Chapter 755: Blood and Origin
“Good. Go catch some rest.”
Murong Xianxian waved, and Qu Langhuan immediately retreated to a corner. She sighed, “People are so strange sometimes. The high road is right in front of them, and yet they must cross the log bridge where one slip may sound the end of their lives. Are they stupid, cheap, or both?”
Once done with her musing, Murong Xianxian glanced at Cui Qiuyuan and asked, “Cui Qiuyuan, is it? Are you done thinking?”
“This junior… surrenders himself to you, miss,” Cui Qiuyuan answered in a low and helpless voice.
“I guess you’re not stupid after all.” Murong Xianxian smiled. “You know what to do.”
Cui Qiuyuan might be a terrible person, but there was no denying his mental fortitude. Having made up his mind, he immediately withdrew the Undying Phoenix Feather and awaited Murong Xianxian’s machinations.
He knew what was coming next. Murong Xianxian was going to plant a restriction in his mind and turn him into her eternal slave. If she felt like it, she would be able to kill him with a single thought. He didn’t have a choice though. A life of slavery was still better than being forgotten inside a seal, forever. It was also better than being dead.
Besides, so long as he still lived and breathed—not inside an unbreakable seal, of course—there was always a chance. There was always hope.
After all, no one, not even Murong Xianxian, could say what the future held.
