Zhao Hongye leaped up from the bed upon hearing the words, striking an aggressive pose with excitement.
Looking at Xiao Yu across from her, she appeared extremely flustered, "Qingyun, come quickly! He's from the Demonic Path! Don't be deceived by him!"
Then Zhao Hongye looked at Xiao Yu with a face full of terror, her eyes darting around.
The opponent's cultivation base was at the first level of Qi Refining, possessing a magical artifact, and there was a puppet in the sky.
Not easy to deal with, and she had nothing now, her magical power was exhausted, unable to fend for herself...
Xiao Yu scrutinized her with a playful expression.
Although Zhao Hongye wasn't as alluring as Hua Lian or Bai Yue, she gave him a sense of a righteous maiden.
In such a dire situation, she was still thinking of protecting three unrelated mortals?
Li Qingyun hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Senior Zhao, this gentleman just saved us... He didn't harm us, and your injuries were healed by the elixir he gave... This gentleman is our savior..."
Huang Xiang and Zhang Lan also chimed in, "Indeed, it was our benefactor who released us..."
Zhao Hongye instinctively shrank her neck and stammered, "What... what do you want? Whatever it is, come at me, don't bully them!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yu approached, releasing a pile of vegetables and clothes, saying, "I saved you, from this moment on, you are my maidservants!"
"In the future, you'll help me with laundry, cooking, and tending to spirit herbs in this Alchemy Room!"
"Don't think about escaping, this is the Sect of Harmonious Union. If you leave my place, you won't have a good end, there's still a war going on outside!"
"As for the girl who wanted to go home and assure her family, just wait. It's definitely not safe to go to Riverflow City now. When it's safe, I might make a trip to the city."
Zhao Hongye looked at the vegetables and clothes before her and instinctively swallowed.
Seeing this, Zhang Lan hurriedly bowed with her daughter, saying, "Thank you, benefactor! Thank you, benefactor! Xiang'er, quickly start the fire!"
Li Qingyun looked nervously at Xiao Yu, then at Zhao Hongye.
Xiao Yu stared directly at Zhao Hongye, saying, "I saved you, how will you repay me? If I hadn't released you, you would probably die within three days."
Zhao Hongye instinctively clenched her fists, "I... I..."
Seeing this, Xiao Yu stepped forward and picked her up, scaring Zhao Hongye into shouting.
Li Qingyun hurriedly pleaded, "Benefactor... this young lady is willing to serve you, Senior Zhao Hongye is unwell... she has been protecting us in the gourd, I beg you... please..."
Xiao Yu chuckled softly at this.
In terms of beauty alone, Li Qingyun was the most outstanding among the four women.
She had an air of freshness, with an extraordinary temperament, clearly from a wealthy family.
Her beauty was captivating, her eyebrows like a painting.
Her eyes were like autumn water, bright and lively, full of spirit.
Li Qingyun
Xiao Yu didn't waste words.
An hour later...
Li Qingyun looked incredulously at her palm, saying, "I... how am I at the first level of Body Tempering, how do I have a cultivation base?"
Xiao Yu held her with one arm, saying, "You're smart, you want to repay Zhao Hongye for saving you all these days, right?"
"But since you're willing to be with me, I won't treat you poorly. From now on, you'll manage the household chores in this Alchemy Room!"
"Are you from an official's family?"
Li Qingyun shook her head, "My family is from the Li Manor in Riverflow City, we do business, and I read a bit when I was young."
Xiao Yu's lips curled up, "You gave yourself to me so easily, don't you feel wronged?"
Li Qingyun was stunned for three seconds, then lowered her head sadly, "I was already a dying person... my life was saved by the benefactor, how can I talk about feeling wronged..."
After sending Li Qingyun away, Xiao Yu looked again at the Judgment Chamber.
Hua Lian had already woken up, looking around pitifully.
He wanted to refine a thousand elixirs within a month, and he had to start with Hua Lian.
Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the
If he didn't hand over the elixirs, Elder Zhang Ziling would surely be displeased.
He was now at the first level of Qi Refining, which meant he could acknowledge her as his master?
This time he would say he broke through by luck after consuming the elixir left by Elder Wu.
He needed to plan carefully for the next month.
He had to make Hua Lian completely submit while refining a thousand elixirs.
During this time, he also had to deal with Zhao Hongye, Zhang Lan, and Huang Xiang.
After all, they all had spirit roots, and with his Nine Suns Divine Body and Blissful Harmonious Union Art, their cultivation speed wouldn't be a problem.
To be safe, he needed to learn a Soul Mark, so if they ever tried to betray him, they would die with him.
Xiao Yu vaguely remembered there was a book called "Yin-Yang Life-Borrowing Art" in Elder Wu's storage pouch.
He started searching through it.
Unlike the Harmonious Union Technique, this Life-Borrowing Art recorded some unorthodox methods.
Xiao Yu searched through it and soon found a secret technique with a leaf tucked in the page.
[Blood-Refined Soul Seal] Get faster updates on g.com.
The caster uses heart's blood to nourish the servant, imprinting a seal on the soul.
Feed once during the day when yang energy is strongest, and once at night when yin energy is strongest!
After seven days and nights of feeding, the servant's soul will bear the seal, allowing the caster to control their actions and mind!
Note: A subordinate must not use it on a superior, or they will suffer backlash!
Xiao Yu looked towards Hua Lian in the Judgment Chamber.
It seemed this Blood-Refined Soul Seal couldn't be used on a vicious maiden, as the system required them to repent.
Looking at the women outside doing laundry and cooking, Xiao Yu clenched his fist.
He would start with them.
Even good women couldn't be taken lightly; what if Li Qingyun, the good woman, tried to harm him to save Zhang Lan and her daughter?
In this twisted world, he didn't want to care about righteousness or morality; only life was real!
Just as Xiao Yu was thinking about how to place a Soul Seal on them, the system sounded again.
[Detected that the second Judgment Chamber has not yet commenced judgment, please choose a judgment mode, host!]
[Only after starting the judgment can you receive the reward for judging the second vicious maiden!]
[Using manual mode can also increase judgment value.]
The system's reminder made Xiao Yu realize he hadn't claimed his reward for subduing Hua Lian.
Looking at the two options above, Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, "Let's go with manual judgment!"
The next second, he entered the second Judgment Chamber.
Seeing the instruments of torture before him, his lips curled slightly.
Upon seeing Xiao Yu, Hua Lian panicked again, "How long do you plan to keep me here? Where is my master?"
"What exactly do you want?"
Xiao Yu laughed, "What? You weren't like this yesterday, now you want to run after a night's sleep? Seems you still don't understand your situation, Lian'er~"
Hua Lian was a bit scared, "Don't come any closer... if you do, I'll die right here!!!"
Xiao Yu's lips curled up, "Looks like yesterday had some effect, you're not cursing me anymore, just trying to scare me. Haven't I treated you well? Don't be afraid~ From now on, I won't leave this room, I'll stay here with you!"
Hua Lian's eyes were filled with panic, she realized something.
An hour later...
[Successfully judged the vicious maiden Hua Lian, second stage reward granted!]
[Reward: Third Judgment Chamber!]
