Mowenjie looked at the black dragon, and I said, "Can't you be mature? I'm really worried about your intelligence. You being the ruler of the Twenty Heavens is a surprise. If it's like this everywhere in the heavens, I feel like ascending here was a mistake. I really don't know how the heavens have been plagued by the Three Pure Ones to such an extent; it's just unacceptable!
The black dragon listened and looked at Mowenjie, "Are you being too bold? Even daring to question the Three Pure Ones, don't you fear being punished by heaven and sent back to the mortal world?"
Mowenjie looked at the black dragon and shook his head. "Of course, I'm not afraid. I just flew up here recently, so being sent back to my original form isn't a big deal. I haven't achieved anything yet and have nothing to regret, so I'm not afraid of their heavenly punishment!"
The black dragon said this, then looked at Mowenjie and raised a thumb. "You're really awesome, not afraid of the Three Pure Ones. You're like the number one person in the heavens. I'm very impressed by your courage. Who would have thought you were just someone who just ascended to heaven? And yet, you dare to talk about the Three Pure Ones so boldly. I'm ashamed of my own shortcomings!"
Mowenjie listened and looked at the black dragon, "Stop yammering here. If you have the guts, go directly to settle scores with the Three Pure Ones. Don't be weird here and there. I get annoyed when I see people like you. You're too cowardly to speak up yourself, and yet you dare to mock me here. What kind of person have you become? Still trying to look down on others while you're in such a pitiful state? Your heart is really big. I'm completely impressed!"
The black dragon looked at Mowenjie and laughed heartily, "I'm not mocking you. I'm genuinely impressed by you. For all these years, no one has dared to speak about the Three Pure Ones in such a manner. You're the first and perhaps the last. It's truly unprecedented both before and after your time. I'm truly inferior to you, although I also hope to be like you. However, my temperament hasn't reached your level yet, and I can't help but feel humbled by it. Suddenly, I feel a strong urge to make a pact with you. We could become fraternal brothers! Although I've been exiled here, I'm still a deity from heaven, so making such a pact won't tarnish your reputation either. It seems like a good idea to me. What do you think?"
Mowenjie shook his head at the black dragon upon hearing this, "I'm not interested in making a pact with you. Just because I've just ascended doesn't mean I don't have room to rise further. What's the point of us making a pact? Are you trying to say I'm dumb? Fraternal brothers are supposed to help each other, and if I made a pact with you, you wouldn't be able to help me either. You're in such a mess yourself; what can you do for me? Are you just wanting me to chat with you here?"
The black dragon was not pleased with what Mowenjie said. "You're criticizing me? Let me tell you the truth, there are many people who want to make a pact with me, but I've grown tired of them. Don't think I'm nothing now. I may have been demoted in status, but my strength hasn't been reduced. Don't think I'm as worthless as you think. Even the rulers of other realms wouldn't dare to mess with me. Don't you think I'm exaggerating? Let me show you."
Mowenjie looked at the black dragon, and he couldn't help but admire its strength despite its intelligence. After all, it is the ruler of the Twenty-Heaven Realm, and its power is unquestionable. Thus, Mowenjie wasn't in a hurry to make any decisions as he contemplated his next move.
The black dragon looked at Mowenjie, neither opposing nor approving. It became a bit anxious. "I say, human, do you really have no idea what you want? Don't you believe in my power? I said I wanted to give you a performance, but you wouldn't agree. Now I don't know what to do. Don't think that making a pact with me is about taking advantage of your fame. I'm not that kind of person. If you're willing to believe my words, then let's make a pact; if not, that's it!"
Mowenjie burst into laughter when he heard the black dragon's words. "What do you mean? You brought up the idea of making a pact, and then you said it was up to me whether we did or not. Now you change your mind every time. Since you don't want to make a pact, that's fine with me. Let's just forget it. I want to leave here now. You can keep playing around here by yourself, I won't be with you!"
The black dragon listened and looked at Mowenjie, "Your suggestion means we could make a pact, which is fantastic. We have very compatible personalities, and only people like us can grow together. I'm currently unwilling to communicate with evil people and hope we can both stay away from them. If you're not mindful of my status, let's make a pact together. What do you think? Could you give me the green light?"
Mowenjie nodded upon hearing the black dragon's words, "I can agree to make a pact with you, but you can't be like this. You need to change yourself slowly, don't always act indifferent. After all, you're at the level of a single realm, and there are many things yet to be discovered here. I want to find medicinal herbs here temporarily and won't be leaving. If you want to chat with me, just let me know. I can really chat with you!"
The black dragon nodded at Mowenjie with a smile, "Then let's make a pact!"
Mowenjie nodded and said, "I don't need to ask; just call you Big Brother directly. From now on, we are brothers. Try to help each other and support each other, under no circumstances will we betray each other. We will share happiness and face difficulties together. In this way, we can worship together. My name is Mowenjie, today I become fraternal brothers with Big Brother Hei Long. In the future, I will help Big Brother Hei Long and never betray or deceive him. Brother Hei Long receives a salute from his brother!"
The black dragon quickly helped Mowenjie up, "Brother, please rise. We must help each other from now on. I can ensure that you are not bullied by any poisonous creatures here. Just focus on finding medicinal herbs and refining your pills. All the beasts in this realm are very obedient to me. With just a command from me, none of them will dare to disrespect you!"
Mowenjie looked at the black dragon, "Thank you for your support, Big Brother. Don't worry; I'll refine higher-grade pills and ensure that you'll unlock your suppression quickly and gradually return to your peak state!"
The black dragon listened and was very happy. "Brother, don't worry. Once I can unlock the suppression, I can slowly regain some abilities. At that time, if you want to go anywhere, I can send you there. Now that my power hasn't been suppressed, my divine abilities have been suppressed as well. Many things cannot be done. My rule here is based on strength, not magic. If I can recover my divine abilities, anything you want, I can fulfill your wishes!"
Mowenjie shook his head upon hearing this, "Big Brother, you're thinking too much. I still need to take it one step at a time and cannot afford to be lazy. So, I hope to complete this challenge on my own. Although I know that with your help, I may avoid some detours and lose some things in the process, I still want to experience everything myself and change myself."
The black dragon laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Seems like you have the strength for it, brother. Even I don't have the perseverance you do. I'm really happy for you, brother. I even feel ashamed to compare to you. Don't worry, brother. No matter what you do in the future, I'll support you. And no one can dare to bother you!"
Mowenjie looked at the black dragon and said, "Thank you, Big Brother, for understanding. Once I find the medicinal herbs, I'll discuss with you to unlock the suppressed pill. Although I can't guarantee a hundred percent success, the chance of success is quite large. I have such confidence!"
The black dragon laughed heartily upon hearing this, "As long as brother has confidence, that's all that matters. The suppression of my Big Brother is entrusted to you. I will immediately pass on the order to all poisonous creatures and ferocious beasts to stay away from brother! Let brother quietly search for medicinal herbs!"
Mowenjie nodded in response, "Since you've said that, Big Brother, I won't be polite. I'll follow your arrangement!"
The black dragon laughed heartily upon hearing this, "That's right! We're brothers. As the older brother, it's my duty to take care of the younger brother. Don't feel embarrassed. After all, I am now your Big Brother. Helping you is only right! Don't be so polite with your Big Brother!"
Mowenjie shook his head at the black dragon's words, "Big Brother, I'm definitely not going to be polite with you. From now on, whenever you need help from your brother, just ask. We brothers shouldn't be too formal with each other!"
The black dragon laughed heartily, "That's the way it should be between brothers. No matter what, you have to believe in your own brother. If you don't, there's no need to make a pact in the first place! Brother, you can start looking for medicinal herbs here now. Any poisonous creatures or ferocious beasts that see you will keep their distance. I've already given the order. Here's the dragon scale for you to wear—it carries my aura. All poisonous creatures and beasts will smell it and stay far away from you. You don't have to worry about them attacking you; this is my dragon scale, and everyone knows that touching a dragon's scales is deadly. Since they also fear death, they won't dare to provoke you. Just go ahead and find the herbs and make your pills; everything else is not for you to worry about. I'll handle everything for you!"
Mowenjie nodded at the black dragon and said, "Thank you, Big Brother. I'll go find the medicinal herbs right away. I want to find a cure for the suppression as soon as possible, so that you can be relieved then. Goodbye, Big Brother. I'm going to look for the medicinal herbs right now!"
The black dragon was so moved that he almost cried. "What have I to fear with such a good brother by my side? Thank the heavens for letting me meet such a wonderful brother. This is truly fortunate! The difficulties and hardships of the future will all become a thing of the past. As long as we work together, there's nothing we can't change! What's the big deal about being exiled by the Three Pure Ones? Brother, with your help, I can definitely regain my position at the Twenty-Heaven Realm in the future. Mowenjie brother is right; these punishments came too late. If they had arrived earlier, I wouldn't have had so much trouble. However, this might be part of karma and reincarnation. If it had arrived earlier, I wouldn't have met Mowenjie brother either. I'm truly willing to accept these current punishments!"
