Wang Junyi is terrified to learn that the beggar girl he insulted is actually You Meng, the top expert of Xingluo. You Meng, who desperately wants to break through to the Holy Spirit Realm, seeks out Su Changfeng. Despite her status, she offers to form a contract with him, submitting to his control and even his potential killing intent, all for a chance at advancement. Su Changfeng is taken aback by her radical proposal.

Su Changfeng took a sharp breath; he really didn’t know what this woman was thinking.

A puppet at the Primordial Level was something even Su Changfeng had never considered, but now, it seemed that all it took was a nod from him to make it happen.

"What’s your reason?" Su Changfeng asked, thinking that since You Meng was willing to bear such a cost, she naturally had her demands. He felt her goal was probably not just as simple as enhancing her power, so he had to respond cautiously, without any impulsiveness.

"To enhance my strength. That’s my only request. I’m very curious about what the Holy Spirit Realm feels like," You Meng said.

Su Changfeng still had some doubts, but on second thought, once You Meng made a contract with him, she would become his puppet. A single thought from him could kill her.

In this way, even if she had other motives, Su Changfeng didn’t need to worry too much.

However, this matter was beyond Su Changfeng’s expectations, so in a short time, he was a bit unaccustomed to it.

"You need to think it through. Once you make the contract, no matter what realm you are in, the contract cannot be unilaterally terminated. That means even if you become a Holy Spirit Expert, you will only be my puppet," Su Changfeng said.

He said this, hoping You Meng would carefully consider the consequences of making a contract with him.

"I have thought it through," You Meng said firmly.

Su Changfeng took a deep breath and said, "I need to go see Hua Qingyao. You should go back first. I will think it over carefully."

"Yes." You Meng lowered her head and left obediently, carrying herself with a low posture, almost like a servant taking orders from Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng sighed; he didn’t quite know what to say. Even experts like You Meng were willing to become his puppet. Is the Holy Spirit Realm really that enticing?

In fact, it was quite normal for Su Changfeng not to understand You Meng’s thoughts. After all, he never had such an obsession. But in You Meng’s eyes, becoming a Holy Spirit Expert was almost her sole purpose for living. However, achieving it on her own was something she likely couldn’t accomplish in her lifetime.

Now, this great opportunity was in front of her, and she certainly didn’t want to miss it.

Of course, You Meng’s goal now was not just as simple as the Fate Fruit. She believed that Su Changfeng was already a Holy Spirit Expert, so she hoped Su Changfeng could use his skill to help her become a Holy Spirit Expert faster.

Reaching Hua Qingyao’s room, Su Changfeng knocked on the door.

Since Hua Qingyao was still regulating her breath, it was a disciple who opened the door.

When the young female disciple saw Su Changfeng standing outside, she blushed slightly and shyly called out, "Sect Master Su, you’re here."

Nowadays in the Qingluan Sect, Hua Qingyao wasn’t the only one who had feelings for Su Changfeng. After all, the small booklet about how Su Changfeng fought thirty experts from the Situ Family had spread far and wide, so quite a few people secretly admired Su Changfeng.

"I’m here to see Elder Hua. Is she alright?" Su Changfeng asked.

"She’s fine, but Elder Hua is still resting," the disciple said.

No sooner had she spoken than Hua Qingyao’s voice came from the room. "Hurry and invite Sect Master Su in."

Though Hua Qingyao was indeed resting, upon hearing Su Changfeng’s voice, she felt rejuvenated. Could resting compare to seeing Su Changfeng? Just one glance at him made her feel not tired at all.

Moreover, Hua Qingyao had already consumed a Fate Fruit, and the energy that had been nearly depleted had long recovered. She was now just absorbing the Fate Fruit to try and quickly boost her strength.

Su Changfeng smiled and walked in.

It was indeed a woman’s room; as soon as he entered, a pleasant fragrance struck him. Even though Su Changfeng’s heart belonged only to Shen Hanxue, he still appreciated beautiful things.

"Elder Hua, how are you feeling now?" Su Changfeng asked, coming to the bedside. Hua Qingyao’s complexion had changed from pale to rosy.

To an ordinary man, someone with Hua Qingyao’s looks could indeed capture the gazes of many. Sadly, Su Changfeng had seen too many beautiful women and had many experiences where women threw themselves at him. He no longer felt much from such things.

Hua Qingyao sat up slightly and said, "Sect Master Su, I feel much better now, and I must thank you for the Fate Fruit. But for something as precious as the Fate Fruit, I feel unworthy of accepting it."

"Elder Hua, there’s no need to be polite. In my eyes, Chen Qingqing’s life is far more precious than these. You worked hard to bring her back, and it’s just one Fate Fruit. It’s nothing to worry about," Su Changfeng said lightly. To him, the Fate Fruit wasn’t that important. Yu Changfeng capturing Chen Qingqing as a bargaining chip was simply asking for trouble.

"To Sect Master Su, perhaps the Fate Fruit isn’t so important, but to me, just being able to look at something like that is an honor, let alone consuming one," Qingyao said.

"A single Fate Fruit isn’t of concern to me, but if Elder Hua doesn’t want to waste it, it’s best to enter closed cultivation soon. The energy of the Fate Fruit should help enhance your abilities," Su Changfeng said.

Hua Qingyao had the same thoughts. After all, such a precious thing like the Fate Fruit, she naturally wouldn’t want to waste it.

But compared to spending time with Su Changfeng, what is closed cultivation? She certainly wouldn’t miss the chance to meet with Su Changfeng because of closed cultivation.

"Sect Master Su, as for closed cultivation, I’ll plan that once I return to the Qingluan Sect. But rest assured, Sect Master Su, I definitely won’t waste your kindness," Hua Qingyao said.

She understood that once Baili Luoyuan returned, they would have to leave, so Hua Qingyao didn’t want to waste all her time on closed cultivation.

"There’s no need to worry; even when Sect Master Baili returns, you can continue to stay at the Changfeng Sect. The Changfeng Sect and the Qingluan Sect are like one family, so you can stay as long as you like. It’s best to arrange for closed cultivation soon to maximize the Fate Fruit’s value," Su Changfeng said.

Stay as long as you like?

Upon hearing this, Hua Qingyao was somewhat moved. Though she understood that Su Changfeng said this out of sect concern, which wasn’t exactly what she’d wished, just the closeness made her content.

"Sect Master Su, is this appropriate?" Hua Qingyao asked.

"It’s nothing, Elder Hua. There’s no need for formality. Besides, I still plan to visit Chenguang Hall, so Elder Hua can stay longer and cultivate peacefully at the Changfeng Sect," Su Changfeng said.

Baili Luoyuan and Wang Junyi were still over at Chenguang Hall. If Su Changfeng didn’t go, they likely couldn’t return, so it was certain that Su Changfeng had to make a trip.
