Chapter 52: The Obedient Leng Li, Willing to be Enslaved

Chapter 52: The Obedient Leng Li, Willing to be Enslaved

Thunder Prison Peak, as one of the seven Peaks of Yaochi Sacred Land, had a wide reach.

Its base was as large as a town.

Towering tens of thousands of feet high, the higher one climbed, the scarcer the land became, making spots suitable for constructing dwellings increasingly precious.

Above the mountainside, outside a luxurious mansion, Elder Qingxin landed with Qin Xuan, pointed at the mansion in front, and said,

"Qin Xuan, this will be your residence at Thunder Prison Peak from now on. This place was built by the Saintess when she was at Thunder Prison Peak. Before she could ever move in, she was promoted to Saintess and went to the main Peak. This place holds a special meaning at Thunder Prison Peak and has never been occupied. The Peak Master specially arranged for you to stay here, placing great expectations on you."

"Trouble for the Elder to lead the way; I won't keep you," Qin Xuan cupped his hands.

There was no need to put on a good face for Elder Qingxin.

In the eyes of outsiders, Elder Qingxin had previously wanted to kill him.

Even if the 'truth came to light,' he had no need to curry favor with this Elder.

Elder Qingxin's gaze was desolate; he wanted to say something but stopped, and without lingering, he drifted away.

Qin Xuan looked at the luxurious mansion before him and pushed the door open to enter.

A faint, elegant fragrance wafted toward him.

The mansion was huge, comparable to those top-tier luxury homes on Earth in his past life.

Bedroom, Cultivation room, bathroom, Artifact Refining Room... everything was fully equipped.

It was so big that living alone felt a bit empty.

"Sigh, Outer Sect Disciples of Thunder Prison Peak can only live in large dormitories at the foot of the mountain. Inner Sect Disciples are at best squeezed into multi-person dormitories at the mountain's base. Even True Disciples rarely get assigned an Immortal Cave in a blessed land on the mountainside. And me?"

"I can only live alone in this spacious mansion, absorbing massive amounts of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi that even Elder-level Immortal Caves don't possess."

"I can't absorb it all, I really can't absorb it all!"

While Qin Xuan was humble-bragging, Leng Li, inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, exclaimed, "The Heaven and Earth Origin Qi here is so dense it's unbelievable. A single Thunder Prison Peak can hardly maintain this level of Origin Qi. I fear this place has been modified by that woman, drawing in the underground Origin veins from the main Peak!"

Qin Xuan used the ancient prison-suppressing tower to set up a barrier, allowing Leng Li to appear safely.

He leisurely instructed, "This room is too big, and I can't take care of it all by myself. When you have nothing to do, help me clean this place up. I don't like it when the place I live in gathers dust."

Leng Li rolled her eyes and said, "I am your guard, not a maid. For cleaning the room, couldn't you just find two maids to do it?"

"Can just any maid catch my eye?"

Qin Xuan was dissatisfied. To be his maid, wouldn't one at least need to be at the level of a Daughter of Luck?

Living here in the future, he would need to be equipped with a few maids.

Two for cleaning, two for bathing, three for washing his feet—one for each foot.

And two more responsible for warming the bed.

At present, the manpower was far from enough. He glanced at Leng Li and threatened, "Will you do it, or not?"

For some reason, Leng Li had an inexplicable feeling that with just one look, Qin Xuan could see right through her.

Especially with today's events, everything was developing in a direction favorable to Qin Xuan.

Behind the scenes, unbeknownst to her, Qin Xuan might have already set everything up.

Link by link, a layout like a hidden snake in the grass,

Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion under the secret manipulation of Qin Xuan's hands.

Even those in the Saint King Realm had become pawns in his hands.

This was the first time Leng Li felt such a chilling sensation of thorns on her back from a single person.

She could not, and dared not, refuse. She said in a muffled voice, "I will clean it, then."

Qin Xuan beckoned, "Come here."

When Leng Li came before him, he reached out and patted her head, "Obedient children get candy."

Leng Li was furious and shouted unhappily, "Can you stop touching my head? No matter what, I am still at the Saint King Realm!"

"The Double-Pupil Woman who forced you into such a helpless state would still fear me by three points when she first met me."

"Even if you hold my lifeline, you can't treat me like a pet, right!?"

Qin Xuan said with surprise, "Even the Double-Pupil Woman fears you by three points?"

Leng Li raised her snow-white neck, her red pupils filled with arrogance, "That goes without saying."

Qin Xuan took out the saint-grade soul-condensing pill and sighed to himself, "I was originally planning to give you a candy bean to snack on, but since you are so resistant, forget it."

Stare—

When Leng Li noticed the saint-grade soul-condensing pill in Qin Xuan's hand, her red pupils instantly constricted.

She subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, dumbfounded.

"This is a soul-condensing pill, and a Saint Grade one at that?"

Seeing Qin Xuan silently about to retract the soul-condensing pill, she leaned forward, crouched in front of Qin Xuan, grabbed his palm, placed it on her head, looked up with her beautiful eyes, and probed, "Will you touch it again?"

It wasn't that she, Leng Li, didn't keep her word, but rather that Qin Xuan's reward was too tempting.

Don't look at the fact that she is currently a soul in the Saint Realm, and one who had once fallen from the Saint King Realm.

Even with the Nine Revolutions Saint Soul Technique that Qin Xuan had added ingredients to, it was by her side.

To Cultivate to the Saint King Realm, it would still take at least several years, or even decades.

This speed, for those Prodigy monsters of the Saint Realm, was indeed incredibly fast.

But, if she could obtain this saint-grade soul-condensing pill in Qin Xuan's hand.

She wouldn't need decades, nor would she need years.

She dared to bet that after consuming the saint-grade soul-condensing pill, she would definitely be able to return to the Saint King Realm within half a month!

Qin Xuan stroked Leng Li's white hair with peace of mind and said playfully, "When you broke through to the Saint Realm, you wanted to kill me. If you break through to the Saint King Realm, wouldn't you want to tear me into ten thousand pieces?"

Leng Li felt bitter inside.

Having suffered two major losses, she would have to be kicked in the head by a donkey to make a move against Qin Xuan again.

That would be throwing her life away for nothing; she no longer had such thoughts.

Worried that Qin Xuan wouldn't trust her, she proactively handed over the "Soul-Controlling Seal," "This is a Saint Grade Cultivation Technique that can plant a brand in the Divine Soul, capable of controlling even those in the Saint King Realm. If you plant the mark in my Divine Soul, you can decide my life or death with a single thought."

As she spoke, she frankly opened up the weakest core of her Divine Soul.

Qin Xuan formed a Soul-Controlling Seal and, without any obstruction, planted the brand at the core of Leng Li's Divine Soul. He asked in surprise, "Are you just giving up?"

Leng Li stated directly, "From now on, I will unconditionally obey your orders."

It wasn't that she gave up struggling, but rather that she knew clearly in her heart.

She didn't need this Soul-Controlling Seal; if Qin Xuan wanted to, he could make her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Since she was already controlled, why not show goodwill?

Qin Xuan was currently at the fourth level of the Supernatural Realm and could already possess good things like the saint-grade soul-condensing pill.

In the future, would he be afraid of not having other good things?

Perhaps, by following Qin Xuan, she could return to her Peak in a short time.

Only by gaining Qin Xuan's trust could she allow Qin Xuan to provide for her Cultivation and Breakthrough without any precautions.

The stronger she was, the safer Qin Xuan would be.

This was a virtuous cycle of mutual achievement; harboring ulterior motives would only bring her trouble, or even death.

"You've become smart." Qin Xuan used his finger to fiddle with Leng Li's vibrant, red lips, ambiguously placing the soul-condensing pill into her mouth, and smiled, "Cultivate with peace of mind; for the time being, I don't need you to come out to kill anyone."

After putting Leng Li back into the ancient prison-suppressing tower, Qin Xuan walked into the bedroom and lay on the large bed with his limbs spread out.

After a short nap, his closed eyes opened once again:

He began to carefully take stock of his current gains and losses.

His current gains were enough to allow Leng Li to break through to the Saint King Realm. After his grandfather was cured of his hidden ailments and returned, and then took the nine-turn saint dao pill, he would be promoted to the Late Stage of the Saint King Realm in a short time.

If he himself took the yin-yang nirvana pill, he could also quickly break through to the Yin-Yang Realm.

However, moving too fast was not a good thing.

He needed to find an excuse to go out for a while, so that when he returned and broke through to the Yin-Yang Realm, it wouldn't attract too much attention.

As for trouble...

As for the Qin Princes Mansion, there was no need to worry for the time being, once Leng Li returned to the Saint King Realm.

With Leng Li and the ancient prison-suppressing tower by his side, he had absolutely no fear of Qin Zhenbei.

However, the Double-Pupil Woman side was a bit tricky.

This woman possessed an ancient Double-Pupil, and her murderous intent was very heavy.

If her true form were to arrive, the moment he dared to leave the Yaochi Sacred Land, even if Leng Li exposed her identity and joined forces with his grandfather, they wouldn't necessarily be a match for the Double-Pupil Woman!

"System, let me know the information about the Double-Pupil Woman." Qin Xuan began to call out to the System in his mind.

When in doubt, open a cheat!

【Consume all Villain Points to know the information about the Double-Pupil Woman. Does the Host choose to consume?】

"Consume."

Qin Xuan waved his hand without caring.

Compared to his life, Villain Points were not worth mentioning.

As the Villain Points were deducted, the basic information about the Double-Pupil Woman, as well as unknown news, all flowed into Qin Xuan's mind.

"The Double-Pupil Woman is actually of the Ziyang Empire Bloodline, and moreover, she hasn't just touched the threshold of the Emperor Realm, she is a true Quasi-Emperor!"

Learning of the Double-Pupil Woman's background and style, a cold sweat broke out on Qin Xuan's back.

Good grief!

He directly exclaimed, good grief.

A Quasi-Emperor!

No wonder even a single Incarnation was enough to make the Saintess of Yaochi Sacred Land fearful.

"However, the Double-Pupil Woman is located in the Mingyue Dynasty, but her Family is within the Ziyang Empire. This secret is unknown to anyone. By utilizing this unknown secret, perhaps I can turn the crisis into an Opportunity!"

Qin Xuan's eyes held eagerness. Ye Feng inciting Senior Sister Ziyuan to kill him was a case of losing the wife and losing the soldiers—a total loss.

Now, having the Double-Pupil Woman develop murderous intent toward him might just be an Opportunity!

The Double-Pupil Woman's Family is currently suffering from bullying, and she has no excuse to come to the Ziyang Empire to avenge her Family.

At this moment, he is rushing to provide the Double-Pupil Woman with an excuse to make a move.

Taking the Opportunity to wipe out the enemies bullying her Family, he could also preserve the relationship between the Family and her, without being discovered by Great Emperor Ziyang.

Qin Xuan was certain that if he didn't do something else.

The Double-Pupil Woman would inevitably kill him.

Using him as a pretext to take the Opportunity to avenge her Family!

"Double-Pupil Woman, Nether Pupil... it seems that for this trip out, I must take a trip to the Shangguan Family, who possess the Innate Nether Eyes."

Qin Xuan had a smile on his lips, his eyes filled with eagerness, "That pair of top-tier twin flowers from the Shangguan Family should not be missed. The wonderful affair of enjoying the blessings of both—as a great villain, it's time for me to experience that!"
