Seven Star Island: Each with Their Own Plans

"Madam, there is no need to be angry. I already said that the reason I made such a request was only to protect myself." Lin Xuan swallowed, then spoke with some trembling caution.

Then, without waiting for Madam Black Python to fly into a rage, Lin Xuan hurriedly continued.

"The Spirit Restricting Technique is indeed vicious and evil, but Madam is a cultivator of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if I obtained one soul and one spirit of yours, I would absolutely not dare use it to threaten you. I merely wish to ask for a protective talisman."

"A protective talisman?" Although Madam Black Python's face was still full of anger, her tone finally eased slightly.

"Precisely." Lin Xuan nodded. His face was filled with panic, but he still gritted his teeth and went on. "If this restriction were planted, then although Madam could still annihilate Lin, you would surely have to pay no small price for it. That way, after weighing the gains and losses, Madam certainly would not do something like tearing down the bridge after crossing the river. And with a guarantee, this junior would no longer have to live in constant fear, and could wholeheartedly cooperate with Madam..."

"Heh heh, what you say does have some reason to it, but your nerve is far too great. A mere Core Condensation Realm cultivator actually dares threaten me. On what basis should this madam let you order me about? Now that you have arrived in Li Python Valley, whether you cooperate or not—do you think that is still up to you?" A trace of ridicule appeared at the corner of Madam Black Python's mouth as she spoke viciously.

"Madam is correct. With your Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, killing Lin would indeed be as easy as lifting your hand.
