- Chapter 74 Zhu Qing Accepts
Zhu Qing finally understood that there was no other way left for her.
“By now, only people with core strength would have been left in your family.”
“The antidote, I can indeed give but there are some conditions, are you ready to accept them?”
Zhu Qing could only meekly nod, she knew Su Chen must need something, she thought maybe she still has some negotiating capital.
“First, the antidote I will provide will be enough to save only 4 people.”
“Second, all the people saved by the antidote need to take a servant oath to always serve me and protect the Su Family at all costs. They will unconditionally provide martial arts training to my security team.”
“The remaining ordinary members of your Zhu Family will also need to take an oath and sign various share transfer documents to become a subordinate force under me.”
After speaking, Su Chen playfully put his hands behind his back as he waited for Zhu Qing’s answer.
He had his own calculations,
Even if all the martial artists were killed, the Zhu family was still a big family, isn’t it better to make them tool-persons?..while the strongest out of them can provide martial arts training to his security team.
Also, today is the day when Chu Fang’s Mercenary group members will arrive in the country. Su Chen still knew that there were 4 main captains under Chu Fang. All of them were proficient in martial arts.
He was not sure if the actions he and his mom took were enough to stop them from entering the country.
Enslaving the Zhu Family can provide an additional layer of security while dealing with those Chu Fang’s captains.
“Su Chen, you are going too far!”
-Zhu Qing knew the conditions would be harsh but these were way too harsh.
As someone from the martial art family, she knew the severity of taking heavenly oaths. If they tried to cheat then, because of various heart demons they will never be able to upgrade their realm, plus they might even suffer from backlash. That’s why once they take servant oaths, they will never be able to go against the Su Family.
“Oh dear, Zhu Qing.”
“I never force someone.”
“As a victor, I am just giving you a choice, whatever now happens, it depends on you.”
Zhu Qing gritted her teeth, her nails seeped into her palms as some blood oozed out. It was the first time she felt so helpless.
All her life she had been a winner, never lost once.
Sure enough, sometimes a single loss is enough to make up for a lifetime of losses.
‘It seems, I lost?’
‘Su Chen, the way you attacked me both psychologically and physically was really something I never expected.’
In the dark room, illuminated by just a single source of light, Zhu Qing stared at Su Chen deeply.
As a heroine, even though she was imprisoned, she could still hear Chu Fang’s thoughts.
It took only a few seconds for her to figure out that Su Chen was going to use them to fight against Chu Fang, whom they wanted to lean-on.
Su Chen, who could feel her intense gaze, just gave a warm smile.
Finally, after she seemed to have made up her mind, her lips parted,
“Okay, I accept your conditions.”
“I must once again warn you, going against the son of luck is not that easy.”
“But looking from your confidence, I am sure you have been treading this path of no-return for quite some time now… trying your best to change your destiny.”
“It is sheer madness to even think you can kill a person like Chu Fang, but often, madness is needed to separate the winners from the losers.”
“I, Zhu Qing, on behalf of my family, take an oath to wholeheartedly serve Su Chen as their master. He and his relatives lives will be more important than ours and we shall do our best to safeguard it.”
Zhu Qing decisively took her oath. She wanted to save her father as fast as she could.
Su Chen was satisfied, he loudly called Catlynn’s name.
“Catlynn, come inside.”
Catlynn had long awoken and was waiting outside the door.
Hearing her master’s summon, she hurriedly came in.
“Catlynn, unlock her shackles and make her drink that green liquid.”
Catlynn hesitated a little, “But master, she is a strong martial artist, she may..”
“It’s okay!”
She was a little worried but Su Chen’s domineering words reassured her.
Under their watchful eyes, Catlynn took out a key from her blouse and unlocked the shackles on Zhu Qing’s wrists. Then, she moved to a corner of the room where a small bottle of green liquid was present.
After fetching it, she came to Zhu Qing,
“Open your mouth.”
“What’s this gross thing? It’s stinking….”
Before Zhu Qing could curse more, the bottle of green liquid was shoved down her throat as she was forced to swallow it in one go.
After gulping the entire bottle, Zhu Qing felt a hot current flowing through her body.
Starting from the head to arms to legs, all her meridians which were earlier blocked by Su Chen when he first caught her at the auction house, started unblocking on their own.
Zhu Qing could feel, all the restrictions placed on her had disappeared.
Regaining her advanced level fighter strength, her mood improved.
She boldly looked at Su Chen.
“Are you not scared?”
“Now that I have regained my strength, I can run away easily.”
Su Chen chuckled,
“Because I know you, girls like you never go back on their words.”
Zhu Qing snorted in annoyance, he was right. It was impossible for her to cheat him. Taking an oath was the most sacred thing for her.
Since she acknowledged Su Chen’s one-sided victory, she accepted her fate.
She chose to live instead of dying here today, and she was not in any way disgusted by her action.
According to her, even the elderly people, who have lived their lives to the fullest don’t want to die of old age, so how can she?..Who is still in her prime, give up on her life so easily?
Living a life with principles is okay, but one must be aware of when to take a step back and make compromises. There are always exceptions.
This was why Su Chen had a little admiration for Zhu Qing in his heart. Unlike Lou Rouer, who lived for her righteousness till the very end, Zhu Qing was a realist.
She was ready to adapt to any changes happening around her. As long as one is ready to adapt, that person can keep improving oneself.
This was the reason Su Chen took her down in one go, pressing her from all sides so aggressively~
