When it came to manipulating these puppets, he was the true architect. In fact, Fan Qianshi was a master in creating puppets.

 “Little Xijiu, when we meet again, do you think you can still fool me with this puppet technique?” He thought to himself.

 Then, he turned his gaze to Little Black, who stood motionless like a piece of wood.

 Fan Qianshi found him to be too annoying at times, and he did not want it to ruin his plans, so he just kept his candle dragon frozen like a statute.

 However, he needed Little Black’s help to find the pink candle dragon, and unfortunately, it could not do anything in its current state.

 Swiftly, Fan Qianshi flicked his sleeves and unlocked the spells that he had cast on it to keep it still.

 Little Black shook its body vigorously at first but then slowed down shortly after. It fixed its big glossy eyes at the man who put it in such misery.

 Fan Qianshi took a light breath and waited for it to start ranting.

 After all, this was the first time he had treated it this way. It was evident that the creature would be very angry with him once it regained control over its body!

 Secretly, Fan Qianshi tried to think of a way to get Little Black back on his side without too much of a fuss.

 However, he never expected that the candle dragon’s first reaction was to subconsciously take a few steps back and stare at him with eyes full of fear.

 He was speechless!

 In fact, all of his subordinates, including Wu Wuyan, treated him with the utmost respect and always feared him.

 It was only this black candle dragon that was fearless and spoke candidly with him. It never seemed to respect its master the same way his subordinates did.

 Fan Qianshi often had a headache with how unruly this creature could be, but when he saw it showing exactly the same expression as the other people around him, he subconsciously felt a pain in his heart!

 He cleared his throat gently and spoke in a soft tone, “Little Black, come here. I want to tell you something.”

 Little Black lowered its eyes and looked at the ground. It fell to its knees as it replied, “My Lord, what do you want to tell me?”

 Fan Qianshi choked at what he just witnessed. “Little Black, I have to do this to get rid of Di Fuyi. Otherwise, once he returns, I will be doomed. I have to take advantage of the situation now. Gu Xijiu is the only one who can kill him, so I have to let her do this for me at any cost, and now that I have learned how much Gu Xijiu cares about Di Hao, I will use that to manipulate her into helping me. The pink candle dragon is definitely mutated; it cannot even be compared with an ordinary candle dragon. The reason why you think it is beautiful is that you haven’t seen other candle dragons before. You can rest assured that when this is all over, I will take you to the Land of Candle Dragons and find you a wife. I will catch you the one that you desire. So, please work with me now, unless you want me to die in Di Fuyi’s hands in the future.”

 Fan Qianshi had threatened and tempted his pet candle dragon in one go! His clear reasoning and emotional message were well planned to influence Little Black.

 Subconsciously, he also did not want it to be so obedient.

 In order not to cross any lines, Little Black kept both its head and tail down and spoke respectfully, “My Lord does not need to explain anything to Little Black. Please give me your orders.”

 Once again, Fan Qianshi was left dumbfounded!

 He almost suspected that the creature’s soul had been replaced! It was either that or the spell that he had removed was probably done incorrectly and had somehow changed the temperament of the black candle dragon.

 Quietly, he decided to test these hypotheses to prove that neither was true.

 He sighed in relief at the result. Perhaps, Little Black had been treated too nicely all the while and never knew when to back down.

 Whatever it was, now was not the time to speculate on Little Black’s intentions. Swiftly, Fan Qianshi gave it instructions to find the pink candle dragon.

 Without saying anything, Little Black began to search for its master’s target.

 After a while, it simply raised its claw and pointed in a direction.
