The Queen Mother of the West's phoenix eyes, which had previously held a hint of expectation, instantly turned cold upon hearing the words "obedient person."
An air of arrogance, belonging to an ancient deity, burst forth from her very bones.
In the Spiritual Sense transmission, her voice was no longer charming, but rather like the perpetual snow on the Kunlun Mountain, chilling to the bone.
" Alliance Leader Qin, you are far too arrogant."
"I am the Head of Female Immortals, personally appointed by the Dao Ancestor. I have ruled over West Kunlun for countless eons and am worshipped by all immortals."
Even when I was listening to the Dao at the Purple Heavens Palace, the Three Pure Ones addressed me as a fellow Daoist.
"Do you now expect my West Kunlun to bow down and submit to you? Do you expect me to obey your every command?"
The Queen Mother of the West's wine cup creaked as she gripped it; had it not been for maintaining the decorum of the Jade Pond Grand Gathering, she would have already slammed her hand on the table and stood up.
"Alliance is based on equality and mutual benefit."
"You provide the manpower, I provide the capital; let's discuss the grand plan together and jointly govern the Qiankun."
"If Alliance Leader Qin only wants a maid to serve tea and water, then you've probably picked the wrong person."
She is proud.
This pride stems not only from her beauty, but also from her peak Quasi-Saint strength and the unfathomable depths of West Kunlun.
Let her be a concubine?
Absolutely impossible.
Faced with the Queen Mother of the West's somewhat angry rebuttal, Qin Feng's expression remained unchanged.
He remained languidly leaning back in his chair, enjoying the peeled grapes offered by Chang'e, when a soft chuckle escaped from his Spiritual Sense.
The laughter was disdainful, arrogant, and carried a sense of superiority that made one's teeth itch.
"Equality?"
Qin Feng's voice boomed in the Queen Mother of the West's mind, each word like a divine mountain falling from the sky, causing her soul to tremble slightly.
"On what grounds does the Queen Mother have to talk to me about equality?"
"With your tiny plot of land in the West Kunlun?"
"Or is it based on your cultivation level, which hasn't improved an inch in tens of thousands of years?"
Before the Queen Mother of the West could react, Qin Feng's next words shattered her pride into dust.
"The Saintess of Pingxin in the Underworld, she is my bedmate. She is currently managing the Underworld Branch on my behalf."
" The Human Race Saint Mother, Nuwa, regards me as a close friend and fellow Daoist, and I even use her Red Embroidered Ball as a football to kick around."
"You saw it too."
Qin Feng pointed with his divine sense at Zhen Yuanzi, who was standing to the side with a big smile, pouring wine for Emperor Donghua.
" Zhen Yuanzi, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, is my sworn brother. To curry favor with me, he even wanted to move the Ginseng Fruit to my house."
at last.
Qin Feng's gaze swept past the crowd and landed on a bright yellow figure in the distance, drinking alone in silence.
"Even the Haotian Shangdi would give me a wide berth and wouldn't dare utter a sound."
Qin Feng withdrew his gaze, his Spiritual Sense directly addressing the Queen Mother of the West, his tone as calm as if stating a fact:
"The Sage is my wife, the Saint Mother is my best friend, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals is my little brother, and the Heavenly Emperor is under my feet."
"And you, Queen Mother of the West."
"Besides having a title and those peach trees all over the mountain, what right do you have to talk to me about 'equality'?"
"Incorporating your West Kunlun into my Goddess Immortal Alliance is to give you a powerful backer and a way to survive."
"If it weren't for the fact that Your Empress is... well, pleasing to the eye, this opportunity would be something others would beg for."
silence.
The Queen Mother of the West fell completely silent.
Qin Feng's words were harsh, domineering, and infuriating.
But every single word was the truth.
These are all bloody, undeniable realities.
Her proud identity seemed utterly pale and powerless in the face of Qin Feng's dazzling network of connections.
Compared to a saint? She's not worthy.
Compared to Qin Feng? It seems... she really only has those peaches covering the mountain to offer.
An unprecedented sense of frustration welled up in the heart of the Queen Mother of the West.
Looking at the excessively young man before her, the seemingly impenetrable defenses in her heart began to crack.
Qin Feng keenly noticed the fluctuations in her emotions.
After a beating, you should also give a sweet treat.
This is taming... oh no, this is the fundamental principle of negotiation.
Qin Feng put down his wine glass and sat up straight.
This movement caused the Great Powers who had been secretly observing nearby to feel a sudden jolt in their hearts, thinking that this man was about to make another big move.
" Queen Mother."
Qin Feng's voice softened, carrying a bewitching charm.
"A great calamity is imminent; apart from the Human Teachings, everything else in this world will be reduced to ashes."
"Although your West Kunlun is strong, under the weight of a great calamity, it is nothing more than a slightly larger ripple."
"But I'm different."
"If I can protect Zhen Yuanzi, then I can certainly protect you."
"What I want is not allies, but absolute control."
"An alliance is possible, but not between you and me. Instead, it means that your West Kunlun will be incorporated into my Goddess Immortal Alliance."
"From this day forward, you, the Queen Mother of the West, and your 100,000 female immortals, shall all obey my commands."
In exchange.
Qin Feng extended a finger and gently tapped the table.
"I guarantee that you, West Kunlun, will remain safe and sound during the great calamity."
"Even..."
A meaningful smile appeared on Qin Feng's lips.
"It's not impossible for me to help you attain the Primordial Chaos Realm."
boom!
This last sentence completely shattered the Queen Mother of the West West's last psychological defenses.
Proving the Dao and achieving Hunyuan!
That was the ultimate dream that countless cultivators longed for, yet remained unattainable.
If anyone else had said that, the Queen Mother of the West would have slapped them away.
But Qin Feng...
Looking at the fake lotus seed that still exuded Chaos Qi, and thinking about the terrifying network of connections behind it.
The Queen Mother of the West believed it.
Or rather, she was willing to take the gamble.
Rather than struggling to survive in a great calamity, it's better to cling to this strongest force in the Primordial World and fight for a future!
"Call..."
The Queen Mother of the West exhaled a long breath, and the struggle in her phoenix eyes vanished, replaced by a resolute expression.
She is a decisive woman.
Since you've made the decision, go all the way.
In the real world.
The two, who had been gazing deeply into each other's eyes, finally made a move.
The Queen Mother of the West slowly stood up.
She straightened her already impeccably styled phoenix robe, raised her wine cup, and bowed deeply to Qin Feng in front of tens of thousands of immortals and gods.
This bow was even more respectful and humble than Zhen Yuanzi's earlier one.
" Alliance Leader Qin's words are invaluable; I have learned a great deal from them."
The Queen Mother of the West's voice was no longer cold and majestic as before, but rather carried a hint of gentleness and submission.
"Since the Alliance Leader does not abandon us..."
"From this day forward, all 100,000 female immortals of West Kunlun will follow the Alliance Leader's lead without question!"
"All resources of Yaochi are at the Alliance Leader's disposal!"
"This Empress..."
She paused, two Hong Yun rising to her cheeks, her voice becoming somewhat shy, yet exceptionally firm:
"I am also willing to follow the Alliance Leader's... arrangements."
Whoosh--
If Zhen Yuanzi's oath was shocking, then Queen Mother of the West's statement now completely stunned everyone present.
The entire Yaochi Hall instantly fell into an eerie silence.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape enough to fit a Flat Peach.
Did you hear that right?
You must have misheard!
To blindly follow orders, to be at the mercy of commands, and to obey all arrangements.
This is hardly an alliance.
This is clearly a complete handover of the entire West Kunlun region to Qin Feng, even including his family and fortune!
"Is there something wrong with my ears?"
A Heavenly Court Star Lord picked at his ear and asked his colleague with a blank expression.
"No... no problem."
His colleague swallowed hard, his gaze fixed.
" The Queen Mother of the West... seems to have sold herself out, and is still helping Qin Feng count the money."
The Great Powers in the main seats were so shocked they almost fell off their chairs.
Zhen Yuanzi dropped his Fly Whisk to the ground, and looked at Qin Feng as if he were looking at a monster.
"Brother, your skills are..."
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"
"Not only did she eat his food, she even brought the rice bowl back with her!"
The one who reacted the most was Haotian, who was sitting in the corner.
When he heard the words "follow the Alliance Leader's lead without question," he was struck dumb, frozen in place.
The sixth Glazed Goblet in my hand, thankfully, didn't break.
Because he had forgotten to exert force.
"It's over."
Only these two words remained on an endless loop in Haotian's mind.
West Kunlun surrendered.
The West Kunlun, which controlled all the female immortals in the world and possessed countless peaches of Flat Peach, completely sided with Qin Feng.
what does that mean?
This means that Qin Feng's Goddess Immortal Alliance, overnight, has expanded into a behemoth capable of rivaling or even surpassing the Heavenly Court Heavenly Court!
They have people, money, and powerful backers.
And what does this Heavenly Emperor have left besides his pitiful military power?
Alone and isolated.
A truly lonely person.
"Puff--"
Haotian felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he could no longer suppress a mouthful of blood, which he spat out, staining the table in front of him red.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what's wrong?!"
Taibai Jinxing was terrified and quickly supported the swaying Haotian.
"No... it's nothing."
Haotian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with trembling hands. His once majestic eyes were now filled with bloodshot veins and despair.
Looking at Qin Feng in the distance, who was smilingly helping up the Queen Mother of the West with an expression that said "we're all family," a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
"Since Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang also born?"
Is Qin Feng sent by heaven specifically to ward off him?
"Taibai..."
Haotian's voice was weak, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"Let's... go."
"We might as well skip this Peach Banquet."
If he stayed any longer, he feared he would truly die of anger in this Yaochi Palace, becoming the first Heavenly Emperor to die of anger since the beginning of Primordial World.
That would be a really big joke.
On the other side...
Qin Feng was completely unaware of Haotian's departure after spitting blood, or rather, he didn't care at all.
He was busy reassuring this "subordinate" he had just taken on.
"Since we're family now, there's no need for so much formality."
Qin Feng seized the opportunity to grab the Queen Mother of the West's soft, boneless hand and gently stroked it, taking advantage of her openly and legitimately.
"From now on, Your Empress will be in charge of matters concerning West Kunlun."
"I'm lazy and don't like to bother with trivial matters."
"As long as Your Empress remembers..."
Qin Feng moved closer to the Queen Mother of the West, looking at her stunningly beautiful face so close to his own, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"It doesn't matter whose side you're on."
The Queen Mother of the West trembled, feeling a current travel from her fingertips throughout her body, making her feel half-limp.
She looked up at Qin Feng, her eyes sparkling with a mixture of shyness and a sense of peace she had never felt before.
In this primordial Primordial World where the strong are revered.
It's wonderful to have such a domineering, powerful man who can casually produce chaotic Divine Artifact to rely on.
seem...
Not bad either?
"We will obey the Alliance Leader's decree."
The Queen Mother of the West responded softly, letting Qin Feng lead her by the hand as they stood on the high platform, receiving the complex, shocked, and envious gazes of the myriad immortals.
This moment.
Qin Feng stood atop the Yaochi, holding the Queen Mother of the West's hand with his left hand, with Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, Bixiao, Shi Ji, Long Ji, and Chang'e standing behind him.
Looking around, one sees beautiful women of all shapes and sizes, each one stunningly beautiful.
The most exquisite goddesses of the entire Primordial World are now within his grasp.
"Bite!"
Just then...
The long-awaited system notification sound rang cheerfully in Qin Feng's mind.
"Congratulations, host! You have successfully subdued the Queen Mother of the West, achieving the accomplishment [King of Soft Rice and Hard Rice]!"
"Detection indicates that the West Kunlun forces have merged into the Goddess Immortal Alliance; Alliance level upgraded!"
"Host reward: [ Words Manifested into Law (Beginner)]!"
"Host reward: [ Innate Supreme Treasure: Soft Rice Bowl ] one!"
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow.
Words Manifested into Law?
This is a skill only a saint could possess!
Although it's only at the beginner level, it's enough for him to roam freely in the Primordial World.
As for that Soft Rice Bowl...
Qin Feng's lips twitched.
Judging from the name, it doesn't seem like a legitimate magical artifact. I'll investigate it later.
The focus now is...
Looking at the stunned faces below the stage, Qin Feng felt a surge of pride.
He cleared his throat, and his voice echoed throughout the entire Yaochi.
Since everyone is so happy...
"Today's Peach Banquet, all expenses will be paid by me, Young Master Qin!"
"Keep the music playing, keep dancing!"
