A Contract Is a Contract, Houtu, Don't You Touch Me!
..............................................................................................................
A few days later, at the foot of Mount Buzhou, the Sorcerer Tribe's encampment.
In a heavily-guarded forest garden, there was a verdant fiery red spiritual root that could support the sky and the earth.
Every leaf on the spirit root was like a burning flame. There were natural magical runes on the surface of the leaves, like ferocious fire dragons.
This Spiritual Root was the Red Cloud Dragon Pattern Tree, also known as the Zhurong Precious Tree. It was a high-grade Innate Spiritual Root.
Although the Zhurong Precious Tree was not as valuable as the ten Innate Spiritual Roots, it was still extremely precious. The Grand Wizard Zhurong treated it like his heart and had sent many Wizard Tribe warriors to guard the forest garden.
However, at this moment, a furry black and white iron-eating beast was lying on the branch of the Zhurong Precious Tree.
The Iron Eater was none other than Jiang Chen. He rubbed his chubby belly while opening his mouth and sucking in a high-grade spirit fruit, the Fire Cloud Dragon Mark Fruit.
Ding! The host has consumed a high-grade Connate Spiritual Fruit, Fire Cloud Dragon Mark Fruit. Cultivation 10, Fire Attribute Sensing Power 100.

A series of system notifications showed that Jiang Chen had eaten dozens of Fire Cloud Dragon Mark Fruits.
"Anyi ~ The fruits in Zhurong's family are so delicious. They're sweet and crispy, but there's too little. I almost finished them in less than half a day.”
Jiang Chen squinted his eyes as he lay on the tree and basked in the sun. With every breath, the fire attribute energy emitted by the tree was absorbed into his body, cleansing his body and removing the impurities.
At this moment, an angry roar sounded,"
"Damn it! You're here to steal my spiritual fruit again! Oh my god, you…you actually ate all the innate spirit fruits on the tree! My Fire Cloud Dragon Mark Fruit!”
A burly man covered in flames rushed over aggressively, glaring at Jiang Chen.
This burly man was the Grand Wizard of Fire, Zhurong. He was about to explode in anger. The flames above his head rose rapidly. He was really furious!
The heavens had taken pity on him. Ever since Houtu brought back an iron-eating beast from outside a few days ago, he had never had a peaceful day.
This iron eating beast was unusually lazy. Usually, it would lie motionless in front of Houtu's chest and sleep.
However, it had an extremely sensitive ability to detect spirit roots and spirit fruits. As long as it woke up, it would definitely sneak into the spirit garden of the Sorcerer Tribe and harm the spirit roots that countless Senior Sorcerers had painstakingly cultivated.
The key was that ordinary Spirit Roots and Spirit Fruits weren't even in its eyes, but Zhurong's Fire Cloud Dragon Pattern Tree was a disaster!
Every time Zhurong was careless, a few fruits would be missing from his Fire Cloud Dragon Pattern Tree.
When he wanted to settle the score with this damned Iron-eating Beast, it appeared in Houtu's arms and fell asleep again!
Houtu doted on this hateful fellow and didn't let Zhurong teach it a lesson at all.
Zhurong roared repeatedly,
"You lazy and greedy evil thief. In the past, I protected you. Today, I finally caught you. I'll teach you a lesson!”
"At worst, I'll kill you first and then find ten thousand Iron Eaters to apologize to my little sister!”
With that, he stretched out his huge palm, wanting to catch Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes in a daze and saw a huge hand covered in flames coming towards him.
Right at this moment, an angry voice shouted,"
"Fifth Brother! Stop!"
Zhurong's aggressive hand stopped on the spot.
"Little sister, what are you doing here?" he asked with a helpless smile.”
Hou Tu's beautiful figure appeared in Jiang Chen's sight. She snorted and said,
"I'm here to look for my little cutie. Fifth Brother, what were you doing just now?”
Zhurong and the other Ancestors of Sorcery loved Houtu the most. He could not bear to say harsh words to Houtu.
He could only helplessly say," Little sister, you should take care of your pet. My entire tree of Fire Cloud Dragon Pattern Fruits has been ruined by him!"”
"This is a high-grade innate spirit fruit! It can give birth to several Senior Magi for our Sorcerer Tribe! Now, it had eaten everything in a day!”
" It's not my pet," shouted Houtu." It's my friend. Fifth Brother is so stingy. What's the big deal of eating a few of your fruits?"”
With that, she picked Jiang Chen up, kissed and nibbled him, and held him tightly in her arms.
"No!" Jiang Chen couldn't help but struggle."Although we've made a contract, a contract is a contract. Houtu, don't touch me!"”
Of course, in the eyes of the two Ancestors of Sorcery, his voice became a childish cry, and Houtu could not help but feel her heart melt.
Zhurong was snubbed and said indignantly,
"Just let him be. Is a little guy in the Earth Celestial Stage worthy of your treatment? Sooner or later, I'll catch it and make soup with it!"
Although Jiang Chen had been rewarded with thirty thousand years of cultivation and half of Houtu's cultivation base, he was still an ordinary Iron Eater at the Earth Immortal realm on the surface. He couldn't even transform.
Zhurong had suffered a setback at Jiang Chen's hands, but another person laughed heartily.
"Haha, Zhurong, Zhurong, you're too stingy. It's just a few rotten fruits.”
The person who spoke was dressed in a black robe. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his entire body was surrounded by a cold aura.
This person was none other than the Ancestral Sorcerer of Water, Gonggong. He had always been at odds with Zhurong and fought endlessly.
Gonggong and Zhurong, one was the Ancestor of Water and the other was the Ancestor of Fire. They were incompatible. One was the fourth and the other was the fifth. Neither of them was convinced by the other.
The two of them naturally disliked each other and had fought countless times. Even their eldest brother, Di Jiang, could not persuade them.
Now that Zhurong was defeated, Gonggong was extremely happy.
Zhurong flew into a rage when it saw this and shouted,"Gong Gong, are you itching for a fight with me?”
" Fine!" Gong Gong laughed." Who's afraid of you?!" I can't stand your stingy look. What's wrong with my little sister's pet eating a few rotten fruits from you?”
"Even if I cut down your tree and burn it for firewood, it's still because I think highly of you.”
When Houtu heard this, she couldn't help but smile and say,"
"Fourth Brother is the best.”
Zhurong's expression froze. He didn't want to lose his prestige in front of Houtu and make it seem like he was more stingy than Gonggong.
"I'll let it go for the sake of my little sister!" he shouted, suppressing his anger.”
At this moment, Houtu's smiling eyes turned into two crescent moons as she said to Gong Gong sweetly,"
"If that's the case, you won't be angry if I pluck your Profound Yin Water Sunflower, right?”
She took out a few pieces of seaweed and placed them in front of Jiang Chen.
"Come, little cutie, try this. This is also a high-grade innate spiritual root.”
Gong Gong's mouth corners twitched, as he asked with difficulty,""Um…little sister, how much did you pluck?”
" Of course," said Houtu matter-of-factly." My little cutie will definitely like it very much."”
"Haha, Gong Gong, you've finally met your end!”Zhurong burst into laughter.
Gonggong was furious." Zhurong, you're courting death! Don't run! Fight me!"”
