Chapter 367: Tasked

You have to start over.

Guan Zhenyan gave him this answer only after Sage asked a few more times, making him bow his head and display some conviction. Sage was reluctant, feeling that he was only a few steps away from begging. He had no issues scraping his belly on the ground to flatter someone for a business transaction, but in those instances hed chosen to initiate the exchange. Theyd also been quite some time ago, and as he grew stronger, his pride followed suit. He had a suspicion it was caused by the fusion with the Winged Snake Worm, it was descended from Ruanfu as well as a few other creatures and was only barely within his range of things he could link with. This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

What do you mean, start over? Start over what, cultivation?

Sage was chained, muzzled, and usually had a face like stone, but even he couldnt help but convey how crazy Guan Zhenyan sounded with the look in his eyes. Was the man truly saying hed need to start cultivating from scratch without the Seed of Life? Did he want it for himself? Was it even possible to get the Seed of Life back now that it had sprouted? Sage certainly didnt think so, none of the sources hed read said it was possible.

Your body. I told you it was a mess, didnt I? Well need a Liberator Butterfly, but judging from the mess youve made, you probably already got one in the past. Youre going to build a new body, one that isnt terrible.

Sage nodded as Guan Zhenyan mentioned the butterfly, though he was cautious of being told to change his body. He was quite proud of his body and the choices hed made to pack in useful abilities!

So, the first step shall be to allow me to link our minds.

Wait. Do what?

The serpents body recoiled, pulling back away from the slovenly dressed fellow. Guan Zhenyan merely laughed, Haha. Youre two for the price of one. How could I pass up such a great deal? A disciple as well as a perfect poison tester. The only snag is getting you to agree to a mental link. Its no big deal really, Im sure Ill think of something within a few years. A suitable treasure should pop up in an auction sooner or later.

Sage was not liking the sound of that. This was the sort of situation he had been fearful of back in the Shou Empire. He didnt wish to be a servant of Demonic Beasts, but the other option was a complete mystery. On the other hand, either party could have been lying to him, but if that were the case why were they taking their time to speak with him? If they didnt care at all they could have just ignored him or forced him to do what they wished. It was hard to tell whether Guan Zhenyan was lying, telling the truth, or even just teasing him.

This is definitely a difficult situation. If I was an idiot then you might have said all of that to lure me into a trap. On the other hand, if you think Im clever you would know I wouldnt fall for such a simple ploy. Since you know my history, you would likely know Im not foolish enough to be tricked, but you told me anyway. Unless of course you knew I would be thinking that way and so you wish me to think youre telling the truth because there would be no other reason to tell me.

What is wrong with me? Death is on the line and now Ive suddenly become sicilian?

You definitely need more rest.

Guan Zhenyan didnt give him the chance to speak anymore, a puff of smoke flew to Sages face and he instantly felt extremely drowsy. There was only time to recall that the man had proclaimed himself as a Poison Master before sleep overtook Sage. He woke later and found that his muzzle had been removed, but the rest of the chains were intact. Hed also been moved indoors. He found himself in a large room, a necessity given his size, and while there werent any bars, there were a pair of guards outside the door. There was a large platter of meat waiting in front of him and it was still nice and hot, as if they knew exactly when he was going to wake up. Sage wasnt surprised, Guan Zhenyan seemed extremely powerful, so it was only fitting that he had such great timing.

After finishing his meal, Sage had to think about what he was going to do. It was no wonder hed been confused earlier, it truly was a tricky situation. There were many things that could only be done with a willing subject. For all he knew, this man could even be working together with those fellows from the Shou Empire. There were any number of plots that could be at work, and he really didnt have anything to fall back upon. On the other hand, his instincts were telling him to trust Guan Zhenyan. Just like theyd led him to avoid the Shou Empire, they were now telling him to stay on the path. Even with so many reasons to doubt, he chose to follow his gut.

I agree to link minds.
