Feeling the tremble of the delicate body in his embrace, Han Li continued speaking, each sentence driving Jiang Baiye deeper into despair.
After a moment of thought, Jiang Baiye understood why her master, Jian
Ziyun, had followed her. Her master meant well, but it had spoiled everything.
She hadn’t told her master about her plan to seek out Han Li, but she had expected that, should she go missing, her master would investigate and the trail would lead to Han Li. This was her trump card, intended to threaten Han Li.
But now her trump card was gone, even her master had been captured by Han Li, and her earlier threats seemed laughably feeble.
Thinking back to her previous threats and how Han Li had remained silent, Jiang Baiye felt a wave of embarrassment and shame. Was Han Li, that bastard, just watching her make a fool of herself just now?
Now that both she and her master were in Han Li’s hands, he had no risk of his identity being exposed. Her confidence was completely drained and she didn’t know how to face his coercion any longer.
Feeling the abnormality in the beauty within his arms, Han Li knew he had guessed correctly; this Guru in the Void Realm was indeed Jiang Baiye’s master.
What a pity, Jiang Baiye’s master wasn’t a beautiful female cultivator, otherwise, he would have considered keeping both master and disciple.
“Jiang Baiye, you wouldn’t want your master to die right before your eyes, would you?”
“Jiang Baiye, you wouldn’t want to be dishonored in front of your master, would you?”
“Jiang Baiye, your master is right here, and if I were to do something to you…”
Recalling the scene of Jiang Baiye threatening him, Han Li used her own tone of voice to turn her words against her.
Jiang Baiye pursed her red lips, wanting to scold this bastard loudly, but seeing her master lying unconscious before her, she found herself unable to speak the words.
Although this bastard was shameless, he was indeed cruel and perfectly capable of doing such things.
“Surely the Sect Leader was notified by the master before he left. If we go missing or die, the Sect Leader will definitely trouble you, and your identity will still be exposed.”
Jiang Baiye struggled to speak, but even she lacked confidence in her own words.
She Imew that it was nearly impossible for her master to notify the Sect Leader before leaving the sect; there was no need. If Han Li had killed her master and captured her, it might take some time before the Sect Leader realized. By then it would be too late for the Sect Leader to investigate, as Han Li would have fled to Yuanzhou.
And with the Canghai Sect lacking a Sect Heir and a Guru in the Void Realm, it would have a very negative impact. Other forces would take advantage of the vulnerability, making the Canghai Sect even more endangered.
Her purpose in coming was to retrieve the Body-Cultivating Furnace to help stabilize the Canghai Sect, not to hasten its downfall.
“Do you believe that?” Han Li sneered.
“You seem to have overlooked the most crucial point, which is that strength is all that matters.”
“Before the Canghai Sect Leader discovers anything, I could ally with the Ji Feng Hall, eliminate him, and without a Sect Leader, could your Canghai Sect still stand? Your master will also die here.’
Considering the situation described by Han Li, Jiang Baiye felt completely hopeless.
She knew such a thing was very likely to happen; Han Li would surely do so to eliminate any uncertainties.
Having intimidated Jiang Baiye, Han Li decided to take a dual approach, so he sweetened his tone and dangled a carrot before her.
“Baiye, if you follow me wholeheartedly, I will marry you properly and give you the status of a wife. You will not be treated unfairly in the least.”
“Your aptitude is excellent, but the Canghai Sect is too small to nurture you to the Myriad Phenomena Realm. However, if you follow me, reaching the Myriad Phenomena Realm would be effortless, and even breaking through to the True
Martial Realm is possible in the future.”
“The Body-Cultivating Furnace can be taken back, your master won’t die, the Canghai Sect Leader won’t die, the Canghai Sect won’t be destroyed, and you’ll be able to advance to the Myriad Phenomena Realm and the True Martial Realm. Don’t you think that’s wonderful?”
“When you’ve reached the True Martial Realm in the future, you can also give back to the Canghai Sect, helping your master ascend to the Myriad Phenomena Realm. Even Da Qian wouldn’t dare to touch the Canghai Sect, and becoming the First Sect of Da Qian is just around the corner…”
“All of this requires just a slight nod from you, and everything can be yours. All of it lies within a single thought of yours.”
Gently holding Jiang Baiye, Han Li didn’t move further but spoke tenderly into her ear.
Feeling Jiang Baiye’s body tremble, Han Li sighed inwardly. He did not wish to coerce a beauty into submission with threats and bribes, but how else would a woman of such exceptional caliber agree to marry him?
With the strength he’d shown to the outside world, he could easily take numerous beauties of lesser talent as concubines, but high-quality female cultivators were much harder to acquire.
Previously, he had no choice but to be a diligent farmer toiling away at enriching his land. Now that his power had grown, he had options.
Let the descendents be the diligent farmers. Han Li began to pursue high-quality female cultivators, focusing on quality over quantity.
He wanted everything in one go—not only to take high -quality female cultivators as wives but also to win their hearts. Otherwise, what difference would there be between them, with their sealed cultivation, and those concubines who threw themselves at his door?
If they couldn’t assist Han Li in other ways and only served as tools for producing offspring, why would Han Li go to great lengths to capture these high-quality female cultivators?
“Alas, when will high -quality female cultivators actively pursue him and throw themselves at him?”
Han Li sighed again but knew such a thing was highly unlikely to happen, at least not in the coming decades.
The level of cultivation he had shown was not enough to make these high-quality female cultivators willingly come to him as wives or concubines.
Female cultivators with great talent, high beauty, reputation, and cultivation levels were all proud and haughty. They wouldn’t resort to this unless absolutely necessary unless Han Li had way too much to offer.
Jiang Baiye remained silent the entire time, her delicate body trembling. Looking at her unconscious master lying before her, and thinking of the potential destruction of the Canghai Sect because of her, she was very tempted to agree.
Perhaps agreeing was indeed a good choice.
Just as Han Li described, everything would become beautiful if she just agreed.
It was just that doing so would cost her freedom, tying her spirit and body to Han Li. Therefore, Jiang Baiye was torn, with two voices in her head relentlessly debating the pros and cons.
“Now, speak your choice!”
Not giving Jiang Baiye too much time to think, Han Li knew that such matters had to be struck while the iron was hot. He turned her around to face him and said calmly as he gazed into her eyes.
Jiang Baiye looked into Han Li’s eyes, pursed her red lips, and eventually lowered her head, whispering four words in an almost inaudible voice.
A smile instantly appeared on Han Li’s face.
The Sword Immortal, Jiang Baiye, once let go by him, had now fallen into his hands again. After some maneuvers, he ultimately compelled Jiang Baiye to agree.
Although she didn’t have feelings for him at the moment, after they were intimate and she carried his child, he believed her mindset would gradually change.
Given some time, Han Li was confident he could fully capture Jiang Baiye’s heart.
After all, once Jiang Baiye agreed, she understood that it was inevitable, and she had no room for regret..
