Chen Li stared unblinkingly at the Bloodshadow Man, his eyes darting around as if plotting something sinister. He quietly transmitted a message to Shen Qingyue: "Xiao Yue, we can't confront him directly; this old pervert is way out of our league. You should pretend to cry for sympathy; it might buy us some time."
Shen Qingyue's small face turned cold, her brows nearly shooting up in disbelief as she replied through their mental link: "You want me, the Empress, to pretend to cry? Chen Li, have you lost your mind?"
Chen Li pouted and shot back: "If you don't pretend to cry, how do you expect to defeat him? Haven't you heard the old-timers say he's a complete pervert who enjoys tormenting pretty girls? If you're not afraid of getting caught by him, then feel free to ignore my advice."
Shen Qingyue trembled with anger, her small body on the verge of exploding. She shot Chen Li a fierce glare but couldn't help imagining the miserable fate that awaited her if this monster captured her. After a moment's hesitation, she finally softened her stance and muttered under her breath.
But deep down, she was unwilling. Although she feigned fear and let out a whimper, she cursed Chen Li in her heart: "What nonsense! Forcing This Emperor to pretend to cry is a great humiliation! Just wait until I regain my strength; I'll make you pay!"
To Bloodshadow Man's eyes, their secret exchange was nothing but raw fear. His smile widened, resembling a hungry wolf circling its trapped prey—cruel and excited. He gazed greedily at Shen Qingyue and said in a nauseating tone, "Little girl, don't worry. As long as you serve me well, I will ensure you live a little longer."
He had never seen such a cute and beautiful girl before. Even with his murderous tendencies, he felt a twinge of reluctance to simply devour Shen Qingyue right away. After all, such an exquisite toy deserved more than just a quick play; otherwise, it would be a waste.
As he spoke, his bony hand reached toward Shen Qingyue's delicate face as if he were about to caress a precious porcelain figurine. A wave of intense disgust flashed in Shen Qingyue's eyes as she silently vowed: "Once This Emperor regains her power, I will tear you apart!"
In that moment of silent determination, she suddenly saw a blur before her eyes—a shadow darted past her like lightning.
"Senior! Please spare my life! I am willing to serve you like an ox or horse!"
"Just let me help you unify the empire for the Blood Fiend Sect!"
Chen Li's desperate wails echoed throughout the Demon Cave. His cries were hoarse and filled with palpable fear. The sound stunned everyone present, including the Bloodshadow Man who had been ready to savor his prey's terror.
Shen Qingyue was left dumbfounded and speechless: Did her useless brother just surrender?
She had thought that Chen Li would find a way to stall for time or fight desperately, but she never expected him to kneel and beg for mercy, and so humbly at that.
The old man was also taken aback; he had not anticipated that Chen Li would be so afraid of death. Even the cultivators trapped behind the stone walls cast scornful glances at him. They had just thought of Chen Li as their savior!
The Bloodshadow Man was equally stunned. After a moment, he finally reacted and burst into loud laughter. Perhaps Chen Li's actions were indeed amusing enough to please him; he laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face.
"Hahaha, you little waste! What power do you have that would make me spare you? What makes you think you have the right to serve me?" The Bloodshadow Man looked down at the trembling Chen Li on the ground, his eyes filled with disdain.
After laughing enough, the mockery in his gaze deepened. He raised his hand, his bony fingers resembling eagle claws, glinting with a dangerous light as he prepared to end Chen Li's life. For such a little brat, death was the only fitting outcome!
Chen Li closely monitored every move of the Bloodshadow Man and naturally sensed his murderous intent. In a moment of desperation, he bent his body and, with lightning speed, clung tightly to the Bloodshadow Man's thigh.
"Senior!" Chen Li cried out, forcing out a stream of snot that smeared across the Bloodshadow Man's blood-red robe. The force was such that it seemed he feared he wouldn’t stick properly.
Yet his voice remained sincere and mournful. "I have admired you for a long time! Senior, you are a god in my heart!"
The Bloodshadow Man nearly lost it from this sudden display. Disgusted, he tried to kick Chen Li away, but Chen Li held on tightly like a koala clinging to a tree, no matter how much he tried to shake him off.
"Senior, I heard you like powerful cultivators with Divine Soul strength? I have specifically gathered information on many powerful cultivators with strong Divine Souls! Please give me this opportunity!"
The Bloodshadow Man looked at Chen Li with skepticism, and the murderous intent in his eyes finally began to fade. After all, no one disliked hearing flattering words.
Especially, Chen Li mentioned that there is a powerful Cultivator from the Divine Soul. This is something that everyone in the Blood Fiend Sect is interested in.
Oh? Are you telling the truth? Why should I believe you?
Seeing that Bloodshadow Man was intrigued, Chen Li quickly seized the opportunity: Moreover, I am the favorite of the Imperial Academy. You know, those old geezers really like me! If I, Ji Xiao, were to do something, no one would doubt it!
He paused for a moment and continued: So, as long as you spare my life and let me serve you, I guarantee that I can help you take over the Imperial Academy and turn it into a new home for the Blood Fiend Sect! Ten—no, five! I can help you unify the empire in just five!
Bloodshadow Man's disdainful expression gradually shifted to one of deep contemplation. If what this kid said is true, then it indeed presents an opportunity. The Imperial Academy gathers the elite talents of the empire; if they could be destroyed and their resources seized, the Blood Fiend Sect would surely rise again. As for unifying the empire, that is not impossible!
With this thought, his murderous intent began to wane. Are you really telling the truth? He narrowed his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.
Absolutely! I swear to heaven that if I utter a single falsehood, may lightning strike me dead! Chen Li raised three fingers and vowed earnestly.
But inside, he was frantically cursing: Strike down this perverted demon!
Bloodshadow Man noticed nothing unusual; he turned his head to Shen Qingyue: Little girl, is what she said true?
Although Shen Qingyue didn’t know exactly what Chen Li was up to, whenever Chen Li pulled such stunts, it was usually part of his plan. Immediately, Shen Qingyue nodded in agreement and said: That's right! My brother is a genius at the Imperial Academy; even the dean thinks highly of him.
