If Er Ming hadn't been focused on Da Ming at this moment, he would have definitely seen Xiao Wu's tragic state.
Looking at Xiao Wu, who was now at a loss, Xiao Yu prepared to sweeten the deal while continuing to press her down:
"I can indeed save Da Ming, but what can you, a little rabbit with nothing to offer, give me?! I've brought you up, provided you with a safe environment.
I've treated you sincerely, but how have you treated me? It seems like you've never truly intended to submit to me, have you? Haven't you always been thinking about how to return to your beloved Brother San's side?
Since we're just using each other, why should I bother saving a Sky Azure Bull Python that's already on the verge of death? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just take his soul ring?"
Xiao Yu crouched down, wrapping his arms around Xiao Wu's trembling body.
Then, he whispered in her ear:
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's face instantly turned pale and powerless.
Yes, what could she offer Xiao Yu?!
She had nothing to give him.
Why should he help her save someone?
Why should he waste precious immortal herbs for her sake?
Seeing Xiao Wu's powerless expression, Xiao Yu smiled faintly.
"You want me to save your brother? Fine, but it depends on whether you're willing to sincerely submit to me. If you wholeheartedly obey me, I'll agree to save your brother. After all, you should know that a living spirit beast is more valuable than a dead one..."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately knelt at Xiao Yu's feet.
She spoke respectfully:
"Master, this dance slave is willing to devote her entire body and soul to you. Please save my brother. I can have my brother join me in serving as your vanguard, fulfilling any request you make."
[Ding! Xiao Wu's Favorability Points: +5!]
[Current Favorability: Xiao Wu (14%)]
[Ding: Congratulations, host, for obtaining Xiao Wu's first-stage gift pack. Would you like to open it now?]
Lips can lie, expressions can lie, even souls can lie, but the clear favorability points don't lie. It seems that under my high-pressure tactics, this little rabbit Xiao Wu has finally begun to truly submit to me.
The favorability points, which I've been grinding for over a year, have finally broken through to double digits.
And I've even obtained the first-stage gift pack.
It seems that the high-pressure strategy is indeed effective on Xiao Wu.
This Earth Dragon Lizard also gave me an opportunity. Otherwise, it might have taken me a long time to complete the first stage of Xiao Wu's favorability.
Then, Xiao Yu patted Xiao Wu's head and casually opened the gift pack.
[Congratulations on reaching the first stage of Xiao Wu's favorability! You have obtained the first-stage gift pack!]
[Gift pack automatically opened!]
[Ding: Congratulations, host, for obtaining a 500-year increase in all soul ring ages!]
[Soul Power Level increased by one!]
[Obtained the method for imprinting a master-servant soul contract!]
[Obtained Xiao Wu's Plane Aura*5! Xiao Wu's Plane Aura reduced by 5!]
Seeing the contents of the gift pack, Xiao Yu was momentarily stunned.
Unexpectedly, besides the usual rewards, this time there was an additional method for imprinting a master-servant soul contract.
After understanding it, Xiao Yu realized that once the servant imprint is applied, the target will unconsciously begin to self-seduce while increasing favorability points.
Moreover, they will immediately agree to any of my commands and do their utmost to fulfill them!
This would be extremely useful for someone as difficult to conquer as Xiao Wu.
"Alright, since you're being so obedient, this immortal herb can heal Da Ming's injuries. Take it to him! Just eat the whole thing!"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu's face lit up with joy as she looked at Xiao Yu.
However, as she reached out to take the herb, Xiao Wu caught a glimpse of Xiao Yu's eyes. Seeing his gaze, which was like a god looking down at an ant, Xiao Wu instinctively trembled.
For some reason, after seeing Xiao Yu's gaze, her soul began to tremble.
But now wasn't the time to dwell on that. Saving Da Ming was the priority.
Xiao Wu quickly took the herb to Da Ming.
With Er Ming's help, she placed the herb in Da Ming's mouth.
Er Ming also brought some lake water to help Da Ming swallow the herb.
As the herb's medicinal effects spread through Da Ming's body, his pain began to ease.
Seeing Da Ming's stabilized condition, Xiao Wu and Er Ming both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Da Ming, Xiao Yu needs to absorb a soul ring. Please keep an eye on things for a while!"
"Alright, Xiao Wu. I should thank him too. This herb is even more potent than the ones we collected before. Perhaps Da Ming will recover completely soon. Xiao Wu, you've really found a good match!!"
The Titan Giant Ape spoke softly, genuinely happy for Xiao Wu.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but force a bitter smile.
Some things may seem perfect and wonderful to others, but only those who have experienced them know how terrifying and horrifying the twists and turns can be.
"By the way, Er Ming, Yi Ran needs a 15,000-year poison-attribute spirit beast. Do you know of any that pose a threat to the forest? Once Xiao Yu finishes absorbing his soul ring, we can take Yi Ran to obtain her soul ring. It's best to eliminate any spirit beasts that threaten the forest as soon as possible!"
Xiao Wu remembered the purpose of their trip and quickly spoke up.
Now that her favorability had surpassed ten, Xiao Wu had unconsciously begun to fulfill her role as a dance slave.
Hearing this, Er Ming nodded slightly.
"There are plenty, Xiao Wu. They can just pick one themselves when the time comes."
Hearing Er Ming's words, Xiao Wu nodded.
Now, all they had to do was wait for Xiao Yu to finish absorbing his soul ring and for Da Ming to fully recover after digesting the herb's effects.
Soon, as time passed, half a day went by.
Under Xiao Wu's arrangements, Dugu Yan set up a barbecue by the lake, grilling the meat of the Earth Dragon Lizard.
Although the most valuable soul ring was gone, the flesh, still rich with dragon blood, was quite good.
Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Er Ming all sat together, chatting.
Although this Earth Dragon Lizard was quite old, with Xiao Yu's Dragon General physique and the dual elements of ice and fire within him, he had no trouble absorbing the soul ring of such a large creature.
Although it took some time, he successfully absorbed it.
After absorbing the sixth soul ring, Xiao Yu slowly opened his eyes and quickly stood up, feeling the surging soul power within him.
Xiao Yu exhaled deeply.
Seeing that Xiao Yu had finished absorbing the soul ring, Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, and Xiao Wu quickly walked over.
