Druid Fairy

Chapter 15 Centipede Contract, Revenge Plan

As the frenzied centipede lunged at him, Li Pingcan, panting heavily, steadied himself.

Because he couldn't find suitable insects, and adhering to the principle of "better to have none than something bad," he left the empty slot in his [Zerg Contract] slot open.

Now is the perfect time to subdue this centipede!
He focused intently on casting the spell [Zerg Pact], and as a gentle breeze caressed the centipede's body, a mental network was established between them.

From the depths of the giant centipede's heart came emotions of "fear, unease, and panic".

Li Pingcan was delighted, and his mindset relaxed.

The giant centipede became nervous, but he stopped being nervous.

He used the power of his consciousness to soothe the centipede. Perhaps it was the druid's affinity, but the centipede visibly calmed down, its red antennae twitching curiously, and the contract was completed naturally.

The whole process took only a few moments.

Li Pingfu arrived in an instant, raised his foot, and was about to stomp on the centipede!

Li Pingcan quickly used a sudden gust of wind to deflect his elder brother's stomping direction, and said urgently, "Brother, no, it won't hurt me."

Under Li Pingfu's astonished gaze, Li Pingcan performed a true art, turning the fierce and vicious centipede in his hands into an unbelievably obedient silkworm!

"They really didn't attack their younger brother?!"

Li Pingfu was both surprised and proud; his younger brother was indeed exceptionally talented.

He then frowned, "Who's trying to harm me? The centipede couldn't have just run in there by itself!"

Centipedes like to hide under rocks and soil. No matter how big a centipede is, it can't change its insect-like nature, so how could it possibly crawl into hot and stuffy clothes?

He had a vague suspicion in his heart, but the innocent boy was unwilling to think so badly of people.

Looking at his elder brother, who was sometimes dazed and sometimes angry, and knowing that the other party already suspected Li Fang, Li Pingcan didn't mince words, "It's just what elder brother thinks."

After the contract was signed, the centipede naturally trusted Li Pingcan, and the two communicated telepathically, which had an effect similar to animal conversation.

He thus learned that this centipede was already ten years old, which, in the centipede world, would place it at the level of a family ancestor. Furthermore, among martial artists, its venom was a rare medicinal herb, highly beneficial to their cultivation.

Originally, the centipede ancestor was living a life of luxury and comfort in the Li family, but unexpectedly, he was stolen away by Li Fang, an unfilial descendant of the Li family, just to bite Li Pingfu and avenge the humiliation of defeat.

"Now it's a bargain for me!"

Li Pingcan was secretly delighted.

Aside from the potentially dangerous three minutes that followed, the eldest brother escaped unharmed and even unexpectedly gained a "big medicine"!
Even if they can't sell the venom because of Li the landlord, they can use it secretly at home, and who would know?

Consider this the interest Li Fang owes for harming his elder brother!
…………

This matter could not possibly go unnoticed by Li Rongzhou, the head of the family.

Especially the short "ga ga ga" three-note code when Xiao Hei reports the news represents the highest level of crisis warning in the family.

After learning the whole story, Li Rongzhou looked at his eldest son, whose face was full of anger and confusion, and said, "You are the key to this matter. What are your thoughts? Tell me."

Li Pingfu remained silent for a long time.

He was trained by the ruthless "Black Tiger Kung Fu", but at heart he was still a sunny and cheerful young man. He admired and worshipped the upright and honest hero in the book and fantasized about becoming a "great hero" who would save the world.

He thought that martial artists used any means necessary as a tactic, not a matter of intention. In the end, his grudge against Li Fang was nothing more than the competitive spirit of peers, but he never expected that his fellow disciple would use this "ruthless" tactic against him.

This is both distressing and perplexing.

"Am I not ruthless enough?"

Li Pingfu asked blankly, "If I beat Li Fang into submission, would he still dare to use the centipede to harm him?"

Li Rongzhou smiled and said, "No matter how ruthless you are, you can't kill him, can you?"

Li Pingfu shook his head. Murder is a crime, and if Li Fang is killed, the wealthy Li family will never let it go. This is a lesson he learned three years ago.

It's extremely difficult to subdue Li Fang, given his pride and desire to save face; it could easily escalate into a fight to the death.

“Going back to the source, the whole thing started because of a moment of anger.”

Li Rongzhou said, "There's nothing wrong with martial artists competing for victory. The problem is that Li Fang is narrow-minded. His father is a prominent figure in the village with extensive connections, which can easily complicate simple matters. Your Master Zhou agreed to the sparring session because he wanted Li Fang to temper your arrogance, but he didn't expect you to be so outstanding."

The old father's gaze held both relief and regret.

Sometimes being too outstanding can be a mistake; the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind.

He suddenly drew his dagger, its cold light gleaming. "Look at this blade. When its sharpness is fully revealed, everyone will be wary and drawn all eyes..."

With a "whoosh," Li Rongzhou sheathed his dagger. "But if you keep your sword sheathed and unassuming, no one will notice it, and Li Fang will be even less likely to trip you up out of jealousy."

"Cang Feng, this is the first principle I want to teach you."

Li Pingfu's angry expression gradually returned to a calm of understanding, and he no longer felt disappointed, resentful, or angry.

How can one understand a father's good intentions without experiencing it firsthand?

Li Pingcan blinked. He had dismissed it in his previous life, but now he was learning it word by word.

He was also terrified by what happened today. If he hadn't been vigilant and kept a close eye on things, wouldn't Li Fang have achieved his goal?
This shows that a person's malice has nothing to do with age.

Li Pingcan understood the reasoning, but he was still angry and unwilling. "Father, my elder brother was almost poisoned. Are we just going to let this go like this?"

Li Pingfu hurriedly said, "It's all because of me. If I had given way to Li Fang back then, none of this would have happened. Now we might even have a feud with the Li family. How can I drag my family into this?" He looked guilty.

Li Rongzhou burst into laughter, picked up his youngest son, and said, "Can'er is right, we really can't let this go!"

Amidst Li Pingcan's delighted gaze and Li Pingfu's puzzled look, he said, "We can let things slide if it doesn't involve principles, but this kid Li Fang tried to take a life, so this matter is over!"

"If you dare touch my family, I'll fuck your balls!"

"This is the second lesson I want to teach you."

Li Rongzhou stared at his eldest son and solemnly said, "Pingfu, never forget the 'three parts of resentment' in the hearts of martial artists!"

...............

evening.

The night wind rustled the leaves on the branches, and Little Black stood on the branch on alert, its bright eyes keeping watch over everything around it.

After dinner, the family discussed important matters.

Qin hugged Li Pingfu tightly, both shocked and frightened, and wept uncontrollably, making Li Pingfu feel so ashamed that he could hardly sit still.

Li Ping'an said disdainfully to his older brother, "Has your brain been filled with muscles from practicing martial arts? Why did you offend Li Fang for no reason? His family is like dog shit, once you're smeared, you can't get rid of them!"

When Li Fang first entered the school, his younger brother Li Yuan took the lead in isolating him, but Li Fang secretly resolved the situation.

In retrospect, our initial counterattack was too conservative!

In an instant, many underhanded tricks flashed through Li Ping'an's mind, and he planned to let Li Yuan experience them!
The younger brother must repay his brother's debts!
"Big brother has already realized his mistake."

Li Pingcan squeezed Li Pingan's hand and then realized that his palm was covered in cold sweat. He secretly smiled, realizing that today's events had frightened his second brother quite a bit.

"The key to revenge lies with Can'er." Li Rongzhou looked at Li Pingcan, "Are you sure you can completely control the centipede?"

"of course."

Li Pingcan radiates confidence.

Now it's finally my insect companions' turn to appear!
