Ye Kunlun looked at the excited Wu Jiuming and then at the small head of the Golden Toad.
"What? This little guy has made you this excited?" Ye Kunlun asked.
Wu Jiuming tried to calm himself down, looking at the four faint markings above the Golden Toad's eyes, which resembled eyes.
After all, the Golden Toad hadn't looked like this before; it had been a six-eyed blood toad.
It had only taken on its current appearance after a battle with Ye Kunlun.
"Sir, our Wu clan has an ancient legend," Wu Jiuming said slowly, still gazing at the Golden Toad on Ye Kunlun's shoulder.
"It's said that in the universe, there is a river, and in that river lives a golden toad that controls the spatial laws of the world."
Hearing Wu Jiuming's words, Ye Kunlun chuckled, "This little guy is probably not as formidable as you say."
If the Golden Toad on his shoulder could control the spatial laws of the world, wouldn't he be able to manipulate space at will?
Moreover, he hadn't felt any fluctuations of spatial power from the Golden Toad.
Wait!
Ye Kunlun remembered something: the Golden Toad could come out of his mysterious ring on its own!
Wasn't that a form of spatial ability?
"Sir, the golden toad in our clan's legend looks almost identical to the one on your shoulder."
"The river in the universe is said to be the boundary between the underworld and the mortal world, and besides controlling spatial rules, the golden toad is also the guardian of the mortal world."
Ye Kunlun couldn't help but laugh as Wu Jiuming's words became more and more outlandish.
Seeing that Ye Kunlun didn't believe him, Wu Jiuming awkwardly scratched his head, "Sir, this is indeed how our Wu clan records it. If you don't believe me, just consider it a story."
Ye Kunlun smiled and looked at the Golden Toad's head, asking, "Little guy, do you understand spatial power?"
Gua gua—
The Golden Toad croaked.
Ye Kunlun didn't detect any spatial power, and then the little guy turned into a golden light and disappeared directly into Ye Kunlun's ring.
At that very instant, Ye Kunlun detected a faint spatial fluctuation.
This little guy actually understood spatial power.
A hint of joy appeared in Ye Kunlun's eyes. If the Golden Toad understood spatial power, he could use its strength to determine the location of the Ten Deaths Land.
Perhaps he could really find his grandfather.
Ye Kunlun patted Wu Jiuming's shoulder and said with a smile, "You're right, this little guy really understands spatial power, just not as strong as you described yet."
Ye Kunlun would only know how strong the spatial power controlled by the Golden Toad was after testing it.
"Let's go, let's go see your sister first!"
Ye Kunlun put away the letter and headed towards the urban village.
Wu Lingxiang's body had mostly recovered, but the curse power within her could not be removed for the time being.
Fortunately, there was no immediate danger to her life.
As Ye Kunlun left, he instructed Wu Jiuming to try not to move around too much, lest he be targeted by Gu Changsheng.
Afterward, Ye Kunlun returned to the Boundless Prison. As soon as he entered, Yun Chuxue's call came through.
"How is the handling of matters in the capital?" Yun Chuxue's voice carried her longing and concern for Ye Kunlun.
"It's going smoothly for now, but there are many involved matters, and it's unlikely to be finished in a short time."
Ye Kunlun chatted with Yun Chuxue with a smile.
"The company has recently started to engage with businesses in the capital. I've made up my mind; since we have to enter the capital market sooner or later, it's better to make plans early."
"Moreover, it's a very powerful company in the capital. They will send someone over tomorrow, and I think the cooperation can be finalized, which would be a good start."
Yun Chuxue's excitement grew as she spoke, "This way, I can go to the capital to see you sooner and keep up with your pace."
"I've also made a few friends in the capital, and I've asked them to look out for you here."
Ye Kunlun thought of Zhuge Chu.
Although the Zhuge family had declined over the years, Zhuge Chu's resources in the capital were invaluable to Yun Chuxue.
As for Tang Zhuozhuo, Ye Kunlun didn't want to trouble her for now.
His relationship with the Tang family could only be described as a normal transaction. Although Tang Zhuozhuo didn't want to cancel their engagement, Ye Kunlun didn't have any feelings for her.
"Wouldn't that be troubling them too much?"
Yun Chuxue didn't want to cause trouble for Ye Kunlun.
"Don't worry, it's not a trouble for him," Ye Kunlun said with a smile, and then reminded her, "Remember to practice the cultivation method I taught you every day."
"Mhm, I haven't forgotten. I'm a master now," Yun Chuxue said with a proud smile. "I have to go now; the company has a meeting early tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Kunlun took a shower.
Wearing a bathrobe, he moved his mind, and the Golden Toad appeared on the desk in front of him.
Gua gua—
The Golden Toad seemed displeased that Ye Kunlun had called it out so late.
Without a word, Ye Kunlun flicked his finger, and a sharp aura directly attacked the Golden Toad!
Seeing this, the little guy didn't dodge. It opened its wide mouth and directly swallowed Ye Kunlun's attack!
The moment it opened its mouth, Ye Kunlun also sensed a faint spatial fluctuation.
He hadn't paid much attention before; it was just that the spatial fluctuation was too weak, and he wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't deliberately paid attention.
Then, Ye Kunlun launched another attack.
However, he had added a trace of his divine sense into this attack, wanting to see what was happening inside the Golden Toad's belly.
With a "gua gua," the Golden Toad swallowed Ye Kunlun's attack again.
The next second, Ye Kunlun sensed that his divine sense had entered a chaotic space.
In that space, he detected the Jade Spirit Snake, which had been swallowed not long ago.
The Jade Spirit Snake was frantically swimming in the space, trying to find a way out.
After Ye Kunlun's divine sense probed, he discovered that this independent space within the Golden Toad's belly was several thousand square meters.
As for the area outside the space, he detected even stronger spatial fluctuations.
Ye Kunlun knew that as the Golden Toad's strength grew, this space would become larger, and it might even become an independent world one day!
Wu Jiuming's words tonight were an immense surprise to Ye Kunlun.
"Little guy."
Ye Kunlun stared at the Golden Toad, his eyes shining, "Can I give you a mission? Try to find the location of the Ten Deaths Land."
Gua gua—
The Golden Toad stared at Ye Kunlun, acting as if it understood nothing.
"If you can help me find the Ten Deaths Land, I'll give you a strand of spiritual energy every day from now on."
As he spoke, Ye Kunlun opened his palm, and extremely pure spiritual energy condensed in it instantly.
This was the spiritual energy from within his body, much purer than the chaotic spiritual energy in the natural world, and it would be an irresistible attraction to the Golden Toad.
Gua gua—
As expected, the Golden Toad flicked its tongue and sucked all the spiritual energy from Ye Kunlun's palm into its belly.
"Good, it's a deal. From now on, you're a traveling frog. Come back when you find the Ten Deaths Land."
Ye Kunlun had a smug look on his face.
