"Damn, she really knows how to give me work." Lu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Yuehua had already been affected by his Whisper. All that remained was to wait for the Great Compassion Rhapsody to fall into her hands, then have her bring it back to Spirit Hall.

"If I remember correctly, Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul is the Ruyi Ring, a variant of the Clear Sky Hammer. It comes with the Innate Domain Noble Ring."

The Noble Ring's effect was unusual: it could calm the desires of targets within its range.

But limited by Tang Yuehua's Soul Power, both the range and strength of the domain were restricted.

If Tang Yuehua became a god, it might prove very useful.

Lu Jin did not think his efforts to create gods would be smooth sailing. Those fellows in the Divine Realm would discover his existence sooner or later, and a true war between gods would be hard to avoid when the time came.

"Forget it. I've already given her a hand. As long as Tang Yuehua is loyal enough, it's not as though I can't make her a god."

Lu Jin remembered that in the original story, Tang Yuehua loved her second brother, Tang Hao, and had even remained unmarried all her life because of him.

On the Douluo Continent, where everything was driven by romance, he had to be on guard against someone so love-struck, just as he was with Bibi Dong.

At the thought of Bibi Dong, Lu Jin's face twitched.

He had no idea what wire had come loose in that girl's head, but for the past few nights, she had actually been wearing a camisole and sleeping on the floor in his room.

If it were Pope Bibi Dong, Lu Jin might have been a little interested.

As for the young Bibi Dong, never mind that her figure had yet to mature; the way her mind worked was just like a complete simpleton's.

Sealing off the entire secret chamber of Spirit Hall alone was not something a normal person could have thought up.

"Ah, enough thinking about that girl." Lu Jin looked at the threads of fate and picked out the one belonging to Yu Xiaogang.

Before long, the fellow would go looking for Dugu Bo. Lu Jin wanted to conduct a little experiment.

Since Yu Xiaogang had come back to life after dying once, what would happen if he died again?

In any case, once Qian Daoliu had killed Yu Xiaogang, some things were already destined to stray from their original course. He might as well use Dongzi as a test subject.

Having Dugu Bo kill Yu Xiaogang was better than having Bo Saixi do it.

After all, Bo Saixi had only recently escaped from Sea God Island. Although she no longer had anything to do with the Sea God, he still had to watch out for the sneaky bastards in the Divine Realm.

After some thought, Lu Jin first linked Dugu Bo's daughter-in-law to Yu Xiaogang.

Wait, why am I giving Gangzi a perk?

Lu Jin put Dugu Bo's daughter-in-law's thread of fate back and linked Yu Xiaogang with Dugu Bo's pet dog.

"Mm, that's more like it!" Lu Jin nodded in satisfaction. "A single thread binds lovers across a thousand miles. No wonder the Old Man of the Moon grins all day long. If he didn't, he could be diagnosed with depression."

Meanwhile.

Inside the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Yuehua heard no further response from the whisper, and her eyes looked a little lost. "So, was I hearing things again just now?"

After the people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan left, Tang Wei said, "Yuehua, I know you feel wronged, but it's all for the sect. Besides, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan isn't bad either. You'll be living in comfort when you go there."

"Mm, Yuehua understands."

Tang Yuehua remained expressionless. After nodding, she returned to her room.

She sat before her dressing table, gazing at her haggard reflection and lamenting the unfairness of fate.

If she could choose, she would rather have been born into an ordinary family.

Tang Yuehua silently stood up and opened her wardrobe. As the daughter of the Clear Sky Sect Master, she had pitifully few clothes.

The Clear Sky Sect was already short of funds, and she was unwelcome besides, so she only received one or two new outfits each year.

Tang Yuehua had not come to look at her clothes, of course. She took a small box from the wardrobe.

It was something her mother had given her before she died, and it contained some jewelry.

Before her death, her mother had feared she would be treated unfairly and had made preparations long ago.

Tang Yuehua had never expected what her mother foresaw to actually happen.

She opened the box and rummaged through the things her mother had left behind. Suddenly, her expression stiffened slightly.

"Did Mother leave this ring?" Tang Yuehua took the ring out in puzzlement.

The ring was crystalline throughout and did not look like a product of the Douluo Continent.

At that moment, the whisper she had thought was a hallucination sounded again. "It seems you've obtained what I prepared for you. Do you want to escape the Clear Sky Sect?"

Light returned to Tang Yuehua's eyes. "You... do you really exist?"

"Yes, I've been here all along. I've seen everything you've gone through. Now I'll ask you again: do you want to change your fate of being unable to become a Soul Master?"

"Yes! Please help me. I'll do anything for you!"

"Even if you have to leave the Clear Sky Sect and might even become its enemy someday?"

"Enemies... perhaps they never intended to treat me as family from the start. I'm willing!"

"Very good. I'll guide you past all the guards and out of the Clear Sky Sect. I'll wait for you outside."

The whisper faded. No attachment to the Clear Sky Sect remained in Tang Yuehua's eyes, and an irrepressible urge grew stronger and stronger in her heart.

She wanted to meet the owner of that voice and devote her everything to serving him.

At the same time, a route that would take her past all the Clear Sky Sect's watchers appeared in her mind.

Without hesitation, Tang Yuehua picked up the box her mother had left her, put the ring on her finger, and left her room.

But just as she stepped outside, she remembered what Yu Xiaogang had said. She returned to her room and wrote down a line: "I, Tang Yuehua, will not marry Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing who does nothing but fart!"

After writing it, she finally felt the weight lift from her heart. She followed the route she had been shown and left the Clear Sky Sect.

Not long after leaving the sect, she saw a figure standing with his back to her on a small hill, waiting.

She did not need to ask. Feeling her heart beat faster and her body temperature steadily rise, she understood.

This was the lord who had helped her.

Tang Yuehua came up behind Lu Jin, staring straight at his back as though he were all that remained in the world. "Master, I'm here."

Master?

Lu Jin was slightly taken aback. Although Bo Saixi was the first person he had bewitched with Whisper, Tang Yuehua was the first he had actually met face-to-face.

"Why are you calling me Master?" Lu Jin turned around and looked at Tang Yuehua in confusion.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yuehua's cheeks suddenly flushed, and her red lips kept parting in faint little gasps as she murmured weakly, "Because Master is Master.

Lu Jin slapped his forehead. "I'm not taking on servants. There's no need for that."

He had thought Tang Yuehua would understand what he meant, but instead she said, "Yuehua wants to serve Master. Yuehua wants to be Master's little slave."

Lu Jin studied her carefully. Her thread of fate had not been disturbed, and she did not look as though her body had been possessed by anything.

Could it be because of Whisper?

Lu Jin recalled how Bo Saixi had acted when speaking to him. Though she had been far more restrained than Tang Yuehua, a closer comparison revealed more similarities.

Lu Jin's face twitched as he suddenly remembered that he had also used Whisper on Qian Daoliu.

Fuck me. Never mind the beauties, but Qian Daoliu had better not pull this same crap!

Lu Jin sighed. "Forget it. You can use that title in private. Just call me 'my lord' in public."

"Mm! Thank you for allowing it, Master!" A fervent light flashed in Tang Yuehua's eyes. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Lu Jin's arm. "Master, where are we going next?"

"Let go..." Lu Jin tugged at his arm.

Mm, very soft. She can keep holding on, then.

"We're going to Heaven Dou City. I'll take you to see a good show."

Lu Jin looked at the threads of fate. Yu Xiaogang had only just returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, yet he was about to turn right around and go to Heaven Dou City to find Dugu Bo.

He was also curious whether Dugu Bo would actually dare to kill Yu Xiaogang, and whether Yu Xiaogang, an important character, would come back to life again if he died.
