425: Four Maids of Music, Chess, Calligraphy and Painting

As Gu Liangyuan finished speaking, the drought demon was about to attack again.

Yao Qin urgently interjected:

"Master, while zombies are more obedient, once they become zombies, they completely lose their own thoughts."

"Zombies are fine for fighting, but for doing other things, they're never as useful as an Immortal Master."

Hearing this, Gu Liangyuan showed hesitation on his face.

The Three Fairy Maidens looked at Yao Qin gratefully, then quickly said:

"If you don't mind, our sisters are willing to serve you as our Master."

"From now on, we shall only obey your commands!"

The Fourth Fairy Maiden also quickly followed suit:

"Me too."

The Three Fairy Maidens: "Whatever Master commands, we shall obey without question."

The Fourth Fairy Maiden: "Me too."

The Three Fairy Maidens: "No matter how big or small the matter, it will be for the Master's benefit."

The Fourth Fairy Maiden tried to find different words, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with anything, finally blurting out another:

"Me too!"

Gu Liangyuan frowned slightly, as if deep in thought.

The two Fairy Maidens looked at Gu Liangyuan nervously, even their breathing unconsciously lightened a few points.

Their lives were at stake, so they couldn't help but be nervous.

After a long while, Gu Liangyuan nodded slightly:

"Since Yao Qin has interceded, I will accept you."

Through Gu Liangyuan's actions, what was clearly a humiliating act of submission for the two women, paradoxically filled their hearts with a sense of relief and joy.

"Qing Xuan (Shi'er) greets Master."

The two women were about to kneel, but Gu Liangyuan stopped them:

"Don't rush to bow yet."

With that, Gu Liangyuan waved his hand, and the Immortal Foundation Locks within Yao Qin and Yao Hua were removed by Gu Liangyuan.

Holding the Immortal Foundation Lock in his right hand, Gu Liangyuan began to introduce it to the two women:

"This lock is an Immortal Foundation Lock, capable of locking a Human Immortal's foundation."

"Once this lock is planted, your life and death are at my whim."

"Previously, this was planted within the Yao Sisters, but now that the Yao Sisters have gained my approval, I have removed it."

"I intend to plant this lock within both of you for observation. What do you think?"

The two women felt unwilling in their hearts.

Yesterday, they were favored by the East Queen Mother, but today their lives were completely in the hands of others; such a disparity was truly immense.

However, they also knew that they no longer had any bargaining chips.

So the two women exchanged glances and knelt together:

"Please, Master, plant this lock."

Looking at the twenty loyalty points above the two women's heads, Gu Liangyuan was satisfied:

"You are doing this voluntarily, right? If you don't want to, don't force yourselves."

The two women felt bitter in their hearts, but showed no trace of it on their faces, nodding in unison:

"Our sisters are willing."

Even though this wasn't their true inner thought, after saying this, the loyalty points above the two women's heads increased by another five points.

Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly and implanted the Immortal Foundation Lock into the two women's bodies.

The two women felt the chains on their Immortal Foundations, and their last glimmer of hope was shattered.

They were completely unable to break this Divine Artifact.

"Get up. Your names are too complicated and awkward to call."

Gu Liangyuan pointed at the Three Fairy Maidens: "From now on, you shall be called Yao Qi."

Then he pointed at the Fourth Fairy Maiden: "From now on, you shall be called Yao Shu."

"The four servant girls, Qin, Qi, Shu, and Hua, are easy to remember and pleasant to hear."

The two women bowed respectfully: "Yao Qi (Yao Shu) thanks Master for bestowing the name."

Gu Liangyuan nodded slightly, then looked at Yao Qin:

"Jiang Ming has been eliminated. Next, you will lead them to act according to the plan."

Yao Qin nodded: "Yes, Master."

The sisters Qi and Shu did not know what Gu Liangyuan's plan was. After bowing and excusing themselves, they closely followed Yao Qin to carry out the mission.

Gu Liangyuan naturally dared not fully trust the sisters Qi and Shu. While appearing to let them do as they pleased, he secretly informed Yao Qin of the Immortal Foundation Lock's control method.

At this time, Yao Qin and Yao Hua's loyalty was completely maxed out; Gu Liangyuan could even tell them to commit suicide, and they wouldn't refuse.

Entrusting it to Yao Qin, Gu Liangyuan felt at ease.

If these two sisters showed any abnormality, Yao Qin would activate the Immortal Foundation Lock.

Only then could it be foolproof.

While the Four Servant Girls went to find the Mo Emperor, Gu Liangyuan was not idle either. He led the Three Great Zombies directly to the battlefield.

The Zhou Emperor must die!

With Ancient Mo destroyed, the Zhou Emperor dead, and Zhang Huanzhen's son enthroned, two of the Three Great Dynasties were now secured. The remaining Great Lu could be annihilated with a flick of the wrist!

The Four Servant Girls traveled together. Halfway through, Yao Qi couldn't help but ask Yao Qin:

"Is this how you were captured?"

Yao Qin nodded: "Today you witnessed Master's methods. Regardless of whether he used external forces, he can instantly kill a Nine Heavens Battle General."

"As one of the Immortal Emperor's four Battle Generals, his achievements need no further explanation from me."

"I can tell you clearly that Master has no less than ten similar methods at his disposal."

"This Immortal Foundation Lock is also incredibly miraculous. According to Master, even a Grand Immortal would be unable to break it."

Yao Qi nodded, noncommittally.

But what she was truly thinking in her heart, only she knew.

Yao Hua spoke to comfort them:

"Don't be too pessimistic, sisters. It's quite good to follow Master. Each of us sisters received two Low Grade Immortal Artifacts as rewards."

"Moreover, I also saw Master bestow Ancient Immortal treasures when rewarding his disciples."

"Immortal merits and wondrous techniques are countless."

"Following Master might even provide better Cultivation resources than what you could have obtained before."

"Oh?"

Now Yao Qi and Yao Shu were a little surprised:

"Is... is Master that rich?"

Previously, in front of Gu Liangyuan, the two women had called him Master repeatedly.

Now, speaking proactively, they still felt a bit unaccustomed.

Yao Qin nodded: "Master is good at hiding his true abilities. He should be several times richer than what we've said!"

Saying that, Yao Qin brought out the two Immortal Artifacts gifted by Gu Liangyuan.

Yao Qi's Divine Sense swept over them, and she slowly nodded:

"These are top-grade among Low Grade Immortal Artifacts. What's rare is that they are very well-suited to you, and in your hands, they can even unleash power comparable to Medium Grade Immortal Artifacts."

Yao Shu asked: "What mission are we carrying out this time?"

Yao Qin truthfully replied:

"The Mo family's predecessor was also a Holy Land. They just chose to pledge allegiance to the Immortal Emperor."

"As a Holy Land, they naturally have their own Legacy spiritual objects."

"Although the Mo Emperor has used all his methods, he still possesses a jade pendant."

"Our purpose in finding the Mo Emperor this time is to trick him into giving us this half of the jade pendant."

"Once we have it, there will be nothing left to stop Master from taking over Ancient Mo."

"Ancient Mo changing hands will be a mere trifle!"

Upon hearing this, the sisters Qi and Shu felt a chill in their hearts.

If they helped Gu Liangyuan overthrow Ancient Mo, then they would truly be firmly tied to Gu Liangyuan's 'pirate ship.'

Once the deed was done, with the Eastern Immortal Emperor's domineering personality, he would surely not tolerate them...

But... they seemed to have no choice.

They then fell silent, simply hurrying along with troubled minds.

In truth, although Yao Qin had told Yao Qi the truth, she hadn't told her everything.

According to Gu Liangyuan's arrangement, if they couldn't trick him, they were to take a strand of the Mo Emperor's hair to perform the Five Fates Seizing Heaven Art.

Under the Five Fates Seizing Heaven Art, the Mo Emperor would be unable to escape death!
