Chapter 89: Failed Negotiations

Mu Chen’s consciousness stared at the Nine Nether Bird, which was trapped within a cage. The latter also stared at him fiercely with a vicious gaze. From the vicious aura, Mu Chen had no doubt that the Nine Nether Bird would rip him into pieces if it had the chance.

It was too difficult to tame a Spiritual Beast at its level.

“Cough…”

As he was stared at fiercely by the Nine Nether Bird, Mu Chen let out a dry cough. He attempted to convey friendly thoughts over: “About that…Hello.”

However, the Nine Nether Bird was completely indifferent when facing his method of conveying friendliness. The vicious aura within its eyes did not show the slightest signs of weakening.

“I know that you can understand my words…” Mu Chen said helplessly: “For you to be in such a situation is actually your own fault. I did not provoke you, yet you dove into my body and attempted to erase my consciousness.”

The Nine Nether Bird looked at Mu Chen coldly and slowly retracted its body. Its elegant wings which were filled with black fire instantly laid down lazily on top of the mandala flower.

“If we continue to be in a stalemate, it would not be beneficial to either of us. Why don’t we discuss it a bit and find a method that would benefit the both of us?” Mu Chen led the discussion and said.

However, against his induction, the Nine Nether Bird’s eyes seemed to show a hint of ridicule and it simply ignored him.

“Oi, can’t you give me a bit of face? At the very least, this is my place. Do you believe that I’ll use this thing to deal with you?” Seeing the Nine Nether Bird ignore him, Mu Chen could not help but feel a bit angry.

When the Nine Nether Bird heard this, the ridicule within its eyes increased and a special thought was conveyed out as Mu Chen became angry: “Despicable human, if you could control it, would you have to talk with me?”

“So you really knew how to communicate with humans!” When he was aware of these thoughts, Mu Chen’s heart jumped. No matter what, the Nine Nether Bird had finally communicated with him! However, during the communication, it had always looked down upon him and mocked him.

“You treacherous humans really know how to sweet-talk. You just took a fancy to my Soul Essence and wanted to attempt to ingest me. What a low quality method.” The Nine Nether Bird sent out cold thoughts over.

“Hmph, you seemed to have said it that way so that you’re quite honorable and just. Don’t you want to erase my consciousness? Moreover, it was entirely your fault. If you did not have bad thoughts, why would you be trapped inside my body?” Mu Chen sneered.

“You think you can trap me forever? My Nine Nether Bird’s clan possesses the blood of the Undying Bird. With your strength, it is impossible for you to kill me. My strength will gradually recover and when that happens, the first thing I’ll do is to kill you!” Viciousness was filled within the thoughts conveyed by the Nine Nether Bird.

“Then, why don’t you try it? We’ll see who will last until the end!”

Mu Chen grunted. He knew that it was impossible to negotiate with the Nine Nether Bird. This damn beast was too arrogant. It was simply impossible to discuss how they would mutually benefit.

Mu Chen’s consciousness gradually faded away and he opened his tightly closed eyes. Then, he pouted. This damn Nine Nether Bird…

“I must think of a way to get rid of this trouble, otherwise, it will become a calamity in the future.”

Mu Chen secretly thought to himself. He did not understand much about the Nine Nether Bird. If what it said was true, perhaps Mu Chen would be the one in trouble. Therefore, he must find a method to deal with this trouble.

However, Mu Chen knew that it wasn’t easy to think of a solution. The only thing right now that could restrain the Nine Nether Bird was the mysterious black paper within his body. However, Mu Chen did not obtain the slightest harvest when he re-examined it later. Therefore, there was no choice aside from giving up. Perhaps his strength was not enough, so he was not able to understand the mysteries of this mysterious black paper.

Thus, he could only slowly deal with the matter regarding the Nine Nether Bird.

In the next few days, Mu Chen did not give up hope and would occasionally head over to communicate with the Nine Nether Bird when he was resting. However, the latter completely ignored his words and laid down on top of the mandala flower. Its eyes were cold and were filled with ridicule. It was as if it was watching Mu Chen speaking a monologue.

After attempting several times, Mu Chen finally gave up on this naïve action of his. It seems that it was not feasible to reason with the Nine Nether Bird. He could only hurry and increase his strength. Once he advanced to the Spirit Stage, he would have the ability to ingest a Spiritual Beast’s Soul Essence. At that time, he would be able to cause a threat to this Nine Nether Bird.

When that happens, that damned feathery beast would look him directly in the eye.

After he temporarily gave up on the matter regarding the Nine Nether Bird, Mu Chen spent two days with Mister Wen Ling. Based on Mu Feng’s information, it seems that Mister Wen Ling was about to advance to a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master soon. If he succeeds, it would definitely be excellent news to the Mu Territory.
