“Su Changsheng, you’ve already gotten what you wanted. But don’t forget, this is the Supreme Profound Holy Land. I am the Saintess of the Supreme Profound Holy Land. Even if Martial Aunt Murong doesn’t kill you, the other Peak Masters won’t spare you, and my other admirers won’t spare you either.”
Su Changsheng had long expected that Ning Qing’er would threaten him afterward. Whatever he did, he always left no loopholes. It was a good habit he had developed in his previous life.
“Oh? Is that so? Then take a look at this.”
As he spoke, Su Changsheng suddenly took out a recording crystal.
Seeing the recording crystal in Su Changsheng’s hand, Ning Qing’er’s expression changed drastically. Her face turned pale as she cursed loudly, “A recording crystal? You bastard, did you record everything that just happened?”
“What exactly is in your head? Why would you think of using a recording crystal to record such things?”
“You’re truly despicable and shameless.”
At this moment, Ning Qing’er felt overwhelming regret.
She should never have agreed to meet Su Changsheng.
If she hadn’t met him, none of this would have happened today.
Or if she had kept her disciple by her side, Su Changsheng probably wouldn’t have dared to act so boldly.
But there was no medicine for regret in this world. No matter how much she regretted it now, it was useless.
“Beautiful memories naturally deserve to be recorded. Isn’t that right?”
Ning Qing’er took a deep breath, trying hard to calm the raging anger in her heart. Then she said coldly, “Su Changsheng, this time I will treat it as if I was bitten by a dog. But you must guarantee that the recording crystal will never be spread.”
Seeing Ning Qing’er compromise, Su Changsheng smiled wickedly and said, “Saintess, rest assured. I am also someone who keeps himself clean. I wouldn’t give myself such humiliation.”
“Otherwise, when the time comes, the ones who will be embarrassed and disgraced will be both of us.”
“However, Saintess, you seem to have overlooked one issue.”
“Your cultivation hasn’t recovered yet.”
“Aren’t you curious how long my method of sealing your cultivation can last? Whether it will affect your future cultivation?”
Hearing Su Changsheng’s reminder, Ning Qing’er finally remembered that her cultivation had indeed not recovered.
So much time had passed, yet it still hadn’t returned.
What kind of method had Su Changsheng used?
Not only was it undetectable, but the effect was so powerful.
It made no sense.
The last time she saw Su Changsheng, he hadn’t used such a method. That meant Su Changsheng must have obtained it during his time at the Cliff of Contemplation.
So how exactly had Su Changsheng obtained such a technique?
He was just an admirer. Why did he have such unbelievable luck?
Moreover, what puzzled Ning Qing’er the most was that even if Su Changsheng had obtained such a method, he should not have had the courage to use it on her.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt. In the end, she stopped thinking about it altogether and urged, “Hurry up and remove the seal so my cultivation can recover.”
“That won’t do. This is another bargaining chip, Saintess.”
“The recording crystal is the bargaining chip that prevents you from killing me. As for this bargaining chip, how do you plan to compromise?”
“I’ll remind you in advance. During the time your cultivation is sealed, no matter how you cultivate, no matter what pills or heavenly treasures you take, your cultivation will not increase.”
“Moreover, this seal can only be removed by me. Even if the Holy Lord comes, or even if an immortal descends, it will be useless. They will only be able to watch.”
Hearing Su Changsheng’s explanation, Ning Qing’er suddenly felt despair and grievance.
She also longed to become stronger. Strong enough to control her own fate, to dominate this world, and to find her parents again.
But if everything Su Changsheng said was true, then she would never be able to increase her cultivation again. Her path of cultivation would essentially be cut off.
She could not accept that.
Fate was too unfair. Why did Su Changsheng possess such a heaven-defying method?
Someone like Su Changsheng simply did not deserve it. It was nothing more than a petty villain gaining power.
“Su Changsheng, you’ve already obtained me. What more do you want?”
“I’ve already agreed not to pursue this matter anymore. Why can’t you just let me go?”
“What exactly do you want before you will let me go?”
Looking at Ning Qing’er’s attitude, Su Changsheng was very dissatisfied.
Was this the attitude of someone asking for help?
When asking for help, one should behave like it. Instead, it looked as if he owed Ning Qing’er something.
If anything, Ning Qing’er owed him. What he was doing now was simply revenge, and he hadn’t taken enough revenge yet.
He had to completely shatter Ning Qing’er’s pride so that she would understand from the bottom of her heart that here, before him, Ning Qing’er was nothing more than a plaything.
Something he could control at will.
If she disobeyed, he could seal her cultivation and discipline her whenever he pleased.
As for suicide?
Impossible.
Before a cultivator like him, an ordinary person would have no chance to take their own life.
“It’s very simple. Whenever I call, you must come immediately and respectfully await my arrival. Every time I come here, you must obediently serve me. If you satisfy me, I will remove the seal for you.”
Just as expected.
This bastard Su Changsheng was still greedy for her beauty.
He felt that once was not enough and wanted to possess her forever.
She had thought that after this incident, she would never have any connection with Su Changsheng again.
But she had been too naive.
Perhaps Su Changsheng had planned this from the very beginning.
Otherwise he would not have prepared the recording crystal.
Seeing that Ning Qing’er remained silent, Su Changsheng continued, “In front of your other admirers, you can pretend if you want. But here it’s just the two of us. Don’t act cold and aloof in front of me. The colder you act, the more I want to drag you down into the mortal world and let you experience the trials of worldly life.”
“Su Changsheng, I know you used to like me. Don’t force me like this, alright?”
“If you truly want me to be your woman, I can try to accept it.”
Since she had already been with Su Changsheng, becoming his woman was not impossible.
But her final bottom line was that she would never accept being treated as a plaything.
Someone he would play with when he felt like it and ignore when he did not.
However, Ning Qing’er did not realize that her bottom line was being lowered again and again by Su Changsheng.
Perhaps this was human nature.
There was no absolute bottom line. As long as someone could control you, even the firmest bottom line could be broken.
“Heh! Heh! Heh! Ning Qing’er, you still haven’t recognized reality.”
“Do you think you are in any position to negotiate with me now?”
“Negotiation requires equality between both sides. Right now, you are basically no different from my slave.”
“Whatever I say, you do it. Stop talking so much nonsense. I’m too lazy to listen. You’re not worthy of speaking.”
After hearing Su Changsheng’s words, Ning Qing’er felt as if she had no rights at all.
She was the Saintess, once the goddess in Su Changsheng’s heart.
How could Su Changsheng’s mind become so twisted that he treated her like a female slave?
