Chief Leng had lost in a grieving manner. If it was comparing the strength from both sides, the one to lose should be Jiang Yi. The worst case should be a draw. Jiang Yi couldn"t kill Chief Leng, but Chief Leng had chances to kill Jiang Yi.

Speaking in simpler terms, Jiang Yi"s speed was too slow for Chief Leng. If Jiang Yi didn"t have the Thunder Fire and if Chief Leng could get near to Jiang Yi easily, there wasn"t even a need for this battle. Chief Leng could just crush Jiang Yi effortlessly.

It was exactly because of the tyranny of the Thunder Fire, which was even further refined, that caused Chief Leng to have fear towards the Thunder Fire. He was constantly wary of his divine shield being shattered and getting burned alive, making him extremely anxious and nervous. If Chief Leng was to set his heart and attacked desperately, Jiang Yi would already be dead.

In a battle when two sides didn"t have a huge disparity in strength, morale was of utmost importance.

For example, when a teenager and a youth was in a fistfight, the youth would have more strength. However, if the teenager dared to risk his life and attacked desperately, the final winner would still be the teenager even though the youth had more strength.

Thus…

Until the battle ended, Chief Leng still couldn"t understand how he had lost. How could he have been pressured by Jiang Yi in the latter phase of the battle when he obviously had the upper hand at the start? How could he have been so careless to actually admit his defeat?

Nevertheless…!

A win was a win, and a loss was a loss. After this battle, Jiang Yi"s combat strength had already received the approval from the city. Big Brother Heng was also dead. Apart from Big Sister Bell, who else would dare stroke Jiang Yi"s tiger whiskers?

Once the news was out, all those Heaven Monarchs in and outside of the city, who had competent strength, were all secretly excited. With three chiefs dead, Jiang Yi had taken up one of the spots, leaving two more spots for those who could grab the opportunity and promote themselves.

There was an undercurrent surging in the city, but Jiang Yi didn"t bother. He led his men and headed straight for his own courtyard. He then waved his hand to Niu Deng and the others and said, "All of you, go back first. Niu Deng will go make arrangements and also go inform those 16 to follow me in the future."

Jiang Yi was indeed injured and required some recuperation. He had fought several battles today, and he was tired after confirming his victory. He wanted to have a good rest and didn"t want to be disturbed.

"Chief Jiang, please have a good rest. I will make the arrangements, and I will come and fetch Chief Jiang to the feast when it is nighttime." Niu Deng was very sensible, and his smiles were no longer flattering. Instead, it looked like a smile that was meant for someone with close ties.

"En!"

Jiang Yi patted on Niu Deng"s shoulder and walked in after opening the courtyard doors. Niu Deng arranged for two individuals to stand guard outside the courtyard and left with the rest of the men. He first went to the Ba Dao and Chief Long"s men, and also Big Brother Heng"s 16 subordinates, to stabilize the army"s heart while arranging for tonight"s feast.

"Hu-hu…"

Jiang Yi walked into the courtyard and closed the doors while his straightened back suddenly bent over and his b.u.t.t sat on a stone chair in the courtyard. He then closed his eyes for a breather.

Too many things had happened today. He didn"t kill a lot of people, but every one of them was a Heaven Monarch. Any one of them would be able to slaughter all the experts on the Stellarsky Continent. He wasn"t even a little delighted though he had killed so many incredible experts and also forced Chief Leng to admit defeat. Right now, he was actually having a fearful feeling.

If he had lost any one of the battles today, he would be consigned to eternal d.a.m.nation while Jiang Xiaonu, Feng Luan, and the others would be in an extremely miserable state. He had actually taken a risk with everyone"s lives on the line.

He might look awesome on the appearance after killing three chiefs, suppressing Chief Leng, taking in a group of Heaven Monarchs, and becoming chief. However, only he knew clearly how much pressure he was enduring and how much his heart suffered.

"I won. I manage to win in the end!"

He closed his eyes and muttered while his mouth forced out a trace of a smile. He struggled to stand up and lifted his fatigued legs into the courtyard, wanting to have a good bath and a good sleep… to allow his tensed up mind to obtain a moment of relief.

"En?"

However—!

Just at the moment he entered the main hall, his already relaxed body and heart suddenly tensed up again. His eyes shot out with chilling light while murderous aura rushed out from his body like a lion king baring its sharp fangs.

There was someone in the main hall; there was a beautiful woman.

The woman didn"t seem to be old, but she had fully matured. She was wearing an emerald-green dress with scattered flowers while she wore a string of pink bells in front of her chest. Her twin peaks released a captivating presence.

The woman was tasting some tea, and when Jiang Yi entered, she turned around, revealing a gorgeous and charming smile while speaking, "Chief Jiang, you have returned? This servant has been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiang Yi"s expression grew colder as he stared at the gorgeous woman and spoke in a heavy voice, "Who are you? Why are you in my courtyard?"

Giggle!

The gorgeous woman stood up vulgarly while light waves were swirling in her eyes. She had such charming eyes just like a courtesan from the brothel. She flung a look at Jiang Yi and said, "Chief Jiang, this servant is called Qi Ling. I naturally entered Chief Jiang"s courtyard to hug your legs. As long as Chief Jiang is willing to protect me in the future, Qi Ling will belong to you; and you can do anything to me…"

Throwing herself at Jiang Yi?

There were plenty of female martial artists in the city, and many of them were concealed by the chiefs. Jiang Yi had promoted and even suppressed the no.2 chief, Chief Leng. Wasn"t it normal for beauties to automatically throw themselves at him?

Right at this moment, Jiang Yi felt that this woman"s explanation was very reasonable. He withdrew his aura presence, took a few glances at the gorgeous woman, and asked suspiciously, "I can do anything?"

The woman"s waist withdrew a little as she stuck out her chest and said, "Chief Jiang can do anything… you want."

"Alright then!"

Jiang nodded and walked towards a room and waved his hand. "First, help this Chief take a bath."

Finishing his statement, he directly walked into the room and took out a bathing barrel from the ancient divine essence ring and poured in clean water. Seeing that the gorgeous woman had yet to enter, he spoke with a little displeasure, "What are you doing? Is this how you service someone?"

The gorgeous woman"s eyes flickered a few rounds. She bit her lips and twisted her b.u.t.tocks as she walked in, let out a sweet smile, and said to Jiang Yi, "Come, Chief Jiang, let me help you take off your clothes."

"En!"

Jiang Yi closed his eyes without any wariness. The beautiful woman walked behind Jiang Yi and undid his outer clothes and his top clothing, revealing his flawless upper body. When there was only a pair of trousers left, the gorgeous woman didn"t move and had this blushing red face while she shifted away from her eyes shyly.

"En?"

Jiang Yi waited for a moment and noticed that the woman wasn"t moving. He then tilted his head and said, "You are so clumsy, and yet you want to serve someone? What use does Chief Jiang for you?"

The gorgeous woman had a flash of embarra.s.sment on her face as she clenched her teeth and pulled off Jiang Yi"s trousers. Her eyes were shut tightly, and her face was red like a monkey"s b.u.t.t and boiling hot.

Plop!

Jiang Yi jumped into the water and washed himself up. He twisted his head to look at the gorgeous woman and spoke in a strange tone, "You are such a strange person. Since you want to follow this Chief, you got to service me. What are you idling there for?"

"Ah?"

The gorgeous woman carefully opened her eyes to take a peek at Jiang Yi and saw that half his body was in the water, revealing his exquisite upper body. She then let out a breath of relief and asked, "Chief Jiang, what do you need this servant to do?"

Jiang Yi stared and said, "Didn"t I mention to help this Chief bath? Hurry up and rub my back."

"Oh!"

The gorgeous woman pouted her lips and walked behind Jiang Yi. She extended out her silky white hands and gently rubbed and washed, who knew that… Jiang Yi would turn his head and spoke while looking sideways, "Seems like you have never been a servant, huh? According to the bathing rules, the servant has to be completely naked…"?

"Ah?"

The gorgeous woman cried out with surprise while her eyes flashed with anger. Her face turned hot again as her eyes flickered, and she was biting her lips and hesitating.

"Sigh…"

Jiang Yi didn"t look at her anymore. He reached out his hands to wash his body and let out a long sigh before speaking, "Qi Ling, your acting skills are too inferior, and you aren"t fun to play with. Since you want to play, then you have to be more cooperative, right? Do you think I would dare to profane you? All those that have done so are already dead, aren"t they? Did I say it correctly… Big Sister Bell?"
