"I submit!"
The Sea Dragon replied through gritted teeth.
Ruyan beamed and waved at Yan Feibei, "Acting Sect Master, the Sea Dragon says it's surrendered! Jiang Jiang, come over quickly and capture it!"
The Sea Dragon was taken aback but had no other reaction.
A wager's a wager; it understood that much.
Moreover, Ruyan wasn't wrong — it indeed had lost.
If it continued to hold out, she could bring out that unknown bottle thing to deal with it. Whether it was round or flat, alive or dead, wouldn't Ruyan have the final say?
So, rather than face a more tragic downfall, it was better to admit defeat obediently.
Recognizing the circumstances was something it still needed to learn.
Jiang Chengzi and Sang Yuqin floated before them. Jiang Chengzi glanced at the Sea Dragon and finally said to it, "Sea Dragon, you don't have to acknowledge me as your master. I just want you to come with me to the Flame Sect, show yourself to my master, and then I'll let you go. How does that sound?"
