These words seemed to have stabbed straight into 'Yan Xiu''s heart, instantly petrifying the sneer on his face. He stared at Miao Yi speechlessly, his expression slowly changing from one of shock to another. In the end, he forced himself to calm down and said, "Master? How dare you! "
This' Yan Xiu 'was obviously no one else but White Phoenix who had a secret stash of several million Transcendence Bows and a large number of Celestial Court armors. Yang Zhaoqing's guess was right. White Phoenix already had the ability to transform. She didn't have to worry about arousing suspicion when she entered the phantom market's headquarters as Yan Xiu. After all, the headquarters was filled with the Kou family's spies. Transforming into Yan Xiu was also Miao Yi's idea when he contacted White Phoenix in private.
Miao Yi calmly said, "Acknowledging a master is a big deal. I'm sure your memory isn't that bad. I didn't force you. Who took the initiative to acknowledge me?"
White Phoenix's figure wriggled and instantly reverted to her original appearance. She wore a long, white dress that dragged on the ground. Her hair was silver, her eyebrows were dyed white, and her skin was fair. Her entire being was like a jade sculpture. She was as beautiful as a goddess, but as arrogant as a rooster.
"Acknowledge me as master?" She didn't deny it. Instead, she asked disdainfully, "Do you think you're worthy?"
She pushed the question back to Miao Yi, still holding on to the hope that Miao Yi didn't know so she could continue fighting for her freedom.
However, Miao Yi seemed to have come prepared this time. He bluntly said, "You have to ask yourself whether I'm worthy or not. Someone who can enter the Chaotic Astral Seas with the Inner Eye and remove the seal on your heart — do you think he's worthy to be your master?"
White Phoenix felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she pretended to be confused. "I don't understand what you're talking about. Unlocking the seal on my heart was an exchange I made with you, not me …"
She still wanted to fight for her precious freedom, but Miao Yi forcefully interrupted her, "Are you sure you want to go against Master White?"
Unable to laugh anymore, the White Phoenix's pupils shrank as she glared at Miao Yi. Suddenly, there was a loud smack. Suddenly, she slammed her palm on the table and screamed hysterically, "Are you messing with me? Why the hell are you asking me now that you know? So what if you've acknowledged me as your master? That bastard has been dead for countless years. Even if I acknowledge you as my master, what can you do to me? "
This reaction was enough. Miao Yi secretly let out a sigh of relief. Looks like I'm right, I've finally solved the mystery of why this female seductress suddenly came to me to acknowledge me as her master.
After the trip to the Nameless Gate Ruins, Yun Zhiqiu had used the map he found during the treasure hunt to confirm that it was the Demonic Monk Nan Bo's seal, allowing him to basically confirm that the person who hid the treasure was Lord White. Based on this, Yun Zhiqiu had connected the Eye of Heaven to the situation where he had encountered the female Seductress in the Chaotic Astral Sea. Coupled with the fact that the demoness had recognized him as her master, it was hard not to suspect Master White. That was why he gave it a try, and it turned out that he was right!
With this confidence, Miao Yi extended his hand in the direction of the main door. "If you want to go back on your word, I won't force you. Please do as you please. However … you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"
"Hmph!" White Phoenix snorted in disdain and turned to leave. There was no hesitation at all.
Miao Yi placed both hands on the table. His expression was calm, and he didn't urge him to stay.
With her head held high and her chest puffed out, White Phoenix resolutely walked to the door and placed her hands on the doorknob. Just as she was about to pull it open, she froze in place. She turned around to look at Miao Yi, only to find that he had already closed his eyes. He really had no intention of asking her to stay.
Who would have thought that the White Phoenix, who had been so stubborn just a moment ago, would turn around in the blink of an eye. Slap! She slammed her palm on the table again, causing the items on the table to bounce around. She glared at Miao Yi without saying a word.
Miao Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at her, feeling amused. Naturally, there was a reason why he dared to let her go. He remembered back when they were still at Black Tiger Flag, this demoness had first come to the Black Tiger Flag base and used Yan Beihong as a hostage to force him to release the seal on her heart. At that time, this demoness had immediately left. But then, strangely enough, this demoness had suddenly returned. As soon as they met, she immediately kowtowed to him, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she immediately recognized him as her master. He didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't quite believe it at the time.
Now that he knew that it was because of Master White, it wasn't hard for him to figure out why he was so baffled at the time. This demoness was as arrogant as a rooster. How could she possibly kneel and acknowledge someone as her master willingly? She must have been under some kind of irresistible pressure.
With such confidence, why would Miao Yi be afraid of her running away? 'Look, this demoness's stubbornness has disappeared in the blink of an eye. Isn't she obediently coming back now?'
"You're not leaving anymore?" Miao Yi asked calmly.
White Phoenix gritted her teeth. With a wave of her hand, she took out a storage bangle and tossed it in front of Miao Yi. She then turned around and walked over to a chair at the side, sat down, and crossed her legs. She coldly scoffed, "After all, you did release my seal before. I'm not an ungrateful person. Everything you want is inside. Take a look at it yourself."
This reason left him speechless! Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He finally understood what it meant to be stubborn. He picked up the storage bangle and went through the items inside.
After a while, he made sure there were no mistakes. Miao Yi put the storage bangle away, leaned back in his chair, and said, "White Phoenix. I'm your master. You won't deny it, will you?"
White Phoenix said, "I've never seen someone as shameless as you. How dare you hold on to my words of gratitude all those years ago. Are you even a man?"
Miao Yi said, "Cut the crap. I'm asking you, do you admit it?"
"Hmph!" White Phoenix sneered. "You're only capable of going back on your word when you're facing someone like me, who's as stubborn as spilled water. If it were anyone else, they would've killed you with a slap a long time ago. You can go ahead and enjoy yourself."
'You're still being stubborn?' Miao Yi found it hilarious. However, he didn't mind. Stubborn was one thing, but in reality, he was still admitting defeat. It didn't matter if he accepted it wholeheartedly or not. As long as he admitted it, it was fine, even if he had no other choice. However, he still had a question he wanted answered. He asked, "Back then, when you entered my central camp and I released your seal, you had clearly left by then. Why did you suddenly come back to claim me as your master? There must be a reason behind it. Who forced you to come back? "
"Stop playing dumb. If it weren't for …" White Phoenix suddenly paused mid-sentence. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Miao Yi, a thoughtful look in her eyes. 'I understand now. There are some things this guy doesn't know!' With this thought in mind, how could she possibly speak the truth? Her desire to maintain a certain degree of freedom wouldn't vanish so easily. Changing the topic, she said, "Didn't I already make it very clear? Claiming you as my master was a gesture of gratitude all those years ago!"
Now that she was being honest, she might as well admit that she had already claimed him as her master. She couldn't avoid it no matter what, because she knew just how powerful that person was. Someone at that level was definitely like a centipede that wouldn't fall even if it died. Even if it was just the remnants of his power, she still wouldn't be able to withstand it. She had already experienced it for herself. Since she couldn't avoid it, then she would do her best to avoid being led around by the nose.
'Damn you!' Miao Yi gritted his teeth. Even an idiot could hear the 'godly twist' in White Phoenix's words.
Suppressing his anger, he changed the topic and asked, "Since Master White intentionally made arrangements for you all those years ago, I don't think he only arranged for you to serve him tea after claiming you as his master, right? I'm sure he had other instructions for you. Tell me, what else did he tell you? "
"I don't think so?" White Phoenix suddenly put on a naive and naive expression. She blinked her bright eyes and said, "I can't remember what he had planned for me. Can you remind me?"
'Damn it! Do I even need to ask you if I know? ' Miao Yi said in a deep voice, "Do you really want to be my maidservant and serve me tea for the rest of your life?"
White Phoenix's body tilted to the side. She rested her elbow on the armrest and rested her chin on her palm. She smiled and said, "Since I've already claimed you as my master, I'll accept being your servant as well. If you're really willing to have me serve you tea and not worry about others finding out, I have no objections. However, you should know that once Master Green finds out that I'm colluding with you, it'll be hard for him not to overthink things. You must consider this carefully. I have no objections. "
Miao Yi's expression tensed up as he glared at her coldly. He was cursing in his heart. Just as he said earlier, he was certain that Master White had other instructions for this demoness. From the matter of the hidden treasure, he could tell that Master White was a meticulous person. His various arrangements were closely linked, and he wouldn't have made such a huge mistake. He must have other intentions for sending such a sensitive and unreliable person to cause trouble for the treasure hunters!
However, based on this demoness's personality, Miao Yi could tell that as long as the matter wasn't confirmed, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her without knowing anything! More importantly, this demoness's cultivation wasn't low. It wasn't appropriate for him to use force on her.
Seeing him at a loss, White Phoenix was overjoyed. She said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Master, how are you going to arrange for me next?"
"Serve me tea!" Miao Yi pointed at the teacup. 'Do you think I wouldn't dare order you around like a maidservant …?'
Three Moon House!
After changing his appearance, Xu Tangran once again lifted his head to look at the brothel's signboard. Following Yang Zhaoqing's instructions, he left behind some rules. He would come here once every three days, and this was already the fourth time. However, he didn't find anything out of the ordinary that Yang Zhaoqing had mentioned.
"Sir, you're here."
A wave of fragrance assaulted his nostrils. A few gorgeously dressed women were already crowding around him.
Xu Tangran didn't stand on ceremony. He had been ordered to have a good time, so he naturally wouldn't mistreat himself. With both hands, he grabbed a piece of buttocks and squeezed it, then entered the brothel with the women in his arms.
Seeing that it was a regular customer, the middle-aged brothel keeper with a face full of makeup quickly rushed over. After teasing Xu Tangran for a while, she said, "There are a few new goods in the brothel. Do you want to try something new?"
"No need. Let's go with Jiaoyu." Xu Tangran waved his hand and walked straight up the stairs. He seemed a little impatient.
He wasn't faking it. He was indeed a little impatient. That woman called Jiaoyu had a different kind of flavor. He wasn't sick of her yet. Moreover, in this line of work, she also had a way to whet her customers' appetites. She promised Xu Tangran that if he still came to support her next time, she would show him a new trick. Xu Tangran was still thinking about it. Naturally, he didn't want to switch for the time being.
The brothel keeper hurriedly chased after him, apologizing profusely, "Sir, I'm really sorry. Unfortunately, Jiaoyu came today. However, the new goods are definitely not inferior to Jiaoyu. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied. "
'Damn it. I'm spending money, and you still dare to stand me up? Do you believe that I won't raid your Three Moon House?' Xu Tangran's heart was burning with rage. He stopped in his tracks and coldly glared at the brothel keeper.
The brothel keeper's expression froze. She quickly apologized profusely and said a bunch of nice things.
"Hmph! If Jiaoyu doesn't know how to serve, then do as you see fit! "Xu Tangran scoffed, then turned around and continued up the stairs.
