Chapter 660: What do you think I am!?
A moment later!
The effect of the Golden hoop temporarily subsided. Tu Yiguang's mouth finally released the rope, but her body continued to tremble, her face marred by an expression of pain. Her willow brows furrowed delicately, and her stunning face was covered in beads of sweat.
At this moment, she, a Saint of her stature, was as powerless as an ordinary woman with no strength to truss a chicken. Her limbs hung limply, her whole body forming an inverted V, suspended in the air by the rope.
"Damn it! Damn it all! What have you done!?" Tu Yiguang's consciousness had actually been clear throughout. She was acutely aware of the state she had just experienced—a pain she would never forget!
"Merely a minor punishment," Qin Heng said lightly. Looking down at Tu Yiguang, he added, "Your voice is quite pleasant, and your touch isn't bad either. Stay by my side and serve as my maid."
Tu Yiguang had already been immobilized by the power of the Golden hoop and was unable to defy his will; she was destined to become his most loyal servant. Moreover, Tianhai truly needed a strong protector for Qin Yun and Song Ningran.
Qin Heng's main reason for taking Tu Yiguang as his maid was for the safety of Qin Yun and Song Ningran.
Of course, having such a breathtaking beauty occasionally by his side was also quite a pleasing sight.
"You must be dreaming!" Tu Yiguang struggled to lift her head, looking at Qin Heng, trying to warn him.
A maid!?
What was this man saying just now? He wanted her to be his maid!??
Impossible!!
Yet, she was extremely weak now. Her voice lacked any strength, sounding very soft and mellow—less like a warning and more like coquetry.
"Whether you serve as a maid is not for you to decide," Qin Heng said indifferently, a flash of gold gleaming in his eyes!
The golden ring of light above Tu Yiguang's head began to contract violently once more. Immediately, she felt as though her head was about to explode. A strange power invaded her organs, limbs, and bones, akin to ten thousand ants devouring her body—the pain was excruciating!
A moment later!
The gold in Qin Heng's eyes faded away. The luminosity of the Golden hoop also withdrew, hiding once again amid Tu Yiguang's hair. This time, Tu Yiguang was completely devoid of any thought of resistance!
She felt so helpless she almost wanted to cry!
The great Saint of the Mount Tu Fox Clan, the strongest Saint in two thousand years, a stunning fox demon who had stirred the winds and clouds during the Warring States era yet preserved herself, was actually on the verge of tears!
Helpless! Truly, utterly helpless!!
Even more than two thousand years ago in the palace of the Wu kingdom, Tu Yiguang had never felt so powerless!
Her opponent was merely a peak Innate Martial Artist, with negligible cultivation and strength that should have been easily overcome. But why did he possess such a terrifying artifact, capable of instantly subjugating a Saint!?
It was simply inconceivable!!
Even now, Tu Yiguang only believed the Golden hoop that bound her was a powerful secret artifact Qin Heng had stumbled upon by chance; she refused to believe it was any form of Divine Skills!
With extremely powerful Divine Skills, it was indeed possible for an Innate to defeat and kill a Saint.
But to immobilize a Saint was countless times more difficult, let alone sever the connection between the Saint and the external principles of Law and Dao, isolate the Saint's domain, and completely seal the Saint's true power!
Tu Yiguang prided herself on her extensive knowledge, including familiarity with numerous secret techniques and powerful martial skills of ancient sects. Yet, she had never heard of such mighty Divine Skills!
Even the most heaven-defying Divine Skills could absolutely not achieve this.
It had to be a secret artifact!!
"To be my maidservant is a blessing countless fairy maidens and goddesses would beg for and still not obtain," Qin Heng smiled faintly. With a casual point of his finger and a sliver of Mana, he restored Tu Yiguang's strength.
Back when Qin Heng was in the Immortal realm, Haotian, the Supreme Deity, had expressed on several occasions his desire to send a few of his daughters to serve Qin Heng as maidservants, simply to foster a closer relationship with him.
At that time, Qin Heng had no interest in such things and rejected all the offers.
"Arrogant! Who do you think you are!" Tu Yiguang clenched her silver teeth, her face filled with resentment as she stared at Qin Heng. A raging fire of anger burned in her heart as she said, "One day, I will kill you!"
"You will not," Qin Heng, however, just smiled and shook his head, clearly unconcerned with Tu Yiguang's words.
Because he was very clear that sooner or later, Tu Yiguang would change her mind. Even though she was only staying as a maidservant now due to the torment of the Golden hoop, she would one day become truly devoted, heart and soul.
Earlier, when Qin Heng said that being his maidservant was a blessing countless fairy maidens and goddesses couldn't even beg for, he wasn't just referring to his past life; he was stating a fact.
Even though he now lacked the cultivation level of his previous life, his Realm, Dao, and insights remained. A mere offhand remark from him could bring great benefits to Tu Yiguang. Even just being near him could increase her comprehension of cultivation and make it easier to break through Realms!
After all, Qin Heng had perceived the Supreme Law. Where he resided, the Dao rhymes and principles of natural law were much clearer. This made it the most suitable grotto-heaven and blessed land for others to cultivate in.
"Qin... Qin Heng, you... you really want to keep my sister by your side as a maidservant?" Nie Rongrong looked at Qin Heng with immense surprise, then at Tu Yiguang being held in his embrace, her face full of shock.
How fast the world changes!
The Lady of Xuantian also looked at Qin Heng with uncertain eyes, her heart filled with tremendous shock. She had originally thought that after the battle on Penglai Island, Qin Heng should have no magical treasures left!
But now it seemed that wasn't the case at all!
That glittering golden circular artifact from just now! Its power was too terrifying!
It actually managed to restrain a fully accomplished Saint of the Fox Clan in an instant, rendering her completely unable to resist, forced to submit and serve!
It was too frightening!! Absolutely inconceivable!!
Mr. Xuantian, just how many secrets do you have? How many astonishing and unbelievable things are there about you? Lady of Xuantian inwardly exclaimed, her gaze towards Qin Heng filled with deep curiosity. She even felt an impulse to stay by Qin Heng's side to understand him better; he was so mysterious, so intriguing.
"Rongrong, tell him to let me go! Tell him to release me!" Tu Yiguang turned to Nie Rongrong, pleading for help, her previous haughty and superior demeanor gone.
"Sister, Qin Heng isn't a bad person. He probably won't harm you," Nie Rongrong said, without any intention of persuading Qin Heng to release Tu Yiguang. She hadn't forgotten Tu Yiguang's previous attitude.
"Rongrong..." Tu Yiguang sighed softly but did not show despair, instead mocking herself, "It is indeed my own doing."
"Qin Heng, why do you want my sister to be your maidservant?" Nie Rongrong asked Qin Heng again, not knowing why she particularly cared about this question.
"It was a whim, a spur-of-the-moment decision. Why all the questions?" Qin Heng smiled and said, "It's like when you're walking in an orchard and see a ripe apple; you naturally want to pick it and try it. Just an impulsive act."
Impulsive! Just impulsive!??
Tu Yiguang took a deep breath, her stunning face full of fury. Feeling her dignity had been utterly insulted, she glared at Qin Heng and said, "What do you take me for!?"
"A pet, I suppose," Qin Heng looked at her indifferently and said. "You will also do my laundry, cook, and clean. Oh, and we need to buy an apartment. You're coming with me tomorrow."
