Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

Jiang Yining patted her sleeves and turned to walk towards the large, ancient ice jade bed.

Before she could even sit down.

boom!

A deafening roar came from outside.

The entire top floor of the Dan Tower shook violently.

The three defensive runes that Gu Qinghan had personally set up on the wall flashed wildly, emitting a piercing alarm sound.

Click.

A crack appeared in the outermost layer of the restriction.

"Vice Tower Master Zhao, this is forbidden territory for the Tower Master; you cannot force your way in!"

"Get out of my way! I received a secret report that a wanted criminal by the Star Spirits has infiltrated the top floor of the Pill Tower. The Tower Master Gu is in seclusion, undoubtedly bewitched by that vixen. Even if I offend the Tower Master today, I will cleanse the Pill Tower of its corruption!"

The rough sound penetrated the walls.

With the powerful pressure of the early stage of the Dao Inquiry Realm, it swept over like a tsunami.

boom!

The last gate was violently smashed down.

Smoke and dust rose everywhere.

Zhao Wudu strode into the laboratory.

Behind him followed twelve fully armed elite officers from the Enforcement Hall, each exuding a murderous aura.

Jiang Yining stood beside the glass platform.

Her clothes were still a little loose because of the "inspection" just now, revealing half of her fair collarbone.

She did not panic.

There wasn't even a dodge attempt.

He simply watched quietly as the uninvited guests broke in.

Zhao Wudu's gaze swept around the surroundings, finally settling on Jiang Yining.

Unregistered resident.

There is no identity badge from the Canglan Realm.

The strong smell of medicine and... Gu Qinghan's original aura still lingered on his body.

"As expected, it was hidden here." Zhao Wudu sneered.

He strode closer, his spiritual energy surging, shattering the surrounding jade bottles.

"This enchantress of unknown origin dares to defile the sacred grounds of the Pill Tower! Guards, seize her and subject her accomplices to severe torture!"

Two elite enforcers immediately drew their Soul-Locking Chains and pounced on Jiang Yining like hungry wolves.

The chains made a sharp, whistling sound as they pierced the air.

He went straight for her collarbone.

Jiang Yining didn't even lift her eyelids.

She slowly and deliberately adjusted her clothes to cover her collarbone.

"The deputy tower master is quite imposing."

"They even dared to smash up the tower master's private area. If you didn't know better, you'd think this Pill Tower was now owned by the Zhao family."

Zhao Wudu's face darkened.

"Still talking tough even when you're about to die! The Protoss envoy will be arriving soon. You, a wanted criminal with a bounty of millions, are the best gift I can offer the envoy!"

"Take it down!"

The Soul-Locking Chain was only three inches away from Jiang Yining's shoulder.

Jiang Yining did not back down.

She didn't even mobilize her spiritual power.

He simply stood there quietly, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Just as the chains were about to touch her skin.

click!

The two thick soul-locking chains instantly froze into ice.

Followed by.

A muffled thud.

The ice block shattered, turning into ice shards that filled the air.

The two elite enforcers who rushed forward were struck as if by lightning, flying backward and crashing heavily against the wall, spitting out blood.

An extremely cold aura swept in from outside the door.

The temperature in the entire laboratory plummeted to freezing.

White frost had condensed on the walls, the ground, and even in the air.

"Did you kick down my door?"

Cold, low, and carrying a suffocating murderous intent.

Gu Qinghan walked slowly into the laboratory, stepping on the frost-covered ground.

He was still wearing a spotless, moon-white robe.

But at this moment, his pale gray eyes were churning with undisguised ferocity.

Zhao Wudu's breath hitched.

The pressure from the early stage of the Dao Inquiry Realm was like a mouse encountering a cat in front of Gu Qinghan, instantly suppressed.

"Tower Master," Zhao Wu forced a bow, "this woman's origins are unknown, and she is highly likely a wanted criminal by the Star Spirit Clan. I am only acting for the safety of the Pill Tower..."

"Shut up."

Gu Qinghan uttered two words.

There were no unnecessary movements.

He simply raised his hand and waved it through the air.

Snapped!

A resounding slap.

Zhao Wu spun around three times on the spot, and half of his face instantly swelled up like a pig's head.

Several bloody teeth flew out.

The entire room fell silent.

The twelve elite enforcers of the Enforcement Hall were so frightened that their legs went weak and they knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Zhao Wu covered his face, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Gu Qinghan actually slapped the face of the deputy tower master in public for the sake of a woman!

"Gu Qinghan! How dare you insult me!" Zhao Wudu roared. "Don't forget, I was sent by the Merchant Alliance to assist you in managing the Pill Tower! If you harbor a serious criminal and the Star Spirit Clan envoy finds out, the entire Pill Tower will be buried with you!"

Gu Qinghan didn't even glance at him.

He walked straight to Jiang Yining's side.

His gaze swept over her slightly disheveled clothes, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Then.

He took off his large outer robe embroidered with a silver medicine cauldron totem.

In front of everyone.

It was draped over Jiang Yining's shoulders.

The movements were gentle, yet carried an undeniable domineering air.

Jiang Yining was taken aback by this sudden action.

The nose was filled with a pleasant, slightly bitter medicinal scent.

"Lord Tower Master?" she asked in a low voice, her tone tinged with a hint of mockery.

Gu Qinghan ignored her.

He turned around, completely shielding Jiang Yining behind him.

Facing Zhao Wudu directly.

"Look carefully."

Gu Qinghan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire top floor.

"She is not some mysterious sorceress."

"In her hand lies the Purple Gold Token, personally bestowed by me."

Zhao Wudu's pupils suddenly contracted.

Jiang Yining was very cooperative.

She pulled the heavy purple-gold token from her sleeve pocket and peeked it out from above Gu Qinghan's shoulder.

Two slender, pale fingers held the token and waved it in front of Zhao Wudu.

The purplish-gold light stung Zhao Wudu's eyes.

"Seeing the order is like seeing the tower master."

Gu Qinghan stared coldly at Zhao Wudu.

"From this day forward, she will be my sole personal assistant, and also a de facto owner of this top-floor laboratory."

"This is my private property; who are you to tell me what to do?"

Private property.

These three words were pronounced very heavily.

Jiang Yining rolled her eyes behind her back.

This old virgin has a pretty strong possessive streak.

However, considering the ten million star stones she had just received, she tolerated it.

Zhao Wudu's face turned a mixture of pale and ashen.

With the issuance of the Purple Gold Token, Jiang Yining's identity was completely legalized.

In the Dan Tower, Gu Qinghan has absolute veto power.

"Great...very good!"

Zhao Wu gritted his teeth, staring intently at Jiang Yining behind Gu Qinghan.

"Since Tower Master Gu is determined to go her own way, then when the Star Spirit Clan's special envoy arrives in ten days, I hope the Tower Master can still protect her!"

"roll."

Gu Qinghan flicked his sleeve.

The raging frost power transformed into a hurricane.

They grabbed Zhao Wudu and the twelve elite soldiers and threw them out through the broken gate like trash.

boom!

The gate was sealed shut again by frost.

The world is quiet now.

Gu Qinghan turned around.

Looking at Jiang Yining, who was wearing her own outer robe and still playing with the Purple Gold Token in her hand.

"Is it fun?" he asked coldly.

Jiang Yining shrugged.

"It's alright. It's just a bit of a shame that the deputy tower master's combat strength was a little weak and we didn't get to fight him."

Gu Qinghan's forehead vein throbbed.

This woman really seems to thrive on chaos.

"The Star Spirit Clan envoy will arrive in ten days." Gu Qinghan walked to the glass platform and began to tidy up the jade bottle that Zhao Wudu had shattered. "During this time, you will stay here and are not allowed to go anywhere."

Jiang Yining leaned against the jade bed.

"Is the Tower Master planning to keep a mistress in a gilded cage?"

Gu Qinghan paused in her movements.

A suspicious red tinge appeared on the tips of her ears.

"I'm afraid you'll get beaten to death if you go out," he said through gritted teeth. "Starting tomorrow, you'd better get yourself in the right mindset."

Jiang Yining smiled.

She put the gold token back into her sleeve pocket.

"Don't worry, Tower Master. I take people's money and do their bidding. I'm a man of principle."

Gu Qinghan did not speak again.

However, the movements of tidying up the jade bottle were noticeably more forceful.

Jiang Yining looked at his slightly stiff back.

In a good mood.
