Chapter 78: Willing to be a Servant


    < Chapter 78: Willing to be a Servant >


    Han Ming seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Ning Zhuo, her eyes shining brightly, full of curiosity.


    She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and cautiously asked, "May I ask, sir, was it you who killed this old ape?"


    Under the mask, Ning Zhuo squinted slightly, "Yes, it was me. So what?"


    Han Ming immediately gasped and adjusted her posture, dropping to her knees and bowing deeply to Ning Zhuo. "Sir, this humble girl is willing to be your servant, willing to sign a soul contract, and serve you for life!"


    Ning Zhuo couldn''t help but frown, feeling quite strange about Han Ming''s behavior.


    Initially, when Ning Zhuo had captured Han Ming alive and used her to supply soul essence, Han Ming had been extremely disgusted and hated Ning Zhuo.


    Later, her attitude softened because she feared death and had no choice but to submit.


    But now, Ning Zhuo could genuinely feel her sincerity and wholehearted submission.Of course, Ning Zhuo''s perception might be wrong, but Han Ming''s attitude indeed gave him the feeling that it had fundamentally changed!


    "Why?" Ning Zhuo looked down at Han Ming and asked indifferently.


    Han Ming took a deep breath and straightened her upper body, while her lower body remained kneeling. She gazed up at Ning Zhuo. "Sir, do you know about the concept of ‘qi fate''?"


    Ning Zhuo frowned, thought for a moment, and replied, "I know a little."


    "The ‘qi'' in ‘qi fate'' refers to breath."


    "We humans start breathing from birth, and it ends when our life does. The number of breaths we take is our ‘qi fate.''"


    "Therefore, many cultivators do not advocate fighting and strive to maintain a peaceful state of mind."


    "Because injuries from fighting greatly reduce one''s ‘qi fate.'' Emotions such as anger, fear, despair, or extreme joy often cause rapid breathing, which reduces ‘qi fate.''"


    "Therefore, many cultivators advocate avoiding conflict and maintaining a peaceful mind, often leading to longevity."


    Han Ming nodded, "This exnation of ‘qi fate'' is indeed the most widely circted in the cultivation world. It does reveal part of the essence, but it''s notplete."


    "I was fortunate enough to read a book in my sect, called ‘Qi Fate Theory, Volume One.'' It is a secret calction ssic from the Tian Gui Mansion."


    Ning Zhuo raised an eyebrow slightly.


    He had heard of Tian Gui Mansion.


    It was a super sect, extremely mysterious, with very few disciples. However, whenever a disciple appeared in the world, they often brought about significant changes in the entire cultivation world. This was because each generation''s disciples would choose the True Child of Destiny, guiding the great trend, leading to the destruction of old cultivation nations and the establishment of new ones.


    Ning Zhuo secretly sighed, "The Soul-Devouring Sect that Han Ming belongs to is indeed a major demonic sect, having such high-quality books in its collection."


    As for himself, over the past decade, he had only been able to browse the Ning family''s library. And that was the public library, not the secret library.


    "Continue," Ning Zhuo said.


    Han Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva, still kneeling on the ground, "The ‘Qi Fate Theory'' states that everyone''s ‘qi fate'' is different. Some have more, some have less, some are strong, some are weak."


    "The higher one''s spiritual root and talent, the more and stronger their ‘qi fate'' tends to be."


    "Among them, those with extraordinary talent are considered to have immortal potential, possessing the most and the strongest ‘qi fate.''"


    "Those who possess immortal qualifications often have continuous fortune and opportunities presenting themselves."


    "They will never easily fall into desperate situations; there will always be a glimmer of hope. As long as they seize it, they can survive through hardship, narrowly escaping death, and eventually turn misfortune into blessing."


    "For those with ordinary fate, dealing with such individuals always leads to various unexpected events, either due to their own mistakes or external interference, ultimately resulting in failure."


    Upon hearing this, Ning Zhuo felt a slight stir in his heart, understanding the reason behind Han Ming''s change in attitude.


    "Interesting, don''t stop."


    "Yes." Han Ming continued, "I remember ‘The Theory of Fate'' lists many examples, all of which happened in reality."


    "Many possessors of immortal qualifications have faced various forms of suppression. As long as they can withstand and adapt, they often achieve rapid improvement in some aspect due to the pressure."


    "And those who attempt to deal with the possessors of immortal qualifications often meet bad ends."


    "In the process of confronting such individuals, their fate diminishes, affecting their mind, causing confusion and emotional turmoil, leading to numerous wrong judgments and actions."


    "In the end, they bring suffering upon themselves and court their own demise."


    "Those with immortal qualifications cannot be easily in by ordinary people!"


    At this point, Han Ming looked at the young puppet master Ning Zhuo with a noticeable fervor in his eyes.


    "I understand what you mean," Ning Zhuo replied, habitually maintaining his humility. "However, although I eliminated Yuan Dasheng this time, it was with the help of external forces. This action might be the result of my fatebined with others'' fate, whose total surpassed that of Yuan Dasheng."


    Han Ming immediately shook her head. "Sir, ording to ‘The Theory of Fate,'' when two parties cooperate, their fates do not simply add together. Sometimes, they even diminish each other due to internal conflicts."


    "‘The Theory of Fate'' gives the examples of Nie Xiongfeng and Chu Liuyun. You should know that both of them were possessors of immortal qualifications and were enemies. At first, Nie Xiongfeng underestimated Chu Liuyun and sent subordinates to hunt him down continuously."


    "Chu Liuyun honed himself through these repeated pursuits, growing stronger with each battle. Eventually, he turned the tables and defeated Nie Xiongfeng."


    The conflict between these two figures was widely known in the cultivation world. Their struggle led to the downfall of a super sect and the rise of another.


    Han Ming sighed. "An immortal qualification appears in only one out of a million cultivators. This ratio is based on cultivators, not ordinary people."


    "Every possessor of immortal qualifications has an immensely strong fate and extraordinary opportunities."


    "Even if two top-tier talents were to cooperate with perfect sincerity, theirbined fates would still be far inferior to that of a super-tier talent."


    "I see," Ning Zhuo snorted coldly. "You''ve figured it out. Indeed, I am a super-tier talent!"


    Han Ming was momentarily stunned but then rejoiced. She bowed again. "Sir, this humble girl is willing to serve you wholeheartedly as your servant."


    She had already yielded before.


    This time, having deduced that Ning Zhuo possessed immortal qualifications, her pride as a member of a major demonic sect vanishedpletely.


    It was known that even a major demonic sect would have no more than ten individuals with immortal qualifications.


    Aligning herself with such a person promised a bright future!


    Of course, Han Ming''s actions were also driven by fear.


    During this period, she had consumed far too many monkey souls. She had no desire to be a woman-monkey!


    Ning Zhuo nodded slightly.


    He himself was uncertain about his concealed talent, but at this moment, he didn''t care about the truth; agreeing was the best choice.


    "This old man will reluctantly ept you," the young puppet master Ning Zhuo''s voice remained hoarse.


    "Thank you for your mercy, my lord!" Han Ming eximed excitedly, bowing her head.


    When she looked up, she added, "I must also congratte you, my lord. By eliminating someone with immortal qualifications, your own fate will greatly increase!"


    "Oh? What is the reasoning behind this?" Ning Zhuo asked, curious.
