522: Stockholm

“I… boo hoo hoo, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault, I really shouldn’t have offended you like this. Please be magnanimous and don’t stoop to my level!

As long as you can show mercy and let me off, I will be eternally grateful and obey your every command from now on, never daring to show the slightest disrespect again!”

Under Chen Xuan’s intimidation, the naive Leng Ruoyun cried until her face was a mess, her delicate body trembling, filled with regret and fear.

At the same time, she hated her own weakness. Even though her cultivation was higher than Chen Xuan’s at this moment, for some reason, she just couldn’t retaliate against this man!

“Oh? Obey my every command? Is that something the daughter of an Immortal King should say?”

“I…” A hint of pain flashed across Leng Ruoyun’s face.

“You, just kill me! I cannot disgrace my father’s name, but… please, when you kill me, make it quick! Boo hoo hoo!”

Leng Ruoyun was extremely sad at this moment, constantly wiping her tears on Chen Xuan’s clothes, making Chen Xuan feel a sense of powerlessness to complain.

“Hey, hey, don’t get my clothes dirty!”

Chen Xuan looked at his clothes, which were tear-stained from Leng Ruoyun wiping them, and became even more speechless.

These clothes were given to him by Han Wanqing. If she saw this scene, he didn’t know how many times she would pinch him.

“Forget it, seeing as you’re crying so sadly, I’ll be merciful and spare your life.” Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly.

Leng Ruoyun was stunned upon hearing this. She looked up in disbelief at Chen Xuan, her eyes filled with incredulity.

“You, are you serious? You’re really not going to kill me?”

“Otherwise?”

Chen Xuan shrugged, looking indifferent.

“But let me warn you, sparing your life doesn’t mean I’ll let everyone else here off. You can escape death, but you can’t escape punishment.”

“Thank you, Chen Xuan, I… I will definitely remember your kindness! Thinking about it now, it was indeed our fault. You Ascended peacefully, and we, without distinguishing right from wrong, just… ” Leng Ruoyun looked at Chen Xuan, and actually felt that she had been too much.

“Kindness or whatever, that’s another matter. Now… let’s discuss what punishment you should receive.” Chen Xuan quickly interrupted Leng Ruoyun.

The more he listened, the more something felt off. How did this woman inexplicably start sympathizing with him? Was it going to evolve into Stockholm Syndrome next?

“You, you say it! I’ll obey your every command! But let’s be clear first, if, if your punishment will make my father lose face, then you’d better kill me!”

“Speak properly! I won’t make your father lose face, and you don’t need to obey my every command. I just need you to… work for me from now on!”

“Work for you? Okay! As long as it’s not something that makes my father lose face… I’m willing to serve you! Anything!” Leng Ruoyun said, blushing.

For some reason, the more she looked at Chen Xuan now, the more pleasing he became to her eyes, and the more she felt that her previous mistakes were too outrageous…

“Alright then, I’ll give you another chance. If you dare to betray me in the future, I will definitely make you regret today’s choice.”

Chen Xuan looked at Leng Ruoyun, who was staring at him with strange eyes, quickly released her neck, stepped back to create distance, and took out a Jade Slip, handing it to Leng Ruoyun.

“What is this?” Leng Ruoyun asked curiously.

“This is a contract. You just need to drop a drop of blood on it and swear allegiance to me from now on, and I will let you go.” Chen Xuan said indifferently.

“This…” Leng Ruoyun hesitated for a moment. After looking at the content, she took the Jade Slip, bit her fingertip, and dropped a drop of blood on it.

But the next moment, something unexpected happened.

The Jade Slip, which had absorbed Leng Ruoyun’s blood, actually shattered directly! It startled Leng Ruoyun.

“This, this is… a low-level contract, it cannot withstand the blood of my Profound Immortal Peak!” Leng Ruoyun said after realizing what happened.

Chen Xuan: “…”

“Alright then, between us, a verbal agreement will suffice. Alright, you can go now.” Chen Xuan said, throwing a Storage Pouch to Leng Ruoyun, then waved his hand.

“Ah? Really?! Then wouldn’t you be at a great loss?”

“What, do you mean you insist that I empty you out again and again?” Chen Xuan’s face hardened.

“Ah? No, no need, goodbye, Brother Chen Xuan!” Leng Ruoyun bowed gratefully to Chen Xuan, then quickly used her escape technique and disappeared into the horizon.

Watching Leng Ruoyun’s retreating figure, a meaningful smile appeared on Chen Xuan’s lips.

He naturally had his own plans for letting Leng Ruoyun go so casually.

Because he had already made up his mind to forcibly eliminate the two Children of Luck here, and with Scarlet Flame Matriarch, a Golden Immortal Peak expert, and Mu Qingfeng still lingering nearby, at this moment, only by reactivating the experience card could all of this be accomplished in a short time.

Since he had already decided to use this experience card, he absolutely could not waste it casually. He had to make it exert its maximum value!

At the very least, he had to use this power to resolve all these troublesome problems in front of him. Only in this way would the 100,000 Heaven's Mandate Value not be a loss.

And, it was also a good opportunity to test that little girl who was suspected of having Stockholm Syndrome.

To see if she would really choose to help him, this “bandit.”

…

Soon, Chen Xuan returned to Li Jingyi’s hair to continue hiding.

After Scarlet Flame Matriarch searched for a long time and found nothing, she reunited with Leng Ruoyun.

“Do you have any news?”

“On my side… no, I just, I just found my Storage Pouch in this area!”

“Your Storage Pouch?! That’s great, that proves Chen Xuan must be nearby. Now, have everyone here gather, and I’ll keep an eye out. If there’s any movement, I’ll definitely notice it immediately!”

Yan Ni裳 said, then pulled Leng Ruoyun and began to act.

“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you moving?”

“No, I’ll have them all gather now!” Leng Ruoyun said, then transmitted her voice to the people working below.

Soon, everyone gathered one by one, staring blankly at the two women in the sky.

But Li Jingyi, who had just reunited with Chen Xuan, seemed a little flustered at this moment.

The proud girl hadn't even had time to secretly be happy yet, and then she encountered such a thing again.
