"I do have a suggestion. Since stones don't have genders, why not transform into a cute little loli, just like Yuanbao's appearance?"
Feng Yi finally revealed his wicked fox tail!
"Stones may not have genders, but as a Dragon King..."
Feng Yi actually wanted him to transform into a little loli? How outrageous!
Did he, the dignified Azhdaha, care nothing for his reputation?
If he transformed into a little loli, how could he face Morax with any shred of dignity?
Azhdaha finally saw through Feng Yi. That guy was full of schemes...
"I'll let you use the golden bells three times for free..."
Feng Yi had anticipated Azhdaha's rage and directly held out three fingers.
"Ah, this... can this really buy a Dragon King's dignity?!"
Upon hearing Feng Yi's voice, Azhdaha's roar paused, then erupted into renewed fury.
"Five times!"
Feng Yi understood the subtext – the offer wasn't enough.
Since this was a negotiation, it was easy to handle!
"Hissing... you brat, how dare you underestimate me?!"
Azhdaha: Not enough, add more!
"Ten times! I'll let you use the golden bells ten times for free. This is the highest price I can offer. If you don't find it suitable, then pretend I never said anything..."
Feng Yi said calmly. If the other party still disagreed, he would have to use his trump card!
"This... let me consider it..."
Azhdaha fell silent. To be honest, this price had exceeded his expectations...
In fact, for celestials and gods like them, transforming into a female form was nothing. Even the God of War, Morax, had transformed into a female form in the past.
Besides, he wouldn't have to appear as a female form all the time. As soon as the contract with Feng Yi expired, he could change his appearance at any time.
As for a Dragon King's dignity...
Could a Dragon King's dignity be eaten?
If it could be exchanged for ten uses of a precious soul alchemy item, it wasn't a loss.
"During the period of transforming into a loli, room and board are included. This is a treatment even Zhongli hasn't enjoyed!"
Seeing that Azhdaha was tempted, Feng Yi added fuel to the fire.
"Deal!"
Azhdaha declared, "Dragon Kings never serve, unless room and board are provided!"
A dazzling halo flashed, and the mountain-like Azhdaha disappeared.
Feng Yi then noticed a cute little loli with dragon horns sitting in the middle of the sealing stone pillar.
Azhdaha, transformed into a loli, wore armor and a cape made of rock granules, looking quite heroic.
Her appearance bore a six or seven-tenths resemblance to Yuanbao, with a rosy little face, incredibly cute.
"Don't forget what you promised me!"
Azhdaha, transformed into a loli, even her voice had become soft and pleasant.
A perfect loli voice!
"Of course, I, Feng, always keep my word and never lie!"
Azhdaha pouted, her large, clear eyes fixed on him, completely melting Feng Yi.
Feng Yi took out a red string, threaded it through the loop of the golden bell, making a necklace, and hung it around Azhdaha's neck to show his sincerity!
...
On Zhongli's side, the second round of bombardment had just ended. Zhongli was about to commence the third round when Yuanbao stopped him.
"Grandpa Zhongli, it's too wasteful to give him so many Stars for free. Let Yuanbao try!"
Yuanbao felt that she had never expected Zhongli to treat Stars so lightly, as if they were pebbles. It made her heart ache.
What a waste of so many Stars!
It would be better to give them to her as payment.
"Do your best, and prioritize safety. I will also keep watch."
Zhongli nodded, preparing to observe Yuanbao's performance.
"Mo... Morax, with this scale of attack, I'd like to see how many more times you can use it!"
Azhdaha's evil spirit reappeared from the deep pit, before everyone's eyes, and began to taunt Zhongli, attempting to deplete his strength further.
"Hey! You grumpy old dirt-granny, Yuanbao will deal with you now!"
Yuanbao took two steps forward, directly facing the giant figure of the evil spirit.
"Heh heh... Morax, have you run out of tricks? Sending a young little girl to her death?!"
The evil spirit sneered repeatedly, continuing to taunt and draw aggro.
Zhongli's sudden pause disrupted his combat plan, forcing the evil spirit to suspect if Morax had seen through his strategy.
Evil Spirit: As expected of the former God of War! Such keen insight!
Zhongli: Please stop your imagination, I just want to see Yuanbao's capabilities!
"Grumpy old dirt-granny, all the Stars wasted on you, if made into talismans and given to Daddy, he'd be very happy. When Daddy is happy, he'll roast lots of fat rabbits for Yuanbao... So, you're wasting Yuanbao's favorite roasted rabbits!"
According to Yuanbao's logic, Stars wasted on the evil spirit = wasted Star talismans = Daddy unhappy = no roasted rabbit reward for herself.
Thinking about it this way, the grumpy old dirt-granny caused Yuanbao to miss out on many roasted rabbit rewards, making him utterly wicked!
Zhongli: What a fierce logic...
"What dirt-granny? What roasted rabbits? What nonsense are you talking? Little girl, since Morax has sent you out to die, don't blame me!"
The evil spirit cackled, his violent red eyes locked onto the little girl, completely disregarding her.
He, the dignified Dragon King's spirit, facing off against a young little girl, could he possibly lose?!
"Bad guy, take this! Ha yi tui~"
Yuanbao attacked first, spitting a small golden fireball directly at the evil spirit.
"Is that all? I thought you had some ability. What can this flimsy little fireball do?"
The evil spirit looked at the fireball, which was smaller than his thumb, with disdain. He felt he could extinguish it with a mere spit.
He would stand still today. If it could harm him in the slightest, he would lose!
He had absolute confidence in the defense of his rock scale armor.
This scale armor was the highest compression and condensation of the Geo element within his body, enough to protect him unharmed even in scorching magma.
Even after enduring Zhongli's two rounds of Stellar Terror bombardment, it remained intact and impregnable.
This was his confidence!
As the golden fireball approached his rock scale armor, the evil spirit's eyelids suddenly twitched. He felt a premonition of impending doom.
The evil spirit abruptly retreated, disregarding his earlier boast.
Because his intuition told him he could not withstand it, or he would perish!
Although the premonition seemed absurd, he decisively chose to retreat. The evil spirit did not believe that intuition would arise without reason.
What the evil spirit didn't expect was that as he retreated, the golden fireball suddenly accelerated, its speed so astonishing that it caught him by surprise. He couldn't react in time, and it instantly struck his rock scale armor.
