“No! No! That’s not it!” The Second Elder of Qiu Clan was so frightened he turned pale immediately when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words!

Pang! Pang! Pang!

The speed of Qiu Zhi kowtowing increased as he panicked. Cracks began to form on the ground where he knocked his head. He had completely forgotten his status. There was only one thought left in his mind at this moment. He had to survive! As a powerhouse at the First Form of Saint Celestial Stage, Qiu Zhi had endured many hardships to get to where he was after a few hundred years. If he died, all his efforts would go to waste! Naturally, he was not willing to die. Even if his cultivation base did not improve, it would not be a problem for him to live for another thousand years. He wanted to live. There were many years ahead of him! For this reason, when he saw Duan Ling Tian walking to him threateningly, he broke down and did not hesitate to beg for mercy. Nothing else mattered as long as he survived.

“No?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Qiu Zhi who was groveling coldly before he said indifferently, “Do you mean to say I’m deaf or blind?” Duan Ling Tian’s tone turned harsh as he spoke.

Qiu Zhi knew he had committed a grave mistake when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He could not help but tremble when he heard him. He was frightened! He began to beg fervently, “My lord, I’ve been ignorant. Please show mercy, my lord! As long as you show me mercy, I’m willing to be your slave! Please show mercy!” His face was dyed red by the blood flowing from his forehead. He did not have the bearing of a powerhouse at the First Form of the Saint Celestial Stage at this moment. He looked like an old servant who had committed a grave sin.

Among those present, the only people who understood Qiu Zhi were the five other Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses! When Duan Ling Tian killed the Second Master of Qiu Clan, Qiu Gang Yi, he had struck fear into their hearts. They did not dare to offend Duan Ling Tian. Not only did they not think any lesser of Qiu Zhi for acting so humbly, but they thought it was normal.

“Do you like being a slave so much?” Duan Ling Tian asked with a frown. He was slightly annoyed by Qiu Zhi’s groveling.

“Yes, yes! I’m willing to be your slave!” Qiu Zhi sighed in relief when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. It was as though he found a chance to survive.

“I don’t need you to be my slave.”

However, Duan Ling Tian’s reply caused chills to run up Qiu Zhi’s spine. He felt hopeless until Duan Ling Tian spoke again.

“However, if the Young Miss of Qiu Clan agrees to you being her slave, I might let you go.”

Qiu Mu Qing who was holding onto her father was thrust into the spotlight once Duan Ling Tian finished speaking.

“I...” Qiu Mu Qing who was still shocked by Qiu Zhi’s action toward Duan Ling Tian became even more shocked when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words.

Pang!

Before Qiu Mu Qing could regain her senses, a wretched figure had already appeared before her, kneeling down before her like an obedient dog. It was none other than Qiu Zhi who had been kowtowing at Duan Ling Tian.

“Second Elder, you...” Qiu Mu Qing was perplexed when she saw Second Elder Qiu Zhi who was usually arrogant kneeling in front of her. There was a hint of fear and anxiety in her eyes. Her reaction was only normal. After all, Qiu Zhi was the second strongest person in the Qiu Clan. He was only second to the Grand Elder. He was even stronger than the Clan Leader of Qiu Clan. The person whom even her father, Qiu An Ping, was wary of was currently kneeling before her.

“Miss Mu Qing, from today onwards, I’m your dog!” Qiu Zhi vowed before Qiu Mu Qing could even reply. “In the future, I’ll bark at anyone Miss Mu Qing points at without any hesitation! If you don’t believe me, Miss Mu Qing, I can swear on the lightning penalty oath!” As soon as he stopped speaking, he pricked his finger and a drop of blood floated in the air. Qiu Zhi spoke the vows as the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation sounded accordingly.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Nine claps of thunder resonated. Qiu Zhi could no longer go back on his words unless he wanted to die. Based on Qiu Zhi’s action, it was obvious he was afraid of death.

Qiu Mu Qing was already shocked when she heard Qiu Zhi said he would be her dog. When she saw him swearing on the lightning penalty oath, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Second Elder, you... You don’t have to do that!”

Qiu Zhi was the Qiu Clan’s Second Elder. Qiu Mu Qing had always been very respectful to him. Someone like that had sworn on the lightning penalty oath to be an obedient dog. How could she accept this in such a short time? It was good enough that she did not get a heart attack!

“Miss Mu Qing, I’ve already sworn on the lightning penalty oath. From today onwards, I’m your slave!” Although not much could be seen on Qiu Zhi’s face that was covered in blood, his voice was filled with conviction.

“Miss Qiu, since he wants to be your slave, let him be... You’ll just have one more person to order around in the future,” Duan Ling Tian said to Qiu Mu Qing.

Qiu Zhi’s performance had been very satisfactory, therefore Duan Ling Tian’s anger toward him had subsided as well.

“Duan...” Qiu Mu Qing was about to speak when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. However, she remembered she was supposed to keep his name a secret. She quickly changed her words as she said, “Brother Li Feng, I have enough maids and servants...”

Duan Ling Tian cut in and said, “You mean you have enough people to do your bidding?”

“Yes.” Qiu Mu Qing hesitated but eventually nodded. She did not know why Second Elder Qiu Zhi was so afraid of Duan Ling Tian, but she did not feel comfortable with him being her servant.

“If that’s the case, there’s no point in sparing his life.”

After hearing Qiu Mu Qing’s words, Duan Ling Tian nodded and turned to look at Qiu Zhi coldly.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Just as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking and looked at Qiu Zhi coldly, Qiu Zhi panicked and began to kowtow at Qiu Mu Qing as he begged, “Miss Mu Qing, please... Please take me in! I beg you! I beg you!!”

The current Qiu Zhi was completely devoid of arrogance. He only wanted to become Qiu Mu Qing’s slave so he could live. Even if it was humiliating, he would still be able to live.

“Mu Qing, take him in,” Qiu An Ping quickly said after he regained his senses. When he saw Qiu Zhi’s wretched state, he felt vindicated. He was not surprised at Qiu Zhi’s behavior since he understood how Qiu Zhi felt. Duan Ling Tian’s strength was obvious to him after all. There were only two choices left for Qiu Zhi. He could choose to die or be a slave to his daughter, Qiu Mu Qing!

“Father...” Qiu Mu Qing was stunned by her father’s words. She did not think her father would persuade her to accept Qiu Zhi as her slave as well.

“Mu Qing, your Brother Li Feng is no ordinary man... He did so much for you so you should appreciate his efforts!” Qiu An Ping said to Qiu Mu Qing through Voice Transmission.

No ordinary man! Although Qiu Mu Qing was unaware of Duan Ling Tian’s strength, she knew he was extraordinary. If he was an ordinary person, how could he easily kill Qiu Gang Yi, the Second Master of Qiu Clan? How could he make the Qiu Clan’s Second Elder Qiu Zhi kneel down to beg for mercy and request to be her slave?

From the beginning to the end, the Grand Elder of Qiu Clan who was the strongest in the clan only stood at the side and watched silently. It was obvious now. Even the strongest person in Qiu Clan, the man she respected a lot in the Qiu Clan, did not dare to breathe loudly in front of Duan Ling Tian!
