Jun Changxiao, pinned against the wall, was dumbfounded.

He had clearly absorbed her soul into the vacuum cleaner—how could she suddenly counterattack? And in enhanced mode, she knocked away the flat nozzle with a single wave of her hand!

“That’s not right! Something’s wrong!”

Jun Changxiao calmed down and immediately merged his consciousness with the dust collector, discovering the bundle of strange attributes trapped inside. He collapsed: “Damn it, this isn’t a soul!”

Whether it was Number One, Number Two, or Number Three, the soul bodies absorbed all appeared as grassland green, definitely not this kind of pitch-black poison-like attribute.

Wait!

A toxic attribute?

Jun Changxiao instantly realized that the woman’s pained expression just now was perhaps due to poison flaring up. He thought an opportunity had come and used the modified vacuum cleaner to help her… suck out the toxins from her body, helping her… resolve the crisis?

“Based on current observations, it seems that’s the case.” the system said.

“…”

If he weren’t pinned down and unable to move, Gou Sheng would probably squat in a corner and viciously slap his own face.

Jun Changxiao, oh Jun Changxiao!

Not only did you fail to subdue her, you actually helped her resolve the toxins in her body!

Aren’t you stupid! Aren’t you foolish!

Jun Changxiao was ultimately the sect master of Wangu Sect, able to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him: “Were you poisoned? And it just happened to flare up?”

Rose Empress’s face remained cold: “You saw?”

“Nonsense.”

Jun Changxiao said lightly: “We’re in the same room. If I didn’t see, wouldn’t that make me blind?”

It must be said that before this strong woman with queenly aura, Gou Sheng performed very manly.

Rose Empress said: “And then?”

“There was very strong poison in your body that brought you immense pain. I couldn’t bear to watch, so I helped you resolve the poison.” Jun Changxiao said in a carefree manner.

Strictly speaking, he really did resolve the poison, though his initial purpose wasn’t that.

Rose Empress looked at him with suspicious eyes.

“If I’m not mistaken, the toxins in your body would torment you for a very long period. Now you can restrain me like nothing happened—do you still need to question it?” Jun Changxiao said.

“…”

Rose Empress released her hand, then sat on the bed, pointing to the vacuum cleaner he had on his back: “You used this thing to help me resolve the poison?”

Originally, each time it flared up, the poison lasted at least several hours, yet it suddenly disappeared from her body. There was only him in the room, so with a little thought, it was obvious.

“Correct.”

Jun Changxiao said: “This is the Ten Thousand Poisons Purifier, specifically designed to counter toxins.”

The system was truly impressed.

His bragging came out so naturally!

“Of course.”

Jun Changxiao continued: “My treasure is a bit overbearing. When purifying toxins, it brings harm to the poisoned person, so…”

Rose Empress finished his sentence for him: “After I recovered from my pained state, thinking you were harming me, I pinned you to the wall without asking questions.”

“Sigh.”

Jun Changxiao let out a long sigh: “If I had known that helping someone resolve danger would be misunderstood, I should have just pretended not to see it.”

In his heart, he thought: This woman not only has strong power but seemingly high intelligence too. How can I deal with her in the future!

“What’s this?”

Rose Empress teased: “You feel wronged?”

“…”

Jun Changxiao sat on the chair: “Being pinned by you once, my injuries have worsened. The duel in three days needs to be postponed to five days from now.”

He didn’t really want to duel her to determine victory—he had to find ways to stall for time, then find an opportunity to slip away.

Rose Empress walked over, placing one foot on the chair’s corner, smiling: “Don’t mention five days—five months, five years, even fifty years, I’ll wait for you. Do you know why?”

“…”

Jun Changxiao was startled.

This rhythm—could she be about to say a corny pickup line?

“Why?”

“Because…” Rose Empress said: “You are my servant.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao wanted to cry but had no tears: “Big sister, we have no grievances from the past or present. Why can’t you just let me leave!”

“I’ll let you go.”

Rose Empress said: “As long as you defeat me, you’ll immediately gain your freedom.”

“Good!”

Jun Changxiao’s gaze turned serious: “Five days from now, we’ll determine victory and defeat!”

The system teased: “Not investigating Soul Clan Continent anymore?”

“Investigate my ass!” Jun Changxiao roared hysterically in his heart: “I must defeat her!”

He’d had enough.

When the time came, even if he had to use his strongest trump card, so be it!

Rose Empress smiled: “I hope that after your injuries recover, you won’t disappoint me.”

Woman!

This one will not disappoint you!

Even if the Difficult to Retract Blade can’t handle you, I still have contribution points, I still have the advanced shop. Even if I exhaust my entire fortune, I’ll defeat you to restore a man’s dignity!

“I like this!” the system said with delight.

Though Jun Changxiao was furious inside, his surface remained very calm: “If I lose, I become your servant. What if you lose? You should have something at stake too, right?”

“I won’t lose.”

“But what if you do lose?”

“There is no ‘what if.'”

“…”

Jun Changxiao felt that he was confident enough, but this woman was even more confident than him. Truly, there’s always a higher mountain, always someone stronger!

“How about this.”

Rose Empress added: “If you lose, you become my servant. If I lose, I become your master.”

“Is there any damn difference!” Jun Changxiao roared.

“Swoosh!”

Rose Empress grabbed his collar: “Boy, do you know that those who want to be my servant could fill an entire city? That I would personally take you as my servant—you should feel extremely fortunate!”

Because they were so close, the rich rose fragrance wafted over.

“Stop pulling this nonsense.”

Jun Changxiao was completely unmoved by the fragrant scent: “If I lose, I become your servant. If you lose, you become my… maidservant!”

“Keke keke!”

Rose Empress released her grip, covering her mouth as she laughed so hard her body shook.

This boy had quite the audacity to have the idea of making her his maidservant.

“Don’t dare to bet?” Jun Changxiao said.

Rose Empress leaned close, whispering in his ear: “Little White, I’ll give you five days to learn how to be a good servant.”

Jun Changxiao nearly coughed up blood.

Since crossing over, when had he ever been bullied so brazenly!

“Do you dare or not!”

“Fine.”

Rose Empress pulled back, crossing her arms: “If you lose, you become my servant. If I lose, I become your maidservant.”

“A gentleman’s word!”

“Is swift as a galloping horse!”

“Good!”

At this point, the wager between the two was formally established.

“System!”

Jun Changxiao asked: “How many contribution points are you still sitting on!”

“One hundred thousand!” the system said.

Jun Changxiao laughed coldly in his heart: “For this maidservant, even if I have to bankrupt myself, I’ll take her down! Of course, being a maidservant is somewhat beneath her talents—I could bring her back to Xingyun Continent to be a Hall Master.”

Gou Sheng had taken a liking to Rose Empress.

Of course, not to her appearance, nor her figure, but to her formidable strength. If he could subjugate her, Wangu Sect would have a powerful enforcer.

“Here.”

Rose Empress tossed over a spatial ring: “You helped me resolve the poison. This is your reward.”

Jun Changxiao didn’t catch it, letting the spatial ring drop at his feet.

Damn it!

Using the word ‘reward’ to describe it—does she see herself as a lofty empress, or does she really consider me a servant!

Rose Empress said: “Inside are ten thousand of the spirit stones I just used to pay at the counter.”

“Swoosh!”

Jun Changxiao quickly picked up the spatial ring, his expression showing righteous indignation as he cupped his fists: “Many thanks!”
