601: If you can't beat them, just serve them

Yu Qingcheng’s eyebrows shot up, and she sharply cried out, “Little thief, today I’ll let you know this old woman’s methods!” With that, a dazzling brilliance instantly burst forth from her body, like a scorching sun breaking through the clouds, stinging one’s eyes.

Within that light, water droplets, like nimble hidden weapons, shimmered with cold light, rapidly swirling around her, weaving a watertight protective shield.

At the same time, an invisible yet soul-stirring alluring power, like wisps of light smoke, slowly diffused, and the surrounding space seemed to be wantonly twisted by an invisible large hand, becoming ethereal and hazy.

Chen Xuan’s heart tightened, but a calm smile still hung on his face, and he said loudly, “Since Senior is interested, Junior will risk his life to accompany a gentleman!”

He lightly tapped his feet, employing “Ghost Shadow Steps,” and his figure drifted back several feet like a ghost.

Concurrently, his hands rapidly formed seals like dancing butterflies, and the Spiritual Qi around him surged, instantly condensing a thick, earthy-yellow protective shield, upon which runes flickered, exuding an ancient and powerful aura, as if announcing to the world that this shield was indestructible.

“Hmph, you think this crappy shield can stop this old woman?” Yu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent, and she snorted coldly, casually waving her jade hand, and a sharp Sword Qi, formed by the fusion of light and water, shot towards Chen Xuan like a meteor chasing the moon.

Where the Sword Qi passed, the space was actually torn open, creating a long, narrow gash, emitting a piercing shriek, like the cry of a night owl.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan secretly sighed, not daring to directly confront this fierce attack, and lightly tapped his toes, dodging sideways with his fastest speed. The Sword Qi brushed past the corner of his clothes, and the sharp Qi instantly ripped his hem, leaving a long tear.

“Senior Yu Qingcheng’s Immortal Emperor cultivation is truly well-deserved. If it weren’t for my quick dodge, I might have already been cut down by you!”

“Hmph, this old woman was still holding back, using the sword Dao she’s least proficient with. If you know what’s good for you, come over and kneel down to admit your mistake right now!”

“Hahaha, since Senior has made her move, Junior can’t hide his clumsiness either. Try my ‘Star Shattering Divine Fist’!”

Chen Xuan roared, planting his feet firmly on the ground, and the earth-elemental Spiritual Qi surged and gathered on his fist. The punch whizzed, as if carrying immense power, and slammed towards Yu Qingcheng.

Where the punch landed, the surrounding space cracked, and dust flew, like a Dragon turning over.

Yu Qingcheng, however, was unhurried, a charming faint smile playing on her lips, and she moved her lotus steps lightly, graceful and charming.

“Ding, Yu Qingcheng’s favorability +10!”

She lightly raised her jade hand, and a brilliant ball of light condensed at her fingertips. With a sharp cry, the light ball shot towards Chen Xuan’s punch like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

The two collided with a thunderous roar in mid-air, and the powerful energy impact, like a surging tsunami, spread wildly in all directions. The surrounding ground was instantly plowed into bottomless gullies, and sand and stones flew, obscuring the sky.

“Good boy, you really have some skill!” Yu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes sparkled with brilliance, and the admiration in her eyes grew even stronger: “However, this is far from enough! If I don’t make you kneel and beg for mercy today, this old woman will never give up!”

With that, she quickly moved her hands, and the Law of light and water wildly intertwined and surged in her hands, converging into a huge energy vortex. Within the vortex, countless rays of light and water streams, like fatal hidden weapons, swept towards Chen Xuan overwhelmingly, like a violent storm, unavoidable.

Although Chen Xuan used all his might, Yu Qingcheng’s cultivation was too much higher than his. The overwhelming Law of light and water completely crushed his defenses like a thousand armies.

The next moment, Chen Xuan only felt his blood and Qi churning, and his throat sweetened. He “wa” spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, and his entire body flew straight backward, heavily slamming into a mountain rock, sending brokenstone flying.

Yu Qingcheng’s figure was light and graceful, and she instantly floated in front of Chen Xuan, holding her long sword horizontally, the tip of the sword resting against Chen Xuan’s throat, and sneered, “You’re Chen Xuan, right? Do you still submit to this grandma’s methods now?”

Seeing this, Chen Xuan sighed deeply, cupped his fists, and said, “Senior’s divine power is unmatched, Junior admits defeat. I only ask Senior to spare my life. I am willing to return to your side, serving diligently.”

Yu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows, a hint of mischief flashing in her eyes: “Serve me? That’s acceptable, but the conditions are rather harsh. From now on, every day, you must personally comb my hair, every strand must be smooth and neat. If there’s a single strand out of place, you will be held accountable.”

With that, she slowly raised her hand and untied the silk sash from her waist, “Also, you will be responsible for changing my clothes. You must personally dress me, and no one else is allowed to assist. Every morning, you must bathe and change my clothes, and you must personally wipe every inch of my skin, without the slightest negligence.”

As she spoke, she gently raised her jade foot and used her toes to lift Chen Xuan’s chin, “And one last thing, at night, I want you to sleep beneath my bed. If I have any needs, you must be available at my beck and call.”

Chen Xuan: “…!!!”

‘No, you’re eating too well, aren’t you? You, the female lead, if Yu Guili wasn’t more important, I really would have… Damn it!’

Chen Xuan felt a rush of blood to his head, his face alternating between red and white, and a sense of “humiliation” welled up in his heart.

But with “life and death” hanging by a thread, he could only grit his teeth and say in a muffled voice, “Okay, I agree.”

Seeing this, Yu Qingcheng put away her long sword with satisfaction and giggled, “Consider yourself sensible. If there’s any mistake, don’t blame me for being merciless with my sword!” With that, she turned and gracefully walked away. Watching Yu Qingcheng’s swaying waist and hips, Chen Xuan slumped to the ground, his heart filled with () and ().

The next morning, Chen Xuan followed Yu Qingcheng to the Immortal Pool.

Within the Immortal Pool, mist swirled, and colorful auspicious light danced and flickered on the water’s surface, like a dreamland.

Yu Qingcheng moved her lotus steps lightly, slowly taking off her clothes. Her skin, like mutton-fat jade, was faintly visible in the mist, causing Chen Xuan’s heart to () for a moment, and he quickly lowered his head.

“What? Don’t dare to look?” Yu Qingcheng’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

“Ding, Yu Qingcheng’s favorability +2!”

“Where did all your usual courage go?” She slowly stepped into the Immortal Pool, and the clear water in the pool rippled slightly, creating layers of ripples.

Chen Xuan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm his mind, reached for a cloth towel nearby, and also stepped into the pool.

When his fingertips touched Yu Qingcheng’s skin, he felt a tingling sensation from his fingertips. He quickly steadied his mind and began to gently wipe.

“Hmph, with your technique, you still dare to say you’ll serve me diligently?” Yu Qingcheng deliberately made things difficult, her words filled with contempt:

“If your movements are still so clumsy, just wait until I properly deal with you!” Chen Xuan bit his lower lip tightly, silently enduring her humiliation, but his movements became even gentler and more meticulous.

As he wiped, Yu Qingcheng’s cheeks gradually flushed with a faint blush, and her eyes also became somewhat () alluring.

“Ding, Yu Qingcheng’s favorability +10!”

Although she continued to relentlessly humiliate Chen Xuan verbally, her body obediently allowed him to act, without the slightest resistance.

“Look at your timid appearance, you’re really not like a man!” Yu Qingcheng lightly spat, but her voice unconsciously softened a bit.

Chen Xuan did not respond, only focusing on the movements in his hands. Fine beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, unclear whether it was due to nervousness or the heat of the Immortal Pool.

Or something else.
