A moment later.
The aftermath dissipated.
Only a massive crater remained in the spot.
Although the Soul Duel Stage could withstand the attacks of a Titled Douluo, it couldn't endure the scorching heat of the Ultimate Fire.
The stage, made of unknown materials, was completely melted by the Ultimate Fire.
In the center of the crater, Qian Renxue knelt on one knee, gripping her Angel Light Sword, breathing heavily.
Her body bore numerous burns, with both her clothes and hair showing signs of scorching.
However, it was merely burns.
Although the explosion was terrifying, its power was greatly diminished due to the wide range and dispersed flames.
Qian Renxue's fifth Soul Skill, "Holy Light Shield," possessed formidable defensive capabilities, but it consumed a significant amount of Soul Power.
At this moment, Qian Renxue's Soul Power was nearly depleted, leaving her with little combat strength.
"You lost."
Ye Feng's right hand remained in its Dragon Claw form, flames flickering on its surface.
Originally, he had wanted to test the power of his Dragon Claw and engage in a fierce battle with Qian Renxue.
But he hadn't expected to go a bit too hard, nearly crippling her.
"Cough... You jerk..."
Qian Renxue glared at Ye Feng, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
Although she had imagined this outcome, she never thought she would lose so miserably.
Until the very end, she hadn't even managed to touch the hem of Ye Feng's clothes.
Not only had she lost, but she had also been "seen through" by Ye Feng again, and she felt that this time he had seen even more than before...
For her, this was an immense humiliation!
"You lost. It's time to fulfill the bet."
Ye Feng approached Qian Renxue, crouched down, and pinched her soft cheek.
"Wh... what bet????"
Qian Renxue's mind was slightly foggy, clearly confused by Ye Feng's words.
"There has to be a bet in a fight, right? You lost, so shouldn't you fulfill the bet?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
"The bet... You didn't mention this before the fight, did you?" Qian Renxue racked her brain, even suspecting that she might have lost her memory from the beating.
"Oh, I forgot to mention it. It's the same now. If you lose, you become my maid," Ye Feng said nonchalantly.
"You jerk!! Who brings up a bet after the fact?! And I never agreed! What maid?! Are you insane?!"
Qian Renxue was clearly furious, swinging her greatsword at Ye Feng with all her might.
"Empty-handed blade catch!"
Ye Feng casually raised his hand, his Dragon Claw effortlessly gripping Qian Renxue's greatsword as if it were a plastic toy.
Then, with a slight exertion of his fingers.
"Crack—"
The greatsword, formed from Qian Renxue's Soul Power, shattered under the Dragon Claw, dissolving into countless specks of Holy Light that slowly drifted away.
Immediately after, Ye Feng stepped forward, grabbed Qian Renxue's wrist, and pinned her to the ground in a few swift moves.
"A bet is a bet. You can't back out now."
Ye Feng chuckled.
"Ugh... Who's the one backing out here?! You're insane! I never agreed to any bet! I admit defeat, now let me go!!"
Qian Renxue was visibly flustered and exasperated.
But at this moment, her face was pressed against the slightly warm floor, her chest also flattened and visibly deformed from the pressure. With her Soul Power and physical strength nearly depleted, she had no way to resist Ye Feng.
"I don't care, if you lose, there must be a bet. Quickly, call me 'Master'," Ye Feng said, sitting atop Qian Renxue, clearly taking advantage of her vulnerable state.
Qian Renxue was still too proud. Ye Feng felt she needed proper discipline to make it easier to take the initiative in the future.
"Don't even think about it!! Even if I, Qian Renxue, were to die... Ah!! What are you doing? Stop it!!"
Before she could finish, Qian Renxue felt a sharp sting on her bottom.
A crisp "slap" echoed in her ears.
This made her entire body bristle with anger, and she struggled wildly. That scoundrel Ye Feng actually dared to hit her...
How outrageous!
"Slap—"
Ye Feng was relentless, delivering another harsh strike.
The sound was loud, but it didn't actually hurt. Instead, it felt strangely peculiar.
Each slap caused a "duang" sensation.
It was like hitting jelly with a spoon.
"Let me go, you jerk!! I'll kill you!!!"
"Slap+"
"..."

...
A moment later.
Unable to bear the humiliation any longer, Qian Renxue reluctantly whispered, "Mas... Master..."
"What? I didn't hear you~"
Ye Feng pretended to be hard of hearing, digging at his ear.
"Master!!"
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, her voice louder this time, but clearly filled with rage.
If Ye Feng pushed any further, Qian Renxue was sure to explode.
"Haha, so obedient~"
Ye Feng laughed heartily, giving Qian Renxue's cheek a gentle pinch before quickly jumping away.
Qian Renxue sprang up from the floor, using the last of her Soul Power to summon a large sword, pointing it at Ye Feng. With her other hand covering her bottom, she shouted angrily, "Ye Feng, are you some kind of pervert!!! It's all uneven now, what if you damaged it!!!"
Qian Renxue was truly on the verge of losing her mind.
Being hit was one thing, but Ye Feng had only struck the left side.
The left side was already swollen, completely asymmetrical to the right, making it extremely uncomfortable to walk.
If it didn't heal properly, it might be permanently ruined! How would she ever get married in the future!
"My right hand was holding you down, so my left couldn't reach the right side. How about you lie down again, and I'll use my right hand this time," Ye Feng said, feigning innocence.
"I'll kill you!!!"
Qian Renxue was fuming, raising her sword to strike at Ye Feng.
But Ye Feng had had enough fun and didn't linger, quickly making his escape.
...
A moment later.
The two left the Soul Battle Arena.
Qian Renxue's walking posture had returned to normal, but her delicate face was flushed, resembling a ripe peach.
Of course, it wasn't because Ye Feng had pinned her down and hit her again. Instead, she had chased after him to get some blood to heal her injuries.
Ye Feng's blood was incredibly potent, not only healing her wounds but also invigorating her, leaving her face glowing with vitality.
Qian Renxue followed Ye Feng back to the hotel, where he curiously asked, "Aren't you going back? Why are you still following me? Are you planning to sleep with me tonight?"
"In your dreams!"
Qian Renxue glared fiercely at Ye Feng before snorting, "By the way, you haven't fulfilled your promise of investment yet. How exactly are you going to invest in me?"
Qian Renxue admitted that she was somewhat tempted.
Previously, she had only been slightly curious about the "investment" Ye Feng had mentioned.
After all, she was already incredibly powerful. Even without any investment, she was destined to become a god and reign supreme in the world. Ye Feng's investment would merely be the icing on the cake.
But now, after witnessing Ye Feng's immense strength, she found herself growing eager for his investment.
If she could obtain power like Ye Feng's, her strength would undergo a monumental transformation! With her top-tier Angel Spirit and Ye Feng's "investment," she might even be able to dominate all Titled Douluo after advancing to Soul Douluo, and perhaps even crush Bi Bi Dong! The latter was what she desired most! The reason she was being manipulated by Bi Bi Dong was simply because she lacked the strength. If she could surpass Bi Bi Dong, then it wouldn't be her here as the undercover agent—it would be Bi Bi Dong instead.
