Chapter 522: Conspiracy
Dim living room.
The woman in the green dress sat on the ground, her beautiful eyes glancing out the window at the falling snow. A hint of untamed charm rippled within her cold gaze, captivating like a vixen.
Cha Nai Xue leaned back in a deep red high-backed chair, sipping her black tea while looking down at the woman with the cyan velvet fox tail behind her hips.
Unlike her usual divine coldness and purity, Jiang Qiue was now spread-legged before Cha Nai Xue, having lost her dignity.
The enmity between her and Jiang Qiue wasn’t that deep; they weren’t mortal enemies.
However, there were still some minor grievances and mutual dislike.
Of course, when they encountered each other in the past, they maintained basic courtesy and didn’t fall out.
But after today, if Jiang Qiue managed to escape this “den of horrors,” she would likely do everything she could to kill Cha Nai Xue.
Cha Nai Xue glanced at the crystal-clear water flow on the floor tiles, snaking towards her high-heeled shoe tips. She pursed her lips, retracting her leg slightly. Lifting her eyelids, she met the cold, beautiful gaze of the Saintess Jiang Qiue.
Feigning confusion, she chuckled softly, “Jiang Qiue, I’m curious, why did Little Feng just call you a ‘sly fox’?”
“…!” Jiang Qiue’s delicate hands tightened, covering her mouth to stifle any sound. Her increasingly cold gaze fixed on this fallen Saintess who had become Xia Feng’s lackey.
Suppressing her shame and anger, she ignored the discomfort beneath her skirt, trying to keep her tone calm. She said quietly, feigning curiosity, “Cha Nai Xue, I’m also curious. Xia Feng seemed to like you a lot before. Why do you seem more like his female slave now?”
“…” Cha Nai Xue’s smile slowly faded. With a blank expression, she hooked a finger.
Several red threads hung straight down from the air, anchoring into Jiang Qiue’s limbs and back. She was lifted and lowered like a puppet.
Jiang Qiue’s breathing quickened, her thighs tensing as she tried to struggle, but it was in vain.
Perhaps hitting a sore spot, the fallen Saintess began to increase the severity of her punishment.
Her brows furrowed. Just as she was about to say something more, Cha Nai Xue’s gentle mental voice suddenly echoed in her mind:
“Jiang Qiue, do you want to get revenge on Xia Feng and make him your puppet again?”
Jiang Qiue froze slightly. Her eyes, filled with a charming watery haze, lifted. The woman in the snow skirt looked natural, her beautiful eyes serene, as if the telepathic message wasn’t from her.
“Xia Feng left behind three Recording Stones, which could be monitoring our every move. So, if you want to escape to a safe place, continue in this state. Don’t speak, just listen to me.”
“…” Jiang Qiue lifted her flushed, pretty face, her beautiful eyes becoming more hazy.
“As you’ve guessed, Xia Feng and I don’t have a good relationship, and I’m not willing to remain subservient to him and the Q-Masked Man like this. So you can rest assured, you and I are natural allies… at least for now.”
“Now, let me explain my plan.”
“Step one of the plan: I need you to voluntarily pledge allegiance and submit to Xia Feng, sign the Slave Contract, and become his female slave.”
“?” Jiang Qiue’s hazy gaze flickered. She glanced at Cha Nai Xue, now seriously suspecting the fallen Saintess was playing a double-cross, trying to trick her into signing a slave contract that would betray her god, thereby completely becoming Xia Feng’s female slave.
After all, although the Slave Contract was only a B-grade Spirit Robe, as long as the user’s status was high enough, it still possessed very strong binding power, which even a Nine-Tails Star God couldn’t resist.
Therefore, signing the Slave Contract would undoubtedly add another shackle to her, making it even less likely to resist Xia Feng.
However, she said nothing and chose to continue listening to Cha Nai Xue.
“As you know, the Slave Contract is divided into ‘Guardian Seal’ and ‘Slave Seal’. Whichever seal you sign, you will be under the master’s control of life and death. Even if you can regenerate by severing your tail, you cannot dispel this contract, unless you can quickly ascend to the Sage realm and directly suppress it with your cultivation.”
“Xia Feng has always coveted the S-grade Legacy Spirit Robe of the Black Moon Holy See and wants to steal it, so he needs our Saintess identity.”
“I am now trusted by the Q-Masked Man after signing a Slave Contract with him. If you are also signed by Xia Feng, you will naturally gain a certain degree of trust from these two, obtaining freedom of action.” Hearing this, Jiang Qiue frowned. What good was freedom of action?
“Step two of the plan: reverse the contract. According to the visions of my Nether Eye, a rare God Relic called the Reversal Sacred Covenant will appear in the Black Moon General Court soon. It possesses the ability to reverse the identities of both parties in a contract. Our goal is to find a way back to the Black Moon General Court and obtain this God Relic.”
“Once successful, both Xia Feng and the Q-Masked Man will become our slaves.”
Her gentle voice echoed faintly in Jiang Qiue’s mind, very alluring, but she still felt uncertain.
Her body was already controlled by Xia Feng’s dragon blood. Signing another Slave Contract would be an extremely risky move, and Cha Nai Xue wasn’t completely trustworthy.
Even if the other party was trustworthy, whether they could successfully obtain the God Relic was still an unknown.
“Also, the method Xia Feng uses to control you with dragon blood is the ‘A-class Spirit Robe Blood Spirit Construct.’ It can also be affected by the ‘Reversal Sacred Covenant.’ As long as Xia Feng uses the Blood Spirit Construct, you can control him in return.”
Cha Nai Xue spoke again, making Jiang Qiue pause. Blood Spirit Construct?
When they were fighting for the Holy Chest in Bei Qiu Abyss, wasn’t the A-class Spirit Robe outside the Holy Chest called by that name?
Thinking of this, she regretted it even more. Indeed, she shouldn’t have given Xia Feng the opportunity to learn that A-class Spirit Paper back then.
But now was not the time for regret. Regarding Cha Nai Xue’s proposal, she was indeed somewhat tempted.
“Reversal Sacred Covenant” – if Cha Nai Xue wasn’t lying, then this was indeed an ultimate treasure that could turn the tide, allow her to overthrow her superiors, and make a comeback… to severely suppress that evil disciple Xia Feng.
The premise was that she first had to appease Xia Feng, to be his slave and servant.
This was something she could absolutely not accept.
She was not like Cha Nai Xue, who had no dignity, no shame, and no bottom line.
“Let me put it this way: I just don’t want to be inferior to others, and I’m not interested in Xia Feng. So after we succeed, Xia Feng is yours; I won’t fight you for him.”
Cha Nai Xue’s enticing whisper came again, “If you agree, blink twice.”
Jiang Qiue pursed her lips and blinked her hazy beautiful eyes twice.
“You agree already?”
Cha Nai Xue also lightly patted her face twice with her delicate hand, saying gently, “I thought you would hold out a little longer.”
“!!” Jiang Qiue’s eyes reignited with a killing fire.
But with Cha Nai Xue’s will, she was once again lifted by the red threads like a puppet.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t lie to you. From now on, we are… mutually supportive allies.”
Cha Nai Xue withdrew her hand and leaned back in her chair. Her elegant and beautiful face looked out at the falling snow outside the window.
The dim moonlight pierced through the snowflakes and the glass window. Her crescent-shaped smiling eyes were cryptic and dark, gradually losing their luster.
Xia Feng…
Don’t worry, I would never give you to Jiang Qiue.
That would be too dangerous.
