How Much For Your Soul?

Chapter 29

Shen Yue had spent the day adding his wives and the compound's staff to his new slave seals. With his advanced cultivation, he no longer had to take breaks in between inscribing seals. With the use of a fast-acting sleeping drug, he had now linked them to the seals in his soul realm.

Surprisingly, the men serving in the compound had few negative thoughts about him. Other than the usual complaints of wanting time off to go to the pub, they were mostly praising him for their new lives. Extending someone's lifespan and making them supernaturally strong went a long way into keeping your people happy.

He ended up removing any need for them to rebel by reinforcing their positive view of him and gave them an urge to notify him of anything that upset them. Shen Yue thought that if they came to him with any problems, then he would know of his men's grievances and they would not bottle it up until he was forced to kill them for traitorous actions.

The maids were a different problem. They had been 'trained' into treating Su Mei as their mistress and Shen Yue as their god. Su Mei had been using the aphrodisiac he modified to brainwash the maids into passionately worship an image of himself.

She had restrained them, dosed them, and then subjected them to a doctrine reinforced by climaxing when they recited the 'word of god' fervently enough for her to believe it. This was repeated until Su Mei was satisfied that they were now believers in their new god, but only passed them if they trained a disciple of their own! This had created a church of sex maids that literally begged to serve him!

Reading their thoughts was a little scary, but it also excited him. He now knew why they were so passionate when Su Mei brought them to his bed, it was the ultimate reward for their church! He had always wondered at the looks his maids gave him, he had just thought he was too handsome.

Shen Yue's appearance was mesmerising. His cultivation enhanced it by many levels, turning him into a pretty boy the likes of which this world had never seen. He wondered if this is how Venerable White from the Cultivation Chat Group felt.

Now that he knew there were thousands of women out there brainwashed into worshipping him, the only thing he could think of was how fucking awesome Su Mei was! Yeah, she was slightly crazy with a dominatrix fetish, but she had literally turned him into a Sex God, worshipped by beautiful women that wanted to serve him in and out of bed. When he looked into her mind, he was amazed at what he found.

When she was serving in the inn he had first met her in, she had feared that she would end up either a prostitute or married to a poor commoner. She was only pretty, not beautiful enough to attract the attention of a Noble for anything other than a quick lay. Shen Yue had taken her in with the promise of supporting her family and raising her position up alongside himself.

With him being as cute as he was and with his ability to memorise books, she knew that he would be an influential person in the future. This galvanised her need to serve him, but also make sure that the women around him treated him with the same amount of respect that she felt for him. Unfortunately, her perverted nature corrupted the pure feelings she started off with, but Shen Yue was happy with the end result!

Who didn't want beautiful women chasing them? Shen Yue had now stepped into the realm of perverted trash. Just yesterday, he was trying to curb his god complex and his rape-happy nature, then he discovered he had a cult of women dedicated to him. How was he supposed to limit his urges when shit like this happened? It was official, he had turned into a sexual deviant. Fuck it, he would just embrace it. Anyone with a problem with it would just have to deal with it.

Shen Yue was quick to rein in Su Mei's more sadistic needs and filtered out her more radical personality. He still kept most of her perverted nature, because let's face it, it was hot as hell! With this, Su Mei would not 'train' his wives and hopefully keep her church from getting out of control.

The only other disturbing thing he found, was Ziyun's obsession in getting her body back. This was understandable, but the cost would end up being her sanity. With a few adjustments, Ziyun would calm down and socialise more with her new sister-wives. Shen Yue thought it would not be wise to send her to the Brotherhood to kill things so he would be keeping her close. All his other wives were pretty good, and he only had to add in feelings of sisterhood between the other wives.

When Huyan Lanruo arrived, he explained the entire situation to her after she was marked. She was now aware of the Tiny World's circumstances and her new position in it. To say she was happy was an understatement. She had thought she was just marrying Shen Yue to get close to Lord Voldemort. Now she found out his real identity as the owner of the three great organisations and an unheard of Abyss realm!

It was interesting to see the effect this had in her opinion of Shen Yue. Before he was just an arsehole that had raped her but was giving her power. After she found out she was now married to the most influential man in Glory City, suddenly he was just a bit forceful in their lovemaking! It only took a bit of meddling to bring her to the same loyalty as his other wives.

It was a bit of an eyeopener seeing into the psyche of a woman from an ancient civilisation. He had forgotten that girls were regularly sold to feed the family or arranged into marriages for benefits. Just another reason to ignore his Earth beliefs on acceptable opinions of women's virtues. Even though there were many powerful women cultivators, this universe still had a chauvinistic view of them.

Su Mei, Ye Ziyun, Xiao Ning'er, Yang Xin, Shen Xiu and Huyan Lanruo were also given updated techniques for their cultivation. With all the new information he had obtained from Nie Li, he could now compile a manual that was suitable for their soul form and attribute. Unfortunately, because they had already started cultivating, he could not make them one as overpowered as his.

Still, because they had not broken through to the Heavenly Fate realm, they could yet practice parts of his technique. Shen Yue only had to use manuals compatible with their soul form and attribute coupled with all his physical, mental and concealing skill books. The result was watered down technique similar to his.

They would now be able to hide their cultivation, but it was not to the same level as Shen Yue. It would deceive the Sage-Emperor when he calculates the natural law, the skill he uses to find anyone that could oppose him, however, if a Martial Ancestor level expert were to examine them, their strength would be exposed.

Their mental strength, physical strength, soul force and control will now simultaneously be cultivated. They will also develop an aura depending on their soul form, giving them an advantage in battle. With the massively increased speed of soul force absorption, they were sure to rise through the ranks quickly.

With their Qi changing to their attribute element, they would find absorbing law energy much smoother. Of course, they would not be becoming Spiritual Gods, but using the power of law would raise their combat level drastically.

After reinforcing his guard's loyalty, tempering the maid's brainwashing and arranging for his wives to be powerful, patient and tolerant of each other, Shen Yue made plans to begin converting all of his officers to his Emperor seal in his soul realm. To do that he would need to visit the Abyss realm and meet his army.

Once someone has been linked to his soul realm through the crown slave seal, it was enough of a loophole to let them access the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. This would allow him to train his men fast enough to break through to the Heavenly Fate realm. Over the next few days, he would be marking and then teaching his men in Glory City, the Heavenly Fate Plateau and his Family's land to the east. His Abyss realm would take at least two weeks to mark his many veterans.

Yang Xin returned to the Immortal Elixir Guild to do the same there. Listening to Shen Yue's future plans to leave the Tiny World, she would need to choose a reliable vice guild master.

The next week was a whirlwind of activity for the inhabitants of Glory City. People were rethinking their views on what the City Lord's responsibilities were. They were fortunate to only survive in this harsh world full of demon beasts, but now they were shown a life full of possibilities! The City was endlessly talking about Lord Voldemort's proclamation, and the discussions were not describing the Snow Wind Family's reign with positive remarks.

Ye Zong was preparing the Snow Wind Family's campaign to remain as the City Lord, but they were delving into unfamiliar territory. The previous City Lords only had to protect Glory City, not deal with the people's problems, that's what the law was for! While Ye Zong was thinking of ways to placate his subjects, Ye Ziyun had received a note from Nie Lie stating his new responsibilities to manufacture pills. She had finally realised how much of an unfair advantage Lord Voldemort had.

She had used every waking moment to cultivate, reaching the peak of bronze rank! With her latest blunder, the only thing keeping her from being beaten by her mum was the speed she was rising through the ranks. She had planned to keep a low profile, but that had been thrown out the window after she had cost the Family a billion demon spirit coins!

That night her mother had actually spanked her! Ye Rou was a gold rank expert, and it was clear she knew how to control her strength to create maximum suffering. After the first few smacks, Ye Ziyun had called out her cultivation level in the hope to be spared further pain. It had taken a few more beatings, but eventually, she had won a reprieve from punishment.

Since that day she had spent every waking moment absorbing soul force and thinking of ways to undermine the Clown's power base. She had asked her father everything he knew about him, but there was nothing she could think to exploit. All his members were practically black-gold rank experts and could crush the City's army.

Nie Li was currently tied up making pills and had told her to reach legend rank as fast as she could while he did the same. She knew from the novel that there would be roughly nine months before the portal to the Draconic realm opened and that would be there only chance to break free from the Clown's influence.

That or they could go to the Nether Lord for support. With Nie Li's knowledge, they could probably bargain some aid, but it would cost them their allegiance. She knew they would have to choose a master to enter the Draconic realm anyway, so it wasn't much of a trade-off. One thing was clear, they would need to reach at least black-gold rank before even thinking about leaving the City.

With the Clown's changes to canon, the beast horde would no longer happen, and the Sacred Family had lost a lot of power. Even the Dark Guild's activities had all but ceased. But the problem was the one benefitting the most was Lord bloody Voldemort! The people had been discussing nothing else since the past few days.

Ye Ziyun had made two damaging mistakes since she had arrived in this world. There was nothing in the Abyss Prison realm that could help them so she would not be going there. Since all her moves were blocked by the idiot from Earth, then she will keep her head down and raise her strength. Only after reaching the black-gold level could they have enough power to bargain with the Nether Lord.

Let's see how the Clown will fare against a Spiritual God!
