Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 805: Chapter 12: Capturing Green Jiao! Li Yao Will Join the World (Seeking Monthly Votes)_3

Moreover, young Fierce Beasts’ temperaments are not yet fixed, making them relatively easier to train. This is unlike higher-level Fierce Beasts whose characters have already solidified, and getting them to obey is not that easy. Plus, Fierce Beasts that grow up among humans tend to understand human nature better.

Just like the Spirit Tortoise of the Water Element that belongs to the Wang family, because it has always lived adjacent to the Wang family, it evidently understands human nature better than wild Fierce Beasts do.

Many of Wang Shouzhe’s children and grandchildren used to ride the Spirit Tortoise of the Water Element to school when they were young.

However, this approach has a clear downside, and that is the long cultivation period.

The Water Element Spirit Tortoise in the family consumes plentiful offerings yearly, and its cultivation base progress is considered fast among its peers. Yet, after decades, it has barely stepped into Level Four.

In terms of the overall combat power of the Wang family, it has completely fallen behind the main forces and can only continue to stay in Zhuwei Lake, ferrying children back and forth.

This issue is, in fact, a common occurrence in this Profound Martial World.

Take, for example, the Old Turtle of the Purple Abode belonging to Enlightened One Tianhe, the Green Jiao plagued with Mysterious Ice under Master Binglan, or even the Old Firefox Ancestor; their levels are all weaker than their respective masters.

As for the cases of taming mature Fierce Beasts for their use, they are not non-existent, but the prerequisite is that the family’s development speed must be swift enough to continuously suppress the other party. Otherwise, the probability of failure is also very high.

In history, there are far too many instances of Fierce Beasts rebelling after being tamed.

This was also the main reason why Wang Shouzhe hadn’t thought about taming the Water Element Green Jiao; the risk was indeed substantial.

“Alright, let’s give it a try. To make it willing, our Wang family only needs it to serve for a hundred years. After a hundred years, whether it stays or leaves can be negotiated,” Wang Shouzhe pondered and eventually agreed.

He reckoned the family’s development potential was still promising. It was just that at this stage, there was a strong desire for a Level Seven Spirit Beast. In a few decades, the number of Purple Abode Realm Cultivators within the family would surge.

By then, would a mere Level Seven Water Element Azure Dragon still be unmanageable?

“Shouzhe brother is indeed clever. If it’s just for a hundred years, it will be much easier to tame,” the Old Firefox Ancestor understood, and immediately began to negotiate with the Water Element Green Jiao, howling away.

As expected, the Green Jiao started by furiously refusing, but the situation was stronger than the Jiao. And when the Old Firefox Ancestor started beating it severely, it was indeed too fierce.

After several ineffective resistances, it reluctantly compromised, shifting to negotiate terms with the Old Firefox Ancestor.

Ultimately, the Water Element Green Jiao agreed to serve the Wang family for two hundred years, on the condition that once the Pearl Grass matured, it would be reserved for its use to transform into a dragon. Also, during its service, the Wang family must provide for all its food and drink and must not mistreat it while it is still growing.

Wang Shouzhe naturally would not refuse these terms.

What he wanted was a Level Seven Water Element Azure Dragon, not a Green Jiao at the peak of Level Six.

As for whether it serves for two hundred years or a hundred years, there’s not much difference to him. After enjoying the generous nurturing of the Wang family, how could the Water Element Azure Dragon be willing to leave to struggle outside?

Don’t you see how contentedly the Water Element Spirit Tortoise in Zhuwei Lake is living now? Even if we ask it to leave, it would be reluctant.

Following this.

Under the mediation of the “middleman” Old Firefox Ancestor, Wang Shouzhe and the Water Element Green Jiao both swore solemn oaths in the name of their ancestors, drafted a contract, and with blood as witness, signed it, leaving the Old Firefox Ancestor to keep it safe.

After the ceremony, the contract was officially established.

In this Profound Martial World, oaths made in the name of the ancestors are still very potent. Neither Wang Shouzhe nor the Water Element Green Jiao could take the names of their Old Ancestors lightly.

Unless there were truly no other options, both parties would generally not violate the contract.

The respect and reverence the humans in this world have for their bloodline ancestors cannot be compared to that of the people on Earth. After all, the basis for the heritage of a Prominent Family is the bloodline; if one does not honor the ancestors, how can the connections between clans be maintained?

And the Green Jiao’s veneration for the Ancestor Dragon is even engraved in its bloodline, more so than humans.

Therefore, once the contract was signed, both parties even felt a sense of closeness, almost as if they could sense that they were now kin.

This is akin to how the psychological dynamics often shift subtly between couples after completing a marriage registration.

“Brother Shouzhe, the little mudfish has just become a Spirit Beast maintained by our family and is unfamiliar with many rules. It still possesses some wildness that needs to be shed to avoid frightening the children in the family. Let it stay with me for these two years, and I will properly train it,” the Old Firefox Ancestor squinted with a sly grin. “Besides, I need to teach it a good lesson, so it understands that even if it transforms into a Level Seven Water Element Azure Dragon, its leader is still its leader.”

The Water Element Green Jiao shuddered.

No, please~ It doesn’t want to follow this insane fox that likes to beat it up for no reason. Surely, this fox has no good intentions~~!!

It gazed pleadingly at Wang Shouzhe, its watery Jiao eyes full of supplication, hoping that the newly-pledged Family Head would grant it mercy…

“What the Old Firefox Ancestor said makes sense,” Wang Shouzhe, however, heartily concurred. “There are many rules in the human world, and even more so within the family. A wild Fierce Beast like it would definitely not have been exposed to these and does need to learn them. As for the Pearl Grass, I will keep it safe for now and allow the Green Jiao to ascend after two years.”
