Chapter 10: Give You...?

Li Qingran lowered his brows and eyes: "What other spirit herbs do you have?"

Ning Na spoke with tender affection: "I'll give you grass."

Li Qingran: "Heh heh."

This joke wasn't funny in the slightest.

Faced with Ning Na's incessant chatter, Li Qingran grew somewhat impatient — give her an inch and she'll take a mile.

A single look from Li Qingran, and the entire club's space instantly froze.

Apart from Heiye, Ning Na and the others were all immobilized in place.

Midair, a mosquito; on the wall, a gecko; in the corner, a mouse — all frozen in place.

The whole world seemed to have become a frozen frame.

Upon cultivating to the Spirit Master realm, a Spirit Master can stand in the air without external aid and preliminarily grasp the power of space.

One step further, entering the Spirit Venerable realm, allows complete control over the power of space.

Li Qingran said blandly: "From now on, whatever I say, you just listen, just do — understand?"

Ning Na felt that apart from her thoughts, nothing belonged to her; in a split second, a dizzying sense of disorientation washed over her.

Pop!

Li Qingran snapped his fingers, and everything returned to normal.

As if a play button had been pressed, the whole world began moving again.

Ning Na felt her legs go weak, her whole body limp as she collapsed to the ground, looking up at Li Qingran towering above, eyes full of shock, cherry lips trembling:

"You, you're a Spirit Master, a Spirit Master Grandmaster!"

Ning Na had originally wanted to say Spirit Venerable, but it was simply too hard to believe — even if Li Qingran was a Spirit Master Grandmaster, she was utterly shaken, followed by dense dread and unease.

A big shot like this could make her and her guardian spirit, the Transforming Snake, perish on the spot with a casual move — not even the possibility of escape.

And she'd actually dared to tease him just now.

Ning Na's heart was full of regret: Truly big-chested and brainless!

Thinking this, Ning Na dared rise even less, directly switching from sitting to kneeling, not caring in the slightest about her image before such a subordinate.

Her tone turned respectful, not daring the slightest jest.

"Grandmaster! This little woman understands completely! Your arrival brings glory to the Infinite Joy Club; I, I..."

Ning Na knelt prostrate, not daring to raise her head to meet Li Qingran's eyes; she racked her brain, but having read little, couldn't find fitting words no matter what.

In her heart, only one thought: Holy shit, such a young, such a handsome Spirit Master Grandmaster!

That space-freezing technique the youth just used shows his strength has at least reached Spirit Master Grandmaster!

Ning Na's whole entourage froze, then knelt in unison toward Li Qingran, chanting in unison: "We pay respects to Grandmaster!"

A Spirit Master Grandmaster — when had they ever seen one this close in real life?

Only on TV had they seen Grandmaster Liu who suffers from face-blindness, Grandmaster Ma who dislikes money...

Li Qingran's expression didn't change; his strength was First-Rank Spirit Venerable.

Ning Na and the others called him Grandmaster, and he had no need to explain.

"Get up." Li Qingran's gaze was sharp: "Put away that charm technique of yours in front of me."

Yet Ning Na didn't dare rise, only lifting her head slightly, like a maid before her master: "Yes, Grandmaster, this little woman wouldn't dare.

Whatever you need in Black Sea City, just come find me at the Infinite Joy Club!"

Li Qingran's complexion softened somewhat; he nodded, glancing down from his lofty height at Ning Na's ample bosom: "Are you willing to follow me and work for me?"

Ning Na froze at the words, then was overwhelmed with excitement, agreeing repeatedly: "Willing! I'm willing! Grandmaster will be my master from now on; whatever Master tells me to do, I'll do!"

These five years, clawing her way up, Ning Na had long since deeply understood how important a backer is.

Li Qingran, such a young Spirit Master Grandmaster — even if not from some major power — was worth her following.

This was a rare opportunity; Ning Na only wanted to seize it tight.

"Rest assured, working for me won't shortchange you; wherever I need you, I'll have Heiye find you."

Li Qingran looked at Heiye again and instructed: "Heiye, you stay and help; starting from Green Mountain City, I'll give you one month..."

The entire Southern Anhui region, including seven or eight large and small cities.

Hearing Li Qingran's instructions, Ning Na's heart burned hot.

Clearly, Li Qingran's meaning...

Her, Snake Consort, climbing this big tree Li Qingran... was just around the corner!

"Also, help me find a residence in Black Sea City."

Heiye and Ning Na both nodded, respectfully assenting.

After Li Qingran instructed the two to seek him out if they encountered unsolvable matters, he walked straight toward the club's main doors, a loud voice ringing out behind him: "Respectfully seeing Grandmaster off!"

Only after Li Qingran's back disappeared from sight did Ning Na tremble as she rose from the ground.

Even now, her heart was still a mix of shock and joy, complex emotions beyond words.

"Big Brother Heiye, which major power's Holy Son is the master?" Ning Na's large eyes looked at Heiye, as if they could drip water.

One of Heiye's eyes suddenly flashed with a glint of light.

In an instant, above Heiye's head appeared a gigantic black eye.

Around the eye, wisps of black demonic qi lingered, like a Demon King's gaze sending chills down one's spine.

Guardian Spirit, Eye of the Devil!

"Ah!"

Ning Na covered her eyes and screamed, as if suffering extreme stimulation.

"Hmph. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, understand?" Heiye sneered coldly.

Ning Na felt a surge of fear in her heart, almost forgetting that this master was also a ruthless person with Yu Ling Jiang strength: "Y-yes, understood!"

Looking in the direction Li Qingran left, Hei Ye seemed to be talking to himself, yet also seemed to be speaking to Ning Na:

"This world is vast, there are too many variables in the future, all we can do is follow the Master's footsteps..."

"Rest assured, Brother Hei Ye, I, Snake Princess, swear to follow the Master's footsteps unto death."

Ning Na turned her head, swept her gaze over the subordinates, and ordered: "From today on, the Grandmaster is our boss, Brother Hei Ye is our second-in-command, I'm the third-in-command!

Any orders from Brother Hei Ye and the Grandmaster must be carried out immediately, understood?"

The subordinates replied in unison: "Yes, Lady Snake Princess! Lord Hei Ye!"

Tonight, they witnessed too many shocks, refreshing their understanding again and again.

Ning Na said respectfully to Hei Ye: "Right, Brother Hei Ye, the Master just asked me to help find a residence?

Speaking of which, I happen to know of a quite nice standalone villa in Hei Hai City, called Hei Yun Villa.

At the foot of Hei Yun Mountain, it's said to be right on the dragon vein of Hei Yun Mountain, the source of spiritual energy for the entire mountain."

Hei Ye asked with interest: "Oh? Sounds good, does it have an owner?"

"It does have one, but it can be bought.

Such a place should be priceless, but Hei Yun Mountain was actually an ancient cold palace.

From ancient times to now, who knows how many women were buried there, come nightfall, resentful spirits, female ghosts, countless..."

Hei Ye waved his hand, interrupting: "Alright alright, stop talking..."

"It was my oversight, I thought the Master doesn't get close to women, so no need to worry about things ordinary people fear... I'll have someone look again..."

"I'm saying, it's Hei Yun Villa then."
