Xin Bing was shocked, she didn't know how Chen Guan just touched her wrist and suddenly her body wouldn't obey her, this was scarier than being chased by the King of Divine Martial earlier.
"You... who are you..." Xin Bing asked anxiously.
Chen Guan manipulated the immobile Xin Bing like a puppet, placing her beside him, then looked at her with a half-smile and said, "You still want to ask who I am? I thought you ca and went as you please, without caring who I am."
Xin Bing forced a smile and said, "I was in a helpless situation just now, you saw it too, the King of Divine Martial wanted to kill , I could only hide here for a while."
"But you didn't ask
if I was willing to let you hide." Chen Guan said lightly.
"I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry just now, I'm the daughter of Xin Alcoholic, you saved
today, I will surely repay you in the future." Xin Bing said honestly.
"That's where you're wrong." Chen Guan's face turned cold.
"What did I do wrong? As long as you tell , I'll change right away." Xin Bing clearly knew the way of the world and didn't argue, showing an attitude of wanting to correct her mistake.
"Showing kindness is like doing business; a small person like
helping you is like doing business with my life. The business is successful, yet you want to owe a debt, isn't that wrong?" Chen Guan said.
Xin Bing looked puzzled, she had never heard of soone comparing kindness to business.
But when under another's roof, one must lower their head. Xin Bing quickly said, "I have an Unparalleled Pet on , I can give it to you as a thank-you gift, benefactor."
"Is my life-saving business only worth an Unparalleled Pet? Then my life is really too cheap." Chen Guan snorted coldly.
"I also have an Unparalleled Secret Treasure which I can offer to you right now." Xin Bing quickly added.
"Is it that sword just now?" Chen Guan asked.
"No, no, without that Flying Sword, I have no ability to escape far in the Celestial Essence Sea, I can't give it to you right now."
After a pause, Xin Bing continued, "When I fought with them earlier, all my other pets and Secret Treasures were destroyed, I truly have nothing else to offer right now. I assure you, once I return ho, I'll properly thank you."
"Why do you love owing debts so much? I'm running a small business here, can't afford credit." Chen Guan sighed.
"I can give you an Unparalleled Pet and an Unparalleled Secret Treasure first. You're a magnanimous person, help
this one ti, once I'm free I'll certainly shower you with treasures..." Xin Bing tried to persuade Chen Guan.
"Don't make
repeat the sa words. This business wasn't sothing I sought, you ca to
for it. Now you've gained a benefit yet refuse to pay the price, do you think there's such a good thing in the world?"
"Then what do you want?" Xin Bing asked helplessly.
"Simple, equal exchange, I saved your life, you must offer sothing worth as much as your life in return." Chen Guan looked Xin Bing up and down and said, "Since you don't have anything of equal value, I see you're still quite presentable, you can barely catch the eye, so let's consider you settling the debt by becoming my Ninth Concubine."
Xin Bing's eyes widened instantly, she was furious inside: "What concubine, and the ninth at that, this person is truly shaless."
"Benefactor, my shallow beauty wouldn't catch your fancy. How about this, co with , once we return, I'll imdiately present a variety of treasures to you, ensuring your satisfaction." Xin Bing suppressed her urge to curse, forcing a smile.
"Have you ever seen a fool of a robber taking a hostage to the police station for ransom?" Chen Guan asked.
"No." Xin Bing shook her head.
"So, are you suggesting I perform such a play by taking you back and then letting your father, Xin Alcoholic, kill ?" Chen Guan sneered.
"How would I? You are my life-saving benefactor, not a kidnapper, how could I repay kindness with enmity?" Xin Bing quickly defended herself.
"Stop the nonsense, now there are two paths for you, one is to beco my Ninth Concubine." Chen Guan paused here, without continuing.
"What is the other path?" Xin Bing asked earnestly; she knew the other wouldn't be a good one.
"The other is to repay with your family's 'Ghost Immortal Step,' 'Ghost Immortal Step' for your life, you're still in profit." Chen Guan said seriously.
Xin Bing realized she had escaped one wolf's lair only to enter another, this one more ruthless and greedy than the King of Divine Martial.
"'Ghost Immortal Step' is my father's secret skill, I don't even know it." Xin Bing said bitterly.
"Then beco my Ninth Concubine, our wedding sedan is ready, let's be a pair of wild mandarin ducks here." Chen Guan said, reaching to undo Xin Bing's collar.
"No… no… I'll give you Ghost Immortal Step…" Xin Bing cried out in surprise.
"No, I've changed my mind, recently feeling fiery, eight concubines at ho aren't enough to serve , having a ninth is better than any Ghost Immortal Step..." Chen Guan continued to unbutton Xin Bing's collar, failing to undo it, resorting directly to tearing, revealing her inner garnts and pale, smooth shoulders.
"Benefactor... benefactor... listen to ... there are many like , but my family's 'Ghost Immortal Step' is one of a kind in the world, missing this chance, there won't be another store selling it..." Xin Bing shouted anxiously.
"Seems sowhat reasonable, when you put it like that, 'Ghost Immortal Step' does seem more valuable than you." Chen Guan pondered.
"It definitely is, how could I compare with the Unrivaled 'Ghost Immortal Step,' which even the Ten Great Families covet, you'd be adding wings to a tiger, becoming a renowned figure, by then any kind of woman would be yours for the taking?"
"Not just one concubine, even ten or eight, beauties from all over would flock into your embrace…" Xin Bing beca increasingly enthusiastic.
"Makes sense, alright then, I'll agree to use 'Ghost Immortal Step' as your repaynt." Chen Guan nodded.
"Benefactor, let
go first, I'll give you the formula for Ghost Immortal Step right now." Xin Bing said.
"Release you? Your Flying Sword is so fast, if you run, could I catch you? Let's discuss like this." Chen Guan said lightly.
"The formula and critical points are nurous, if not written, there will be unclear parts, practicing could lead to accidents." Xin Bing earnestly said: "Benefactor, you've saved my life, I wouldn't dream of repaying kindness with betrayal."
"True, you wouldn't be the kind to repay kindness with enmity, right?" Chen Guan looked at Xin Bing and asked.
"Of course not." Xin Bing vowed sincerely.
"Alright then." Chen Guan pressed Xin Bing's shoulder, releasing the Disabling Fist from her body.
Xin Bing imdiately felt a tremor through her body, as if sothing inside had been unblocked, regaining sensation and control over her body.
Buzz!
Xin Bing, like a phantom, in an instant darted out of the Ghost Palanquin, escaping hundreds of ters away, calling forth her Flying Sword, stepping onto it and soaring through the sky like a Sword Immortal.
"It's not even dark yet... stop dreaming... go ho, sleep... everything is possible in dreams..." Xin Bing flew away gleefully using the Flying Sword.
But not far, Xin Bing suddenly felt her eyes and mouth twitching uncontrollably, her head pounding rhythmically, her body refusing to listen, and she tumbled headlong off her Flying Sword.
