Although the mindset of people in the Southern Region was liberal, Lin Ji's actions could not merely be described by the word "liberal".

Similarly, after hearing Lin Ji, the three Settlement Chiefs also showed expression of disgust and snorted coldly.

Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand…

He did not mind Lin Ji's att.i.tude. There was an old saying that went, women do not only need to be good in both domestic and social aspects, they must also be good in bed.

Lin Ji definitely looked like the type of woman who was good in bed. However, the thought that Lin Ji had experienced the ancient battlefield and had lived for G.o.d knows how long prevented Fang Zhengzhi to make any comments.

Although the relations.h.i.+p between an older man and a younger woman was a trend, it felt weird if he became the younger one.

"You are too old!" Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and expressed his opinion after he took a good look at Lin Ji's raised chest.

"Meng Tian! Show me some face, I am too old?! Don't forget that you are also a few hundred years old!" Lin Ji stood up from the ground but had to bend her body because she was being tied too tightly.

However, after all, Lin Ji was a woman. Although she was indeed relatively old, there is no woman would like to be called "old".

"You are indeed desperate… Forget it, let's get onto the topic, do you want to be freed?" Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand and looked nonchalant. After all, Lin Ji could not do anything to him, so why did he bother?

"Hahaha… You must be dreaming if you want me to betray Young Empress!" Lin Ji knew what Fang Zhengzhi had implied and rejected him without hesitation.

"It had not been long since you came out from the Gate of G.o.d of the Monster Realm, right?" Fang Zhengzhi found a place to sit as he spoke and he did not seem to be surprised by Lin Ji's response.

"Yes, so what?" Lin Ji was fearless.

"You have two options, one is for me to continue sealing you. You should know that I have the ability to do so, to put you into deep sleep again for hundreds or thousands of years…" Fang Zhengzhi took a sneak peek at Lin Ji as he spoke.

He saw that Lin Ji's expression evidently changed. Although it was rather insignificant, it was obvious enough to be seen.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that it was Lin Ji's "trigger point".

How would a hundred-year-old Monster be willing to return to the dark world after being freed from the seal?

"What's the second option?" Lin Ji kept silent for a while and asked impatiently after Fang Zhengzhi paused.

"What do you think the second option is?" Fang Zhengzhi knew that the more impatient the other person was, the more patient he must be. After all, he had the final say.

"If you want me to become your slave, it is impossible!"

"Haha, I am not interested in keeping you as my slave. I have a simple deal. If you tell me Yun Qingwu's plan, I will let you off." Fang Zhengzhi smiled faintly.

"Really?"

"Of course."

"What do you want to know?"

"What else are there apart from the Five Element Formation in the Holy Region?"

"You know about the Five Element Formation?!" Lin Ji evidently looked surprised.

Meanwhile, the Demon Lord who was tied up at the corner also widened his eyes and looked at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief.

Fang Zhengzhi did not intend to explain himself. He merely shook his hand and took a bite of the cooked food on the fire rack. "Tell me about the other plans."

"I can agree to this deal, but how can I be a.s.sured that you won't kill me after I told you the relevant details?" Lin Ji clenched her fist as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then released her fist before she asked.

Lin Ji was obviously not foolish. Although she was being held as a hostage, she knew her value. Once her value was lost, she would not possibly live on.

"This is simple. I can pledge, pledge with Meng Tian's name." Fang Zhengzhi said casually.

"Pledge? Haha, do you think I will believe you?" Lin Ji laughed and sat back down, not convinced at all.

"Then what do you want?"

"Release me first. I will tell you once I find the cave."

"Do you think I will agree?"

"If you don't believe me, then why should I believe you?" Lin Ji was calm after she found out about Fang Zhengzhi's motive, giving an expression of nonchalance.

"You are right. Fine, tell me some details before I release you, how about that?" Fang Zhengzhi gave the issue a little bit of thought before he said, "However, the things you say must be something I do not already know and of sufficient value."

"You will seriously let me go if I told you some details?" Lin Ji's eyes lit up and a cold gaze flashed across her eyes.

"Speak. I will let you go if I find the information you say useful."

Meanwhile, Shan Yu and the three Settlement Chiefs looked at one another with a nervous expression.

However, Shan Yu did not speak at all or disturb Fang Zhengzhi's interrogation since the start. She only gritted her teeth and trembled slightly.

The other three Settlement Chiefs similarly wanted to talk but after seeing how Shan Yu kept silent, they clenched their fists and remained quiet too.

Lin Ji saw the expressions on their faces and her gloomy expression became more pleasant.

Although she did not believe Fang Zhengzhi, it was a chance to her.

As long as she followed Fang Zhengzhi's request, she had the chance to escape. She had absolute confidence that she could escape from Fang Zhengzhi's control if he let down his guard a little.

"Alright, Meng Tian, I will trust you for this once!" Lin Ji clenched her teeth and showed a difficult expression before she turned to look at the Demon Lord. "But I will only say this to you. Come closer, I promise it will be something you are interested in."

"How close?" Fang Zhengzhi took two steps towards Lin Ji as he spoke before stopping.

"A little closer. I don't want anyone else to hear it." Lin Ji leaned back and gave an alluring look at Fang Zhengzhi who was three feet away.

"Alright." Fang Zhengzhi did not hold back and took two steps forward and sat right beside Lin Ji with a distance of less than one inch away from her.

Lin Ji smiled extremely alluringly. However, as she looked over at Shan Yu and the three Settlement Chiefs, she looked very unhappy.

"Why not let the few of them leave first." Lin Ji blushed as she leaned towards Fang Zhengzhi.

"Hmm, it's rather inconvenient for them to stay here. Shan Yu, leave with the three Settlement Chiefs and guard outside. Also, bring Demon Lord along with you." Fang Zhengzhi nodded again.

"Senior!"

"Senior, this Monster lady is extremely cunning, I think you should be wary…"

"Let's leave." Shan Yu broke off the three Settlement Chiefs' words and headed towards the exit of the cave. When she was about to step out, she turned and gave Fang Zhengzhi a look of confusion.

After hearing Shan Yu's words, the three Settlement Chiefs sighed as they lowered their heads and brought Demon Lord out of the cave.

Soon, the cave was left with the man and the Monster, Fang Zhengzhi and Lin Ji.

"So what do you want to tell me?" After the few people left, Fang Zhengzhi leaned back into the gra.s.s.

His action surprised Lin Ji.

She once thought that Fang Zhengzhi could have fallen for her trick, but she knew that he would not fall for it so easily, or rather, she felt that he was trying to play along with her.

Moving her eyes slightly, Lin Ji's body fell together with Fang Zhengzhi and pressed her thigh on Fang Zhengzhi's thigh.

"If I recall correctly, Sagely Battle G.o.d is the member of Great Xia and had reached the peak hundred years ago. So why are you go underground?" As she spoke, she turned her body and changed her tone, making her seem extremely alluring.

"Go underground? I did not go underground, I only shut myself from the world." Fang Zhengzhi allowed Lin Ji to carry on turning as she liked.

"Shut yourself?" A look of coldness flashed across her eyes before her gaze turned alluring again. "So, what state are you at now?"

"Much higher than you. Let me be honest with you, when I was fighting against you, I only used less than half of my powers." Fang Zhengzhi was extremely thick-skinned until his face would not even blush when he boasted.

"Half of your powers? Haha…" Lin Ji laughed and licked her lips with her tongue. Then, her voice became low suddenly, "Battle G.o.d, have you heard of the 'Source of G.o.d'?"

"Source of G.o.d? Of course." Fang Zhengzhi said without any change of expression.

"Really?"

"Nonsense."

"Then do you know where the 'Source of G.o.d' is?"

"If I am not wrong, you are trying to tell me about the location of the 'Source of G.o.d'?" Although Fang Zhengzhi did not know what the Source of G.o.d was, he had to act like he knew.

"Yes, do you want to know?" Lin Ji nodded and leaned her head towards Fang Zhengzhi's neck as she stuck out her tongue.

"Yes!" Fang Zhengzhi sat up from the gra.s.s, flinging Lin Ji's leg was aside as he said with extreme excitement, "Tell me, where is the Source of G.o.d?"

"…" Lin Ji's tongue was stuck out halfway and her body froze on the spot. She looked extremely furious and annoyed.

However, Fang Zhengzhi had already sat upright so she had to adjust her emotions. After taking two deep breaths, she sat upright too.

"Aiya, this chain is too tight, I am suffocating. Battle G.o.d, don't you pity me at all?"

"Tight?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the chains on Lin Ji.

"Yes, of course. I am so uncomfortable, ah… I cannot breathe at all, aiya, Battle G.o.d… Please save me…" Lin Ji began twisting around as she said and her face turned red as though she was really suffocating.

"Then, I shall add another chain for you?" Fang Zhengzhi replied after giving some serious consideration.

"…" Lin Ji could not react.

"I heard that when you add another chain, the two chains will come to a balance, did you not hear of this before? The issue is about balancing it out." Fang Zhengzhi did not mind sharing some Science knowledge with Lin Ji. After all, he did not bother even if she did not believe him.

"…" Lin Ji's face was extremely red but she could not say anything in defense.

"The weather is good today." Since Lin Ji did not speak for a long time, Fang Zhengzhi stretched and stood up from the gra.s.s patch.

"Meng Tian, do you really not want to know where the Source of G.o.d is? You should know that you are only able to suppress me alone. If you had two other G.o.dly State experts, you will definitely win! You can only return to the peak once you obtain the Source of G.o.d!" Lin Ji gritted her teeth as she returned to her usual tone.

"I know where the Source of G.o.d is." Fang Zhengzhi said without looking back.

"You know?!" Lin Ji was shocked for a moment, but she began laughing soon. "Impossible. If you had known, you won't be here!"

Lin Ji obviously did not believe him.

"Holy Region. The Source of G.o.d is in the Holy Region, am I right?" Fang Zhengzhi did not bother debating.

"Haha… Of course the Source of G.o.d is in the Holy Region. I am not surprised even if you guessed it correctly. However, how do you know where is the exact location of the Source of G.o.d since the Holy Region is so big?" Lin Ji, instead of being surprised, laughed in disdain.

"Really? You are certain that I do not know?"

"Of course."

"You have to know that this is your only chance to live. If I say it out, do you think you can still walk out of the cave alive?" Fang Zhengzhi turned his body around slowly.

"You won't kill me!" Lin Ji was certain.

"Why won't I kill you?"

"Hahaha, because you won't kill me until you know where the Source of G.o.d is!" Lin Ji laughed. Unlike previously, her laughter was filled with confidence.
