Chapter 912: Chapter 446: Dragon Level Maidservant, Simply a Windfall!

The afternoon sun filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting warm patches on the luxurious Persian carpet.

It was a mild winter day, perfect for a trip to the countryside!

But at this moment, Xia Qila felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. Beyond the spasms of pain, fear overwhelmed her, like being pressed against the executioner’s block at high noon, the guillotine above ready to drop at any moment, or like walking a tightrope high above a cliff, already losing balance, about to fall the next second.

Xia Qila did not fear death, but she could not control the reactions of her mind and body. Sweat poured out like syrup, drenching her clothes in an instant.

It was the desire for survival, the fear of death, etched into the DNA of humans.

For a moment, Xia Qila instinctively wanted to flee the villa and never see Lin Baici again, but after a few seconds, she forced herself to calm down.

"So this is the reason?"

Xia Qila took a deep breath to steady her emotions.

Lin Baici looked at his right hand, feeling a curious sensation as if he were holding something in his palm—yet there was nothing there. Still, he could sense clearly that it was a beating heart.

Moist and warm, vibrant with life!

Just like holding a ball of fire!

It was beating, the pulsing of life, but now, this pulsation was in Lin Baici’s hands; should he wish, a mere tightening of his fingers, a gentle squeeze, would be enough to crush it.

Was this what it felt like to hold another’s life in your hands?

Lin Baici glanced over at Xia Qila. He didn’t actually want to do anything, but seeing the North America Yellowstone Group Leader’s composed face, ignoring life and death, for some reason, a strong irritation surged within him.

He felt offended!

Those who couldn’t decide their own fate did not deserve to stay calm and composed, to sit back as if nothing mattered, so Lin Baici tightened his grip.

"Ah..."

Xia Qila let out a shriek, but with a strong will, she immediately suppressed it, making the cry short and low, seemingly not as painful and unbearable, but it was a different story physically.

The renowned Xia Qila, her body trembling, pain nearly causing her to lose control.

"Sorry!"

Lin Baici quickly released his hand: "This is my first time activating this Divine Grace; I didn’t know how much force to use!"

Xia Qila did not speak, turning her head to look at Lin Baici.

People like Gu Qingqiu, being newcomers, were not familiar with many of the basics of the God Hunter Circle, and therefore didn’t understand Xia Qila’s status. Seeing her reaction, they were just curious about what Lin Baici had done.

But Li Yintong was utterly shocked.

"Damn!"

Tai Mei exclaimed; Lin Baici seemed to have gotten control over the Great Shaman through some Divine Grace!

Dragon Level maid,

absolutely hit the jackpot!

Li Yintong assessed Xia Qila, a bit old, but still useful.

"Don’t misunderstand, the shackle on your heart was placed by the Busan Divine Being; it wanted you as its maid." Lin Baici explained: "After killing it and absorbing its Divine Grace, I accidentally gained control over that shackle!"

"What do you want?"

Xia Qila countered: "To have me as your maid?"

Whoosh!

Everyone turned to Lin Baici, an obviously difficult question to answer. Xia Hongyao, Kim Myungjin, and even Tai Mei were prepared for a fight.

Only Gu Qingqiu was entirely at ease, picking up her tea and taking a sip.

She believed that with Lin Baici’s wisdom, he would surely resolve the issue perfectly.

"Yes!"

Lin Baici admitted it.

"Pfft!"

Gu Qingqiu sprayed out her tea, staring at Lin Baici in astonishment.

What happened to his wisdom?

Didn’t he know that such big shots value their pride most? How can there be any negotiation when he starts off so forcefully?

Li Yintong clenched her butterfly knife, her body trembling, feeling ecstatic!

Damn it all!

Brother Lin, aren’t you a bit too domineering?

Loved it! Loved it!

Li Yintong, who grew up watching gangster movies, adored this kind of arrogant and assertive man!

Unexpectedly, Xia Qila didn’t explode, she just pointed at Lin Baici’s face: "Continue!"

"You’re so powerful and famous and even beautiful. Would you believe me if I said I had no ulterior motives?"

Lin Baici retorted.

"Heh!"

Xia Qila laughed softly, not clearly agreeing or disagreeing.

"But money, status, women, I lack none of these. Even in terms of power, as the one who killed the Busan Divine Being, I’m qualified to sit here and have a straightforward talk with you, right?"

Lin Baici asked again.

"More than qualified!"

Xia Qila acknowledged: "It was I who overestimated myself!"

"Most importantly, I’m young enough. Youth means endless possibilities. I think that by the time I reach your age, there won’t be many things left that I could possibly want!"

Lin Baici was full of confidence as he spoke those words.

It wasn’t arrogance, but the self-assurance that came from the achievements of his half-year debut.

"For what you have achieved, you are indeed quite restrained!"

Xia Qila commended him; she had looked up Lin Baici’s background through the Illumination Hermit Association as soon as she emerged from God’s ruins yesterday. Frankly, she too was impressed after reading it.

If she were still a young girl, even if Lin Baici were from the Nine States, she would have admired and been smitten with him for a while.

"So, I want to collaborate with you. When I need a companion, I’d like the Great Shaman to stand beside me in battle."

Lin Baici put it delicately when in fact, he meant that he wanted Xia Qila to step in when he faced a significant problem.
