Qiu Hongtu was very humble and respectful towards Chen Jiuyang, which shocked everyone around.
Chen Jiuyang chuckled, "Today is Yihan's birthday. It's the same wherever we sit. Mr. Qiu, you don't need to be so polite."
"Mr. Chen, that's not quite right." Qiu Hongtu said with a smile, "Yihan, did you do something to upset Mr. Chen?"
Qiu Yihan's small face turned slightly red, and she said timidly, "No, I didn't. When Mr. Chen arrived, I was going to play with him. Didn't you ask me to go and entertain some guests, Dad?"
Qiu Hongtu smiled and said, "So it was my mistake. Mr. Chen, this is a misunderstanding."
"A misunderstanding?" Chen Jiuyang stared at him and smiled, "Mr. Qiu, I heard that your Qiu family is giving twenty billion as Yihan's dowry. Today's birthday banquet is to choose a son-in-law for her. Is that true?"
Qiu Yihan looked a little stunned.
Qiu Hongtu's face turned a little ugly, his brows furrowed, and his tone was a little uneasy, "Mr. Chen, who told you these words?"
Chen Jiuyang pointed to Huo Lechi, who was sitting beside him with a dazed expression, "They told me. Mr. Qiu, all these people are here to be your son-in-law. Give me an answer."
Qiu Yihan looked at Qiu Hongtu with anger on her pretty face, "Dad, is there such a thing?"
Qiu Hongtu said sternly, "I haven't arranged anything like this. It must be something that some people in the Qiu family have spread."
"Mr. Chen, please don't be misled. My daughter, Qiu Hongtu, will not become a tool for marriage alliances, nor will she be a jinx in the eyes of outsiders."
Chen Jiuyang nodded with satisfaction, "Then it seems the Qiu family should keep some people's mouths shut and not spread rumors indiscriminately."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Chen." Qiu Hongtu nodded, "Yihan, please take Mr. Chen to the main hall to have a look. I will deal with some people with loose tongues."
Qiu Yihan led Chen Jiuyang to the second-floor hall.
Upon arriving here, Chen Jiuyang suddenly felt something was wrong.
There was no ordinary person in the second-floor hall; they were all martial artists. The lowest cultivation was at the Yellow Realm, and the remaining people had extraordinary auras, at least at the level of a Profound Realm Grandmaster.
The middle-aged maid who had been following Qiu Yihan's side also had a change in her expression.
The most crucial point was that the aura on Qiu Yihan's body had undergone a drastic change.
Before, Qiu Yihan had an innocent and lovable aura, but now, she exuded a cold indifference mixed with a hint of seductive charm.
No, Chen Jiuyang's weak divine soul saw that the protective obsession on Qiu Yihan's body was gone, and her innate seductive physique was exposed.
However, the unique aura of the seductive physique was restrained.
"Saintess!"
These martial artists bowed respectfully towards Qiu Yihan.
Chen Jiuyang looked surprised. Who were these people, and why were they calling Qiu Yihan Saintess?
Qiu Yihan, who was walking in front of Chen Jiuyang, suddenly turned around, her expression cold and lofty, like a female demon.
She looked at Chen Jiuyang with a hint of playfulness, her voice charming and cold, "Mr. Chen, how do you like my birthday banquet today?"
Chen Jiuyang raised his eyebrows, "Who exactly are you? The Qiu Yihan I knew before was not like this."
Two young and beautiful maids in qipaos walked forward and moved a stool for Qiu Yihan. Qiu Yihan slightly bent her waist and sat on the chair, crossing her legs, revealing her beautiful, fair, long legs. Every move was full of seductive charm, almost making Chen Jiuyang lose himself.
This was the unique characteristic of an innate seductive physique.
Qiu Yihan played with the small wooden box Chen Jiuyang had given her. She gently lifted the lid of the small wooden box with a jade finger. Inside was a pure and flawless jade pendant, carved into the character "Han." Divine light seemed to flow in her beautiful eyes, making people infatuated. Her red lips moved slightly:
"In this mortal world, it is indeed a gift with thought put into it."
"Seeing as you are different from those male dogs, I will answer your question."
Qiu Yihan put the jade pendant with the character "Han" around her snow-white neck, her voice melodious, "I am still that Qiu Yihan, just different from usual."
Chen Jiuyang frowned, "I still don't understand."
The middle-aged maid behind him said, "The Saintess has an innate seductive physique. She has been wandering in the mortal world before the age of nineteen. Only today has her mortal journey ended, her divine soul has been truly awakened, and she knows her true self."
Chen Jiuyang was shocked, "Divine soul truly awakened, this is the supreme technique of the True Demon Sect."
"Interesting." Qiu Yihan's beautiful eyes flickered, "You even know about the True Demon Sect. It seems Mr. Chen knows quite a bit."
An old man in black clothes with a scarred face knelt on one knee before Qiu Yihan, "Saintess, this person has an ordinary background and is not worthy of being your Dao companion. You have been wandering in the mortal world, and you only need this last trial of love to achieve perfection in the Supreme True Demon Art. Today, let me kill him as a gift for your awakening!"
Chen Jiuyang's expression darkened. If Qiu Yihan's subordinate were to attack him, he was currently seriously injured and might really perish here.
Qiu Yihan glanced coldly at the old man and said in a clear voice, "You talk too much. You are crippled."
"Yes, Saintess!"
The middle-aged maid behind Chen Jiuyang received the order and erupted with terrifying true qi, unleashing a move with a green python-like true qi attack. From five meters away, she crippled the old man in black with one move.
This middle-aged maid was actually a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm!
Chen Jiuyang immediately broke out in a cold sweat, a trace of cold sweat appearing on his forehead, his heart filled with shock.
A Grandmaster of the Earth Realm was actually Qiu Yihan's servant, and Qiu Yihan could cripple her subordinate with a word. The actions of the Demonic Sect were truly unfathomable.
Blood splattered all over the ground. Only one person pulled the old man away. Qiu Yihan didn't even look at him again throughout the entire process. Chen Jiuyang found it difficult to reconcile the innocent and naive Qiu Yihan, who had been wronged a little and was on the verge of tears, with the woman before him.
Qiu Yihan's gaze remained on Chen Jiuyang, a smile appearing at the corner of her lips, "I am still the same Qiu Yihan as before, just with more memories. Mr. Chen, as you just heard, you are my trial of love."
Chen Jiuyang forced himself to calm down, "Why am I your trial of love?"
Qiu Yihan: "I have wandered in the mortal world for nineteen years. I have only had good feelings for three men. One is my grandfather, another is my father, and the last one is you."
"Before my divine soul was clouded, I only had a slight good impression of you. You have two choices: one is to be killed by my subordinate, and the second is to become my Dao companion."
"But your background is not good, and your cultivation is weak. You are not very qualified to be my Dao companion. Mr. Chen, what do you think should be done?"
"Should I kill you?"
Chen Jiuyang's back felt a chill. Qiu Yihan was definitely not joking; she might really have her subordinates kill him. He asked calmly, "What kind of cultivation is qualified to be your Dao companion?"
Even if Qiu Yihan's innate seductive physique awakened and she was a Saintess of a demonic sect, he did not want to let Qiu Yihan go. Besides, it was the other party who was considering whether to kill him now.
