"We have to leave quickly. This person's strength must be terrifying."
When Bai Ying saw Zhu Zhuqing's movements, he naturally understood what she was trying to do. He then said, "I advise you to stay here obediently. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe. Once I've dealt with this bunch of trash, you'll be mine. I never thought I'd stumble upon such a piece of news here—a member of the royal nobility. It seems my harvest will be quite substantial."
Bai Ying's gaze as he looked at the black-clad men became extremely amused.
"Go ahead and run. If you manage to escape, it'll mean you weren't destined to die. I'll reluctantly let you off. How about it?"
The black-clad men immediately became furious. After all, they were Soul Kings and Soul Elders, and judging by his age, he shouldn't be very powerful either.
The next moment, three Spirit Rings slowly rose. Since Bai Ying was wearing a Bronze Mask, the aura he displayed was concealed, and the Spirit Rings appeared to be the standard Hundred-year Spirit Ring, Hundred-year Spirit Ring, and Thousand-year Spirit Ring.
"I thought you were much stronger. I didn't expect you to be a Three-Ring Soul Master. With so many of us here, do you really think we can't kill you?"
"Get him! Kill him!"
"First Soul Skill, Shadow Dragon Roar."
The sound of a dragon's roar entered the minds of everyone present, immediately causing them intense headaches.
"Second Soul Skill, Shadow Dragon Claw."
With several cracking sounds, the bodies of several black-clad men were torn apart.
"I gave you a chance and let you run, but you insisted on courting death. What was that saying again? The enemy not only refuses to surrender but even dares to attack me. You're truly asking for death."
The gruesome deaths of those black-clad men completely terrified the remaining few. They began fleeing for their lives.
"I gave you a chance to run, but you refused. Now you want to run again? Where does that leave my dignity?"
"Time Battle Saber."
"Time Seal."
The surrounding space instantly froze. A breeze swept past. When time began flowing again, they were shocked to discover that their heads had been severed, leaving their corpses truly separated.
"How did you do that? Who exactly are you?"
"I didn't expect dead people to be so talkative."
After dealing with those people, Bai Ying turned his gaze toward Zhu Zhuqing and looked at her injured appearance.
He felt extremely distressed. What if the wound left a scar this time? Then he wouldn't be able to properly enjoy this Kitten.
Congratulations, Host. The Slave Seal has been issued. Would you like to use it?
"Use it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light entered Zhu Zhuqing's body with astonishing speed.
"Who are you?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was filled with fear as she slowly retreated step by step.
"What kind of person am I? You only need to remember one thing: I am your Master now."
"Master? No, I don't have a Master."
Zhu Zhuqing slowly stood up. Her left arm was injured, but her eyes were filled with killing intent as she gripped the dagger in her hand tightly.
"I don't care who you are. Get lost."
Two Spirit Rings rose beneath Zhu Zhuqing's feet as she assumed an attacking stance.
"What an undisciplined little Kitten. Do you really think you can still resist me?"
"Get lost."
"First Soul Skill, Hell Stab."
Just as Zhu Zhuqing's attack was about to land on Bai Ying, he gave a light cough and said, "Stop. Sit down."
The next moment, Zhu Zhuqing's body completely ceased to obey her control and abruptly sat down.
"What is happening? Why won't my body obey me? What did you do to me?"
"What did I do? Of course I made you my exclusive little Kitten."
"The Star Luo Imperial Family. This is a massive windfall. How could I possibly let you leave so easily?"
"Aren't you afraid the Star Luo Empire will find out and come after you?"
"They dare cause trouble for me? Do you think that's even possible? My identity is the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and behind me stands the entire Spirit Hall. Besides, who can prove that I took you away? Even if they could prove it, do you think the Star Luo Empire would offend the entire Spirit Hall over one person?"
"And if you want to live, then you'd better obey me."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were filled with killing intent. She wanted nothing more than to rush over and kill this man.
But her body was firmly controlled by a force, leaving her completely unable to move as she wished.
"Don't bother trying. I've already secretly taken control of your body, and you can forget about breaking free from my control."
"I know I'll kill you."
"I'll be waiting for that day. Can you kill me now? Becoming my slave is your only choice."
"Get up. I'll take you to treat your wounds. Otherwise, they'll leave scars, and you won't be pretty anymore."
Zhu Zhuqing wore a helpless expression when she heard this.
She had just wanted to refuse, but her body moved against her will and followed him toward the depths of the forest.
The intense pain coming from her body, combined with her inability to control it, caused tears to appear on her originally cold face. She looked so pitiful that anyone would feel sorry for her.
Before long, she collapsed directly onto the ground from the pain.
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing's wounds had begun to fester, Bai Ying had no choice but to stop.
He slowly crouched down and looked at Zhu Zhuqing. With a disgusted and vicious expression, he said, "You'd better not die. Otherwise, I'll suffer a huge loss."
Then, under her astonished gaze, he pulled open her clothes.
"You pervert! You deviant!"
With a loud slap, Zhu Zhuqing's palm struck him heavily across the face.
Bai Ying was completely stunned. Wasn't he supposed to be able to control her completely? Why could she break free of his control?
"System, what's going on? You'd better give me a reasonable explanation, or I won't let you off."
Sorry. There was a tiny problem with the system's functions, but there is no longer any problem now.
"You call that a tiny problem? It got me slapped! My handsome face was slapped just like that! Do you have any idea how much damage this has caused me?"
Zhu Zhuqing had not expected to be able to control her own body. She instinctively tried to hit him, only to discover that she couldn't.
Zhu Zhuqing began to feel afraid.
"Now you know fear? Forget it. I'll settle this with you after your injuries heal."
"I'll definitely repay this debt when the time comes."
"Then kill me now and give me release."
"Don't try to provoke me with that reverse psychology. It won't work. Besides, how could I bear to kill such a beautiful woman? You're still very useful. I happen to be lacking someone to warm my bed, and you're perfect for the job."
"How is my arrangement? Being able to warm my bed is your honor. You should be secretly celebrating. Make sure to thank me properly."
