Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2709: Chapter 2708: Submission!

Lin Dong grasped the spirit and soul of the Winged Angel in his hand, then imprisoned it within the Drought-Maiden Horn.

He planned to refine it after the battle had completely ended.

At this moment, his gaze fell upon Pravina.

Pravina’s hands were clenched into fists, her fingernails deeply embedded in her palms, yet she did not feel the pain.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief, as if she couldn’t believe that everything before her was real.

It seemed she hadn’t yet reacted, that the Winged Angel, a Triple-Heaven Martial Artist, had dissolved into nothingness under Lin Dong’s sword.

Her body trembled slightly, fear creeping over every inch of her skin like cold ice.

Pravina knew well that her strength wasn’t much different from the Winged Angel’s, and yet Lin Dong could defeat him with such ease. How then could she face the impending decisive battle?

Her gaze wandered over Lin Dong; she saw the calm and deep eyes that contained firm resolve for victory and a fearless attitude towards the unknown.

She understood that at this moment, she had completely lost the courage and confidence to confront Lin Dong.

”Escape.” Pravina silently told herself in her heart.

She knew that she could no longer remain within this illusionary realm, or else the same fate would await her.

Thus, she turned to flee from this place full of fear and despair.

However, Lin Dong’s voice bound her steps like a chain. ”Pravina, where do you think you can escape to?”

These words, like fire in the cold ice, ignited a glimmer of hope in Pravina’s heart, only to be quickly engulfed by deeper fear.

Surrounded by an invisible wall in the illusionary world meticulously woven by Lin Dong’s Eye of Illusion, every direction for Pravina was filled with despair and restriction.

She knew clearly that within this domain dominated by Lin Dong, escape was nothing but a futile illusion, with no way out.

Thus, at this life-and-death juncture, she made an unprecedented decision.

Pravina slowly straightened her back, then bowed deeply to Lin Dong, her posture full of both humiliation and resolve.

”Lin Dong, spare my life. If you are willing to spare me, from this day forth, I will be yours. I swear by my spirit and soul the most solemn blood oath to be loyal to you, never to betray for eternity. Whatever you demand of me, even if I become your furnace cauldron, I would not hesitate.”

Hearing this, Lin Dong’s lips curled into a smile that was both playful and assessing.

”Pravina, I remember that you are not only the Heavenly Envoy of the Yoga Country War Department but also an important member of the ancient and noble bloodline of the Pula family. If you truly submit to me, aren’t you concerned that your family will be shamed by this action?”

Lin Dong’s words were as sharp as a sword, precisely stabbing into the most vulnerable part of Pravina’s heart.

Pravina, as a member of the Yoga Country War Department’s Heavenly Envoy, was also a significant member of the ancient Pula family, within which a Secondary Ancestor holds sway.

If she subjected herself to Lin Dong, such a family would endure endless shame.

Her face instantly turned paler, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead — the result of fear and shame intertwined.

As a member of the Pula family, she knew that family honor and responsibility were more important than life.

Yet, at this moment on the verge of life and death, she made a choice that went against the family’s beliefs.

”I... I...” Pravina’s voice trembled slightly, she wanted to explain, yet couldn’t find an appropriate reason.

She knew that choosing submission would mean severing herself from her family’s honor, thus becoming a traitor.

However, she was even more aware that the breath of death was closing in step by step, and she didn’t want to die; she still had too much unwillingness and too many dreams.

”Lin Dong, I know my choice will shame my family, but I don’t want to die. I crave the Martial Way, I crave strength, I thirst to stand at higher vistas to behold the splendor and vicissitudes of the world. I am willing to exchange all my loyalty and obedience for a chance at survival, even if this survival burdens me with eternal infamy.”

Pravina’s voice carried a hint of determination, a boundless desire for life, and a challenge to the unknown future.

Lin Dong quietly gazed at Pravina, those deep eyes seeming to penetrate the human heart.

He understood that Pravina’s choice, though contemptible to many, reflected that in a world where strength reigned, survival often outweighed dignity.

So he slowly spoke, ”Pravina, I am aware of your choice. But remember, there is only a fine line between loyalty and betrayal. If you sincerely submit, I will indeed give you an opportunity. However, if there are any acts of betrayal in the future, you will bear the consequences.”

With these words, Lin Dong signaled his willingness to spare Pravina.

The cost, however, was that Pravina had to serve Lin Dong as her master, becoming his slave from here on.

Upon hearing that Lin Dong was willing to spare her, Pravina’s face showed a hint of joy, then she said, ”Pravina, greets Master!”

This time, she knelt at Lin Dong’s feet, even lowering her head to kiss his foot. That kind of humble state was like that of a dog acknowledging its master.

”An illustrious Realm Martial Artist so low like a dog. Pravina, do you not feel ashamed?” Lin Dong said with a flat tone.

Inwardly, Pravina was certainly shame-ridden, but her face displayed a charming smile, continuing with flattering words: ”What divine talent Master has! A mythical figure of ten thousand years!”

”As long as Master has time, in the future, Master will be the first in Martial Arts History. To be a dog by the side of the first in Martial Arts History, how many people wish for that?”

”Even those at the Sub Ancestor Level would probably be willing!”

”So being like a dog, serving the Master, is not a disgrace to me; rather, it is my honor!”

Lin Dong gave her a glance, speaking in a chilling tone: ”I don’t like that routine; keep it to yourself in the future!”

”What I want is for you to work for me, not to have you lick my feet or speak these words of flattery. If it happens again next time, I’ll crush you instantly!”

Swish!

Hearing these words, Pravina quickly scrambled up from the ground, responding: ”Yes, Master, Pravina will never dare again.”

She even had the thought before, that after following Lin Dong for some time, she would try to seduce him with beauty, to conquer him with her body.

However, now she dared not harbor such thoughts any longer.

A being like Lin Dong was not one she could conquer. Her body, enchanting all living beings, was insignificant before Lin Dong.
