N-M Chapter 786 Don't be too rigid about gender
Chapter 786 Don't be too rigid about gender
Those words were like a heavy hammer blow, shattering the last remaining glimmer of hope in Ji Luoxin's heart.
She stood frozen in place, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably. Her usually arrogant and seemingly insightful eyes were now filled with nothing but endless absurdity and regret.
Looking at the man before her, who possessed dark golden dragon wings and seemed invincible like a god, the sense of superiority she felt as the "heir of the founding family" seemed so ridiculous and so insignificant amidst the suffocating smell of blood.
"Fourth Elder... How could the Fourth Elder be so foolish..."
She murmured to herself, tears streaming down her once beautiful face like a burst dam, leaving streaks on the dusty red carpet.
Even now, she still finds the Fourth Elder, who led the Ji family into the abyss of destruction, absurd.
However, she hated herself even more.
She hated herself for being attracted to this man's domineering divine source when they first met on the StarNet, which led to that morbid desire; she hated herself even more for not bringing the entire Ji family to completely submit from the beginning, but instead bringing this group of self-righteous fools to "test" his bottom line.
"I've chosen to be your woman... Please, spare the others... is that alright?"
Ji Luoxin clenched her teeth, her throat feeling as if it were filled with bitter sand.
The pride of being a prince was shattered in that moment. She lowered her head humbly and, with all her might, cried out, "Master!"
That cry of "Master" was broken, filled with despair.
However, what she received in return was Lin Qiye's icy, devoid of any warmth.
Lin Qiye leaned down slightly, extended his slender fingers, and with a gentle yet absolute control, forcefully lifted Ji Luoxin's chin.
His dark purple eyes reflected her poignant and beautiful appearance at this moment.
"It seems you still haven't figured out the situation."
Lin Qiye spoke coldly, his voice like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, instantly freezing every speck of dust in the air:
"Who do you think you are to negotiate with me?"
"You've identified yourself as a negotiator, but forgotten your current role—"
Lin Qiye abruptly released his grip, letting Ji Luoxin fall helplessly to the ground.
He turned away, his back to the trembling survivors of the Ji family, his voice as cold as if he were judging a flock of lambs about to be slaughtered:
"Everyone here, including you, Ji Changyue, and all the assets your Ji family brought, are now my private property."
"Since it's private property, I can do whatever I want with it. I can kill it or release it as I please."
"What makes you think you have the right to exchange my spoils for your cheap kindness?"
"Master..." Ji Luoxin looked at that back figure and felt dizzy. The powerlessness of being completely stripped of her dignity made her almost faint.
Standing to the side, Jiang Lingyun was like a cold sculpture, but her clear eyes burned with fervor.
This is her master!
Whether it's the Jiang family with its deep-rooted heritage or the Ji family with its lofty status, they are both suppressed in front of him!
Looking at Lin Qiye's godlike figure, Jiang Lingyun felt a surge of powerlessness.
This gap is like that between stars and dust.
Although she receives divine blessings every day, she always feels that the gap between herself and her master is getting bigger and bigger!
"If you don't say anything, I'll assume you've chosen the first option."
Lin Qiye's indifferent voice broke the silence in the air.
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man with a tall and straight figure and an aura that had reached the level of a half-step Martial God struggled to stand up from the crowd, his face pale.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, yet he strained to straighten his spine. His still somewhat immature face was now etched with unease and a desperate "hope."
Upon seeing this, the pupils of the surviving members of the Ji family instantly contracted.
Especially the young women of the Ji family, who were already ashen-faced with fear, suddenly felt a faint spark of hope ignite in their eyes when they saw that someone dared to stand up.
They stared intently at the man, as if he were their only lifeline.
However, the young man's next words plunged the entire room into silence.
He took a step forward, his voice trembling, yet carrying a strange sense of humility and ingratiation: "M-Sir, what about us?"
Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Of course you're going to mine on the mining planet."
The young man knelt down directly in front of Lin Qiye:
"My lord! Actually... actually, we shouldn't be too rigid about gender... as long as you're willing to give us a chance..."
Lin Qiye immediately looked puzzled and casually waved his hand:
"Jiang Lingyun, take him away, and all the remaining men too. Send them to the mining planet immediately!"
"Yes, Master!"
Upon hearing her master's command, Jiang Lingyun immediately took action and captured the man who had just spoken!
"My lord! My lord, I really can do it! My lord!!!"
……
Soon, all the men were taken away.
Lin Qiye's deep gaze fell on the remaining survivors of the Ji family.
"Come, those who are willing to submit."
Ji Luoxin clenched her teeth, and a complex struggle and determination flashed in her originally proud peach blossom eyes.
Under such oppressive pressure that could make one's soul tremble, any so-called dignity seemed pale and powerless.
She took a deep breath and walked resolutely toward Lin Qiye.
In that instant, all the female attendants of the Ji family around them changed their expressions drastically, their eyes filled with panic.
Lin Qiye gently raised his slender fingertips, and a wisp of golden-red light meandered and flowed between his fingers as if it were alive.
"Buzz—!"
Under Lin Qiye's indifferent gaze, that wisp of pure divine energy instantly entered Ji Luoxin's body.
"what……"
Ji Luoxin felt her brain buzzing, and a warm current originating from the deepest part of her life instantly swept over her entire body.
Her face, which had been as pale as paper, regained its color at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming even more radiant and translucent than before, and she radiated a holy and enchanting aura.
This is the divine source!
This is the fundamental reason why she was willing to pay any price, even if it meant being questioned by the family elders, to secure this opportunity for investigation!
Feeling the surging, powerful force within her body, Ji Luoxin's tears flowed again.
But this was no longer fear, but rather the ecstatic joy that brought tears to my eyes.
This scene was witnessed by all the women of the Ji family behind them.
Their previously tense bodies completely relaxed.
That's the temptation of leaping to a higher level of life!
That was an unparalleled blessing that allowed these powerful individuals, who were at the bottleneck in their martial arts, to break through the barrier in one fell swoop!
What about the dignity of the founding family?
What arrogance of the Celestial Dragons?
At this moment, seeing Ji Luoxin's transformed appearance, all the women's eyes turned greedy.
