Ye Lingchen made a coy smile. "Senior, that's just a childish joke. I'll immediately allow the Stick Nation to purchase the Canine Bane Pill once I head back."
"Haha, once you head back?" The old man snickered. "There is no going back! Wouldn't it be better to capture you, keep you in our Stick Nation, and let you create medicine for us?"
"Senior, I'm from the Warrior's Department," Ye Lingchen said.
"And?" The old man smirked indifferently. "Are you going to willingly come back with me, or would you like me to beat you half-dead and then bring you back? That old tortoise at your feet looks good too. It'd be perfect as a mount, or it could end up as a pot of soup!"
"You must be kidding. A weakling like me wouldn't dare to lay a hand on a senior like you." Ye Lingchen laughed dryly but his heart sank slightly. He then asked, "Your strength is amazing. You've probably already broken through the Innate Stage, right."
