After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

Qifu.

Yu Sheng sat there until the next day.

He got up, straightened his robes, and walked towards the Qijun Palace.

Qi Jun was teasing a three-legged spirit bird in the courtyard when he saw Yu Sheng walk in.

He asked in surprise.

"What's up so early in the morning?"

Yu Sheng didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Young Master Qi, I had an old grudge against Ao Tianxin when I was in the lower realm."

Qi Jun paused in his hand as he teased the bird.

He turned his head to look at Yu Sheng, and the smile on his face faded.

"Was it because of her that you were targeted by Long Yuan before?"

Yu Sheng nodded: "Yes."

Qi Jun stared at him for a few moments.

Ao Tianxin, a member of the Yu clan who was suppressed by Longyuan, has old grudges from the lower realm.

With all these lines connected, how could he not understand?

No wonder the Third Young Master specifically asked me about it back then.

What kind of expression will my sister-in-law have after hearing about the Qi family?

Qi Jun's gaze turned cold.

"So what do you want to say to me now?"

Yu Sheng met his gaze and gritted his teeth.

He bent over, his voice strained.

"I hope Young Master Qi can introduce me to the Third Young Master."

Qi Jun was taken aback.

He was still thinking about how to handle this matter.

The best way is to kidnap the person yourself and send them over.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually took the initiative to go see the Third Young Master.

interesting.

He stared at Yu Sheng for a long time.

Yu Sheng kept his back bent, his posture extremely humble.

Qi Jun pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Let me make this clear from the start."

"I can introduce you, but if you have any improper thoughts, don't even mention Third Young Master, I'll be the first to not let you off the hook."

"As for your so-called old grudges, how the Third Young Master decides to deal with them is entirely up to him."

Yu Sheng did not stand up, but said in a low voice, "Your subordinate understands."

"Alright, just wait."

Qi Jun turned and went into the inner hall.

Yu Sheng slowly straightened up and stood in the courtyard, his eyes somewhat unfocused, lost in thought.

That afternoon, Qi Jun went to the Lin clan's territory.

Lin Chuzheng and Ao Tianxin were sitting in the main hall, drinking tea and chatting.

Ji Ning is not here; I don't know where she went.

Qi Jun was led in by a maid, and first greeted her with a smile as she called her sister-in-law.

Then he leaned closer to Lin Chu and said casually, "Third Young Master, there's something I need to ask you."

"explain."

"The Feather Saint wishes to see you."

Lin Chu raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Ao Tianxin.

Ao Tianxin was also somewhat surprised.

"We haven't even gone to him yet, but he's already delivered himself to us."

Where are they?

"Just wait outside."

She thought that, given Yu Sheng's personality, he would at least wait until he could no longer hide before showing himself.

"This is somewhat unexpected," Ao Tianxin said, putting down her teacup.

Lin Chu became interested: "Let's meet him."

Having received confirmation, Qi Jun turned and left.

A moment later, Qi Jun led Yu Sheng in from outside the hall.

Yu Sheng's face was very pale.

On the way from the Qi family to the Lin clan's territory, he thought about turning back more than once.

But in the end, they still came in.

Upon entering the main hall, he looked up at Lin Chu at the head of the table, and then at Ao Tianxin sitting beside him.

He then bent his knees and knelt down on one knee.

"Yu Sheng greets the Third Young Master."

Upon seeing this, Qi Jun cupped his hands in greeting to Lin Chu, then turned and left.

Lin Chu did not speak.

He simply rested his chin on one hand and slowly surveyed the people kneeling below.

Back then in the Demon Realm, he was the high and mighty domain lord who stirred up the winds and clouds with his own hands.

Now he was kneeling before him, his face pale and his breathing unsteady.

"Speak."

Yu Sheng lowered his head.

"I offended many people when I was in the Xuan Tian Realm."

"I have come here today not to beg for mercy, but to beg for a way to live."

"I am willing to pledge my soul to you, Third Young Master, and become your soul slave."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chu smiled slightly.

He leaned forward slightly.

"You're a smart person too."

"Even a random sword attendant by my side is a true immortal."

"Not to mention Cang Yao, Ruo Shui, Cai Wei, and the others, aren't they all stronger than you?"

"What makes you think I need your submission?"

Yu Sheng's body stiffened slightly.

She slowly raised her head to meet Lin Chu's gaze.

"Young Master is right. In terms of combat skills, I am indeed inferior to anyone around you."

"But within my bloodline, in the dormant memories of my lineage, lies a secret technique, intertwined with my blood."

"In terms of concealment, stealth, and speed, even among cultivators who are two major realms above me, there are very few who can surpass me."

"I can take care of some dirty work for you when you're not available to do it yourself."

"Moreover, my memories of heritage have been continuously reawakening over the years."

"There will be more and more new things."

He paused, then lowered his voice.

"Therefore, I am more useful alive than dead."

Lin Chu did not speak immediately.

Yu Sheng remained kneeling.

Lin Chu looked at him, recalling her past in the Xuan Tian Realm.

Come to think of it, he had never really suffered a major loss at the hands of the Feather Saint.

In fact, the fact that his plan ultimately succeeded was partly due to Yu Sheng's behind-the-scenes support.

Lin Chu turned her head to look at Ao Tianxin.

Ao Tianxin remained silent throughout.

Seeing him looking over, she nodded slightly.

Having known Yu Sheng for hundreds of years, she understood him all too well.

This man certainly has the bearing of a ruthless leader.

Ruthless enough, patient enough, and pragmatic enough.

Even under the relentless pursuit of Longyuan, it could withstand the attacks for hundreds of years without collapsing.

If it weren't for Lin Chu's appearance, he might have actually turned his life around one day, having already established himself in Tianlan City.

This kind of person, if used well, can be a good knife.

If used improperly, it may also harm oneself.

But given Lin Chu's current status, is she really afraid of him turning against her?

Lin Chu withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

Get up.

Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng suddenly looked up.

"Hand over your soul."

"Also, don't call me a soul slave anymore, it doesn't sound right to me."

"From now on, we'll call him Soul Guard."

Yu Sheng was stunned.

Soul Guards and Soul Slaves differ by only one word, yet they are worlds apart.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just lowered his head deeply.

"Yes, Master."

The next moment, a wisp of pale golden divine soul overflowed from between Yu Sheng's brows.

As soon as his soul left his body, his face turned deathly pale, and he swayed.

Lin Chu raised her hand and took the wisp of divine soul into her palm.

The moment he got his hands on it, a strange connection was established in his heart.

He could clearly sense that if he had just one thought, Yu Sheng would be completely annihilated.

Life and death are just a matter of a single thought for him.

Lin Chu glanced at him and tossed him a jade bottle.

"Go back and heal your wounds first."

"Stay at the Qi family's place for now. I'll call you if anything comes up."

Yu Sheng caught the jade bottle and responded in a low voice.

"Yes, Master."

He stood up, his steps unsteady, and turned to walk outside.

Lin Chu gazed in the direction he had left.

"The way you address someone as 'master' sounds really awkward."

Ao Tianxin rolled her eyes at him.

"I never imagined that one day I would see the once arrogant Lord of the Myriad Demon Domain kneeling here and calling him Master."

"This world is truly unpredictable."
