Ji Mingyue stared into Han Liâs eyes, her voice grave.
She had thought about it all night, and ultimately decided to agree to Han Liâs proposal. If she was going to become Han Liâs Dao companion, she would just be it.
If Zimiao could do it, she, Ji Mingyue, could do it too!
However, Ji Mingyue had her conditions; she didnât want to be undervalued and demanded the same treatment as Zimiao, who, she noticed, was living a good life on Chengsheng Mountain.
âAgreed,â Han Li nodded.
Ji Mingyueâs response hadnât been unexpected to himâthe proud Heavenly Immortal fairy ultimately bowed her haughty head to Han Li.
Considering the height difference between Ji Mingyue and Han Li, it seemed she would be at just the right height if she kneeled before him.
Ji Mingyue, after all, was a female Saint of the mid-stage Sacred Abyss realm, ranked twenty-seventh on the Heavenly Immortal list. Her cultivation was not only higher than Zimiaoâs but her ranking was as well.
If Ji Mingyue was willing to become his Dao companion voluntarily, Han Li would not treat her any less favorably than Zimiao. What Zimiao had, Ji Mingyue would have as well.
Of course, this referred to the things that Han Li had promised Zimiao; anything Zimiao later obtained on her own merit was not included, as those were earned by her own abilities.
Upon hearing these words, Ji Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. A brilliantly beautiful smile emerged on her flawless visage, outshining the morning sun and making all else look drab in comparison.
Han Li turned his gaze to the cold and proud Yuan Youwei, asking, âWhat about you, Yuan Youwei?â
âHeh~â
Yuan Youwei let out a cold laugh, ignoring Han Liâs question and instead spoke to Ji Mingyue: âJi Mingyue, youâve disappointed me.â
Ji Mingyue had not followed her plans, which greatly annoyed Yuan Youwei, causing her to lose a significant bargaining chip, leaving her somewhat helpless.
âYuan Youwei, youâre not yet qualified to speak about me,â Ji Mingyue retorted without giving an inch.
Half a month ago, Yuan Youwei took advantage of her higher cultivation to bully her, which had really irked Ji Mingyue;
Now, both of them had fallen into Han Liâs hands, their cultivation and strength completely sealed. Ji Mingyue still held herself in high regard, looking down on her, which irritated her even more.
If she was irritated, then she wouldnât indulge Yuan Youwei.
Now that she had become Han Liâs Dao companion, she no longer needed to worry about Zimiao targeting her. Instead, she could think of ways to target Yuan Youwei, believing Han Li would turn a blind eye.
âHmph~â
After being rebuffed by Ji Mingyue, Yuan Youwei snorted coldly and stopped paying her any attention. She looked at Han Li and said, âIâm not against the idea of becoming your Dao companion, Han Li. Either defeat me without relying on external forces or give me a Heavenly Immortal weapon. Fulfilling either condition would suffice.â
âYou must be dreaming,â Han Li replied, his expression unchanged.
Seeing that Yuan Youwei was indulging in daydreams, Han Li decided to wake her up and let her keep dreaming alone.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Han Li then left Cloud View Terrace with Ji Mingyue, leaving Yuan Youwei behind.
âPhew~â
It was a while after Han Li and Ji Mingyue had left when Yuan Youwei finally exhaled, feeling considerably relaxed.
She had deliberately set those two conditions to trouble Han Li, knowing he couldnât meet them. He wouldnât be able to defeat her, nor would he give her the only Heavenly Immortal weapon he had.
As long as she could provoke Han Li sufficiently, he would not dare to touch her lightly, and she could still retain her intactness.
Unlike the foolish woman Ji Mingyue who, for the sake of fleeting benefits, chose to live on her knees and become Han Liâs Dao companionâhow lowly.
Atop Chengdao Peak.
Han Li and Ji Mingyue stood there, Ji Mingyue wrapped in his embrace, her delicate body trembling, but she did not struggle.
Feeling the strong masculine scent, Ji Mingyue took a deep breath and asked, âHan Li, what are your plans for Yuan Youwei?â
She was curious to know what fate would befall Yuan Youwei.
Ji Mingyue did not believe that Yuan Youwei could provoke Han Li into inaction. Han Li was not some naive youngster; he was deeply scheming and cunning.
âMingyue, you will find out soon enough,â Han Li smiled and didnât elaborate.
But he had already sentenced Yuan Youwei in his heart.
If you will not become my Dao companion, then become my female slave!
Indeed, Han Li had directly demoted Ji Mingyue from the status of Dao companion to that of a female slave, not even considering her for the position of a secondary wife or servant concubine.
This was the path Ji Mingyue had chosen for herself, so she would have to kneel and accept Han Liâs punishment.
He had not yet experienced punishing a Quasi Emperor female slave, but once he married Ji Mingyue, he could set an example for Yuan Youwei.
Grand Ancestor Hanâs lessons were profound, so Yuan Youweiâs lesson would certainly be a deep one.
âNever mind then,â Ji Mingyue hummed softly, pretending to be annoyed while her heart actually pounded with excitement, as this was her first time being so close with someone of the opposite sex.
Han Li immediately transformed into a romantic, cooing sweet nothings that cheered Ji Mingyue up, showing how skilled Grand Ancestor Han was at courtship.
Ji Mingyue endured silently, her normally pale skin like fine jade somehow taking on a light blush, her entire body flushed with the same hue, even to her earlobes.
Han Li, that lustful man, didnât hesitate to get frisky even before she had married into his household, leading to Ji Mingyueâs breathing becoming more rapid.
When Han Liâs exploration moved from the peaks and valleys to her flat belly, preparing to venture further, Ji Mingyue suddenly grabbed his large hand and shook her head at him.
Han Li chose to respect Ji Mingyueâs wishes and did not proceed further, simply cuddling with the stunning beauty in his arms, their cheeks brushing against each otherâs.
As emotions deepened, Han Li instinctively lowered his head, and Ji Mingyue voluntarily closed her eyes, silently savoring the moment.
She thought to herself that this didnât seem too bad.
When it was all over, having successfully claimed Ji Mingyueâs soft lips, a smile
