"You guys came to kill my disciple?" Ling Xi asked them using her Qi.
Their hearts jolted upon hearing it; even more so, they felt that Ling Xi's voice penetrated their souls. 'Her disciple? The mixed breed have a master as strong as her?'
Both of them were in shock in their hearts, and they broke out in cold sweat thinking that there was only one thing waiting for them, death!
"Why do you want to kill my disciple?" Ling Xi asked again, and once again their hearts jolted violently, but they still didn't say anything due to extreme shock.
They didn't even have time to blink; Ling Xi was already standing right in front of them. 'So Fast!'
Ling Xi then stretched out her hand and touched Shui Mu's head as she said. "Since you guys don't want to tell me anything, I'll find the answer myself."
"Argh!" Shui Mu screamed in pain as soon as Ling Xi used her technique, and Shui Lan was horrified to hear her brother scream like that.
In just a few seconds, Ling Xi got the answer she wanted; she immediately crippled Shui Mu's cultivation, and she then moved to seal Shui Lan's cultivation. "So my hunch was correct, you guys are indeed from the Shui Clan."
Shui Mu could only helplessly stare at Ling Xi; he had cultivated for so long that his cultivation had already reached the Peak Core Realm. But now, in the blink of an eye, all his efforts for years have been simply crushed by a little girl.
And it all happened just because of a task that should have been so easy, but they never expected that there would be such a powerful cultivator protecting their target. Moreover, her cultivation seemed to be far above their patriarch.
"What information did you get from him, Ling Xi?" Ling Yun asked curiously, and she immediately shared Shui Mu's memories with him. Before long, he frowned after digesting all the memories, and he immediately took out his sword. "Tsk, I didn't expect your clan to be so rotten; you guys even want to kill Ye Jing just because she's a mixed breed from your clan. Since you tried to kill one of my closest people, don't blame me for killing you."
Shui Lan immediately closed her eyes as soon as she saw Ling Yun swing his sword; she didn't want to witness her brother's death. Her heart was filled with great fear, and she was sure that he would also kill her later.
*Splurt*
Blood instantly spurted from Shui Mu's neck as soon as his head separated from his body. Ling Xi waved her hands, covering them with Qi to keep his blood from splashing on their clothes, and then she burned his corpse.
On the other hand, Shui Lan was frightened when she felt her brother's blood on her body, but she was even more frightened when she heard their next conversation.
"So why don't you want to kill this woman, Ling Xi?"
"Hey, why should we kill him? Although his physique isn't as good as Ling Xiya's, he will be very useful as your cultivation furnace."
Being a slave and a cultivation furnace for other cultivators was a terrible punishment compared to death, and she wanted to commit suicide to avoid that. Unfortunately, Ling Xi restricted her with her aura, and she had also sealed her cultivation, so she couldn't do it.
"Well, that's good." Ling Yun nodded in agreement.
Ling Xi then touched Shui Lan's chest, and she instilled the slave mark onto her like the one she had given Kate, Yun Mingyue, and Ling Xiya.
Shui Lan's face became deathly pale as she sensed something embedded in her soul, and she knew for a fact that it was a slave mark, but she could only resign herself to accept her fate.
After she finished instilling a slave mark into Shui Lan's soul, Ling Xi immediately released the seal on her cultivation and withdrew her hand from her bosom right after. "She is your slave now, and she is still a virgin."
Although her cultivation base had returned, Shui Lan did not run away from them, as it was already impossible for her to escape.
Ling Yun just laughed at that. He then opened a portal to the Dual Cultivation Chamber, and Ye Jing immediately came out of it, but she was surprised when she saw Shui Lan and asked. "Who is this woman, Yun?"
"Sigh, her name is Shui Lan, and she came here to kill you." Ling Yun chose to tell Ye Jing the truth; he hoped that she could be careful in the future because he couldn't stay by her side forever.
Hearing that, Ye Jing screamed in shock. "What!? Why... why did she want to kill me? I don't even know her."
"For that matter, we should talk to Uncle Ye first, because this matter has something to do with him."
"I see." Ye Jing nodded in understanding. "Then what are you going to do with her?"
"She is my prisoner now, so she wouldn't dare try to kill you anymore."
"A prisoner?" Ye Jing was dumbfounded at Ling Yun's answer.
Ling Yun nodded to her. "En, I still need her to do something for me. Anyway, it's getting late, so I'll take you home now, and we'll meet again tomorrow on campus."
"Alright." Ye Jing nodded in agreement.
After that, they walked casually towards Ye House while talking about cultivation, and Shui Lan followed behind them without saying anything, but she felt heavy in her heart knowing the fate that awaited her. 'Sigh, I didn't expect things to end like this; it should be so easy to kill this girl, but the existence of that little girl changed everything. Shui Mu is now dead, and I have also become this man's slave.'
A few minutes later, they had already arrived in front of Ye House, but Ye Jing did not immediately walk into it, and she looked at Ling Yun with a pounding heart. 'What should I do? I really want to be his woman, but I'm afraid he will reject me a second time, especially since he already has Yin now.'
"Why are you looking at me like this, Jing? You better get inside quickly."
Hearing that, Ye Jing clenched her fists tightly and took a deep breath after making up her mind. She then moved closer to Ling Yun and stood on tiptoe to kiss his lips for a moment. After that, she ran into the house with a red face; she felt embarrassed for doing something like that.
Ling Yun was utterly shocked by her actions; he didn't expect that Ye Jing would be so bold as to kiss him, but then he shook his head and left Ye House.
Meanwhile, Hua Yue saw Ye Jing's action from behind the window, and it made her very angry and envious of her twin sister. "Bitch! I knew she was lying to me! She must be afraid that I would take Yun from her!"
