34: Chapter 34 Subduing Yan Qingyu

“Boom!”

Guan Yu swung his saber, the Saber Qi sweeping across the battlefield with overwhelming force.

Caught off guard, the Grand Elder was split in half by this peerlessly domineering Saber Qi. Before he could even scream, he dissolved into a mist of blood, his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

The Third Elder and Sixth Elder trembled in fear and turned to flee, but with a casual wave from Guan Yu, two streaks of Saber Qi instantly pierced their chests, and they both collapsed straight down.

“Xiaoyun!” Xiang Tian broke free from Yan Qingyu's restraint and rushed to Xiahou Yun's side in a single bound, pulling her tightly into his arms. “Are you alright?”

“I'm fine, just a bit exhausted... Pfft!” Xiahou Yun was about to say she was okay when a surge of blood rose in her chest, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, her face instantly turning pale.

To the side, Yan Qingyu's eyelids twitched wildly. Looking at Guan Yu's back, her heart was filled with horror.

This red-faced giant was too strong! The Grand Elder, a Martial Emperor Realm expert, couldn't even block a single strike?

She subconsciously took half a step back, quietly reaching for a teleportation talisman in her storage ring, planning to grease her soles and slip away.

“Sect Leader Yan, thinking of leaving?” Xiang Tian turned to look at her. “Since you've come, did you think you could leave so easily?”

Although this woman hadn't directly tried to kill them, she was still the Grand Elder's accomplice. How could he let her get away unscathed?

“Guan Yu, take that woman down!” Xiang Tian commanded.

Guan Yu turned at the command, gripping the green dragon crescent blade, and walked toward Yan Qingyu step by step. His Aura was so majestic it made it hard for her to breathe.

“Xiang Tian, don't kill me!” Yan Qingyu quickly pulled out a handkerchief, squeezed out a few tears, and put on a pitiful act. “Is it easy for a weak woman like me to support so many people in the Meiying Sect? I was also deluded by the Grand Elder this time; I only came to make up the numbers because I accepted a few Spirit Stones from him!”

Xiang Tian looked at her tearful appearance and chuckled inwardly.

This woman certainly knew how to act, but she was truly beautiful. It would indeed be a pity to kill her.

“Xiang Tian, please spare me! I'm also a person with a bitter life!” Seeing that he was unmoved, Yan Qingyu gritted her teeth and made a difficult decision. “At most... I will recognize you as my Master from now on. I'll do whatever you want me to do!” She secretly regretted it. Had she known the Grand Elder's opponent was this difficult to deal with, she wouldn't have come even if she were given more Spirit Stones!

“Oh? I don't need a maidservant.” Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow, intentionally teasing her.

“How could you not need me?” Yan Qingyu hurriedly took a step forward, her gaze seductive. “I can not only be your enforcer and help you settle troubles, but I can also attend to your bed at night and serve you comfortably...”

“Attend to my bed?” Xiang Tian's gaze swept over her curvaceous figure, and he couldn't help but swallow. “You do have some looks, but a powerful woman like you might be more than I can handle!”

“You can control my Divine Soul!” Yan Qingyu offered the control of her Divine Soul without hesitation. “That way, you won't have to worry about me betraying you. I will treat you well willingly!”

“Hiss! Now that's an offer I can't refuse.” Xiang Tian's heart stirred.

He currently had no real backing. Having a Martial Emperor Realm expert following him would make things much more convenient in the future.

Moreover, with a beauty like Yan Qingyu delivering herself to his door, it would be a waste not to take her!

“Master, please take me in!” Yan Qingyu knelt on one knee, her tone respectful.

Xiang Tian was secretly pleased. He turned and asked within his Sea of Consciousness, “Senior, how do I control someone's Divine Soul?”

“That's simple.” You Lingqing gave a light laugh and transmitted a mantra to Xiang Tian. “This is the Soul Locking Hand. With your current cultivation, you can't control others unless they voluntarily hand over control. Since she's offering herself, you can just use the mantra to refine her Divine Soul mark.”

Xiang Tian nodded and circulated his spiritual energy according to the mantra. Soon, he felt a faint connection and successfully controlled Yan Qingyu's Divine Soul.

“Master!” After her Divine Soul was controlled, Yan Qingyu's eyes instantly became infatuated, and an instinctive sense of closeness welled up in her heart.

She stood up and quickly walked to Xiang Tian's side, almost pressing her entire body against him, her tone flirtatious. “Don't call me Sect Leader Yan, it's too distant. Just call me Qingyu.”

“Haha! Qingyu.” Looking at her seductive appearance, Xiang Tian felt a surge of heat in his heart. “I see it's getting late. Why don't we find a cave to rest and have a good 'chat'?”

“Master, do you want to Dual Cultivate with me right now?” Yan Qingyu's cheeks flushed slightly, with a hint of anticipation. “I... I don't have experience in this area yet, so please be gentle...”

“Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Qingyu to still be a virgin! This is exactly what I like!” Xiang Tian smacked his lips, his heart blooming with joy.

This trip was truly a massive gain!

He picked up Xiahou Yun and said to Yan Qingyu, “Qingyu, take us to the nearest cave.”

“Yes, Master.” Yan Qingyu responded respectfully. Her gaze fell on Guan Yu nearby, and she asked in confusion, “What about this follower?”

“Don't worry about him.” Xiang Tian waved his hand. His mind was currently full of Yan Qingyu's image; how could he care about Guan Yu?

Not long after, Yan Qingyu led Xiang Tian to a dry and spacious cave.

Xiang Tian gently placed Xiahou Yun on a nearby stone, covered her with an outer garment, and then impatiently pounced toward Yan Qingyu.

“Master, please be gentle. I heard the first time is very painful...” Yan Qingyu closed her eyes, her cheeks crimson, her body trembling slightly.

“Don't worry, I'll be very gentle.” Xiang Tian picked her up, took a soft large bed out of the System space, gently pressed her down onto it, and reached out to undo her clothes.

“Ow, ow, ow!” At that moment, Xiang Tian suddenly felt his ear being violently yanked. The piercing pain instantly snapped him back to his senses.

He turned to look and saw that Xiahou Yun had woken up at some point. She was glaring at him with eyes wide with rage, the force in her hand increasing. “Xiang Tian, you're something else! How long was I unconscious before you dared to eye Sect Leader Yan? Look at how capable you are!”

“How are you awake?” Xiang Tian looked speechless. This woman was simply his nemesis, specifically here to ruin his fun!

“Fine! Were you hoping I'd die sooner so no one would be around to control you?” Xiahou Yun's chest heaved with anger, and the strength in her hand intensified again.

“No, no, absolutely not!” Xiang Tian quickly begged for mercy. “I just felt that she had just recognized me as Master, and I was afraid she had ill intentions, so I wanted to take the opportunity to 'influence' her!”

In the end, Xiang Tian didn't get his way.

With Xiahou Yun watching like a hawk, he had no chance to make a move. He could only watch helplessly as the beauty within his reach flew away.

Xiahou Yun pulled Yan Qingyu to sit aside and asked with a frown, “Sect Leader Yan, why are you calling him Master? Does he have some kind of leverage over you?”

She hadn't been unconscious for long, yet Yan Qingyu had undergone such a massive change. It was truly suspicious.

“I am no longer Sect Leader Yan; I am Master's little maidservant,” Yan Qingyu said respectfully. “You are Master's Dao Companion, so you are my Mistress.”

Xiahou Yun's mouth twitched, her face full of helplessness.

This was a figure who could stand on equal footing with her Master, and now she had become Xiang Tian's maidservant. If this got out, wouldn't it cause an uproar?

“What kind of leverage does Xiang Tian actually have on you?” Xiahou Yun didn't give up and continued to press her.

“There is no leverage. Master is very good to me, and I just want to be close to Master.” Yan Qingyu's face was full of sincerity.

Xiahou Yun rolled her eyes and thought to herself: It's over, this woman is beyond saving.

However, having such a powerful woman as Yan Qingyu protecting Xiang Tian didn't seem like a bad thing... but the thought of Xiang Tian Dual Cultivating with her made her feel uneasy. She was ten thousand percent against it!

“Don't call me Mistress. We shall call each other sisters from now on,” Xiahou Yun said. “I'll call you Big Sister Yan, and you call me Little Sister Xiahou. How about it?”

“No, I am Master's maidservant. I cannot stand on equal footing with the Mistress,” Yan Qingyu said stubbornly.

Xiahou Yun was completely speechless. What kind of situation was this!

She turned to look at Xiang Tian and said crossly, “Xiang Tian, can you make her normal again? It's very difficult for us to communicate like this.”

“Xiaoyun, only after she Dual Cultivates with me can the Divine Soul control be lifted and she can become normal,” Xiang Tian said solemnly.

“Get lost!” Xiahou Yun really wanted to slap him to death. “The old you wouldn't be like this!”

Ever since Xiang Tian changed, she had been angrier than ever before.

“Then there's nothing I can do.” Xiang Tian shrugged with an innocent look. “You two chat slowly; I'm going to sleep for a bit.” He lay on the large bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

After a day of chaos, he was indeed exhausted.

In the cave, the two women began to chatter, from cultivation insights to Sect trivialities. They actually got along quite well.

The next morning, Xiang Tian woke up in a daze and found that Xiahou Yun and Yan Qingyu had laid down beside him at some point, sleeping soundly. One of Xiahou Yun's legs was even pressing down on him, and her hair had fallen across his face.

“Xiaoyun, wake up. You're pressing on my hair.” Xiang Tian gently pushed Xiahou Yun.

Xiahou Yun rubbed her eyes and woke up. After a night's rest, her injuries had mostly healed.

“Master, can I go back to the Meiying Sect first?” Yan Qingyu also woke up and asked respectfully. “I have to go back and arrange the Sect's affairs so that I can stay by Master's side with a peaceful mind later.”

“Mm, you can.” Xiang Tian nodded. Looking at her seductive appearance, he felt a bit of regret.

He hadn't succeeded last night. He thought for a moment and said, “Qingyu, you don't need to be so subservient in front of me. Just be as you were before. You are, after all, the leader of a Sect; you can't be my maidservant forever.”

“Master...” Yan Qingyu was somewhat moved.

“From now on, just call me Young Master,” Xiang Tian said. “No need to be so formal.”

“Yes, Young Master,” Yan Qingyu responded. She leaned over and kissed Xiang Tian on the cheek. “Young Master, once I've handled the Sect's business, I'll come find you.”

Watching Yan Qingyu's departing figure, Xiang Tian felt a surge of heat.

But when he turned around, he met Xiahou Yun's glaring eyes.

Xiang Tian quickly withdrew his gaze, put the large bed back into the System space, and gave a dry cough. “Let's head back too. It's time to deal with the Haotian Sect's business.”
