I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Seeing Yalin'er's agitation, Xu Xingyu quickly stopped her from kneeling, saying, "Being a slave is fine! My request isn't that extreme!!!"

You have to understand that he already has enough women around him, and he can only accept one more at most, but that position has theoretically already been reserved by someone else, and everyone else has long accepted this attitude.

Therefore, if another person from who-knows-where joins the group, the appearance of the woodcutter will become inevitable. So, we should wait and see what happens next before making any decisions beyond what is planned, and refuse any requests that can be explicitly refused.

"Xingyu?" Yalin'er asked, looking at Xu Xingyu with some confusion.

"Cough cough, I'm fine." Xu Xingyu took a breath and said, "My request is less of a request and more of a necessary condition for lifting your father's seal. That is, from now on, you and your father will work for me."

"Huh?" Ya Lin'er's mind went blank for a moment. Did she and her father have to become each other's servants? It wouldn't be impossible if it were Xu Xingyu, but she felt a little sorry for her father.

Xu Xingyu could tell from Ya Lin'er's expression that she was probably thinking in the wrong direction, so before she continued to overthink, Xu Xingyu began to explain what his method was.

Simply put, it means that the Ancestor of Earth Dragons and Yalin'er will inherit the divine positions of the Mountain Dragon King and the Time Dragon King, respectively.

In this way, the Ancestor of Earth Dragons can use the Mountain Dragon King's unique Mountain Transformation Technique to slowly transform his physical body, which had merged with the mountain, back to its original state. During this process, Yalin'er can use the power of the Time Dragon King to accelerate the process.

Once the Earth Dragon Ancestor's body returns to the state it was just sealed away, Yalin'er can once again hunt the Demon Soldier Mad Knife Fish to obtain its essence blood, thus breaking the seal on the Earth Dragon Ancestor and restoring its freedom.

However, since this would cause Xu Xingyu to lose the two Dragon King positions he held, Xu Xingyu needed the loyalty of Ya Lin'er and the Ancestor of the Earth Dragons. He did not require both of them to be marked with the dragon seal symbolizing servants, but at least one of them had to have it.

As his subordinate, Xu Xingyu didn't ask for much. He had to be obedient when he needed to be, and help fight when he needed to (excluding situations where he was sent to his death). At the same time, one of them had to be the guardian of the Dragon Valley Small World.

Of course, in order to let Yalin'er know the difficulties and risks involved, he also explained the fact that he did not come from the Five Elements Plane, and that the two of them actually existed about 10,000 years apart.

After hearing Xu Xingyu's conditions, Ya Lin'er fell silent. Seeing this, Xu Xingyu said, "I know this choice is difficult, so you don't need to give me an immediate reply."

However, Yalin'er shook her head and said, "No, I already have the answer. What you said did shock me, but it also explains my previous questions about you and Qiu'er."

"But this is not important to me, or rather, it has strengthened my resolve. I am willing to accept your proposal and to be imprinted with your dragon seal."

When Yalin'er said those words, her eyes were filled with clarity and determination. Xu Xingyu knew that the girl in front of her really thought that way. However, what puzzled Xu Xingyu was why she was so decisive.

Was it simply to rescue her father? It seems like she had other motives. However, it's clear that she genuinely believed that having someone as her subordinate was not a problem.

Xu Xingyu's feeling was not wrong to some extent, because Ya Lin'er did have thoughts other than rescuing her father. Simply put, she really enjoyed the time she spent with Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi.

In the past, she didn't have many people she could call friends. Now that she has come to this unfamiliar era, apart from her long-lost father, she only has Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi as people she can trust.

Perhaps it was a woman's intuition or something, but from the details revealed in Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi's past conversations, Ya Lin'er always had a feeling that the two of them would disappear from her sight one day and never see each other again.

Now, after hearing Xu Xingyu recount his and Gu Qiuxi's origins, she knew her intuition was right. If she didn't do something before they left, they might never see each other again.

You should know that she hasn't even repaid the two of them for rescuing her from the ice yet!

As for whether she felt awkward about having to become the other party's subordinate? Not at all! In the original story, she could call the Flame Master loyally, and now that her savior is Xu Xingyu, she still has no problem.

After all, like Lieyan, Xu Xingyu possessed strength far exceeding his, making her fully qualified to be her master. Isn't it just a master-servant relationship? She could completely accept it. Moreover, based on Yalin'er's observation of Xu Xingyu's personality, this master-servant relationship wouldn't affect the fact that they were friends.

If Xu Xingyu knew Ya Lin'er's thoughts, he would definitely complain that although her wariness and intuition were excellent, she might not be able to keep up with some of her thoughts due to her somewhat aloof personality.

However, Ya Lin'er was right about one thing: Xu Xingyu still intended to maintain their friendship. The master-servant relationship was inevitable, because as the Dragon God, the successors of the nine Dragon Kings would all be his direct subordinates.

He only intended to create symbolic dragon seals and such, not the kind that allowed him to control the other party's life at any time, nor were they mortal enemies he needed to guard against, so there was no need to go to that extent.

Seeing Ya Lin'er's resolute expression, Xu Xingyu helplessly scratched his head. He could tell that she had made up her mind, and even if he gave her time to think, she would probably still give the same answer.

But just in case, Xu Xingyu still needed to confirm some things. "Lin'er, are you sure you don't want to discuss this with your father? After all, this is between the two of you, and he still has the right to know, right?"

Yalin'er answered without hesitation, "Dad knows about this. After all, he mentioned before we came that such conditions might be possible, and he said he wouldn't object to this choice, so you don't need to worry about my father's side."

"Well... okay."

Xu Xingyu presented the Time Dragon King Pill and Mountain Dragon King Pill that he had obtained in his original timeline, and Ya Lin'er took them and then extended her right hand to wait for him.

Seeing this, Xu Xingyu began to inscribe runes on the back of her hand with his blood essence. Soon, a dragon seal appeared on the back of her hand, and Ya Lin'er officially became his servant.

To be honest, Xu Xingyu really didn't expect the Ancestor of Earth Dragons to be so decisive. Even though he was the son and successor of the Dragon God, he was still a little flustered to be trusted like this.

What Xu Xingyu and Ya Lin'er didn't know was that the reason why the Ancestor of the Earth Dragons was so magnanimous was due to multiple factors. First, he could see that his daughter cared about Xu Xingyu. Second, he knew about Xu Xingyu's general background from the Dragon Emperor.

He was indeed very unhappy that his sweetheart had been coaxed away like this, but Xu Xingyu herself met his standards, after all, he couldn't beat her, and her status was even more noble.

Furthermore, he could tell that this rascal was just like himself back then—a womanizer—so his daughter still had a chance.

That's why they used this method to force a connection between their daughter and Xu Xingyu, so that their daughter would always have a chance to rise in status.
