Chapter 13: The Price of Power
Chapter 11:
"Very well then!! I accept you too, and I'm sure we will get along quite well." Lin Fan smiled happily and sat back in Yu Kuan's chair, carelessly placing his feet on the table before continuing with a wide gesture, "But there are specific rituals for you to officially become my subordinate and part of my clan, Yu Kuan. You must swallow this parasitic insect, and once you do, you will truly be my subordinate from today onward."
Lin Fan presented the insect to Yu Kuan with a smile, while Yu Kuan kept staring at the insect with his eyes, still kneeling. His hesitation was clear despite his expressionless face.
'If I swallow this insect, I'll most likely be bound for life as Lin Fan's subordinate, with my fate tied to him. All my contingency plans to turn the tables on him will be automatically sabotaged. But, on the other hand, thinking about it, this will make me much stronger and of higher status. Being under one person and above others is still a pretty great thing.' Yu Kuan thought, shaking off his last bit of hesitation, and extended his hand while still kneeling, grabbing the wriggling insect in his hand, then swallowing it quickly and without a second thought!
Yu Kuan felt a strange sensation as he swallowed the insect, his whole body trembling, as the insect quickly spread strange threads inside him, attaching to parts of his internal body. Numerous smaller insects, similar to the original one, formed within him and began the same process. This continued inside his body after swallowing the insect.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Lin Fan clapped warmly with a happy smile on his face upon seeing Yu Kuan make a quick decision. "Congratulations! You're my first subordinate in this empire. I'm excited to see how useful you'll be, Yu Kuan," Lin Fan said, his arrogance clear.
The parasitic insect's effect was that it allowed Lin Fan to make the person who swallowed it feel excruciating pain whenever he wished. It also granted him knowledge of their location, and the most important effect was that it allowed him to kill the person who swallowed it at any time. Therefore, Lin Fan no longer had any worries about Yu Kuan.
Then Lin Fan said slyly, "I'll tell you my plan in general, so you'll be aware of how to act, and we'll discuss the details later. I'm counting on you to come up with a great plan, Yu Kuan."
Yu Kuan responded respectfully and confidently, "Of course, young master. You can count on me for this. I won't disappoint you."
Lin Fan then began explaining his plan to Yu Kuan, who showed his admiration and even pointed out some details.
Then Lin Fan issued his first commands to Yu Kuan after informing him of everything essential, saying in an authoritative tone, "Yu Kuan, call for your foolish son and Xiao Mi."
"Yes, young master," Yu Kuan responded obediently, quickly immersing himself in his role as a subordinate, unbothered by Lin Fan calling his son foolish.
After Yu Kuan left, Lin Fan continued sitting comfortably in the luxurious chair, his feet still resting on the table, thinking non-stop, 'Everything has gone much better than I expected. I've got my first subordinate on my list, and it was far easier than I thought. Now it's time for the main course, Xiao Mi!'
Lin Fan continued his thoughts, a sinister smile spreading across his face. 'Xiao Mi truly has exquisite beauty, but of course, that's not the main reason I'm after her, or I'd despise myself for being so foolish when I'm still weak. Haha, but of course, I'm smart. Her beauty is just an addition. What really stands out is her body, her pure chi body, which allows the first person who sleeps with her to gain all her chi!!'
'I'm still only in the seventh layer of the Qi Condensation Realm, despite my strength rivaling those in the Deep Sky Realm thanks to the Azure Dragon Body Technique. Xiao Mi is at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm. Once I sleep with her and obtain all her chi, I'll break through to the Golden Core Realm with a 100% guarantee, and I'll do so while maintaining my extremely strong foundation.' Lin Fan licked his lips as he thought, before pausing due to a knock on the door.
"I've come, Lin Fan, and I have Yu Ming and Xiao Mi with me. Should I come in?" Yu Kuan asked in a friendly tone after knocking on the door. His manner of addressing Lin Fan had changed since they were no longer alone.
"Of course, come in, Yu Kuan," Lin Fan replied indifferently, his eyes fixed on the door.
Yu Kuan entered after Lin Fan allowed him, followed by Xiao Mi, who appeared tense and uneasy, especially feeling Lin Fan's gaze on her.
As for Yu Ming, he was extremely nervous and frightened. Yu Kuan had just coldly scolded him before they arrived, ordering him to follow whatever Lin Fan said. 'Damn! My luck is terrible! How did this jerk win my father's favor to this extent, treating him as if they were on the same level? Also, my father told me that Lin Fan is most likely going to become a disciple of one of the ancestors, just like the young master. So, I must obey him and stay on his good side from now on. Damn it!'
Despite Yu Ming's thoughts, he nervously approached Lin Fan, who glared at him with disdain. Then, with clear hesitation, he looked at his father, who stared at him coldly. Yu Ming lowered his head, clenched his fists respectfully toward Lin Fan, and said, "I sincerely apologize, Lin Fan, for my bad behavior toward you. I hope you have a kind heart and forgive me for my ignorance."
Upon hearing Yu Ming's apology, a savage smile appeared on Lin Fan's face as he thought, 'It's time to enjoy myself a little!'
