Chapter 135: Qian Renxue's Arrangement
Qian Xunji didn't even have time to scream. He clutched his neck and collapsed, dying with his eyes wide open in unwillingness and rage.
[Ding! Antagonist Qian Xunji has died. Binding automatically released.]
"This old bastard is finally dead," Qin Xuan let out a long sigh. The only problem was that by killing him now, Qian Renxue would never be born. He would regret that for the rest of his life.
Jing Ni tilted her head. "Does Qian Xunji have a wife and child?"
"Not yet, but he will," Qin Xuan said. "Madam, please take Mo Ya and leave. I'll handle things here."
She nodded, and the two of them disappeared from the chamber.
"Consider it a favor to you," Qin Xuan said, looking at the corpse. He hesitated for a moment, then took out the 'Godly Revival Coin' he had purchased and placed it on Qian Xunji's forehead. A burst of golden light illuminated the room, and the fatal injuries healed at a visible rate.
[Ding! Godly Revival Coin used successfully. Target: Qian Xunji. Please select revival method:]
[One: Puppet.]
[Two: Retain self-awareness, but unable to resist the host's commands.]
"I just love it when others want to hate me but can't get rid of me," he mused, selecting the second option without hesitation.
"Is this hell?" Qian Xunji groggily opened his eyes. When he saw the familiar ceiling, he realized he wasn't dead. He laughed loudly. "I'm not dead! Qin Xuan, Jing Ni, just you wait! I won't let you go!"
"Who are you not planning to let go of?" Qin Xuan's voice sounded from the side.
Qian Xunji's body shivered. He summoned his Angelic Sacred Sword and swung it at Qin Xuan.
"Stop," Qin Xuan said calmly. And Qian Xunji actually stopped. "Quite obedient."
[System, bind antagonist (big sucker) Qian Xunji.]
[Ding! Binding successful.]
[Qian Xunji's resentment +18888]
[Ding! OOC warning! Host detected using system bug. Bug fixing in progress...]
[Ding! Bug fixed. After Qian Xunji, other revived antagonists will no longer be able to be bound or generate emotional value.]
[Qian Xunji's resentment +28888]
This thing actually self-repairs, Qin Xuan thought, a wave of speechlessness washing over him.
"Damn it! What have you done to this Pontiff?" Qian Xunji realized he had lost control of his body.
"Nothing. Just granted you a second life," Qin Xuan said. "Also, in front of me, you should refer to yourself as 'your old servant'."
"Qin Xuan, you bastard, your old servant won't—" His voice cut off. He couldn't disobey.
[Qian Xunji's fear +8888]
"Very good," Qin Xuan said. "From now on, I am your master, and you are my most loyal servant. In private, you must wag your tail and beg like a dog. In front of outsiders, you are still the Spirit Hall Pope, and I am your most respected and trusted second brother."
As he finished speaking, Qian Xunji actually prostrated himself. "Yes, Master. Woof woof woof."
[Qian Xunji's fear +28888]
"Alright, no need to act like a dog," Qin Xuan said, almost sick to his stomach as he kicked him over. "Now, I'm giving you a few tasks. First, find a woman with a powerful Martial Soul, marry her, and make babies. Second, regarding Bibi Dong..." He gave him further instructions, then arrived at the room where she was unconscious.
Her face was wet with tears, truly pure yet alluring. Sigh, he thought, I never thought I'd have a day like Liu Xiahui.¹ He inexplicably sighed, picked her up, and put her into his storage bag before walking out.
[Note:
Liu Xiahui: A famous historical Chinese figure known for his impeccable moral character, particularly for remaining virtuous even when a woman sat on his lap. Qin Xuan is sarcastically comparing his "restraint" to this legendary figure.]
Outside the main hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo and the Jin Yin Elders were chatting.
"Creak—" The door opened, and Bibi Dong walked out alone.
"So fast?" the Jin Yin Douluo exclaimed simultaneously. It had been less than half an incense stick's time.
"'Bibi Dong'" frowned. "What's so fast?"
"No, nothing, Your Royal Highness the Holy Maiden," they said, realizing their misunderstanding.
"From now on, don't call me that," 'Bibi Dong' said. "I have just resigned from my position. I am just an ordinary disciple of Spirit Hall now." With that, she left on her own. The Jin Yin Elders were puzzled, while Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed Qin Xuan had successfully 'persuaded' the Supreme Pontiff.
