Chapter 59: Become Partners

“Who knew that Yan’er would have such a fortuitous encounter.” Lou Mo Yu lowered the jade slip from his forehead and held it in his palm as he smiled and continued to say: “No wonder the Divine Seer would foretell that you would be reborn after experiencing a life-or-death calamity, obtain a great opportunity, and even embark on the path of the strong because of it.”

“Not only that, from this incident, Yan’er not only gained a lot herself, but even the Lou Clan benefited by association.
The Lou Clan’s combat power will rise to an even higher level.” Lou Zhan Tian added.

“I’m going to study the sword skill now.” After reading the contents of the jade slip, Lou Mu Ting stood up with a look of comprehension, then hurriedly left the hall, returning to his room to cultivate.

Lou Zhan Tian and the others’ eyes also revealed a dash of eagerness.
The people of the Lou Clan were diligent in cultivating with extraordinary talents.
After seeing such a sword skill in front of them, if they didn’t immediately go study it, they’d feel restless.

Lou Mu Yan smiled, then took out some more jade slips she had prepared and handed them to Lou Zhan Tian, “Grandpa, take these Earth Rank manuals and see who in the Lou Clan are suitable to raise, then give it to them.”

The excitement and joy on Lou Zhan Tian’s face couldn’t be supressed.
He took the jade slips, read them all, then laughed aloud a few times: “Good!”

It was also time for the Lou Clan to train a group of high-level Sword Masters as their trump cards in battle.

“Grandpa, father, eldest brother, you guys can go to your rooms to study it now.” Lou Mu Yan saw how the usually calm and composed three were unable to sit still, so she said with a smile.

In her hands, those Sky Rank sword skills weren’t considered high-level at all.
She even had Saint Rank and Deity Rank ones, except cultivation should be gradual and orderly.
With the cultivation base of the four people, more advanced swords skills or manuals weren’t appropriate.

“Alright!” The three nodded in unison.

Lou Mu Yan stared at the backs of the three that were leaving and her eyes were dyed with warmth.
She would definitely make the Lou Clan stronger and stronger.
She must protect the family she cherished.

After returning to her room, she saw that the little white beast was on her bed absorbing the Spiritual Force of Heaven and earth and refining it.
Slight surprise crossed her eyes.

Such an absorption speed was even faster than her by a lot.
This Spirit Devourer that titled himself as ‘This King’ was indeed from an extraordinary origin.

She walked to the table opposite the bed and sat down, took out the Spiritual Tea she received from Shopkeeper Lu that was in her interspatial ring and brewed a pot.

Together with Lou Mu Yan’s tea-making movements that flowed smoothly like the clouds and water, a scent of aromatic tea permeated the entire room.

The Spirit Devourer, that initially had both eyes closed, opened them, glanced at the woman who was drinking tea from her cup and telepathically said with coldness in his voice, “Let’s talk.”

The corners of Lou Mu Yan’s lips raised slightly in an arc.
She lifted her eyes and asked, “You’ve thought it through?”

“What does it matter if I have or haven’t thought it through? Did I have any other options?”

A self-deprecating voice sounded in Lou Mu Yan’s Sea of Consciousness, and even the way he referred to himself changed from ‘This King’ to ‘I’.
It seemed that he had come to understand his current unfortunate circumstances.

Lou Mu Yan nodded in approval: “You indeed had no other choice.”

“Just what do you want?”

“Can I ask you a few questions first?” Lou Mu Yan asked instead and avoided answering.

The little white beast revealed a cold look in his eyes that didn’t match his appearance.
After a moment of silence, he replied, “Ask.”

“What’s your name.”

“Mo Yan.”

“You’re from another continent?”

“Yes.”

“An upper interface? Or a continent on the same interface?”

“With your current strength, you’re not qualified to know this.”

Lou Mu Yan pursed her lips, but didn’t mind, and continued to ask: “You were once really powerful? I must’ve picked up a treasure when I took you home after winning you.”

Mo Yan glanced at Lou Mu Yan lightly and didn’t refute.
He used to dominate a portion of the Demonic Realm, so naturally he was quite powerful.
As for picking up a treasure, that was only a matter of course.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled upon seeing his look that evidently said, ‘that’s only for granted’.
Maybe this Demonic Beast wasn’t as cold and distant as she thought, “I’ve finished asking my questions.
Let’s talk about cooperation now.”

Mo Yan’s eyes were cold, but there were also some hidden emotions, “Speak.”

“I won’t think of you as a Spirit Pet that I’ll order around.
I feel that we can become partners.
At least we have the same goal, which is to keep growing stronger.” After asking those questions, she felt as if she had somewhat understood Mo Yan, and it gave birth to a feeling of connection due to their similar circumstances.

They were both once almighty people who stood above the clouds, yet now they were reduced to the weak at the lowest end of the food chain.
They both had the heart to become stronger and was unwilling to remain as they were.
That was why she had so much patience towards Mo Yan.

The calm in Mo Yan’s eyes wavered and his cold heart trembled—partner? Could he believe it again?

As he met Lou Mu Yan’s firm and sincere eyes, Mo Yan suddenly had the urge to try.
At the very least, he wouldn’t be losing anything, right?

“Alright.
I’ll cooperate with you.
But you also need to help me find some Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Items that can help me restore my strength.” As long as he had those things, he would soon be able to restore a part of his strength.

Lou Mu Yan nodded and asked: “Is it difficult for you to regain your strength?” It wasn’t easy for her to regain the strength of her previous life.
Aside from the experience, and the manuals in her Sea of Consciousness she could use, she had to do everything else from scratch.

“It wasn’t difficult to cultivate again, after all, the experience was all there.
But the Spiritual Force of this interface was relatively thin, so it’s difficult to find some Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Items, and it may waste a lot of time.” Mo Yan’s eyes were dyed with a cold pride and self-confidence.

“What we cultivators lacked most definitely wasn’t time.
For Demonic Beasts like you with a long lifespan, it only feels like the time it took to snap a finger.” Lou Mu Yan remembered how eager she was to improve in strength, and laughed in ridicule at herself, “But for us now, time’s indeed precious.”

Mo Yan found that he couldn’t understand this woman more and more.
Why did a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl give people a sense of maturity as if having gone through the numerous vicissitudes of life? The steadfast heart of the strong that she possessed also startled him, and an inexplicable sense of sympathy rose in him.

“You’re right.” Mo Yan nodded in agreement.
Precisely because he desperately wanted to restore his strength, he kept cultivating at every breath.

“What Spiritual Herbs or Spiritual Items do you need? Give me a list.” Mo Yan’s improvement in strength was also beneficial for her, so she hoped to find the things he required to restore his strength as quickly as possible.

The guardedness in Mo Yan’s eyes faded a lot.
Since he decided to cooperate, then might as well believe one more time.
He hoped that this human wouldn’t disappoint him.

He used his Demonic Sense to telepathically transmit to Lou Mu Yan the several kinds of Spiritual Herbs that he needed right now, “Although I used my secret skill to be reborn, but I still have to start over.
The current most urgent thing is to re-establish my yao’fu.
Spiritual Items weren’t required right now, but I hope you can help me find Frozen Mist Grass which I’ll use to advance the level of my yao’fu.”

Every Demonic Beast with a Demonic Sense and bore wisdom would experience the process of establishing a yao’fu.
The higher the level of the yao’fu, the better the talent in cultivation in the future, and the speed of cultivation would also be much faster.
The level of the yao’fu also determined the quality of the Demonic Core they would form in the future, so it was exceptionally important for a Demonic Beast.

“Frozen Mist Grass.” Lou Mu Yan muttered.
She took a sip of tea from her cup and agreed readily, “No problem.”

The Deep Orchid she was looking for and the Frozen Mist Grass both grew in the Glacial Mountain Range.
It just so happened she needed to find the Deep Orchid, so why wouldn’t she help with something that was just on the way.
