19: Female Slave No. 19

The courtyard was in complete disarray.

Bai Fengyi stood dazed in place, watching that back figure, who looked like a demon god, carrying her daughter who had long since fainted, step by step disappearing into the depths of the courtyard; her mind was completely blank.

She had lost.

She had lost completely and utterly.

Not only had she lost the future of the Bai family, but she had also lost the daughter she was most proud of.

She had originally thought that by setting aside her dignity as the family head and personally coming to seek peace, she had already given Lin Chen enough Face.

She had originally thought that even if Lin Chen were domineering, he would still consider the relationship between the two families, or rather, consider the attitude of her, a Peak Foundation Establishment expert.

But she was wrong.

Completely and utterly wrong!

From beginning to end, she had never truly understood this young man.

In his eyes, the so-called "Bai family," the so-called "Peak Foundation Establishment," and the so-called "number one Prodigy of Qingyang City" were absolutely nothing!

Everything they were proud of, in his view, was just dust that could be crushed with a casual wave of his hand!

This was a peerless, ruthless person who did not follow common sense at all and acted solely according to his own whims!

"Pfft—!"

Thinking of this, Bai Fengyi could no longer suppress the surging Qi and blood in her heart, and she violently spat out a mouthful of blood, appearing to age ten years in an instant.

Her Face was filled with despair and regret.

She knew that from this day on, Bai Ruoxue would no longer be that radiant Bai family Prodigy, but would become the most humble and humiliated "trophy" by Lin Chen's side!

And her Bai family would also completely become the laughingstock of all of Qingyang City!

...

Meanwhile, Lin Chen carried Bai Ruoxue back to his room.

He casually tossed this woman, who had already fainted, onto the cold floor, just as if he were throwing away a piece of trash.

"Young Master..."

Lin Xiaoya and Lin Ziyan followed him in, looking at Bai Ruoxue, who was lying motionless on the ground, with complex expressions in their eyes.

"Wake her up," Lin Chen ordered indifferently.

"Yes."

Lin Ziyan stepped forward, a wisp of star power condensing on her fingertip, and gently tapped it onto the center of Bai Ruoxue's brow.

"Mmm..."

Bai Ruoxue let out a painful groan and slowly opened her eyes.

As her consciousness returned, the humiliating and desperate scene before she fainted surged back into her mind like a tide!

She sat up abruptly, and the first thing she saw was the man sitting in the main seat, coldly looking at her with a gaze that appraised her like merchandise.

"Lin Chen!"

She screamed subconsciously and wanted to mobilize her spiritual power to resist.

However, she was horrified to discover that her Qi Sea had been sealed by an incredibly domineering golden force of Qi and blood, and she couldn't muster a single bit of spiritual power!

She was now no different from an ordinary Mortal!

"Don't waste your energy," Lin Chen's voice carried no emotion. "Before I undo the Seal, you couldn't even kill a chicken."

"You... what do you want?!" In Bai Ruoxue's voice, there was finally a hint of undeniable trembling and fear.

"What do I want?" Lin Chen smiled, stood up, walked over to her, squatted down, pinched her chin, and forced her to look at him.

"From today on, your name will no longer be Bai Ruoxue."

"You are called... Female Slave Number Nineteen."

"Your task is to be responsible for cleaning this courtyard, washing the clothes of myself and them, and... doing things that can please me."

"Do you understand?"

Female Slave Number Nineteen?!

These four words, like four of the sharpest steel blades, fiercely pierced into Bai Ruoxue's heart!

Her complexion instantly drained of all color, turning as pale as paper.

She wanted to resist, wanted to curse, wanted to use the most vicious language to curse the devil before her!

But when she met Lin Chen's indifferent, cold eyes, which lacked even a hint of human emotion, all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away.

She knew that resistance was meaningless.

It would only bring about deeper torment.

In the end, endless humiliation and despair turned into two lines of clear tears that slowly slid down from her once proud and beautiful eyes.

She closed her eyes, trembling, and squeezed a few words out through her teeth:

"...This servant... understands."

Seeing this, Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction.

He knew that this once incredibly proud Dao Heart had been completely shattered by him.

And just at this moment, in his mind, the System's notification sound rang out right on cue.

【Ding! Detected that the host has successfully subdued the Heaven Rank Low Grade 【Ice Phoenix Bloodline】, and made its Dao Heart completely submit!】

【Congratulations to the host, the 【many sons, many blessings】 System side quest — "Subjugation" has been activated!】

【Subjugation Target: Bai Ruoxue】

【Bloodline】: Ice Phoenix Bloodline (Heaven Rank Low Grade)

【Current Subjugation Level】: 10%

【Task】: Increase her subjugation level. When the subjugation level reaches 100%, she can be completely converted into a "loyal servant," and you will receive rich rewards!

【First-time Subjugation Reward】: Congratulations to the host for obtaining **【dragon elephant particles x 200】! Cultivation Bottleneck loosened, about to Breakthrough to 【Foundation Establishment Realm】**!

Boom!

An incredibly pure and massive surge of energy appeared out of thin air within Lin Chen's body once again!

The dragon elephant particles in his body instantly skyrocketed from three hundred to five hundred!

And his cultivation Bottleneck, which had long since reached the Peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, instantly developed cracks under the impact of this energy!

It was just one final step away from stepping into a brand new Realm!

A trace of pleasant surprise flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

Who would have thought that simple "subjugation" could actually yield rewards?

And the rewards were so generous!

It seems that in the future, not only must he take more wives, but he also must... take in a few more disobedient "female slaves"!

He looked at the woman on the ground who was still silently weeping, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes.

This was no longer the Prodigy of the past.

This was clearly a walking, mobile, human-shaped big experience pack!
