Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

”Absolutely not!”

The scorpion and the lion both cried out in alarm, glaring angrily. ”White Fox, what are you doing? How could we let you get dragged into this?”

Ye Chen was a little surprised to hear this.

He had only asked casually, not expecting the Snow Jade White Fox to have such a deep bond with these two Great Demons that she was willing to take the punishment for them.

”If you insist on taking their punishment, then this transformation method will be off the table.”

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then said with a faint smile.

He had said before that as long as the Snow Jade White Fox was obedient, he could bestow a transformation method upon her to help her take human form.

Of course, this was not a difficult task for Ye Chen.

After receiving the inheritance of the Demon God Creation Skill, Ye Chen’s mind contained a veritable treasury of techniques, his understanding of the Dao profound and innate.

As for a so-called transformation method, he could casually pick a suitable one for the Snow Jade White Fox.

The scorpion and the lion likely had origins no less impressive than the Snow Jade White Fox’s, yet they had already successfully transformed. In Ye Chen’s eyes, the Snow Jade White Fox must have long been envious.

That was why he had deliberately said this, wanting to see how she would respond.

However, before the Snow Jade White Fox could answer, the scorpion and the lion cried out in shock.

”Senior, you… you actually have a transformation method to give to the White Fox?”

The two Great Demons glanced at each other. The next moment, they dropped to one knee in unison and pleaded with Ye Chen, ”Senior, if you agree to help the White Fox transform, we will be at your command without a single complaint!”

”You two…” The Snow Jade White Fox gritted her teeth, her body trembling.

”Oh?”

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

The scorpion and the lion’s faces were filled with sincere earnestness; it didn’t look like an act at all.

”Why are you so concerned about the White Fox’s transformation?” Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask.

”To be honest with you, Senior, the White Fox once came across two opportunities for transformation by a stroke of luck.”

The lion said in a clear voice, ”But she didn’t take either of them. Instead, she gave those two opportunities to us.”

The scorpion, a youth in black armor, nodded repeatedly beside him.

”So that’s how it is…” Ye Chen finally understood.

’So the reason these two Great Demons, with origins just as impressive as the Snow Jade White Fox’s, were able to transform was because they had her help?’

”To give away even the opportunity to transform… you truly surprise me.”

Ye Chen looked at the Snow Jade White Fox and said with emotion.

”They’re the only friends I’ve made since I started wandering here. They’ve helped me a lot in the past. I was just repaying a favor,” the Snow Jade White Fox said in a small voice.

Ye Chen nodded. ”I understand the bond between the three of you now.”

”But if you want me to help you transform, it won’t be as simple as just saying a few words.”

”Let me see how you perform first.”

There was no bond between him and the Snow Jade White Fox. She had only just become his mount a short while ago; it wasn’t enough for him to so easily hand over a transformation method.

”As for you two…”

Ye Chen looked at the scorpion and the lion, considering how to deal with them.

But then the lion’s expression turned hesitant. As if he had made a momentous decision, he said loudly, ”Senior, if you truly have a transformation method, I…”

”I can exchange a Top Grade Spirit Medicine with you for this method.”

”Furthermore, you can do whatever you wish with my true form. I will have no complaints!”

”Lion, you…” The scorpion’s eyes widened as he stared fixedly at the lion.

”Scorpion Boss, you don’t need to say anything else!” The lion shook his head, his expression firm and resolute. ”I’ve already made up my mind!”

”You need to think this through! That’s the Master’s property!”

”If you give that Spirit Medicine to an outsider and the Master finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

The scorpion said in a low voice, a deep fear lacing his tone.

”This stays between you and me. No one else will find out!”

The lion said resolutely, ”Besides, you’ve been unhappy with the Master’s oppression for a long time too, haven’t you?”

Hearing this, the scorpion fell silent.

”He did those things to us back then, and now he treats us like slaves, making us guard those two Spirit Medicines day and night. By what right?”

The lion gritted his teeth, his eyes, which were filled with fiery light, glinting with an intense, boundless hatred. ”If I had the power, I’d tear the Master limb from limb and make sure he could never be reincarnated!”

”But if the Master comes back one day and sees the Spirit Medicine is gone, how will you explain it to him?”

the scorpion suddenly asked.

”With this Senior’s level of cultivation, if he wanted to forcibly take the Spirit Medicine, how could we possibly stop him?”

”We’ll just report the truth,” the lion said, glancing at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen understood the lion’s meaning.

It was nothing more than a plan to pretend Ye Chen had discovered the Spirit Medicine’s location. The lion, being powerless to stop him, could only let Ye Chen take it away.

This way, it would be difficult for their master to blame them.

After all, it wasn’t that they failed to guard the Spirit Medicine properly, but that a powerful intruder had appeared. With their master absent, their own strength was simply not enough to stop him!

”HUU…” The scorpion let out a long breath and said helplessly, ”I suppose that’s the only way.”

”If you really want to get away from this ’master’ of yours, why not just leave?”

”Your master isn’t here, so he can’t easily stop you, can he?”

Ye Chen stroked his chin and couldn’t help but ask.

The Snow Jade White Fox beside him answered Ye Chen’s question. ”We have another companion who is severely injured and is recuperating by our master’s side.”

”He says the companion is recuperating, but in reality, the Master is just keeping them captive to prevent us from escaping.”

Ye Chen nodded. ”Is that why you hate your master so much?”

”No.” The lion shook his head, gritting his teeth. ”The Master slaughtered our clans! We have a life-and-death feud with him!”

”Slaughtered your clans?” Ye Chen looked at the lion in surprise.

”More accurately, he slaughtered their clans, not mine.”

”But I’m their companion. If they truly want to get revenge on the Master, and if I had the ability, I would choose to help them too,” the Snow Jade White Fox said seriously.

”That’s enough, White Fox! You’ve already helped us more than enough!”

The lion shook his head, clearly unwilling to drag the White Fox into this matter.

He then turned to Ye Chen and said, ”Senior, please come with me. I’ll take you to get the Spirit Medicine now.”

The scorpion beside him opened his mouth, but in the end, said nothing.

”Alright, let’s go then.”

”If that Spirit Medicine satisfies me, I can bestow the transformation method on this white fox right now.”

Ye Chen smiled.

”What are you spacing out for?” Ye Chen glanced at the Snow Jade White Fox beside him and gave a casual command.
