Li Moyun was alertly keeping his eyes on the three experts, and while he did understand their confusion and disbelief, he also knew that he could not afford to let go of his vigilance.

While these three did not seem threatening right now, he was painfully aware that the reason they were not chopping him into pieces was because the little dragon on his shoulder showed an obvious affection towards him.

"Your Highness, you can play with your friend when he reaches the Wushi Continent in the future. For now, you have to follow me back to the Golden Dragon Clan for the sake of inheriting your throne."

The leader was trying his utmost to appear as an amiable and generous person, but the fierce aura surrounding him made his attempts fail rather miserably.

Although the three experts were trying to seem friendly, Xiao Long just snuggled closer to Li Moyun's neck, hiding his face so that he could not see them, which caused not only the three experts, but also Li Moyun to feel somewhat surprised and helpless.

The leader noticed that Xiao Long had no intention of acknowledging his attempts at starting a conversation, and he could only look to Li Moyun unwillingly.

"Young man, if you help us convince His Highness to enter the Wushi Continent with us, then we will be very grateful and also provide you with some cultivation resources."

The leader did not intentionally look down on Li Moyun, but although he was amazing when compared to other experts in this prison continent, he was not that outstanding when compared to the younger generation in the Wushi Continent.

Seeing that he was from the prison continent, the leader assumed that as long as he provided a few resources that had been sourced from the Wushi Continent, then he would gladly help them convince Xiao Long to leave with them.

They had never considered whether or not he would decline.

Unfortunately, neither Li Moyun nor Xiao Long felt grateful for this offer. Li Moyun considered the tiny dragon as his companion, and he would never sell his companions for the sake of profit.

Xiao Long was also very insulted. He felt that these experts were trying to buy him, and that they were looking down on Li Moyun.

Sensing the constant rising displeasure in the aura of Xiao Long, these experts became more and more puzzled. They did not understand the connection between Xiao Long and Li Moyun.

It was not that they did not know of the contract that a beast could make with a human, however in the Wushi Continent, such a contract was viewed as a humiliation to any beast who had become subjected to it.

They would never, in their wildest dreams, think that the most revered existence in their clan would have taken the initiative to contract with a human being.

The reason that these experts never considered the option of Li Moyun forcing Xiao Long to sign a contract was rather simple. His blood was too pure to be forced into anything. If the little dragon's life were threatened, it would be able to escape with the help of some innate abilities.

Although the price for using these abilities to flee would be severe, they would not bring any danger to his foundations, and it would be possible to recover with time. A contract was not possible to regret, so they did not think that Xiao Long would allow such a shackle to chain him to Li Moyun.

"Xiao Long is my companion. I have no intention of exchanging him for benefits."

The moment Li Moyun said these words, he was aware that there was a significant risk involved. These experts were clearly here for Xiao Long, and they revered him.

It did not require much intelligence to know that they would be furious upon learning that he had created a contract with their King, and they might even use some forbidden techniques to destroy their connection, kill him, and forcefully take Xiao Long back with them to the Wushi Continent.

Even when he was aware of the risks, Li Moyun still had no intention of hiding his relationship with Xiao Long. He was gambling with his life, but he was upright.

His only worry was Bai Rouyun. He dared gamble with his life when facing these experts because he did not want to lie about the connection between himself and Xiao Long, but if he did lose the bet and were killed, then he would truly feel sorry for Bai Rouyun.

Even so, he did not regret his decision. If he went against his beliefs, he too would get a heart demon that he would not be able to defeat. He would end up not being able to follow Bai Rouyun to the Wushi Continent, but he would also risk putting her in danger.

The contract between Xiao Long and himself was impossible to hide forever. Even if he sent Xiao Long back with these experts, eventually they'd know of their contract, and then they would return to his side to solve the problem, which might bring her even more danger.

The three experts were taken by surprise when hearing the words of Li Moyun. Although they were experts of unknown strength and not easy to be stunned, they had truly gotten confused, and were unable to react after hearing his words.

Their King had actually contracted with a mere human being, and he was not even a heavenly genius from the Wushi Continent, but instead a young man from the prison continent.

Their eyes flashed with disbelief as they finally regained their senses. The expression in their eyes as they looked at Li Moyun contained a mixture of emotions, including rage, frustration, disbelief, and also a slight trace of admiration.
