Chu Yang's mind flashed with a thought: Is the problem coming from this "beast"? What kind of beast could be so peculiar?
He approached, putting on a friendly and warm expression, and said in an incredibly gentle voice, "Hey, buddy, how about we go out for a stroll? Let's conquer the world together, shall we?!"
The Sword Spirit facepalmed in the Nine Calamity Space, nearly fainting.
Oh, my sword master lord, even if you speak this way to this spirit beast, it won't understand, let alone an ordinary beast! What kind of master have I followed?!
The strange creature lifted its head to glance at Chu Yang, then lazily lowered it again.
It seemed like it didn’t understand? That possibility seemed more likely—
If it could understand, that would be absurd; after all, it was just a wild beast!
Of course, there was also a slight chance of another possibility—
That it understood but simply didn’t want to: "You son of a gun, with that pathetic appearance of yours, you want me to follow you to suffer?"
In any case, no matter which possibility it was… there was a hint of disdain in it.
"Uh, I mean, would you like to become my partner? Let's be friends? I'm very sincere, isn’t my honest face enough to explain?" Chu Yang stubbornly asked, putting it all on the line.
The creature kept its head down, instead using its claws to groom its whiskers…
It was completely ignoring him.
Damn it!
Chu Yang grabbed the creature, intending to pull it up and take it away, but he was surprised to find that it was as heavy as a mountain, not budging an inch.
Damn!
Chu Yang cursed in astonishment; his hands had the strength of thousands of pounds. Although he hadn’t used all his strength just now, he could’ve lifted a hundred adult tigers without issue.
Yet now he couldn’t move this creature?
Moreover, it made a couple of grumbling sounds in its throat and rolled its eyes, clearly unhappy: What are you pulling me for when I obviously don’t want to go?…
Chu Yang was also stunned.
What the hell was going on?
I’ve paid the money, yet the contract cannot be completed; it seems I can't take it away... am I really this foolish…
The Sword Spirit was filled with suspicion: "Sword master lord, why do you insist on this useless creature? It clearly has no attacking power. Even if you bring it back, it won't help your grand plans, right…"
Chu Yang frowned and said, "My instincts tell me this creature is unusual… Moreover, its current body, although it looks large, gives a dreamlike sense of illusion... When I grabbed it just now, it felt real… This creature is definitely not simple, it certainly isn’t an ordinary beast."
The Sword Spirit sneered at this.
It really couldn’t see how this creature was special. Did its cat-like and tiger-like appearance make it rare? Looking at it, it seemed like nothing more than a meat source, or perhaps a pet for play…
Although he really wanted it, since Chu Yang couldn’t take it away, he was left with nothing but helplessness.
He sighed, "I never thought that as the mighty Nine Calamity Sword Master, a legendary figure, I would be unable to take away a tiger…" He felt a sudden sense of vastness in the universe.
The Nine Calamity Sword seemed to sense something and protested in his dantian.
Chu Yang waved his hand, summoning the Nine Calamity Sword, which transformed into a palm-sized short sword, lying flat in his palm. He smiled wryly, "You also feel uncomfortable, don’t you? At least you’re the best; you will never leave me!"
However, just at the moment Chu Yang took out the Nine Calamity Sword, the creature that resembled a cat and a tiger suddenly shook violently, as if it had sensed something unbelievable, then "whoosh," it stood up.
In the next moment, it was already right in front of Chu Yang.
Its eyes fixed on the Nine Calamity Sword without blinking, its curled tail wagging constantly, and deep within its eyes, there was a mix of emotion, excitement, and longing!
Then it lifted its head and looked at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang could clearly see that the creature’s eyes were slowly filling with tears…
