Meanwhile, Yang Shan arrived at the courtyard where Feng Qing'er usually lived.

Feng Qing'er was proud and arrogant, and because of her special status, her courtyard was built in another mountain range next to Leishan.

This mountain is designated as a forbidden area; even the Thunder Venerable would not come here.

Feng Qing'er never allowed anyone to set foot on this mountain. Even the Huang Dynasty sent them directly to Lei Mountain.

Now, this man, whom she once considered her rival, has so easily set foot here.

Yang Shan remained silent the whole way. He could have easily chosen a place to have a proper chat with Feng Qing'er.

The reason I came here was simply to see Feng Qing'er's attitude one last time.

After all, Feng Qing'er is the only person he has seen so far, and possibly the only one in the entire server, who possesses the officially certified "Peerless Stubborn" aura!

Difficulty and reward are usually matched.

The difficulty of "subduing" Feng Qing'er is ridiculously high.

Correspondingly, the value of nurturing Feng Qing'er is immeasurable.

Yang Shan was eager to see how far Feng Qing'er would go after breaking free from her original destiny.

Since Feng Qing'er's place is forbidden, he's determined to come and take a look!

Feng Qing'er's attitude was quite good, although she tried to "suggest" that Yang Shan change his location several times.

But Yang Shan did not accept it, and Feng Qing'er did not persist.

Feng Qing'er's courtyard was large, but the interior was very simple.

It was so simple that Yang Shan couldn't even see any vegetation!

As far as the eye could see, there was only empty space, and even the bedroom was made of an unknown type of stone.

Yang Shan: "Why don't you make it prettier?"

Feng Qing'er: "Cultivation, I don't have time."

Yang Shan: "Couldn't you at least get some flowers and plants?"

Feng Qing'er: "When I'm cultivating, I often experiment with fighting techniques, and the flowers and plants can't survive."

Yang Shan: "What about dinner?"

Feng Qing'er: "It's in the storage ring."

Yang Shan: "Take a bath?"

Feng Qing'er: "There is a spring halfway up the mountain that has formed a pond."

Yang Shan: "So you usually just cultivate here?"

Feng Qing'er: "Mmm!"

"sleep?"

“Cultivation can replace sleep.”

"Then what do you need a bedroom for?"

"Change your clothes; you need to dress up before going out."

Yang Shan didn't ask any more questions.

Asking further won't change the outcome.

When Feng Qing'er is away from home, there are only two words:

pride.

When I'm alone, there are only two words:

Practice.

This is too pure.

Yang Shan seemed unable to think of any reason not to hand over the Demon Phoenix Blood Marrow Pearl to Feng Qing'er.

A person like Feng Qing'er will surely be able to maximize the value of a ninth-grade bloodline!

They can even transcend the limitations of the ninth-grade bloodline itself and achieve even greater success.

Yang Shan waved his hand, and a stone table and chairs were set out:

"sit!"

Feng Qing'er did not follow Yang Shan's advice, but instead said seriously:

"Young Master, have I passed the test in terms of my performance over this period?"

Yang Shan: "What if I say no?"

Feng Qing'er lowered her head slightly:

"Please enlighten me, Young Master, on where I have failed?"

Yang Shan leaned back in his chair:

"Didn't I tell you to sit down? Do you expect me to kneel down to receive this?"

Feng Qing'er was taken aback:

"Young Master, what do you mean?"

Yang Shan said calmly:

"I do not have the perverse pleasure of arbitrarily ordering my subordinates around and making them feel utterly humiliated in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing'er's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

dignity.

This word was actually unattainable for Feng Qing'er.

She relied on her own strength to maintain her dignity as a strong person in the face of the weak.

But in the eyes of the stronger, her dignity was truly insignificant.

Yang Shanming is already a "stronger" person who far surpasses her.

In the future, their relationship might even be that of master and subordinate!

"Why are you so concerned about the dignity of the weak?"

It seems that Feng Qing'er has wanted to ask this question for a long time.

"It's not about strength or weakness, it's just that I care about your dignity. I used to be like you, desperately cultivating to avoid being ridiculed by the strong. Later, I became the One-Sword True Monarch."

What is true may be false, and what is false may be true. At the crucial moment of winning over Feng Qing'er, Yang Shan will inevitably use a few words to break down the walls in her heart.

Yang Shan stared directly at Feng Qing'er:

"What pride, what stubbornness?"

"He is nothing more than a weak person who, burdened by his parents' expectations and his past humiliation, stubbornly went to the other extreme."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qing'er's delicate body trembled:

"How do you know?"

how do you know?

On the night Yang Shan slapped Huang Chao about a hundred times, Feng Qing'er came to his room, triggering a system notification that changed the original course of Feng Qing'er's development. This was the background story provided by the system!

Of course, Yang Shan couldn't tell Feng Qing'er the truth at this time, mainly because she wouldn't understand anyway.

"Otherwise, why would I make you watch me slap Huang Chao's face until it looks like a pig's head?"

Some words are like hooks, specifically designed to evoke memories!

Feng Qing'er immediately recalled the scene that had left her speechless.

Yang Shan grabbed Huang Chao by the collar and slapped him wildly with both hands.

Finally, Feng Qing'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then sincerely said:

"Thank you."

"Your politeness is making me a little uncomfortable. Here you go!"

Looking at the beads of blood in her hand and feeling the boiling blood in her body, Feng Qing'er found it hard to accept for a moment.

The Demon Phoenix Blood Marrow Bead, which could drive the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan mad, was tossed into Feng Qing'er's arms by Yang Shan.

[Ding! Player, please note: The Ninth-Rank Demon Phoenix Blood Marrow Bead, which could drive the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan mad, has been flicked away by you like a marble.]

Your casual and carefree demeanor is deeply etched in Feng Qing'er's mind.

In the past, Feng Qing'er's pride knew no bounds.

[Feng Qing'er unconsciously recalled her not-so-long, yet tumultuous, time with you. Now, Feng Qing'er's pride seemed to have taken on a tangible form. That pride seemed to be your silhouette.]

Perhaps following in your footsteps is the brightest path for her to maintain her pride.

[You have gained Feng Qing'er's loyalty. Current loyalty level: 65!]

[Players please note that based on your numerous interactions with Feng Qing'er, you have become an indelible presence in her heart. The "Stubborn Aura" will no longer apply to you, and you will find it easier to gain Feng Qing'er's favor.]

[Note: Due to the effects of the "Stubborn Halo" and Feng Qing'er's self-awareness, Feng Qing'er's favorability towards others will not exceed 30 points.]

Good guy!

I couldn't see Feng Qing'er's favorability rating before.

I didn't realize it had already reached such a high number!

Yang Shan was unaware of the changes in Feng Qing'er's favorability towards her during the Sifang Pavilion Conference and the subsequent interactions that had a significant impact on her.

Based on the last clue alone, Yang Shan was certain that his previous interaction intensity had, to some extent, overshadowed the influence of the "stubborn halo".

Otherwise, based on this one interaction alone, it would have been impossible to jump from 30 points to 65 points in one go!

This "stubborn halo" truly exemplifies the saying that the greater the difficulty, the greater the reward.

Feng Qing'er's favorability is indeed difficult to raise, but in a way, Feng Qing'er should be the only person who automatically "locks up her heart and locks in love" even though her favorability is less than 70 points!

It's even more extreme than the system-certified "locking up love and sealing hearts".

Previously, all NPCs that triggered server-wide announcements were those whose favorability with other members of the opposite sex could not be increased by more than 69 points.

Feng Qing'er, on the other hand, directly reduced the upper limit to thirty points!

To be a bit arbitrary, as long as Yang Shan doesn't play the role of a heartless boss exploiting his employees and lower Feng Qing'er's loyalty to below 30 points.

In addition, there's the Demon Phoenix Blood Marrow Bead, a ninth-grade bloodline.

Feng Qing'er has maximized both emotional value and financial benefits!

Do you want Feng Qing'er to betray you?

Yang Shan has already blocked the path of emotional value, as for profit...

With a ninth-grade bloodline and the potential to become a saint, what benefits could possibly make Feng Qing'er betray her?

Is it a divine object that can make someone a Dou Di (Battle Emperor)?

That could very well lead to betrayal.

65 points of loyalty is still not reliable enough.

I need to find a way to get it to 80 or higher, or even 90!

Based on Feng Qing'er's character, if her loyalty is truly above 90%, even if someone were to offer her a divine artifact that could make her a Dou Di, she would still be able to betray them.

Feng Qing'er would probably have to pretend to agree, then run back to Yang Shan's side and give the divine object to her master!

Feng Qing'er obtained the Demon Phoenix Blood Marrow Pearl she had longed for, but stood there helplessly:

"Young Master, it's me..."

Yang Shan waved his hand:

"Stop with the empty talk, let's get down to business!"

After much deliberation, Feng Qing'er finally spoke:

"Young Master, are you really not going to take me?"

Yang Shan said unhappily:

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is this? Am I the kind of person who lusts after beautiful women?"

In fact, her beauty was one of Feng Qing'er's sources of pride.

Even the Phoenix Dynasty wanted to take her in because of her beauty.

The scene of Yang Shan grabbing her by the neck and pinning her to the ground, hacking at her indiscriminately, is still vivid in my mind.

Now that the master-servant relationship is settled, Feng Qing'er's stubbornness aura is ineffective, but that doesn't mean she's no longer stubborn.

She still wanted to get a little bit of proof of pride from Yang Shan.

If one lacks strength for the time being, does that mean beauty is truly indispensable?

When Feng Qing'er investigated Yang Shan before, she knew that Yang Shan had more than one or two women in the Northwest Continent!

Surely all those beautiful women can't all be prettier than her, right?

Once that stubborn streak takes hold, it's like a burning desire in the lower abdomen—difficult to suppress.

[Ding! Player, please note: Feng Qing'er is trying to find some proof of pride in you in other ways. This behavior is consistent with Feng Qing'er's personality, and this intention will last for an extremely long time. Please deal with it carefully!]

Yang Shan broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the system message.

Too scary!

It's true that a man who is too outstanding will have a lot of trouble; one beautiful woman after another will be lusting after his body!

Feng Qing'er, that stubborn one

How could Yang Shan let Feng Qing'er succeed so easily?

How long will it take you to complete the refining process?

Feng Qing'er thought for a moment:

"Five days."

Yang Shan waved his hand:

"Go refine it quickly. I'll also make some arrangements these next few days. Once you come out of seclusion, we can go and cause trouble for the Yellow Springs Pavilion!"

"As ordered!"

Feng Qing'er, who had already answered, remained where she was.

Yang Shan could only look at Feng Qing'er and ask again:

"You're disobeying orders now that you've just taken something?"

"No, Young Master, shouldn't we need this?"

Feng Qing'er solemnly placed a crystal, as dazzling as a diamond, on the table before saying:

"I'm going to practice first."

Feng Qing'er turned and left with an unusually resolute expression.

She knew the journey was long and arduous.

No rush. If it doesn't work in one day, try ten. If it doesn't work in ten days, try a hundred or a thousand.

There will always be a chance!

Feng Qing'er's feelings at this moment were the same as when she went through a life-or-death ordeal, which awakened her bloodline.

The dawn of the future didn't need her to search for it; it was already firmly in her hands.

Five days later, at Leishan Leige.

Yang Shan and Lei Zun Zhe were sitting together drinking tea.

Five days ago, after leaving Feng Qing'er's residence, Yang Shan immediately began to arrange a revenge plan against Huangquan Pavilion.

In Zhongzhou, Dou Zun is synonymous with strength and status.

The fact that he led the Wind and Thunder Pavilion to launch a proactive attack on the Yellow Springs Pavilion will likely spread throughout the Central Plains.

This is actually inconsistent with Yang Shan's low-key style of doing things.

He only acts cool occasionally; most of the time, he prefers to be a cunning old fox.

Those who show off too often will eventually be proven wrong.

Tianyao Company even deliberately set up some pretentious NPCs to make players slap them in the face and increase the sense of satisfaction, but no one felt it was out of place, and that's why!

But this time, he has to be high-profile!

Because he is currently the only player to break through to the Dou Zun level.

They are also theoretically the players most likely to obtain Tier 8 resources!

Resources are limited.

First come, first served!

In addition, Yang Shan has effectively gained control of the Fenglei Pavilion.

Lei Zun Zhe is doing his best to cooperate with him in every way.

Even the favorability rating has been skyrocketing, reaching 40 points!

The reason why the Thunder Venerable was not loyal to him was because he should have been loyal to the Profound Wrath Thunder Saint!

Therefore, having 40 points of favorability is already quite good.

Yang Shan did not expect to recruit Lei Zunzhe as a subordinate.

Since he wouldn't take him as a subordinate, as long as Xuan Nu Lei Sheng didn't object, Yang Shan could still get Lei Zun Zhe to do his job properly.

Yang Shan's mobilization of the Fenglei Pavilion's personnel this time was very meticulous.

The head of the team was personally counted by Venerable Lei and Fei Tian.

Having been used to being a hands-off manager, Yang Shan was not very familiar with the situation in the other branches.

But Yang Shan still had a task to complete: to help Xuan Nu Lei Sheng clean up the parasites in Feng Lei Ge.

So we might as well go along with it.

Lei Zun and Fei Tian were instructed to leave behind some trustworthy individuals to secretly observe within the Feng Lei Pavilion.

Let's see just how many spies from other forces are inside the Wind and Thunder Pavilion!

Now, everything is ready, and we are just waiting for Feng Qing'er to emerge from seclusion.

To be honest, Yang Shan was a little anxious.

Eighth-tier refined spirit crystals—this is too tempting for a Dou Zun, and the Feng Lei Pavilion simply doesn't have any in stock!

Basically, they use every single one they have to quickly improve their cultivation level, so that they can protect the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Yang Shan has come to a profound understanding of just how rare the production of eighth-tier resources truly is at this stage.

However, not a single eighth-grade refined spirit crystal could be found in the entire Fenglei Pavilion, yet Feng Qing'er possessed one!

This solved Yang Shan's immediate problem.

Yang Shan's current potential has officially reached the level of a one-star Dou Zun.

In other words, as long as Yang Shan doesn't break through to the two-star Dou Zun level, he can enjoy triple the experience gain!

The reason we let Venerable Huangquan go last time was because we were waiting for this day!

He desperately needs experience points!

Just then, a spatial rift opened.

Feng Qing'er strolled out.

Feng Qing'er's attire was different from her usual style.

The garment she was wearing was a "colorful feather dress" made of feathers of various colors!

Yang Shan glanced at it only once and then laughed:

"No wonder you dressed up so nicely, your arrogance is rising again?"

Feng Qing'er lowered her head and smiled faintly:

"As the young master's subordinate, one should be more arrogant."

Yang Shan shook his head.

So be arrogant, as long as you can't be arrogant in front of him.

"Set off immediately and destroy the Yellow Springs Pavilion!"
