"Don't go too far!"
The mysterious woman's face was so gloomy it seemed to drip water, and her gaze was like that of a cold, venomous snake, staring straight at Qin Feng, the killing intent within it sending chills down one's spine.
Seeing this, Qin Feng remained calm and composed. He merely raised his eyebrows slightly, a faint, ambiguous smile playing on his lips, and softly asked, "Is this what you wanted to say to me?"
The mysterious woman was instantly speechless with anger. Her graceful body trembled involuntarily with rage, and she clenched her teeth, making a "clucking" sound.
However, although her anger was about to reach its peak, reason told her that she must not act impulsively at this moment.
After all, she was currently in this dark and eerie place, and she needed to rely on the man in front of her to escape.
So, the mysterious woman took a deep breath and used all her strength to forcefully suppress the raging anger burning within her.
A moment later, her face, which had been contorted with anger, gradually returned to calm, replaced by a very forced smile.
Immediately afterwards, she said directly, "Just tell me what you need! I will try my best to meet any condition that will allow me to leave here."
Hearing this, Qin Feng finally nodded in satisfaction.
Then he narrowed his eyes, looked at the mysterious woman with a grin, and slowly said, "In that case, before I make any specific demands, you must first tell me your true identity."
"Also, by the way, tell me who exactly is responsible for trapping you in this godforsaken place?"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's question, the mysterious woman slightly furrowed her beautiful, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows, pressed her lips tightly together, and remained silent like a statue.
Time passed by, second by second. After a while, the mysterious woman finally noticed that Qin Feng's expression was gradually becoming impatient.
She sighed softly, as if she had made a decision, and reluctantly opened her cherry lips to say softly, "My name is Qinglan, and I was once an ancient god!"
After saying this, Qinglan paused for a moment, as if recalling those glorious years of the past.
She continued, "The reason I was trapped here by the Immortal Locking Formation is that I fell into the trap set by the Ancient Demon Clan's Demon Lord of the Sky."
At this point, a hint of resentment and unwillingness flashed in Qinglan's eyes.
"If nothing unexpected happens, then the Demon Lord of the Sky should already be sealed in the Demon Suppression Tower."
"Hmph, he got what he deserved!"
After speaking, Qinglan looked directly at Qin Feng and said in a calm tone, "Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask them all at once!"
At this moment, Qin Feng was filled with astonishment, staring blankly at the mysterious woman in front of him who called herself Qinglan.
She was surrounded by dense black demonic energy, yet she claimed that she was once an incomparably noble ancient god.
What earth-shattering changes happened in between?
Thinking of this, Qin Feng couldn't suppress his intense curiosity and blurted out, "Since you were originally an ancient god, why do you now exude such a strong demonic aura?"
Qinglan sighed softly, her tone filled with helplessness and regret: "Spending countless long years in such a gloomy, terrifying, and dark place, no matter how good one's state of mind is, I'm afraid one will eventually find it difficult to escape the fate of becoming a demon!"
A hint of bitterness and despair appeared on her beautiful but slightly pale face.
Qin Feng blinked and nodded thoughtfully, indicating that he agreed with Qing Lan's statement.
Indeed, a person in such a harsh environment surrounded by dense demonic energy is constantly being eroded and invaded by it.
To maintain one's inner clarity and authenticity, and to remain unaffected by the interference of evil forces from the outside world, is an incredibly difficult task!
However, what puzzled Qin Feng was that since Qing Lan was already exuding a torrent of demonic energy, why did she keep saying that she was only half a demonic cultivator?
Thinking of this, Qin Feng could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked, "Why is he only half a demonic cultivator?"
Qinglan turned her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over Qin Feng, before slowly explaining, "This is because my divinity still exists within me."
"After some time, the demonic energy within my body will be suppressed by divinity."
"At that time, I will briefly transform back into an ancient god!"
"However, in another year or two, I will turn back into a demonic cultivator!"
"Therefore, I can only be considered half a demonic cultivator!"
Hearing this, Qin Feng blinked his bright eyes and asked with great curiosity, "Then... what is divinity?"
Qinglan gazed gently at Qin Feng and said slowly, "The so-called divinity is a unique quality that one possesses when becoming an ancient god."
"Its connotation is all-encompassing, not only covering the source of the ancient gods' powerful strength, but also encompassing the power of the believers' unwavering faith, as well as a profound and subtle understanding and insight into the complex rules of the world."
Qin Feng blinked and nodded vaguely, indicating that he barely understood what was said.
Qinglan nodded slightly and continued, "Now, I am trapped here. Although my divinity is constantly being eroded and worn down by the surrounding demonic energy, if I can successfully break free and find some rare spiritual items to nourish and replenish myself, I might be able to completely escape my current awkward situation as a half-demon cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he raised his head and asked, "So, in your opinion, which spiritual objects would be of benefit to you?"
Upon hearing this, Qinglan shook her head slightly, looking troubled, and said, "I only know that what is needed is some extremely ancient and mysterious spiritual object, but as for what exactly it is, I have no idea."
Qin Feng was speechless. If you don't know, then what are you talking about?
Immediately, Qin Feng changed the subject. "I'll state my conditions now!"
"I can help you break the Immortal Locking Formation, but you must agree to three conditions!"
"Your first condition is that you must become my maid for ten years!"
"The second condition..."
"Uh, I haven't thought about it yet, we'll talk about it later!"
"But you can rest assured, you are absolutely capable of fulfilling the remaining two conditions!"
Qinglan frowned slightly, her expression shifting between light and dark.
She was an ancient god, after all, and naturally proud. How could she possibly be willing to be Qin Feng's maid?
