Ye Fan said, "I do not deny that Miss Han's villa can be considered the most comfortable place in South Sea City, not only with beautiful scenery, and beautiful women, but also advanced facilities. However, such things are not remarkable to someone who aspires to become immortal and enlightened."

Han Qinger smiled faintly, "Young Master Ye, you are absolutely right. However, I have prepared some small gifts here that are extremely beneficial to a Cultivator. Young Master Ye, please come inside."

With that, Han Qinger led the way, inviting Ye Fan into the hall. Beyond the glazed doors was a very spacious living room with lavish furnishings, surpassing even a presidential suite. Most importantly, there were no electronic devices in the room. In the center was a large cotton mat, seemingly meant for a Cultivator to practice upon.

"Present this to Young Master Ye." Han Qinger instructed Xiao Ning, then turned to Ye Fan and said, "Young Master Ye, please have a seat."

Ye Fan did not sit on the mat in the middle of the room but chose to sit on the couch by the wall.

Xiao Ning performed her duty by withdrawing, and when she returned, she had changed into a magnificent cloud-patterned palace dress, giving her an ancient charm. Behind her were eight other women also dressed in palace attire, each holding a wooden tray. On the tray was a brocade box that, when opened, revealed Spirit Pills emitting Spiritual Energy, which were beneficial for those at the Golden Core Stage. However, Ye Fan had already surpassed the Nascent Soul Stage, making these items insignificant to him.

"Please accept them with a smile, Young Master Ye."

Han Qinger said as she beckoned the eight women in palace attire to come over. Each woman was more charming than the last. When they came before Ye Fan, they gracefully kneeled with their knees together, bowing to offer the brocade boxes above their heads in respect.

The eight women's faces were as fresh as flowers, each more radiant than the last, like real maidens from the palace, treating Ye Fan as though he were the emperor.

"Young Master Ye, it's rare for you to visit South Sea City. This is just a small token of my regard," Han Qinger said. "All I ask is for you to accept these little gifts and perhaps... enjoy a moment here while allowing me to escort my former senior sister to the inner hall to ask her a few things."

Jiang Ting quickly kneeled on the ground, clutching Ye Fan's leg, "Young Master Ye, you can't hand me over to her, or I will die without a corpse..."

"You may," Ye Fan readily agreed. "You can take her away, but she must not leave a twenty-meter radius, and you cannot harm her physically. If you agree to this, you may take her."

Han Qinger showed a hint of delight on her face and said, "Young Master Ye is indeed easy to talk to. Then I shall take her away, and there is no need for courtesy. Xiao Ning... take good care of Young Master Ye, and when I return, I will personally attend to him."

With that, Han Qinger reached out to restrain Jiang Ting, but she overlooked one issue, which was that Jiang Ting's cultivation had not been damaged at all. She was merely fearful of Ye Fan's power and dared not act recklessly. Now that Ye Fan was giving her to a demoness, she would not go quietly.

"Courting death!" Jiang Ting dared not harm Ye Fan, and she directly struck towards Han Qinger's chest, catching Han Qinger off guard.

"Ah?" Han Qinger stepped back while trying to find a way to counter, but she was already inferior to Jiang Ting in cultivation, and she was already injured. Just as Jiang Ting was about to hit her with a palm strike, Jiang Ting's body suddenly froze, as if her acupuncture points had been sealed.

It was Ye Fan.

Without lifting a finger, Ye Fan easily sealed Jiang Ting's acupoints. Ye Fan said, "Remember your promise, not to harm her. I have sealed her acupoints; now she is just an ordinary mortal girl and poses no threat to you."

Han Qinger, still unsettled, took a few deep breaths and said, "Thank you, Young Master Ye, for saving me. My former senior sister is indeed the most vicious person in the world."

A murderous intent flashed across her face and then disappeared. Finally, she took a rope specially made to bind cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage from her storage pouch. With just a flick of her hand, the rope bound Jiang Ting's hands.

"Senior sister, it's been a while. Come with me to have a chat at the back."

Han Qinger seemed to be leading a dog as she dragged Jiang Ting through the back door of the villa's main hall, heading towards the swimming pool.

As they left, only nine women, including Xiao Ning, remained in the room. Although Xiao Ning had changed into palace attire, she still spoke with a professional tone, "Mr. Ye, my lady instructed that you are the emperor here now, and together with my eight sisters and me, we are your concubines at your disposal."

"Enjoy?" Ye Fan was speechless at the word, as Han Qinger's control over these people seemed to permeate their lives completely, even deciding to whom these women should be given, all at her whim.

After Xiao Ning spoke, the eight women who were still kneeling placed the brocade boxes on the coffee table, four on each side as they edged towards Ye Fan as if to throw themselves into his arms.

Ye Fan raised his hand and said, "Leave the things and you can leave."

"Mr. Ye..." It was the first time Xiao Ning had not followed an order; she also looked at Ye Fan with some curiosity.

But Ye Fan clearly was not interested in repeating himself. With a slightly moved expression, Xiao Ning said, "You heard Mr. Ye, follow me and withdraw outside."

"As you command." The women really treated Ye Fan as an emperor, and even their replies carried a hint of courtly tone. They gracefully rose, keeping their bodies respectfully poised, and backed towards the door, turning to open the door before exiting.

Once the nine women had left, Ye Fan's attention focused on Han Qinger and Jiang Ting outside by the pool.

"...Senior sister, I have someone from our past who wishes to ask you something! Open!"

A sudden shout, and the water in the pool instantly drained away, disappearing in an instant. Han Qinger quickly pushed Jiang Ting into what seemed like a black cave, and she herself also leaped in.

In less than a second, the cave entrance closed as if nothing had happened, and water began to flow back around the pool, gradually filling it up.

Han Qinger jumped down, using the recoil from the surrounding walls, and finally landed at the bottom of a mountain crevice. Grabbing Jiang Ting by the collar, she pulled her up with a gleeful smile. "Think having someone else protecting you will let you escape my grasp? I am taking you to meet my new master; she is very interested in you. Master, I have caught her, please take a look!"

Though at the bottom of the mountain crevice, it was still brightly lit, with all the surroundings made of eternal diamonds. These diamonds exceeded all earthly reserves and were brought from outer space through a cultivator's channels, making the place seemingly indestructible to Han Qinger.

But she soon realized she was wrong. She did see her master, a woman who looked in her forties, yet her master was being "carried" out by a man.

It was indeed Ye Fan.

"Playing tricks with me? You're still too inexperienced. A woman who breaks promises, hmph, I see no reason to let you live!" Ye Fan directly thrust out a palm, striking the back of Han Qinger's master.
