110: Chapter 110 Extortion? I'm an expert!
When Young Mistress Shangguan Wulei said this, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence.
Immediately after, an uproar erupted!
Previously, appointing Jiang Feng as the Third War Slave had only made the male slaves jealous and the female warriors surprised.
But now, her declaration that "seeing him is like seeing me" had completely overturned everyone's perception!
What did that even mean?
It meant that this white-haired man of unknown origin now possessed supreme power within this tribe, second only to the Young Mistress herself!
It also meant that Young Mistress Shangguan Wulei had broken the thousand-year rule of Yunmeng Marsh, where women were superior to men, all for the sake of Jiang Feng.
The way all the male slaves in the tribe looked at Jiang Feng had completely shifted from jealousy and resentment to awe and fear.
Even those tough female warriors no longer looked at Jiang Feng with mere curiosity and scrutiny, but with a hint of gravity.
Even Jiang Feng himself was momentarily stunned.
This woman, was she really going to play it this big?
He had expected her to at most call off the bet or grant him a symbolic title to facilitate their cooperation.
Who would have thought that Young Mistress Shangguan Wulei would directly elevate him to such a prominent and coveted position.
This woman was either incredibly broad-minded or unfathomably deep in her schemes.
Her show of favor was genuine, but so was her intent to put him on the spot and test him.
"Everyone, disperse."
Young Mistress Shangguan Wulei waved her hand, her tone flat, yet no one dared to disobey.
The crowd dispersed, and those male slaves with broken limbs were hurriedly carried away by their companions, with the unconscious The Third Battle Slave on the ground also being hauled away.
Soon, only Jiang Feng and Young Mistress Shangguan Wulei remained on the open ground.
"You have seen my sincerity."
Young Mistress Shangguan Wulei walked up to Jiang Feng, her wild eyes fixed directly on him.
"As long as you have the strength, I can grant you the corresponding status."
"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Feng asked, his expression unchanged.
"It's simple," Young Mistress Shangguan Wulei said, a curve forming on her lips. "Be my most loyal ally."
She reached out a finger and tapped Jiang Feng's chest.
"You will help me sweep away all obstacles, including my high-and-mighty dear sister, Shangguan Wuqing."
"In return, I will grant you power second only to my own, and the entire intelligence network of the Chilian Tribe will operate for you to help find the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Technique."
"Deal," Jiang Feng nodded, crisp and decisive.
He glanced at the half-demolished wooden hut.
"However, the place I was staying has been smashed, so you'll have to compensate me."
Young Mistress Shangguan Wulei's expression stiffened.
This guy really refused to suffer even the slightest loss!
"Someone!" she shouted into the distance.
Immediately, two masked male servants came running over, trembling, and knelt on the ground.
"Clean this place up, then go to the storehouse and get the best building materials to rebuild a house according to his requirements."
"Yes, Young Mistress."
After giving her instructions, Young Mistress Shangguan Wulei took one last deep look at Jiang Feng and turned to leave.
She needed time to digest the shock of today and to re-evaluate the value and danger of this man.
Jiang Feng ignored the two terrified male servants and walked straight back to the half-demolished wooden hut, where he sat down cross-legged.
He closed his eyes, replaying every moment of his fight with Young Mistress Shangguan Wulei in his mind.
That woman's power was relentless, each punch stronger than the last, as if it had no limit.
Although it ended in a draw, Jiang Feng knew clearly that in terms of pure physical strength, he had lost by a narrow margin.
If not for his unexpected attack on her lower stance at the last moment and his own water-fire dual-element Physique, he wouldn't have lasted ten moves.
In this place without Spiritual Qi, the Physical Body was everything.
He had to get his hands on a powerful Body Refining Cultivation Technique as soon as possible!
As for the Dragon-Elephant Tyrant Body Technique, he had no leads for the time being.
Moreover, that thing was ethereal—a legend from a thousand years ago—God knows when he would ever find it.
Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
Jiang Feng frowned deeply.
Wait...
An existence he had overlooked suddenly surfaced in his mind.
That mysterious woman hiding in his Sea of Consciousness who called herself "this seat"!
He had been swept into this Great Dream Tide and ended up in this godforsaken place for no reason; it was likely all her doing.
With her level of power, how could she not have a few top-tier Body Refining Cultivation Techniques?
He wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.
Since that was the case...
He might as well "borrow" one or two from her to use—collecting a little interest wasn't too much to ask, right?
Having figured this out, Jiang Feng felt reassured. He immediately calmed his mind and probed his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness.
"Hey!"
Jiang Feng's consciousness shouted into the darkness.
"Are you awake? Stop playing dead!"
The darkness remained silent.
Jiang Feng wasn't discouraged and continued shouting, "I know you can hear me. If you don't speak, I'll take your silence as consent."
"Hurry up and give me one or two top-tier Body Refining true techniques—the best kind!"
The Sea of Consciousness remained deathly silent.
Jiang Feng curled his lip and changed his strategy.
"Fine, you won't give it to me, right?"
He sneered.
"Let me guess: the reason I ended up in this godforsaken place is because of you, isn't it?"
This time, there seemed to be a subtle fluctuation in the darkness.
Although the woman didn't reply, Jiang Feng knew he had guessed correctly!
"Very good. It seems I wasn't wrong."
Jiang Feng's tone turned abruptly grim.
"Since you were the one who brought me to this godforsaken place, and you are currently residing within my body, we are both in the same boat now."
"Now, I need a Body Refining Cultivation Technique to save my life. Are you going to give it to me or not?"
"If you don't..."
Jiang Feng paused, his voice filled with the reckless air of someone who had nothing to lose.
"Then I'm not living either! Whoever wants to stay in this dump can stay!"
"I'll go find a ten-thousand-foot cliff and jump off right now, or find a fierce beast and let it eat me. My life is cheap anyway; maybe I'll go back if I die."
"You want to reside in my body, right? If I die, let's see how you survive. For a lowly Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator like me to drag a great power with me to the Yellow Springs, I wouldn't be losing out!"
This barrage of threats and extortion finally worked.
"You… shameless!"
That charming yet exasperated female voice finally exploded in Jiang Feng's mind.
"I'm shameless? If you hadn't brought me to this godforsaken place, I'd still be back at the Jiang Family, sleeping with my beautiful concubines. That would be much better than this!"
"Quick, give me a few top-tier Body Refining true techniques, or I'll die right in front of you."
"Do you think true techniques are cabbages? You just ask for them like that! I don't have any."
The Purple-skirted Woman's voice was filled with speechlessness and annoyance.
"No, right? Well, if you don't give them to me, I'll die right here."
Jiang Feng clearly adopted the attitude of a dead pig not fearing boiling water.
The two of them fell into a brief stalemate within the Sea of Consciousness.
Jiang Feng could feel that the woman was so angry her Divine Soul was fluctuating, but she could do nothing about him.
After a long while.
The female voice sounded again, filled with deep reluctance.
"Fine! Consider me unlucky!"
"I can give you a Cultivation Technique, but it's not a High Grade true technique. It's just a Medium Grade true technique for Body Refining called the Small Golden Body Technique."
"Do you want it or not!"
"I want it! Why wouldn't I? I'll make do with it for now. As for the High Grade true technique, you can figure that out later."
"You…"
