Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Empress: You Will Fall for Me! (Please Follow)

"Do you remember what I said?"

Xiao Ye flashed a friendly smile.

The flower-thief had a face that looked even worse than crying, saying, "Brother Xiao, don’t kill me, I’m an SSS Enchanting Demon template, I can lure not just women, but demon beasts too."

"I can be your sidekick and help you lure demon beasts, go up front in battle."

Ziran and Qingcheng looked at him with disdain in their eyes.

*Lure demon beasts? What’s the point of that, really?*

*In the Beast Girl Era, what mattered was realm and strength—in the face of absolute power, all those schemes were just the work of useless fools.*

"Oh?" Xiao Ye rubbed his chin, pulled out a Great Venerable Crystal Core, and tossed it on the ground right near the flower-thief.

"You want to be my sidekick?"

The flower-thief didn’t immediately snatch the crystal core, but nodded desperately, saying, "Yeah, Brother Xiao, who in the younger generation of Dragon Country didn’t know your skills? Being able to follow you, Brother Xiao, is an honor for the likes of us."

*He was turning things over in his mind, wondering what Xiao Ye meant by this—giving him a crystal core?*

*Was this Xiao Ye trying to show goodwill?*

*Or, was he testing his attitude, to see if he was too greedy?*

*Should he pick up this crystal core or not?*

Qingcheng sent a message, "Xiao Ye, does this mean you’re not planning to kill him?"

Xiao Ye sent a message to the three women, "Who said I’m not killing him."

"If this guy picks up the crystal core, takes it, that means he’s too greedy, so he’s a disaster if kept alive—gotta kill him."

"If he doesn’t pick up the core, doesn’t take it, that means he’s too scheming, even more of a disaster, must kill."

Qingcheng’s mouth twitched.

Ziran rolled her eyes.

*So no matter what choice this guy made, he’s dead, huh!*

After weighing it over in his mind, the flower-thief immediately scrambled forward, snatched up the crystal core, beamed brightly, and held it up to Xiao Ye with both hands, saying eagerly,

"Brother Xiao, you dropped your crystal core."

*Inside, he was really excited, congratulating himself on how well he just did.*

*Submitting, that was really about showing where you stood, and he was putting his loyalty right out there now.*

Qingcheng looked a little surprised—this guy actually leapt out of the death trap, not bad at all.

Ziran watched Xiao Ye with interest, wondering how he’d respond.

Jiang Xue’an stood with her arms crossed next to the sofa, her eyes sparkling. *Even if the lord let this guy off, she’d have finished him off in secret for sure!*

*Dare to pretend to be my lord and rip people off for resources? Death is what you get.*

*If the lord didn’t want to dirty his own hands, Jiang Xue’an would gladly do it—if her lord played the good guy, then she’d be the villain!*

*She wasn’t just a pretty face, she was a Starry Sky Giant Beast at Quasi-Emperor Realm, Perfection!*

*She, Jiang Xue’an, was the lord’s external executioner, the obvious killer who’d take the blame for the lord!*

Xiao Ye smirked, picked up the crystal core, and stashed it, chuckling.

The flower-thief smiled too, happily as could be.

*He must have cleared the trial, no more dying today!*

But then Xiao Ye suddenly changed his tone, making the smile on his face freeze up hard.

"You’re way too scheming. I, Xiao Ye, don’t want a sidekick who could backstab me at any moment by playing dirty, so—for your own good, rest in peace."

Xiao Ye’s voice was calm, but what he said,

crushed the flower-thief’s hope completely; cold dread crawled all over him.

The flower-thief stared at Xiao Ye’s friendly smile, feeling like he was staring at a demon!

Qingcheng froze, not expecting Xiao Ye was truly never going to let this guy go.

Ziran looked at Xiao Ye with hands behind his back and licked her lips.

*So much fun.*

*Really want to eat Xiao Ye up right now, drain him dry!*

"Whoosh!"

The flower-thief didn’t look back, trying to flee, slamming his head toward the ground to try and burrow down.

But with a deep, heavy bang, he didn’t manage to dive underground as hoped—instead, he smashed his head right into the ground, splitting it open and bleeding.

*The flower-thief saw spinning stars in his vision and felt totally woozy.*

"Pfft!" Jiang Xue’an laughed.

*She had long since locked the flower-thief in place with her mind—no way was she letting him get away.*

Xiao Ye watched the flower-thief, casually flicking a beam of energy that stopped his heart cold, instantly brushing the flower-thief of Venerable Realm right up against death.

Next, he activated the Rule Fragment Extraction function of the Template Adjuster.

[Enchanting Demon Attribute] [Earth Attribute], pick one.

Xiao Ye picked Enchanting Demon Attribute.

Vast and profound power descended, enveloping the flower-thief.

"Aaargh!!" "Ugh!!"

The flower-thief spasmed as if suffering the world’s worst torture, his face twisted, mouth constantly letting out screams of pain, but his eyes glared hatefully at Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye watched him with a faint smile, saying, "Don’t mess with me next time you get reincarnated."

In less than ten seconds, the flower-thief’s body turned to glimmering motes of light and floated away in the air.

Xiao Ye waved his hand, using the Destruction-type Talent Skill from the [Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Ancestor Template]: Ultimate Obliteration.

The rotten stench particles and light-mote atoms in the air were instantly annihilated, turned to nothingness.

[Venerable Realm human, successfully extracted three Enchanting Demon Attribute Rule Fragments]

Xiao Ye shrugged, looked to Ziran, and said with a grin,

"That was actually the first time I ever used that power on a human."

Ziran’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she leaned in, full of emotion, saying, "You little bastard, I find myself liking you more and more."

"What do I do if I want to eat you up right now?"

"!" Xiao Ye could clearly feel Ziran was burning up with fever.

"Can you hold it in?" His eye twitched.

Ziran grunted coquettishly, grabbing him and dragging him upstairs. "Hold your ass, I married you for exactly this."

"Qingcheng, Jiang Xue’an, you two don’t need to follow."

"See you tomorrow!"

Qingcheng and Jiang Xue’an stared at each other, wide-eyed and speechless.

Jiang Xue’an’s eyebrows furrowed, "Mistress, you still aren’t together with the lord yet? You guys don’t even, like, do the naughty stuff."

Qingcheng’s face flushed red, sighing, "Yeah, me and him are still just friends, really."

"I wish, but the relationship’s not there, all I can do is dream."

Jiang Xue’an chuckled, "Mistress, how about I knock out the lord, lay him on your bed? No way he’d know, and you could do whatever you want."

Qingcheng’s mouth twitched, "You really think I’m that desperate?"

Jiang Xue’an didn’t even hesitate, nodding, "Mistress, you’ve always been super desperate."

*Qingcheng’s face went dark—so, in her little maid’s eyes, she was just a sex-starved woman!*

"Thunk!" She snapped her fingers on Jiang Xue’an’s head and said irritably,

"That’s me in the future, not now."

"Right now, me and Xiao Ye aren’t together yet."

Jiang Xue’an clutched her head. "Oh."

"Mistress, I almost forgot, the you I saw twenty thousand years ago—that was the you who had come back from the future by time-shuttling."

"But Mistress, don’t worry."

"Xiaonannan will totally play matchmaker for Mistress and the lord, you guys are bound to end up together."

Her pretty face was glowing with excitement, giggling as she spoke.

Faced with her little maid, with whom she’d signed a master-servant contract, Qingcheng admitted, "Okay, from now on, you have to back me up—get Xiao Ye to fall for me."

Jiang Xue’an nodded, "Mistress, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do."

"But I think I’m not much of a maid, I never even gave the lord a bath or warmed his bed. I heard maids should also help their masters with their needs—whatever the lord wants, Xiaonannan can do."
