God of Pets

Chapter 405 A Battle of Reciprocity
Everyone was speechless. How could they possibly bargain with the Mystic Spirit like this?

However, they also understood Chen Guan to some extent. Xiu Jieming was clearly sending Chen Guan to his death, and it was understandable that Chen Guan would use all sorts of means to save his life.

But the Mystic Spirit isn't so easy to talk to. What do you mean by "stopping at the right point"? Do you think this female genitalia is just a sparring partner?

Hu Quan sneered inwardly: "This Chen Guan will stop at nothing to save his life, he has no shame whatsoever. It's just a pity that your sweet talk might work on a woman like Miss Ji, but it won't work on Mi Ling."

"Yes." The female general's answer surprised everyone, and Hu Quan stood there stunned for a long time.

"You can do that?!" Everyone looked at each other with strange expressions.

If the female general had truly stopped short of killing him, then Chen Guan would have truly escaped with his life.

They had some doubts about whether the female genitalia would actually keep her promise and only touch the target area.

“It’s a deal,” Chen Guan quickly agreed.

He didn't think he would lose, and he knew that Xiu Jieming had sent him up not to send him to his death, but to give him a chance to enter the Emperor's Tomb.

However, Chen Guan could sense that a pair of eyes were watching him all the way, and they were not from the Bright Army, so he did not want to reveal too much.

The female general nodded, standing there without taking the initiative to make a move.

Chen Guan condensed a blood handprint and slapped it towards the female Yin General, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how to defeat her.

The female Yin General is incredibly powerful; even a level 30 cultivator like Meng Xian was defeated so easily. It would be impossible to defeat her using ordinary methods.

Chen Guan did not wish to use all his strength and expose his true power.

The less the enemy knows about him, the safer he is.

With a palm strike, Chen Guan expected to face a fierce counterattack. After all, the female Yin General's strength and level were far superior to Chen Guan's, who was only strong due to his skills and energy.

But to everyone's surprise, the female general did not retaliate; she simply dodged Chen Guan's palm strike.

Chen Guan unleashed a series of palm strikes, then was somewhat surprised to find that the female Yin General did not retaliate at all, but simply used her agility to dodge his bloody handprints.

Chen Guan unleashed more than a dozen palm strikes in succession, but the female general dodged them all without retaliating even once.

"It's here again...it's here again..." Xiu Jieming thought to himself as he smelled the familiar scent.

Back in Chunyang Temple, everyone else had to work hard to take the test, but Chen Guan's test was like child's play, clearly indicating that the spirit had gone easy on him.

Xiu Jieming originally thought that the reason why Chunyang Temple went easy on Chen Guan was because Chen Guan's talent matched the Chunyang Temple's heritage, so he received preferential treatment.

But now that the secret spirit of this imperial tomb is also letting things slide, it seems unlikely that it's a matter of talent.

The Chunyang Temple follows the Chunyang lineage of Taoism.

This place is filled with yin energy and is inhabited by ghostly spirits; it is absolutely impossible for it to be the same place as Chunyang Nunnery.

It's impossible for Chen Guan to possess two such extreme talents alone, right?
The others, like Xiu Jieming, watched Chen Guan launch his attack on the stage with complicated expressions.

Hu Quan's brows were so furrowed they could almost trap a fly, and he thought to himself, "This Chen Guan is really lucky. He actually encountered a mysterious spirit with high intelligence who is also so easy to talk to."

Chen Guan himself felt very strange. Anyone could see that the female general was holding back, so how could he not see it?

But he couldn't understand why the female genitals would release water for him.
The reason Chunyang Nunnery went easy on him during the test was because he carried the Peony Fairy, which the nunnery's spirits recognized, hence their leniency.

Chen Guan didn't know anyone in the imperial tomb, so he couldn't understand why the female general would release water.

"Could it be that the female Yin General has some ulterior motive towards me because she thinks I'm good-looking?" Chen Guan wondered to himself. Chen Guan moved his feet and soon unleashed dozens of bloody handprints, all of which the female Yin General dodged.

The female general didn't fight back at all, holding back so much that Chen Guan couldn't use any underhanded tricks. He didn't even use his full strength, and the fight was incredibly peaceful and prosperous.

"Take my palm strike too. This palm strike is called the Netherworld Palm, a secret technique of extreme yin and cold..." Before the female general unleashed her palm strike, she even announced her moves, almost telling Chen Guan how to dodge.

The audience was stunned. Why could they smell the putrid stench of adultery in such a ghostly place? It seemed completely out of place with the tense atmosphere, like flirting on a grave.

"Is this Chen Guan poisonous?"

"I suspect he has a talent for seduction."

"Of course there is. I was wondering how someone from such a background could gain Miss Ji's favor. So that's how it is."

"Is this a naturally gifted body that can live off a woman?"

The soldiers watched with incredibly complex expressions.

Meng Xian was completely numb; he almost got beaten to a pulp when he went up there. Chen Guan, on the other hand, really stopped short of defeat. He should have asked for the matter to end shortly afterward.

The fight on the stage was less of a duel and more of a friendly exchange.

Chen Guan dodged the Netherworld Palm of the female Yin General, and retaliated with a Xuanming Yin Fire Palm, shouting, "You try my Xuanming Yin Fire Palm too..."

Chen Guan didn't kill, and neither did the female ghost. The two fought back and forth, a truly tit-for-tat battle.

Hu Quan felt like vomiting just watching. He wished he could go up there himself, punch the man and the ghost on the stage twice, and kill them both, so they could stop disgusting people from doing that.

Hu Quan now strongly suspects that Chen Guan has a talent for seduction, and a very strong one at that, otherwise how could he have made the female general perform like this?

"Young master is indeed exceptionally talented. I am no match for you. You have passed my test." After fighting for a while, the female Yin general suddenly withdrew from the battle and chose to admit defeat.

"Holy crap... they're not even going to act anymore..."

"damn thing!"

"Is this okay?"

"That's amazing! I've made up my mind. I want to become Chen Guan's apprentice and learn his techniques."

"Tell me more clearly, what skill do you want to learn?"

"..."

"Commander, I have not failed you in your mission." Chen Guan clasped his hands in a fist salute as he reported to the audience from the stage.

"Very well, you can wait here for now." Xiu Jieming's gaze towards Chen Guan was somewhat complicated, and he thought to himself, "Does this guy really have a talent for seduction? If Xiao Mei marries him, can she keep her?"

Chen Guan himself was baffled, but he passed the test of the female yin general and waited on the side for the others to be tested.

"Anyone else want to take on the challenge?" the woman asked, scanning the crowd below the stage.

"Commander, please let me go into battle." Zheng Hai, the battalion commander of the Third Battalion, volunteered to go into battle.

"Third Battalion Commander, be careful. If we are outnumbered, we can withdraw from the battlefield immediately," Xiu Jieming instructed, lest they fight to the death without his orders and miss their chance to survive.

"Don't worry, Commander, I'll definitely pass this test," Zheng Hai said confidently.
