Douluo Continent: The Second Young Master of the Spirit Hall, who became a god through reading.

Chapter 48: Cats' Freedom as a Bargaining Chip for Peace (Seeking Recommendations)

After listening to her story, Qian Yucheng nodded, then shook his head.

"If you don't want to fight for that position, then you're just showing weakness. Your sister is smarter than you!"

"Knowing she had no way out, she tried everything to kill you!"

"This gave her victory, and thus the right to live!"

Even if you're her own sister, driven by her survival instinct, she'll abandon you!

Zhu Lingyun knew he was telling the truth, and sighed:

"The Zhu family's actions are utterly cold-blooded!"

"I left the Zhu family and the Star Luo Empire all for her sake!"

"But she was plotting to kill me..."

Upon hearing such a wise remark, Qian Yucheng was truly speechless.

"Miss Zhu, only your sister can truly find peace when you are dead!"

"Only the dead pose no threat!"

Shi Qingxuan, standing to the side, scoffed, "Hmph, I think she's all looks and no brains!"

Following her gaze, Qian Yucheng saw that the slender branches bore abundant fruit, and the leaves were lush and juicy.

Zhu Lingyun felt his gaze and blushed slightly.

"But...she's my own sister, I can't bear to hurt her!"

"I left the Zhu family because I wanted to escape this place of trouble."

"So, according to you, I still need to control the conversation!"

She still couldn't bring herself to harm her own sister.

Seeing her like this, Qian Yucheng subconsciously compared her to Qian Xunji.

Indeed, the differences between people are enormous.

He was extremely jealous of his elder brother and repeatedly tried to sabotage him in secret, hoping to make him die without an heir!

How vicious!

Unfortunately, in the end, I was still one step ahead and successfully turned the tide!

"You think these two Soul Master kittens beside you can stop the assassins your sister sent?"

Qian Yucheng shook his head. Strength is the foundation for upholding justice!

Zhu Lingyun was taken aback, and then her eyes dimmed.

Yes, I left in such a hurry, how could I possibly compete with my own sister?

No, as she looked at Qian Yucheng's smiling face, she knew what he meant.

"Can...you help me?" she asked tentatively.

"That's true, but you don't seem to be of equal value to me, so I can't help you!"

Qian Yucheng's tone contained a mixture of confidence and regret.

Shi Qingxuan secretly despised him as she watched his gaze subtly scan Zhu Lingyun.

"Pah, disgusting man!"

Although she is young, she is quite knowledgeable.

But to be fair, this kind of man is also the easiest to control; beauty can completely control him!

Zhu Lingyun thought about it and realized that she really didn't deserve this mysterious man's help.

"I……"

She then noticed that the other person was still looking at her with a smile on their face.

His eyes were filled with admiration!

I saw this scene when I was a child. It seemed to be my father looking at my mother with that kind of gaze!

However, since the awakening of the martial soul, such a wonderful thing seems to have been gone forever.

"I am the bargaining chip; I offer my freedom in exchange for your help!"

She gritted her teeth and uttered this idea that Shi Qingxuan found unbelievable.

"Has this woman gone mad?"

"It's like lambs to the slaughter; they'll be devoured!"

They were clearly waiting for that line, and this foolish woman actually thought she was a bargaining chip?!

"In that case, from this moment on, you belong to me!"

Qian Yucheng smiled and said, then looked at Shi Qingxuan.

"Little girl, let's pretend we were never here tonight!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the five people on the other side disappeared.

When Shi Qingxuan opened her eyes again, she found herself on an unfamiliar riverbank, far from that small town.

"Damn it, what kind of ability is this?!"

She looked at her four subordinates and carefully checked them over; they were all simply unconscious.

"Who are you? I'll definitely find out who you are!"

She then revealed her martial spirit, a golden sandalwood incense stick.

"Second Soul Skill - Refreshing Fragrance!"

Subsequently, all four female subordinates woke up.

"Captain, what's going on here...?"

"Alright, this mission failed. Refund half of the commission to the employer!"

After saying that, she walked downstream.

The scene shifts to Qian Yucheng, who is smiling at Zhu Lingyun.

Her shy and adorable appearance is truly captivating.

However, now is not the time to pet cats.

He needed to make the kitten completely submit to him; Qian valued persuasion through reason above all else.

Eating a forced melon dipped in sugar isn't bad, though.

But what he likes is the fragrance of flowers attracting butterflies, a mutually agreeable and satisfying experience!

"Let me introduce myself. I am Qian Yucheng, the second young master of the Spirit Hall!"

After saying this, he glanced at the two cat maids lying on the ground.

Tsk, they're twins!

This state of being possessed by a martial spirit is truly full of strange allure.

He stretched out his right hand, and two golden streams of soul power flew out and landed on them.

"Mmm..."

Their first words upon waking revealed their loyalty.

"Oh no, Miss!"

The two stood up and hurriedly looked towards where Zhu Lingyun was.

Seeing that the other person was alright, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Qian Yucheng beside him, he revealed his fangs and claws.

"Who are you? How did you get into this room?!"

Qian Yucheng smiled as he looked at Zhu Lingyun, wanting to hear what she would say.

"Zi Ling, Yu Ling, this is Young Master Qian, you mustn't be rude!"

"If Young Master Qian hadn't driven away the assassins, I would have been killed long ago!"

Zhu Lingyun hurriedly scolded the two of them.

Hearing her words, the two maids realized they were in a hurry.

"This man saved the young lady," they said simultaneously.

"My sister and I will forever remember Young Master Qian's kindness in saving our young lady!"

Qian Yucheng waved his hand, "It's nothing, you can rest assured, I'm in the room next to yours!"

He turned around and disappeared from the room.

The three women in the room exchanged bewildered glances. Even the royal retainers of the Star Luo Empire might not possess such power!

This person's strength is at least that of a Title Douluo!

"Title Douluo, my choice was definitely right!"

"Now that I've seized the opportunity, I must cherish this hard-won chance!"

"Freedom in exchange, and the price is enormous, but with the protection of a Title Douluo, it's worth it!"

After some thought, Zhu Lingyun concluded that tonight's events were ultimately worthwhile!

She looked at the two maids with a serious expression. "That's a mysterious and powerful person. We need his help with the assassination attempt later!"

"And besides, my dear sister will definitely not let us off the hook!"

"That man is the second young master of the Spirit Hall; following him won't be a bad thing!"

Zi Ling hurriedly said, "Miss, isn't this decision a bit hasty? Tonight's events were an accident. If my sister and I use our Martial Soul Fusion Technique, those five people are no match for us!"

Yu Ling chimed in, "Miss, we promise this won't happen again!"

The Spirit Hall did not have a very good reputation within the Star Luo Empire.

They certainly wouldn't watch their young mistress step into a deep pit and approach danger!

"No, we can no longer afford to take chances!"

"What if she sends out a Soul Saint? The three of us combined won't be able to handle it!"

"And my inability to fight for extended periods is even more fatal!"

"You two don't need to say anything. Just address each other as 'Sir' when you see each other tomorrow!"

Zhu Lingyun now understood that only the second young master of the Spirit Hall could help her out of her predicament!

The other person exuded confidence that was unmatched by ordinary people!

How to put it? To sum it up in one sentence:

Holding the sun and the moon and picking the stars, there is no one like me in the world!
