Chapter 445 - 445 0313 The Right Thing_2

Chapter 445: Chapter 0313: The Right Thing_2 Chapter 445: Chapter 0313: The Right Thing_2 Qi Tian shook his head with a smile, saying, “He’s just playing you. I doubt he even possesses a shred of sincerity towards you. Most likely, he’s using you. If he truly cared about you, why would he let you risk your life to protect another woman?”

The fake Huang Liuyan looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with firmness and resolution, angrily retorting, “What do you, a little brat, understand about adult matters? If you want to kill me, then get on with it. Or do you have some perverse pleasure in humiliating her before taking a life?”

Qi Tian did not get angry. He simply replied, “What if I can offer you better conditions than Cheng Daoran, would you pledge your loyalty to me?”

“Are you joking? You’re just a snot-nosed kid, how can you possibly offer better conditions than Cheng Daoran? Oh, have you grown up and want to taste a woman? Are you suggesting I become your legal wife?” The fake Huang Liuyan spoke boldly, her gaze brazenly sliding down to Qi Tian’s crotch.

Qi Tian immediately shifted his body, dodging the fake Huang Liuyan’s shameless gaze. He said, “I understand that my words alone might not convince you. But I am willing to give you a chance to see something. However, you need to think carefully because after seeing this, you will only have two choices: One, swear allegiance to me – I will admittedly have to use some methods on you. Two, death. Once you reject me, I will not give you any more chances.”

The fake Huang Liuyan scoffed, “If I don’t want to see, you will still kill me. Do you think you can let me go?”

Qi Tian awkwardly rubbed his nose. Indeed, he could not let the fake Huang Liuyan go today under any circumstances.

The fake Huang Liuyan said, “Alright, it’s a chance of survival at least. I’m curious what you can offer?” Who would choose death if they could live? Especially for a female cultivator like the fake Huang Liuyan, who could potentially advance to Gold Core stage – the allure of a long life and a beautiful, young body were things they could not bear to abandon.

The fake Huang Liuyan was seriously injured. Qi Tian could kill her at any time, so he wasn’t afraid of any tricks she could play. Qi Tian chose not to kill the fake Huang Liuyan, not only because she was beautiful, but also because he sympathized with his situation in Wanjie City and intended to support a representative there. He needed someone to handle arrangements for him in the city. One person striving in and out of Wanjie City was terribly inefficient. Plus, he had many restrictions when carrying out his tasks. The fake Huang Liuyan, a local who had lived in Wanjie City for many years, was far more convenient.

“Wide open your eyes and have a good look.” Qi Tian flipped his wrist, and a pill appeared in the palm of his hand. This pill was sparkling, with Dan patterns flashing across its surface.

“A Pseudo-True Pill?” The fake Huang Liuyan immediately recognized it.

“Correct, this is a Pseudo-True Pill.” Qi Tian had killed so many Half-step Golden Core cultivators that he had forgotten from whom he got this pill. “I believe you know the effects of the Pseudo-True Pill. Once it is taken, a Half-step Golden Core has more than a 70% chance of successfully advancing to the Pseudo Core Realm, possessing the strength and lifespan of a Gold Core First Level cultivator. As a Half-step Nascent Soul, Cheng Daoran should have left one for you, shouldn’t he?”

The fake Huang Liuyan’s expression darkened. Cheng Daoran indeed had a Pseudo-True Pill, which she had once seen, and even subtly asked Cheng Daoran for it. Yet, he rudely refused her. Although Cheng Daoran claimed to be confident in her advancement to the Gold Core stage and would assist her wholeheartedly, the fake Huang Liuyan knew these were all lies – he was merely deceiving her. But what could she do about it?

Qi Tian understood the situation of the fake Huang Liuyan instantly. He heard plenty about such people in his previous life. Innocent girls get fooled and lied to. In the end, they lose everything – money, body – and gain nothing, leaving them destitute.

Qi Tian tossed the Pseudo-True Pill to the fake Huang Liuyan with a wave of his hand, saying, “It’s a gift for you. But it’s not for free. Having accepted my Pseudo-True Pill, you will have to be loyal to me.”

The fake Huang Liuyan stared at the top-grade Pseudo-True Pill, her face a complex blend of emotions. But soon, a firm resolve flashed in her eyes. She picked up the Pseudo-True Pill and managed to get up, before kneeling down in front of Qi Tian. “As Wang Na, I pledge my loyalty to my master. From today onward, everything I am belongs to my master. If my master dictates that I live, I will live, and if I die, so be it. If I break this oath, may I burn from the inside out.”

Qi Tian nodded his head; he pointed a finger at the fake Huang Liuyan’s forehead, and immediately, a drop of Essence Blood flew out from her brow. Qi Tian took out a jade box, kept the Essence Blood, and said, “If you can prove your loyalty to me, not only will I return this drop of Essence Blood to you, perhaps I will also give you resources that will actually allow you to advance to the Gold Core Stage. But if you deceive me and with this Essence Blood in my possession, rest assured that I have ten thousand ways to punish you. Don’t blame me for being unmerciful.”

The fake Huang Liuyan Wang Na quickly prostrated herself in front of Qi Tian and said, “The oath I have taken is from my heart, and I would not dare to violate it even in thousand of lifetimes.”

Qi Tian finally nodded with satisfaction. He handed a healing pill to Wang Na and said, “Take this first and heal your injuries. I have something else I need to entrust to you later.”

Wang Na swallowed down the healing pill without any hesitation. What Qi Tian had given her was, of course, a good product. Soon, her injuries which had brought her to the brink of death, was significantly alleviated. However, the rest of the healing would require one or two more days. Her injuries were too severe, and there was no other way. Given that Qi Tian handed out even better pills, Wang Na could have been restored to full health. However, the healing pills he currently had were limited to this level. He did not have any better ones.

Even so, Wang Na was quite content. Despite having a slight suspicion that Qi Tian might insert a worm parasite into her body with the pill, she did not have a single moment of hesitation. This was the most common method in the Cultivation World to control others, so it wouldn’t be strange if Qi Tian used it. Yet, as it happened, what he gave her was a pure healing pill. This made Wang Na both bitter and grateful. She may have truly found a master who wouldn’t easily penalize his subordinates.

Wang Na stood up and bowed to Qi Tian, saying, “Thank you, master, for the medicine. I am feeling much better. Master, this place is sealed off by an array, cutting off inside and outside communication. Is there anything you need from me?”

Qi Tian quickly waved his hand upon hearing her words. He wasn’t the type to hop into bed with a beautiful woman at the first opportunity, especially given his younger physical age and the fact that losing his virginity would not necessarily be beneficial at this time. He said, “Keep such matters to yourself in my presence. Wang Na, I have kept you alive because there are a few things that I need you to handle.”

Wang Na hastened to say, “Master, please give your instructions.”

Qi Tian raised two fingers as he spoke, “Firstly, before we leave this secret realm, your primary task is to protect Huang Liuyan. Huang Liuyan can be considered as my sister, and I don’t want anything to happen to her. Secondly, once we leave the secret realm, I’ll contact you and give you another mission. Of course, even after leaving the secret realm, you need to deceive Cheng Daoran and report any of his movements to me.”

Wang Na nodded her head; she won’t compete for Qi Tian’s favor with Huang Liuyan. She knew she wasn’t in the position to do so, which was determined by various factors. Whether Qi Tian and Huang Liuyan had the kind of relationship she imagined, she wasn’t going to care; whatever the master ordered, she will execute without question.

Qi Tian was quite satisfied with Wang Na’s attitude. He felt that he had made an extremely correct decision to keep Wang Na alive instead of killing her.
