190: Chapter 190 Bai Qi is convinced, truly convinced now.

Half a day later, in a small courtyard with stone houses arranged in a 'pin' shape in the south of Sunset City.

The courtyard gate was pushed open, and Qin Feng strode in.

He had just ordered the Cloud-Piercing Eagle to fly back to the mountains outside the city and wait for orders; after all, a Half-step Golden Core Yao Beast was too eye-catching and could easily attract unnecessary trouble.

As soon as he pushed open the door to the stone house, the conversation inside clearly reached Qin Feng's ears.

"Sister Bai, why must you make things difficult for your own body? Eat something; I added third-grade Bone-Mending Grass to the chicken soup, which is extremely beneficial for your recovery."

There was a hint of helplessness and sincerity in Zhao Simin's voice, though in truth, it might not have been entirely sincere.

Primarily, Zhao Simin knew she could not beat the other woman, and she also knew that this woman would eventually submit.

Crucially, she had also followed Qin Feng's orders and beaten the other woman severely... If she did not build a good relationship now, she would definitely end up in serious trouble later.

"Pah... Zhao Simin, you... spineless bitch..."

Bai Qi was suspended in mid-air, her face deathly pale without a trace of blood, but she still gritted her teeth and turned her head away with great effort: "Want me to submit to that villain... In your dreams. If you have the guts, just let him kill me..."

Zhao Simin sighed and withdrew the spoon, looking at the stubborn woman, and said helplessly: "Sister Bai, why don't you understand yet? We are the fish on the chopping block, and he is the one holding the knife. What can you gain by resisting a madman who can take your life at any moment?"

"You keep saying that the people behind you will come to save you, but how many days have passed now? A beast tide is breaking out outside, who would care about a missing assassin like you?"

"Besides... you didn't see the phenomenon triggered when Master reached the Foundation Establishment Stage; that is simply not a height an ordinary Cultivator can reach. Listen to my advice, face reality... Being a dog means you get bones to eat, which is still better than being dead..."

Bai Qi's delicate body trembled violently. Zhao Simin's cruel yet realistic words were like a heavy hammer, striking her dwindling pride again and again.

That's right... in the cold and cruel world of cultivation, who would come to save a failed pawn?

Just at the moment Bai Qi's resolve wavered, the door creaked open.

Qin Feng brushed the non-existent dust off his sleeves, wearing a faint, wicked smile, and strode in.

"Master!" Upon seeing Qin Feng, Zhao Simin shivered all over. Almost instinctively, she dropped to her knees with a thud, bowing her waist in a genuine arc.

"This servant greets Master, and respectfully welcomes Master back to the manor!"

Zhao Simin's voice was crisp and pleasant, and the submissiveness in her tone was without a hint of falseness.

Qin Feng nodded slightly, pulled over a chair, and sat down carelessly, his cold and playful gaze landing on Bai Qi, who was suspended in mid-air.

"Well? Great Assassin Bai, have you considered it clearly? Do you want to continue hanging up there in the wind, or have you figured out how to be an obedient dog?"

Qin Feng sneered, his tone full of disdain.

Bai Qi gritted her teeth tightly, looking at that handsome face filled with arrogance and coldness, and then at the extremely docile Zhao Simin kneeling on the ground.

In the end, all her persistence and the pride of a Foundation Establishment expert completely collapsed at this moment.

"Ser... servant... greets Master..." Bai Qi closed her eyes, two lines of humiliating tears sliding down her swollen cheeks, her voice as faint as a gnat's.

"Speak up, this Young Master cannot hear you." Qin Feng tapped the tabletop indifferently with his finger.

"Servant Bai Qi, greets Master!" Bai Qi used all her strength, shouting out with a sobbing tone.

"Haha, very good." Qin Feng laughed loudly and waved his large sleeve violently.

"Retract!" The dark green demon-binding vine wrapped around the other party instantly flew back into his sleeve.

"Ah—!" Having lost her restraint, Bai Qi's delicate body went limp, and she fell directly from mid-air.

Zhao Simin, standing to the side, was quick-witted and agile; she immediately stepped forward a few paces, extended a pair of warm, soft arms, and steadily caught the limp and powerless Bai Qi.

"Sister Bai, what's past is past. From now on, we are sisters." Zhao Simin looked at her with a sense of shared fate, wiping the tear stains off her face while whispering, "Come, I will take you to bathe and change your clothes first to wash off the blood and filth from your body. Don't make Master unhappy again..."

"Mn... thank you, sister..." Bai Qi leaned weakly on Zhao Simin's shoulder, blushing, and replied in an extremely quiet voice.

Immediately after, Zhao Simin turned back and bowed to Qin Feng: "Master, this servant is taking Sister Bai to bathe."

"Go, get her cleaned up well; this Young Master dislikes the smell of blood." Qin Feng waved his hand and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

"Yes, Master."

About half an hour later. The wooden door of the stone house was gently pushed open a crack. Bai Qi walked in, looking somewhat uneasy, dressed in a light pink, form-fitting Water Cloud Fairy Dress.

That fairy dress was originally Zhao Simin's, but it appeared somewhat tight on Bai Qi, outlining her already full and exaggerated hip and waist curves even more provocatively. Her damp black hair was draped casually over her fragrant shoulders, carrying a lingering, intoxicating scent of herbal medicine.

She kept her head lowered, her snow-white, jade-like hands twisting together uneasily, her pretty face flushed with the post-bath glow and an unprecedented shyness.

Moving to within three feet of Qin Feng, Bai Qi bent her legs and knelt on the ground, somewhat awkwardly and with a touch of humiliation. She said in a shy, trembling voice: "Ser... servant, greets Master... Please punish me, Master..."

Looking at the enchanting, delicate body radiating infinite temptation before him, Qin Feng's teacup paused slightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a wicked arc.

"It seems you have learned the rules of the past few days quite well."

As he spoke, Qin Feng put down the teacup, stood up, and paced to stand in front of her, looking down at her blood-pumping figure, and ordered: "However, just calling me nicely with your mouth is not enough. Come here and knead this Young Master's legs."

Hearing the order, Bai Qi's delicate body stiffened. Although there was still a trace of instinctive struggle from a Foundation Establishment expert deep in her heart, in the face of Qin Feng's powerful pressure, all resistance was instantly disintegrated.

"Yes... Master..." She bit her red lips, raised her pair of soft, boneless jade hands with a tremble, and crawled on her knees to Qin Feng's feet, beginning to knead his thighs gently, extremely awkwardly yet trying her best to appear docile.

Warm breath accompanied by a faint body scent wafted over. Qin Feng closed his eyes in satisfaction, enjoying the maid's service comfortably.

"The strength is just right. From now on, you and Simin will stay by my side as maids to serve tea and water. If you perform meritorious service, this Young Master naturally won't treat you unfairly." Qin Feng said indifferently with his eyes closed.

"This servant understands, thank you for your grace, Master..." Bai Qi hung her head low, two flushes of red having already spread to the base of her snow-white neck, her hands kneading even more diligently.

At this moment, she no longer had her previous resentment and unwillingness.

The room was silent for a long, long time... Until Qin Feng felt he had enjoyed enough, he stretched slightly.

He stood up, reached out to lift Bai Qi's exquisite and beautiful face, and the corners of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile: "Since you have decided to work for me from now on, shouldn't we reveal our bottom lines to each other?"

"Ser... servant will listen to Master in everything. Whether it is combat power or cultivation, I am willing to let Master understand my depth..." Bai Qi stopped her hand movements, tucked her hair, a flush of red appearing on her cheeks, and replied softly.
