chapter 31 Hello master

Canyn stared at Nissa, his face bearing a cold smile. Under Canyn's gaze, Nissa trembled all over, feeling as if everything about her was being seen through. "I..." "You're lying," Canyn said coldly. "Just being cautious, you think you can hide your identity? Then you must think very lowly of everyone's perception of abilities." "I'm sorry," Nissa said with a bitter smile. "I lied. The day after I awakened my ability, I was discovered by another ability user. I... I killed him. That was the first time I killed someone. Two days ago, I was just an ordinary person, but two days later, I had to kill to defend my own safety. No one knows what this means to me." "I got some things from that ability user, including information about the ability, ancient martial arts, and cultivation circles. I completely went into hiding, slowly learning, slowly absorbing some energy to keep myself alive. I just wanted to live, really just wanted to live. Being a devourer of abilities, is it wrong for me to live? Even if it's wrong, I had no choice," Nissa roared, like a wounded beast drenched in blood. Canyn remained silent. The Devourer of abilities is evil, but is the ability itself evil, or are devourer the evil ones? Because whatever it is, it's people who are the root cause, and abilities are also controlled by people. Could you say Nissa is wrong for trying everything to survive? No one dares to say it's wrong, and neither does Canyn. "I'm thinking, if I let you go, will I be in danger when you become powerful?" Canyn said indifferently. Looking at Nissa's roar and thinking about her hiding for three years, Canyn had no doubt that, with this experience, Nissa would be even more careful. Under such circumstances, who can be sure that there won’t come a day when Nissa truly becomes powerful? "I... I won't," Nissa said, lowering her head. "I don't believe it. Actually, you don't believe it yourself, right?" Canyn said coldly. Nissa remained silent. "However, despite this, I have decided to give you a chance," Canyn pondered for a moment, staring at Nissa who was still kneeling on the ground. Nissa suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with hope as she looked at Canyn. Canyn carefully pulled out an extremely worn talisman from his chest. Looking at this ancient talisman, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Canyn's eyes. He clearly remembered the words his master said when he handed him this talisman, This is one of the foundations of the Immortal Doctors sect. Using this talisman, one can completely control a person. As long as the person does not resist and willingly follows, this talisman will bring the most loyal servant. Now, Canyn felt that he should use this talisman on Nissa. The threat that Nissa might bring in the future. This was not the reason Canyn chose to use this talisman, not even occupying the slightest bit of space in his decision. Canyn had confidence that as long as it was not someone currently much stronger than him, no one would pose a threat to him in the future. Because Canyn believed that he, in the future, would be stronger than anyone else. Standing at the pinnacle, this was Canyn's dream and pursuit. The reason for using this talisman was actually very simple, because Canyn loved and valued talent. The Devourer of abilities, a rare ability that had only appeared once in history. Once cultivated, Nissa could become an important right-hand person for Canyn. Not wanting to fight alone, Canyn needed to cultivate his own team. Nissa didn't know what the talisman was, but seeing Canyn's serious demeanour, she also became solemn. She vaguely felt that her fate would develop in some direction, and this talisman would be the key. "I'm giving you a chance. Empty your mind, don’t resist. This talisman will make you obey me," Canyn said to Nissa. "If you resist, you will undoubtedly die." Nissa trembled. Previously, speaking of becoming a servant or a slave was just begging for mercy. Who would want to lose their freedom? But now, she really had to face the choice of losing her freedom. And the other option of this choice was death. How cruel was this choice? Canyn said nothing, just looking at Nissa. "I accept," Nissa gritted her teeth, as she really had no other choice. "Empty your mind and gather your ability," Canyn said solemnly. He had only heard about this talisman from his master. Canyn couldn't refine such a talisman himself. It was created by the second-generation ancestor of the Immortal Doctors sect, who had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment phase at his pinnacle. And its use was only seen in the manuscripts left by the seventeenth-generation ancestor of the Immortal Doctors sect. But after all, that was a long time ago. The talisman was ancient, and so was the information on how to use it. Therefore, Canyn couldn’t be completely sure what would happen after using it now. Nissa was fully prepared, with her eyes tightly closed, emptying her mind. Despite some reluctance in her heart, she had no choice but to accept everything as it was. Canyn, holding a talisman, channelled his spiritual power into it. The ancient and old talisman immediately radiated a brilliant light. Canyn controlled the talisman, and the light instantly turned into a stream of light, rushing directly into Nissa's forehead. At this moment, the talisman in Canyn's hand completely disappeared into thin air. Nissa suddenly felt something extra in her mind. Nissa instinctively felt fear. Although her ability was also hidden in her mind and under control, this sudden addition was unknown and frightening. However, valuing her life more than her fear, Nissa gritted her teeth, refrained from overthinking, and maintained her empty state of mind. As for the outcome, she could only leave it to fate. One minute, two minutes, even five minutes had passed. Nissa, having emptied her mind, had completely lost the concept of time. In such a state, she entered a kind of ethereal realm. Meanwhile, Canyn felt a connection with Nissa. It was a connection that seemed to allow Canyn to end Nissa's life instantly if he wished. Not just seemingly, but it was the case. "How magical this talisman is," Canyn thought, admiring the second-generation ancestor of the Immortal Doctors sect. "Wake up," Canyn said in a low voice, looking at Nissa. Nissa shuddered, then slowly opened her eyes. Losing her ethereal state, Nissa immediately felt the difference from before. She felt that she absolutely could not resist Canyn in any way, or she would die instantly. This feeling made Nissa shiver all over. However, she soon calmed down and her expression became natural. Canyn had been observing Nissa all along, so he saw all her reactions. "Master," Nissa said. "You can continue to call me Mr. Canyn or just Canyn," Canyn said with a smile. "You should think of this as a chance to soar and change your fate. You are the same as before except for obeying me. But now, you should unleash your devouring ability, and I will help you infuse energy." "Master," Nissa said, surprised. "You must be starving, aren't you? Come on," Canyn said sternly. Nissa was truly surprised. She had thought she would become completely subjugated to Canyn. But reality seemed to differ from her expectations. "Quick," urged Canyn. "Master," Nissa hesitated. "This is also an experiment. If it doesn't work, we must find another way. Do you know the value of that talisman? I used it on you. I need you to become stronger, much stronger than you are now," Canyn said seriously. Nissa temporarily set aside her internal complexities. The ability in her Pineal body emerged and attached itself to Canyn's outstretched hand. Nissa immediately felt a surge of powerful and pure spiritual power, full of vitality, rushing toward her. Her devouring ability joyfully roared. Nissa felt as if she had soared instantly, every cell in her body brimming with endless vitality. She had devoured others' energy before - internal force, spiritual power, even other abilities - but never felt like this. This joy was like a transcendence, a change. It was not just about being satisfied, it involved unknown changes that even Nissa herself couldn't fully understand. Canyn could feel his spiritual power draining, but it was a mere 1% of his total power. After about a minute, Nissa could no longer absorb any more energy. Her current level was too low. Even though Canyn let her devour freely, she could not consume much. Canyn withdrew his spiritual power, and Nissa also retracted her devouring ability. "Thank you, master," Nissa sincerely thanked him after feeling her ability become more active yet more concealed. Her resistance to being controlled had greatly diminished. "Just call me Mr. Canyn," Canyn said with a frown. The title of master was exciting, satisfying many fantasies of a man. But if she got used to calling him that, and others heard it, it wouldn't be good. "Can I call you that when I'm alone with you?" Nissa asked cautiously. "Suit yourself," Canyn said reluctantly. "Thank you, master," Nissa said cheerfully. "Master, let me make you a cup of Green tea." "You actually have Green tea here?" "Yes, master. Please wait a moment, I'll make it right away," Nissa quickly got busy. A smile appeared on Canyn's lips. Having such a beautiful woman busily serving him gave him a great sense of achievement as a man.
