# Chapter 1484: Qianye Becomes a Slave (Part 2)
“Very good.” Xia Qingyue nodded faintly.
Xia Qingyue was both avenger and victor, yet she showed no trace of joy or excitement.
What Qianye Ying'er was about to face was an extremely cruel slave mark that would make her a slave for a thousand years and destroy her lifelong dignity, yet she was unusually calm, showing no sign of sadness or anger.
Zhou Tian Shen Di, who had been silent all along, watched the two from close range. Having lived for tens of thousands of years, he felt for the first time so clearly that women were often far more terrifying than men… no, much more terrifying.
Especially Xia Qingyue, this new Moon God Emperor who had only ascended the throne three years ago and whom he had only seen a few times, had undergone an earth-shattering change in his heart in terms of image and status.
“Zhou Tian Shen Di,” Xia Qingyue said, “when Yun Che plants the slave mark on her, I must trouble you and I to suppress her profound energy to the greatest extent, to prevent her from suddenly attacking Yun Che.”
Qianye Ying'er sneered: “Xia Qingyue, you underestimate me too much.”
“It is you who are unworthy of my trust!” Xia Qingyue retorted sarcastically.
“Fandi Shennü, if you have truly decided thus and will not go back on your word, then do as the Moon God Emperor says.” Zhou Tian Shen Di said calmly.
When planting the slave mark, the two must be extremely close. At this moment, if Qianye Ying'er harbored any different thought, an instant would be enough to kill Yun Che. He would never allow such a possibility to exist.
“Alright…” Qianye Ying'er neither resisted nor was angry. The bitter smile on her lips was unclear whether she was mocking Xia Qingyue or herself: “Come, let everything be as you wish!!”
Her arms slowly spread open, and the profound energy on her body completely subsided.
She had no way back to begin with. Xia Qingyue had agreed to all her conditions, and the time had been reduced from three thousand years to one thousand years, which was far better than the consequences she had anticipated.
Xia Qingyue's apparent concession was in fact silently cutting off all her thoughts of retreat.
Xia Qingyue's figure flickered, and she was already standing beside Qianye Ying'er. Her hand extended, without touching her body, a flash of purple light was released, pressing horizontally onto Qianye Ying'er. After a brief pause, it directly invaded Qianye Ying'er's body, forcibly suppressing her profound veins.
Sure enough, Qianye Ying'er did not resist.
Zhou Tian Shen Di stepped forward, standing on the other side of Qianye Ying'er. A white light descended, also suppressing Qianye Ying'er's profound veins. The power of two God Emperors simultaneously pressed on her profound veins, so even Qianye Ying'er could not suddenly break free.
“Fandi Shennü, although all of this is your own doing, to the extent that even this old man cannot sympathize, but given your temperament, being able to go this far for your father king has also earned my respect.”
Zhou Tian Shen Di said with some emotion.
“Yun Che, come here.” Xia Qingyue said.
Yun Che walked out of the profound formation, his steps slow, arriving in front of Qianye Ying'er, facing her directly.
His height of seven and a half chi was less than half a finger taller than Qianye Ying'er, yet the intangible spiritual pressure belonging to Fandi Shennü caused Yun Che, who was accustomed to facing Mu Xuanyin and Xia Qingyue, to feel a deep suffocation and oppression.
“Yun Che…” Qianye Ying'er let out a low voice. Yun Che thought she would curse him in extreme humiliation, but instead she slowly said: “A slave mark in exchange for the Buddhist Soul Death-Pleading Seal, it's tit for tat. However… you had better be careful of this woman beside you. When she treats you well, she can unhesitatingly offer me to you as a slave. If one day she wants to harm you… ten of your lives won't be enough to die!”
“Well said. I hope these words will be remembered clearly and long by your future master.” Xia Qingyue said lightly, looking at Yun Che: “Begin. You wouldn't refuse, would you?”
Refuse? Only if Yun Che's head was kicked by a donkey!
But the person before him was Qianye Ying'er… the daughter of Fantian Shen Di, the future Fantian Shen Di, the number one divine maiden of the Eastern Domain whose fame rivaled that of “Shen Xi”!
Her birth, her status, her strength, her schemes and methods, everything about her stood at the pinnacle of the world. And merely her grace and appearance… made Mo Li's brother Xi Su willing to die for her, and made the first God Emperor of the Southern Domain infatuated.
At the same time, Qianye Ying'er was the person who had left the deepest fear and heaviest shadow in his entire life.
And such a person was actually going to have a slave mark planted by him, and for the next thousand years, become his personal slave, obeying his every word without the slightest defiance!
To say he wasn't excited would be absolutely false. Not to mention Yun Che, anyone in the world facing this situation would feel endless illusion and unreality in their hearts… they would even think that even the most bizarre dream wouldn't be so absurd.
Yun Che extended his arm, saying nothing… and almost couldn't speak. His palm stiffly lifted, placing it before Qianye Ying'er's forehead, barely touching her golden eye mask.
He had never seen Qianye Ying'er's true face.
At the same time, he somewhat doubted whether there really existed a person in this world whose appearance could compare with Shen Xi.
“What are you still hesitating for?”
Xia Qingyue's faint words brought Yun Che back from his slight daze. He let out a light breath, quickly formed the slave mark, and directly invaded the depths of Qianye Ying'er's heart and soul.
Separated by the eye mask, he couldn't see the turmoil in Qianye Ying'er's eyes at this moment… but her lips, which were incredibly beautiful in shape and color, were trembling slightly all along. The moment Yun Che's formed slave mark invaded her soul, Qianye Ying'er's body swayed slightly, and the slave mark instantly dissipated.
“Qianye Ying'er,” Xia Qingyue said slowly and eerily, “if you want to go back on your word, I can let you go back right now to collect your father king's corpse.”
Zhou Tian Shen Di turned his face away, saying nothing, his heart unprecedentedly complicated.
“I don't need your nonsense!” Qianye Ying'er said coldly, biting her teeth slightly… and slowly closed her eyes.
Xia Qingyue signaled Yun Che with her eyes. Yun Che immediately changed his hand gesture slightly, quickly formed a new slave mark, and again invaded Qianye Ying'er's heart and soul.
This time, the invasion of the slave mark encountered no obstruction… only Qianye Ying'er's snowy neck and a small part of her exposed jade-like face showed slight shivers…
The slave mark entered her soul, and then was deeply imprinted in the deepest part of Qianye Ying'er's soul… unless Yun Che actively retracted it or completely destroyed her heart and soul, there was almost no possibility of removal.
Succeeded…?
Feeling that the slave mark he had formed had deeply penetrated Qianye Ying'er's heart and soul, the special soul connection was extremely clear. Yun Che's palm still remained in midair, not lowering for a long time, and his gaze also showed a prolonged daze.
Because this feeling of unreality was truly too strong.
Xia Qingyue released her palm, the purple light faded, and Zhou Tian Shen Di's power also withdrew at the same time. With no power suppressing her, Qianye Ying'er stood there still… At this moment, if she wanted, a slight flick of her finger would cause Yun Che, who was right in front of her, to die without a trace.
But Xia Qingyue was not worried at all, because the moment the slave mark entered her soul, Qianye Ying'er became the person least likely to harm Yun Che in this world.
On the contrary, whoever dared to harm even a single hair of Yun Che, no matter who it was, would become her sworn enemy until death.
“Sigh—” Zhou Tian Shen Di let out another long sigh. He had tacitly allowed, witnessed, and even assisted in the application of the slave mark. The complexity in his heart was imaginable.
“Qianye Ying'er, why don't you quickly pay respects to your master.” Xia Qingyue said, seemingly both gentle and cold.
“Hmph!” Qianye Ying'er's voice was icy: “Xia Qingyue, I am not yet subject to your discipline!”
She turned her eyes to Yun Che. In an instant, all the coldness and hatred she had when facing Xia Qingyue dissipated, all her outward aura converged, replaced by a kind of caution and fear… She, who had only ever bowed to and sworn to kneel only to Qianye Fantian in her life, knelt down before Yun Che:
“Qianye Ying'er… pays respects to master.”
Her words were still habitually icy, but there was not a trace of the cold arrogance and authority she showed to others. Both Xia Qingyue and Zhou Tian Shen Di could hear a kind of almost devout reverence.
“…” Looking at Fandi Shennü who was kneeling respectfully before him, Yun Che's vision blurred.
In this world, how many people had seen her kneeling posture?
Her long golden hair lightly brushed the ground, reflecting the most splendid light in the world. Beneath that golden armor, her body, so beautiful that no words could describe it, no painting could depict it, knelt there in the most humble and respectful posture… not daring to raise her head or stand until he spoke.
Yun Che did not know that Qianye Ying'er, even before Qianye Fantian, would at most only briefly bend her knee, and would not bow her head or bend her body.
“Zhou Tian Shen Di, in this way, Yun Che has gained a most loyal protective charm by his side, and lost the person most likely to harm him. Additionally, the Fan Di God Realm will no longer dare to do anything unfavorable to Yun Che. This kills multiple birds with one stone. I believe that with this, you, venerable sir, can be much more at ease.” Xia Qingyue said calmly.
His heart still ineffably complex, but Zhou Tian Shen Di nodded in agreement: “You are right. In the current situation, Yun Che's safety indeed outweighs everything.”
Glancing at Zhou Tian Shen Di's expression, Xia Qingyue consoled: “The slave mark is indeed an act against humanity. Zhou Tian Shen Di must find it hard to accept in his heart. But this time it is mutually agreed by both sides, and it both slightly resolves past grievances and is an act of a hundred benefits and no harm. Moreover, Zhou Tian Shen Di is merely a witness, not participating in it at all, so there is no need to be overly concerned.”
“Hehe,” Zhou Tian Shen Di smiled faintly: “Rest assured, although this old man detests evil, I am not pedantic. Since I am willing to be a witness, I will not have second thoughts. Moreover, what you said is indeed correct. Regardless of other grievances, just based on the fact that she once planted the Buddhist Soul Death-Pleading Seal on Yun Che, such a price… is deserved!”
Xia Qingyue said no more, and gave a shallow bow to Zhou Tian Shen Di.
…………
At the same time, in the Fan Di God Realm.
In the Fan Di God Realm, Gu Zhu was a special existence. Very few people knew his name, and almost no one knew his true identity and background. They only knew that he often accompanied the Divine Maiden, and the God Emperor also valued him greatly. His status in the realm was not lower than any Fan King.
Gu Zhu, like a ghost, silently arrived at the Fantian Divine Palace. Without being announced, he entered directly, and like a ghost, appeared before Qianye Fantian.
“Master, this old servant has something to report.” He made a low, extremely unpleasant sound.
Qianye Fantian, whose body was entwined with deadly poison and demonic aura, opened his eyes and said slowly: “All of you, withdraw.”
The Fan Kings guarding nearby were slightly startled, but dared not ask more. Including the poisoned Fan King, they all left.
For a moment, only Qianye Fantian and Gu Zhu remained in the hall.
Gu Zhu extended his withered old hand. A golden flash passed, and a Buddhist Soul Bell appeared in his palm. He presented it to Qianye Fantian with extreme reverence: “The young miss entrusted me to have this old servant deliver the sacred bell to master.”
Qianye Fantian's expression was cold and calm, without even a trace of surprise. He let out a faint “Mm.” With a light flick of his finger, the Buddhist Soul Bell returned to his person, disappearing into his hand.
Then, he became completely calm. Regarding why Qianye Ying'er had returned the Buddhist Soul Bell through Gu Zhu, and where she had gone, he did not ask a single word.
Beneath his wide gray robe, Gu Zhu's face, even drier than tree bark, silently twitched. He, who never spoke more than necessary, finally asked at this moment: “Master, it seems you already knew the young miss would return it?”
“Hehe,” Qianye Fantian laughed. Though it was a very faint laugh, combined with his blue-black face from the poison, it appeared especially sinister and terrifying: “The Buddhist Soul Bell was her lifelong wish and goal. If I hadn't used this Buddhist Soul Bell to give her a push, how could she have obediently gone to save my life!”
“…” Gu Zhu stood frozen there, silent for a long time. Beneath his gray robe, those eternally calm eyes were constricting violently… It took a while before they slowly calmed.
