Chapter 499: Chapter 260 – Fang Mu-style Trust! _3
Contemplating the ten-meter distance between himself and Fang Mu, the Wave Soul Horned Whale decided that given the speed of a human teenager, it could easily use its unique ability [Bless Star Wish] to turn into a soul body.
So, the Wave Soul Horned Whale returned to its physical form and started feasting on the sea fish in the basket.
Being neglected for a long time, even a refined lady or gentleman would wolf down food, not to mention a small whale that was not long in the world.
As the Wave Soul Horned Whale was happily eating, it didn’t notice that Fang Mu, who was sitting on the chair, had stood up.
A puff of blood red fog rose around Fang Mu’s feet.
In an instant, an afterimage sped by.
Fang Mu was already in front of the Wave Soul Horned Whale.
He planted his palm on the whale’s forehead, wrapping its soul in his spiritual power.
The unexpected turn of events startled the Wave Soul Horned Whale, and it immediately lost its appetite.
The Whale knew that if the human teenager in front of it infiltrated its soul with his spiritual power, it would immediately become the teenager’s Guardian Beast.
This was the last scenario the Wave Soul Horned Whale wanted to see.
Otherwise, the Whale wouldn’t have used its unique ability [Bless Star Wish] after it had been captured and severely injured!
At this moment, the Wave Soul Horned Whale felt as though it had been deceived.
From the start, the human teenager had stabilized its injuries with a Life Elixir, had been kind to it, and said that his mother would pick him up within two hours.
He had also prepared delicious food for it.
Was everything just to deceive it?
At this moment, the Wave Soul Horned Whale had trusted a human for the first time.
Since as long as the Wave Soul Horned Whale could remember, its mother had constantly warned it not to become a human’s Guardian Beast.
Once it became a human’s Guardian Beast, it would not only lose its freedom but also its long lifespan.
With luck, the human could become a powerful being, living for three to five hundred years.
With no luck, the human could die during the growth process, and it would follow the weak human into death!
Just as the Wave Soul Horned Whale was falling into pessimism and on the verge of tears.
A clear and bright voice from the teenager echoed in its ears.
“You don’t really need to be so apprehensive around me; I don’t have any ill intentions towards you.”
“Otherwise, I could have made you my Guardian Beast directly now.”
“Keep eating, let me know if there is not enough.”
“I am not sure about your appetite, hence I did not ask people to prepare too much.”
“Wastefulness isn’t a good habit!”
Fang Mu talked to the Wave Soul Horned Whale all by himself.
Fang Mu knew the Whale must be very scared at this moment, but he decided to help it desensitize itself in the most straightforward way.
He made the Whale realize that it was safe around him, and there was no need to be on guard!
This method of desensitization is often used by animal shelters on highly guarded but intelligent cats and dogs.
As Fang Mu has found out, this method is also useful for the Wave Soul Horned Whale!
Fang Mu withdrew his spiritual power from the Whale’s soul and stopped wrapping the Whale’s soul in his spiritual power.
The Wave Soul Horned Whale quickly activated [Bless Star Wish] to move away from Fang Mu, but in no time, it came back next to the fish basket, returned to its physical form, and resumed its enjoyable meal.
The fact that Fang Mu did not harm it when he had the absolute power to do so was enough to prove Fang Mu’s good intentions.
It made the Whale believe in Fang Mu’s words.
It was indeed this human teenager in front of it who had saved him.
The Wave Soul Horned Whale did not finish all the fish in the fish basket. After leaving a small portion, it sincerely thanked Fang Mu.
Seeing this, Fang Mu smiled, thinking to himself.
Don’t be in a hurry to thank me; you’ll have plenty more chances to thank me later!
Fang Mu was sure that once he showed the Soul Whale Princess that he could help the Wave Soul Horned Whale advance in quality and even in bloodline.
The Soul Whale Princess will definitely seek his help.
Then he will use that opportunity to start negotiating terms with the Soul Whale Princess.
Fang Mu put his hand on the whale’s horn and gently stroked it a few times.
Fang Mu was quite curious about the horn of the Wave Soul Horned Whale.
Fang Mu believed that those brothers from his previous life who liked to collect unique items would have done everything in their power to carve beads out of the horn of the Wave Soul Horned Whale if they ever saw one.
Fang Mu didn’t know that his gentle touch would cause the Wave Soul Horned Whale to shudder violently like an electric shock.
Then, even though the Wave Soul Horned Whale had completely trusted him, it still used its unique ability [Bless Star Wish] and reverted back to its soul body state.
Fang Mu could feel that the Wave Soul Horned Whale was looking at him with a weird gaze at this moment.
This strange gaze was something Fang Mu found quite unfamiliar.
In Fang Mu’s memory, he had interacted with so many animals in his previous life, but none of them had ever looked at him like this.
Meanwhile, at the Gao Family, Gao Hongying was facing a dilemma.
Gao Hongying had never thought that after presenting the sea-divine beast he had caught to Fang Mu, Fang Mu would actually ask him to name his price!
Instead of providing a definitive price himself.
Gao Hongying had a clear price in mind for this particular sea divine-beast, otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to an amount of 1.5 billion Dragon Rising Coin for the Zhao Family.
This sum of money had already been sent to the Zhao Family, and the contract had been signed.
The captured sea-divine beast no longer had any relation with the Zhao family.
This allowed the Gao Family to pocket all resources coming from the creator resulting from their trades for themselves.
But Fang Mu may not agree to his valuation.
What if Fang Mu thought he had overpriced it, was asking for an arm and a leg?
Then it wouldn’t be just about maintaining a good relationship with Fang Mu in the future, but even whether this transaction could smoothly proceed would be an unknown!
Gao Hongying thought about generously telling Gao Wenyuan to say,
If Fang Mu liked it, just gift this whale-type divine beast directly to Fang Mu.
Based on Fang Mu’s personality and quality displayed during the trade meeting, Fang Mu certainly wouldn’t take his things for free.
But because the matter was of great importance, Gao Hongying dared not gamble on Fang Mu’s character.
What if Fang Mu really agreed? The Gao Family would be at a serious loss!
