61: Qin Mengli's shock at the goddess becoming her maid.

What was more terrifying than having her heart gripped was that at the moment of contact, Qin Mengli felt a terrifying, irresistible pressure.

The blood surging within her body completely stagnated at that moment; her limbs and bones felt as if they were locked by invisible shackles, unable to move even a single finger.

"It is the absolute suppression of a high-level Physique! The rumors are true; he really is a Chaos Body!"

"No! To be able to suppress my Primordial Spirit Sacred Body, his Physique must be even stronger than a Chaos Body!"

Qin Mengli felt hysterical inside.

One must know that the Primordial Spirit Sacred Body ranks in the top ten among the three thousand Physiques; it can command the Origin of Heaven and Earth and absorb the Divine Power of others for its own use.

Although there is still a gap compared to the number one Chaos Body, it is not far off; at the very least, they are on the same level.

Not to mention that her Primordial Spirit Sacred Body has already undergone initial Awakening, allowing her to control a type of Origin of Heaven and Earth.

This was also the source of her confidence in crushing Li Jiaoyang.

But now, her most proud Primordial Spirit Sacred Body was like an ant meeting a Dragon before Xu Jinhuan, easily suppressed to the point of having no power to resist.

This guy's Physique is too terrifying!

It is simply terrifying to the point of overturning one's understanding!

The next moment, Xu Jinhuan's other hand was raised, wrapped in Chaos Power, and another slap came flying.

The absolutely suppressed Qin Mengli could not dodge, nor could she even struggle.

Unable to dodge, unable to fight back.

Tears of humiliation could only flow from her eyes.

"Auntie, save me!"

Qin Mengli shouted.

"Sigh~"

A soft sigh echoed in the Void Realm, and the surrounding space suddenly solidified.

A graceful figure walked slowly out from behind Qin Mengli. With a slender posture and countless Divine Patterns swirling around her, her Saintly Might was awe-inspiring and vast—even several times more powerful than the Saint-level Dragon Xu Jinhuan had encountered before!

The person's gaze fell on Xu Jinhuan's hand gripping Qin Mengli's heart. Her tone was calm, yet carried the undeniable pressure of a Saint King.

"Young Master Xu, my niece meant well and holds no malice toward you. Her crime does not warrant death; I ask that you spare her life."

This is a Saint King!

Noticing this, Xu Jinhuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

To be able to have a Saint King follow and act as a Dao Protector—truly worthy of being a Goddess of the Qin Family!

However, by comparison, my own treatment is a cut above.

"Little girl of the Qin Family, you can rest assured. My Sequence Xu will not kill the innocent indiscriminately."

Before Xu Jinhuan could speak, an aged voice resounded in the mind of the Qin Family's Dao Protector.

This voice could only be heard by Qin Ruoyu, but it caused her expression to change drastically, and she hurriedly bowed toward the void.

"Junior of the Qin Family, Qin Ruoyu, greets the Eighteenth Ancestor!"

After the bow, the void did not ripple at all.

Qin Ruoyu breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed this Senior had no intention of attacking her.

She looked at her niece, whose sense of justice was overflowing, and gave her a helpless look.

"Little Mengli, you are on your own."

Before the words faded, her figure blurred and quietly retreated back into the void, vanishing without a trace.

In place, Qin Mengli, whose heart was still being gripped, saw this sudden reversal and instantly understood that the other party's Dao Protector was far more terrifying than her own Saint King.

The last shred of hope in her heart was completely extinguished.

But even in this state, she remained stubborn.

"Hmph! lecherous thief, even if you kill me, I won't move aside!"

"You want to interrupt their Opportunity and tame them into your slaves? Only if you step over my corpse!"

Looking at the little girl who refused to surrender, Xu Jinhuan was somewhat speechless.

The Qin Family actually has such a bizarrely naive girl; is she not afraid that a moment of hot-headedness could lead the entire Family to a dead end?

However, the fact that Qin Mengli would rather die than submit actually made Xu Jinhuan hold her in higher regard, and the killing intent in his heart softened.

"Miss Qin, it seems you have some misunderstandings about me."

He explained calmly.

"I am not trying to interrupt their comprehension, but to help them."

Qin Mengli did not believe him at all.

"Hmph! Nonsense, you're just spouting lies!"

"I have been observing you from the beginning to the end; you haven't even looked at the stone carvings more than a few times, so how could you possibly help them comprehend it?"

Xu Jinhuan smiled slightly.

"No, no, no. I am not as stupid as you all. For me, comprehending this stone carving only takes one glance."

While speaking, his Divine Soul power condensed into an Azure Lotus on the palm of his other hand.

Elegant and dignified, holy and flawless, surrounded by countless runes.

Every rune made Qin Mengli feel incredibly familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere before.

Suddenly, she looked at the stone carving in the distance with disbelief.

They were clearly identical!

"This... is this the Cultivation Technique from the stone carving?!"

Qin Mengli's pupils constricted; she felt as if struck by lightning and froze in place instantly.

She could clearly perceive that the Dao rhythm on this Azure Lotus not only completely replicated the core of the stone carving but also possessed a sharp aura she had never comprehended before.

The other party had already fully grasped the Great Emperor's Legacy and even sublimated it!

Noticing this, Qin Mengli felt instantly embarrassed, her face burning.

The other party had comprehended it more completely than she had.

Yet she had been full of confidence, questioning him with her half-baked level of understanding.

Too embarrassing...

She felt like she wanted to find a hole to crawl into...

Before she could recover, Xu Jinhuan gently lifted her chin and pushed the Azure Lotus into her body.

Qin Mengli turned pale instantly, scanning her body with her Divine Sense, trying to find the location of the Azure Lotus, but found nothing.

"Bastard, what did you do to me?!"

Finding nothing, she gritted her teeth and glared at Xu Jinhuan.

To this, Xu Jinhuan smiled slightly.

"Nothing much, just a small trick to ensure you cannot disobey my orders."

After speaking, he snapped his fingers lightly.

Snap!

Immediately, a violent pain erupted in Qin Mengli's chest; her entire heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand, and with just a slight force, it would explode completely.

The shadow of death instantly enveloped her; every moment felt like walking on the edge of the gates of hell!

Seeing Qin Mengli rolling on the ground in agony, Xu Jinhuan was satisfied and paused it, saying teasingly.

"Little girl, if you do something wrong, you must pay the price. Since you insisted on blocking me and called me a lecherous thief, from now on, you will be my maid."

"Don't worry, I will let you know what a real lecherous thief is."

With these words, Qin Mengli's mind was in turmoil; she felt an extreme sense of humiliation sweeping over her entire body, and her eyes instantly turned red.

I, the dignified Goddess of the Qin Family, am actually going to be reduced to someone else's slave, serving this lecher by pouring tea and water, helping him undress, and then eventually being at the mercy of this lecherous thief...

Too shameful!

"Bastard, don't you dare!"

She bit her lip hard, shedding tears of humiliation, and looked up at the sky, trying to find her elders for help.

However, the two elders above in the void were not as tense as those below.

The Eighteenth Ancestor watched Xu Jinhuan's actions and laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, a Goddess as a maid—this kid really knows how to play. He is worthy of being the number zero sequence of my Taiyi Holy Land; he didn't lose face!"

Beside him, Qin Ruoyu also had an auntie-like smile, as if watching some romantic comedy:

"Senior Eighteenth Ancestor, it seems the relationship between the Taiyi Holy Land and my Qin Family will likely become increasingly close in the future."

The Eighteenth Ancestor stroked his beard, deeply agreeing.

"Hehe, indeed."

On the ground, after scaring Qin Mengli and using Chaos Power to plant a Restriction on her heart, Xu Jinhuan tossed her to the side.

He turned and walked toward the four—Fang Qingyao and the others—who were still comprehending, waking them from their meditative state.

"Young Master?"

Interrupted in their comprehension, Liu Changxi, Fang Qingyao, and Su Zihan had no complaints.

The experience in the Demon Saint's tomb last time made them completely trust Xu Jinhuan and obey him unconditionally.

Only Yin Xinsu looked visibly displeased.

But Xu Jinhuan seemed completely unaware, sitting cross-legged with a calm voice that carried its own Dao rhythm.

"I see that your comprehensions have more or less gone astray, so I will now explain the true Cultivation Technique on the stone carving."

"This Cultivation Technique is named the 'Azure Lotus Dao Severing Art', and it is..."

Opening his mouth, true words flowed out. Xu Jinhuan recounted the core Profound Truths of the 'Azure Lotus Dao Severing Art', the operation of the Divine Soul secret techniques, and even the sublimation methods he had derived himself. Every word was a gem, and the Dao rhythm permeated the air.

Around them, countless runes appeared out of thin air and condensed into a galaxy, with an Azure Divine Lotus blooming magnificently.

The Great Dao suspended like a galaxy, and the Void Realm bloomed with an Azure Lotus!

Fang Qingyao and the others listened, intoxicated, feeling the fog before their eyes dissipate and the path of the Great Dao suddenly open up.

Not far away, Qin Mengli, who had been full of humiliation, had somehow found a corner to sit cross-legged, perking up her ears and listening intently.

The more she listened, the more shocked and stunned she became.

The Cultivation Technique Xu Jinhuan was explaining was not only a hundred times more complete than the version she had comprehended, but it also incorporated many miraculous changes.

Every sentence pointed directly to the Origin of the Great Dao, resolving all her past confusion, and her Divine Soul was rapidly strengthening under the nourishment of the Dao rhythm!

Fang Qingyao and the others quickly fell into a second state of comprehension, their bodies suffused with green light, emitting an aura similar to the stone carving.

Only Qin Mengli looked at Xu Jinhuan in shock, unable to understand when he had managed to fully grasp the contents of the stone carving.

How long has he even been here?

It's impossible that he read it once and interpreted the entire content of the stone carving, right?

Then just how high must his Comprehension Ability be?

Seeing her dazed expression, Xu Jinhuan was not very pleased.

"I have explained it so clearly, yet you still haven't figured out the last question to comprehend the complete 'Azure Lotus Dao Severing Art'. You, this Goddess of the Qin Family, are truly unworthy of the name."

He mocked her mercilessly.

"Something that takes one glance to learn, yet you couldn't understand it even after looking for seven days. You really have a pig's brain!"

Takes one glance, pig's brain...

These words instantly turned Qin Mengli's pretty face red with anger.

She wished she could tear the man in front of her into a thousand pieces.

Unfortunately, she couldn't; she was simply no match for him.

"Forget it, to each their own; being stupid is just being stupid. Anyway, you are just a maid."

Xu Jinhuan shook his head, summoned a rocking chair, lay down, and pointed to his legs.

"Maid, why haven't you come over to massage this Young Master's legs yet?"

"You!"

Qin Mengli stood up abruptly, trembling with rage, her beautiful eyes filled with anger and humiliation.

This guy really treated her as a maid!

"I, the dignified Goddess of the Qin Family, how could I possibly massage your legs? You're dreaming!"

"Hmm?"

Being refused, Xu Jinhuan was very displeased and snapped his fingers lightly.

Snap!

The familiar pain struck again, and the shadow of death followed like a specter.

Qin Mengli's face turned pale instantly, her aura weakened to the extreme, and death seemed to be beckoning right before her eyes.

"I'll massage!"

Helplessly, she endured the intense pain in her chest, walked step by step to Xu Jinhuan, knelt down in humiliation, and began to massage, gritting her teeth.

I am the Goddess of the Qin Family, always living in luxury. Let alone massaging legs, I haven't even cooked a meal since I was a child. Where have I ever suffered such grievances?

I'll strangle you, you bastard!

When my strength improves in the future, I will definitely repay today's humiliation a hundredfold!

However, even though she used all her strength, she only earned one sentence from Xu Jinhuan.

"Use some strength, haven't you eaten? A dignified Goddess of the Qin Family who can't even get enough to eat—how pitiful."
