The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

A hint of surprise flashed across the Bilin Snake's huge eyes. It hadn't expected the human before it could actually speak its language. Its gaze darted back and forth between Hu Xingtong and Ye Nanhe, seemingly assessing their strength.

"I'm not in good condition, but I'm not a fool. Will I help you just because you ask me to? I must be thinking of something about me. I'm definitely not that kind." The Green Scaled Snake sneered, showing such disdain that even Ye Nanhe, who was standing nearby and couldn't understand the monster's language, could feel it.

The corner of Hu Xingtong's mouth twitched. It turned out that monsters were all stupid. She had other purposes, but did she have no face if you said it directly?

Hu Xingtong put on a professional fake smile. Knowing sincerity was the ultimate weapon, she chose to speak the truth. "Of course I have a plan. If you hadn't been interrupted and injured while transforming into a dragon, your strength wouldn't be what it is now. I'm taking advantage of your misfortune, but I'm also offering my best help. I'd like to trade with you, or perhaps even collaborate with you."

"Tell me, what can you do to help me?" The Bilin Snake was obviously in thought, and its low voice carried a hint of unquestionability, but also a hint of temptation.

Hu Xingtong smiled faintly, knowing her opportunity had arrived. "As I said, you're injured. I can help you recover to your full potential and transform smoothly into a dragon without having to endure the thunder tribulation. But I need you to sign a contract of equality with me. Don't worry, I won't take advantage of your misfortune and ask you to become a spirit pet. I just want to try to make friends with you, because I have a junior sister who likes snakes."

The Bilin Snake was silent for a moment, its gaze a bit complicated. She felt comfortable with the first part of Hu Xingtong's words, believing them to be sincere, but the latter part was inexplicably irritating.

Although transforming into a dragon is its lifelong pursuit, it is still a difficult choice for it to become a playmate for human entertainment.

"I need to think about it." The Bilin Snake said slowly, its eyes fell on Hu Xingtong, as if looking for something.

Hu Xingtong nodded. She knew that the Bilin Snake needed time to think. She and Ye Nanhe stepped aside and waited quietly for the Bilin Snake's decision.

As time ticked by, the Jade Scaled Snake's gaze grew increasingly resolute. It knew that the opportunity to transform into a dragon was rare; if it missed it, it might never break through. Furthermore, given its current state, it was possible for the two humans to capture it alive.

"Okay, I agree." The voice of the Bilin Snake echoed in the empty underground space with a hint of determination.

Hu Xingtong and Ye Nanhe smiled at each other. No matter what, with a demon beast with the strength of the late Nascent Soul stage around, the safety of the two would be relatively guaranteed.

Given that the Bilin Snake is in poor condition now, Hu Xingtong is not in a hurry to sign an equal contract with him. Another important factor is that she doesn't know how!

"Xiao Wuzi, you really don't know how to make a low-level equal contract?"

"It's not that I can't, it's that you can't. The establishment of an equal contract requires an equal state. If the power is unequal, then emotions can make up for it. The key is that you two don't have any emotions. Do you think those storybooks and TV dramas you read are right? Definitely not!" Chen Wu was speechless at this moment, but he knew something about Hu Xingtong's thoughts and immediately transmitted the method of signing an equal contract into her sea of ​​consciousness.

[Here, I pass it on to you. I don't know what the equal contract in this world is like, but I'm giving you the best I've found.] Chen Wu's voice rang out again, and then a warm current flowed into Hu Xingtong's sea of ​​consciousness.

Hu Xingtong closed her eyes, carefully taking in this information. As Chen Wu had said, the signing of this equal contract required mutual trust and equal power between both parties, or else the higher-ranked party could initiate the contract. If she wanted to guarantee her own safety through the contract, she would have to contact Nan Ling. The Myriad Beasts Sect should have a suitable contract method.

However, to be on the safe side, if Ye Nanhe still needed to communicate with the Bilin Snake when he was not around, Hu Xingtong faced Ye Nanhe, pointed at her forehead, and passed the communication mantra to her.

Hu Xingtong found an opportunity and took advantage of the Bilin Snake not noticing him to pass the jade slip to Nan Ling. Then he turned to look at the Bilin Snake and asked, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Hu Xingtong and she is my sister, Ye Nanhe. What's your name?"

Hu Xingtong chose to be direct with the mindless monster, and the monster just happened to fall for her trick and replied, "What's a name? I've lived here alone since I was born, without any friends or family..."

Ah, this... Hu Xingtong and Ye Nanhe looked at each other. They originally thought they were being fooled, but now they realized that they had fooled a young monster, well, a young monster with a young mind.

"How long have you lived here?" Ye Nanhe asked.

"It's been a long, long time. This place used to be a flat land, and other beasts didn't come here. Later, it was submerged in the sea, and many monsters came around, but none of them could beat me." At the end, the Green Scaled Snake felt a little proud, and the slightly narrowed vertical pupils made him look a little cute.

"Xingtong, what do you think?" Ye Nanhe looked at Hu Xingtong, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes that Hu Xingtong could not understand.

"Then let's give you a name. A name is how we address others. For example, you can call me Xingxing or Xingtong. Once you have a name, we can call you by it, and you will know that it is you." Hu Xingtong bravely took a few steps closer to the Bilin Snake, raised his head and looked at the huge creature. The fear in his heart was inadvertently dispelled a little.

"Okay, tell me." The Bilin Snake lowered its head and looked at Hu Xingtong, its huge head staring straight into Hu Xingtong's eyes, and a hint of anticipation could be seen in its blue vertical pupils.

"Sister Ye, what do you think is a good name?" Hu Xingtong turned to look at Ye Nanhe and asked.

"Hmm... I found it by the Lingquan, and it looks quite strange from the first glance," Ye Nanhe pondered, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. "How about giving it the surname Ling? Lingxian, how about that?"

Lingxian...what a strange name. Hu Xingtong really felt that Ye Nanhe was a bit bad at naming.

"What do you think?" He couldn't say anything to criticize Ye Nanhe, so Hu Xingtong threw the question to the Bilin Snake and let it choose for itself.

"Can you call me in your language? I think I can understand your language, but since I've never been exposed to it, I don't know..."

After the Green Scaled Snake finished speaking, Hu Xingtong was a little surprised. Indeed, in some novels, monsters could transform or speak human language after reaching a certain level. Like the monsters he had encountered before, some could speak. So this Green Scaled Snake was like a newborn baby among humans, who needed to be taught to speak. In that case, he could be considered to have picked up a treasure. Thinking of this, he didn't want to give the Green Scaled Snake to Tan Yuruo.

"Spiritual manifestation." After teaching it again in normal words, the Bilin Snake seemed to really understand and nodded in a very human way, "I understand. That's it."

The name was decided, which meant the agreed healing. The Green Scaled Snake was seriously injured, and the wound was very deep. Ordinary healing medicines and even spiritual springs could not help it recover. No wonder Ling Xian was still so weak at the critical period of transforming into a dragon.
