Urban All-Round Master

Capítulo 1538: Chapter 1572: These Mountains, These Waters, This Scenery, This Beloved

“Do you think, in your current situation, there’s still a chance you could leave here alive?!” At this moment, Liu Qingyao slowly turned around, her cold eyes revealing a slight glint as she looked at him.

Killing this genius young man right here was clearly an unrealistic issue. Moreover, Liu Qingyao wasn’t entirely confident she could kill him.

Even if she could kill him, if Liu Jiuhuang were to take issue with it later, it wouldn’t necessarily be a good thing for her.

Therefore, considering the previous failures in sneering and rebuking him face-to-face in the guest hall, Liu Qingyao felt it might be better to use another method to make him leave willingly, which might have a better effect than forcing him out herself.

Of course, Lin Zifeng could naturally see through her thoughts; she just wanted him to leave, thinking little of him.

It didn’t matter; he appeared to want to stay, but in reality, he had long prepared to leave here. Just not yet… Lin Zifeng smirked coldly inwardly.

“I wonder what Elder Qingyao means by these words?” Lin Zifeng furrowed his thick brows, not quite understanding her meaning.

Liu Qingyao turned, her hands placed on her perky backside, her eyes flickering with dazzling colors, and said with a wicked smile, “I think you should be well aware of the rules within our Liu Shen Clan, right?”

“Yes, I know.” Lin Zifeng nodded.

“There are only two outcomes for men captured by our Liu Shen Clan: either they produce offspring with our tribe and willingly stay to become our slaves, or they are crippled and sent out of the clan to live as ordinary people. We only betray men, never let any man leave and then betray us!”

“So, are you saying I don’t have a choice anymore?” Lin Zifeng touched the tip of his nose, a bitter smile on his lips. What a bizarre rule. He figured Liu Qingyao was purposefully saying this to intimidate him.

“Hmm, hmm. Asking like this seems a bit inappropriate, making it seem like I’m willingly becoming Fallen.” Lin Zifeng nodded first, then shook his hand, sniffing in contemplation with his ring finger touching his nose.

Completely disregarding how Liu Qingyao might react.

“If you leave now, I believe you can still make it!” Liu Qingyao said.

“Hehe… Elder Qingyao, I’m afraid you haven’t understood what I mean, right? In such a good environment, constantly surrounded by so many beautiful women, with food and drink, such idyllic countryside life is something many yearn for but can’t have. Why would I leave here?”

“Those men who were captured also said the same as you did today, but after a while, one month, two months, three months, even a year, three years… eventually, you’ll get tired of here. It’s not as beautiful as you imagine. If one day you upset the Mother Empress, she might just kill you! Heartlessly kill you! The Mother Empress wields the greatest power in this clan. You see her as innocent now, but who can guarantee that, in ten years, she will still be as innocent as she is today?”

“You’ve said so much. You just want to persuade me to leave, right? But I still don’t quite understand. Elder Qingyao once treated me like a dog, ordering me around, and now there’s this miraculous turn of events for my own good. It’s quite frustrating. If Elder Qingyao has time, why don’t we have a good talk here?” Lin Zifeng looked at her uncertain expression, continuing to laugh heartily: “Here there are mountains and waters, and right in front of you, a handsome man. How could you resist embracing this beautiful scenery and person?”

“…” Talking about handsome men and good companions—such shameless words almost made Liu Qingyao vomit on the spot. She could swear this guy was the most shameless man she’d ever seen!

Liu Qingyao was at a loss for words.

“Since you don’t want to leave, you’ll have to consider the consequences yourself.” Liu Qingyao, being of a fiery temper, wanted to blow up several times but finally held it in.

“There’s no need to think about it. A place this good naturally needs someone like me here.” Lin Zifeng declared righteously. It was as if without him, this place couldn’t survive…

“…” Liu Qingyao said nothing more. She turned and left.

Lin Zifeng shrugged his shoulders, continuing to follow her, looking at her full, round backside. He subconsciously wanted to grasp it a couple of times, clicking his tongue. This woman, at most in her early thirties, was at the peak of her seductive allure…

Feeling the strange gaze from behind, as if being secretly watched, Liu Qingyao abruptly turned her head, startling Lin Zifeng, who looked side to side feigning ignorance.

“What are you looking at?”

“Nothing, nothing. I was just appreciating the beautiful scenery here.” Lin Zifeng wiped cold sweat from his forehead secretly, thinking this sly woman could actually sense him looking at her backside…

………

Soon, Lin Zifeng followed her across this cluster of artificial hills.

Liu Qingyao initially intended to lead him into a graceful and serene stone courtyard for settling. But halfway through, she changed her mind and instead guided Lin Zifeng to a more secluded spot.

On the way, Lin Zifeng had already noticed the differences here. The air was heavy with deadly energy, like a graveyard, where the atmosphere was particularly oppressive and filled with Resentment.

“Elder Qingyao, are you really following the Mother Empress’s wishes by bringing me here?” Lin Zifeng activated his Clairvoyance to secretly observe, discovering a large sinkhole dozens of meters deep far off, inhabited mostly by sickly middle-aged men and resentful women, whose bodies were emaciated, filled with Resentment.

It was clearly a place for imprisoned dead prisoners and slaves.

“What, do you actually doubt the Mother Empress’s intentions?” Liu Qingyao thought he had sensed something. Her brows furrowed slightly, thinking, if you’re brought to this place, I won’t believe you won’t want to leave the clan!

“No, no. Just found it a bit odd,” Lin Zifeng shook his head, smiling, as he continued accompanying Liu Qingyao towards the sinkhole imprisoning the death row prisoners.

At a distance of about a hundred meters, Liu Qingyao finally stopped moving forward.

“Do you see them? I think you should be able to see the state these people are living in now.” Liu Qingyao pointed at the vast sinkhole a kilometer away, saying.

The sinkhole was large, several thousand meters long with significant width, positioned about thirty meters from the ground. It was a natural effect from an earthquake.

The walls around the sinkhole were built with smooth stones, easy for ordinary Cultivators to leave with a slight use of Vital Energy, but for ordinary people, it was like being a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to surmount the approximately thirty-meter-high sinkhole walls.

Liu Qingyao stood with Lin Zifeng at the sinkhole’s edge, overlooking the people living below, noticing that these people were mostly men struggling at death’s door and some women.
