Chapter 54: Su Xueni Unveils Xiao Chen’s Schemes
“The Crown Prince of Beiyang!”
Although Jiuying had never seen him in person, seeing everyone around bowing, how could it be false?
Thinking this way, everything made sense. If not for such a favored son of heaven like the Crown Prince of Beiyang, how could he possess the might of the Ancestral Dragon?
Relying on the Heaven Dominion Realm, he could directly suppress a beast of the Transcendent Realm. His combat power was undeniably terrifying!
Today, there were only two choices: either submit to him or die. What else was there to think about? Maybe following him, it could enjoy a good life in the future.
At least, it wouldn’t be so shameful to be seen by others.
“I, Jiuying, am willing to pull the carriage for the Crown Prince and serve as a lifelong servant.”
“Very well.” Lin Qi’an controlled the flying sword to cut his fingertip, a drop of blood floated out, imprinting on a piece of talisman paper.
This was a “Blood Contract Talisman Paper” exchanged with villain points.
Once a blood contract was established, the servant could never disobey the master for life. If the master died, the servant would die as well.
The talisman paper flew to Jiuying’s forehead and slowly merged into its body and the contract was established.
At the same time, the system prompt sounded.
【Ding! Task completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward “Beast-Control Spirit Pot.”】
With this, any other rare birds and beasts he subdues in the future could be directly stored in it, like a portable pet box.
Very convenient!
“Come in first.” Lin Qi’an took out the Spirit Pot and collected Jiuying into it.
Otherwise, others would still be too scared to approach it.
“Jiuying… has it really been subdued by the Crown Prince?”
“Yes! The blood contract was established just now.”
“Great! We will never have to worry about beast attacks again!”
“Too bad I couldn’t personally kill that beast! But thinking it will pull the carriage for the Crown Prince for life, it feels satisfying.”
“Don’t say that, isn’t it an honor to pull the carriage for the Crown Prince?”
The beast tide had subsided and everyone began to help clean up the aftermath. The Yushou Sect suffered a great calamity, with nearly seventy percent destroyed.
Yet everyone felt that this was a turning point for the Yushou Sect, likely leading to its rise. The one most affected was undoubtedly Xiao Chen.
Originally, it was he who should have subdued Jiuying, saved everyone, and received admiration, but all of this was taken by Lin Qi’an.
“Damn… Lin Qi’an… Once again, you have taken everything from me. I, Xiao Chen, will definitely kill you!” He clenched his fists in the shadows, nearly grinding his teeth to pieces.
【Ding! Xiao Chen’s path to rise was interrupted. Luck value -250, host villain points +2500】
So much luck value deducted? It seemed this was a big blow to him.
After the aftermath was almost cleaned up. Ran Yuwei prepared to support the Sect Master back for treatment.
At this moment, she recalled Xiao Chen fleeing alone at the critical moment, feeling a chill in her heart.
The Sect Master was injured to save him, but he wanted to take her away, abandoning the Sect Master.
“Sister Ran!” At this moment, Xiao Chen ran back.
Although he intended to painfully abandon Ran Yuwei when he fled, since she was unharmed, he thought he could still salvage the situation.
After all, Sister Ran, lively and friendly, was the one he admired. Moreover, her beast affinity physique was beneficial to his cultivation of the Beast Suppression Scroll. He couldn’t easily give up.
“Sister Ran, are you alright!” Xiao Chen ran to Ran Yuwei’s side, asking with urgent concern, but he received a cold response.
“You fled, why come back?”
“Sister Ran, it’s a misunderstanding! How could I abandon you? I went to get reinforcements, and now I’ve returned.” Xiao Chen hurriedly explained.
These words slightly lessened the coldness in Ran Yuwei’s heart.
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true! I, Xiao Chen, swear, if there’s half a lie, may I be struck by lightning.” Xiao Chen raised three fingers, swearing firmly.
“Oh? Then may I ask, Xiao Chen, why would you let others go to their deaths?” At this moment, a woman in a moon-white dress approached.
With elegant steps and noble temperament, she was as beautiful as a moon fairy. In these days, under Lin Qi’an’s arrangements, Su Xueni had interacted with Ran Yuwei a lot.
Ran Yuwei had a good impression of this beautiful woman.
“Who are you? Stop talking nonsense!” Xiao Chen spoke angrily, his face already flushing with rage.
He never expected this woman to see through his scheme at once.
“I am Su Xueni, the Saintess of Tianchi Holy Land, now serving as the Crown Prince’s maid. I saw Xiao Chen’s battle with Jiuying clearly.”
“If I’m not mistaken, the scroll that almost subdued Jiuying is the ancient treasure, Beast Suppression Scroll.” Su Xueni smiled gently.
Xiao Chen was struck like lightning! His greatest secret was revealed by her in one sentence, how could he not be shocked?
“The Beast Suppression Scroll can collect rare birds and beasts into the scroll, allowing the owner to gain corresponding powers.”
“Xiao Chen let others die to consume Jiuying’s strength, creating the perfect opportunity to subdue it, right?”
Every word from Su Xueni hit the mark. Leaving Xiao Chen feeling like a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
“Junior Brother Xiao, is… is she telling the truth?” Ran Yuwei’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
