Hui Xing asked you to be my lackey, not to be a... dog.

Those crimson eyes returned to calmness after saying that.

As for whether this woman would backstab Su Ji?

Hui Xing didn't care.

If she did, he would have to solve it himself.

And if he could be killed by a backstab from this kind of idiot.

Then it would be better for him to die early.

Why bear the hopes of so many only to disappoint them?

Hui Xing's figure floated back onto that massive bluestone and sat back down.

Turning her back to them once again.

The wasteland returned to its eternal, unchanging dead silence.

Su Ji looked at that petite back and twitched the corner of his mouth.

He glanced down at the Second Elder of the Puppet Heaven Holy Land, who was still maintaining a graceful bowing posture, her body as stiff as a stone sculpture.

This woman was ruthless and full of schemes; one look and you could tell she was not someone easy to deal with.

Keeping her around was practically holding onto a ticking time bomb.

However...

She did have value to be exploited, that much was true...

Su Ji no longer hesitated. He turned and walked toward the spatial ripples from which he had come.

Seeing this, the Second Elder's heart trembled. Forgetting to maintain her posture, she scurried after him with quick, small steps, terrified of being left behind by this young man.

The two of them, one after the other, passed through the distorted curtain of light.

The next moment, the surrounding scenery shifted dramatically.

The oppressive sense of dead silence vanished, replaced by the familiar heatwave of the underground lava cave, mixed with the smell of sulfur.

Su Ji glanced back. The spatial rift had completely closed, vanishing without a trace.

He turned around, just getting ready to leave this wretched place, when a fragrant breeze wafted into his face.

Young Master... Su...

The Second Elder's bone-meltingly soft voice sounded from behind.

She had pressed up against him at some unknown point, exhaling breath like orchids. In those soul-stealing eyes, watery ripples flowed, carrying a perfectly measured hint of timidity.

Her soft, seemingly boneless little hand tentatively and gently rested on Su Ji's arm.

This humble woman... is all alone and helpless. Having slaughtered my fellow sect members and offended the Holy Land, I am truly at a dead end...

I hope the Young Master will take pity on me and take me in. I will be your slave or servant, serving tea and pouring water, doing whatever the Young Master commands.

As she spoke, she pressed her body a bit closer to Su Ji, her full bosom intentionally or unintentionally rubbing against his arm.

Good heavens.

Not even bothering to act, just going straight for seduction?

Su Ji's face remained impassive, but in his heart, he started complaining wildly.

Isn't this routine a bit too old?

A slave or servant? When you were killing your fellow sect members just now, that ruthlessness didn't look like a servant at all.

Still...

This woman's figure was genuinely top-tier.

Thinking this in his heart, Su Ji revealed a troubled expression on his face.

This... might not be very appropriate, right?

My Acacia Sect has never accepted people of unknown origins, let alone... someone from the Puppet Heaven Holy Land like you.

Seeing that he didn't push her away immediately, the Second Elder rejoiced in her heart, secretly thinking she had a chance.

She knew it; there was no cat in the world that didn't steal fish.

Although the young man before her seemed to possess unfathomable strength, he was ultimately young and full of vigor. How could he possibly resist her charm?

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her eyes instantly turned red. Two streams of clear tears flowed on command, sliding down her charming and moving cheeks, adding a bit more pitiful allure.

Young Master, please see clearly. This humble woman has long severed all ties with the Puppet Heaven Holy Land!

For their own selfish desires, they harmed my fellow sect members. I am ashamed to associate with such heartless and unjust people!

She spoke these words with genuine emotion and righteous indignation, as if she were the real victim.

Listening from the side, Su Ji almost laughed out loud.

Wow, this speed of changing faces was faster than flipping the pages of a book.

Oh? Su Ji raised his eyebrows in feigned surprise. Are those words true?

Absolutely true! Seeing that he seemed to believe her, the Second Elder nodded hastily, speaking with absolute certainty.

As she spoke, she looked at Su Ji affectionately with those watery eyes.

Right now, this humble woman only has the Young Master in her heart.

As long as the Young Master doesn't mind, I am willing... willing to make your bed and fold your quilts, to be a beautiful companion by your side...

Her voice grew lower and lower, and a moving blush spread across her cheeks. That shy and bashful appearance was enough to make any man's heart waver.

Looking at her like this, the desire to mock her in Su Ji's heart actually dissipated quite a bit.

To be honest, this woman's acting skills were truly top-notch.

That look in her eyes, that expression, that perfectly timed vocal tremor, it was simply textbook level.

If he hadn't seen through this woman's true nature long ago, he might have actually been fooled by her.

Since that's the case...

Su Ji pondered for a moment, as if finally swayed by her words.

He slowly reached out his hand and gently lifted the Second Elder's tear-stained, beautiful face.

The sensation from his fingertips was delicate and smooth.

The Second Elder felt wild joy in her heart. She knew the fish had taken the bait.

Taking advantage of the momentum, she leaned her entire body forward, almost pressing into Su Ji's embrace, her voice growing even softer.

Young Master...

Su Ji looked at her charming face, which was close at hand, and those eyes that were practically dripping with water.

This kind of woman, to put it nicely, had countless ministers beneath her skirt.

To put it harshly, she had slept with tens of thousands of fellow cultivators?

Even if you gave her to Su Ji to use, Su Ji wouldn't feel at ease.

Not to mention having to risk Su Jiu blowing her top.

The loss outweighed the gain.

The loss outweighed the gain.

Therefore, Su Ji directly slapped her hard across the face.

Hui Xing told you to be my running dog, not my... *dog.
