Qin Huoshui was drop-dead gorgeous. With a soft and perfect skin and rocking that black dress, she was a lofty ice queen.

Chen Changan had killed the crone and then revived her.

Once the initial shock passed, Qin Huoshui wasn’t all that afraid of him, only curious.

He might be strong enough to erase her as well, but what of it? She had no worries, not when she was using just a trace of intent. Killing the current her wouldn’t affect her true body back on Merak Immortal Domain one bit.

Chen Changan was calm, scanning Qin Huoshui up and down. [She’s hot.]

He’d noticed the crone and Qin Huoshui ever since he harvested all lives on Absolute Domain, that they were Dao Protectors.

He answered, “What, you ask? Killing her. But since I’ve got some use for her, I bestowed life and brought her back.”

“Brought her back?” Qin Huoshui frowned.

Chen Changan smiled. “You seem to be going in Soaring Immortal Mountain’s direction. Is there something you need from me?”

The disarming smile and Chen Changan’s lack of cultivation put anyone at ease. No one would believe this unassuming youth would be the great Chen Changan.

That was before she witnessed his might, of course. He now appeared mysterious, incredibly strong, and inconceivable. He didn’t disappoint her.

[He has to have a connection to Nine Province Continent’s capability of affecting the Immortal Domains.]

Qin Huoshui was neither humble nor arrogant in her answer. “I wish to see the hidden expert that shocked Nine Province Continent. Now that I do, Fellow Daoist, the rumors don’t do you justice.”

“Who are you?”

“Qin Huoshui, Domain Lord of Merak Immortal Domain.”

“Domain Lord.” Chen Changan squinted.

[What’s someone like her doing as a Dao Protector?]

Chen Changan didn’t ponder the issue for long. “Fellow Daoist Qin, I care not as to who you are, not one bit. But I do have a request I hope you would accept.”

“Hard pass.” Qin Huoshui shot him down then and there.

Chen Changan’s eyes flashed with surprise at her blunt refusal. He chuckled, using Absolute Domain’s power.

A terrible pressure fell out of nowhere on Qin Huoshui’s shoulders. The weight of the world took her breath away, and yet she never lost her coldness. Neither afraid nor in a panic.

The death of a strand of intent didn’t bother her, but the action would tie them with hatred, and she would be sure to collect this debt if Chen Changan ever happened to roam the Immortal Domains.

Qin Huoshui believed more and more Chen Changan was at her level. She believed he was an Immortal Domain Ruler, intriguing her more than anything.

How did he come down to Nine Province Continent in the first place?

Qin Huoshui and Wu Ming’s display were completely opposite.

[Now this is a true Domain Lord. Wu Ming clings to life so much, he must be some Domain Lord immitation.]

Chen Changanchuckled. “You sure don’t fear death.”

The pressure vanished suddenly, and Qin Huoshui relaxed.

“That’s a Domain Lord for you, unflinching as the world crumbles around you. I’m curious though, as to why the refusal.”

“I have no reason to answer you.” Qin Huoshui replied.

“I can kill you on a whim, as well as that Immortal Domain genius in your charge. Is that reason enough?”

He didn’t want to take this route, threatening Qin Huoshui, but he was all out of options.

The sooner he handled Cloud Province’s tomb, the better. He lacked the manpower to do it, with Touba Ye nowhere near enough.

Chen Changan snapped his fingers as he made good on his threat. Unstoppable power erased Qin Huoshui, only to be brought back with Ruler of Life and Death.

The last harvest happened with everyone oblivious, Qin Huoshui included. This time around, however, he had Qin Huoshui feel the moment of her death as she came back again.

Her mind was shaken up.

She was an Immortal Domain Ruler yet never heard of anyone in all of the Immortal Domains capable of such precise and flawless control over life and death. It was insane!

“How did you do that?” Qin Huoshui asked.

When Chen Changan did the same for the crone, it all felt surreal, thinking Chen Changan didn’t revive her but used some other neat trick.

Now, having felt it on her own, she was a believer.

[There it is! The same shock Wu Ming had.]

“You don’t need to know. This is a request you can’t refuse. Or I can turn you like the crone here, wiping away your soul and becoming a head puppet.”

Chen Changan’s flat tone carried a devastating threat.

Qin Huoshui wasn’t so quick to deny him this time around. She weighed her options before speaking. “What’s the request?”

“Simple, taking a trip to Cloud Province’s death zone.” I’m not asking you to do it out of the goodness of your heart, giving you an appropriate commission once the task is done.”

Chen Changan took out a Dao Rhythm item brimming with Dao Rhythms.

Qin Huoshui recognized it as a top Dao Rhythm item on the spot.

Her eyes flashed. “Not a bad deal.”

“I believe one is not enough when requesting a Domain Lord’s help.” Chen Changan showed a few more Dao Rhythm items, each at top quality.

Qin Huoshui’s eyes widened, her heart racing. She couldn’t believe Chen Changan had so many on him.

“Finish this task for me, and these will be yours. I’m sure these Dao Rhythm items are of use even to you, a Domain Lord.”

“Fine, I accept your request, on one condition.”

He was amused. Qin Huoshui bargained with him, raising an eyebrow.

“What condition?”

“You are to watch over my charge while I’m away on your task, making sure no other Dao Protector gets to him. But if it’s another genius instead, you can stay out of it, even if he dies.”

Chen Changan nodded. “Done.”

Qin Xiuwen could never be safer in his Absolute Domain. Even if killed, he’d just bring him back with Ruler of Life and Death.

Qin Huoshui continued, “When do I leave?”

Chen Changan’s mind churned and a cultivating Touba Ye popped next to them.

Qin Huoshui’s heart raced once more at how broken his skills were. Then her shock mounted as she stared at Touba Ye.

His body was brimming with Immortal Energy. An immortal!

[But why is his aura so weak?] Qin Huoshui was baffled.

“Greetings, Young Master.”

Touba Ye bowed in respect.
