"Ying Ji, keep an eye on Lin Fan for me. Report every move he makes."
"Yes."
Wu Bingchan jumped at Ying Ji's voice. Could there really be a third person in this room?
Then hadn't everything she had done with Qin Tian been seen clearly?
"Young Master, this is..." The thought of how wanton she had looked, and how someone other than Qin Tian had seen it, made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"She's my guard. Don't worry, she's a woman," Qin Tian explained casually.
"Then that's good."
Wu Bingchan leaned into Qin Tian's arms and asked carefully, "Why did Young Master send someone to watch Lin Fan? I'm not worried about him, I just find it strange. In Young Master's eyes, Lin Fan is nothing more than an ant, so why make such a fuss?"
"Lin Fan still has some use to me. That's not important. Let's do something interesting instead, heh heh."
Qin Tian reached out and slid his hand into Wu Bingchan's clothes, closing his palm around those full breasts. They were smooth, soft, and springy. The only flaw was that they still hadn't fully developed. They were already big enough, but breasts like that only felt really good once they were even bigger. His mother Gong Xiaoyue's beautiful breasts were the softest, most comfortable breasts he had ever kneaded, perfect in every way.
The lust in Wu Bingchan's body stirred again. A faint fragrance rose from her, and her face flushed as she said softly, "Young Master really does know a lot of interesting things..."
"This is nothing. I'll show you even more interesting things later."
Qin Tian picked Wu Bingchan up and carried her onto the bed.
Qin Tian slapped her butt and said, "Do exactly what I told you before."
Wu Bingchan nodded, took off her clothes, climbed onto the bed, and arched her hips. With both hands she spread her cheeks apart, revealing the pink, tightly puckered little hole between them, like a blooming chrysanthemum, right in front of Qin Tian.
"Please use me, Young Master~"
"Then I won't be polite, heh heh~"
Qin Tian thrust forward and shoved his cock into Wu Bingchan's tight little hole...
"Ah~" Wu Bingchan let out a soft moan. Her brows tightened; it wasn't the pain she had imagined, but the uncomfortable sensation of having a foreign object fill her body.
But very quickly, as Qin Tian pistoned in and out, that discomfort turned into pleasure.
"Ah~ Young Master~ Young Master~ It's so strange. I... I've clearly never been fucked in my ass before, but it feels... so good~ Ah! It's too comfortable, so hot~ It's like my ass is on fire... Ah~ Young Master~ Give me more~"
The nine-tailed fox bloodline and that lustful blood really were something else. A half-demon nine-tailed fox could already be made to feel this good; if it were Wu Bingchan's mother, it would definitely be even more satisfying.
Qin Tian was starting to want to revive Wu Bingchan's mother right this instant, then make that pair of nine-tailed fox mother and daughter both kneel before him and raise their asses for his favor.
On one side, Qin Tian was working hard to open Wu Bingchan up. On the other side, Lin Fan was locked in the deepest, darkest dungeon of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Ground.
He lay on the ground. With both legs crushed, he couldn't even stand up now.
Lin Fan clenched his fists and said with some resentment, "Master, why didn't you kill him just now!"
He had called out countless times in his heart at the time, but the master who always came out to solve his problems never gave him the slightest response no matter how he called.
Just then, a soul form drifted out from the ring on Lin Fan's finger. She looked at Lin Fan helplessly.
"Xiaofan, it wasn't that I didn't want to come out and help just now. I sensed that there was a strong expert guarding that man. If I showed myself, I'd be killed in an instant, and then neither of us would survive."
"How is that possible? Even Master isn't his match?"
Lin Fan could hardly believe it. This beautiful master of his was his cheat code. As a transmigrator, he naturally knew the routine.
(My cheat code shouldn't be the strongest one?) Lin Fan thought to himself. He was starting to doubt his cheat code.
"Xiaofan, listen to me. That young master really isn't someone we can provoke right now. With your talent, surpassing him is only a matter of time. Don't make an enemy of him again just for a woman."
Lin Fan lowered his head, a vicious look flashing in his eyes. He cursed inwardly: It's just because you're useless. If you were useful, why would I have suffered this kind of humiliation?
At first, he had been very satisfied with this beautiful master. Though she was only a soul and her figure couldn't be seen, that face alone was enough to bring down nations. She not only taught him to cultivate, she was a feast for the eyes at all times.
But now it seemed this so-called master was really just a pretty vase, and she even wanted him to give up Wu Bingchan. What a joke. How could he possibly give up a beauty like Wu Bingchan so easily? More importantly, he had privately treated Wu Bingchan as his own property, so in Lin Fan's eyes Qin Tian was stealing what was his, which was why his resentment ran so deep. Even if Qin Tian had played with her, so what? It was no big deal. At worst, he could just choose to forgive her.
Just then, two patrolling disciples happened to pass by the dungeon.
"Did you hear? Saintess Bingchan spent the whole day in that young master's chamber and never came out."
"Yeah, the whole day. After being tossed around like that by the saintess, she'll probably be unable to walk tomorrow." The other disciple said sourly. Wu Bingchan of the Heavenly Sword Sacred Ground was a fairy famed throughout the Tiancang Realm, ranked near the top of the Fairy List, and she had been taken down just like that. What annoyed them even more was that the other senior sisters and junior sisters of the Sacred Ground all wanted to follow that same existence, but every one of them had been rejected.
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that today, disciples who passed nearby could hear the saintess screaming. Maybe that young master has some strange fetish."
"Don't talk nonsense. Even if she was forced, so what? With that young master's background, which woman wouldn't want to offer herself up? If she could use her body to get even a shred of favor from him, she'd rise with the tide too!"
"Is what you're saying true?" Lin Fan gripped the bars tightly, his eyes bloodshot as he roared like a beast at them.
"True or false, what does it have to do with you? Offending that young master means you're as good as dead." One of the disciples looked at Lin Fan with contempt. What was this fool thinking, daring to fight that young master over the saintess? In the end, the saintess still didn't go with that young master?
"Exactly! Exactly! Senior Sister Bingchan must have been forced. How could she possibly have gone willingly?" The more Lin Fan thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. No, I have to get out and ask her clearly. I can't stay trapped here forever.
"Master, I beg you, help me get out. Please."
Lin Fan anxiously pleaded in his heart. He wanted to seize this last chance to find Wu Bingchan, ask her clearly, apologize, and then take her away.
Before transmigrating, Lin Fan had been a virgin. After transmigrating, Wu Bingchan was his first love. Nothing was more unforgettable than a first love.
"Sigh, Xiaofan, do you know who you've offended?" Lingxiao sighed softly. Although she didn't know who that person was herself, she could feel how powerful his cultivation was.
In the Great Thousand Dao Domain, a man surnamed Qin who was this strong... Lingxiao had a vague guess in her heart, but she dared not believe it. If it really was that clan, then it would be far too terrifying!
"Master, don't worry. I won't go looking for him again. I just want to see Senior Sister Bingchan once and ask her in person. Please."
"Sigh... Xiaofan, remember this: after you see her once, leave here at once. You can no longer stay here."
Lingxiao sighed helplessly and then possessed Lin Fan's body.
Lin Fan's broken legs were instantly restored, and his cultivation level surged all the way from the Qi Refining Realm to the fourth level of the Profound Core Realm before stopping.
Now that Lin Fan had reached the fourth level of the Profound Core Realm, this little dungeon could not hold him at all. Without anyone noticing, he slipped quietly out of the dungeon.
However, all of this was seen clearly by Ying Ji, who had been hiding in the shadows all along. Lin Fan really did have a problem, just as the young master had said.
After that, her respect for Qin Tian deepened by several more notches.
...
Qin Tian was lying on the bed, holding Wu Bingchan, who had overexerted herself and fallen asleep in his arms. In the end, he still hadn't taken Wu Bingchan's virginity.
Because Wu Bingchan's corruption value had just stalled at 80 points. It looked like unless he went and resurrected her mother, that corruption value wouldn't rise any further.
Her mother was Wu Bingchan's final line of defense in her heart, and also the eternal pain in her heart. Now that there was hope of resurrection, she was certainly excited and nervous. Before her mother was truly brought back, there would always be a trace of worry and fear in her heart.
"So this is a high-corruption event? It looks like it was arranged by the system, but it also fits the logic perfectly. As expected of the will of the world."
Qin Tian had also gained some understanding of these so-called high-corruption event triggers. Corruption value would not rise for no reason, nor would it increase out of nowhere just because a task had been completed. Rather, it was a shortcut given according to each heroine's condition and needs.
Take Wu Bingchan, for example. Reviving her mother would let him obtain her body and soul one hundred percent, but even if he did not revive her mother, Wu Bingchan still would not be able to leave Qin Tian in the end and would still reach 100 corruption value. It was only a matter of time.
"Young Master, Lin Fan has already broken out of prison. He will come looking for Miss Wu Bingchan." Ying Ji appeared and told Qin Tian everything she had seen.
"So the thing in that ring wasn't some old man, but a woman. Interesting." In fact, Qin Tian had long since noticed the ring on Lin Fan's finger. Given the usual behavior of protagonists, there was most likely something strange about it. Either there was some old grandpa inside, or it was some heaven-defying treasure.
"How strong is that soul fragment?" Qin Tian still needed to be sure. If that soul fragment was too powerful, he would have to think of another way.
"If that soul fragment were at full strength, I might still be somewhat wary of her. Right now, I could kill her with a wave of my hand," Ying Ji said confidently. She was an elite selected by the Tianhen Immortal Dynasty; her strength was not to be underestimated, otherwise Empress Mother Gong Xiaoyue would not have placed her by Qin Tian's side.
"That weak?" Qin Tian was somewhat disappointed. He had been hoping Lin Fan might produce something a bit more impressive. A weak soul fragment was of no use to him. He would rather Lin Fan had some kind of tower, a bottle, or something like that.
Still, there was no rush to make a final judgment. He would watch a while longer.
Qin Tian patted Wu Bingchan on the butt. Wu Bingchan was awakened by the slap, opening her sleepy eyes like a lazy little fox.
"Young Master~ Let me rest a little longer." Wu Bingchan thought Qin Tian was excited again and wanted to do something interesting.
"What are you thinking? I'm telling you to go back and pack your things. Starting tomorrow, you'll be staying by my side officially."
Qin Tian pinched her butt in annoyance. Did he really look that eager?
"Really? Thank you, Young Master. I still have some keepsakes my mother left me at home. There's no need to wait until tomorrow. I'll go pack them up, and once I'm done I'll come back and keep you company."
Wu Bingchan pushed herself upright, a little excited, because those things were very important to her.
"Then hurry up and come back. I'll wait here."
Qin Tian rested his head on his hand and watched her beautiful breasts sway with her joy as he spoke.
Wu Bingchan noticed Qin Tian's gaze. She didn't feel shy at all; instead, she was happy. She was no longer the shy Wu Bingchan she had once been. Her nine-tailed fox bloodline had been awakened, and her courage had grown much bolder.
Wu Bingchan dressed herself, kissed Qin Tian on the face, and said, "I'll be back very soon."
"Do you need me to follow you, Young Master?" After Wu Bingchan left, Ying Ji appeared in front of Qin Tian.
"No need." Qin Tian waved a hand. Wu Bingchan's corruption value had already reached 80. This could also be considered the final test Qin Tian was giving her.
He was never short of women, but neither did he take every woman he saw. Qin Tian had never liked it when the woman he wanted, or the woman who had caught his eye, still had someone else in her heart. He could not tolerate that. He had always been a very domineering, very selfish person. If he couldn't have something, then destroying it was fine. If he couldn't get it, then no one else should dream of getting it either.
"I hope you won't disappoint me." A dangerous glint flashed in Qin Tian's eyes.
Just as Qin Tian was thinking about how to deal with Lin Fan, he felt two soft mounds press down on his back. Qin Tian turned his head and saw that Ying Ji had somehow already stripped off her clothes and was hugging him from behind.
Ying Ji looked at Qin Tian with eyes full of seduction, lightly licking his earlobe with the tip of her tongue. "Young Master~ Teach me how to do something interesting too."
Qin Tian turned around, pushed Ying Ji down on the bed, and laughed, "You said that yourself~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tian kissed her little mouth, his hands roaming over her sexy body, and the two of them began another round of playful exploration.
...
Wu Bingchan walked along the road. Right now, she still felt a sense of unreality. She herself had not expected that in just one day, she would fall in love with someone.
That's right, Wu Bingchan had fallen for Qin Tian. She loved his dominance, loved the hint of care and tenderness hidden beneath it, loved his strong arms, loved the force of his thrusts.
And Lin Fan was no longer important to her. In the first place, the two of them had only been senior sister and junior brother, with not much personal feeling between them.
"Senior Sister Bingchan!"
Wu Bingchan frowned and turned toward the person calling her, because that voice sounded familiar.
"Lin Fan! Why are you here?" Wu Bingchan's expression changed when she saw Lin Fan. How had he gotten out?
If the young master found out, what if he misunderstood and thought it was the Sacred Ground's doing?
What if the young master became unhappy and didn't want her anymore?
Seeing this, Lin Fan thought Wu Bingchan was worried about him. He hurried over and said, "Senior Sister Bingchan, I was confused before. I misunderstood you. I shouldn't have said those things to you. I know now, you must have been forced. There were too many people there at the time, so you couldn't tell me. I can understand that. Come with me! I'll take you away from here."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Wu Bingchan's hand, but caught only empty air.
Wu Bingchan dodged Lin Fan's outstretched hand, her face cold as she looked at him. "Lin Fan! This is your last chance. Come back with me to see the young master. Apologize to him in person and admit your mistake. Maybe the young master won't pursue your offense."
"Senior Sister, what are you talking about? I don't understand. Come with me, leave that man who forced you. I will treat you to..."
"Enough!" Wu Bingchan cut Lin Fan off and continued, "Maybe I once gave you some misunderstanding. I apologize for that here. But now I am the young master's woman. If you keep saying things like that and making the young master misunderstand, I definitely won't forgive you."
Lin Fan stared dumbly at Wu Bingchan and asked in disbelief, "You weren't forced?"
"I never said I was forced," Wu Bingchan said firmly.
"Hahaha, so you, Wu Bingchan, were I the only one fooling myself all along?" Lin Fan threw his head back and laughed, his voice mixed with a bit of madness and sorrow.
"Xiaofan, don't make trouble. Run, now!" Lingxiao urged anxiously inside Lin Fan's mind, because she sensed a very powerful aura approaching this place.
"Wu Bingchan! Remember this. One day, I will make you regret it."
Lin Fan no longer hesitated and turned to flee.
"I never said you could leave."
Before the person arrived, the voice came first. Lin Fan wanted to run, but found that he could not move at all.
In panic, he asked inwardly, "Master! What's going on? Why can't I move!"
"Someone has sealed off the surrounding space with power. We're doomed this time," Lingxiao said helplessly, and in her heart she could not help but feel a trace of dissatisfaction toward Lin Fan. If Lin Fan had listened to her advice, things would not have ended up like this.
"What! Then I'm dead for sure? No! I can't die. Master, hurry and save me." He had finally transmigrated once, and he hadn't even built a harem or stood at the top of the world. He was the protagonist, after all. How could he die in a place like this?
"Xiaofan, calm down first. When that young master arrives, we'll keep our attitude a little better and see whether he might spare us a way out," Lingxiao said, looking at Lin Fan like this with complete disappointment.
A qualified prodigy needed, at the very least, the courage to face death without fear. In the Great Thousand Dao Domain, the struggle among prodigies was so brutal, yet no one had ever heard of an inheritor of some great lineage being greedy for life and afraid of death.
Lingxiao was also a person from the Great Thousand Dao Domain. Although her clan was not among the topmost forces, the inheritors it nurtured had never shown the slightest cowardice, even when facing life and death.
If you were greedy for life and afraid of death, then why come out and compete for anything at all? How were you supposed to win benefits for the sect that raised you?
Lin Fan's performance now was truly far off the mark.
Lingxiao was right. In the Great Thousand Dao Domain, the competition among prodigies was brutal. Powers might remain unchanged through the ages, but their successors were replaced batch after batch by the dead.
Countless opportunities had to be fought for personally. One had to face not only challenges from peers, but also assassinations from enemy forces. Those who could be sent out by the power behind them were never cowards afraid of death.
"Master, is there no other way? If you detonate your soul body, can you let me escape?"
"Xiaofan... what are you saying!" Lingxiao looked at her disciple in disbelief.
"Don't forget, I was the one who awakened you. Now that I'm in danger, you should help me! You owe me this!"
Lin Fan had had enough of Lingxiao. He was furious over why his cheat code was so useless. If he had been given a more powerful one, what the hell would this Qin Tian be? Wu Bingchan would already be in his pocket.
"How can you say that? I am your master!" Even a clay figurine has a bit of fire; Lingxiao could not hold back any longer.
"If you're my master, then you should be helping me escape even more! You have a way, don't you!"
"I..." Lingxiao really did have a way to let Lin Fan escape, but she would also end up with her soul completely scattered.
She had been framed by others, and only a wisp of her remnant soul had escaped to the lower realm. Her wish was to return to the Great Thousand Dao Domain and take revenge. Taking Lin Fan as her disciple was also in hopes that one day, when Lin Fan grew strong enough, he could help her exact revenge. But if she were to have her soul scattered, what revenge would there still be to speak of? Then none of this would mean anything anymore.
Seeing Lingxiao hesitate, Lin Fan's hatred only deepened. Not only was she useless, she didn't even have the awareness to sacrifice herself. This cheat code was too trash.
"You've got quite the nerve."
Only then did Qin Tian arrive at a leisurely pace, with Ying Ji beside him.
Along the way, he had already heard many system prompts. Lin Fan had formed a deadly feud with Wu Bingchan and torn his face open with Lingxiao, which had earned Qin Tian quite a lot of villain points.
"Young Master~" When Wu Bingchan saw Qin Tian, she immediately ran over, wanting to explain.
"No need to explain. I know everything." Qin Tian very naturally wrapped an arm around Wu Bingchan's slender waist and kissed her on the face, making her brighten with joy.
Qin Tian patted her plump butt, signaling her to stand aside for now. Wu Bingchan was very obedient and moved behind Qin Tian.
Qin Tian stood before Lin Fan and said, "Senior, please come out and have a look."
"So from the very beginning you knew I was there?" Lingxiao emerged helplessly from the ring and bowed to Qin Tian.
"Lingxiao of the Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion greets you, Young Master."
"Oh? So you're a person from the Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion?" Qin Tian said with a trace of surprise.
"Young Master, I’ve heard of Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion. Then you should know that although my Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion is not one of the top powers in the Great Thousand Dao Domain, it is still an upper-tier force. If Young Master is willing to spare us, I will certainly repay your kindness when I return to Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion one day."
Seeing that Qin Tian knew of Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion, Lingxiao wanted to use the pavilion to buy herself a favor from him. In the Great Thousand Dao Domain, a promise from Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion was worth a great deal.
"I have heard of Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion. Then have you heard of an immortal aristocratic clan, the Ancient Qin Clan? Eternal and evergreen, the Immortal Ancient Qin Clan?" Qin Tian looked at Lingxiao with a smile.
Lingxiao’s heart trembled. Although she had already guessed it, having that guess confirmed still left her shaken.
Who in the Great Thousand Dao Domain had not heard of eternal and evergreen, the Immortal Ancient Qin Clan?
It was the oldest, and also the most mysterious clan in history.
When heaven and earth perish, the Qin clan does not. Even the great calamity cannot destroy it, and time itself cannot wear it down.
In the earliest records of the Great Thousand Dao Domain, the Immortal Ancient Qin Clan was already there in the shadows. No one knew how long the clan had existed, but everyone knew one thing: the Qin clan could not be provoked!
It was a taboo!
When Lingxiao met with disaster, Qin Tian had not even been born yet, so she did not recognize him at first. If she had known from the beginning that Qin Tian was of the Qin clan, even if she were given ten lives, she would never have dared offend him.
"So Young Master is of the Qin clan. I was reckless earlier. Please do not blame me, Young Master." Lingxiao bowed to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian had long been used to this sort of thing. As the crown prince of the Tianhen Immortal Dynasty and a divine son of the Immortal Ancient Qin Clan, his two identities meant that very few people could even look at him without lowering their heads.
"What is your name?" Qin Tian asked.
"Young Master can just call me Lingxiao."
Qin Tian nodded, then had the system list Lingxiao’s information:
[Name: Lingxiao]
[Cultivation: Fourth Level of the Mystic Core Realm (residual soul)]
[Identity: Elder of Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion]
[Fallen value: 40]
[High-fallen-value event: not triggered]
[System evaluation: excellent alchemy talent, recommended to subdue]
Excellent alchemy talent?
Qin Tian thought about it. Alchemists were indeed rare, but only relative to ordinary cultivators. Having a private alchemist dedicated to him would not be bad. If she refined some indecent pills, there would be no need to worry about leaks causing trouble for him.
With that in mind, Lingxiao was still somewhat useful. He would keep her by his side for now.
"Come to think of it, I should still call you senior. Senior, there is no need to be so restrained. I’m just curious: why did you become a residual soul, and how did you end up becoming Lin Fan’s master? If you do not mind, tell me about it." Qin Tian showed a harmless-looking smile, trying his best to put Lingxiao at ease.
Lingxiao did not dare conceal anything, and told Qin Tian everything about how she had been framed, and how she had become Lin Fan’s master. As they talked, much of the tension between them faded.
The two of them traded words back and forth, completely treating the nearby Lin Fan like air, as if he did not exist at all. Not only Qin Tian, even Lingxiao did not spare him a glance. On top of that, with Ying Ji suppressing him, he could not even make a sound.
Lin Fan stared hard at Lingxiao, who was chatting and laughing with Qin Tian. In his heart, he had already categorized Lingxiao together with Wu Bingchan, as a vain, gold-digging, despicable woman.
"So that’s how it is, senior. You really have had it rough. But to me, these things are all minor matters. As long as senior is willing, I can help you solve them," Qin Tian said confidently. A mere Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion was not something he took seriously. One word from his mother would be enough to send a million troops flattening the pavilion.
"Young Master Qin is really willing to help me?" Lingxiao said excitedly. Everything she had done was for one purpose only: to return once more to the Great Thousand Dao Domain, to return to Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion, and take revenge!
For that goal, she had even been willing to sleep inside a ring as a residual soul for a hundred years. That showed how deep her resolve and hatred ran.
Ding~ The host has triggered the heroine Lingxiao’s high-fallen-value event: help Lingxiao reconstruct her body and return to Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion for revenge.
"As long as senior agrees to one thing from this junior, I will definitely help senior return to the Great Thousand Dao Domain," Qin Tian said. During their conversation, he had already observed Lingxiao. Although she was a soul body and he could not judge her figure, her appearance was indeed stunning, with a face like a silver plate, eyes like water apricots, lips red without rouge, brows green without paint. She was truly a beauty painted by heaven.
After all, Lingxiao was also one of the heroines. High looks were the most basic requirement. But if she only had looks, Qin Tian probably would not have wasted so many words and would have simply destroyed her.
What use was being beautiful?
Could she be more beautiful than Gong Xiaoyue?
In the Great Thousand Dao Domain, there was never a shortage of beautiful women. What Qin Tian valued was her alchemy talent, which even the system approved. Everything else was a bonus.
"Please speak, Young Master!" Lingxiao did not overthink it. This was a rare chance, not only to establish a connection with the Immortal Ancient Qin Clan, but also to borrow the Qin clan’s power to take revenge. This might be the only opportunity in her life. She had already given up expecting Lin Fan to avenge her. Lingxiao had been disappointed in him beyond repair.
"I’ll help you reconstruct your body. You become my woman and follow me!"
"Young Master, please don’t joke like that, I..." Lingxiao had not expected Qin Tian to make such a request. Her instinct was to refuse, but she hesitated. To become Qin Tian’s woman would mean she was reaching far above her station. But she was not just a few dozen years older than Qin Tian.
She was several hundred years older.
Yet when she thought that becoming Qin Tian’s woman would earn her the protection of the Qin clan, and that by then no one in the Great Thousand Dao Domain would dare show her the slightest disrespect, she wavered again.
"Senior, are you worried about age? Cultivation knows no years. How can people on the path of cultivation be bound by age? Let me tell you, even some old ancestors from certain powers who are a thousand or ten thousand years older than me all want to enter my camp. Besides, the women I, Qin Tian, set my sights on do not have the right to refuse."
Qin Tian raised his head and looked at Lingxiao, a natural kingly pressure radiating from him.
Lingxiao turned to glance at Lin Fan, hesitation flashing in her eyes. Although Lin Fan’s earlier words had disappointed her greatly, she really did want to agree to Qin Tian. As long as she offered her body, she could gain the Qin clan’s protection. No one would refuse that. But Lin Fan’s earlier words were not entirely without reason.
If not for Lin Fan, she would not have awakened. And because of her, Lin Fan had spent three years as a useless nobody. Lingxiao felt indebted to him.
She sighed and shook her head at Qin Tian. "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master, but Lin Fan has been good to me. I cannot just abandon him like this."
Qin Tian raised an eyebrow. This Lingxiao was a little ungrateful, wasn’t she? Since he could not break through from her side, he would change direction. Young Master Qin was best at using power to pressure people and wealth to smash them. Having a powerful background and not using it would be stupid.
Qin Tian walked up to Lin Fan and tossed a bottle of pills, a manual, and a longsword down in front of him. "I’ll let you leave, and let your master follow me. These things are yours."
Lin Fan showed a trace of mockery on his face. He had stolen his woman and now wanted to steal his master too. Dream on. He was just about to refuse when the light on the ground drew his attention.
That light was extremely exaggerated, with all kinds of strange phenomena appearing. The jade bottle containing the pills had clouds swirling around it, and inside the transparent bottle, three pills could be seen floating within, each one accompanied by countless visions: white cranes riding the mist, and countless beasts galloping.
That bumpkin Lin Fan had never seen such a display!
This was obviously a rare treasure, because it looked cool enough and had enough special effects.
The manual was the same. It seemed as though the sound of the Great Dao was singing from within it, and the illusory figures of countless immortals were kneeling in worship before it.
The sword was even more exaggerated. The special effects were so overblown that the blade itself could not even be seen; all one could see were gaudy flashes of light.
"These are all treasures of my Qin clan. This Heaven and Earth Creation Immortal Pill, eat one and you’ll ascend to immortality on the spot. This manual is even more powerful. Once cultivated successfully, you’ll be invincible among your peers and killing across realms will be child’s play. Even I’m afraid of this big sword. Are these enough in exchange for your master?"
Lin Fan swallowed. To be honest, he was tempted. Lingxiao was already useless in his eyes. If he could exchange her for these treasures, wouldn’t that be far more useful than this vase of a woman?
"You’re actually using these things just to exchange for a residual soul?"
Ying Ji slightly loosened the suppression on Lin Fan. Although he still could not move, he could speak now. As a modern transmigrator, he was profit-driven and not particularly sentimental. He would basically weigh gains and losses.
Clearly, in Lin Fan’s heart, the pile of treasures radiating maximum grandeur in front of him was far more attractive than Lingxiao.
(I’m the protagonist. Even without that useless Lingxiao, with these treasures I can still dominate the world. When the time comes, I’ll come back and kill this bastard.) Lin Fan’s thoughts were stirring wildly. He was already imagining a bright future.
"You can’t put it like that. In my eyes, a beauty is priceless. For Senior Lingxiao, even if I’m reluctant to part with these things, I still won’t hesitate."
Qin Tian sneered inwardly, but on the surface he still wore a pained expression.
Seeing this, Lin Fan looked down on Qin Tian even more. So in the end, he was just a lecherous, flower-loving wastrel relying on his family background.
"Fine! I agree. But you must swear that you will let me leave."
Ding~ The protagonist Lin Fan has lost an important opportunity, fate value -2000, host villain value +5000
Ding~ The protagonist Lin Fan has lost an important heroine, Lingxiao, fate value -1000, host villain value +3000
Ding~ Important heroine Lingxiao has completely broken with the protagonist Lin Fan, fallen value +20, current fallen value 70.
These notifications were truly pleasing to the eye. Lin Fan had not even figured out how important Lingxiao was to him. For a golden finger, these kinds of things often ran throughout the entire book. Most of the opportunities Lin Fan would obtain in the future would come through Lingxiao, not to mention the benefits from Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion behind her, which were immeasurable.
After hearing Lin Fan agree, Lingxiao’s gaze darkened. She sighed and said nothing more. At this point, whatever she said would be meaningless. From now on, she had no other thoughts. She only wanted to become the woman by Qin Tian’s side.
As for revenge, she no longer clung to it. Once she became Qin Tian’s woman, what revenge could she not take?
However, Lingxiao looked somewhat strangely at the glittering treasures in front of Lin Fan. True heaven-and-earth treasures would never be this exaggerated, and she was from Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion. She had never even heard of this Heaven and Earth Creation All-Things Immortal Pill, much less the nonsense about ascending to immortality on the spot.
Ying Ji smiled faintly at the side. She could be said to have watched Qin Tian grow up from childhood. Although Qin Tian’s personality was overbearing, he also had a mischievous and cunning side that outsiders did not see.
When he was little, Qin Tian had done all sorts of bad things by cheating, deceiving, and tricking people.
"Here!" Lin Fan seemed afraid Qin Tian would go back on his word, and after tossing the ring on his finger to Qin Tian, he immediately hugged the treasures on the ground tightly to his chest.
"Living in a thing like that must have wronged senior. Change to a better place."
As he spoke, Qin Tian crushed the ring and took out a beautifully carved jade plaque radiating a faint milky-white glow.
"This... this is top-grade Nourishing Soul Divine Jade!" Lingxiao looked at the jade plaque in Qin Tian’s hand in shock. Just standing nearby, she could feel her soul being nourished, and there were actually signs of recovery.
"Young Master, this is far too precious... Even if Tian Dan Medicine Pavilion went bankrupt, it still couldn’t buy such a huge piece of top-grade Nourishing Soul Divine Jade!"
"My woman should use the best things. If word got out, people would think I, Qin Tian, am useless. If you really want to repay me, then I’ll punish you by making you stay by my side and pay off the debt for the rest of your life. How about that?" Qin Tian looked at Lingxiao, sincerity in his eyes.
"What am I, Lingxiao, to deserve such favor from the Young Master? I, Lingxiao, will follow the Young Master to the ends of the world in this life and never betray him."
If not for the fact that a soul body had no tears, Lingxiao would already have been crying. No one had ever treated her this well before.
"Alright, you’re very weak right now, and you could dissipate at any moment. Go in first and nourish yourself. When I return to the Great Thousand Dao Domain, I’ll help you reconstruct your body."
Lingxiao nodded. She really was extremely weak now, and felt sleepy all the time. "Then I’ll go in first."
Lingxiao turned into a beam of light and entered the top-grade Nourishing Soul Divine Jade. After she went in, an intoxicating moan actually came from within the divine jade.
"Ah~"
Lin Fan’s expression turned odd when he heard it, while Wu Bingchan and Ying Ji both blushed slightly. They had also made such sounds when Qin Tian brought them to climax.
It could not really be blamed on Lingxiao. The top-grade Nourishing Soul Divine Jade was simply too comfortable for her. It was like a long drought meeting sweet rain. Inside that tiny ring, it had been pitch-black, the space so small she could not even stretch out, forced to curl up in a corner while constantly feeling weakness and cold.
But inside this top-grade Nourishing Soul Divine Jade, everything was bright, like a dreamlike fairyland. She could even run around inside, and she felt a warm and soothing comfort that made her spirit full and no longer weak. Her residual soul was actually visibly repairing and completing itself bit by bit.
Lingxiao once again realized just how precious the top-grade Nourishing Soul Divine Jade was. Thinking that Qin Tian was willing to give her such a divine treasure made her heart feel sweet.
Ding~ The heroine Lingxiao sincerely thanked the host and developed feelings of love. Fallen value +10, current fallen value 80
(Again stuck at 80?) Qin Tian frowned slightly, but did not pay it too much mind. A little challenge was a good thing. Otherwise it would be too easy. Anyway, only the important heroines would be like this.
Like Ying Ji, she was already at 100 fallen value, and he could do whatever he wanted with her. The same was true of Wu Bingchan’s mother.
Wu Bingchan’s mother belonged to the kind of character who was only mentioned in passing in the novel, something outside the main plot.
If not for Qin Tian, then according to the normal course of the story, Wu Bingchan’s mother would not have had any role. She would either have existed only as background for the heroine at the beginning, or as a later trigger for some opportunity.
This could be considered a kind of bug exploit.
Using characters outside the plot to deal with characters inside the plot often worked wonders.
For example: a protagonist whose father and mother both die at the start, or some villain who dies early.
At this thought, Qin Tian’s eyes lit up. He had read the system’s introduction to Lin Fan, and Lin Fan really did have a mother he could operate on.
"I’ve given you everything you wanted. According to the agreement, you have to let me leave," Lin Fan said, clutching the treasures in his arms.
"Get lost," Qin Tian said, glancing at that idiot. And he still dared to play at being a transmigrator?
No strength, but he loved acting cool. If Lin Fan had followed the other Holy Land disciples out to greet Qin Tian in the first place, then the Heavenly Sword Holy Master would not have sent Wu Bingchan to his room in order to make amends, and none of what followed would have happened.
Lin Fan bit his lip and stared fiercely at Qin Tian’s departing back. At this moment Qin Tian had an arm around Wu Bingchan’s slim waist, with the sexy Ying Ji beside him. He hated it!
He was jealous. In his eyes, the one who should be surrounded by beauties and slapping other people in the face was him!
Only after Qin Tian had completely vanished from view could Lin Fan move again. "Damn it, one day I will kill you!"
"I’m going to use the sword you gave me to stab it into your chest, hahaha." Thinking of having exchanged Lingxiao for the pile of treasures in his arms, Lin Fan felt as if something in his heart was missing, though he could not tell what. Still, he was happy enough.
Because Qin Tian had sealed off the surrounding area, he did not alert anyone in the Holy Land. Lin Fan easily escaped. In a cave, he excitedly placed the treasures in his arms on the ground.
With a trembling heart and shaking hands, he opened the manual. The first thing that entered his eyes was:
"To practice this divine art, one must first castrate himself."
"Good!"
With a flash of his hand, Lin Fan cut off the little thing between his legs with a single slash of the blade. It was only a few inches long; nothing worth mentioning. Anyway, he still had the All-Things Creation Immortal Pill. Once he ascended to immortality on the spot, he could just grow it back bigger.
Holding his blood-soaked crotch with one hand, Lin Fan turned to the second page.
"If you do not castrate yourself, it is not really a big problem either."
"Pfft~" Lin Fan, furious to the point of coughing up blood, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. "I fuck your mother! I cut off my dick for nothing?"
"It’s fine, it’s fine, I still have the immortal pill. It can grow back!" Lin Fan took out that special-effects-filled All-Things Creation Immortal Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
It tasted sweet, like candy. To be honest, it was pretty good.
But after a long while, Lin Fan still did not feel his cultivation skyrocketing, nor did he ascend to immortality on the spot. The cock that had already been cut down did not grow back either. On the contrary, he had lost too much blood and was beginning to feel dizzy.
........................
"No!!!!!"
Lin Fan raised his head and howled, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
"Impossible, impossible!" Like a madman, Lin Fan flipped through the manual, only to discover that aside from the first two pages, the rest were completely blank. He was too stimulated now, his brain already short-circuiting, and he sat there stupidly on the ground.
Like a machine, he picked up that sword that looked like a light tube. When he pulled it out, he found that the blade itself was less than an inch long.
Looking at the scattered "treasures" on the ground, there was no longer any of that blinding glow from before. They were all dull and ordinary. What treasures were these? They were nothing but three candies, a few blank sheets of paper, and an ordinary iron sword shorter than a finger.
Lin Fan’s fragile heart could no longer bear it. He spat out another mouthful of blood and passed out.
....................
Ding~ Lin Fan’s dao heart has collapsed, his cock has been cut off, fate value -2000, host villain value +3000
"Huh?" Qin Tian’s expression turned strange. That stupid kid really cut off his own cock?
The reason he had prepared these things was only to toy with Lin Fan and disgust him. He never really intended to make him castrate himself, but Lin Fan had been far too honest. At the very least, he should have flipped a few more pages!
"What is it, Young Master?" Wu Bingchan lifted her head from between Qin Tian’s legs and looked at him curiously, thinking she had done something wrong and made him uncomfortable.
"Nothing. Keep going." Qin Tian pressed her head back down.
..................
"My son’s aura is nearby. The Heavenly Sword Holy Land has some nerve, daring to imprison my son."
At this moment, outside the cave where Lin Fan was located, a middle-aged man walked over. He had a sturdy build, wore a tattered black robe, dark skin, and a big beard. He looked like some ragpicker or wandering hobo, but his aura was thick and steady, and his strength was unfathomable.
As soon as he entered the cave, he saw Lin Fan lying there with blood all over his crotch. He immediately rushed forward, lifted Lin Fan up, and fed him a few pills to keep him alive.
The middle-aged man’s eyes turned blood-red as he roared, "Who dares to injure my son like this? I will tear him to pieces, AHHHH!"
A terrifying pressure burst out from the middle-aged man, sweeping over the surrounding hundreds of li and flattening everything around them!
"First, take Fan’er back to heal. When he wakes up, I want to see who dares hurt my son, Lin Ritian!"
