Chapter 1449: Threats and Temptations

"Have you ever seen a Monster Beast that turned into a human form? So you say I've seen few but many strange things?" Ye Liuyun deliberately teased him.

The white Nine-tailed Fox glanced at Ye Liuyun, too lazy to argue, and asked directly, "We are now evenly matched; what more do you want?"

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, looked at the three people lying beside him, and said slowly, "It's not really even; at least you still have a weakness!"

Speaking, Ye Liuyun looked toward the fox den.

The white Nine-tailed Fox was clever, immediately grasping Ye Liuyun's intention, baring its teeth and leaping to the spot between Ye Liuyun and the fox den, blocking his view.

It then threatened Ye Liuyun: "Do you want a fight to the death? No one gets a good ending! Without these Monster Beasts, you won't get past the next Monster Beast's territory!"

The words sounded tough, but in fact it was already yielding to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun merely smiled, unconcerned, and said, "Monster Beasts can be recaptured. But those two cubs mean something different to you!"

"What exactly do you want?" the white Nine-tailed Fox asked, having not noticed any sign that Ye Liuyun would act, so it dared not move first.

It feared Ye Liuyun would use the Monster Beast to hold it back and then eliminate its two cubs.

"Those two cubs, one male and one female?" Ye Liuyun asked.

The white Nine-tailed Fox was startled, then immediately said, "Don't think about making a move on them. I won't let them become slaves to humans!"

"Smart!" Ye Liuyun praised.

"Are you forcing me to risk my life with you?" the white Nine-tailed Fox, seeing Ye Liuyun not deny his intent toward its cubs, was inclined to act directly.

Ye Liuyun continued, "What if I could let you transform into a monster directly?"

"What?" the white Nine-tailed Fox's aura was rising. Ye Liuyun had already seen its True Core, with True Essence mobilizing.

But hearing Ye Liuyun's words, the white Nine-tailed Fox suddenly halted.

"What do you mean?" it asked Ye Liuyun suspiciously.

"I could tell you, and you might not believe, but I can let you see with your own eyes."

Ye Liuyun spoke and summoned Lei Ming.

"Sorry to trouble you, please help change the form of the Thunder Dragon Beast!"

"Wow! Nine-tailed Fox!" Lei Ming saw the Nine-tailed Fox at first glance and shouted.

She then surveyed the scene, realized Ye Liuyun was confronting the Heavenly Sovereign Ninth Layer's white Nine-tailed Fox, and immediately, per his request, manifested the Thunder Dragon Beast's true form.

"Roar!"

Lei Ming let out a great roar toward the Nine-tailed Fox, showing off.

The white Nine-tailed Fox was also stunned.

It wasn't frightened by Lei Ming's Thunder Dragon Beast form, but amazed that Lei Ming, who is at the Earth Sovereign Seventh Layer realm, could turn into a human shape and freely revert to the true form.

"You… you can still change back?" this time the white Nine-tailed Fox asked Lei Ming.

Lei Ming was clever and immediately thought Ye Liuyun intended to use a Monster Transformation Pill to make a pact with the Nine-tailed Fox.

So she transformed back to her true form and stood beside Ye Liuyun.

"I can shift at will; would you like me to show you a few more times?" Lei Ming asked with a smile.

The Nine-tailed Fox remained silent; at this moment it truly began to believe, perhaps Ye Liuyun really possessed that ability to let it transform into a monster early.

Transforming a Monster Beast into a monster is a very perilous process, and success is not guaranteed.

If Ye Liuyun can make an Earth Sovereign Seventh Layer's Monster Beast transform, then making it transform might be easier.

As a Monster Beast, long looked down upon by humans, transforming is their innate yearning for evolution.

Ye Liuyun also pointed at Luo Yun and said, "Don't worry, you give the mother's cub to her so the two can keep each other company. I'll help her turn into human form, let her cultivate herbs and refine pills; I won't mistreat her. Her cultivation will only advance faster than you, never slower!"

The Nine-tailed Fox glanced at Luo Yun on the ground; though it didn't answer immediately, its next question showed it was truly moved.

Moreover, it saw that Ye Liuyun was quite courteous to Lei Ming, not speaking like a master commanding a slave.

"What method will you use to help me transform?" it asked Ye Liuyun directly.

Ye Liuyun produced a pill.

"Monster Transformation Pill."

"You'll stay here until I finish the transformation?" the white Nine-tailed Fox continued.

"When you transform, I'll stay by your side; does that reassure you?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

"Then how will I know if your pill is genuine? What if you're deceiving me?" the Nine-tailed Fox retorted.

"We can sign a Divine Soul Contract; I guarantee the pill's authenticity. You give me the mother's cub." Ye Liuyun replied.

The white Nine-tailed Fox looked at the pill in Ye Liuyun's hand and began to contemplate.

Forcefully snatch?

It wanted to snatch the pill from the many Monster Beasts' grasp and also ensure the two cubs wouldn't suffer Ye Liuyun's Spiritual Soul Attack; that was extremely difficult.

There was a high chance both cubs would be slain outright by Ye Liuyun's Soul attack; even if it killed Ye Liuyun, in the end it would have nothing left.

And it might not even win the fight!

After pondering, it still thought Ye Liuyun's offer was more worthwhile.

So it finally demanded, "Give me those Monster Beasts as meat, and I'll agree!"

Ye Liuyun smiled, knowing it was bargaining; even if he gave a little more, the Nine-tailed Fox would eventually agree.

But he also felt forcing someone else's daughter was excessive. Though a Monster Beast, it should have some dignity. Besides the Monster Transformation Pill, he could leave some food for the parent and offspring.

Thus Ye Liuyun said, "These Monster Beasts must continue to fight for me, so I can't give them to you. But I can set aside some food, so when you transform, the little fox won't starve!"

Ye Liuyun, while speaking, tossed the white Nine-tailed Fox a Storage Ring containing hundreds of soldiers' corpses.

Although the corpses' cultivation levels were low, as food they would suffice for both large and small for a long time.

The Nine-tailed Fox, seeing Ye Liuyun's generosity, still wanted to bargain.

Ye Liuyun directly launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on the little male fox, causing it to howl loudly.

"Stop!"

The Nine-tailed Fox shouted hurriedly.

It, although it knows Ye Liuyun is negotiating terms with it and won't truly harm its cubs, still finds the cubs' cries uncomfortable.

Ye Liuyun, seeing the situation was favorable, immediately stopped.

He actually just wanted to tell that Nine-tailed Fox, "You have no choice. Whether I give it to you or not, you must accept!"

"Can we sign the contract now?" Ye Liuyun asked.
