Regarding Aika's proposal, Fang Zheng was completely speechless, while Nie Xiaoqian was endlessly grateful. In fact, from Nie Xiaoqian's perspective, this was not a punishment at all. It should be known that she had witnessed Fang Zheng's power firsthand, and an immortal with such power must hold a very high position. If she could serve as a slave or servant by his side, it would be like ascending to heaven in one step!
In fact, this sort of thing is quite common in mythological tales.
For example, a certain fairy wreaking havoc, and then an immortal descends to subdue them as a disciple or the like. Modern people might see this as enslavement, but for yokai and evil spirits of that era, it was no less than a heavenly ascension! After all, most of them naturally became sentient beings, and they lacked a proper understanding of how to continue their refinement. They could only follow their own ideas on how to become stronger.
