Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1332: Chapter 995: This Counts as Employment or Work?

A quarter of an hour, then two, time slowly passed.

Miss Hu Jiu was initially bewildered, but soon calmed herself down.

All around was pitch-black. She tried to retrieve a Luminous Pearl from her Storage Bag for light, only to find her Spiritual Power hindered and unable to function. She groped around for a long time, yet neither found any boundaries nor anything tangible, as if she were floating in a boundless void.

Silently calculating time in her mind, as she counted close to three quarter-hours, a sudden brightness appeared before her eyes!

"Who are you? What did you just do to me?" She sat up straight, appearing stern and unsmiling.

Knowing her cultivation in the Charm Technique was still relatively short, although she was progressing rapidly, she hadn’t yet reached the stage where she could restrain it freely. Afraid of being misunderstood by others, the little fox never approached or joked with the opposite sex.

However, many Demon Cultivators were blindly confident, believing even an inadvertent glance from her was a sign of interest.

Thus, realizing she was kidnapped, she remained aloof, not even bothering to look directly at the other party.

"Miss Hu Jiu doesn’t remember me?" The Evil Cultivator was so excited he was trembling slightly, rubbing his hands and smiling, "We just met today. My name is Zhan Chenyang! Have you forgotten? I bought many Magical Treasures to give to you, but you didn’t even take a look, is it that you don’t like them?"

Finally being able to speak face-to-face with the beauty he longed for, Zhan Chenyang’s eyes and heart were entirely captivated by her charming and gentle appearance.

With a snap, he retrieved a large pile of Magical Treasures from his Storage Bag, grinning ingratiatingly, "Since Miss Hu Jiu doesn’t like these, I’ll sell them and exchange for anything you like! Just tell me whatever you want, even if it’s the stars and the moon in the sky, I’m willing to fetch them for you!"

The Communication Stone was buzzing. Seeing him speaking and trying to move closer, the little fox’s expression darkened slightly, "Stay there, don’t come near me. Hu Jiu is a decent and innocent Cultivator, how dare you act frivolously."

"Not frivolous, not at all!" Completely bewitched by the Charm Technique, Zhan Chenyang hastily stepped back, fearing to displease the beauty.

The little fox slowly took out the Communication Stone, discovering that her Third Sister, Elder Bai, Shopkeeper Hou, and other members of the small courtyard were all worried due to her sudden disappearance. She quickly replied to assure them not to worry.

She had encountered many lust-driven Demon Cultivators.

Moreover, she had gained some experience from the previous abduction. Should someone call her name and she ignores it, she wouldn’t be trapped in that dark, eerie place again.

Still, after seeing Elder Ling Di mention the Divine Artifact, she glanced at his Storage Bag inconspicuously, planning to probe him with words.

If he acted indiscreetly due to being infatuated, so be it; but if he committed atrocities using the Divine Artifact, it would be better to find a way to acquire it, preventing more innocent women from being kidnapped by him.

Ultimately, if he intended to turn violent, she still had the Stone Brocade Peach. By then, she’d let City Lord Yuan come and slap him half to death!

"What is this place?" Miss Hu Jiu sensed her Communication Stone was usable, the Teleportation Talisman worked, and the Magical Artifacts and Treasures in her Storage Bag could each be thrown out to stall a bit, making her feel more at ease.

Zhan Chenyang, lost in the beauty’s suffocating charm, hurriedly nodded and bowed, "This is a small courtyard I secretly bought. Don’t worry, that old man won’t find this place no matter what, we’re safe!"

Sizing up the slightly shabby room, he smiled ingratiatingly, "I know this place is simple, and it might be a wrong to ask you to stay here, but the simpler the place, the safer it is."

Before the little fox could ask for details, he, wanting to gain her favor, babbled on incoherently, "I’m not exaggerating, but I’m also not saying this for recognition, just stating the truth. Counting it all up, I, Zhan Chenyang, am your savior!"

"You kidnapped me, yet claim it was for my own good?" The little fox was so annoyed she couldn’t help but laugh.

Who knew this smile, in the eyes of Zhan Chenyang, who was utterly bewitched by the Charm Technique, felt like a Critical Strike, willing to do anything to protect such a perfect smile!

"Not to hide from you, actually I’m just running errands for someone else, that Purple Gold Gourd used to abduct you is his, and naturally, the purpose is to covet your beauty, planning to imprison you forever as his concubine!"

Reluctant to look away from the beauty, Zhan Chenyang stepped back a few steps, sat on the chair, and softly asked, "Have you ever heard of the Leisure Sect?"

How could she not have heard!

Not only did the little fox know the evil cultivators of the Leisure Sect committed all sorts of atrocities, she also knew that the young man she cared about was recently too busy dismantling the Leisure Sect to come back to the small courtyard, saving innocent cultivators from harm.

Upon hearing this, she blinked her pretty big eyes and asked, "Could it be... you’re from the Leisure Sect..."

"I am not an ordinary disciple!" Just like those rotten insects in Cloud City, the man facing Miss Hu Jiu, a practitioner of the Charm Technique, spoke without reservation, even proudly puffing out his chest, patting it, "I am a confidant of the Sixth Elder with the highest authority in the Leisure Sect in the Wilderness, otherwise how could I obtain the Sixth Elder’s prized Purple Gold Gourd?"

The little fox no longer felt any psychological burden. If Righteous Cultivators lose their way, forgiveness is possible. But as an underling of the Leisure Sect’s evil cultivator, it was better to seize the chance to pull out his venomous fangs, as he would surely harm many more innocents if left unchecked.

"Oh? The Purple Gold Gourd? That peculiar dark thing?" She propped her chin with one hand, seriously looking into his eyes while casting the Charm Technique.

Zhan Chenyang fell even deeper.
