181: Top-level skills, despised slaves
It was only when a slightly warm small hand covered his body that Han Lie understood what the most awesome Pile Stance in the world truly was!
The previous Nameless Pile Stance was actually a health-preserving cultivation method, and its tempering of vital energy and blood was not as intense.
The God-Demon Heaven Piercing Ape Pile Stance, on the other hand, essentially mimics the movements of the God-Demon Heaven Piercing Ape to mobilize the circulation of vital energy and blood. This is quite counter-human in nature; while the speed of vital energy and blood tempering is very fast, it causes some damage to the body.
But now, the Grand Dao Pile Stance can both connect with heaven and earth, gently refine one's body, and achieve an ultimate body-tempering effect.
Han Lie took a quick glance.
In just a few touches, his vital energy and blood had surged by dozens, a speed that was undeniably fast.
“Not bad!”
Han Lie began to enjoy it.
At this moment, the entire Jile Pavilion was as quiet as a library. All the servants had voluntarily retreated outside, leaving only Ji Nu, ready to be summoned at any time.
But what Han Lie didn't know was that,
the servants outside had changed their expressions. They were chattering excitedly, naturally discussing Han Lie inside the room.
However, their eyes held a hint of disdain, and their tone was somewhat contemptuous.
“Is that one inside really the strongest of this batch? This is it?!”
“Yeah, the speed of his downfall is too fast, to be honest…”
The young woman who had previously played the role of a refined lady slightly frowned at this moment. “I didn’t even use much strength or tricks, and he fell. It feels like we weren't actively seducing him, but rather he voluntarily jumped into the lap of luxury. Is this a top-tier Heavenly Pride?!”
“Perhaps the quality of this batch is too poor?”
“No way!”
The young woman shook her head. “I just inquired, and the other outsiders all showed strong vigilance, making them difficult to bewitch quickly. To completely capture them, the other clan members said they would have to expend considerable effort… Only this one of ours is an oddball!”
“Huh?” Everyone burst out laughing upon hearing this.
“There’s such a good thing?”
“Phew—”
Someone breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled:
“When I was initially assigned to the first outsider who came to us, my heart went cold. I kept thinking, ‘When will this end!’”
“But I didn't expect that this so-called 'first one' would be so easily bewitched. Doesn't that mean…!!”
“We might be free tomorrow?”
“Possibly!”
The beautiful young woman smiled broadly, but the words she spoke sent shivers down one's spine.
“Everyone, practice well today. Don't let me find anyone slacking off, otherwise, you know…”
“As long as we get through today…”
Her face held a hopeful expression. “Tomorrow, we will be his masters. I believe, given Ji Nu Sister's personality, he probably won't live past noon tomorrow. According to the rules, we'll be liberated then!!”
“Yay!!”
Everyone cheered joyfully.
Then, their mouths kept moving, still looking down on Han Lie:
“But it should be fine, he’s completely fallen!”
“It’s just a bit unfair to Yu Ni Sister-in-law. That kid looks like a pervert, who knows what he’ll do to Yu Ni Sister-in-law!”
“Ah, this is fate. But he'll definitely die tomorrow, so we don't need to bother with a dead man!!”
“Yes, and thanks to him being a good-for-nothing. If he really wasn't interested in our charm, that would truly be terrible!”
Just then,
Lü Nu walked out of the building and, upon hearing everyone's comments, slightly frowned.
Of course,
she absolutely had not developed any feelings for Han Lie. Hundreds of years of training were only to serve these outsiders, coupled with being confined here for so many years.
Her hatred for these outsiders,
was ingrained in her bones.
She was simply dissatisfied with everyone's attitude.
“Shut up!!”
Lü Nu’s status was clearly higher. Seeing her angry, everyone immediately stopped discussing, though they were somewhat puzzled. What kind of anger was this?
“Heh…”
Lü Nu looked around, without a trace of the arrogant young woman she had played in front of Han Lie. She said very seriously:
“Have you forgotten what the clan elders told us when we came? Do not underestimate any outsider, furthermore, the rules have no bias towards us; we have no advantage!!”
“We must respect!!”
“Every single outsider!!!”
“You now see Han Lie as if he has fallen into a lap of luxury…”
When Lü Nu said this, she remembered the words Han Lie had said to her earlier and recalled the fluctuations in her own emotions.
She felt even more apprehensive.
She said rationally:
“But who among you can ensure that he won't completely forget everything that just happened when he cultivates? You must remember he is the number one Heavenly Pride. As long as he isn’t affected by the day's events, his cultivation speed will certainly be astonishing!!”
“This?”
Everyone wanted to say, 'This can't be, can it?'
Just now he was immersed in pleasure, and the next second he's wholeheartedly cultivating? Is that possible?
It must be known that this timing is quite precise. The reason it's twenty-two hours, not twenty-one hours, is the result of repeated research and experimentation by the rules above.
This is the time that best tests whether the Heavenly Prides' Dao hearts are firm.
“Even if there’s a 1% chance, we must prepare with a 100% psychological expectation. We are not allowed to fail, do you understand?”
Lü Nu frowned deeply.
There were some unpleasant truths she didn't voice. Being a slave for one more day meant one more day of risk. Taking herself as an example, it seemed Han Lie hadn't made any moves today.
But tomorrow?
Could she escape?!
To be honest, looking at the time, it was too late for today, and the one who would take her place in suffering today should be Yu Ni Sister-in-law.
“Understood…!”
Everyone nodded slightly,
and adjusted their mindset.
They had to admit Lü Nu was right; they weren't allowed to fail. Who could guarantee that Han Lie wouldn't have a drastic change in personality tomorrow?
Especially after today,
all outsiders would know what kind of people they were facing. Tomorrow, countless outsiders would die.
So, realizing the truth, would they be cruel enough to kill all the slaves?!
Although the power of the rules should not allow such a thing to happen, it would be perfectly reasonable for so many people to vent their emotions and kill thirty to fifty people.
No one wanted to be among those thirty to fifty!
“Today, we’ll go all out!!”
“Go all out!!”
Everyone clenched their fists,
united in purpose, already feeling the tense excitement of heading to a battlefield.
Undoubtedly,
they were ready!!
Just waiting for the cultivation time to arrive!!!
..................
Soon,
the twenty-two hours of enjoyment,
entered its countdown.
And Han Lie,
made a move that left everyone stunned.
He stretched lazily.
And said to Yu Ni:
“Come, I’ll give you a massage!”
“???”
“Isn’t it time, Young Master…?”
“Time? Time for what?”
Han Lie subconsciously said, “It’s fine, if it’s time, I’ll just add more hours!”
