The heavy silence created by Ning Lau's offer lasted for a while.
All the Qi Condensation cultivators here were proud people, born nobility. They bowed only to their own elders.
I didn't think they would agree to something like Ning Lau's offer, not that easily.
"I accept! Please, spare my life and that of my family, Grand Elder Ning Lau!"
The one speaking was a Qi Foundation cultivator, one of the few dozen sitting behind the Qi Foundation ones.
Of course. Some of these people were lowborn, picked from dirt at a young age and taught to serve. Like me, they didn't have as much pride.
"Oh?" Ning Lau approached the pleading cultivator and loomed over him with a smug grin. "Do you really agree to be my slave? Or are you just lying to save your sorry life?"
"I'm not lying! I swear, I will serve you loyally, Venerable One!"
"Then prove it. I said that you should all be kissing the earth we all walk upon, so start now."
