Meng Yiran Calls Him Master

"Hmph, what is there to be afraid of? Even if you died, it would only be a little more trouble for me. Do you really think your grandparents can threaten me?"

"Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma may count as seniors on the Douluo Continent, but there are plenty of people stronger than them in Spirit Hall. When all is said and done, they're only Spirit Emperors."

"Rather than fall into your hands, I might as well kill myself now."

Meng Yiran's face was filled with resolve, but in the next moment, her neck was seized in a savage grip. The intense feeling of suffocation made her desperately gasp for air, but the force around her neck only grew stronger.

"Do you feel it? This is death. Didn't you want to die? I'll grant your wish right now."

Meng Yiran had originally intended to threaten him with her life and make him release her, but she hadn't expected him not to play by the rules.

The intense feeling of suffocation filled her with fear.

Her desire to live was incredibly strong, and tears soon welled up in her eyes.

Yet, faced with this person's overwhelming strength, she ultimately endured it.

Seeing Meng Yiran's breathing grow weaker and her eyes gradually lose their color, Bai Ying said, "This is what death feels like. Now tell me, do you still want to die? If you want to die, I can grant your wish right now."

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

Meng Yiran was truly panicking now. Her voice grew weaker as she tightly grabbed the hand around her neck and begged for mercy.

"Remember what you said today. If you ever try to kill yourself again, this will be your fate. Anyone who offends me will either die in agony or live a fate worse than death."

"Considering how beautiful you are, I've already shown you mercy beyond the law. Don't be ungrateful."

With that, he flung her to the ground. Meng Yiran gulped down fresh air, and her eyes were filled with fear and awe as she looked at Bai Ying.

"I'll give you two choices. Remember, you only get one chance to choose. If you fail to make the right choice, your fate will be worse than death."

"Listen carefully. The first choice is for me to lure over some powerful Soul Beasts. If you can survive being torn apart by them, then our grudge will be wiped clean. But I'll warn you: most of the Soul Beasts I lure over will be ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts. With your current strength, you should at least be good enough to serve as their food. After all, your flesh is tender and springy."

Meng Yiran thought for a moment, then shook her head and looked at Bai Ying with tears in her eyes.

"The second choice is for you to obediently call me 'Master' right now and let me hear it. If you can make me happy, not only will I not hurt you, I'll also give you an incredible gift."

"Choose. I've already given you the opportunity, but I don't have much time. I'll give you ten seconds at most to think."

As Bai Ying began counting down, Meng Yiran fell into a terrible dilemma.

Tears streamed down uncontrollably. She had originally wanted to refuse, but the moment she recalled the methods he had used against her, her body trembled involuntarily.

How did I dare provoke this beast? If I had another chance, even if it meant beating me to death, even if I lost the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent Spirit Ring, I absolutely wouldn't provoke this fiend.

As time passed, Meng Yiran swallowed her humiliation and said, "Master."

"I didn't hear you. Say it louder."

"Master."

With every word she spoke, Meng Yiran felt as though a thousand knives were carving up her heart.

"That's more like it. Remember, from now on, I'm your Master. Whatever I want you to do, you must do it. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

"Do you understand?"

"Answer me. Do you understand?"

Bai Ying raised his voice, startling Meng Yiran. Her lips trembled as she stammered, "I... understand."

"Good. Since you understand, that's all that matters. I have a bad temper, so don't harbor any unrealistic fantasies about me."

"All right, come here first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yiran slowly stood up. She felt nothing but fear toward the man before her.

When she came to his side, her entire body was trembling.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't be so afraid. I told you, I'll give you an incredible gift."

Bai Ying then took out an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid from his soul tool storage.

"Absorb this, and your strength will improve greatly."

Meng Yiran didn't dare resist. She sat down and began absorbing the Immortal Herb.

After an hour, Meng Yiran felt that her Soul Power had undergone a qualitative leap.

"I actually broke through to Level 35? I rose by five levels?"

"How did you do it?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Just remember one thing: I won't mistreat you."

"If I have meat to eat, you'll have soup to drink."

Just then, Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma arrived. Both of them were covered in wounds.

Clearly, dealing with that group of Soul Beasts had consumed a tremendous amount of their Soul Power and stamina.

"Yiran, don't be afraid. Grandpa is here."

Meng Shu spoke with an extremely dark expression.

"Let Yiran go. If you have a problem, take it up with this old man."

"Senior, you may have misunderstood. She agreed to become my servant of her own accord."

"Bullshit! How is that possible?"

"Why wouldn't it be? I can rapidly raise her strength in a short time. What's impossible about that?"

At that moment, Chao Tianxiang came to Meng Yiran's side and checked her. She discovered that Meng Yiran's Soul Power Level had risen by a full five levels.

They hadn't been apart for long, yet her Soul Power had increased so rapidly.

"Senior, please rest assured. I only gave her an Immortal Herb. It won't damage her talent or foundation. How about this, Senior? I promise that I can help her break through to the Titled Douluo realm within ten years."

"Moreover, I'll only make her serve as my maid for three years. After three years, if she wishes to leave, I can send her back to the two of you at any time."

"During that time, I also won't make her do anything against her will. What do you think?"

Bai Ying's words left Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma silent. Breaking through to the Titled Douluo realm within ten years—if they had heard that before, they definitely wouldn't have believed it. But now, they had no choice but to reconsider.

Meng Yiran would gain far more by following this Holy Son than by remaining with them.

Besides, hadn't they just seen it themselves? She had risen by five levels. If it had been them, could they have raised her by five levels in such a short time?

Just then, Meng Yiran took the initiative to say, "Grandpa, Grandma, I agreed to follow the Holy Son of my own accord."

"Yiran, are you really willing to go?"

Chao Tianxiang asked.

Meng Yiran nodded, then said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, Grandma. This is all my own choice."

There were no parents in the world who didn't hope their children would become successful. In the end, Dragon Duke agreed.

"Since this is your choice, we respect it."

"Boy, I'm warning you. If you dare do anything improper to Yiran, I definitely won't let you off."

After Dragon Duke, Snake Grandma, and Meng Yiran exchanged a few words, they finally left.
