Chapter 4

Of course, with Ye Qinchuan's status, she didn't dare to refuse any of Ling Xiao's requests.

After all, the lives of over five hundred people in the Xuanjian Sect were in his hands.

Fortunately, at this moment, Young Master Ling also took Yue Qiuci with him. This way, it wasn't just a man and a woman alone, but rather... a dragon and two phoenixes.

Sigh... The scene seems even clearer now?

Until the two entered the cave, Ling Xiao casually set up a barrier to seal the entrance, then threw Yue Qiuci to one side before turning to look at Ye Qinchuan in front of him.

It must be said that Ye Qinchuan's beauty could rival any Holy Maiden of Shenzhou, any descendant of the ancient clans, and perhaps even surpass them.

Her skin was as smooth as congealed fat, and she moved with the grace of a startled swan.

Even Yue Qiuci, standing beside her, was slightly inferior.

Of course, Ling Xiao's actions were not driven by lust.

What he intended to do was to seize the opportunity, strike while the iron was hot, and thoroughly convince this woman of destiny of his character, laying the groundwork for her eventual subjugation.

Remember, as a穿越者 (time traveler), the most precious golden finger is your brain.

"Take off your clothes."

Suddenly, Ling Xiao said to Ye Qinchuan in front of him.

"Huh? Wh... What? Young... Young Master!!"

Ye Qinchuan's face immediately showed panic, her beautiful eyes revealing helplessness and fear.

She turned her head to look at Yue Qiuci beside her, only to see a hint of mockery on the face of this female emperor of the demonic sect, as if she had long predicted this outcome.

"Do as I say and take them off."

But Ling Xiao offered no explanation, his tone even somewhat cold.

"So... he was just pretending all along?"

Ye Qinchuan closed her eyes in despair, for a moment, she did consider resisting.

But if she made an irrational move, the cost would likely be the entire Xuanjian Sect paying with their lives.

"Ding, the host's behavior aligns with the antagonist's style, gaining 300 points of antagonist value."

Hearing the voice from the system, Ling Xiao's face didn't show any surprise.

On this immortal path, where gods and demons dance, in the end, only those who stand at the pinnacle of heaven are the true righteous ones.

"Rustle."

With the sound of clothes falling to the ground, Ye Qinchuan was soon left in only her undergarments.

Ling Xiao's gaze remained calm, while tears streamed down Ye Qinchuan's face.

"Have you ever been bitten by some kind of venomous creature?"

Ling Xiao's hand touched Ye Qinchuan's chest, feeling the warmth and smoothness, but his voice remained cold and calm.

"Huh?"

Ye Qinchuan clenched her teeth tightly, especially as she felt the hand gradually moving downward, her face showing a look of humiliation.

After a long while, she suddenly reacted.

"Young Master... What... What did you say?"

"There's residual poison in your body, blocking your meridians. In recent years, when you practice, you often feel excruciating pain, right?"

Ling Xiao's hand moved over every inch of Ye Qinchuan's skin, his face still serious and solemn.

Ye Qinchuan was stunned. Was Young Master... diagnosing her pulse?

A few years ago, when she went out to train, she was indeed bitten by a demonic creature.

Her father, Ye Liuyun, the head of the Xuanjian Sect, had to go to great lengths to have someone remove the poison for her.

But after that, she found her cultivation speed slowing down.

Even when she was about to break through, she would feel the pain of her meridians tearing apart!

But...

How did Young Master know?

Could she have misunderstood him?

At this moment, Ye Qinchuan's heart trembled.

"It's not a big problem, but it's a bit troublesome to resolve."

Ling Xiao shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a pill from his pocket.

"This is a third-grade Nourishing Spirit Pill. If you take it, it should clear the residual poison from your body."

Actually, he knew nothing about poisons.

Just now, he was just making a show of it.

Understanding or not, a woman is most vulnerable when she is powerless to resist.

But when she realizes that this humiliation is actually a form of protection, her eyes will soon well up with tears.

Poisons from such a wild place are naturally no challenge.

As a woman of destiny, Ye Qinchuan wouldn't be easy to subdue.

Using force definitely wouldn't work. The best way is... to make her feel moved.

Of course, this kind of moving isn't like the sappy "drink more hot water."

It's about giving her some hope when she is most desperate.

Ling Xiao was adept at such tactics.

"Young Master..."

Sure enough, Ye Qinchuan's expression changed. Looking at this mysterious young master from Shenzhou, her face showed gratitude.

Even looking into his clear, deep eyes, Ye Qinchuan felt a hint of guilt.

So... he really is trustworthy!

A third-grade spirit pill, even a top-tier force like the Xuanjian Sect in the Northern Wasteland couldn't casually produce such a high-grade pill!

"What are you standing there for? Quickly take it and refine it. It should help your cultivation."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth, and at that moment, the system's voice sounded again.

"Young... Young Master, it's getting late. You should rest early. I... I'll go refine it outside."

Ye Qinchuan hastily put on her clothes and turned to leave.

Although Ling Xiao's actions just now moved her,

but this mysterious young master was truly unpredictable.

His actions were both righteous and evil, acting as he pleased.

Ye Qinchuan felt very unsafe with him, or rather, she was also afraid of losing her composure.

"The poison in your body isn't something you can just expel. It's best to refine it in front of me so I can help if any problems arise."

Ling Xiao said casually, then turned and walked to one side to close his eyes and cultivate.

He had his own purpose in doing this, which was to plant a thorn in Ye Qinchuan's heart, a thorn that would drive her to break with Chu Yang, making her feel she had a way out and thus reducing her concerns.

The reason Ling Xiao brought Yue Qiuci was to let her see the scene of the two of them being honest with each other.

This way, when the time comes and she tells Chu Yang about this, can you guess... whether this man of destiny will be moved to tears?

"This..."

Ye Qinchuan hesitated for a moment, then obediently walked to Ling Xiao's side.

"I don't like others around when I cultivate. Stay away from me."

But what Ye Qinchuan didn't expect was that Ling Xiao would actually push her away.

From a young age, this proud daughter of heaven had always been adored.

She had never been rejected like this, which made her feel somewhat defeated.

Of course, Ye Qinchuan understood that someone of Ling Xiao's status would have met many beautiful women. How could he possibly be interested in her?

Thinking this, Ye Qinchuan suddenly felt a bit inferior.

Ling Xiao, of course, didn't care about Ye Qinchuan's thoughts at the moment.

But he understood a principle: to subdue a woman, the most effective method is to play hard to get.

Especially seeing the disappointment on Ye Qinchuan's face, Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile.
