Chapter 187: Escape from a Predicament

"Sure."

To Ye Xuan's surprise, Mu Yan almost didn't think before nodding in agreement.

"That easy?"

Ye Xuan had some doubts. She agreed so quickly; there must be some trickery involved. But then again, if she turned her back on him after he had saved her, he would be utterly helpless, which was very likely to happen.

"In that case, if you truly plan to serve me, then open your soul to me. Let me plant a spiritual power brand in it, and then I can rest assured."

Thinking it over, there seemed to be no other way to ensure Mu Yan wouldn't turn on him afterward.

"You want to control me? I would rather die from this curse than have you intervene."

Unexpectedly, Mu Yan flatly refused him after hearing his request, leaving Ye Xuan somewhat taken aback. She had agreed so quickly and now rejected him just as decisively.
