Guan's Signature Move

While pleased, he didn't believe a few simple promises could completely subdue someone. The necessary methods were still needed, and he had to ask the white fox about this. As the thought moved, the scene of every blade of grass and every tree within the entire golden bead space appeared in his mind.

With his cultivation reaching Level Ten Qi Refining, the territory within the golden bead had expanded dozens of times. What surprised Yue Qianchou was that streams and lakes had begun to appear in the territory. For this, he had even brought in many different kinds of fish to raise. He had also brought in many flying beasts, animals, flowers, and plants.

The bamboo pavilion was empty. Sister Bai must have gone off to tend to her flowers and plants again! Things were slowly changing, and that was a good thing! Yue Qianchou's lips curved slightly into a smile. His thoughts shifted, and on a patch of flowerbed, the white-robed white fox was squatting among the flowers, pulling out weeds.

Guan Yu, holding a pile of high-grade Spirit Stones, clicked his tongue in amazement and asked, "I haven't had the chance to ask your name yet?"

"Yue Qianchou. You can call me Boss from now on," Yue Qianchou replied, then said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll be right back." With that, his figure vanished. Guan Yu let out a noncommittal cold laugh, "Yue Qianchou, Boss..."

"Beauty, still pulling weeds?" Yue Qianchou suddenly appeared beside the white fox in the flowerbed. She seemed unfazed by this, not even lifting her head, still busy with her own work. She only frowned and asked, "Why did you bring someone in again?"

"Sister, please don't mind. It's just that the territory is getting bigger and bigger, so I specifically found someone to help with afforestation," Yue Qianchou answered casually. The white fox didn't say anything further. He squatted beside her and chuckled, "Sister, I wanted to ask you something. I want to control someone, to make him loyal to me. Do you have any methods?"

The white fox stopped her work and frowned, "Who do you want to control?"

"Ai! This guy I just brought in. We were just fighting for our lives outside, and I almost died by his hand. So! I brought him in here. He admitted defeat because he couldn't beat me, but who knows if he's sincere or just pretending," Yue Qianchou worried.

Hearing that his brother was almost beaten to death, the white fox's expression changed. She raised her pretty face and looked over. The bloodstains on Yue Qianchou's lips were clearly visible, and his clothes were torn. It was evident that he had indeed fought someone and was injured. She immediately let out a cold snort, and her figure vanished.

Yue Qianchou was stunned. Suddenly, a scream echoed from a distance. As he was still in shock, the white fox's figure suddenly appeared, holding a low-grade Spirit Stone in her hand, she said coldly, "I have now imprisoned his natal soul here, so you can command him with peace of mind. If he dares to have any second thoughts, I will make his life worse than death."

With that, a ball of scorching flame emerged from her hand and enveloped the Spirit Stone. A wail immediately echoed from a distance. The scorching flame disappeared, and the wail also stopped. The white fox put the Spirit Stone into the small sachet at her waist.

My goodness! So powerful! Fortunately, I didn't do anything excessive to Sister Bai, or I'd get the same treatment. That would be trouble. Yue Qianchou broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and chuckled, "Sister, you truly have marvelous skills. I wonder if you could teach me."

"If your cultivation is not at the Nascent Soul stage, you cannot forcibly extract someone's natal soul. Moreover, the cultivator performing the spell must have a higher cultivation than the one being acted upon, unless someone is willing to voluntarily offer their natal soul," the white fox said, then squatted down to continue her work.

"Heh heh! I'll go see how he's doing." Seeing that she was ignoring him, Yue Qianchou glanced at the white-robed figure squatting there, her shapely buttocks slightly swaying due to her work. His heart skipped a beat, and he thought, What a sexy butt. His figure vanished.

Guan Yu's ruddy face had turned deathly pale. He slumped to the ground, his dazed eyes seeing Yue Qianchou's appearance. He scrambled over and clutched his thigh, trembling, "There was a woman... there was a woman here who forcibly extracted my natal soul. Yue Qianchou, no! Boss! Do you know her? Please beg her to return my soul."

Guan Yu was truly terrified. When the white-robed woman first appeared, he had marveled at her beauty. Who knew that the sudden burst of aura she emitted had rendered him unable to move? With one hand on his head, she had effortlessly extracted his natal soul. The pain was simply unbearable. He knew very well that his natal soul was being controlled by someone, meaning his life and fortune were in another person's hands. If that person became unhappy, he wouldn't even be able to escape.

"Ah!" Yue Qianchou exclaimed, "Your natal soul was also extracted?"

Guan Yu's trembling body paused. He slowly raised his head and exclaimed in shock, "Don't tell me your soul was also taken by her..."

"Ai! Who said it wasn't!" Yue Qianchou shook his head mournfully and helped Guan Yu up. "But you don't need to worry. She's my sister. Since you're my person now, and your soul is under her control, I guarantee you won't be in any danger."

"What? She's your sister!" Guan Yu exclaimed, pushing him away. "She's your sister, so of course, you don't have to worry. Uh... it must be you and your sister plotting against me! I'll kill you!"

As Guan Yu took a step forward, his facial muscles contorted, and with a bang, he fell to the ground, emitting a mournful cry from his throat. He rolled around on the ground, his expression incredibly pained. Even Yue Qianchou felt a bit unable to watch.

The white fox's voice drifted through the air, "If you dare to harbor any ill intentions towards my brother again, I will make your life worse than death."

"I don't dare anymore!" Guan Yu managed to squeeze out with all his might, then his body relaxed, and he slumped to the ground again.

This is indeed a good way to control people! But I can't dampen his enthusiasm for working for me in the future! Yue Qianchou stared at him, confirming he was alright, and sighed, "Yun Chang! You're too impulsive. Do you remember that Level Ten Qi Refining cultivator who called me Boss? He was the same as you. My sister also extracted his natal soul, but he knew how to behave! He knew my sister liked tending to flowers and plants. Look at the flowers and trees here; he planted them all. And guess what? My sister was so pleased that she returned his soul to him, and now he's living well. Yun Chang! That's worth learning from!"

Guan Yu, with his dead-fish eyes, blinked. A flicker of spirit returned to them, and his Adam's apple bobbed. "You're not lying to me?" He struggled to get up.

Yue Qianchou gave him a sideways glance and snorted, "Do I look like someone who would lie casually?"

Guan Yu's gaze fell upon the grove of trees. He noticed that the trees were indeed not native and clearly showed signs of transplanting. He nodded thoughtfully.

"Do you know why I gave you the name Guan Yu?" Yue Qianchou asked. Seeing him shake his head, he asked again, "Do you know if there are other empires outside the Huaxia Empire?" The latter nodded, indicating he knew.

He asked again, "Have you been there?" The latter still shook his head.

Yue Qianchou breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "Let me tell you a story! In the distant East, there was an empire that, due to a corrupt regime, saw a scene of warlords vying for power. At that time, there were three common heroes named Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei... The three took an oath in the Peach Garden... Guan Yu slew Yan Liang and Zhu Wen Chou... Guan Yu was in Cao Cao's Camp but loyal to Liu Bei... Guan Yu protected his sister-in-law across a thousand li, passed five passes and slew six generals... Guan Yu took Huang Zhong with the sweeping saber... Guan Yu attended the meeting with a single saber... Guan Yu at Maicheng... uh... I won't go on. In short, Guan Yu eventually became a hero known to every household in that empire, revered for his loyalty and righteousness, and was called Second Master Guan." After speaking, he thought to himself, What a close call, almost mentioning how Guan Yu was beheaded.

Seeing Yue Qianchou speak so vividly, Guan Yu's chest heaved. He suddenly stood up and stared at Yue Qianchou, startling him. He slowly said, "You're not lying to me? Is there truly such a heroic figure?"

"What? Do I look like someone who would lie casually? I swear to heaven, if the story of Guan Yu is something I made up, may I be struck by lightning and die a terrible death." Yue Qianchou patted his chest and swore, thinking to himself, I don't know if the story of Guan Yu is true or false, but it's definitely not something I made up.

"Since there is truly such a heroic figure, it's not wrong for me to take his name. It does him justice. From now on, I shall be called Guan Yu, Guan Yun Chang!" With that, he stroked his long beard and struck a signature pose of the Guan clan that Yue Qianchou had described, looking quite similar.
