To Be a Servant, The Best Way to Die!

Chen Yifeng couldn't help himself and burst into laughter.

How many years had it been since he'd seen such a stupid rookie? Not only did he not beg for mercy, but he also wanted to draw his sword?

His eyes narrowed with laughter, and a flicker of killing intent caught his eye. Sword light appeared, filling his entire vision.

The hoarse, grating laughter abruptly stopped.

A bloody head rolled onto the ground covered in dead leaves.

"Shorty Chen?" Zhang Jiaojiao's expression froze, a chill running down her spine. Her friend of many years, her bed partner, had his head chopped off with a single sword strike? Just like that, he was dead!

Was this a hallucination?

"Qi Refining Level 3? I'm at Qi Refining Level 8!"

Su Hao stood to the left of the fallen corpse, sword in hand, and sneered at Zhang Jiaojiao.

He had broken through to Qi Refining Level 8 just a few days ago.

Facing cultivators with backgrounds like Huang Shan Yu and Liu Mei, being a coward was the wise choice.

He didn't even want to stir up trouble! He just wanted to find a safe haven in this perilous place.

Was that too much to ask?

Two cultivators at Qi Refining Level 5 jumped out from the roadside, intending to kill him together! What kind of trash sect was this!

Thump~

As the aura of Qi Refining Level 8 surged forth.

Zhang Jiaojiao knelt in terror, raising her hands. "Junior… Senior Disciple Brother, spare me! I was forced."

It wasn't that she didn't want to escape, but she knew the gap in their cultivation was too vast; escape was impossible!

Begging for mercy might offer a sliver of hope.

Su Hao, sword in hand, couldn't leave any witnesses alive.

But just as he was about to swing his sword to kill her.

His sword suddenly stopped, hovering at Zhang Jiaojiao's neck. "You want to live?"

"Of course! As long as you let me go, I'll do anything, I'll be your servant." Zhang Jiaojiao bowed even lower, her collar gaping open, revealing her alluring curves.

Su Hao suddenly realized how little he knew about the Golden Light Sect.

Even the information he'd gathered from Zhao Bai Jiang was limited.

A villain like Zhang Jiaojiao, who had clawed her way up, would surely know most of the secrets and social dynamics of the Outer Sect.

"Alright, I do need a maid," Su Hao's lips curved into a smile.

Zhang Jiaojiao forced a smile, trying to muster her most seductive expression. "I will do my utmost to serve you."

"Before that, let me seal your cultivation! Don't make any sudden moves, or I'll consider it resistance!"

Su Hao walked towards Zhang Jiaojiao at a leisurely pace.

During this process, if Zhang Jiaojiao made even the slightest move, he would kill her without hesitation.

Zhang Jiaojiao's body tensed up.

Su Hao's potent spiritual energy flowed into Zhang Jiaojiao's body, enveloping her dantian.

This method of sealing cultivation was very crude and wouldn't last long; it was more of a warning.

With the strength of Qi Refining Level 5, one could break through this surge of spiritual energy.

But if they did, Su Hao would detect it instantly.

"Absorbing Talent Power: Martial Artist (Gray), Sword Dao Talent (White)."

"Consume Martial Artist ×2, Generate New Talent: Martial General (White)."

Martial General (White): Entered the Dao through martial arts, transcended the mortal realm. Possesses some talent in body cultivation, enhancing physical potential.

[Name] Su Hao

[Realm] Qi Refining Level 8

[Talents] Wood Emperor Physique (Orange), Hidden Kill (Purple), Alchemist (Blue), Fire Elemental Sword Physique (Blue), Sword Heart (Blue), Initial Yang Qi (White), Golden Spirit Body (White), Water Spirit Body (White), Wood Affinity (White), Sword Dao Talent (White), Martial General (White)

Su Hao took a deep breath. The Martial Artist talent had upgraded, and he could faintly feel subtle changes in his flesh and blood, giving him greater control over his body.

"Take his storage bag and dispose of the body," Su Hao opened his eyes and commanded.

"Yes." Zhang Jiaojiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed she had narrowly escaped death for now.

As long as she was alive, there would be opportunities.

Back then, she had faced similar situations. As long as she lived, there was always a way!

Zhang Jiaojiao didn't hesitate and complied. She found the storage bag and threw Chen Yifeng's body down the cliff.

"Master, this is Chen Yifeng's storage bag. As far as I know, he also hid some spirit stones in his cave dwelling."

Zhang Jiaojiao respectfully presented the storage bag.

Su Hao took the storage bag, uninterested in the so-called spirit stones. If he were wealthy, why would he be out here robbing low-level cultivators?

He checked the storage bag.

It was pathetic, on par with Zhao Bai Jiang's.

Some worthless pills and clothes, a little over ten spirit stones.

Only one soul banner was somewhat noteworthy.

"Huh, a Soul Refining Banner?" Su Hao's eyes lit up. He took out the most conspicuous magic artifact, a soul banner surrounded by black mist.

"This is the Soul Refining Banner that Chen Yifeng spent all his savings on three years ago. It already has 30 Yin souls, the most powerful being the soul of a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator," Zhang Jiaojiao said immediately.

A flicker of grief and indignation crossed her eyes. It was precisely because she had underestimated him and hadn't immediately taken out the Soul Refining Banner that she ended up being killed with a single sword strike.

Su Hao slapped his forehead, filled with regret. "Damn it, I forgot to refine this guy's soul. He was a Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator, after all."

The corpse had already been thrown down the cliff. Unless he went to the bottom of the cliff to find the body and then used soul refining techniques to extract the soul from it.

"Didn't he have some talent for the sword path? Why did he start messing with a Soul Refining Banner?" Su Hao suddenly wondered. There were no swords in this guy's storage bag!

"How did you know... uh, he found practicing the sword too tiring. A year or two of hard work wasn't as good as the ten souls from the Soul Refining Banner. He was once beaten and forced to flee by a cultivator of lower strength, and after that, he gave up the sword path," Zhang Jiaojiao confessed truthfully, not daring to say more.

Su Hao had already understood this point long ago. Soul refining banners and corpse refining were the most suitable methods for these bottom-tier cultivators in the sect; they could achieve quick success easily.

This was also why he was interested in the Soul Refining Banner. Of course, he would only use the Soul Refining Banner as an auxiliary method, not as his main cultivation path.

Just like Chen Yifeng, he gave up the sword path because his physical condition and reaction speed were too poor.

"You people, if you're going to rob and kill, then just do it. Why do you have to pry into everything, act so fussy, and try to get close? If you're going to do evil, aren't you afraid of retaliation from others' elders?" Su Hao couldn't help but complain as he put away the storage bag and the Soul Refining Banner.

"Sigh..." Zhang Jiaojiao hesitated to speak, feeling a little wronged. If you attack directly, it's life or death, with no room for negotiation.

Seeing a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator daring to walk on the Outer Sect's infamous Tiger Falling Cliff.

Either he was a complete novice, or he had some hidden backing. To be safe, it was best to ask first. Was there anything wrong with that?

Who would have thought that a Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator would have such a perverse hobby, disguising himself as a low-level Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator.

Heavenly Medicine Mountain Cave Mansion.

Zhang Jiaojiao obediently followed him back. Even though she had considered seeking help from other cultivators along the way, she ultimately gave up.

She understood the sect's atmosphere too well.

Most kind disciples were already dead. Those who remained were often cold, aloof, and ruthless disciples who would never meddle in other people's affairs.

"Are you really a disciple of Heavenly Medicine Mountain?" Zhang Jiaojiao stood respectfully in front of Su Hao, her face filled with bitterness. "I haven't heard of any disciple like you on Lin Zhi Shan. As far as I know, he only has one registered disciple, Lin Miao, who is a descendant of his family."

Su Hao sat on a chair and glanced at her. "It's not your turn to ask questions. Now I'm going to ask you some questions, and you will answer truthfully."

"Yes, I will tell you everything," Zhang Jiaojiao felt a vague sense of unease.

Su Hao asked many questions, including some he had previously asked Zhao Bai Jiang.

The situation of the various peaks in the Outer Sect, their functions; besides the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion and the Scripture Repository, were there any other more secretive trading places, and so on.

"Very good, I am satisfied with your answers. But you should know the main reason I'm not killing you. Come here now."

Su Hao casually pulled open his robe, exposing his chest, and spread his legs apart.

"Yes, this servant understands perfectly." Zhang Jiaojiao was completely relieved and gave a flirtatious smile.

Indeed, all men in the world were the same. Qi Refining cultivators were no exception; they still had emotions and desires.

Years ago, she had encountered a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator and had served him for half a year.

Finally, she found an opportunity and, with her Qi Refining Level 4 strength, killed the Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator!

However, this young man was handsome and powerful. If possible, it wouldn't be bad to be his bed-warming servant.

Right now, she needed to do her utmost to please him.

This was very simple for her!

Zhang Jiaojiao had studied with a senior sister from Joy Peak for a while. Seeing Su Hao's posture, she immediately understood and knelt obediently before Su Hao, her posture charming and shy, captivating the heart.
