been wiped after diarrhea, and he hung there for a whole day. It is said that when Kano returned, he locked himself in and refused to see anyone.

  Chrysanthemum City's affairs slowly stabilized, Li Xie decided to go to Manny City for a trip, to see if he could buy some magical beasts. Before leaving, he called Jack into the room.
