Does Chapter 340 have a name?
"I'm glad I could help you, Master. How could I possibly ask for any reward?"
Upon seeing this, Qiu Lexuan quickly shook her head and refused.
He had originally intended to use this Moon Shadow Fox to curry favor with Zhang Lingyu and save his life. If he accepted the gift, wouldn't the debt be settled?
Zhang Lingyu had already seen through this little scheme. She herself might not be able to handle the various crises that were about to unfold, so how could she be distracted by saving her?
If anyone is to be saved, it should be the family first.
In order to avoid getting involved in any more karma, Qiu Lexuan had no choice but to accept it under his strong insistence.
Clutching the heavy storage bag in his hand, he sighed inwardly, his gaze turning to the woman in the white dress beside him with a complex mix of emotions, a feeling of reluctance welling up inside him.
Although it was just a spirit pet, a bond had developed over the decades they spent together.
Without her, I wouldn't be able to hold onto this position as the Valley Master.
As they parted, Qiu Lexuan unusually whispered, "I know you hate me. I've beaten and scolded you for decades, but there's one thing I've never wronged you about: without those massive amounts of spiritual items and elixirs, where would you be today?"
"If it weren't for me, it would have been Tu Xuan who bought you back then. You should know what the consequences would have been. And don't forget how many people have asked me for you over the years, and I have refused them all."
"Although you have a new master now, your duty remains the same. Now that you are by the side of the True Man, you must serve him well."
The woman in the white dress remained unmoved by these words, her face showing even more resentment.
"Isn't it a bit too late to play the emotional card at this point..." Zhang Lingyu shook her head to herself.
It's true that Qiu Lexuan saved Yueyinghu, but there's no need to torment her body and mind for decades to satisfy her twisted fetish.
If they had taken good care of it, would we have ended up like this?
After returning to the valley to heal his injuries, he turned his gaze to the woman in the white dress before him and asked softly, "Do you have a name?"
"I don't have a name, just call me Moonshadow." The woman turned her head to the side and answered coldly.
If someone else had heard that tone, they would have been furious.
How dare a mere spirit pet speak to its master like that?
Zhang Lingyu didn't care. The soul tablet was in his own hands; how could he be afraid of her causing trouble? After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said:
"Now that you have escaped your former prison, you should have a new name. You are a member of the Moon Shadow Fox Clan, so why not call yourself Ling Shuang?"
"Ling Shuang..."
The woman turned her head sharply, repeatedly muttering the name, and after a long while, she nodded in agreement.
Judging from the upturned corners of his mouth, he must be very satisfied with the name.
However, the necessary vigilance has not diminished at all.
Zhang Lingyu smiled and continued, "Ling Shuang... I know what you're afraid of. Don't worry, I don't have the same violent tendencies as Qiu Lexuan, nor will I treat you like a plaything or a vessel, like others do."
Upon hearing this, Ling Shuang looked up at the man in blue in front of her in disbelief. Seeing his serious expression, which didn't seem like he was lying, tears welled up in her eyes.
Her delicate body trembled violently. After a long while, she finally suppressed her emotions, curtsied, and said, "Ling Shuang...thank you, Master."
The next second, she asked the question that had been on her mind:
"Since my master doesn't covet my body or want to use me as a vessel, why did he take me in the first place?"
Ever since Qiu Lexuan bought her and brought her back to the valley, every cultivator in the valley has looked at her with eyes full of greed. .
I don't know how many times I contacted the other party privately during that period.
Offer to buy at a high price.
But they were all rejected.
It wasn't that Qiu Lexuan was kind and reluctant to part with her, but rather that she thought the price was too low. If she really encountered someone willing to spend money and with strong financial backing, she would sell her without hesitation.
Just like today, under pressure from Zhang Lingyu and wanting to please her as much as possible, he handed her over.
"Since you asked, I'll be frank. I was there at the auction, and I felt a pang of pity for you when I saw how pitiful you looked."
Zhang Lingyu's expression remained unchanged as he continued:
"Pity is only a small part of it. What I value most is your bloodline and strength... You are currently at the peak of the fourth rank, and it won't be long before you break through to the Demon King realm, which will be of great help to me."
"I will be leaving Zhao to travel in the future, and I need a loyal and reliable person by my side. That is my purpose."
The reason is simple: the Moon Shadow Demon Emperor was able to dominate the Wanling Mountain Range back then, which shows that his strength was extraordinary!
As a member of the Moon Shadow Fox Clan, and given that most of her members are of the same bloodline, if Ling Shuang is properly nurtured, becoming a Demon King is a certainty.
They might even break through to the Demon Emperor realm in the future!
After the turmoil in Chu and the demon race of Wanling Mountain ended, it was inevitable that he would leave Zhao to travel, and he would need a helper to accompany him.
Alternatively, placing Ling Shuang in the clan to guard the area would put my mind at ease.
I was already tempted at the auction, but unfortunately I didn't have enough money for the dowry, so I had to give up.
This is a rare opportunity; how can we let it slip by?
"I see... Ling Shuang understands what Master means." The light in the woman's pupils dimmed instantly, and her mouth tasted extremely bitter.
That's how monks are; they won't ask for things from you for no reason.
But on second thought, not being greedy for beauty and virginity is already the best outcome.
Isn't this just what I've been thinking about day and night?
Following a Golden Core cultivator is better than following a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Besides, as I just mentioned, he will help me break through to the Demon King realm with all my might.
"With power, I can avenge my grandfather and the entire clan... Burning Feather, Nine Spirits, just you wait!"
The thought of this filled Ling Shuang's pretty face with resentment, and her bewitching eyes seemed to spit fire.
This face, when seen by Zhang Lingyu, made him fall silent for a moment before softly saying:
"Your desire to avenge your entire clan is admirable, and I will not stop you. However, you are not strong enough, and you should bide your time for now."
"Master is right, Ling Shuang understands." These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly sobering the woman up, and she nodded slightly in response.
After a conversation between master and servant, Ling Shuang gradually opened up and talked about many things from the past.
This also proves that she is slowly beginning to accept the person in front of her as her master.
Nearly an hour later, a point of azure light flew rapidly toward him from afar. Zhang Lingyu squinted to sense it, then flew into the air to greet it.
This person is none other than Master Xuanshui, who went to pursue Lin Miaoxiang!
Seeing his gloomy expression and the many tears in his robes, he understood that Master Xuan Shui had failed to stop the other party.
He even suffered some injuries himself.
"Senior Xuan Shui, how is the situation?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it, that bitch got away!"
Upon hearing this, Master Xuan Shui's face darkened even more, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "That bitch got a top-quality talisman from somewhere and almost damaged my natal magic weapon."
"I was worried about damaging my magic weapon, so I had to slow down my attack. But they seized the opportunity and escaped. What bad luck!"
"Senior, please calm down. As long as the magic weapon and yourself are unharmed, it's already quite good. In any case, we've already achieved our goal."
Zhang Lingyu smiled; this result was roughly what he had expected. He pointed to the valley below and continued:
"Senior, please look! The Flower Fragrance Valley Formation has fallen into our hands intact!"
