Chapter 43 – Onto The Great Zhou Reputation Ranking

*Want to be my slave for life?*

Zhou Xuanji stopped in his tracks and looked back. He saw Northern Valiant Sword in a kneeling position and was moved slightly.

He could see blood flowing from Northern Valiant Sword’s forehead, like a blood flower blossoming on the ground.

Little Jiang Xue curled her lip and said, “Wasn’t he so arrogant previously?”

He hesitated. There was no harm keeping Northern Valiant Sword under him.

After all, he was going to carry out his revenge plans.

After thinking, he said to Northern Valiant Sword, “Ten days later, If I encounter you in front of the main gate at the border, I will keep you as my slave.”

After he spoke, he left with Little Jiang Xue.

Northern Valiant Sword heard and became overjoyed. He quickly raised his head and cried, “Thank you, my master!”

All the vital channels in his entire body were severed. To reach the border in ten days was not an easy feat.

Zhou Xuanji did not reply but left quickly with Little Jiang Xue.

The cultivators and commoners did not follow him. They were afraid that they would offend Sword God Zhou.

After the turn of events of being relieved from great danger, the news about Northern Valiant Sword becoming Sword God Zhou’s sword slave would definitely become popular news.

Zhang Ruyu looked at Northern Valiant Sword, and he rolled his eyes in thought.

Seeing that Northern Valiant Sword had successfully joined Sword God Zhou’s party, he was a little moved too.

However, to become a sword slave meant that he would lose his freedom. He would not be that reckless.

He should have just admired Sword God Zhou in his heart.

Zhou Xuanji and Little Jiang Xue walked briskly in the alley towards the city gate.

“Are you really taking him along?”

Little Jiang Xue said reluctantly. She loved to spend time alone with Zhou Xuanji; it would be so uncomfortable with an extra person along with them.

Zhou Xuanji said, “Don’t worry, when the time comes, I will just let him stay outside the valley to guard the place for us.”

Northern Valiant Sword was talented and was quite powerful.

Although Northern Valiant Sword was not a threat to the Empress of Great Zhou, it was not bad to have one more runner serving him.

Little Jiang Xue understood and felt that it was reasonable.

With Northern Valiant Sword’s abilities, when danger came, he could become a shield for them.

They continued moving.

After they passed by two streets, Zhou Xuanji suddenly stopped.

His eyes were burning with anger. He turned back and shouted, “Who is following me again?”

Little Jiang Xue heard too and anxiously turned to take a look.

She saw a lady dressed in black walk out from the corner. She was beautiful. Her long hair was coiled to the top of her head, and her face looked rather cold. Despite being cold, she appeared attractive overall.

“Who are you?” Zhou Xuanji asked in a low voice.

He could see that the lady had the cultivation of Foundation Building Level One and was not a threat to him.

The lady in black grit her teeth, walked to him, and knelt down, saying, “Senior, we have met previously. I wanted to become your maidservant, but you did not agree.”

“It’s you!”

Little Jiang Xue opened her eyes wide. Back then, the lady’s face was full of dirt, so she did not expect her to look so beautiful.

The lady in black nodded and said, “I’m Huang Lianxin. I really hope that you can take me in because I have nowhere else to go.”

Zhou Xuanji said, frowning, “Tell me clearly, what’s your motive!”

The lady was so determined to become his maidservant, there must be some ulterior motive.

Huang Lianxin bowed her head and took a deep breath. “I want revenge,” she said.

I knew it!

Zhou Xuanji cursed in his heart: I have yet to have my revenge, and now you want me to help you?

“The truth is, I have a deep-seated hatred towards the Great Zhou’s royal family.”

Huang Lianxin continued saying but she was unaware of Zhou Xuanji’s thoughts.

Great Zhou’s royal family?

“Oh?” Zhou Xuanji squinted his eyes and asked, “Who in the Great Zhou’s royal family?”

“Zhou Yalong!” Huang Lianxin gnashed her teeth as she said, “When I was still a child, Zhou Yalong came to the city where I was living. He lost his mind in his cultivation and slaughtered the entire city. My father hid me in the cellar, so I survived…”
