The girl was carried into the bedroom behind the main hall, and all the way she kept shouting,

but her cries did not receive any mercy from the old woman and her mother. Even her life could be sacrificed as an offering, let alone just letting her serve the gods in bed.

"Lord God, please go to the bedchambers." The old woman came over, bowed sincerely to Ye Fan, and said.

Ye Fan glanced at Li Zhaojun, who trusted him immensely at this moment, indicating that Li Zhaojun did not suspect his intentions for entering the chamber. Next to them, Wu Ding expressed dissatisfaction: "Yun Zhao, you should discipline your Ye Fan more. My junior brother is becoming more and more improper, and now he's actually run underground to become the Lord God. Humph, let's hope he's not using the title of Lord God as an excuse, but actually here to enjoy being the emperor."

Li Zhaojun smiled without saying more.

Ye Fan entered the rear bedchamber, only to find the surroundings adorned with carved railings and painted beams, a luxurious large bed placed in the center of the chamber, surrounded by gauze curtains. There was incense burning around, and even fountains springing from underground, with bathing pools nearby.

"Don't come near!" The girl had been placed on the large bed, bound by blankets, unable to use her cultivation abilities, and looked at Ye Fan with fearful eyes.

Surveying the environment, Ye Fan said, "This is quite a nice place."

After speaking, he walked step by step towards the large bed, but before reaching it, he saw the small doors open around him. Twenty girls entered from each side, dressed similarly to the previous woman, wrapped in sheets, their faces covered. The old woman's voice echoed from outside: "Lord God, these are your forty maidens to serve you, no one will disturb you. Your believers will protect this place to the death..."

When the voice faded, each of the forty girls on either side removed their veils, revealing their delicate faces. Though not exceptionally beautiful, having long lived underground and never seen sunlight, their skin was pale and they looked fragile, evoking a protective affection.

The girl shouted, "Devil, you'll meet a bad end for possessing them!"

Ye Fan spread his hands and said, "I haven't done anything, why are you concluding me so early? Just because they came in, do I have to possess them?"

The girl cried and said, "You've seen their faces, do you think in our kingdom they can marry someone else now? You've ruined them, there will be retribution."

Every religion has its own logic, Ye Fan guessed that the religion of this underground kingdom also believes in the separation of men and women. If a girl's appearance is seen, she must marry him. Outside, the world is relatively open, only in the closed underground kingdom can such traditional and primitive customs be retained.

Ye Fan looked at the forty girls, each was indeed very shy, clearly, their faces seemed like their greatest privacy, and they can only reveal them to their husbands in life. Now, Ye Fan seeing their faces is tantamount to being their man.

"This may be a bit troublesome." Ye Fan went to the bedside; he did not summon them, and the forty girls hesitated to approach him, yet he was very close to the girl. Directly he emitted a stream of Spiritual Energy, turning the blanket binding the girl into fragments without damaging her clothes.

"You… you stay away…"

The girl knew her cultivation was far inferior to Ye Fan's, and since Ye Fan was the "Lord God," even if she resisted, she would ultimately face a fiery punishment. So she shrank back timidly like a weak mortal girl, unconsciously causing her veil to slide off, revealing her delicate face.

Ye Fan laughed: "This is the second time you've shown your face to me…"

"Even if exposed, I will not submit to you. I have been to the world above, I know the customs of the people there. Girls don't just show their faces there, even if they reveal an arm or… some other place, they won't marry the men who see their bodies!" the girl exclaimed.

"You've been to the world above? No wonder then…"

Only now did Ye Fan understand why the girl had such a rebellious mentality, because her experience was broader than these underground residents. She had encountered an enlightened world, and naturally, would not accept these closed-world traditions.

"I'm not looking to possess you, I only want one thing…"

Ye Fan reached out a hand, just inches from the girl's face, unnervingly nearing.

Ultimately, she closed her eyes, seemingly resigned, but Ye Fan didn't violate her. Instead, he only took the pendant hanging around her neck in his hand - it was a pale yellow, with a hint of reddish-copper, a small bell, and as it reached Ye Fan's hand, it trembled violently, as if recognizing its true master.

"You… what are you doing?" the girl panic-stricken looked at Ye Fan.

"Will you give it to me?" Ye Fan asked.

The girl hesitated, looking at Ye Fan and said, "Why do you want to take my protective bell? It has safeguarded me many times, I cannot give it to you."

Ye Fan leaned in closer, and in a breath's distance, smiled: "If you won't give it, then I will possess you, both you and it will belong to me."

The girl trembled violently, her once-supporting arms suddenly weakened, and she ended up lying on the soft pillows on the bed as if she were a yielding little woman, losing any resistance in front of Ye Fan.

"You…" the girl felt immense pressure emanating from Ye Fan. Despite intense psychological rejection, she closed her eyes as if accepting the impending events.

But what she feared didn't happen, Ye Fan remained standing by the bedside, simply smiling at her, while the forty girls nearby approached; thirty knelt beside, with ten seeming to go help Ye Fan disrobe him of his sheet and serve him by changing his clothes.

"No need to come over." Ye Fan smiled and waved his hand, and the ten girls retreated. Ye Fan showed the bell in his hand to the princess, saying, "Whether you agree or not, this item temporarily belongs to me. I can promise you one condition to repay you."

The girl said, "Leave here, and never return to disturb our peace."

Ye Fan nodded: "This request is reasonable; I agree. But if I leave, the blue sacred object you worship will leave with me, lacking energy underground and becoming barren, unless your underground race migrates above ground…"

His words struck the girl's heart.

With the disappearance of the large blue crystal, the underground lacked energy supplies, crops ceased to grow, and cultivators couldn't continue cultivation—this was a disaster.

The girl bit her lip and said, "Then… leave the sacred object, and both I and my protective bell will belong to you!"
