Xiao Xiaodong shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
Chen Xu held his chin and said, “If it works, then I’ll try it next time, too.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Good!”
……
Xu Muan walked into the cave where Xiao Jingting was resting and said, “Jingting, is it alright to leave that scorpion king there?”
Xiao Jingting stroked his chin and said unconcerned, “Don’t worry, after going hungry for some time, it will learn its lesson. You don’t have to take it too seriously. All the animals on earth are like this.”
Xu Muan said with a complicated expression, “But this is not Earth!”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Yes! But many things are still connected.”
Xiao Jingting was also uncertain if it would work. After all, no one on earth could live without eating. But here, as long as their cultivation reached Foundation Building, they could basically stop eating. That Scorpion King had been at the peak of Foundation Building, so it would be normal that he could resist hunger. But currently, he could only see food without eating it, so it should not be as much as physical but mental torture. He hoped it would have some use.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jingting and said, “I hope so.”
Xiao Jingting stroked his chin and said, “I think this method has the least risk. If it won’t work out, I can also try other methods.”
Xu Muan nodded and said, “That’s right. When that scorpion first came, it was noisy all day long but, now it seems to become much more peaceful.”
“Don’t mention that scorpion anymore. Look at this, my weapon refining skill is not as good as Xiaofan’s, so I could barely make it like this.” Xiao Jingting handed the array plate to Xu Muan and said.
Xu Muan laughed and said, “You’re studying this!”
“This is a weapon of mass destruction! It’s all thanks to it that I was able to narrowly escape death several times.” Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “It is indeed very useful, I also relied on it to escape from death several times.”
…………
Chen Xu lied beside the cage and looked with concentration at the dispirited Scorpion King.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu, a little speechless. Chen Xu spent some time every day observing the scorpion. He paid more attention to this scorpion than his own father.
“I think your father’s tactics worked. Maybe if your father tries to contract him now, this Scorpion King will agree,” Chen Xu said.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at the drooling Scorpion King and said, “No, the golden-topped red-tailed scorpions are famous existence on the Spiritual Insect List. They should not be as unpromising as Xiaofan.”
Chen Xu looked at Xiao Xiaodong and said, “Don’t talk about your brother like that! Speaking of it, although golden-topped red-tailed scorpions are fierce, their intelligence is still lacking a bit.”
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, “Well, Xiaofan’s intelligence should still be a bit better than this Scorpion King.”
Xiao Jingting walked up to the Scorpion King and used his soul force to communicate with him.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Jingting and said, “Father, what did this scorpion say?!”
Xiao Jingting blinked and said, “It said that it is willing to submit sincerely.” Scorpion King said that it would submit but every day, he had to provide it with enough fruits. He also had to give it more to him than what he gave to his subordinates and that he was much more useful than those useless subordinates.
Xiao Jingting thought: This scorpion must have felt very unpleasant to watch the little soldiers who used to work under him eat and drink every day, while it could only suffer from the lack of food. It must feel bad.
“Father, you are really powerful!” Xiao Xiaodong thought: This scorpion was spineless! Wasn’t it just a few fruits? But he lost the battle just like that. He was even worse than Xiaofan.
Xiao Jingting successfully signed a contract with the starved Scorpion King and after the contract was signed, Xiao Jingting generously took out a large pot of spirit fruits for the Scorpion King to eat. The Scorpion King swallowed the whole pot of spirit fruit and Xiao Jingting had to take out several pots of spiritual fruits again and again, asking the Scorpion King to eat. The Scorpion King did not refuse and ate eight pots full of Snow Dream Fruit.
After eating Xiao Jingting’s spiritual fruits, the Scorpion King, who was at the peak of Foundation Building and developed some spiritual wisdom, immediately had some goodwill towards Xiao Jingting.
The Scorpion King said that Xiao Jingting as his master was not bad! It used to only be able to eat such delicious fruit only once in a few months, but following Xiao Jingting, he would be able to eat as much as he wanted. Xiao Jingting couldn’t help becoming speechless at the scorpion king’s praise.
After subduing the Scorpion king, Xiao Jingting followed the scorpion king into his nest.
With the help of the Scorpion King, Xiao Jingting contracted a group of scorpion children and scorpion grandchildren. In the face of a steady stream of scorpions, Xiao Jingting secretly congratulated himself for luring the Scorpion King out. Otherwise, if this nest of scorpions swarmed out, it would have been terrible.
Xiao Jingting followed the scorpion king to the treasure house where the scorpions hid their stuff, and actually found a bunch of space rings.
Xiao Jingting originally thought that the space rings of cultivators who were poisoned outside were all taken by other cultivators but now realized that the bigger part was hidden by scorpion.
Xiao Jingting found several very old rings in it.
Xiao Xiaodong examined the rings and said, “Father, there are several rings here that seem to have come from the cultivators who came here last time.” Among the several rings, there was a ring that contained many Luoshui sect robes. The Luoshui sect was destroyed more than 200 years ago because it offended someone.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Not bad.” Xiao Jingting checked several space rings and found that the original owners of the rings were almost all poor. The richest space ring had only a hundred medium-grade spirit stones.
As soon as Xu Muan saw it, he knew what Xiao Jingting was thinking, “Be content, it’s already good to have it. Not all people have the same luck as you.”
Xiao Jingting considered it and thought: Yes, him being able to accumulate such rich wealth was credited to his jade pendant space. Other people needed to go to great lengths to find spiritual herbs when he could grow a large number of precious spirit plants and refine the pills by himself!
Although there were not many spirit stones in these space rings, there were still three or four hundred of them in total. Xiao Jingting also found a lot of talisman records, magic weapons and some strange things in them.
With this encounter, Xiao Jingting suddenly felt that it was better to rob all the demonic beasts in this secret realm, so that he might encounter another opportunity.
