In the forest, Yi Yi sat on the Titan Ape's shoulder, letting the Titan Ape be her guide here.
"Human fairy, didn't you promise to let me go?" the Titan Ape asked as it walked.
"I did promise to let you go, but I didn't promise to let you leave!" Yi Yi said in a crisp voice.
"What's the difference?" The Titan Ape's lantern-like eyes were full of confusion.
"Of course there is." Yi Yi explained earnestly, "You just said to let you go, which can be understood as I could have killed you, but now I'm sparing your life, that's letting you go."
"But letting you leave is different. Letting you leave is directly letting you go. Think about it carefully, aren't there big differences between the two?"
After hearing this, the Titan Ape actually started thinking seriously, which made Mu Qingyi, who was secretly following, couldn't help but smile wryly.
This little girl, Yi Yi, is obviously using sophistry and playing word games, but she didn't expect this Titan Ape to actually start thinking.
Looking at those eyes as big as lanterns, she could see the clear stupidity in the Titan Ape's eyes.
"Although I feel like what you said is a bit wrong, it seems to make sense. In that case, what do you want me to do to let me leave?" After thinking for a long time, the Titan Ape still couldn't figure out what was wrong, and even wanted to negotiate terms with Yi Yi again.
Mu Qingyi secretly shook her head.
If this race goes extinct one day, it will definitely be from stupidity.
But this girl, Yi Yi, seems to like this honest giant ape very much, which can be considered its opportunity.
As for Yi Yi, facing the Titan Ape's question, she said with a smile, "As long as you follow me as my mount, I'll take you out of the Demon Suppression Tower, how about that?"
"Really?" Even if the Titan Ape was naive, it knew what leaving the Demon Suppression Tower meant.
But it quickly became skeptical.
"You wouldn't be lying to me, would you?" The Titan Ape's IQ went online at this time. As the overlord of this area, it had never heard of any demon beasts being taken out of the Demon Suppression Tower.
"I never lie," Yi Yi said seriously.
"I'm not human," the Titan Ape said honestly.
"Uh..."
Yi Yi was stunned for a moment. In her impression, the words "not human" were often used as an insult, but she glanced at this big guy, okay, it's indeed not human.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't lie to you. What's more, after you become my mount, I have to take you wherever I go. I won't stay in the Demon Suppression Tower permanently, I have to leave, right?" Yi Yi said.
"Yeah!" The Titan Ape nodded. That's right, outsiders wouldn't stay for long unless they died here.
As a training ground, the Seven Stars Sword Sect's disciples naturally couldn't come out with 100% safety. Trials always have casualties.
Seeing the Titan Ape nod, Yi Yi continued, "When I leave, you're my mount, wouldn't I have to take you with me? Besides, even if I don't take you with me, you won't lose anything, right?"
"Human fairy, what you said makes a lot of sense, but if you want me to be your mount, you have to agree to one condition."
The Titan Ape said, its expression very serious and earnest, making Yi Yi, who was sitting on its shoulder, couldn't help but restrain her smile.
"Tell me!" Yi Yi said. Although she liked this honest big guy very much, keeping it by her side would definitely be very pleasing. But if the Titan Ape's conditions were too harsh, she could choose not to keep it.
"I want to eat three meals of meat every day. If you can agree to this condition, I will be your mount."
The Titan Ape said.
"Eat three meals of meat every day?" Yi Yi stood up, flew in front of the Titan Ape, and looked at the Titan Ape in surprise. She thought that the Titan Ape's expression was so serious and its tone was so solemn, it would propose some harsh conditions, but now after hearing it...
Is that it?
But looking at Yi Yi's surprised expression, the Titan Ape thought that its condition was too much. It couldn't help but lower its head and said, "Two meals are fine, if it really doesn't work, one meal is also fine."
"Puchi!"
Yi Yi couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. This honest big guy was too interesting. Taking it back to show her grandmaster would definitely make her grandmaster laugh.
"I agree," Yi Yi said with a smile.
"One meal?" The Titan Ape asked.
Yi Yi shook her head and said, "You can eat as much as you want."
"Really?" The Titan Ape's eyes lit up.
Yi Yi nodded.
"Okay, from now on, I, Tai Tiedan, am the mount of this human fairy." The Titan Ape happily shouted out its demon clan true name.
In the Titan clan, only the closest people are told their true name. At this moment, the Titan Ape revealed its true name, indicating that it had completely recognized Yi Yi.
But this name...
"You're called Tai Tiedan?" Yi Yi misheard and thought the Titan Ape was called Tai Tiedan. Recalling the scene where the other party ran away as soon as it saw her, it had nothing to do with being brave at all!
"Master, it's Tai Tiedan!" Tai Tiedan reiterated its name.
"What?" Yi Yi looked at it in shock. Tai Tiedan is also considered a name?
"My dad said that I was weak and sickly when I was born, so he gave me a lowly name, saying it would be easier to raise," Tai Tiedan explained.
As soon as Yi Yi heard this, she immediately thought of some folk customs. In some remote mountain villages, some children's names are Gou'dan (Dog's Egg), Tiewa (Iron Child). Mountain village resources are scarce, and giving a lowly name is to make it easier to raise.
Isn't Tai Tiedan's name equivalent to Gou'dan?
Thinking of this, Yi Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Master, I don't know what your name is?" Tai Tiedan asked.
"Yi Yi, easy as in easy, one as in one, two, three," Yi Yi said.
"Yi Yi? Who came up with this name, it's too casual, it's not as good as my Tiedan," Tai Tiedan started to ridicule the person who named her in front of Yi Yi.
"What do you know? As the saying goes, the Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. I am that one," Yi Yi said unhappily.
"Oh!" Tai Tiedan responded.
Although it didn't know what the master was saying, it sounded very impressive, and it must be very reasonable.
"Enough nonsense, do you have any enemies that you have conflicts with but can't beat? Take me there, I'll help you deal with them." Yi Yi didn't forget her purpose of entering the Demon Suppression Tower.
"Yes, but I can't let you take action, Master. We, the Titan Ape clan, have always been head-on, and we won't use other forces." Tai Tiedan's honest voice sounded.
"Stop talking nonsense, take me there quickly, or I'll stop giving you food." Yi Yi's little face was serious, and she threatened Tai Tiedan.
"Don't... I'll take you there, Master."
Between race's demon virtue and food, Tai Tiedan chose the latter without hesitation.
After all, it would starve to death without food. Only by living can it maintain its demon virtue.
Tai Tiedan thought silently in its heart.
...
"Tai Tiedan, you're shameless, you're actually colluding with the human race, I won't let you go even if I go to hell."
...
