Chapter 79: Receiving Favor (Part 2)

  "Slap! Slap! Slap!" A dozen or so rattan whips came down one after another, whipping the ground, but Hong Hua still refused to give up.

  "Are you saying your rattan can extinguish flames?" Luo Yu asked, and indeed saw the flower bud nodding up and down.

  A sly glint flashed in her eyes, and Luo Yu burst out laughing: "Even if you're not afraid of my flames, aren't you worried that a thousand years later, your ashes will be extinguished?"

  The calyx suddenly contracts, the tendrils slowly retract, instantly becoming thinner, and coil under the calyx.

  It seems I've made a good bet, the demon flower's intelligence is extraordinary, it indeed knows about the anomaly in the secret realm.

  Luo Yu's heart was secretly delighted, and she seized the opportunity: "If you acknowledge me as your master, I will take you out of here. From then on, if you sincerely help me, I will genuinely treat you well, and when the day of ascension arrives, I will set you free! What do you think?"

  The flower stem twisted, the flower bud raised upwards, extremely arrogant, obviously looking down on Luo Yu.

  Even if I were to ride the wind and leave, I still have style, you look ordinary, your figure is clumsy and fat, how can you match my beautiful face? Most importantly, at 15 or 16 years old, your cultivation is only at the 11th layer of Qi Refining, obviously with average talent, yet you dare to boast about ascending to immortality, go ahead and dream on! Hong Hua scoffs.

  "Heh heh!" Luo Yuzei laughed, "I was thinking that since we're all going to be partners in the future, it's better if our first meeting is a bit more harmonious."

  "But!" Luo Yu slammed his staff onto the ground with a loud crack, splitting the earth. "Since you refuse my toast, I'll have you drink a penalty cup instead!"

  After finishing speaking, Luoyu raised his Golden Hoop Rod and released a brilliant light, dyeing the surrounding weeds silver.

  The golden hoop stick slowly pressed down, and the flower path trembled with fear, the petals drooped down, moved up and down a few times, apparently softened.

  Luoyu smiled slightly, put away the Golden Hoop Rod, and said to the demon flower with a triumphant tone: "Hehe, now you're being honest! Hurry up and spit out your demon crystal, and make a contract with me."

  The witch flower shook its petals vigorously, and then a yellow stamen extended from the petals.

  Luo Yu's eyebrows slightly furrowed: "You're saying you don't have a demon crystal, but can you hand over the contract flower pillar?"

  The demon flower moved up and down slightly, but Luo Yu's voice was full of doubt: "You won't deceive me, will you? Luring me to the mouth of your flower, then swallowing me in one bite. Wouldn't that be a death without closure?"

  You actually saw through it! The demon flower secretly regretted, was it because she yielded too early and raised her suspicions? However, as an ancient demon plant, it indeed didn't have a demon crystal, and the contract could only be formed on the flower column.

  Luoyu grasped the Golden Hoop Rod in her hand, ready to strike at any moment.

  The demon flower saw this, its petals lightly trembling. Between dignity and life, it made a decisive choice for the latter. It steeled itself, and with a cracking sound, the pistil broke off and flew to Luo Yu's feet. A white sap flowed from the broken end, dripping onto the ground.

  Luo Yu was taken aback, dropped the protective array disk, and enveloped himself and the demon flower. Immediately, his ten fingers flew, his lips moved slightly, and he spat out a segment of obscure and twisted incantation. Then, he cut his middle finger and applied it to the top of the flower column.

  The middle finger exerted a sucking force, and fresh blood flowed continuously into the pistil. A thread of crimson appeared on the yellow pistil.

  The contracted demonic beast or plant, the cultivation level cannot exceed its own cultivation level, otherwise it will be counterattacked. Moreover, the higher the potential of the contracted object, the more blood is needed, so Luo Yu was very happy, the more Xiangzhu absorbed, the more she earned.

  But the more blood flowed, the paler Luo Yu's face became, her eyes fixed on the demon flower as if they were about to spew fire.

  The petals of the demon flower had completely drooped, swaying precariously, and it bent down its stem to creep along the ground, looking like it was waiting to be slaughtered.

  The demon flower would have wailed loudly if it could make a sound. I, an ancient and noble being, fell into the hands of someone as ugly and ordinary as you. It's already tragic enough that I've been reduced to this state, but now that I've sucked a bit of your blood, you're filled with suspicion and murderous intent. Don't you ever think about my dignity? Do you think it's so easy to form a contract with me just by shedding a little blood?!

  The nobility of the demon flower was not visible to Luo Yu, but seeing its pitiful appearance crawling on the ground, she temporarily suppressed her suspicions and only kept her right hand tightly grasping the golden hoop rod, in case of unexpected events.

  Blood loss nearly half, the color of the pistil is bright red, fresh and dripping. At this time, the red contract pattern that has taken shape in the sea of recognition undergoes a slight change, but the purple air seed in the dantian trembles slightly, and the movement disappears immediately. The blood-colored pattern flies into the sky, and then splits into two parts, one part is branded on the pistil, and the other part flies into Luo Yu's brow heart.

  Success!

  Luoyu's face was pale, she checked the contract in her mind sea and found that she was indeed the master, while the demon flower was the servant. However, the pattern was a bit special, she twitched the corner of her mouth and didn't make a move for the time being.

  With a sudden burst, it pierced into the heart of the flower. With a rustling sound, the strange flower pulled out its thick and numerous roots, shook off the mud on top, and dragged itself to Luo Yu's side.

  If a demon plant wants to leave the land, there are only two options: either cultivate profound skills or acknowledge an animal master. The term "animal" here refers to mobile life forms, including demon beasts and humans.

  Looking at the roots that were as big as half a room, and the 2-meter diameter flower, Luo Yuxiu's delicate eyebrows furrowed: "Shrink immediately!"

  "My body is too large, I am unable to transform!" A loud and clear voice resounded within Luo Yu's sea of consciousness.

  "Speak human words, handle human affairs!" Luo Yu activated the contract, adding punishment.

  The demon flower trembled with pain, and a child's voice echoed in the sea of consciousness: "I was never human to begin with, how can I speak human language?" The punishment intensified, and the demon flower hummed twice, "Shrink then shrink!"

  A green light flashed and transformed into a small red flower, flying to Luo Yu's brow.

  Luoyu's eyebrows felt a sudden itch, she touched it and didn't feel anything unusual, but when she looked with her spiritual sense, she saw a beautiful and seductive flower dancing back and forth on her forehead, no wonder it was so itchy.

  In a flash of inspiration, Luo Yu plucked out the demon flower from between her eyebrows, took off her shoes and socks, and prepared to stuff the demon flower into the soles of her feet.

  "Don't..." The demon flower struggled with all its might, but couldn't escape Luo Yu's palm.

  "You may not stay at the bottom of your feet, but shouldn't you reveal your roots now?" Luo Yu's face was smiling, pinching the stem of the demon flower tightly.

  Although she could forcibly read the memories of the demon flower, it would be better not to do such a thing in order to get along with each other in the future. Of course, if she did this, her expression would probably be even more colorful.

  "My neck is almost strangled by you, let go quickly! You let go, I'll speak." The demon flower twisted its stem and saw Luo Yu release his hand. It immediately jumped to the ground, its roots grasping the earth, transforming into a height equal to Luo Yu's.

  Hehe, Luo Yu took out a cushion and sat down, "Speak slowly!"

  The demon flower reluctantly shrunk by half at a rapid speed.

  "I am an ancient, mystical plant, and I don't know why I appeared here. All I know is that before my mother disappeared, she used a flower stem to give birth to me, and as soon as I fell to the ground, my mother was absorbed by some unknown force, losing all her spiritual energy and vitality, turning into dust that covered me. Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, there's this memory in my mind, which must have been sealed by my mother. She reminded me that when a thousand years are about to pass, I need to give birth to my offspring in the same way, so as not to let our species become extinct."
