Reborn Rich and Pretty

  Chapter Name: Conditions

  Xuanyin suddenly fell into despair, with a bewildering scene before her eyes. What to do? Was she really going to give up like this? But if she gave up, what about her people? They were still waiting for her to return with the Linghuan Pearl. The Linghuan Pearl was the source of life for their kingdom; without it, all that awaited them was destruction. She had to get it no matter what.

  Having determined her goal, Xuan Yin slowly raised her head to look at Leng Xiao. Her purple eyes emitted a firm and resplendent light as she sincerely said: "Your Majesty the Demon King, I beg of you to lend me the Huan Ling Pearl." No matter what, she had to borrow it, even if it meant risking her life. At that instant, the radiance in the sky seemed to converge, adding an extra layer of sacred light to her already extraordinary beauty.

  His eyes, as cold and dark as a winter pond, flickered with a hint of surprise, but quickly recovered. He looked at her with disdain and said in a chilly tone, "Do you think I would lend something so important to you?" What a ridiculous dream, women are all the same, he wouldn't be swayed by the radiance emitted by the woman in front of him.

  "Your Majesty the Demon King, I beg of you to lend me the Phantom Spirit Pearl. I am willing to pay any price." Xuan Yin said firmly once again as she looked at the Demon King.

  He sneered, his eyes narrowing as he gazed at her. He really couldn't believe that this woman would stop at nothing to get the Illusory Pearl. His icy gaze turned even colder, his lips curling up into a faint smile as he stepped closer to Xuan Yin. He grasped her pointed chin firmly, forcing her to look him straight in the eye. "What price are you willing to pay?" Including your own dignity? He asked, his tone tinged with interest, but his expression remained icy cold.

  "Yes!" Xuan Yin replied with a firm tone, her chin was pinched to the point of pain, but she refused to back down, she had her own dignity. Her purple eyes were forced to meet his icy gaze, his eyes were as deep as a pool of water, causing her heart to respond involuntarily with intense palpitations to this strange and unfamiliar feeling.

  His eyes seemed to feel her violent heartbeat, and the disdain in his eyes deepened. His paralyzed face still didn't change a bit, his voice was cold like the icy snow at the foot of the mountain, with a hint of sarcasm, he said calmly: "When you become my female slave for a year, I'll lend you the Illusory Pearl. How about it?"

  Female slave? Xuan Yin was stunned for a moment. Then her heart calmed down, looking into the cold and gloomy eyes, she slowly nodded, "I promise you." Being a female slave is just being a female slave, for the sake of her people, no matter how much suffering she would endure, her eyes shone with dazzling light.

  He gazed at her bright eyes, thinking she was like other women, willing to be a slave for the position next to his supreme authority. In his heart, he regarded her as someone who clung to fame, wealth and power. Women were indeed insincere creatures. He roughly released her chin, turned around emotionlessly and left. The only sound echoing in the grand hall was his icy voice, "From this moment on, you are my female slave."

  Xuan Yin stood there, gazing at the empty grand hall, her heart also filled with a chill.

  Before long, a maid in yellow clothes came out. She looked at her with disdain in her eyes. She walked up to her and sized her up, then gave her a contemptuous stare. "So you're the king's new female slave?" Unbelievable, women these days were getting more and more shameless, willing to be slaves for the king.

  Xuan Yin's bitter smile, slightly nodded her head, and softly said: "Yes." She finally deeply understood what it means to be under someone's roof and have no choice but to lower one's head.

  "Come with me." The maid said coldly, turning and walking forward.

  Xuanyin followed her slowly to the front, passing through the main hall, and came to a corridor that seemed endless. The walls on both sides of the corridor were carved with vivid patterns, including birds, lions, leopards, people, trees, and flowers.

  After walking along the corridor for about half an hour, a vast expanse suddenly opened up before my eyes. Before me stood rows of buildings filled with Romanesque style, grand and majestic.

  The maid led Xuanyin through several turns and opened one of the rooms. The room was very simple, with only a bed and a wooden wardrobe, nothing else.

  The maid smiled, with a face full of schadenfreude, "This will be your room from now on, remember to attend the king's wake-up call every morning, serve him water for washing... do you understand?" The maid saw Xuan Yin nodding, she let out a cold hum and slammed the door shut.

  Xuan Yin walked to the window, opened it, and a warm breeze carrying the scent of flowers and fresh grass wafted in. Outside was an ocean of flowers - red, purple, yellow, white, and green. Familiar and unfamiliar blooms covered every inch of ground, and she smiled faintly, her eyes filled with nothing but flowers.

  "Bang!" The door was pushed open again, and Xuan Yin turned around to see a maid throwing a blue coarse linen dress onto her bed. She looked at the silver long dress on Xuan Yin's body with envy, it was so beautiful and elegant. She felt jealous and glared at Xuan Yin fiercely, saying in a sharp and sarcastic tone: "Female slave, quickly change out of your clothes, this is what you should be wearing."

  Xuan Yin looked at the maid coldly and said lightly, "I understand, you can go out now." Her tone had an air of authority that made people dare not resist.

  The maid was taken aback for a moment, then thought of Xuan Yin's current status. "You're just a female slave now, what's so great about that? Hmph!" She glared at her angrily and stormed out, slamming the door shut behind her.

  Xuan Yin helplessly shook his head and let out a deep sigh, it's really a case of a tiger falling into a plain and being bullied by dogs, a dragon in shallow waters being teased by shrimps.

  A purple light flashed, and the delicate figure of Ziling appeared before her, with a face full of anger. "Master, that woman just now was too much! What status is Master, can she be deceived? I'll go and destroy her." After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to chase after her.

  Xuan Yin's eyes sparkled as he quickly grabbed her, his lips curling up into a faint smile. He pinched her cheek gently and said, "Little Ling, don't be angry. If she dares to do this, someone must have instructed her. We're currently on someone else's turf, so let's endure it for now. Besides, one year will pass quickly." For the sake of her people, she would persevere through any hardship.

  "Master, since you've already made up your mind, it's better to inform the gods about it, so they won't worry." Zi Ling reminded with a thoughtful tone.

  Xuan Yin nodded, and Zi Ling reminded her that she had really forgotten. She closed her eyes and called out to Gong and the others with her divine sense.

  Very soon, a response was received. Xuan Yin opened his eyes and saw a light circle slowly appearing in front of him, with ripples shimmering on the surface, gradually revealing the silhouettes of five gods.

  "Yuner, are you okay? When will you be back?" The palace guard in white robes had a worried look in his enchanting eyes.

  Xuan Yin smiled faintly, the soft sunlight shining on her beautiful face, her skin as white as snow, without a single blemish, like a top-grade jade. "I won't be back for now, I promised the Demon King to stay here for a year." She couldn't let them know that the Demon King had made her his female slave in exchange for the Illusory Spirit Pearl, if they found out, they would definitely not agree.

  Although the Music Kingdom was just a small and insignificant country to the Dark Kingdom, she was after all its queen. If they knew their queen was serving as a female slave in another country, it would be a humiliation for them, so no matter what, she wouldn't tell them about this.

  "No! We disagree." The gods chorused in unison.

  Xuan Yin shook her head firmly and said with a determined face: "I've already made up my mind about this matter, no need to say more."

  "But why must it be a year?" Yu Lan's eyes were filled with incomprehension as she asked. The other gods nodded in agreement, their faces serious as they waited for her answer.

  Xuan Yin's heart skipped a beat, how to say it? She slightly turned her purple eyes, thinking for a moment, "The Huan Ling Pearl is the symbol of the Demon Queen, I promised the Demon King that I would find a way to chase after the woman he has a crush on, and when they get married, I will ask the Demon Queen to lend it to me." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

  "Really?" Wu Shen Jun's eyes were filled with incredulous inquiry. The Demon King needed her help to chase after a woman? What a joke.

  Xuan Yin looked at them with a sincere expression, nodding desperately. "Yes... of course, anyway, after they get married, I'll borrow the Huan Ling Pearl and come back. That's it, if you need anything else, just look for me." She hastily waved her hand, and the light circle quickly disappeared before their eyes. Alas! Lying is really hard, and deceiving those gods is even harder.

  At dawn when the sky had just brightened, Xuan Yin arrived at Leng Bo's palace.

  She walked elegantly into his bedroom, the heavy golden velvet curtains hanging down with tassels, blocking out the dazzling sunlight outside, and complementing the thick black woolen carpet, making the whole room look extraordinary.

  On the large black bed in the middle that could accommodate five or six people, Leng Bo was fast asleep.

  Xuan Yin arrived at the bedside, gently calling out to the cold and stiff figure on the bed, "Your Majesty the Demon King, it's time to get up!" The black quilt only covered his waist, exposing his broad back with a warm, golden undertone, exuding a strong masculine aura. Unlike his usual calm and collected demeanor when awake, his disheveled hair scattered across his forehead, covering those deep, icy eyes, also adding a hint of lazy sensuality to his sharp features that seemed chiseled from stone.

  The stillness of the cold sweat, like a black panther resting in the jungle, under its calm appearance, there is a silent tension that makes people want to get close, yet fear that the sleeping beast will suddenly jump up and grab their most vital spot.

  Suddenly, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the mysterious sound in front of him clearly, she was wearing simple clothes, but not only did it not cover up her jade-like elegance, but it also added a few more lotus-like touches of elegance. She actually looked even more beautiful than yesterday when she wore luxurious clothes.

  This damned woman must have deliberately dressed up so beautifully to seduce him, the disdain in his icy eyes deepened, he growled slightly angrily: "Female slave, attend to my changing!"

  Xuan Yin looked at Leng Bo with some confusion, it seemed that this arrogant man still had a temper in the morning. "Yes! Your Majesty the Demon King."

  Leng Buo stretched out his hand, and on his extremely masculine body, healthy wheat-colored skin with clear muscle lines, thick and sturdy, was full of strength.

  Xuan Yin's face turned red, her heart couldn't help but jump up and down, she picked up the clothes beside him, carefully helping him put them on. Her soft hands accidentally slid over his firm chest, causing a slight tremble in both of them.

  The accidental touch made her face, which was already flushed with a rosy glow, even redder and more alluring, adding to the temptation.

  A fierce anger flashed in his icy gaze, making his face, like cold jade, even more chillingly pale. This damned woman must have done it on purpose, he thought to himself, women were all vain creatures after all.

  He turned around, dressed in black, looking so domineering, cold, arrogant and invincible. Like a black male lion, he looked down on his territory from high above.

  "Female slave, don't try to play these petty tricks again, don't think about using this to achieve your shameless goals." He looked at Xuan Yin with a gaze full of disdain and contempt, and strode out of the bedroom.
