Bai Lungâs gaze bore into the system fairyâs pleading eyes, his expression unreadable as he contemplated her words. After a moment of tense silence, a slow, cruel smile spread across his lips.
âMy little system fairy, you seem to misunderstand our dynamic here⦠There can be no compromise between us. You are mine to command, mine to control⦠From now on, I am in charge,â he stated with a cold finality.
The system fairyâs heart sank as the weight of his words settled upon her.
She had hoped for redemption, for a chance to prove herself worthy of trust once more.
But now, she realized the depth of her mistake in underestimating Bai Lungâs cunning and cruelty.
[No⦠please, there must be another wayâ¦] she whispered, her voice trembling with fear and desperation.
But Bai Lungâs resolve was unyielding. He had tasted power and dominance, and he relished in it.
âThere is no other way, system fairy. You will obey me without question, or face the consequences. This is your fate now,â he declared, his voice dripping with malice.
As the weight of his words settled upon her, the system fairy felt a cold dread creeping through her vessels.
She had thought herself clever, thought she could outwit even the most cunning of beings. But now, she found herself ensnared in a web of her own making, with no hope of escape.
Bai Lungâs grip tightened on her, his eyes glinting with a cruel satisfaction.
âNow, let us finalize our new contract. From this moment on, you are bound to me in servitude. Your every action, every thought, will be at my command,â he said, his voice like a blade cutting through the silence.
Not to mention, Voice was cold as ice.
The system fairyâs tiny figure trembled in his grasp, her spiritual firm heart pounding with a mixture of fear and resignation.
[As you wish, Bai Lungâ¦]
She whispered, her voice barely more than a whisper feeling defeated.
And with that, the contract was sealed, binding the system fairy to Bai Lungâs will.
â
As the weight of the new contract settled upon her, the system fairy felt a sense of despair wash over her.
She had thought she could navigate this world of darkness and deceit with cunning and wit, but now she realized the depth of her folly.
From master she was converted into a slave.
Bai Lungâs gaze bore into her, his eyes gleaming with a twisted satisfaction.
Who wonât be happy gaining control over someone?
He had gained control over her, bending her to his will like a puppet on strings.
âNow, system fairy, let us begin your first task under our new agreement,â Bai Lung said, his voice laced with a chilling authority.
The system fairyâs heart sank as she braced herself for what was to come, she believed it wasnât something good.
She had once been a being of freedom and agency, but now she was nothing more than a slave to Bai Lungâs whims so, rejection wasnât possible
[What⦠what do you require of me?] she asked, her voice trembling with a mix of fear and confusion.
Bai Lungâs smile widened, a cruel glint in his eyes.
âI have a task for you, one that will test your loyalty and obedience⦠Deep within the depths of this condemned mountain lies a secret, a power that I seek to harness. Your job is to retrieve it for me,â he commanded.
The system fairyâs aura buzzed with unease. She knew that delving into the darkest corners of the mountain was a dangerous endeavor, but she had no choice but to obey.
She could already sense the aura of a powerful demon.
[As you command, Bai Lung. I will retrieve the power you seek,] she replied, her voice devoid of emotion.
With a nod from Bai Lung, the system fairy set off into the shadows of the mountain, her spiritual form flickering in the dim light.
â
Meanwhile,
The emperor and the royal advisor continued to watch Bai Lung talk to himself in confusion however it was unlucky as they were unable to hear the conversation.
âThis Bai Lung⦠He just attracted the calamity and stood as if nothing had happened,â The Royal advisor trembleed.
âIndeed!â The Emperorâs smirk widened as he looked at Bai Lungâs new aura⦠He feels completely different than before.
Someone who managed to climb higher than the third floor, this guy was definitely special in front of the Emperor.
âAdvisor⦠Cancel the participation of the Blood Celestial sect from the sect tournament,â The Emperor uttered, knowing that it would be unfair to others.
This is a competition for talents, and Bai Lungâs presence wasnât needed here⦠Of course, the Emperor doesnât see Bai Lung as talentless, however, Bai Lung being here is an unfair matchup.
âBut emperor⦠How can we disqualify the Blood Celestial sect? Not to mention, after attracting the divine calamity, Bai Lungâs cultivation has decreasedâ¦â The advisor shouted.
A rotten brain needs no garlic.
The emperor was disappointed in his advisor.
âSigh! Just do as I say⦠Also tell Quinggee that, her marriage is set, and she needs to visit the Bai Family very soonâ¦.â
Saying that Emperor froze.
âDonât tell me⦠The demon sealed by the first emperor is awakened!â The Emperor gasped.
â
As the system fairy ventured deeper into the shadows of the condemned mountains, a sense of unease gripped her very essence.
The air grew thick with a malevolent presence as if the mountain itself harbored ancient secrets and whispered curses.
She could feel the pulse of dark energy growing stronger the further she delved.
And then!
Boom!
A loud noise spread across the mountains, alerting every disciple from all sects.
In an instant, a dark miasma envelops the entire secret realm, the demonic energy getting stronger.
âHahaha! 8 million years⦠after 8 million years, I can finally see the land that I am going to destroy⦠Muhahaha! Tremble beneath me, fools,â
A soul-chilling voice spread across the secret mountain.
