169: Chapter 169 Empress Xuanhuang, she is my woman!

The atmosphere in the grand hall was subtle.

Upon hearing Wang Yang's conditions, Ye Liuli was stunned for a moment, and then her heart was filled with wild joy.

What was a mere maid at the Soul Transformation Stage? Even if she gave her away, what of it?

In the world of cultivation, the weak are prey to the strong. Trading a maid for a promise of action from a hidden expert to annihilate the Void Refining Late Stage demon lord threatening the entire city was a deal that was like pie falling from the sky!

Not to mention that Grandmaster Wang was so handsome and immortal-like; she definitely wouldn't be at a loss with this maid.

However, shouldn't he be asking for her to marry him? Why would he want a maid?

"Since Sect Master Wang has spoken, Liuli naturally..." Ye Liuli's red lips parted slightly. Just as she was about to agree,

the "maid Xia Xuanji" (Chu Lingyue herself) standing behind her felt her heart skip a beat, and a trace of extreme frustration flashed in her eyes!

"How dare you, Ye Liuli! Selling this Empress out so decisively?!"

Seeing that she was about to be used as a bargaining chip and sent to pour tea and water for this dangerous man, Chu Lingyue suppressed her cultivation fluctuations. Her massive Mahayana Stage Divine Sense instantly condensed into an extremely sharp needle, preemptively applying a new [Mental Suggestion] to Ye Liuli's brain!

Under this new mental suggestion from Chu Lingyue, a piece of absurd new memory was forcibly implanted into Ye Liuli's subconscious:

She and the maid Xia Xuanji had known each other for hundreds of years and were as close as sisters!

The two had even sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao years ago that if they were to marry in the future, Xuanji would have to be a concubine for her husband, and they would serve the same husband!

Therefore, Xuanji absolutely could not be used as an item for trade!

As soon as this mental suggestion took hold,

the "naturally I agree" that had been on the tip of Ye Liuli's tongue suddenly took a sharp turn due to the suggestion, turning into a flat refusal:

"Sect Master Wang, this... this is absolutely impossible!"

Ye Liuli looked troubled and grabbed Chu Lingyue's hand behind her, saying with extreme firmness: "Xuanji and I have known each other for hundreds of years and are as close as sisters! We even made a pact that we would marry the same man in the future, and she would serve my future husband as a concubine! I absolutely cannot use her for trade!"

Ye Liuli gritted her teeth and offered a new bargaining chip: "If Sect Master Wang doesn't mind, Liuli can return to the city to select ten peak-quality maids even more beautiful than Xuanji and send them over, along with double the cultivation resources! I only ask that the Sect Master take action once!"

At this moment, the System's notification sound rang out.

[Ding! Detected the Divine Soul fluctuations of a Supreme Being. Someone is tampering with the memories of an innocent Cultivator in front of the Host!]

[This is treating the Host like a fool. The System suggests that the Host take her in and teach her a lesson day and night!]

With the System's full-map monitoring, the small movements Chu Lingyue made within the Invincible Domain were instantly caught by the System, which frantically alerted Wang Yang in his mind.

"Oh? A dignified Empress has such a strange thought process that she even arranges a 'concubine' setting for herself?"

Wang Yang sat on the main seat, almost unable to hold back a laugh.

He moved his mind calmly, directly mobilizing the power of the Invincible Domain to secretly add a layer of [Mental Protection] to Ye Liuli's Sea of Consciousness.

From now on, as long as it was within Wang Yang's Domain, even if a True Immortal descended, they would not be able to tamper with any of Ye Liuli's memories.

Hearing Ye Liuli's righteous words, Chu Lingyue finally let out a sigh of relief, but deep down, she felt a wave of shame: "Concubine... This Empress has truly lost all face."

However, Grandmaster Wang shook his head decisively.

"That won't do."

Wang Yang stared at the head-bowing "Xia Xuanji" with an amused look and said unhurriedly:

"This seat is not someone who lacks women; there are countless beauties in the Hehuan Sect. But I just happen to like this little maid of yours. Aside from her, I don't want anyone else."

Under her wide sleeves, Chu Lingyue clenched her fists tightly, her delicate body trembling slightly with anger.

"Don't be in such a hurry to refuse." Wang Yang shouted toward the back hall: "Tanger, come here for a moment."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Yutang, wearing an ice-blue fairy dress, looking cold as snow yet carrying a hint of the charm of a newlywed woman, walked into the hall with light steps.

As soon as she appeared, the powerful pressure of the late Body Integration Stage naturally leaked out a little.

"Look, this is my Disciple, Jiang Yutang."

Wang Yang pointed at Jiang Yutang and smiled at Ye Liuli: "Tanger is now at the late Body Integration Stage. Sending her to help you kill a late Void Refining demon lord is as easy as pie.

Not only that, with her coming forward, she can help you firmly secure your position as the City Lord of Liuguang City."

Wang Yang leaned forward slightly, looking at Ye Liuli with great oppression:

"City Lord Ye, you wouldn't want the city that your father worked so hard to build to be destroyed by the Yao Race just like that, right?"

Feeling the Body Integration Stage pressure on Jiang Yutang, Ye Liuli was completely shocked.

"Late Body Integration Stage Senior... Jiang Yutang?!"

Ye Liuli's beautiful eyes widened, and a thunderous name suddenly came to her mind. She couldn't help but exclaim:

"This little one has heard that in the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace in the center of the Spirit Realm, Empress Xuanhuang has one and only one Personal Disciple, who seems to be named Jiang Yutang, and is also at the late Body Integration Stage... I wonder what relationship this Fairy Jiang has with the one in the Heavenly Palace?"

Just as Jiang Yutang was about to explain, Wang Yang suddenly interrupted her.

"No need to guess."

Wang Yang leaned back on the chair with extreme dominance, not blushing even while lying: "Empress Xuanhuang of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace, Chu Lingyue, is my woman.

Tanger is the Fairy Jiang you know."

"With her representing me and the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace, can she help you solve the crisis in Liuguang City?"

Standing behind Ye Liuli, the "maid Xia Xuanji" (Chu Lingyue herself) felt a "buzz" in her mind when she heard the phrase "Empress Xuanhuang is my woman," and almost went berserk on the spot!

"Arrogant! Shameless! Presumptuous!!!" Chu Lingyue's eyes instantly flashed with an extremely terrifying icy murderous intent, and her internal magic power almost lost control and burst out.

But her reason held her back at the last moment!

"Hold back! This Empress must hold back! He can enter and leave the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace at will, and even I cannot detect it... His cultivation is like a Mortal's, and I still cannot see through him. This Wang Yang is becoming more and more mysterious and terrifying!"

Chu Lingyue bit her lip hard, swallowing this bitter pill, and continued to lower her head, playing dead.

On the other side, Ye Liuli's eyes lit up to the extreme!

Fairy Jiang! She is the Personal Disciple of Empress Xuanhuang!

And Empress Xuanhuang is actually this Sect Master Wang's woman?!

The background of this Hehuan Sect is simply big enough to pierce the sky!

With Fairy Jiang coming forward, let alone intimidating the surrounding ten thousand miles, who would dare to touch a hair of Liuguang City in the surrounding large Domains?!

However... while excited, the "mental suggestion" previously implanted surfaced in Ye Liuli's mind again.

"Xuanji and I made a pact to marry the same man... If I give Xuanji to Sect Master Wang, then wouldn't I also have to..."

Ye Liuli's pretty face flushed red, and she secretly glanced at the handsome and domineering Wang Yang, her heartbeat skipping a beat for no reason.

Ye Liuli bit her red lips and said with extreme hesitation: "It's just... it's just that this concerns the lifelong oath between Xuanji and Liuli. Please allow this little one to consider it further, Sect Master."

"Fine, I am not in a hurry." Wang Yang looked at Ye Liuli, who was trapped in hesitation due to the "concubine" setting, and then looked at the "fake maid" beside her who was about to explode on the spot, and waved his hand in a great mood:

"Then tonight, the two of you, master and servant, can rest in the Hehuan Sect and think it over carefully!"
