Some dark power flowed out of Han Qiu’s body. She said, “Am I nothing but a subordinate to you? You should know what I want. If you agree to that, I’ll do anything for you.”
Zhang Ruochen said calmly, “The members of Guarding Dragon Pavilion are all very independent, so technically, you guys are not my subordinates, but my protectors. You can even refuse to follow some of my orders, and you don’t need to salute me unless you want to. As long as you can become the leader of Guarding Dragon Pavilion, you’ll be at my level. Of course, when my descendants and I need you, you need to show up for them in time.”
“So what? I want…”
Han Qiu paused, smiled and said, “Protectors? Sure, I can agree to that.”
Han Qiu changed her narrative because Huang Yanchen and Zhang Ruochen had become strangers, so this was her best chance.
If she chose to leave Zhang Ruochen now, some other girl might swoop in and become the second Huang Yanchen, like that saintess from the demonic sect.
If Zhang Ruochen realized her worth and became dependent on her, she would become the crown prince wife, and that so-called Mu Lingxi wouldn’t be her match.
Han Qiu blinked her eyes and said, “I heard you’re going to Peakless Mountain on the seventh day next month for Mu Lingxi. Are you going there to fulfill a promise?”
“That’s right,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Qiu said, “If you want me to join Guarding Dragon Pavilion and become a protector of the royalty, you must give me a promise as well.”
“Which is?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Han Qiu pressed her b.r.e.a.s.t.s against Zhang Ruochen’s chest, looked up at Zhang Ruochen’s face with her glinting eyes, and said, “If I become stronger than the leader of Guarding Dragon Pavilion one day, then I’ll not only become the leader of the pavilion, but also be a member of the royal family. Do you know what I’m implying?”
“If you can actually become that strong, you’ll certainly become a member of the royal family,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Han Qiu’s eyes glinted with joy. She said, “Okay, I’ll be willing do everything for you given what you’ve just promised. You only need to know that I’m the one who loves you the most. As long as you treat me well, I’ll never betray you like Huang Yanchen did, which is why there’s got to be a place for me in the royal palace of the Sacred Central Empire. The fight against Fire Tribe and Demonic Sect will be tough, but I have an idea for how to kill half of the Fire Tribe beforehand.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes glinted, and he said, “What idea?”
Han Qiu said, “The Fire Tribe was conquered by Fengdu Ghost City, and all the ghosts were killed. Even Ghost King Shenchu was suppressed. I was also in Fengdu Ghost City, and I saw Ghost King Shenchu captured.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “Ghost King Shenchu was already a pinnacle six-trial ghost king, making it one of the most powerful great beings under supreme saints, yet Fire Tribe was able to suppress it? Impressive.”
“Fire Tribe used a supreme saint weapon, Saint Refining Pot, to suppress Ghost King Shenchu,” Han Qiu said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Incredible that Fire Tribe also has their hands on a supreme saint weapon. No wonder they’re so proud.”
Han Qiu continued, “I heard that Ghost King Shenchu is being detained in the territory of the Fire Tribe, Fiery Territory. If we can release it, there’ll be chaos throughout the entire territory. I reckon at least half of those in the Fire Tribe will get killed.”
Zhang Ruochen was a bit curious and said, “Why didn’t they refine Ghost King Shenchu if they have Saint Refining Pot?”
“From what I heard from the Fire Tribe, Ghost King Shenchu is a trace of the will of a G.o.d, which became a six-trial ghost king, which is why it’s way stronger than other six-trial ghost kings, and it’s able to fight a supreme saint temporarily. Fire Tribe captured and imprisoned it because they wanted to know how to become a G.o.d,” Han Qiu said.
Han Qiu was obviously well-prepared before coming to see Zhang Ruochen. She wanted to show Zhang Ruochen by bringing up Ghost King Shenchu that she was someone who could actually help him, not like other girls.
Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and said, “Fire Tribe will definitely guard someone like Ghost King Shenchu very strictly. Do you really think you can release it?”
“I’ll take any risk for you, and besides, I can open the door to the netherworld using my darkness body and darkness way. I have a thirty percent chance to succeed,” Han Qiu said.
“Only thirty percent? Do you even know what would happen to you if you failed?”
Zhang Ruochen was very meticulous, so he never took chances.
Thirty percent was too low for him.
Han Qiu smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter how high the chance is. As long as I can seize the chance, I can succeed even if it’s only ten percent.”
“Just wait for a while. When that person comes, ask him to go there with you. Perhaps your chance will get to seventy percent.” Zhang Ruochen looked to the sky expectantly.
Han Qiu didn’t know who Zhang Ruochen was referring to, but it had to be someone huge.
