Purely in terms of looks and figure, Xue Jing could indeed be considered stunning. Otherwise, Linley would not have been so infatuated with her previously.
Especially after Xue Jing's cultivation realm increased, her entire person's aura became more and more outstanding.
If the one standing here was still Linley himself, he would probably have long been lost in Xue Jing's gentle methods at this moment.
But unfortunately, the one standing here at this moment was Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's state of mind was firm. How could he be moved by Xue Jing's little tricks?
Casually pointing at Xue Jing, a new set of clothes immediately condensed on Xue Jing's bright and clean body.
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Alright, you can go. This kind of little trick, don't use it in front of me in the future. Otherwise, I'll look down on you even more."
Finished speaking, Ye Chen turned around and returned to the stone house.
Xue Jing stood outside in a daze, her eyes filled with an incredulous expression.
She had full confidence in her own beauty. Even Wen Tai and the rest were similarly taken down by her using this kind of method.
But who would have thought that this kind of method actually completely lost its effect on Ye Chen now.
Xue Jing, who had an angry and embarrassed expression, could not help gritting her teeth and snorting coldly, "Linley, today's humiliation, I'll definitely take revenge in the future."
Inside the stone house, Ye Chen already could not be bothered with Xue Jing.
At this moment, his thoughts were all focused on those words that Xue Jing had just said.
Becoming someone else's slave, this was absolutely not a good choice. But to the present Ye Chen, it seemed to be the only way.
"With my strength, passing the first two tests of that Senior Apprentice Brother Yuan De should not be a problem at all. Otherwise, Xue Jing would not have come to find me. But this third test is a little difficult." Ye Chen secretly muttered in his heart.
This necklace was also rather meaningful to him. He would not give it away.
Therefore, to satisfy that Senior Apprentice Brother Yuan De, Ye Chen could only think of another way.
After pondering for a moment, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth revealed a hint of a smile.
He had already thought of how to resolve this problem.
…
In another part of this mountain fortress, Wen Tai and the two martial artists who attacked Ye Chen during the day gathered together.
The three of them were discussing how to pass Senior Brother Yuan De's test.
"There are really too many people who want to become senior brother Yuan De's servant this time. We can only be considered as newcomers. In terms of strength, we are not outstanding. Thus, if we want to pass senior brother Yuan De's test, we can only take an original approach," Yuan De said with an ice-cold expression.
The other two cultivators completely followed Yuan De's lead. When they heard what Yuan De said, they said, "Big Brother Yuan De, we understand what you are saying. Furthermore, you are the strongest among us. Whatever you say is right. We will listen to you."
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll make the decision. Have you all used up the Corpse King's blood?" Yuan De nodded in satisfaction.
The eyes of the other two cultivators lit up as they said, "No, the Corpse King's blood is extremely precious. We have all kept it, waiting to use it when we make a breakthrough. The three of us each have a little Corpse King's blood. If we add it all together, it is not a small amount. With so much Corpse King's blood, we should be able to satisfy Senior Brother Yuan De."
Wen Tai smiled and said, "That's right. However, just a bottle of Corpse King's blood is not enough. I still have other preparations."
As he spoke, Wen Tai took out a pitch-black dagger and smiled, "This dagger is also a treasure. It is coated with Death Venom refined by a Heavenly Being. Hence, it is called the Venom Dagger. With this and the Corpse King's blood, it will definitely satisfy Senior Brother Yuan De."
Hua!
Just at this moment, a figure slowly condensed beside the three of them.
"Who is it?" Wen Tai's expression changed drastically as he looked to the side coldly.
The other two did the same.
Ye Chen's figure slowly appeared beside Wen Tai.
Ye Chen glanced at Wen Tai and the other two. His gaze focused on the dagger in Wen Tai's hand. He smiled and said, "Not bad. It seems that you have even prepared the treasure for Senior Brother Yuan De. In that case, it will save me a lot of trouble."
"You want to snatch our treasure with just the likes of you?" Wen Tai's expression changed slightly, but his eyes revealed an icy killing intent.
Although there were various rules that needed to be followed here, fighting with each other was snatching treasures. No one would care.
This was also the main reason why there was a large group of martial artists around Wen Tai.
Hence, if Ye Chen really snatched the treasure in Wen Tai's hand now, Wen Tai could not do anything to Ye Chen at all.
Whoosh!
Holding the Venom Dagger, Wen Tai charged towards Ye Chen.
…
An hour later, Ye Chen walked out of Wen Tai's residence with a small package in his hand.
Inside the house, Wen Tai and the other two had already been beaten until they were completely unconscious. They were lying on the ground, unconscious.
With Ye Chen's strength, defeating Wen Tai and the other two was naturally nothing.
Furthermore, even these treasures that Wen Tai and the other two planned to present to Yuan De were all snatched away by Ye Chen.
During the day, Wen Tai and the rest still wanted to snatch Ye Chen's necklace. Now, Ye Chen turned around and snatched it from them. It could be considered an eye for an eye.
These things were the treasures that Wen Tai and the other two planned to present to Yuan De together.
Now that it was Ye Chen's turn to present it alone, he naturally passed Yuan De's test very easily, becoming one of the three slave quotas that Yuan De released.
After waiting for another two days, Ye Chen finally received definite news. Yuan De ultimately obtained the quota for this time's monarch selection. Half a day later, he would set off for the territory of a true supreme powerhouse.
Furthermore, Senior Apprentice Brother Yuan De sent someone to inform Ye Chen to let him prepare in advance.
Ye Chen had been looking forward to this for a long time. Furthermore, he was a newcomer and did not have anything to prepare at all. After receiving the notice, he simply headed to the place that Senior Apprentice Brother Yuan De informed him of early and waited.
When the appointed time arrived, that Senior Apprentice Brother Yuan De appeared before Ye Chen.
Yuan De's appearance was very young. He appeared to be in his twenties. However, his appearance was ugly. His face was filled with scars and looked extremely strange.
Apart from this, what surprised Ye Chen was that there were two women following behind Yuan De.
One of the women was Xue Jing.
Who knew what method Xue Jing had used, but she had actually become one of Yuan De's three slaves in the end. Now, she was going to follow Yuan De to a higher level region.
"You must be Linley. I'm very satisfied with the treasures you've presented. In the future, the three of you will be my slaves. When you reach Luosheng Wang's territory, don't lose face for me."
With an ice-cold expression, Yuan De casually warned Ye Chen and the others. Then, he led the three of them into the air.
Beneath Yuan De's feet was a huge warship. After the warship rose into the air, the task of driving the warship was handed over to Ye Chen and the others.
Flying was clearly much simpler in the Dark Kingdom. Therefore, even a Saint level expert like Xue Jing could easily drive the warship to fly.
This huge warship cut through the air and rapidly flew towards the territory of Luosheng Wang that Yuan De had mentioned.
Ye Chen had long since inquired about this Luosheng Wang.
Luosheng Wang was an expert with an extremely high status in the Dark Kingdom.
His strength was said to be ranked in the top three of the Dark Kingdom.
