God of Pets-Chapter 581: Qiongqi

"Hey, big brother, if you don't want to lend it, I can also pay to buy it, or exchange a Secret Treasure or pet with you. What do you think?" Xia Guagua thought Chen Guan was in a dilemma, so he immediately spoke.

"What Secret Treasures or pets do you have to exchange for my Mountain-Opening Axe?" Chen Guan wanted to hear what Xia Guagua was really up to, wondering if he came here expecting something good.

Xia Guagua replied, "I have a Secret Divine Treasure called the Nine-Bell Whip, and a Secret Divine Pet, Qiongqi. But regarding Qiongqi, our old man said if we lose it, he'll break our legs, so it's a no-go for the exchange. If you agree, I'll trade the Nine-Bell Whip for your Mountain-Opening Axe. Although the destructive power of the Nine-Bell Whip isn't as strong as the Mountain-Opening Axe and finds it hard to penetrate Wu Zhiqi's defenses, it does have an advantage. It has a strong shattering effect on hard objects and comes with a Sound Wave Attack that can disrupt the opponent's focus, making it difficult for them to guard against the whip's attack."

As he spoke, Xia Guagua summoned a strangely shaped weapon that looked like a mace, but with a bell attached between each segment, and tossed it directly to Chen Guan.

Chen Guan was slightly taken aback, secretly channeling Primordial Energy to hold the Nine-Bell Whip, wary that Xia Guagua had done something to it.

But he found no issues upon examination. The Nine-Bell Whip truly was a Secret Divine Artifact.

Secret Treasure: Nine-Bell Whip (Secret God).

Level: 60.

Special: Growable.

"Aren't you afraid I'll just take your Nine-Bell Whip and leave? You might forget you can't catch up with me," Chen Guan said, watching Xia Guagua with a peculiar expression.

"The members of the Purple Sun Corps are heroes who stand tall and proud. They wouldn't do such a thing," Xia Guagua replied, taking it for granted.

Chen Guan blushed. He actually harbored such thoughts earlier.

After pondering, Chen Guan tossed the Nine-Bell Whip back to Xia Guagua. Even if he didn't want to lose face himself, the Purple Sun Corps had their reputation to consider, so he couldn't covet it while flying their banner.

"If you don't value the Nine-Bell Whip, then I can only exchange Qiongqi with you, but our old man..." Xia Guagua hesitated.

"I'm not exchanging my Mountain-Opening Axe," Chen Guan interrupted Xia Guagua.

What Chen Guan needed most now was the unparalleled defense-breaking power of the Mountain-Opening Axe. Among Secret Divine Artifacts of the same level, few could match the Mountain-Opening Axe's ability to break defenses.

Given Chen Guan's current low level, what he lacked most was defense-breaking capability. Using another Secret Divine Artifact wouldn't be as effective as the Mountain-Opening Axe.

Seeing Xia Guagua's troubled expression, Chen Guan smiled and said, "While I can't lend or sell you the Mountain-Opening Axe, I can help you kill Wu Zhiqi."

"That'd be fantastic," Xia Guagua exclaimed, overjoyed.

Chen Guan immediately added, "I can help you kill without charging a fee, but I have one condition. You must pledge Qiongqi to me as collateral, and I'll return it to you when I leave."

"No problem, it's just a collateral pledge, that shouldn't be an issue," Xia Guagua said, passing a pet to Chen Guan.

Upon receiving it, Chen Guan saw it was indeed a Secret God-level pet, Qiongqi.

Qiongqi (Secret God): Level 60 Spirit Pet.

Primordial Energy: 534

Growth Rate: 3.0

Lifebound Talent: Ancient Fierce Beast (Secret God).

Secret Technique: Qiongqi Secret Technique (Secret God).

Secret Skill: Punishment of Sin (Secret God).

Secret Treasure: None

Secret Collection: Ancient Wind God (Secret God).

Celestial Destiny Star: Fierce Star.

Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure: Ancient Wilderness Crown (Secret God)

Secret Collection 2: Ancient Fierce Slayer (Secret God).

After examining Qiongqi's attributes, Chen Guan could only acknowledge it as a top-tier pet, with only the Paperman having superior attributes while Ming Fei was comparable.

Summoning Qiongqi revealed a mighty tiger with double wings on its back, crowned and with an extremely savage expression.

"You're really not afraid I'll run off with your pet?" Chen Guan asked, watching Xia Guagua with a strange expression.

"I said the members of the Purple Sun Corps wouldn't do something sordid like that. I absolutely trust you," Xia Guagua replied seriously.

"Alright, I'll accompany you and help you eliminate Wu Zhiqi," Chen Guan pondered for a moment before ultimately deciding to go.

With this Qiongqi by his side, even if the Xia Family had some plot against him, he could escape, and rightfully claim Qiongqi then.

"Then let's hurry, time waits for no one," Xia Guagua urged.

"Xiaolong, I'll send you back to Ice City first. If someone troubles you, don't fight back, just go with them. The Purple Sun Corps won't let its people be bullied for nothing," Chen Guan decided not to take Ma Xiaolong along, lest he gets caught up in the tumult.

This trip was to kill Wu Zhiqi, not to draw a sword, hence Xiaolong's presence was unnecessary.

Ma Xiaolong agreed, and Chen Guan first sent him back before heading to the Xia Family's outpost with Xia Guagua. They camped near Wu Zhiqi's territory, controlling the surrounding areas to prevent previous issues from recurring, such as having their Water-Resistant Sword stolen again.

"Big brother, Sister Hua, I've brought him back," Xia Guagua reported triumphantly to Xia Huang and Xia Hua upon returning to the outpost.

Seeing Chen Guan following Xia Guagua, Xia Huang and Xia Hua's eyes lit up.

"Guagua, I'm truly impressed with you this time. You actually managed to bring him back!" Xia Hua exclaimed happily.

"Not at all, I didn't capture him. I invited this big brother to bring the Mountain-Opening Axe and help us kill Wu Zhiqi," Xia Guagua said.

Both Xia Hua and Xia Huang were dumbfounded, thinking this guy might be planning to steal the Water-Resistant Sword again.

"What did you offer him in return for his help?" Xia Hua had a bad feeling.

"This big brother is really nice. He's not charging me a fee, just asked me to pledge Qiongqi as collateral, and he'll return it to me after killing Wu Zhiqi," Xia Guagua boasted, feeling he handled the matter well.

Xia Hua and Xia Huang's expressions changed. Qiongqi was one of the few top-tier Secret Divine Pets of the Xia Family. Even they didn't have such powerful pets; only Xia Guagua, being their grandfather's favorite, was exceptionally given Qiongqi.

"You silly kid, what did grandpa say when he gave you Qiongqi?" Xia Hua scolded, trembling with anger.

"Grandpa said not to lose Qiongqi. I listened to him. This is just a pledge, and this big brother will return it to me after killing Wu Zhiqi," Xia Guagua said.

Both Xia Hua and Xia Huang were left speechless. Could such a Secret Divine Pet in someone else's possession really be returned?

"Aren't you guys trying to kill Wu Zhiqi? I can assist you with the Mountain-Opening Axe," Chen Guan, knowing what the two were thinking, remarked nonchalantly.

He simply didn't want the Purple Sun Corps' reputation tarnished before someone like Xia Guagua, hence he agreed to help.

"Alright, that'll be much appreciated," Xia Huang gritted his teeth and nodded, but he was plotting in his heart to set up a battle array. If this person tried to grab the Water-Resistant Sword and run off like last time, he couldn't be allowed to succeed.

Such a Secret Divine Pet as Qiongqi cannot be allowed to fall into outsider hands.

Chen Guan just watched coldly. If the Xia Family really attempted something against him, it would be ideal, as he could then rightfully take Qiongqi for himself.
