"That's because I wasn't willing and agreed to enter here!"
"You weren't!!!?"
The answer from the Aquatic Dragon made Zheng-Fu's head quite a bit goofed up. It was an infuriating answer, even though it was so simple, because, in reality, no demon beast or monster beast would agree to be merged with any weapon and armour.
"But it's not what you think!"
"Isn't that what I thought!? So, what is it like? Great Dragreeper, can you tell the foolish like me?" Zheng-Fu made a humble expression to trick the Aquatic Dragon into revealing what had happened. Every time he acted like this, the Aquatic Dragon would always answer without hiding anything at all.
"Of course, you foolish human. I, the Great Emperor Dragreeper, will let you know." He nodded his head up and down with a proud smile, then continued to speak.
"The story goes that, thousands of years ago, while I was alive, a group of despicable humans came to fight with me. At that time, they were unable to defeat me, so they used a very dirty trick. They deceived me into the traps they set."
"Then they used that trap to attack me and bind my spirit within this sword. But from that time until now, not a single person has been able to use this sword because, whoever dropped their blood to make a commitment, I would bring them all here and kill them all. Ha ha ha!!!"
The Aquatic Dragon told Zheng-Fu about what had happened to him earlier. It also made Zheng-Fu understand the reason why he was drawn into this dimensional space. And he could also understand why the Aquatic Dragon seemed so confident in himself.
That was because, so far until now, thousands of years had passed, and, of course, the more time had passed, the more people had entered this space, and he had killed everyone in an instant. This made him very proud of himself.
"Wow! Great Dragreeper, you are really awesome. I respect you so much. But how unfortunate…" Zheng-Fu said admiringly, but then he stopped talking, leaving behind the words that made him curious.
"What's unfortunate!?" The Aquatic Dragon looked very curious when Zheng-Fu ended his words, which attracted attention like that. So, he asked curiously.
"But how unfortunate that... I... I... I don't know if I should say it or not. I am afraid that Great Dragreeper will dislike me and kill me, so I…"
"Hurry up, human, tell me quickly. I, this Great Dragreeper, promise you that I won't do anything to you, but if you don't say it, I'll kill you without any remains!!!" Out of curiosity, he interjected, promising not to do anything to him. When he spoke out, of course, the Dragon Clan was the one who kept their promises more than anything.
If they had made a promise, they would definitely not take their words back.
"Alright, since Great Dragreeper said so, I'll let you know. And the unfortunate thing is, throughout the past thousands of years, there were many people who only thought of possessing you. That caused them to die tragically. But none of them thought to help you take revenge, but... since I've heard your story, I can't help but hate those people who play dirty tricks on you like that.
If I can leave, I promise that I'll definitely avenge them on the Great Dragreeper." Zheng-Fu said, pounding on his chest hard and firmly.
"Huh...!?"
His expressions and words caused the intently listening Aquatic Dragon to gasp, its eyes wide open. He did not expect this kid to think like this. Despite being human beings just like each other, they still felt a sense of loathing towards each other. And besides, this kid wanted to help him take revenge.
"Kid, you are the first person to speak to me like this. Everyone else only thought of possessing me. And in the end, they all drowned there," said the Aquatic Dragon, pointing at the water where Zheng-Fu stood. Then he continued saying, "They were all thinking of owning this sword without estimating themselves and dared to fight with me." The Aquatic Dragon said this, proudly raising his head.
"I admit that I wanted to own this sword as well in the beginning. But when I heard the sorrowful story about the Great Dragreeper, I didn't need it anymore. I just want to help you take revenge. But…" Zheng-Fu suddenly changed his expression to look sad and said that he did not want to possess the sword anymore but wanted to help him get his revenge.
But before Zheng-Fu could finish speaking, he stopped midway to make the Aquatic Dragon want to know once again.
All of Zheng-Fu's actions and words expressed were only his pretending. Who would not want such a precious thing? But no matter how much he wanted it, he could not even use harsh methods because his energy level and the Aquatic Dragon's were too different, even though the latter was only a spirit. His plan was to perform a play that Zheng-Fu was very proud of.
He would pretend that he wanted to save the Aquatic Dragon and make the other party give it to him willingly.
"But… but what, kid!?"
And it was just as Zheng-Fu expected. His words would definitely cause the Aquatic Dragon to be trapped. And he was really trapped.
"But I'm just an ordinary, lowly human being without any energy, so I wouldn't be able to save Great Dragreeper. If I had more power and a great magic weapon, I believe that all your enemies would surely be killed," Zheng-Fu said, wiping away tears, and had a sad expression mixed with serious eyes.
"Huh! I thought it'd be a big deal, but actually, it's just a small matter. This Great Dragreeper can make you a lot stronger. With your sincerity in wanting to help me, I am deeply grateful. And I myself am tired of being in a place like this. If what you say is true, then I will agree to make a commitment with you so that you can have a weapon with my spirit to kill all those bastards."
The Aquatic Dragon spoke with a serious expression and was extremely trusting of Zheng-Fu because, throughout the conversation, he felt very favoured by Zheng-Fu, whether it was praising, agreeing, or even thinking of helping him get his revenge. These things made him feel good about Zheng-Fu quite a bit.
But because he was from an arrogant race, he still had some hesitations and concerns about making a commitment with Zheng-Fu.
As for Zheng-Fu, upon hearing that, a small smile appeared on the corner of his mouth happily. Now his plan was about to be accomplished. If he could make a commitment, he would immediately become the master of the Aquatic Dragon. And that would greatly increase his cultivation level because the Aquatic Dragon was different from Jin-Tian.
The latter was only a pet that had a close relationship with its master.
Thump!!!
"I, Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, thank you to the Great Dragreeper for accepting me. I promise to help you avenge those bastards…"
"Don't waste your time talking, kid. I'm too lazy to listen. I, Long-Chao, hereby accept this commitment from you, Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu."
Whirrl!!!
Suddenly, Zheng-Fu's body and the Aquatic Dragon's body lit up. That was to complete the blood commitment, which meant both parties accepting each other. After a while, the light on their bodies disappeared, along with the figure of the Aquatic Dragon, who had transformed into a blue sword in Zheng-Fu's hand.
"Ha ha ha! Completely done. Wow... finally, I got it! Don't worry, Great Dragreeper. I, Tian-Tang Zheng-Fu, never go back on my words.
But I don't know when I'll be able to do it because right now I still have a lot to do. However, I'll definitely take revenge for you." Zheng-Fu looked down at the sword in his hand and said firmly what he had promised.
As for the Aquatic Dragon, he did not respond in any way. That was because, after he had completed the commitment with Zheng-Fu, he would be in hibernation to adjust the various conditions in the new body to fit Zheng-Fu's character. Also, he had to adjust to the idea of accepting Zheng-Fu as his master.
"Okay, now I'm the owner of this sword. And before I leave, let's gather some extra stuff!!!" Zheng-Fu said with a smile and gazed happily beneath his feet since there were many corpses beneath the water. And on those corpses, there were definitely dimensional rings and treasures with them. They would be armour, weapons, or even strange and unusual jewellery.
Plouf!!!
Glub Glub Glub!!!
After he finished his words, Zheng-Fu did not hesitate to plunge into the water to collect the treasure from the many corpses that the Aquatic Dragon had killed. There were not less than a thousand bodies that piled up and were buried beneath this water. And from what Zheng-Fu observed of these corpses, their individual level was definitely not lower than the highest of the Nascent Soul stage.
Thump, thump, thump!!!
Zheng-Fu was still frantically picking things up with a very wide smile. If anyone had seen Zheng-Fu right now, they would be so jealous and go mad because, if all the dimensional rings of those corpses were examined, there would certainly be so many good items inside. And since some of the corpses were hundreds of years old, perhaps they might have had some valuable antiques to possess.
Five minutes had passed...
Whirrl!!!
Aaaaah!!!
Eventually, the dimensional space gradually dissipated. The surrounding scenery began to return to the original Zheng-Fu's room. When he opened his eyes, Zheng-Fu found that the blue sword had already merged with his body, which meant it could be summoned and stored at any time.
"Excellent, I don't have to carry it to look cluttered. I can summon it anytime. This Aquatic Dragon sword is really awesome. Ha ha ha! Having a good weapon is half the battle won. Next up is this one!?" Zheng-Fu exclaimed with joy and admiration for his new weapon.
He turned his head to look at the wooden box with the three Winter Flame Sabres inside, with the expectation of becoming their master like this Aquatic Dragon sword.
