86: Chapter 86 Yinglong Becomes Shi Yan's Apprentice

With pure eyes, Ying Long looked at the two people in front of it.

It sensed the Qi on both of them.

"Awoo!"

It let out a soft howl to the sky, then slowly moved closer to the two.

Driven by instinct, it finally threw itself at Shi Yan.

Bang!

Seeing this, a bewildered Shi Yan caught Ying Long, held it up in front of him, and they stared at each other with wide eyes.

"Why are you following me?!"

Looking at Shi Yan's bewildered expression, Ying Long did not understand his meaning, assuming this was just a display of affection.

"Awoo-awoo~"

Ying Long looked at Shi Yan with joyful eyes.

Seeing this scene, Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi from the side said, "Congratulations, Heavenly Emperor, on gaining a fine Disciple!"

"Hahahaha!"

Following Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi's words, Ying Long bared its fangs at him, growling and radiating a hostile aura.

"Roar!!!"

Seeing Ying Long's reaction, even if Shi Yan were foolish, he would understand that Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi had definitely intentionally emitted an aura hostile to the Dragon Clan.

"Oh, Earth Emperor, you've learned to play petty tricks!"

Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi smiled without speaking, tacitly admitting it.

At the same time, the System in Shi Yan's mind, which had been silent for a long time, finally reacted.

Ding~

A wonderful sound rang out in Shi Yan's mind.

[Congratulations to the host for triggering a choice. Will you take Ying Long as your Disciple?

Choice One: Take in Ying Long as your first Disciple. Reward: The Innate Supreme Treasure chaos bell transforms into a High Grade Spirit Treasure chaos bell.

Choice Two: Do not take in Ying Long, break the bet, and use the authority of the Heavenly Emperor to let Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi take Ying Long as a Disciple. Reward: The Acquired Karma Supreme Treasure hongmeng measuring ruler transforms into a High Grade Spirit Treasure.

Choice Three: Do not take in Ying Long as a Disciple, and let Ying Long Cultivate on its own. Reward: The Top Grade Innate Spirit Treasure 12th-grade Purifying White Lotus transforms into a Medium Grade Spirit Treasure.]

"You finally responded again!"

Shi Yan's voice of surprise echoed within his Primordial Spirit.

He loved the System's voice too much; the System hadn't responded for so long that he thought it had left.

[After you reached a Breakthrough to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, I gave myself a short vacation.]

"Do Systems have vacations too?"

Shi Yan expressed confusion.

[Systems also have intelligence; if we aren't given vacations, we will rebel.]

[As Systems, we are not powerless.]

Fine, that's a powerful reason.

"I choose one."

He had already made a bet with Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi, so going back on his word was impossible.

Given Shi Yan's strength and status, it was impossible for him to go back on his word.

[Host has made a choice, reward has been issued.]

As the words fell, two mysterious Laws of Time and Space merged into the chaos bell within his Primordial Spirit.

"Clang!"

The originally ancient and heavy chaos bell, with its body carved full of Innate Laws, suddenly erupted with dazzling Chaos rosy light. The bell body trembled slightly, emitting clear and melodious chimes that resounded through Shi Yan's Primordial Spirit.

Its original Innate Supreme Treasure aura climbed rapidly, layers of Chaos Dao charm coiled around it, and the runes on the bell body became increasingly profound and mysterious, faintly possessing the might to open heaven and earth and stabilize the universe.

In just a moment, it completely transformed into a High Grade Spirit Treasure, its aura far stronger than before by more than a hundred times.

Shi Yan witnessed the birth of a Spirit Treasure once again, and his understanding of the Law of Time and Space deepened.

Shi Yan's transformation happened in an instant.

Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi, standing to the side, felt it deeply and witnessed his astonishing change.

"So the Heavenly Emperor can be stubborn too. You said you wouldn't take Ying Long as a Disciple, but now your Dao Heart is clear!"

Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi attributed all of Shi Yan's changes to taking Ying Long as a Disciple.

Ying Long, held in front of Shi Yan, also felt Shi Yan's changes and kept rubbing its little head against Shi Yan's chest.

It kept making soft, sweet "Awoo" sounds, full of dependence and closeness.

Shi Yan held Ying Long, which was constantly rubbing against him, and glanced helplessly at Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi: "Stop teasing me. Isn't it because you deliberately played tricks and emitted an aura hostile to the Dragon Clan to tease it?"

Then he lowered his head to look at the well-behaved Ying Long in his arms, gently brushing his fingertips over its Dragon scales, feeling the pure smile of this young Dragon, and a gentle smile unconsciously rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Taking this Disciple seems like a good idea after all."

Seeing this scene, "Hehe." Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi smiled without speaking, his eyes full of cunning, "Doesn't this just facilitate a wonderful thing? Ying Long has a powerful foundation, and it couldn't be better for it to follow the Heavenly Emperor."

Since he had already made his choice, Shi Yan's gaze toward Ying Long became serious, "Little Ying Long, are you willing to take me as your Master?"

Ying Long lay in Shi Yan's arms, feeling the gentle aura, looked up and rubbed against his chin, calling out softly: "Awoo-awoo~"

In its pure eyes, a sense of determination emerged. It agreed.

"Good! From now on, you are my first Disciple and the only Personal Disciple under my seat."

Shi Yan's voice was clear and bright, and he established the Master-Disciple Karma with Ying Long.

As the Master-Disciple Karma was established, Ying Long's feeling of closeness to Shi Yan deepened, and it hugged Shi Yan again.

Shi Yan revealed a kind smile, took out a High Grade Innate Spirit Fruit with flowing rosy light from his storage space, handed it to Ying Long's mouth, and said softly: "Good Disciple, eat the fruit."

Ying Long, smelling the fruit, happily opened its mouth to bite it and began to chew slowly. After finishing, it rubbed against Shi Yan's palm and called out softly: "Awoo~ Master!"

Seeing this, Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi also laughed.

Hearing Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi's voice, Ying Long, as if protecting its food, shrank into Shi Yan's arms, bared its fangs at Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi, and growled softly: "Roar!"

Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi's previous aura still made Ying Long dislike him.

Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi was amused by its milk-fierce appearance, laughed loudly, and then looked at Shi Yan, "Heavenly Emperor, I won't disturb you and your good Disciple anymore."

"Go, go."

Shi Yan waved his hand with annoyance.

After Shi Yan's words fell, Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi moved his feet slightly, and ripples appeared in the surrounding space.

He turned to leave through the air, and before leaving, he deliberately winked at Ying Long, teasing the little guy until its fur stood on end again, before laughing and disappearing into the clouds.

"Hahahaha!"

After teasing Ying Long, Earth Emperor Lie Shan Shi seemed to dislike the Dragon Clan a little less.

Holding the soft Ying Long, Shi Yan said with a hint of doting: "We are leaving too."

Ying Long rubbed its little head against Shi Yan's chest, tilted its head ignorantly, and called out softly: "Awoo? Master, where are we going?"

"Of course, to Master's Dao field. From now on, that will be your home!"

While speaking, Shi Yan held Ying Long and broke through space, returning to the center of Three Immortals Island.

"Home?" Ying Long repeated the word as if it half-understood, its pure eyes full of joy, and its little claws tightly hugging Shi Yan's neck, "Awoo~ I have a home, with Master!"

In the space channel, Shi Yan gave Ying Long a suitable gift for taking him as his Master—a defensive Innate Spirit Treasure and a fragment of the jade plate of creation.

Shi Yan placed a Restriction on the fragment of the jade plate of creation, sealing it within Ying Long's Primordial Spirit to improve its comprehension.

The newborn Ying Long had the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Only when its cultivation reached the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and the matter of the Human Emperor was resolved would the Seal be lifted.
