"Not letting go?"

"Ha"

"If you don't let go, then go play by yourself!"

Qin Mu's eyes swept across her icy figure. "Don't think that just because you're from the Heavenly Sword Sect, I'll let you order me around. Even if you are a Dao Protecting Divine Dragon, you protect my Dao! Understand who is the master; only then are you qualified to stay here!"

AO Mengmeng hung her head low, an expression of profound grievance on her face. Starlight twinkled in her golden dragon eyes before she burst into tears.

"Waaah!!"

Two streams of tears shot out like Milky Ways.

What the hell?! Qin Mu wondered. An immortal monster from billions of years ago?! Sobs on first sight?! Are you serious?!

Ao Mengmeng was actually sobbing, whimpering, "Qin Mu! You.... you don't know the heart of a good dragon! This princess is doing this for your own good!"

She rubbed her eyes, lamenting, "The universe is so perilous, don't you know? Although this is the ancestral land of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the sect has suffered a calamity. The ancestral land's formation is now incomplete and could shatter at any moment! If the forces in the universe were to find out and numerous powerhouses descended, what chance would you have to survive?"

Qin Mu's face resembled a map of confusion. Even an ancient True Dragon, it seemed, became entirely unreasonable when she started crying.

"Enough crying! Stop crying! Speak clearly! Do I not understand reason? Was that the situation just now? Xiao Yi is just a basic smart system; does she even have the ability to contact the outside world?" shouted Qin Mu.

Ao Mengmeng frowned. "A basic level of smart system is still a smart system. They can do far too many bad things -- you simply have no experience! As long as she wants to, she can use Dragon Star's current automated factories to build a Sumeru level long range communication device at any time and send messages to the universe."

Qin Mu rubbed his brow in distress. "Are you sure that you understand the current Dragon Star technological level? If they had such capabilities, Would Dragon Star still be inhabited? "

Ao Mengmeng stubbornly argued her point. "Then... what if the smart system evolves? There have been many cases of destruction caused by smart system evolution in the universe. Three hundred million years ago, the Aurora God Kingdom was destroyed because of a smart system rebellion, which attracted the Cyber Clan. Forty two billiom years ago..."

"Stop!" said Qin Mu. "One chance in a few hundred million years, and you bring it up just then?"

Ao Mengmeng quickly retorted, "This isn't all! The smart system isn't the whole, but a copy of a central smart system. They can upload any information they want at any time, and our information is exposed. How can we then lock them up?"

Xiao Yi was, in fact, an ordinary smart system. Such smart systems normally operated through the use of a central core, where customers were served through a network. It was not practical to expect a smart system, even of the private type, to work alone and be completely private at tens of thousands of credit points. Xiao Yi had been with him for a long time, completing every requested task, and data upload was her natural job function.

"Why are you unyielding now?" Qin Mu asked calmly. "What I am talking about is not whether to lock it away or not, but the problem of you taking action privately without my permission."

This was definitely not something Qin Mu could accept. If Ao Mengmeng were to handle all things on her own, what about my authority? If she doesn't even acknowledge me as her master, she must be safeguarding the Heavenly Sword Sect and not me.

Ao Mengmeng peered through her fingers. "You... you're not trying to make this princess recognize you as her master, are you?"

"Nonsense!" Qin Mu said right away. "If you don't recognize me as master, what good are you to me?"

Ao Mengmeng immediately became indignant.

"Qin Mu! You are indeed the chief of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but even the progenitor of the sect was not qualified to make this princess recognize him as master!"

"Whether you know me or not is up to you," said Qin Mu calmly. "But if you don't, then just leave."

Ao Mengmeng was stunned. Could a human from a barreb land after seeing her abilities and knowing she could guide him to godhood truly say no? There were only two possibilities.

First: Qin Mu was a fool. But he wasn't; he was a genius who had broken records in the Heavenly Sword Sect and the universe.

Second: Qin Mu was truly confident in reaching a level beyond the Divine Realm on his own.

If this were the past, she would not have recognized this man as her master either. But the truth of the Heavenly Sword Sect's sudden and inexplicable distruction a million years ago still had not been brought to light either. What could this young girl do in such a situation what choice does she haev? Once the Dragon Star formation shattered, it was only a matter of time before the planet was discovered. She couldn't wait that long. Revenge was her only belief now.

"Qin Mu!" Ao Mengmeng said decisively. "It's not impossible for this princess to recognize you as master, but I have two conditions. First, you do not understand the path of cultivation, so you must follow this princess's guidance. Second, after becoming a god, you must rebuild the Heavenly Sword Sect and help this princess get revenge!"

There appeared to be a smile in the corner of Qin Mu's mouth." First, I have no experience in cultivation, but you can only give suggestions, not demands. As for the second, no pressure. Within three years, I can destroy them with a flick of my hand!"

"Three years?" Ao Mengmeng's jaw dropped.

"You want to be a god in three years? I do not believe it! If you can be a god in three years, I will happily be your mount," the princess exclaimed.

She suddenly stopped herself. "Oh, I've forgotten the third point, this princess cannot be a mount"
