Under My Control

- A Few Minutes Later -

Xu Lian slowly blinked his eyes open after I used Soul Shackle on him, sitting up groggily.

"Where am… I…?"

Then, he spotted me, and immediately looked struggled to his feet before preparing to launch a spell. However, after seeing me not budging an inch, he hesitated.

"I would think twice about trying to harm me," I said calmly, sending him a condescending look. "Of course, you're welcome to try. See what happens if you do."

"… What did you do to me?"

"I purposely didn't hit you too hard so you wouldn't take too long to wake up," I chuckled. "To think it would actually work."

"Answer the question," he demanded coldly, his usual smile nowhere to be seen. He knew he had lost. And now he wanted to know what the consequences were.

"Well-"

I hopped off the walls of the temple and stood in front of him with a triumphant grin on my face.

"-Put simply, you're under my control now."

"… What?"
