With a flash, Su Chen switched to Yu Tianheng's alternate account.
Just as he had expected, Diting Qilin was frightened on the spot. It appeared very flustered and cute, like a frightened puppy. Then, it jumped up high and covered its head with its forelimbs, wishing that it could drill down. Then, it curiously peeked at Su Chen and was frightened again. It took a few steps back, stopped, and prostrated on the ground.
"M-Master, you're still alive …"
"Do you really want me to die?" Su Chen said with a faint smile, giving Diting Qilin great pressure.
It quickly shook its head, "Diting has been waiting here for master's return. Diting's loyalty can be witnessed by the sun and moon, master."
So it was a bootlicker.
"You're not guilty."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, master. Thank you, master."
At this moment, Diting Qilin was at its most loyal. Su Chen switched back to his original form and used Transmute Monster and Soul Control on Diting Qilin.
Diting Qilin's head was still buried in the ground, so it did not see that its master's appearance had changed. Facing its master's pressure, it did not dare resist and chose to submit.
"Ding! Successfully subdued Diting Qilin."
Only then did Diting Qilin realize that something was wrong. It looked up and found that its master was gone and replaced by another person.
"Who … who are you?"
"I'm your new master."
"You lied to me!"
Diting Qilin was furious. Its loyalty instantly dropped to zero, but the system's rules prevented it from doing anything to harm Su Chen.
"Ding! Diting Qilin is trying to escape your control."
Su Chen did not panic and switched back to Yu Tianheng's alternate account.
Diting Qilin was stunned again, "Master, what was that?"
"It's not convenient for me to expose my identity. From now on, he is your new master. Listen to all his orders."
With that, he switched back to his original form.
Su Chen checked Diting Qilin's loyalty again. It had risen to 40. Although it was still very low, at least it would not betray him.
Su Chen didn't want to waste his breath on it, so he put it back into the Beast Space and waited for further instructions.
Walking out of the cave, Xue Honglian was still collecting spirit ores and Phoenix Dawn was still sleeping. Just as Su Chen approached, Phoenix Dawn suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Chen's arm, pulling him onto the bed.
"Lady Saintess, what are you doing?" Su Chen snapped.
Phoenix Dawn's face was completely red as she hugged Su Chen's arm tightly. "I want … I want …"
So direct?
Although he wasn't wearing the Young Master's clothes, Phoenix Dawn's favorability towards him was still as high as 88 points. It wouldn't be surprising if anything happened.
"If you want to, just say it. I won't mind."
Su Chen said with a smile.
In this kind of situation, Su Chen had always resigned himself to adversity. No matter how much you ravaged him, if he even frowned, it would be his loss.
While Phoenix Dawn was stuttering, Xue Honglian's aura approached. She was shocked and quickly kicked Su Chen off the bed. Then she covered her head with the blanket and pretended that she was still sleeping soundly.
Xue Honglian strode over and helped Su Chen up from the ground. "Elder Su, what happened to you?"
Su Chen coughed softly and shook his head helplessly. "I encountered a ferocious beast that slipped through the net and had a fierce battle."
"Ah, that was quite dangerous. Elder Su, please sit down and let Honglian examine you to see if you're injured anywhere. The ferocious beasts on the third level have very strange means. Sometimes, you'll be unknowingly attacked. If you don't treat it in time, it will be a big problem."
Xue Honglian didn't allow him to explain. She pulled open Su Chen's shirt and ran her slender fingers all over Su Chen's body.
Her palms were much bigger than an ordinary woman's and were very tactile. For a moment, Su Chen's heart was itchy and his body naturally reacted.
Xue Honglian's perception was very strong. She instantly captured some of the subtle changes on Su Chen's body and blushed. However, she didn't leave Su Chen's side. Instead, she became bolder. Her hands gradually moved toward a certain key part of Su Chen's body.
"Ah, Elder Su, you're swollen here. You have to quickly cool down. Let Honglian help you."
This car was already on his face!
Su Chen swallowed his saliva. "Then I'll have to trouble Little Honglian."
"Pfft …"
Phoenix Dawn's voice suddenly came from under the blanket.
However, no one cared about her.
…
After some time, Phoenix Dawn heard that there was no sound outside. Then, she carefully poked her head out of the blanket.
"It's finally over. I didn't expect Xue Honglian to be so bold. I miscalculated."
Phoenix Dawn put away the blanket and walked out of the canyon. Soon, she met two people.
"What are you guys doing here?
Don't you want to go out? "
"Shh."
Xue Honglian turned around and made a shushing gesture. "The assassins have come to the third level. They're nearby, but they haven't found us yet."
Phoenix Dawn's heart tightened. The assassins had actually broken into the third level. It seemed that they were really here to take Su Chen's life. They would not stop until one of them was dead.
"Don't worry. Now that the enemy is in the light and we're in the dark, our advantage is greater."
Su Chen said very calmly. He had just released a few Ferocious Beasts to scout the situation. He wanted to see how many assassins had come.
If there was a chance, Su Chen wanted to catch one and see who was so important to him.
Back in the canyon again, Su Chen released a few Ferocious Beasts to block the only entrance of the canyon. This way, even if the assassins found this place, they would definitely not come in to search when they saw that the Ferocious Beasts were still here.
At present, the canyon was still quite safe.
In the depths of the canyon.
Phoenix Dawn held a pig's claw and gnawed on it. Her eyes kept glancing at Su Chen and Xue Honglian. The two of them were sitting too close to each other. They were talking and laughing. Xue Honglian even personally fed Su Chen.
How shameless!
I regret it. I was the one who started it!
The braised pig's claw in my hand was not delicious anymore!
Half an hour later.
A simple-minded, snow-white Ferocious Beast that looked like a penguin but was several times fatter walked toward Su Chen.
It had returned from scouting.
Su Chen touched the Ferocious Beast's head. After a while, he said, "I roughly found out that there are five to ten assassins on the third level. They move in groups of two and are very vigilant. It's not easy to catch them alone, but it's not too difficult either. I'll go out later. You guys stay here."
"Elder Su, let me go with you. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."
Phoenix Dawn also quickly said, "I want to go too. It'll be safer if the three of us work together."
Su Chen shook his head. "There's no need. Believe in my strength. These assassins won't be a problem for me."
In a head-on battle, Su Chen might not be able to win, but if Su Chen wanted to catch them alive, it would be easy.
Before the two of them could speak, Su Chen's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
"Damn it, where did this guy get his confidence from?"
"Let's believe in Elder Su. He's not a frivolous person. Since he chose to go alone, there must be a reason."
Phoenix Dawn rolled her eyes at Xue Honglian. "Isn't this frivolous?
All the men in the world are gentlemen. "
Xue Honglian frowned slightly. "Even if you're the Saintess, if you continue to slander Elder Su, I will still fight you."
"Uh …"
Phoenix Dawn was dumbfounded. What was wrong with Xue Honglian? She was actually so infatuated with Su Chen, who she had only known for half a day. What kind of magic did this guy have?
