The giant thing under the water stared at the three people on the shore, and the atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
At this moment, Su Xing walked forward slowly, walked to the shore unprepared, and looked at the giant catfish lurking under the water calmly.
Lin Xixi was worried and wanted to pull Su Xing's sleeve, but Su Xing turned around and gave her a reassuring look.
One person and one fish looked at each other for a while. Perhaps Su Xing was too calm, or maybe the catfish demon remembered that he still had the Demon Suppressing Seal of the Dayu Demon Suppressing Division on his neck.
A few bubbles popped up under the water, and the huge catfish swung its tail and turned in a circle in the blue-black water.
Then, Lin Xixi discovered that the catfish had shrunk a lot. Although it was still three or four meters long, it looked much more harmless than before.
The shrunken catfish swung its tail in the water, opened and closed its mouth, and spit out bubbles. A familiar voice sounded in the ears of the two people on the shore:
"Sir, the little demon has shown its true form. If you want the little demon to do anything else, just tell him."
The words were spoken happily, but Lin Xixi actually saw a forced smile on Catfish's face.
Sure enough, I heard the catfish demon add underwater:
"As long as adults don't eat little demons, it's fine."
"I rarely eat fish." Su Xing said lightly. “But it’s nice to switch up the flavors once in a while.”
Looking at the catfish that first relaxed and then became nervous underwater, Lin Xixi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. Unexpectedly, Brother Su also has a side that likes to tease people.
"Don't talk nonsense." Su Xing paid no attention to the catfish demon's ups and downs, "What do you want most right now?"
The catfish demon was spitting bubbles in the water, and its two bulging eyes rolled around: "I want to serve you most all the time!"
Su Xing ignored the catfish demon's misunderstanding and went straight to the point:
"What you want most now is freedom. Before that, what you wanted most was dragon seed. Now, I will give you both of these things."
Seeing the catfish demon vomiting blisters under the water, I didn't believe it at all. Su Xing turned around and took the fish basket from Lin Xixi's hand. He was still thinking that he might need to explain a few words to the little girl.
But Su Xing found that Lin Xixi didn't hesitate at all, even though he might have wanted to give the dragon seed to this monster.
It seems that what happened in Heqing County last time made Lin Xixi rely more and more on herself.
Feeling this pure trust, Su Xing didn't say much. Grab the red carp's tail and lift the fish in the basket.
And then...plop!
Throw it into the water.
The catfish demon was stunned, and even the long whiskers that kept swinging stopped at this moment. He couldn't help but wonder whether the monk in front of him was a saint who ignored past grudges?
In the air, thin strands of rain began to float, faintly outlining a slim figure, and the anger building up on his face could be vaguely seen.
Before Long Nu could speak, Su Xing continued the previous topic:
"Both of these things are given to you for the time being, and your freedom will depend on you."
The word "temporarily" brought the catfish demon back from his fantasy, but he was still in high spirits. Since Su Xing gave him the dragon seed, it represented his sincerity.
He is a "big demon"! Who really wants to be trapped by the demon-suppressing seal all his life, with life and death in the hands of others, and become a demon slave with no status!
"I want to take the dragon species to Pinhu Lake." Su Xing first made the purpose of this trip clear.
After hearing these words, the raindrops in the air gradually faded away, and the faint figure of the dragon girl also disappeared, and the sky became clear and clear.
In the lake, two fish, one large and one small, floated slightly in the water, listening carefully to every word Su Xing said on the shore.
"Although the Chang An Sect has faded away temporarily, it will definitely not give up. The young eunuch Tiansi has not left yet, so the other party does not dare to enter Heqing County. However, the eyes and ears of the Chang An Sect are likely to exist in the neighboring counties.
And a few of us...are particularly conspicuous. "
The catfish demon looked at the two people on the shore, then glanced at the red carp that was also floating on the water, and nodded in agreement.
"So, we act separately. You take the dragon species and dive into the water, while the two of us take the land route. We will meet in Tuchang County, a hundred miles away."
The big catfish in the water rolled its eyes a few times and replied without hesitation:
"Little demon, please obey your orders!"
The red carp next to him swung his tail and moved a few meters to the side, looking disgusted.
Su Xing naturally knew what the catfish demon was paying attention to. His eyes were slightly cold and he said:
"The induction of the demon-suppressing seal will weaken with distance. If the distance between you and me is more than ten miles, or when the induction drops to a weak level, I will not hesitate to control the demon-suppressing seal to self-destruct.
If you want to escape with the dragon species, you can try to see if you can escape the demon-suppressing mark branded by a young prisoner himself. "
Although he was clearly in the water, the long whiskers of the big catfish were dancing, and he actually seemed to be wiping away his sweat. No longer as excited as before, he thought for a few breaths and gritted his teeth and said:
"How dare you run away, little demon? I am willing to go to the sword or the sea of fire for you!"
After several days of observation, Su Xing also saw that this catfish spirit seemed to be arrogant, but in fact he was very greedy for life and afraid of death. Nodding and saying:
"When this matter is over, I will unlock the demon-suppressing seal and let you go free."
"Really?!" Catfish Spirit suddenly became happy again.
Su Xing glanced at him, and the big catfish immediately shrank his head humanely.
I originally wanted to say something like making a Taoist oath, but I didn't dare to mention it again. However, in his heart, he still tended to believe in Su Xing.
After all, the other party was a disciple of the Purple Jade Sect, and even the young eunuch who planted the demon-suppressing seal on him had to be treated politely.
Raindrops floated faintly in the air again, and the figure of the dragon girl appeared again, vaguely:
"I don't agree. How can he protect me?"
Su Xing said coldly:
"You first need to understand that it is you who is asking for something from us. Besides, I am not restricting your freedom."
The figure in the air was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to argue something, but in the end he said nothing. The previous arrogant aura disappeared for a while, and the somewhat lonely feeling disappeared into the residual wind and showers, leaving only the red carp that kept spitting bubbles in the water.
Su Xing withdrew his gaze. After the rain disappeared, the dragon looked like an ordinary carp. Without feeling the evil spirit, it is difficult for a monk to pursue it.
He had asked Taoist Catfish before, and he also said that it was because of the spiritual rain he evoked that he could feel the breath of the dragon species.
However, he was not sure whether Chang Anjiao had any special tracking methods, so he handed over the dragon species to Taoist Catfish to protect the way. In fact, it was because a gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall.
It was important to agree to Lin Xixi's request, but it was unclear whether the dragon's words were true. Secondly, Chang Anjiao's pursuit and the ambiguous attitude of Pinjiang Dragon Temple made the matter more complicated, full of danger and not simple.
His safety and that of those around him will always come first.
"Since you all have no objections, let's go our separate ways and meet up at Changzhen Town. Then I will follow the induction of the Demon Suppressing Seal to find you.
Remember...never risk your life. "
The big catfish in the water shrank its neck. This sentence seemed to remind him to pay attention to his safety, but it always seemed to threaten him. After thinking for a while, he replied:
"Follow your orders."
