"I will obey your every command, exalted immortal!" the female immortal surnamed Cheng agreed at once. I smiled in satisfaction and said, "Now, what is your name?"
"My name is Cheng Lu. Do you wish to take me as your concubine, exalted immortal? I would be delighted! From now on, Cheng Lu will be your slave. You may do whatever you wish..." Cheng Lu hurriedly declared.
"No, no, no. I only asked your name. When did I ask you to become my concubine? Just stay here and manage your world properly. Do not compete or fight with the other Dao-attained immortals. If you encounter someone weaker than you, look after them, record their name, and report it to me when I return. If you encounter someone stronger, tell them my name and have them behave themselves until I return." I flicked my sleeve, blowing her aside and frightening her into trembling again.
"But I do not know your illustrious name, exalted immortal, or where you hail from... What should Cheng Lu tell them?" she hurriedly asked.
"I am Xia Yitian, the lord of this creation. I attained the Dao through the time law, and my meridians extend throughout the space of this creation. I hold ultimate authority here. Whatever happens, do not conceal it from me, for I can sense it all," I said with a smile.
Hearing this, Cheng Lu was so frightened that she prostrated herself again. "Cheng Lu was blind! I did not realize the Immortal Emperor of Creation had descended! Please spare my life for offending you!"
"Your life is spared. From now on, you will be a regional lord under my rule... The Immortal Emperor of Creation, eh? Heh." I rubbed my chin, looking at the hazy chaos around me, excitement stirring in my heart.
