442: At worst, I will wait until the rabbit monster Jiji becomes a human and then introduce him to you.
Everyone was stunned by Wang Cao's Move, and equally thunderstruck by its name, which was as long as an old grandmother's foot-binding cloth.
"This... what kind of Move is this? It's incredibly powerful!" Wang Jia exclaimed, looking at his silly son in shock.
"Though it's a bit awkward, the Move is indeed very strong!" Lan Kun agreed.
At this moment, Wang Cao looked at everyone triumphantly, secretly pleased.
"Let's see if you dare to look down on this Heavenly Venerate again!" he thought to himself.
However, just then, a voice broke the silence.
"Hey, Wang Cao, your name is too long! Who can remember it?" The speaker was Xin Mulan, who looked at Wang Cao with a teasing expression.
Wang Cao's face instantly turned ugly.
"What do you know? This is a name created by this Heavenly Venerate!" he retorted.
"Haha, created by yourself! Zoro is going to sue you for plagiarism!" Xin Mulan laughed playfully.
The people around them also burst into laughter.
Wang Cao gritted his teeth in anger, but couldn't retort.
Jin Meiting helplessly patted Xin Mulan; these two never stopped bickering when they were together.
"Little brother Wang Cao, you're really getting more and more powerful now, big sister is optimistic about you!"
Wang Cao smiled triumphantly: "Of course, this Heavenly Venerate is inherently powerful, so why would I need your approval!"
Xin Mulan waved her hand, "Ah, yes, yes, yes..."
Lan Kun saw that the Sandstorm Scorpion here had been successfully dealt with, so it was better to leave early!
"Everyone should go out first, this isn't a place for casual chat."
"Yes, yes, yes, the casual chat here is a flavorful gossip!"
The few of them chatted and laughed as they began to walk out, only Wang Jia walked at the very back, looking at Wang Cao's back with a myriad of emotions.
That silly son from before had actually grown to such an extent; he was now a reliable brat.
*Splat*—
He looked down at the ground in confusion, just in time to see a Sandstorm Scorpion that he had almost squashed.
It was a young one, clearly having just hatched from an egg not long ago.
It was already missing limbs, and its head was almost crushed by Wang Jia's foot.
If it hadn't been for the sound it made when he stepped on and broke one of its legs, Wang Jia truly wouldn't have noticed this little guy.
Seeing that it was already severely injured, it was still crawling towards a small stone nearby with all its might.
Wang Jia saw how much the Sandstorm Scorpion wanted to live, and as a pet dad, it was hard for him not to soften.
Should he give it a try??
Then, he began to try and see if he could control the Sandstorm Scorpion, concentrating and attempting to establish a connection with it using his intent.
He felt a faint response, and his heart rejoiced; he continued to try and communicate.
Gradually, the connection between him and the Sandstorm Scorpion became stable.
Wang Jia could feel its pain and desire, and the Sandstorm Scorpion also seemed to understand Wang Jia's intention.
Finally, Wang Jia successfully controlled and contracted the Sandstorm Scorpion.
He carefully held it in his palm, deciding to take it back for treatment and take good care of it.
"The Yao Beast before was so hard to kill, I wonder if this little thing will be the same when it grows up?!"
"Your dad appeared too suddenly before, otherwise, I really wanted to contract it..."
He spoke as he slowly walked forward.
After applying medicine to the little Sandstorm Scorpion, he carefully put it away and then closely followed the main group's pace.
Just then, Wang Cao suddenly realized that his old man had fallen behind, so he quietly stood still, closed his eyes to rest, and patiently waited for his old man to arrive.
When he keenly sensed a faint Sandstorm Scorpion Qi appearing inside the cave, he couldn't help but feel a surge of panic, fearing that his old man had met with misfortune.
However, as the scene he "saw" with his Divine Sense gradually became clear, his anxious heart slowly settled down, no longer overly worried.
Ever since his old man had Awakened the talent of Beast Taming, he always held an indescribable fondness for existences like Yao Beasts.
This emotion was very peculiar, making one puzzled and even unable to describe it with words.
Of course, his old man didn't dote on everything without principle, but only cherished the Yao Beasts with whom he had a contractual relationship.
Since his old man was so interested in the Sandstorm Scorpion and had successfully completed the contract, he no longer interfered excessively.
Wang Cao: "Dad, why are you dawdling like a woman?"
Wang Jia: "Heh, if you dare to say that to your mom, I won't introduce you to a Rabbit Demon girlfriend."
Wang Cao: !!!
How could this Heavenly Venerate have a father who didn't treat his own son as his offspring, only thinking about finding a partner for a Rabbit Demon.
Wang Jia smiled smugly, hitting the snake at its seven inches; he knew Wang Cao was most afraid of his mom.
Seeing Wang Cao's look of suppressed anger, he was instantly in a good mood.
"Oh, it's fine, at worst, your dad will wait until Gigi cultivates a human form before introducing her to you!"
This conversation was going nowhere; the so-called father-son affection was fake.
"This is going nowhere, others are still waiting for us, hurry and come out with this Heavenly Venerate!"
"Huh? Ah, haha, alright..."
.........
Xin Mulan looked at the exaggerated laughter coming from inside the cave in confusion, not understanding why.
"What's going on? Did they find money in there to be so happy?!"
"Maybe!"
"Strange, I wasn't this happy when I found a thousand yuan before, did I find too little?"
Lan Kun: ...
Jin Meiting: ...
I really want to beat her to death, but I can't...
What do you mean by finding money and still complaining it's too little, that's too Versailles.
Jin Meiting was momentarily choked by Xin Mulan's Versailles, and she quickly changed the subject.
"Once Wang Cao and the others come out, let's quickly leave this place. Overall, our previous idea has succeeded. Next, we just need to find the leader of the Desert Fox Dogs, and it will be easy for Brother Wang to contract them."
"Mm, okay. But this place is really quite eerie, I hope we can leave smoothly." Xin Mulan responded.
"Yes, let's still be careful."
Lan Kun nodded, indicating agreement.
"Then you two wait here first, I'll go check the situation." Lan Kun volunteered.
"I'll go with you, it'll be safer that way."
Xin Mulan proactively offered to go together.
"Alright, then Meiting, you wait here for them to come out, and then we'll rendezvous." Lan Kun instructed.
"Okay, you two also be careful." Meiting nodded in response.
As soon as Lan Kun and Xin Mulan left, Wang Cao and his father came out; they looked at Jin Meiting in confusion.
"Where are they?"
Jin Meiting explained: "They went to find the leading Desert Fox Dogs. Later, we'll have to trouble Brother Wang to contract them."
Wang Jia waved his hand, "Oh no, no, if anything, I'm the one benefiting here, it's hardly any trouble."
Wang Cao was confused: "Didn't we contract them before?"
Wang Jia: "Mm, not exactly a contract, but they also died during the attack on the Sandstorm Scorpion. Now, if we just find the leader of the Desert Fox Dogs and successfully contract him, we won't have to worry about any of the Desert Fox Dogs."
