CHAPTER 72: CHAPTER 70: CHEN QINGLING

Chen Qingling murmurs.

"Uncle Li, save me, save my mother... as long as you save us, Qingling will agree to anything for you..."

"Qingling possesses a Yellow Rank Middle Grade Wood Spirit Root..."

"Qingling is still untouched..."

No man could resist her at this moment.

Since she and Mu Qingwan were captured by Zhao Xian’s Story, her mother had turned into Zhao Xian’s Story’s slave, humiliated at will, while she was forced to learn how to please men...

Though she was still a maiden, her skills had become extraordinary.

Yet, Li An kept his eyes closed.

"Uncle Li, why don’t you dare open your eyes to look at me, are you afraid of me..."

She moved closer to Li An.

Li An suddenly opened his eyes and slapped her in the face.

Chen Qingling was knocked off the bed, her jade-like face swollen and red.

"Uncle Chen... do you like it this way?"

She started to laugh unexpectedly.

"Your parents once took my pill, and you still want me to save you?"

"Hah, if it wasn’t for Zhao Xian’s Story saving you and your mother, you two would have died at the hands of the Demon Sect, and you dare not be grateful?"

"A lowly woman like you, are you worthy of touching my body?"

Li An sneered, his voice equally suppressed.

Chen Qingling paused.

But she quickly understood something and suddenly crawled over again, kneeling before Li An, "Uncle Li... you don’t believe me, you’re afraid I’m sent by Zhao Xian’s Story to test you, aren’t you?"

"What if I tell you, Zhao Xian’s Story isn’t trying to recruit you, but wants to kill you?"

Chen Qingling whispered close to Li An’s ear, "Zhao Xian’s Story has allied with the Demon Sect."

"They are looking for you..."

"A month ago, Zhao Xian’s Story sent Steward Liu away. Steward Liu is his trusted aide..."

Li An casually made several sounds, eliciting a cry of pain from her, and whispered in response, "How did you know?"

"You don’t need to worry about that. You either believe me or wait for death... Uncle Li, what will you choose?"

"Where is my Tier Two magical artifact?"

"In the Dharma Hall. Zhao Xian’s Story fears you would grow suspicious, so indeed it’s being nurtured by Earth Fire in the Dharma Hall... if you want to go, I can guide you."

"...Where’s Wang Dazhu? Where is he?"

"...He should also be in the Dharma Hall. He’s a fool, afraid of losing your treasure and disappointing you, so he must be guarding it there..."

Throughout the process, Chen Qingling deliberately made various sounds, her acting was innate and seamless, even seasoned veterans couldn’t tell the real from the fake of this lurid play.

To make it more real, Li An also occasionally cooperated by making noises, enhancing the authenticity of the scene.

In a precarious situation, Li An wasn’t truly in the mood.

"Act at dawn, when their vigilance is lowest..."

Li An reflected, suddenly reached out and moved his poisonous finger, injecting her body with poison.

Her body convulsed, her face pale, and she looked at Li An with incredulity.

Chen Qingling’s eyes were filled with fear: "What did you do to me?"

She asked in terror.

"Gu Poison, only I can cure it..."

"If you dare deceive me, and something happens to me, you will be doomed too, understand?"

Li An spoke calmly.

Chen Qingling was very clever, much smarter than her mother!

The smarter one is, the more they need to be controlled!

Li An’s Cold Yin Finger poison could easily kill her, and moreover, Li An mixed it with Yin Yang Demonic Qi, wrapping it in the aura of the Life Seed, making others unable to detoxify her, unable to help her!

Li An controlled her life and death.

"Rest a bit, and continue."

Li An said: "Stopping like this might raise suspicion..."

"I’d rather you do it for real."

Chen Qingling murmured, her face looking somewhat troubled.

...

In the deep of night.

"How’s it going?"

In a secret chamber, Zhao Xian’s Story asked calmly.

A hidden servant replied, "Reporting to the master, Li An and Chen Qingling have struggled six times, Chen Qingling’s voice is hoarse..."

"Master, is it worth just giving away Chen Qingling who has a Yellow Rank Middle Grade Spirit Root?"

Zhao Xian’s Story coldly said:

"Slap yourself!"

The servant’s face changed greatly, hurriedly knelt and slapped himself.

"Leave, everything remains normal, don’t let him sense the slightest abnormality!"

The servant retreated.

Yet Zhao Xian’s Story continued to ponder.

"There are three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the clan, catching or killing him shouldn’t be difficult..."

He hesitated.

But, after a long time, he still shook his head:

"If even the Demon Sect takes him so seriously, acting recklessly might ruin things."

"It’s better to wait until the two adults arrive... they’ll be here the day after tomorrow."

Saying that, a hint of eagerness appeared in his eyes.

"If I assist the Demon Sect in capturing Li An, I can officially join the sect and obtain the cultivation technique to alter my Spirit Root, then I might have hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime..."

He yearned intensely.

Due to limitations of his Spirit Root, over the years he had exhausted various resources, yet only advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

His strength was slightly weaker even than Wang Dazhu.

Even with the Foundation Establishment Pill, his success rate wasn’t high.

Changing the Spirit Root was a must!

It’s unfortunate that the Chen Qingling he raised now had to first benefit Li An...

But it doesn’t matter, as long as Li An can be stabilized.

Hah, no matter how clever Li An is, he wouldn’t think that Zhao Xian’s Story doesn’t care whether Li An wishes to join the Zhao family or not...

As long as he stays until the day after tomorrow!

"Wretch, get in here..."

He ordered, and Mu Qingwan immediately walked in.

"Kneel!"

His face showed a mocking expression:

"Speak."

Mu Qingwan knelt in sorrow and numbness, saying:

"Master, I’m sorry, I’m a wretch, I wronged you back then, I regret it deeply, I regret it so much... please forgive me severely, I beg you!"

Zhao Xian’s Story watched with appreciation, picking up the whip at hand.

...

Soon, at dawn.

"Go!"

Li An suddenly opened his eyes, woke Chen Qingling.
