Liu Qing Yu shuddered at the conditions laid before herself. Despite the dread she felt inside, this woman also knew itâs too late to turn back now. After all, if she could promise to become someoneâs slave already, what does it matter if an extra poison was added to the equation?
Steeling her nerves, she pops the poison into her mouth with resolve. âIâve taken the poison now, does that mean I can leave?â
âYour subordinates are still in my place. Do you not intend to take them with you?â Bai Yan asks with a hint of melodramatic effect like sheâs shocked by the way Liu Qing Yu was abandoning her own people.
On the other hand, the now âslaveâ didnât care about the taunting ridicule. Compared with Bai Yanâs strength and intimidation, sheâs more afraid of that peerless and domineering demon king. But thinking back to Uncle Jun whoâs still risking his own life for herself, Liu Qing Yu atleast had some sense of humanity left in her. âFine, Iâll go back with you first.â
Unfortunately that attitude didnât sit well with Bai Yan in the least: âIs this the tone a servant should be using against their mistress?â
âIâ¦â The âslaveâ wanted to lash out from rage right there and then; however, upon thinking back to her own life she subsided. âMistress, I am wrong.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But instead of getting an affirmative answer in return, Bai Yan only stabs her bony quill down onto the earth. This shouldâve been an unimportant gesture, yet the impacting force alone actually shook the entire mountain range and causes Liu Qing Yu to stumble backwards in great fright.
How can this woman be so temperamental??Inhaling deeply, she bites the apple and yields: âMistress, I will never dare againâ¦â
Retracting her weapon, Bai Yan seems to be appeased atleast for now. âLiu Qing Yu, donât think you will be able to escape from my control one day. This poison is my own creation. Aside from me, no one knows how to develop the antidote. If you try anything or go against my orders, I believe I donât need to go into details on whatâs to come.â Due to the threatening tone in the voice, her words actually earned a shudder from the other side.
Truth was, this woman from the Spirit Realm was also a talented alchemist in her own right. Unfortunately, the poison was so amazing that she couldnât detect it in the slightest when ingesting the pill, indicating how formidable the recipe must be to be able to bypass her senses.
âMistress, I would never dare to have alternative thoughts.â
The very fact that she has survived to this day in the Spirit Realm without others managing to kill her showed Liu Qing Yu wasnât a brash person. Sure, the future may look grim for now, but that doesnât mean thereâs no hope stillâ¦.
âThen letâs go.â Leaving only that behind herself, Bai Yan swiftly transforms into a flash of light and shot towards the main estate again.
As hesitant and unwilling as this newfound âslaveâ was, Liu Qing Yu could only follow from behind after watching that gradually disappearing light. Her speed may not be as fast but it doesnât change the part sheâs now a lowly dog that must go where commanded.
â¦â¦
Inside the main estate, the guests are currently dead silent as they watched nervously at the lax looking man sitting atop of the huge chair thatâs normally reserved for the master of the house. Despite the dominating and arrogant air this individual portrayed, heâs extremely seductive in the eyes of the female body to the point where some are actively drooling inwardly, wishing so dearly they could go up and start up a conversation. Well, that was assuming if there wasnât already an old senior lying underneath the manâs feet like a defeated rag dollâ¦..
Uncle Jun at this moment was doing absolutely terrible. Thereâs a constant stream of blood coming out of his mouth and the only thing this poor grandpa could think of was whether or not the lady managed to return to the Spirit Realm or not.
Suddenly, a striking red-light charges through the doorway and catches their attention. When the defeated old senior saw who it was through the corner of his eye, he despaired.?If this woman is back then does that mean, the ladyâ¦..
âMother.â Bai Xiachen didnât wait and threw himself into those arms after recognizing who it was.
