Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Chu Yueli
(A/N: Luke didn't cast the curse on Yueli because I changed the description of the curse a little. It can only be cast on an unconscious person that's weaker than the caster. This is just a rare-grade skill, so I didn't want to make it too powerful. You know that this skill is ridiculously OP, so I just wanted to add a little restriction. Only a legendary ability should have a ridiculous effect with limited to no drawbacks. Sorry about this, I won't change anything without informing you guys. Thanks for reading! ^^)
The next day, Yueli woke up with a splitting headache. She slowly scanned her surroundings and found them unfamiliar. When she looked to her left, she found a man sleeping next to her. He was extremely handsome, but she strangely didn't feel much attraction towards him.
After staring at him for a good few seconds, she started to remember yesterday's events, making her absolutely livid. She was certain that this guy was the one that sneaked attacked her. She quickly brought out her sword and slashed it at him, trying to kill him for his transgressions.
But, as soon as she tried to harm him, she started to feel an extreme amount of pain in her head. She clutched it painfully and screamed out loud while squatting on the floor. "Argh!!! Why am I having a headache now!?"
Her scream startled Luke awake. He looked at her in surprise but smirked soon afterward when he noticed her current predicament. He was pretty satisfied with the collar's function.
"So you wanted to harm me, huh? Now, feel the pain for your insolence." Luke said with a cruel smirk, making Yueli look at him hatefully. She wanted nothing more than to cut off the head of this hateful fellow.
"Who are you?! Why did you attack me? And what have you done to me?" Yueli asked with an icy gaze. She wanted to obtain more information about her current status.
"Greetings, Chu Yueli, one of the seven fairies of the 'Frozen Cloud Asgard.' My name is Luke Walker, and I'm your master starting today. As for why I attacked you yesterday, it's simple; you're a thorn in my side and a hindrance to my plans. I can't allow you to visit your disciple now and ruin all my efforts over the past few weeks. So I made you my little slave hehehe…" Luke said with a creepy chuckle, making Yueli stunned.
"What do you mean by that? I'm nobody's slave! I'll kill you if you keep spouting such nonsense!" Yueli declared hatefully while trying to slay Luke with her sword, but as soon as she tried, her migraine suddenly intensified, making her clutch her head and squat on the floor while clutching her head tightly.
Luke approached her and grasped her throat forcefully, holding her up while looking into her frigid eyes with a nefarious smirk. She started to have difficulty breathing and became slightly afraid after seeing his expression. She knew that the person in front of her was dangerous.
"You see, this is what I mean. I placed a slave collar on your neck, so you cannot disobey me. And if you did, you will receive a painful punishment. Keep disobeying me, and your punishment will intensify. Do you understand your predicament now?" Luke said while continuing to clasp her throat. Each sentence that he spoke only served to terrify Yueli further.
She breathed heavily and looked at him cautiously. She was wary of this villainous man in front of her, but she was even more suspicious of his motives. Anyone with such a cunning and despicable mind would have an ulterior motive behind their actions.
"What do you want to do with my disciple? What will you gain from her? She's just a talented girl from a remote location." Yueli suspiciously asked, trying to extract more information out of him. She didn't understand why he was so focused on her disciple.
"Oh? Didn't you know how special your disciple really is? I guess I shouldn't expect much from such a backward sect. You don't even have a fix for your own profound art. I shouldn't expect too much from dying fairies after all." Luke answered while shaking his head in mock shame. He already knows all their secrets from his past life's memories.
Yueli was instantly alerted when Luke mentioned one of her sect's greatest secrets. Nobody other than the sect elders know that the Frozen Cloud Asgard practice an incomplete profound art which shortens the user's lifespan. She was now extremely suspicious of the person in front of her.
"H-How do you know this!? This is our sects secret?" Yuel asked with a shaky voice. She wanted to know how he managed to learn of their secret. It would be a disaster if this were known by other sects.
"Oh, you asked how? It's a secret." Luke replied with a wide smirk on his face. Yueli felt tensed watching his approaching figure.
Then, he seductively whispered into her cute little ears. "Besides, I know a lot more about your sect than you can imagine. Like a certain sect mistress with one foot in the grave. Like how your sister is fatally poisoned."
Yueli was shocked upon hearing this, but she was even more surprised by his last sentence. She hurriedly asked him. "What do you mean by my sister dying of poison? Don't be ridiculous! She headed out to defeat a sky profound beast; she wouldn't get poisoned by such a weakling!"
"It truly did happen, whether you accept it or not. Your sister got poisoned by that beast, and now she's suffering from it. The thing is, she's trying to find a cure for the poison, but it's extremely difficult to find. Now, it's already too late for a cure. The poison that's inside her has already become a spirit. She doesn't have much time left to live before the poison spirit kills her." Luke graciously answered, kindly separating his hand from her throat.
Yueli was surprised hearing this. She was wondering why her sister hadn't returned to the sect even after so long. Now, after knowing that her sister was dying of poison, she started to feel panicked. Her usual frosty countenance became even paler due to her worry for her sister.
She looked at him and hastily asked. "How do you know all of this? What do you gain by telling me all this?"
"As I said before, it's a secret. I just wanted to tell you about your beautiful sister's condition. I'm a righteous person, after all." Luke replied with a mocking grin, making her look at him hatefully.
"If you're righteous, then every human would be a saint! Don't lie to me. If you know all of this, then you must know some way to cure her as well. Don't beat around the bush and tell me what you want in return?" Yueli spoke in a severe tone. She didn't want to waste any more of her time arguing with him.
"Well… If you say it like that... Then I do have a way to cure her, but why should I tell you? The main question is, what do I get in return?" Luke replied with a sinister grin, causing Yueli to grind her teeth in frustration and hatred.
"Just name your price. I'll give you anything you want in return: treasures, cultivation resources, rare herbs. Anything you ask for, I will give it to you in return. Just tell me how to cure my sister!" Yueli desperately pleaded. She could sacrifice anything to save her sister. Her sister is, after all, her last remaining family member.
Luke just approached her and held her chin up, making her look straight into his eyes and declared with a malicious smirk. "I don't want much. I just want a single thing in return."
Yueli felt uncomfortable under his gaze, but she still managed to ask. "What do you want?"
Luke looked at her while sporting a devious grin and answered.
"I want Cliff-Kun!"
