Chapter 1240: Chapter 1260: She is just my boss, not my wife! _1

"Ghost Tower."

Qi replied calmly, "You, as of now, should not worry about who I am, but rather, about how to keep yourself alive."

The man revealed a brilliant smile, "You won’t kill me, at least, not now."

Qi coldly said, "So assured, are you?"

The man laughed, "The boundary gate has been sealed off by our people. All of your relentless efforts to catch me only means you want to control me and then exploit me to infiltrate the Immortal Realm, right?"

Qi nodded calmly, "You’re rather smart. If you want to live, submit your True Soul and sign the contract, otherwise, you’re of no value."

Without a word, the man easily agreed, "Okay, who am I signing with, you or her?"

Qi replied indifferently, "I am just an Artifact Spirit, naturally, you’ll sign with her."

"Alright!"

Without wasting any time, the man pulled out his True Soul and handed it to Xuanji Fairy.

With her eyes wide open and teeth clenched, Xuanji Fairy wanted to say something, but in the end, she simply huffed in response. She accepted the man’s True Soul, and signed the Master-Servant Contract. From then on, the man’s life was in Xuanji Fairy’s hands.

Seeing this, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With the addition of such a powerful immortal under their command, their once overwhelming task became comparatively simpler.

Xuanji Fairy stared at the man and sneered, "You were so arrogant before, so why did you surrender so quickly?"

Qi dispersed the mountain peak and the man struggled to get up. He sat cross-legged, covered in blood, looking quite disheveled.

"Arrogance is my nature. I was arrogant towards you because Weijiao had given me benefits. She was essentially my boss then. You were her rival, so isn’t it natural for me to act against you?"

"I fought my best and lost, it’s not my fault. I did my best which was all Weijiao could expect. Just because she gave me so many benefits, doesn’t mean I’d give her my life too. She’s just my boss, not my wife."

"Since I’ve lost anyway, why should I remain stubborn and suffer uselessly? Now, to survive, I’ll work for you. You’re my boss now, so naturally, I’ll follow your orders and not be arrogant towards you. But if it were to someone else, I would still be as arrogant..."

The man’s straightforward speech left Xuanji Fairy momentarily speechless.

What a piece of work!

Lin Chen, on the side, chuckled to himself. This is just a typical employee, isn’t it?

If you give me benefits, I’ll work hard for you. But that’s it. If you think I would risk my life for you, it’s absolutely impossible!

Coward?

Not really, it’s just that he sees life very clearly.

The man laughed, "If we weren’t in the Barren Wilderness, you probably wouldn’t have been able to capture me. After all, my strength is not low. Here, it’s significantly stifled, many of my abilities are not usable."

"Weijiao only gave me benefits and didn’t make me sign any contract. But now, to survive, I don’t have any choice but to sign a contract with you. From now on, I have to follow your orders, but it’s okay since you’re the Daughter of the Domain Lord. Your status is noble, so I won’t be at a loss."

"I’m actually quite capable. You’ll see, boss. I’ll accomplish great things for you. I don’t have any other demands, I just hope that once I help you defeat Weijiao and take vengeance, in light of my meritorious deeds, you can spare my life."

Xuanji Fairy sneered, "That depends on how competent you are and how much merit you can gain. Bragging alone won’t get you anywhere!"

The man laughed, "In that case, let me start by proving myself. I have two more partners who came with me. After I recover from my injuries and we return, we can catch those two as well, and take them under our control."

"At that time, we can pretend we’ve captured you and directly escort you back to the Immortal Realm. Once we pass through the boundary gate and considering your status as the Domain Lord’s Daughter, wouldn’t we have powerful assistance at your command?"

"Even though Weijiao currently has a lot of influence and many powerhouses by her side, you can’t possibly lose to her, right? A slight manipulation and taking her down shouldn’t be an issue."

Watching the man eagerly thinking up plans for Xuanji Fairy, Lin Chen couldn’t help but find it amusing. This guy has no hesitation in turning against Weijiao at all.

Such a profit-driven employee!

Although it’s hard to comment on his character, there’s no denying that his plan is sound - quite reliable, in fact.

In the end, Xuanji Fairy is the Domain Lord’s Daughter, supremely majestic. Even though the Domain Lord has been away for five hundred years, but he is not dead - who would dare not give face to Xuanji?

After some consideration, Xuanji Fairy also found the plan to be feasible.

"Alright, let’s do as you say!"

With Xuanji’s straightforward agreement, given that this plan has a ticking time limit, if the two immortals suspected something and reported it to Weijiao in the Immortal Realm, then along with these three immortals, everyone would be trapped in the Barrens.

"Lin Chen, you heal him. Once he is recovered, we act immediately. Give me a few of your magical treasures for now. Oh, and, what’s your name?"
