Chapter 1300 - 1300: The One-Year Deadline

The conditions set by Liu Zixuan are undoubtedly the most appropriate.

Moreover, the concessions he made were comfortable for the alluring beauty, and it didn't feel like he was coercing her.

To be honest, if Liu Zixuan had used a tough attitude to force her, she would certainly have fought back with all her strength.

After all, on this level, she is the true controller, and even if Liu Zixuan and his clone joined forces against her, she would not fear them!

After pondering for a moment: "If you've not deceived me, I can agree to be your subordinate for a while."

"Not long, just one year!" Liu Zixuan said with a smile.

The alluring beauty furrowed her eyebrows slightly: "Alright, let's set the duration to one year. If you've not tricked me, I'll be your subordinate for a year, and by then, you can make me do whatever you wish!"

Liu Zixuan paused and took out the Relic Pearl, "It is a small world, and you can freely use anything inside."

"Since you've said that, I'll lend you a hand."

Although Liu Zixuan initially used a relatively strong tone when mentioning the word "subordinate," he later showed an attitude of relative equality between the two, so the alluring beauty naturally relaxed most of her guard towards him.

The alluring beauty stepped forward two steps: "Before I enter, I will help you open the stairs leading to the thirteenth level."

"The thirteenth level? You can allow me to skip the twelfth layer directly to the thirteenth?" Liu Zixuan asked in bewilderment.

The alluring beauty looked at Liu Zixuan peculiarly: "This is the twelfth level!"

Liu Zixuan and his clone both widened their eyes suddenly: "We were just on the tenth level, how did we suddenly reach the twelfth?"

The alluring beauty looked at them as if they weren't lying and brushed her hair: "Was it the two strong figures, one black and one red, who opened the passage for you?"

"Yeah!" Liu Zixuan and his clone nodded in unison.

"Could it be because..." The alluring beauty seemed to guess something but didn't reveal it directly, instead, she patted Liu Zixuan's shoulder: "Since you've already come up, don't worry too much, skipping a level isn't bad for you."

"What is the challenge on the next level?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"You'll know only when you get up there, but it's best not to bring him along, otherwise you might lose horribly!" The alluring beauty said pointing at the clone.

Upon hearing this, the clone was instantly unhappy: "What the heck, beauty, I don't like your words. Look at this figure of mine, am I worse than him? Is my charisma inferior to his? Look at the way those ladies beside you gaze at me, and then at how they gaze at him, it's clear that I'm superior to him!"

The alluring beauty's mouth curled into a teasing arc, her delicate fingers drew gently in the air.

In an instant, everything around changed.

The beauties embraced by the clone turned into dried fox skins instantly, and the various delicacies laid out turned into corpses of rats and snakes. The pond that was previously clear now was filled with foul-smelling bloody water.

The gold and silver treasures beside the two pools transformed into rocks and shattered glass.

What was once like an emperor's harem had now turned into a demonic pit.

This stark contrast, however, didn't affect Liu Zixuan since he sensed something was off from the moment he entered, but the clone was startled and jumped out of the pool.

Pointing at those snakes and rats, he said: "So I was eating those things earlier?"

The alluring beauty nodded, stifling her laughter.

The clone pointed at those fox skins: "So those vile creatures were the ones kissing and touching me earlier?"

Immediately, the alluring beauty's face was filled with coldness: "Creatures? Are they creatures, or are you creatures? They turned into that form because you humans cruelly slaughtered them to enjoy yourselves, didn't you?"

The clone pursed his lips: "You speak as if you are not a human yourself!"

This statement would normally be considered an insult.

But this alluring beauty, it was evident, perhaps really isn't human!

Liu Zixuan gave a meaningful glance to the clone and then smiled at the alluring beauty: "He meant no offense."

"He might be your greatest aid, but he could also become your biggest hinderance. In any case, take care." The alluring beauty's figure flickered, and she turned into a burst of colorful mist merging into the Relic Pearl.

The clone complained discontentedly: "Hey hey hey, what did you mean by those words? Don't think you can speak nonsense just because you are beautiful!"

"Enough!" Liu Zixuan scolded, pointing at the devastation before them: "Look, this is all you were attached to just a moment ago!"

"All right, I see it now, you're the type to prioritize beauty over friendship, scolding me with high and mighty just because you've got a beauty by your side!" The clone grumbled in a bad mood.

Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead, to be honest, he wondered if this clone was there just for comic relief, how could someone be so outlandishly comedic!

He waved his hand, pointing to the just-opened passage by the alluring beauty: "I'll tackle the next layer myself."

"Fine, but I'm curious about one question." The clone leaned closer to Liu Zixuan: "Why didn't you ask more questions earlier?"

"Ask about what?" Liu Zixuan spread his hands.

"Ask her about her tribe, I feel it might be related to your family, and what her identity is, what kind of species she belongs to? Whether she has any sisters or not. You should've asked these things." The clone had a mischievous look all over his face.

After listening to these questions, Liu Zixuan promptly used the Relic Pearl to store him away.

Listening to the clone was like being surrounded by hundreds of buzzing bees.

As for the questions raised by the clone, except for a few boring ones, Liu Zixuan indeed intended to inquire.

But the successful negotiation with the alluring beauty was purely due to Liu Zixuan strategically using his wits, posing as an expert to impress the alluring beauty.

Had he bombarded her with a series of inquiries, it might have given the impression that Liu Zixuan was just some naive and ignorant kid.

There's still plenty of time in the future, the immediate concern is to make the alluring beauty believe that everything Liu Zixuan says is true.

Once she becomes his subordinate, those questions can be asked slowly!

Besides her own strength reaching the Life and Death Realm, the alluring beauty possessed illusion techniques that the Blazing Dragon Pupil X-ray Vision couldn't see through, which would aid Liu Zixuan immensely in future battles. Hence, acquiring such a subordinate is undoubtedly an excellent deal!

Liu Zixuan glanced at the passageway, then activated the X-ray Vision to scan around, seeing a strong figure in silver armor bound in a corner of an array, he casually released him from the array and leaped onto the thirteenth level stairway.

The strong figure in silver armor should be the true Gatekeeper of this level, Liu Zixuan was about to take the alluring beauty away, so naturally, he should grant him freedom.

After all, this level was cleared without much effort, some actions are necessary to balance the cause and effect perfectly...
