Ah Yin Becomes a Maid, Xiao Wu Loses Her Mind
"Don't even dream of it." At that moment, Ah Yin felt as if lightning had struck her brain. She was the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, the noblest member of the Blue Silver Family. How could she be reduced to a human's maid?
But Qian Xunling chuckled. "Do you think it's up to you? Right now, you're a fish on the chopping block. All I have to do is lift a finger, and I can leave you unable to live or die."
"Then kill me. I'd rather die than agree." Ah Yin's delicate pink face fell. She looked guiltily at Ah Rou and Xiao Wu, tears streaming down her cheeks as she sobbed, "Ah Rou, Xiao Wu, this is my fault. If you hadn't come to meet me, you never would have entered the mixed zone. Hurry and go."
"Boohoo..."
Ah Yin felt she had wronged not only Xiao Wu and Ah Rou, but also the dead Blue Silver King and the other members of the Blue Silver Family. She feared she would never have another chance to avenge them.
Xiao Wu and Ah Rou sensed Ah Yin's anguish. Their Soul Power erupted at once, as though they were ready to stake everything on a fight.
Qian Xunling felt a tearing sensation in Time Stop. He looked at Xiao Wu, then immediately seized both of Ah Yin's wrists in one hand without effort.
At the same time, Time Stop could no longer hold and dissipated. Qian Xunling looked at Xiao Wu and Ah Rou and said coldly, "Don't move. If either of you dares to make a rash move, I'll kill her immediately. You two are good at running away, but your fighting strength is nothing special. If you don't believe me, you can try."
Xiao Wu, who had just been about to charge at Qian Xunling, stopped. Ah Rou raised a hand to hold her back, then comforted Ah Yin. "Don't be afraid, Ah Yin. Da Ming and Er Ming are nearby. As soon as they sense something wrong with our presence, they'll rush over. They should already be on their way. Hold on a little longer."
"Unfortunately, I'm afraid you won't last that long." Chen Jianjun unleashed the presence of a Level 96 Titled Douluo!
He couldn't kill Xiao Wu quickly, but killing Ah Rou, who only had the cultivation of a Soul Emperor, in a short time was more than manageable.
Ah Rou also felt that powerful killing intent and was a little frightened. Just then, Bibi Dong asked, "Grandpa, could you please not kill them?"
"Huh?" Chen Jianjun looked at Bibi Dong in confusion. Only then did Ah Rou, Ah Yin, and Xiao Wu notice that a child like Bibi Dong was there too. Bibi Dong looked at Qian Xunling. "Martial Uncle, could you spare them? Please let them go."
"Their legs belong to them. If they wanted to run, they would have done it already," Qian Xunling said, at a loss for words.
Bibi Dong continued, "But Martial Uncle, you're holding their companion. They definitely wouldn't leave like that, just like you didn't abandon me when I was captured."
"So, Little Spider, are you saying you want me to let this one go too?" Qian Xunling asked, his tone somewhat displeased.
Sensing that her martial uncle was angry, Bibi Dong lowered her head but raised her eyes. "No, that's not what Little Spider meant."
Qian Xunling knew Little Spider didn't want to see anyone die, but he paid her thought no mind. Ah Yin had to be punished!
"Let Ah Yin go! Ah Yin would never become your maid," Ah Rou shouted.
Just then, Qian Xunling looked at Chen Jianjun. "Shut them up. Don't let them die."
"All right."
With that, Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin charged in again.
Unlike their earlier probing attacks, Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin used their Martial Soul Fusion Skill straightaway this time.
"Seven Kill Thrust Formation!"
A sword formation trapped Ah Rou and Xiao Wu. Even the Death Spider Emperor would have found the formation troublesome, let alone two Soft Bone Rabbits. But Ah Rou and Xiao Wu had Void, Invincible Golden Body, and even Teleportation, allowing them to dodge Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin's attacks again and again.
But Ah Rou's Soul Power was too low to sustain such frequent use of Soul Skills. Before long, during a brief pause, Chen Jianjun struck her with his sword and sent her flying out of the formation. She slammed heavily into a tree, snapping it.
Seeing this, Ah Yin cried out, "Ah Rou! I'm begging you! Hurry and go!"
When Xiao Wu saw her mother gravely injured, the entire beast lost her mind. She charged at Chen Xin, intending to help Ah Rou, but she was too reckless. Chen Xin immediately found an opening and struck her with his sword as well!
"Xiao Wu!" Ah Yin shouted.
"Stop shouting. You're making me look like some big villain. Why don't you think about how many times I shouted for you to spare me earlier? But you refused to listen, no matter what. Now that I've caught you, do you think I'll let you have an easy time?" As Qian Xunling spoke, he chuckled, but Bibi Dong, standing beside him, tugged at his trousers.
Qian Xunling looked at her impatiently. Bibi Dong asked in a low voice, "Martial Uncle, bunnies are so cute. Could you go a little easier on them?"
"Stop calling them that. Annoy me again, and I'll make her into a spicy rabbit head and eat it all in front of you," Qian Xunling said impatiently.
"Boohoo, Martial Uncle, y-you're so mean. Bunnies are so cute. How could you eat one?" Bibi Dong said, aggrieved.
Qian Xunling gave her a speechless look, then turned to Ah Yin and sneered. "Make your choice. Will you become my maid, or watch the two of them get killed?"
"You hateful human." Ah Yin looked at Qian Xunling with reddened eyes.
"Don't you start shouting too. The more you shout, the faster they'll die." Qian Xunling rolled his eyes at her.
For some reason, he felt that Ah Rou and Bibi Dong were remarkably alike.
Was it because they were both children?
"Ah!" Chen Jianjun stabbed the Seven Kill Sword into Ah Rou's shoulder, then stood beside her. One more strike, and Ah Rou would surely die. Seeing this, Ah Yin cried, "Please, don't kill Ah Rou."
Seeing this, Xiao Wu's already red rabbit eyes seemed to fill with blood. With a hiss, she charged at Chen Jianjun, but there was no need for him to act. Chen Xin alone stopped Xiao Wu, who had lost her mind.
"Make your choice. My patience is limited." Qian Xunling looked at Ah Yin.
Ah Rou looked at Ah Yin and said through gritted teeth, "Ah Yin, don't agree to her terms. You're the Blue Silver Emperor, and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
As she spoke, the gravely injured Ah Rou coughed up blood. Ah Yin cried, "Stop talking. Please, stop."
At that moment, the guilt in Ah Yin's heart had reached its peak. She even wanted to trade her life for their freedom, but she simply couldn't do it. Now her only path was to accept Qian Xunling's humiliating agreement and become his maid for the rest of her life.
Qian Xunling knew that on the extremely feudal Douluo Continent, a single promise or agreement could make a person abide by it for a lifetime and even affect their Dao heart. Take Qian Daoliu, for example: if nothing major happened, he really would choose to honor his agreement with Tang Chen for the rest of his life.
So the first step in tormenting Ah Yin was to reduce her from the lofty Blue Silver Emperor to a maid.
"Hurry up. Do you think just anyone can become my maid? The chance I'm giving you is something countless people couldn't get even if they begged for it," Qian Xunling said impatiently.
"As long as I agree, will you let Ah Rou and Xiao Wu go?" Ah Yin looked at Qian Xunling, sobbing.
"Of course," Qian Xunling replied. "I'm a man of my word."
At that moment, Bibi Dong also spoke up beside him. "Martial Uncle is a little annoying, but he always does what he says."
"You find your martial uncle annoying?" Qian Xunling glanced at Bibi Dong.
"No." Bibi Dong covered her head and smiled. "Little Spider likes Martial Uncle best."
Qian Xunling looked at Ah Yin. "Hurry up."
Ah Rou shouted, "No, Ah Yin, don't agree to it."
But Ah Yin shook her head with a bitter look. "Ah Rou, you and Xiao Wu must live well from now on."
After saying that, Ah Yin spoke again. "I'm willing to become your maid."
"Wait. My name is Qian Xunling. Swear it using your real name." Qian Xunling chuckled as he looked at Ah Yin.
As though her thoughts had been seen through, Ah Yin lowered her head even further, her face more forlorn still. "I, Ah Yin, am willing to be Qian Xunling's maid for the rest of my life."
"Good."
But just then, the presences of two extremely terrifying Soul Beasts came from the forest.
At the same time, the earth shook and the mountains trembled.
"Da Ming and Er Ming are here," Ah Rou said joyfully.
Qian Xunling, however, showed no sign of tension. He slowly used his Seventh Soul Skill. "Wormhole Jump."
"Let's go." Qian Xunling looked at Chen Xin and Chen Jianjun.
The two of them badly wanted to kill Ah Rou and obtain a Soul Bone, but they were unwilling to disobey Qian Xunling's order. They could only give up and rush toward the wormhole.
Just before everyone entered the wormhole.
Qian Xunling suddenly looked behind him and saw a pink Soft Bone Rabbit that had lost her mind teleport over, ramming them with her plump body.
"What the hell?!"
Seeing this, Ah Rou's heart sank to the bottom of a valley. She roared, "Xiao Wu!"
