Chapter 338 Taking it as a pet
The black bear was trembling all over. It could clearly feel the killing intent emanating from Xiao Qiushui and just wanted to turn around and run away, even if it meant giving up the Divine Soul Grass.
However, under the suppression of the Qiongqi bloodline, it couldn't stand up at all, and couldn't even escape.
Just as the longsword was about to strike, the black bear, in a moment of quick thinking, slammed its massive head to the ground with a thud, and knelt down on its two front paws, uttering mournful cries as it approached Xiao Qiushui.
"My God, what's going on?"
"This big black bear actually knelt down to this madman again?"
"Is it truly going to submit to Xiao Qiushui and become his slave?"
Xiao Qiushui was almost swallowed whole by the black bear, leaving everyone speechless.
Aside from the people from the Star Palace, almost everyone hoped that the black bear would swallow Xiao Qiushui so they could steal the Divine Soul Grass in the chaos.
But at this moment, the big black bear actually submitted, and everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces full of disbelief.
"Big bear, are you truly willing to submit to me, to become my servant and follow me? Or are you trying to deceive me and take the opportunity to devour me?"
Xiao Qiushui's long sword hovered above the black bear's head as he coldly asked, his bloodline aura not concealed at this moment.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
The black bear roared three more times, its massive head slamming into the ground with a resounding thud, causing the entire mountain to tremble.
It was truly terrified now, fearing that Xiao Qiushui might kill it in a fit of anger.
It had clearly sensed that the tiny human before it possessed the bloodline of an ancient divine beast, and the most ferocious of all, a bloodline it could never hope to attain.
"Since you truly submit, then swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao now!"
Xiao Qiushui said coldly.
He had heard Qinghe Daoist say many times that once a cultivator makes a vow to the Heavenly Dao, he will be locked onto by the Heavenly Dao. If he breaks the vow, he will be hunted down by the Heavenly Dao and his soul will be destroyed.
Although this big black bear is not a human cultivator, it is a powerful spirit beast just like human cultivators, and the Heavenly Oath should also have the same binding force on it.
Make a vow to Heaven?
Although the black bear could not speak human language, as a spirit beast equivalent to the peak of the Golden Core stage in humans, it was already sentient and naturally understood Xiao Qiushui's meaning, and immediately fell silent.
“Don’t want to?
"Then die now!"
Xiao Qiushui raised her longsword and slashed down.
The black bear is too powerful; unless it makes a solemn vow to Heaven, it is not truly submitting.
If it turns on you later and swallows you whole while you're sleeping or cultivating, then you'll be in real trouble.
The black bear's heart skipped a beat. It quickly roared twice, then lowered its body towards the sky, calling out continuously.
Although no one could understand the black bear's roar, they all knew that it was truly making a vow to follow Xiao Qiushui, this madman.
Almost everyone was filled with envy at this moment. A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage could actually subdue a Golden Core peak spirit beast as a servant. This was truly amazing, prestigious, and domineering.
Humans have human speech, and animals have animal language.
Although the black bear cannot speak human language, its animal vows are still recognized by the Heavenly Way.
Just after the black bear made his vow, a thunderclap suddenly rang out in the sky, followed by a bolt of lightning.
The black bear trembled violently, sensing that its soul was being locked by a mysterious power—the legendary power of the Heavenly Dao.
It knew perfectly well that if it betrayed Xiao Qiushui, it would be punished by Heaven and die under the divine might of Heaven.
In other words, from this moment on, it truly became the servant of this tiny human race, and could never betray it.
Everyone present watched in awe as Heaven issued its warning.
It turns out that there really is a Heavenly Dao in the dark, and the Heavenly Dao Oath truly possesses the power of the Heavenly Dao. Whether it is human or beast, all living things in the world are bound by the Heavenly Dao.
At that very moment, Xiao Qiushui clearly felt that the black bear had truly become her servant, and there was an inexplicable master-servant relationship between the two.
He felt a surge of satisfaction, and once again gently stroked the black bear's massive head, laughing heartily: "Big bear, very good, very good. Don't worry, follow me, I won't treat you badly, I will definitely make you even stronger."
However, since you've followed me, I can't call you Big Bear anymore, and Big Black Bear doesn't sound good either. Anyway, anything with "bear" in it isn't very nice. How about I give you a name?
Xiao Qiushui kept talking, and Black Bear nodded repeatedly as he listened.
It seems that their species is born with unpleasant names. No matter what they are called, they always have the word "bear" in their names. It really hopes that Xiao Qiushui can give it a nice name.
"How about I call you Big Black?"
Looking at the black bear's massive body, Xiao Qiushui frowned and thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good name, so she said...
Upon hearing this, the people around burst out laughing, and the black bear was also speechless, letting out two consecutive "roars" in protest.
"Isn't 'Big Black' a good name? How about I call you 'Little Black'?"
"You're so dark-skinned, your name has to include the word 'dark,' but we can't include 'bear,' so let's call you Little Black!"
Xiao Qiushui thought for a moment, then said with a smile.
But the black bear still shook its head.
"Alright, it's settled then! What's wrong with calling me 'Little Black'? You'll get used to it after a while!"
"If I don't call you Little Black, should I call you Little Bear, Dog Bear, or Black Bear?"
Perhaps naming a child is too difficult for Xiao Qiushui, he said somewhat unhappily.
Seeing his anger, the big black bear immediately lost its temper and fell silent.
"It's settled then, from now on you'll be called Xiao Hei!"
"Get up and bring me the Soul-Binding Grass!"
Looking at the countless pairs of envious and admiring eyes around her, Xiao Qiushui felt even more proud and raised her head high to give orders to the black bear.
Sure enough, at his command, the big black bear "Xiao Hei" slowly got up from the ground.
Its massive, mountain-like body stood before Xiao Qiushui, making Xiao Qiushui seem like an ant compared to an elephant. Xiao Qiushui was far too small; the black bear could easily crush him with a single stomp.
Yet this enormous creature walked dejectedly toward the Divine Soul Grass.
It stared at the Divine Soul Grass from left to right, full of reluctance, before finally gritting its teeth, stretching out its forepaw to pluck the Divine Soul Grass and tossing it to Xiao Qiushui.
Everyone could see that the big black bear was filled with rage, as if the Soul Grass was its lifeblood.
"Alright, Xiao Hei, it's just a 300,000-year-old Divine Soul Grass, is it really that big of a deal?"
"Just follow me closely, and you'll have plenty of treasures like these whenever you need them. I'll get you one that's 500,000 years old, or even 1 million years old!"
Xiao Qiushui put the Divine Soul Grass into her storage bag and patted Xiao Hei's paw to comfort him.
Upon hearing this, everyone curled their lips in disapproval. A 300,000-year-old Divine Soul Grass, which you obtained through deception and trickery, and you're already promising someone something even better? Only this black bear would believe that.
The crowd, who had previously held the black bear in awe, couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for it.
"Little Black, you live in this secret realm, you must know where there are still good things. Take me there now, and I'll snatch them for you right now!"
Xiao Qiushui suddenly had a thought and quickly asked a question via telepathy, which only Xiao Hei could hear.
"If I needed other good things, would you really be willing to take them from me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but respond telepathically.
