Yu Qing Qian looked at the Golden Ginseng in the thorn bush, dug it up with the roots and soil, and put it in a box.
The poisonous thorn bush seeds around were also collected by Yu Qing Qian, then she tossed the Demon Emperor Herb into the thorn bush, allowing it to absorb all the poison without wasting any.
Yu Qing Qian walked up to the demonic plant which had become numb all over from the cold and had transformed from a golden crow into a Golden Phoenix Flower, and noticed that it was constantly shivering.
“How is it? Do you still want to peck at and eat me?” Yu Qing Qian looked at the pitiful Golden Phoenix Flower with indifferent eyes and a cold voice.
The Golden Phoenix Flower shuddered, and its two small eyes looked at Yu Qing Qian in horror, feeling that this woman was too scary.
It had been the domineering king of this area for so many years. Even if pupils of the Holy Academy came, they dared not provoke it, not to mention catch it, and it was even more impossible to find the Golden Ginseng it hid under the thorn bushes. This time it really lost.
[ZHI ZHI!] Several soft sounds sounded from the Golden Phoenix Flower’s lips, which meant that it was demonstrating submissiveness.
It didn’t know what this human was going to do to it, but it was really scared. Such a big net made it unable to move, and the ice-attribute demonic plant made it feel very uncomfortable. Each moment it felt like it was being tortured, and it couldn’t die even if it wanted to.
“It would’ve all been fine if you had behaved like this earlier.” Yu Qing Qian chuckled: “You wouldn’t have to suffer so much.
“Recognise me as Owner, are you convinced?” Yu Qing Qian would never force any demonic plant to form a contract with her.
[ZHI ZHI!] An aggrieved voice came from the Golden Phoenix Flower, then after a while, it nodded weakly in agreement.
Gu Yan rolled his eyes in the small pagoda space—this also worked?
Gu Yan had encountered demonic plants like this Golden Phoenix Flower before, but they were all very stubborn. Unexpectedly, it recognised an owner after being tortured like this a little bit, it truly had soft bones.
“This Golden Phoenix Flower is too cowardly, it gave in after just a bit, do you really want to form a contract with it?”
Yu Qing Qian said wordlessly: “The Golden Phoenix Flower loves heat and is most afraid of the cold. I let the cold air penetrate into its body and corrode it. Dealing with it this way makes it feel a thousand times more uncomfortable than killing it. It naturally knows what the wisest choice to make is.”
The bloodline level of this Golden Phoenix Flower is close to emperor-level. It had a very high spiritual intelligence and it could even be said to be a little clever. It had an innate ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil.
Gu Yan thought about it and agreed. Such torture was more uncomfortable than letting the Golden Phoenix Flower mutilate itself or whip it. His precious disciple was indeed very perverted.
“You just let those two people peek for so long?” Then he casually glanced at the relatively hidden cave not far away and said meaningfully.
Yu Qing Qian smiled nonchalantly: “It’s not a bad idea to let them know my methods, maybe there’ll be another deal later.”
“…” Gu Yan now knew that from the moment they stepped into this fiery area, Yu Qing Qian had already plotted against the Golden Phoenix Flower and the two together.
A drop of blood essence fell on the Golden Phoenix Flower, and a ball of golden light flew into Yu Qing Qian’s forehead, then entered the small pagoda.
The plants that formed the empty net dispersed instantly under the orders of Yu Qing Qian, and returned to their original positions. The ice-blue demonic plant then moved itself into the cold area below to live.
As soon as the Golden Phoenix Flower entered the small pagoda, it recovered some of its demonic energy and transformed into the form of the golden crow again. It felt that the golden crow was more domineering than its original form.
A pair of small eyes glanced at the shrunken black python squatting in the corner. It was very smart, and right now it also realised that it had been plotted against by its owner.
[ZHI ZHI!] The golden crow shouted several times at the black python with a fierce look in its eyes, as if threatening and intimidating.
The black python shrank its body—it just knew that even those demonic plants more powerful than itself couldn’t escape the demonic clutches of its Owner.
Note: I forgot Goldilocks was also a type of flower and was gonna make fun of Google translate for translating 金凤花 (aka my literal translation ‘Golden Phoenix Flower’) into Goldilocks XD. Then I did a little bit more research and apparently it could also be something called a Buttercup Flower. BUT THEN I think I found what it actually refers to because damn this flower is gorgeous and worthy of its literal translated name! I think the official name in English is ‘impatiens cyathiflora’ (according to Baidu) But if you type in 金凤花 into Baidu and look at the pictures, I’m pretty sure that’s the accurate flower.
