Become a slave and servant???

Gu Changfeng froze, his face filled with utter disbelief.

What kind of drama was this now?

Why did she suddenly want to become a slave and servant?

Gu Changfeng looked at the young woman before him, his eyes filled with strange perplexity.

She wore a black sword robe, its hem and cuffs sparsely embroidered with a few silver-threaded winter plums, simple in pattern.

Between her brows lingered a natural aloofness, and her jet-black hair was tied up high, revealing a smooth, full forehead.

Gu Changfeng had previously entertained the thought of taking in a maid.

However, he would not accept just any maid.

First of all, he was undeniably someone who judged by looks—she had to be gorgeous, that much was beyond question, right?

Beyond that, great looks were merely a bonus; Gu Changfeng felt that an upright character was the most important thing.

She had to be humble, not pick petty fights or stir up drama, and possess sound values.

Take Wang Rongrong, who had appeared out of nowhere before, for instance.

That woman was the most bizarre and narcissistic female Gu Changfeng had ever met in his life.

She acted as if every man in the world had to revolve around her.

For a woman like that, Gu Changfeng wouldn't even entertain the idea of taking her as a maid.

As for Jian Wenmei, he did not know what her true character was like.

Yet judging from her respect for her grandfather, her desperate determination to purchase a millennium of Lifespan, and her willingness even to become a slave and servant...

It was evident that she was a filial person.

Moreover, she was an aloof-type beauty with skin so fair it was almost translucent, a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, and irises as pitch-black as a frigid pool in perpetual night.

Just that bearing alone reminded him of his Master, Ling Tianshuang.

Taking her as a servant wasn't really a problem.

Yet before that, he still had a question he wanted to ask.

"Why do you want to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath?"

Gu Changfeng stared blankly for a long moment before looking at Jian Wenmei and asking.

Jian Wenmei was similarly taken aback by Gu Changfeng's words, freezing in place.

Her cherry lips fluttered slightly, but in the end, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Because once a Heavenly Dao Oath was sworn, there was no revoking it.

Within the Myriad Realms Auction...

In the inverted sea of Chaos stars, hundreds of millions of slowly drifting rays of starlight instantly froze, as if pinned down by an invisible giant hand.

Immediately after, a supreme pressure—vast, boundless, and devoid of the slightest emotion—crashed down from the deepest void!

The moment this pressure descended, Jian Wenmei sensed the terrifying nature of this world.

"Just what kind of place is this?!"

Jian Wenmei's phoenix eyes dilated slightly, her breathing grew ragged, and her chest heaved softly up and down.

The commotion caused by swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath here was truly mind-boggling!

Jian Wenmei was not someone lacking in experience.

Zhenshi Sword Court was a power that surpassed even a Holy Land, and the reason it could accommodate so many disciples was naturally because Zhenshi Sword Court was situated within a self-contained dimension.

Within that self-contained dimension, one was not bound by the Heavenly Dao of the Yanhuang Continent, but governed by another set of rules instead.

At the same time, she understood a principle.

The stronger a world was, the more potent its Heavenly Dao, and the greater the disturbance created when swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath.

Yet here in the Myriad Realms Auction, though she had guessed this space was extraordinary, she had never imagined it would be extraordinary to such a degree!

The scale of the phenomenon was so massive that it left her thoroughly shaken.

Even the knowledgeable Ancestor Jian Tian narrowed his eyes.

Due to the Heavenly Dao Oath, a golden beam of light was released from the inverted river of stars.

The golden beam shot directly into Jian Wenmei's glabella, instilling an absolute submission from the depths of her soul that made her instinctively want to prostrate herself before Gu Changfeng.

With her aloof personality, her instincts would never have allowed her to submit to anyone, especially the opposite sex.

Yet because of the Heavenly Dao Oath,

she had now submitted completely, her loyalty toward Gu Changfeng reaching one hundred percent.

She even harbored a natural affection for Gu Changfeng in her heart; no matter what command Gu Changfeng gave, she would carry it out!

Seeming to notice the change in Jian Wenmei's gaze, Gu Changfeng's brows knitted slightly.

That look brimming with tender affection was completely unlike anything a normal Heavenly Dao Oath should bring about.

Gu Changfeng also didn't believe his charm was enough to make a peerless beauty fall in love with him just by taking a Heavenly Dao Oath.

He had always possessed self-awareness, even if he was drop-dead handsome.

Thus, he secretly asked the System in his mind, "System, is swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath in your Myriad Realms Auction even normal?"

【Ding! Host, please rest assured. In the future, whenever anyone swears a Heavenly Dao Oath to Host, after modifications by this System, the origin will stem from the Myriad Realms Auction!】

【Items produced by the System are guaranteed top quality; it will definitely make Host an irresistible heartthrob!】

Gu Changfeng: "..."

Gu Changfeng shook his head helplessly. He had thought it strange that the way Jian Wenmei looked at him before and after swearing the Heavenly Dao Oath was far too bizarre.

Turns out the System had meddled halfway through.

It had sneaked in some of its own private perks!

Still, Gu Changfeng wouldn't complain much.

After all, as long as the loyalty was one hundred percent, that was all that mattered!

One had to realize that even after swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath, loyalty wasn't necessarily one hundred percent.

Rumor had it that methods to undo a Heavenly Dao Oath also existed.

Nothing was ever absolute.

Yet now with the System around, it could alter this uncertain variable!

As for sneaking in perks, so be it.

To Gu Changfeng, it didn't seem like a bad thing anyway.

"In reply to Master, because you are a man."

Gu Changfeng paused, his eyes filled with sheer confusion.

He had asked Jian Wenmei why she wanted to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath, and she answered that it was because he was male.

What did that mean?

Seeing Gu Changfeng's confusion, Jian Wenmei felt a hint of shame, realizing she seemed to have overthought things.

After all, Gu Changfeng was the Master of the Myriad Realms Auction.

With his heaven-defying means, what kind of woman could he not have?

Yet she had completely misread Gu Changfeng's intentions.

It was practically flattering herself beyond reason!

This was an outright insult to Gu Changfeng!

Therefore, Jian Wenmei took the initiative to plead guilty, dropping to her knees and pressing her forehead against the icy floor.

"Master, I misunderstood your intentions."

"You chose to sponsor our Sword Court with 2.5 billion, and even used your privileges to let us win the bid for one thousand years of Lifespan... I thought your true aim was me!"

Hearing Jian Wenmei's words, Gu Changfeng was rendered speechless, ultimately facepalming with a helpless look.

To think that a simple action of his had been overanalyzed by her with so many ulterior motives.

"If I told you that from the very beginning, my goal wasn't actually you..."

"...would you believe me?"

Gu Changfeng asked with complicated emotions written all over his face.

After Jian Wenmei stood back up, she nodded and said earnestly, "I believe Master."

The corner of Gu Changfeng's mouth twitched. He turned toward Ancestor Jian Tian, whose Lifespan was steadily increasing, and asked, "Senior, how do you feel?"

Ancestor Jian Tian felt the vigorous life force within his body; this sensation made him feel as if he had regained his youth!

"I feel exceptionally well!"

"I feel wonderful!"

"Young friend, thank you."

"Since you didn't do this for Meier, you must want to obtain something from this old man, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Changfeng chuckled heartily, waved his sleeve, and said, "Senior is truly wise!"

"What I desire is a medal of yours!"
