“Sister, take it easy.” Yue Qianchou casually advised. Bai Suzhen rolled up her jade sleeves and waved her hand to withdraw the oppressive aura, standing there quietly and coldly observing, as if the heart-stopping scene just now had nothing to do with her.
Without the oppressive force, Meng Yan’s malevolent energy instantly surged. He stepped forward, his bones crackling throughout his body, and laughed sinisterly: “When did the Demon Ghost Domain gain another late Tribulation Crossing stage demon clan member? Excellent! The ten great Demon Kings and ten great Ghost Kings have long had an agreement – in each territory, demons rule the yang and ghosts rule the yin. Now your demon clan has broken the rules, so don’t blame this general for being impolite.”
“Hmph! Frog in a well – don’t tell me you think only the Demon Ghost Domain has late Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators?” Yue Qianchou sneered, then turned back to smile at Bai Suzhen: “How come it’s sister who came? Where are Yun Chang and the others?”
Bai Suzhen understood the meaning in his words. Before Yue Qianchou had summoned her, he had secretly contacted her through divine sense, asking her to give the Ghost General a show of force when she appeared. So just now, she had used all her cultivation to force the Ghost King back a step with her aura. Her peerless face covered in frost turned, instantly transforming into gentle warmth, cooperatively showing a trace of annoyance: “Could it be that in your eyes, sister is inferior to them?”
This answer was wonderful – it both maintained her habit of not lying and cooperated with her brother. Anyone with a bit of brains would wonder what kind of people “Yun Chang and the others” were, to actually compare to the late Tribulation Crossing stage Bai Suzhen in Yue Qianchou’s heart? Yue Qianchou smiled sheepishly: “Sister is joking. Yun Chang and the others wouldn’t dare say they compare to sister – I just didn’t want to trouble sister.”
This back-and-forth indeed made the couple secretly alarmed, but the Ghost General had lost face and couldn’t easily let it go. He immediately said in a deep voice: “This general has also traveled the world, but today I’ve become a frog in a well. However, since the young lady has come, this general can’t help but seek some guidance.” For a moment, his eyes actually glowed with excited red light, showing that his fighting spirit had been ignited.
‘I miscalculated the warrior’s bloodthirsty desire for battle!’ Yue Qianchou secretly groaned. Had he misjudged Yu Ji? If they really fought, it would all be exposed. Although demon cultivators were strongest among equal cultivation levels, if it alarmed the Ghost King’s subordinates outside, his “Yun Chang and the others” would be useless now. Moreover, the Yu Ji before him was probably not someone to mess with either. It seemed he still needed to prepare to escape. Sigh! So close to success!
Bai Suzhen slowly turned her head, her face still calm as water. A faint white energy emanated, forcing Yue Qianchou back several steps. Just then, Yu Ji suddenly called out: “General, stop!”
Yue Qianchou immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She was indeed a woman who couldn’t stand loneliness. From Meng Yan’s unconsciously revealed attitude toward her, it could be seen that Meng Yan’s defeat in life probably had something to do with this woman. A general who always brought a woman to the battlefield, and one who could always influence his decisions – no matter how capable this general was, it would be hard to maintain constant victory. But this was perfect for his use!
“Visitors are guests – how can the General treat guests this way?” Yu Ji stood up and grasped Meng Yan’s arm. The malevolent energy swirling around him immediately fell into gentle embrace and disappeared without a trace.
‘This woman has grasped the essence of playing good cop, bad cop.’ Yue Qianchou smiled knowingly and also walked to Bai Suzhen’s side, gently taking her hand. Looking at that familiar face that would risk life and death for him and was the envy of all under heaven, he couldn’t say any extra words and softly said: “Sister, please return.”
The white energy subsided, and gentleness returned. Everything was understood without words. Bai Suzhen nodded slightly and vanished without a trace. Yue Qianchou took a breath and turned around.
Meng Yan and Yu Ji were shocked again, exchanging glances. If Bai Suzhen’s sudden appearance at the beginning went unnoticed due to their negligence, that could be excused. But now, under their focused attention, even “teleportation” should allow them to estimate a general direction. But… Meng Yan immediately felt he had been somewhat rash earlier. This woman was far stronger than him based on late Tribulation Crossing cultivation. If they fought, there was a real possibility of being instantly killed. He couldn’t help but glance at Yu Ji again, grateful that her words had been timely. Naturally, they didn’t know that something like the Golden Pearl existed in the world.
“Master Yue, is that young lady really your sister? To me, you look more like a couple.” Yu Ji covered her mouth and giggled, as if nothing had happened just now.
‘This woman really knows how to liven the atmosphere. With her looks and wit, she would have been an outstanding socialite in my previous life.’ Yue Qianchou waved his hand and smiled faintly without explanation. So what if calling her sister while being lovers? Yang Guo called his teacher “aunt” and still became her husband! I’m far inferior to that one-armed hero – Master Jin played across generations, that’s the difference!
Meng Yan, being a generation’s hero, wasn’t entirely someone who couldn’t let things go. Moreover, his woman had already resolved the awkward atmosphere quite well, so he spoke directly: “Master Yue’s sister has higher cultivation than me, but I wonder where she’s from?”
“Speaking of it, probably few people would know.” Yue Qianchou said with yearning: “She comes from a place called ‘Utopia.’ Unfortunately, they’re all people who don’t like to get involved in worldly affairs, otherwise…” He shook his head: “If there’s a chance, I could lead you two there for a visit.”
“Oh, I would very much look forward to that.” Yu Ji giggled.
“A small matter.” Yue Qianchou waved his hand in agreement, then continued: “Since we’ve spoken openly, I, Yue Qianchou, won’t hide anything. Let’s be clear about business first – I still ask the Great General to help me with a small favor.”
“Speak! As long as this general can help, feel free to ask.” The Ghost General also magnanimously waved his hand.
Yue Qianchou smiled: “This matter would be easy as turning over your hand for the General.”
“Wait.” Yu Ji suddenly spoke to stop him, smiling at Meng Yan: “Since Master Yue said to be clear about business first, I’m not a gentleman but a woman. General, let me be the petty one, alright?”
Meng Yan frowned in confusion, looked at Yue Qianchou with an apologetic smile, then turned back: “Madam, please speak.”
“I also want to ask Master Yue for a favor.” Yu Ji’s bright eyes sparkled as she smiled.
‘This woman is really troublesome!’ Yue Qianchou was stunned, then nodded: “What matter? Please speak, Madam. As long as I can do it, I’ll definitely not refuse.”
Yu Ji smiled: “Something Master promised.”
Yue Qianchou suddenly understood: “Could it be about changing the surname ruling the mortal realm? Does Madam have someone in mind? Please tell me.” He thought to himself, ‘What a pity. In my mind, the Shi family of the Pillar State General’s Manor was my planned first choice – wealthy, powerful, and controlling military forces. It would save a lot of effort in planning. Looks like this shrew is going to mess things up.’
But Yu Ji shook her head: “No. Master has probably guessed that my General has grievances with the Li family ancestors. But winners become kings and losers become bandits – no one can complain. We can only say it was our fate. No matter how much resentment the General has, it’s been thousands of years. At least for me, it’s already forgotten. The small favor I want from Master is another matter. Does Master’s promise just now to take us to ‘Utopia’ for a visit still count?”
Yue Qianchou was stunned: “Just this matter?”
He had to admit, this was indeed a small favor for him – extremely easy. He could do it right now. And as long as he was willing, he guaranteed the couple could stay in Utopia for a lifetime and wouldn’t be able to leave even if they wanted to.
“Just this matter.” Yu Ji nodded with a smile.
Yue Qianchou glanced at Meng Yan and found he was getting somewhat uncontrollably excited, his chest rising and falling noticeably faster. ‘Damn! This woman’s words probably aren’t that simple. Who knows what trouble she’s planning.’ Thinking about it, he really couldn’t figure out what was wrong, so he could only nod: “I agree then.”
Yu Ji glanced at Meng Yan, turned back and walked over, giggling: “Master shouldn’t agree so readily. There’s something Master probably doesn’t know yet. Let me finish speaking before you agree – otherwise Master will definitely blame Yu Ji later, and how could I face that!”
