She Wan followed Yin Nanzhen into Fang Mu’s room.

From She Wan’s point of view, Yin Nanzhen’s situation was no different from that of a desperate man.

Firstly, Yin Nanzhen had no hope in life, his current hope was given by Fang Mu.

If negotiations broke down, inevitably, Yin Nanzhen could harbor some ill thoughts.

Secondly, Yin Nanzhen’s family was in decline, with the elders either dead or fleeing.

Yin Nanzhen had been left alone.

Predictably, someone devoid of emotional bonds and constraints might resort to anything.

Yin Nanzhen’s first impression on She Wan was not good.

Not because Yin Nanzhen was competing for the guard job before Fang Mu, but because those who made contracts with Hellhounds were influenced by the brutal and bloodthirsty nature of the hounds.

Though nothing could be seen from Yin Nanzhen’s surface, he definitely harbored an antisocial personality.

When such a person falls, they often become a ticking time bomb harming others.

The Evil Heart Sect, for instance, would love to recruit such madmen.

After Yin Nanzhen entered the room, he saw Fang Mu arranging a pot of blooming Coagulated Jade Camellia flowers as big as bowls.

The flowers of the Coagulated Jade Camellia were so dense that they almost obscured all the leaves and branches.

As Yin Nanzhen was not a scholar, he only understood rudimentary academic knowledge.

What Yin Nanzhen really knew were survival skills and combat techniques in the wilderness.

Therefore, he could not understand the function of the Coagulated Jade Camellia that Fang Mu was tending.

But he could affirm through its aesthetic value that the flower cultivated by Fang Mu must be worth a lot.

Although Yin Nanzhen didn’t understand the function of the Coagulated Jade Camellia, he could discern its purity by observing the color of the Life Elixir.

Fang Mu was watering this red camellia with a Life Elixir of eighty percent purity.

This red camellia had not yet reached the Silver Peak, so absorbing the Life Elixir could not trigger its bloodline transformation.

It was clear that this Life Elixir with a purity of eighty percent was just the regular maintenance that Fang Mu provided for the Coagulated Jade Camellia.

Using a master-level elixir to maintain a pot of flowers, wasn’t that somewhat too luxurious?!

However, Fang Mu, didn’t do this just to show off to Yin Nanzhen.

Given Yin Nanzhen’s current situation,

Fang Mu had promised to cover Yin Nanzhen’s daily expenses and helped Yin Nanzhen pay off his debts.

These two points alone were enough to make Yin Nanzhen unable to leave Fang Mu, so showing off was unnecessary.

With the constant supply of the Life Elixir and Wood System energy, the Coagulated Jade Camellia was growing more lush and blooming more and more flowers.

Once a Floral Beast sprouted a Flower Spirit, the plant itself would not undergo any further changes.

Fang Mu wanted to make the Coagulated Jade Camellia even more lush before its bloodline elevation to a Falling Jade Camellia.

Fang Mu, who now no longer hesitated to use dozens of Coagulated Jade Camellia petals every time he brewed tea.

With the regular nurturing of the Coagulated Jade Camellia, Fang Mu felt more and more at ease each time he infused his blood into the Blood of Abundance.

Seeing Yin Nanzhen enter his room, Fang Mu gestured to She Wan behind Yin Nanzhen.

She Wan quickly came forward and took the Soul Parasite Ant larva handed over by Fang Mu.

She turned around and gave the Soul Parasite Ant larva to Yin Nanzhen, and said.

“Didn’t you say you were willing to pledge 100% loyalty to Young Master?”

“Open up your soul and let this larvae crawl in.”

“You will truly become one of us!”

“As long as you don’t have a second heart, this ant larva nesting in your soul can help you resist attacks on the soul level!”

Looking at the Soul Parasite Ant larva in She Wan’s palm, Yin Nanzhen finally understood what Fang Mu meant by “I have a way to ensure your absolute loyalty to me.”

The feeling of one’s life being manipulated by someone else, no one would enjoy.

Allowing this ant larva to reside in his soul and build a nest in it,

Indeed ensured his absolute loyalty to Fang Mu, but at the expense of his own security.

Even if Fang Mu reneged on his promises, he was bound and could not escape.

He had no other choice but to serve Fang Mu faithfully.

Despite his displeasure, Yin Nanzhen had already anticipated this.

Moreover, Yin Nanzhen felt that the young man before him was very honorable, even using tons of Green Toad Gold to build the gate of the merchant association.

There was no reason for him to trick himself!

If Fang Mu didn’t give him the Light Element Potion and left him blind, his combat efficiency would be greatly reduced and he wouldn’t be useful.

A truly clever person would not pit one subordinate against another in front of his men.

This might very well dishearten his original subordinates.

Realizing this, Yin Nanzhen didn’t need Fang Mu to say much more or make any assurances.

Yin Nanzhen already opened his soul and let the Soul Parasite Ant larva nest in it.

Fang Mu had thought Yin Nanzhen would have some ideas or exhibit some negative emotions after seeing the Soul Parasite Ant.

But he didn’t.

This proved that Yin Nanzhen was a very smart man. Fang Mu was very satisfied with Yin Nanzhen’s actions.

Just as Yin Nanzhen was inhabited by the Soul Parasite Ant, he was taken aback by Fang Mu’s next sentence.

“Since you are now my man, there is no need for me to hand over that Life Elixir with a purity of ninety percent to you.”

Before Yin Nanzhen, whose heart had sunk, could think any further, he heard Fang Mu continue to speak.

“What a coincidence! I have a few bottles of Life Elixir with a purity of ninety-two percent, and I also have some Dark Element Potion in stock.”

“You summon the three Fiery Hellhounds first.”
