Chapter 1056: Chapter 1045: Be My Servant
Inside the mountain’s belly, it’s brightly lit, completely unlike the pitch-black outside.
As Ning Fan moved deeper, the path widened, and the torches on the mountain walls were replaced by pearls emitting a faint yellow light.
It was unclear what material they were made of, but the light was stable, illuminating the mountain’s belly like broad daylight.
Ning Fan proceeded forward carefully, ready to encounter patrolling members of the Blood Cross at any moment.
Strangely, however, he hadn’t seen a single person by the time he reached the end of the path.
Beneath the faint yellow lights, Ning Fan pressed his body close to the mountainside, avoiding casting a shadow that might reveal his presence.
Ahead of him lay a wide open space.
Gems embedded in the rough, uneven mountain walls glistened, and not far away, a banner came into view.
On the banner, a blood-stained cross was clearly emblazoned.
With the faint scent of blood in the air, Ning Fan had no doubt that the blood on the flag was human.
“Heh, Dragon City is indeed an interesting place.”
Just as Ning Fan was about to investigate further, a silver-bell-like laugh suddenly rang out.
Footsteps approached, and a figure slowly emerged from where Ning Fan’s line of sight couldn’t reach.
The moment this figure entered Ning Fan’s view, he was startled.
“No wonder they say women are fairies. I used to think it was an exaggeration, but now I see it’s truly fitting.”
Even with Ning Fan’s strong state of mind, he involuntarily swallowed his saliva.
At the same time, doubts arose in his heart: Who is this person? Why are they here?
“How long do you plan to keep watching? A girl can get shy, you know.”
As Ning Fan frowned in thought, the woman’s silver-bell laughter sounded again, and she appeared to glance casually at the recessed part of the mountainside where Ning Fan was hiding.
Discovered!
Ning Fan raised an eyebrow, remaining calm as he emerged onto the open ground, meeting the woman’s gaze.
“Who are you? What’s your relationship with the Blood Cross?”
Ning Fan asked.
Instinctively, he hoped the woman had nothing to do with the Blood Cross Organization, so he could spare her.
“Aren’t you a member of the Blood Cross? How did an outsider discover this place?”
The woman blinked her bright eyes, and her expression shifted from seductive to delighted.
She looked at Ning Fan, full of expectation, and said, “Are you here to rescue me?”
Ning Fan remained silent.
“If you can’t rescue me, that’s fine too. Can you go out and send a message for me? My family is a prominent one in Dragon City, and they’ll reward you handsomely if you deliver the news.”
Su Xiaoxiao stood up, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and she walked towards Ning Fan with a pained expression, softly saying, “Young hero, you must promise me, I beg you.”
“Clang!”
A sharp sound suddenly broke the silence.
Ning Fan, who had been silent, suddenly shifted his body, dodging a fierce cold gleam.
Glancing back at the black silver needle deeply embedded in the mountain wall, Ning Fan’s lips curled into a cold smile, and he said coldly, “Jian Lanchun, have you finished your act?”
“Oh dear, you didn’t fall for it. Do you prefer men?”
Jian Lanchun’s face changed, and the previous frailty and sorrow disappeared. She sat back on the plush chair and looked at Ning Fan with interest.
“Who sent you? Speak, I’m in a good mood today, maybe I’ll spare your life.”
Jian Lanchun twirled her slender fingers like lush greenery, smiling at Ning Fan and said, “Even though I know you killed Little Black and the others.”
“Bring out your ambushed men. The Nine Souls Jade, I’m determined to have it.”
The Eight Zen Decree Technique naturally activated, Ning Fan stood solemnly, True Qi surging within him, ready to act at any moment.
With his keen observational skills, he could already tell that the leader of the Blood Cross, Jian Lanchun, had a cultivation at the early stage of the True Origin Realm.
Under such circumstances, even with the rest of the Blood Cross members, Ning Fan was confident he could subdue them and acquire the Nine Souls Jade.
“Hehe, I knew you came for this. But have you considered that this might be a trap?”
Jian Lanchun’s eyes were full of teasing, her fingers pointing at Ning Fan as she laughed, “The people I sent to negotiate with Ning Qingfeng were so weak. Did you not suspect I sent them to lure you here?”
“Ning Fan, you fell for it.”
Jian Lanchun clapped her hands and stood up from the plush chair, gracefully walking towards Ning Fan.
“Since you’re here, don’t leave. You can have the Nine Souls Jade, but you’re mine.”
Her eyes filled with springtime allure, Jian Lanchun gently bit her moist lips, slowly approaching Ning Fan with an alluring voice, “Ning Fan, stay and become my servant.”
As Jian Lanchun’s steps drew closer, the True Yuan within Ning Fan suddenly ceased flowing. Standing still, his expression showed endless struggle.
“Servant… No, I, Ning Fan, cannot be someone’s servant.”
“Yes, you can. Trust yourself, relax, be obedient.”
Jian Lanchun’s lips curled into a cold smile, but the enchantment in her eyes grew more pronounced.
This Illusion Technique was a secret technique she acquired by chance and was the means by which she, as a woman, founded the Blood Cross and gathered numerous heroes under her command.
And now, it seemed Ning Fan would be the next expert to fall at her feet.
“Relax… You’re mine; you can’t disobey my orders.”
Jian Lanchun finally reached Ning Fan’s side, her fingers gently caressing his stern profile as she whispered sweetly.
