Is the deputy clan leader of the You Rong clan?

Chi Yuan's gaze sharpened. Given this woman's status, she must undoubtedly be a Saint-level expert, and very likely a high-level Saint. Could it be that You Rong Qingyan has already gained the support of the You Rong clan, and this woman has come to negotiate with him?

He slapped away You Rong Qingyan's hand that was massaging his shoulder, stood up and greeted her, saying, "Junior greets Senior You Rong."

Seeing Chi Yuan's resistant reaction to You Rong Qingyan, You Rong Mingxia smiled slightly and said, "Young master, you don't need to feel sorry for Qingyan. Since she has recognized you as her master, everything belongs to you. You can do whatever you want with her. You don't need to care about the attitude of the You Rong family."

"Senior You Rong, you should just say what you have to say."

Chi Yuan did not want to dwell on this topic.

"If that's the case, then I'll be frank."

“Young Master Fufeng, the Rong clan can grant your wish to not support Ye Chen, and even offer his life to you, but you must also give the Rong clan equal terms, which is to establish a marriage alliance with the Rong clan and have a child who becomes the divine son or daughter of our clan.”

"Of course, given your special status, you can choose from a wide range of potential marriage partners. Whether it's Qingyan, your former master Qingxian, or those three girls Xinya, Hanyou, and Lianxin, you can choose any of them. Not only them, but any woman from the Rong family who catches your eye can become your wife or concubine."

You Rongmingxia paused, stepped onto Chi Yuan's side on her golden lotus feet, turned her head to look at Chi Yuan, and said with a slight smile, "Even... including me!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan sighed inwardly. He now understood why You Rong Qingyan was so wary and cautious of the You Rong clan. This clan was truly willing to sacrifice anything to win over geniuses.

Seemingly sensing what Chi Yuan was thinking, Rong Mingxia smiled calmly: "I know that you scoff at this, thinking that the actions of the Rong clan are despicable and unworthy of respect, but this is the way for my clan to survive and continue."

"Throughout history, countless races have resorted to any means to survive, reproduce, prosper, and grow stronger. Demonic sects slaughtered cities and exterminated clans, using living beings as sustenance. Empires and dynasties left countless corpses, using living beings as sacrifices. Even those high-ranking clans and holy sects, in the process of reproduction and development, have caused countless calamities and created countless horrific massacres. In comparison, my Rong clan, which relies on marriage to attach itself to the strong for survival and development, has been very kind to this world."

"Whether you mock or scold me, it doesn't matter to my clan. As long as we can attach ourselves to you, the future supreme powerhouse, and allow our clan to enjoy a glorious and dignified life for tens of thousands of years, any price is worth it. If you really think highly of me, why not let me throw myself into your arms?"

Chi Yuan frowned and remained silent. He simply could not accept the Rong family's actions. How was this any different from treating women as commodities on a shelf?

"It seems that the young master is unwilling to accept this condition."

Rong Mingxia's eyes gleamed with wisdom, and she understood Chi Yuan's attitude. She did not press Chi Yuan, and said with a faint smile, "It doesn't matter. Young Master has a second option. My clan leader has discussed with the higher-ups of the Shenxiao Sect and will send Ye Chen to the Yingyue Sect for five years of training. During these five years, the Shenxiao Sect will not interfere with Ye Chen's life or death. Young Master can use any means to kill him."

"If Ye Chen dies at your hands, then you need not make any promises to our clan. Our clan will fully support you. However, if you fail to kill Ye Chen after five years and do not marry a woman from our clan and have children, then we must ask for your forgiveness. Our clan will have no choice but to protect Ye Chen."

"Of course, as compensation to you, young master, our clan is willing to incur great karma and erase Ye Chen's memories. If you are still not satisfied, we can also erase Ye Chen's soul. I wonder if you would agree?"

"Ye Chen must die!"

Chi Yuan's answer was simple and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation: "I will kill him."

Rong Mingxia was secretly pleased with Chi Yuan's decisive answer, but said calmly, "Then I congratulate you in advance on getting your revenge, young master."

"When you have successfully avenged yourself, I will hand this man over to you for disposal."

Rong Mingxia raised her hand and scattered a golden light, and a golden light screen appeared in the void, showing the scene of Pei Qingyun being imprisoned in a chained prison.

"I'm sorry to have bothered you tonight, young master. I suppose you have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

As the last sentence fell, Rong Mingxia disappeared, and the illusion of the golden lake vanished, revealing the original appearance of the guest room.

However, while Rong Mingxia left, she left Rong Qingyan behind. At this moment, Rong Qingyan was gazing intently at Chi Yuan.
