Chapter 867 I Just Want Brother Shen To Carry Me In His Heart

Then, once again the cultivation essence giant hand materialized again from Ling Tian and grabbed the young master Guiyan.

"N-no! F-forgive me! Please! I beg you! D-don't kill me! I-I will give you all the women and wealth you want! I-I'll give a-all my women if you want them! I-I can get you anyone you want! All my money and power!" The young master Guiyan, unable to move and knowing he was about to face the worst, despair overwhelmed him and he screamed in terror.

But the young master Guiyan was thrown in front of Mu Shen directly with Ling Tian not caring.

"Decide what you want to do with him, brother. And wait for me here, I'll be back in a few minutes."

Ling Tian's casual voice was directed towards Mu Shen and the women as he walked quietly to the Guiyan family residence.

"If you think of forgiving, remember that you have to be prepared for tomorrow when he comes for revenge, guys like him never change and will hold the slightest resentment for you even after death... this world is not like your home, this place belongs to the strong and to eliminate problems you have to uproot them from the root, if you are soft and gentle to the enemy today, you will be being cruel and merciless to yourself tomorrow."

When the voice had barely finished and Ling Tian's figure disappeared, instantly the heads of Guiyan Han and his father hit the ground as well.

Both had been decapitated in the blink of an eye!

Silence increasingly ruled the place, no one daring to leave knowing that such a terrifying expert was still near them even if they couldn't see him.

"Brother Tian..." Mu Shen muttered somewhat dumbfounded as he watched Ling Tian's back disappear, remembering his words and repeating them several times.

Mu Shen was not stupid, much less naive. After experiencing this short time in this place, he realized many things different from his home, the world of the divine star continent.

Mu Shen's gaze fell on young master Guiyan's terrified and desperate face.

"B-brother... big brother! Spare my life! I swear I will never go against you again!"

The young master Guiyan began to speak in fear and despair as he saw Mu Shen's gaze fall upon him, knowing that his life was now in his hands, so he did not hesitate and shouted with all his might as he pointed at Qin Xuzi, "You want that woman! Then she's yours! No problem! You don't have to pay me anything! You can take her! Or if you want more women I can get them for you! I have several beautiful concubines if you are not satisfied with her! Or do you want my money? Yeah! I'll give you all my money!"

The young master Guiyan began to prostrate himself in supplication, shifting his gaze over Mu Shen to Qin Xuzi, and then to Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling when he saw no response from Mu Shen.

The eyes of Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling were cold and icy, looking at him with hatred and irreparable enmity.

Qin Xuzi could not help but tighten the blanket covering her, feeling somewhat afraid when the gaze of the young master Guiyan fell on her. Memories of a few moments ago when he tried to force himself upon her were fresh in her memory.

"Sister Xuzi is not an object!"

Mu Shen became angry and clenched his fist, landing a punch on young master Guiyan's face.

"N-no! Don't kill me! Please! I beg you! I-I'll be your slave or whatever you want! I'll get the women you want for you!" The young master Guiyan cried out again in pain and despair.

His cultivation at the foundation establishment stage was ineffective in the face of Mu Shen's power as it was sealed by Ling Tian, knowing that it was useless to try to resist and escape. At this moment he was just as weak as a mere mortal.

Mu Shen clenched his fist even tighter as he saw the look of this man about 30 years old in appearance, all unkempt and somewhat fat. He could not help but take a step towards him to beat him again.

Several times Mu Shen spared enemies who had attacked them before, letting them escape when he saw how remorseful they were, having the same expression that the young master Guiyan was showing at this moment.

But in the following days, these enemies would come back again and this time, with more followers or helpers to kill them. Even some were just looking for trouble with them because they had fallen in love with Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling, and wanted to have them under their control.

Were it not for their high level of cultivation, Mu Shen was aware that the story would be different and his wives would suffer the worst.

A feeling of disgust arose in Mu Shen, as if he could finally somehow see the arrogance, the contempt, the fury, the murderous intent behind young master Guiyan's terrified and desperate eyes.

If he really forgave this guy, there was a small chance that in the future this guy would again seek trouble with him and his wives, which Mu Shen could not risk.

Although he did not want to become like those heartless cultivators he has seen, who kill without any regret in their soul and think of the lives of others who are weak as ants, Mu Shen had no choice but to do so.

This world belonged to the strong, just as Ling Tian had said!

Advancing towards the young master Guiyan, Mu Shen took the sword in his hand and pointed it towards him.

"N-no!" Young master Guiyan saw Mu Shen approaching him again and began to shout.

"W-wait! If you kill me, that bitch will die!"

Suddenly, young master Guiyan screamed fiercely as he pointed at Qin Xuzi behind Mu Shen. His expression seemed to find relief as the despair subsided to a great extent.

"What do you mean?" Mu Shen frowned and had a bad feeling listening to him.

"I-I mean, if you kill me, she will die too!" Young master Guiyan raised his hand and a strange symbol appeared on his palm.

Mu Shen frowned at the sight of this symbol, not understanding what it meant.

"This is a master and slave contract! And if the master is killed, the slave will undoubtedly die too!"

As if he knew that Mu Shen was unaware of the meaning of the symbol, the young master Guiyan quickly explained in a few words while trying to think of possible exits from the place and what he would do next.

Finally he remembered that he had this contract with himself! This contract was set up by his father, and although he could not remove or modify it, he could still seriously hurt Qin Xuzi to death!

His main goal was to escape and take back control of the Guiyan family, at least regain the main inheritance before hiding in obscurity and finding a powerful sponsor.

Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling were stunned to hear and looked at Qin Xuzi.

Qin Xuzi lowered her head and immediately uncovered part of her chest, slightly exposing her attractive but soft and slightly small breasts.

But when Mu Shen gazed, his pupils shrank when he noticed the same symbol that young master Guiyan had on his palm above Qin Xuzi's heart area.

"It's a high-level master and slave contract involving the souls, passed down in generation after generation of the Guiyan family! Not even a great ascension expert could undo it without killing one of the two sides! But which part will live and which part will die? Hahaha!"

Seeing the worried expressions of Mu Shen and the women, the young master Guiyan could not help but laugh cruelly. This was his last trump card to escape alive!

"With a single thought I can decide his life!"

Even the experts of the great ascension realm could not undo the slave contract, as it involved the souls of both parties.

And Qin Xuzi, being a mortal without cultivation, was one hundred percent that she would die directly if the contract is forcibly removed. Unless Qin Xuzi cultivated deeply and overcame his own cultivation, but it was impossible, so then she could only remain bound to him.

As long as he could escape alive from here, it would not be late to seek revenge in the future!

"If I smash you without letting you die, then Xuzi won't die!"

Mu Shen clenched his teeth in time with his fists, advancing towards young master Guiyan while restraining his impulses of wanting to kill him!

He had heard a little about this kind of master and servant contracts involving their souls. As long as a contract is formed, only the master has the right and authority to release the slave if he allows it. But if the slave reveals themselves or a third party attempts to break the contract, the slave will unfortunately die.

That is why even great experts also cannot break this contract, especially because a slightest carelessness would damage the slave's consciousness sea, and in the case of Qin Xuzi, she might die as she has not cultivated in her lifetime. There were already records that powerful experts had tried but inevitably the slaves died.

There was no certainty that the young master Guiyan might decide at the last moment to kill Qin Xuzi, which would be inevitable.

Mu Shen was also not sure if Ling Tian could save Qin Xuzi despite having a high level of cultivation.

"Brother Shen, stop!"

Before Mu Shen's outstretched arm grabbed young master Guiyan, Qin Xuzi's frightened voice stopped him.

Mu Shen was stunned and turned to look at Qin Xuzi in confusion. Similarly, Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling also looked at Qin Xuzi in confusion.

"Sister Xuzi?" Mu Shen was stunned to see Qin Xuzi stopped him.

"D-don't do it, brother Shen... I don't want you to get blood on your hands because of me!" Qin Xuzi cried out in worry at the sight of Mu Shen.

Mu Shen was confused, of all of them Qin Xuzi should be the one with the most hatred and grudge against young master Guiyan.

With strength returning to her, Qin Xuzi's small and weak body stood up and walked towards Mu Shen. Her arms reached out and embraced Mu Shen bravely.

"I-I don't want you to regret in the future because of me!" Qin Xuzi cried sadly as she buried her face in his chest, not caring about her own life and only focusing on Mu Shen's future.

"Sister Xuzi, I-I..."

"Let me do it! I don't want you to have doubts in your heart for me!"

Qin Xuzi shook her head and interrupted Mu Shen. Her gaze lifted and looked into Mu Shen's eyes. A soft smile full of love and affection formed on her face.

"I know that brother Shen is a great man who will reach the peak of heaven in the future, while I am just a simple servant girl who was graced and blessed to have met you and sisters Wenxin, Xie and Ling, and saved and helped me a lot. I am already happy and can die without regrets knowing that you came to rescue me..."

Qin Xuzi looked lovingly at Mu Shen, she stretched out with her weak feet placing herself on her tiptoes and kissed Mu Shen's cheek affectionately.

"I just want brother Shen to carry me in his heart, then I can die without any regrets."

Qin Xuzi understood perfectly that in order to be able to cultivate and become a powerful being, one had to have one's mind quiet and calm, something which she did not want for Mu Shen.

This man she had met a short time ago after he had saved her from dying from the wild beasts, entered her little heart with his love and care. He saved her, he protected her, he healed the scars and wounds on her face, body and especially of her heart.

Simply put, Qin Xuzi had had the small hope that the young master Guiyan would forget about her thinking she was dead, thus, the master and slave contract would be forgotten forever. But it was just an illusion.

Qin Xuzi looked gratefully at Hu Wenxin, Deng Xie and Fu Ling with a gentle smile. These sisters did not mistreat or belittle her either, on the contrary, for the first time she felt that she had older sisters who cared for her and protected her as well.

Qin Xuzi took a deep breath before taking the sword from Mu Shen and directing it somewhat shakily towards the young master Guiyan.
