Fa Qing’s face was deathly pale, resembling the mourning of a lost parent, her pride, however, prevented her from succumbing, as she struggled internally.
But then, Xu Gu’s next words made her collapse completely:
"Submit to me, or else, the three cities of the Mage Clan will belong to the Human Clan, and your Mage Clan will inevitably face destruction!"
This declaration resonated in her mind like a nuclear explosion.
Utterly shattering her pride.
Fa Qing, slender and delicate, clenched her red lips, her face ghostly white to the extreme, her body trembling, and her heart filled with endless despair, grief, and deep humiliation.
And the cost was devastating.
Once her Mage Clan lost their only three cities, tens of millions of clanspeople would be driven from their homes, only to die at the jaws of the Steel Beast and the Mechanical Monster.
"As long as... I submit to you, become your Car Servant, you will not take our three cities?"
Fa Qing felt as if her heart had died.
The humiliation in her heart reached its peak.
She was the Saintess of the Mage Clan!
Exalted, untainted, and proud, revered as a deity by countless of her people, held aloft like the moon among the stars.
Now, she had to become the Car Servant of Xu Gu.
As she uttered these words, she felt as if she was about to cough up blood.
Yet there was no choice, if she alone could trade for the safety of three cities, this deal was not a loss!
Xu Gu smiled and said, "It’s not that simple.
"After becoming my Car Servant, you must also continue to be the Saintess of the Mage Clan, and do so forever."
He could have simply turned Fa Qing into a Combat Puppet with one stroke. But then she could no longer be the Saintess, because she couldn’t be away from him for too long or too far.
But what Xu Gu truly desired was the entire Mage Clan. Not just a beauty with good looks, temperament, and figure.
A flicker of complexity passed through Fa Qing’s beautiful eyes.
Initially, she thought Xu Gu was pursuing some sort of peculiar thrill.
Soon after, she realized Xu Gu’s plan.
He wanted her to help him control the Mage Clan.
"In your dreams!" Fa Qing sneered, her Mage Clan’s power was divided into two, one part hers, the other belonged to her master, the Great Sage.
When the time came, she just needed to transfer the power to the Great Sage.
Even being the Saintess would be futile.
"It’s possible." After struggling to the utmost, Fa Qing still submitted, she couldn’t just watch the Mage Clan walk towards destruction, she firmly stated:
"I can remain the Saintess, and I can serve you forever. But, you must allow us to keep our original three cities!"
"It’s possible," Xu Gu said with a smile: "Let’s sign the contract and agreement. The Creator System will notarize this for us and enforce our compliance."
Fa Qing gritted her teeth and chose to become Xu Gu’s Car Servant.
A warmth spread through the secret places of her body, followed shortly by the appearance of Xu Gu’s name.
Giving rise to a peculiar sensation within her.
From today onwards, she would no longer be the highly revered, immensely noble Saintess of the Mage Clan, but rather Xu Gu’s private possession, a mere plaything.
At this thought, her eyes brimmed with moisture, and a tear trickled down.
"My trade for three cities is worth it."
And Li Xingyue, Yang Xue, and others who were silently observing everything were dumbstruck.
Xu Gu had enslaved the Saintess of the Mage Clan just like that?!
As for Xu Gu using the three cities of the Mage Clan as leverage, they didn’t think much of it.
Because without Xu Gu, not just the Mage Clan’s three cities, but even the Human Clan’s would have been lost!
Xu Gu himself felt no burden on his conscience.
He was talented but not virtuous.
It was already good enough that the Human Clan had something to fall back on.
As for the Mage Clan, he had it all wrapped up!
Of course, he knew that this was just the beginning, and to fully secure the Mage Clan, some planning was still required, but that was insignificant.
After all, even their Saintess had become his Car Servant.
