Mischief

"Sister, hold on." Yue Qianchou casually advised. Bai Suzhen rolled up her sleeves and waved her hand, dispelling her imposing aura. She stood there calmly and quietly, observing coldly, as if the thrilling scene just now had nothing to do with her.

As Meng Yan's murderous Sha Qi disappeared, his imposing presence surged. He took a step forward, his bones cracking, and chuckled, "When did another Demon Race in the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Demon Ghost Domain and Ghost Domain? Very well! The Ten Demon King and the Ten Ghost Kings had an agreement that demons would rule the Yang and ghosts the Yin in their respective territories. Now it is you Demon Race who have broken the rules, so don't blame this general for being impolite."

"Hmph! You frog in a well, do you really think that only the Demon Ghost Domain has those at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage?" Yue Qianchou sneered, then turned to Bai Suzhen and smiled, "Why is it you, sister? Where are Yun Chang and the others?"

Bai Suzhen understood the meaning behind his words. Before Yue Qianchou summoned her, he had secretly contacted her with his Divine Sense, instructing her to give the Ghost General a hard time. Therefore, as soon as she emerged, she used all her cultivation to force the Ghost King back a step. Her icy, peerless face turned her head, instantly softening into a gentle expression, and she said with a hint of annoyance, "Do you think my sister is inferior to them?"

That was a clever answer. It maintained her habit of not lying while also cooperating with her younger brother. Anyone with a brain would wonder what kind of people "Yun Chang and the others" were. Could they really be better than Bai Suzhen, who was at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage, in Yue Qianchou's mind? Yue Qianchou chuckled and said, "Sister is joking. Yun Chang and the others wouldn't dare say they are better than you. They just didn't want to trouble you."

The shouting and singing indeed surprised the couple, but the Ghost General, having suffered a loss, couldn't let it go so easily and lose face. He immediately said in a deep voice, "This general once roamed the world, but today I've become a frog in a well. However, since you've come, I can't help but ask you for some pointers." For a moment, his eyes even gleamed with excited red light, showing that his fighting spirit had been ignited.

He had underestimated the soldiers' thirst for battle! Yue Qianchou inwardly groaned. Had he misjudged Yu Ji? This fight would truly expose his weakness. Although the Demon Path was the strongest among those of equal cultivation, what use would his "Yun Chang and the others" be now if the Ghost King's subordinates outside were alerted? Besides, Yu Ji before him was probably not someone to be trifled with. It seemed he had to prepare to flee. Alas! All his efforts were in vain!

Bai Suzhen slowly turned her head, her face still calm and composed. A faint wisp of white mist emanated from her, forcing Yue Qianchou close by, back a few steps. Just then, Yu Ji suddenly shouted, "General, stop!"

Yue Qianchou breathed a sigh of relief. She was indeed a woman who couldn't stand being alone. Judging from Meng Yan's unintentional attitude towards her, it was likely that this woman was somewhat responsible for Meng Yan's defeats before his death. A general who always had a woman by his side on the battlefield, and a woman who could always influence his decisions—no matter how capable this general was, it would be difficult to maintain constant victories. But this is perfect for me!

"Guests are guests, how can the general treat guests like this?" Yu Ji stood up and took Meng Yan's arm. The Sha Qi surrounding the latter instantly vanished into the gentle embrace.

This woman has truly grasped the essence of playing the good cop/bad cop role. Yue Qianchou smiled knowingly, walked to Bai Suzhen's side, gently took her hand, and looked at her familiar face—a face that had risked its life for him and was the envy of the world—and, unable to say anything more, softly said, "Sister, please go back."

The white mist dissipated, revealing a gentle demeanor. 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 startled again, exchanging a glance. If their initial failure to notice Bai Suzhen's sudden appearance was due to their negligence, it could be understandable. Now, with their attention focused, even if she were to "teleport," they should have been able to estimate her approximate location. However... Meng Yan suddenly realized he had been somewhat reckless. This woman, with her late Tribulation Transcendence stage, he might very well be instantly killed. He glanced at Yu Ji again, thankful that she had spoken in time. Neither of them knew of the existence of such a thing as a golden pearl.

"Mr. Yue, is this young lady really your sister? She looks more like a couple with Mr. Tong." Yu Ji covered her mouth and giggled, as if nothing had happened.

This woman really knows how to liven up the atmosphere. With her looks and wit, she would have been an outstanding socialite in her past life. Yue Qianchou waved his hand, smiled faintly, and offered no explanation. So what if calling someone "sister" means they're lovers? Yang Guo called her "master" and "aunt," and in the end, he became her husband, didn't he? I'm far inferior to that one-armed swordsman. Jin Yong was playing with a generational gap; that's the difference!

Meng Yan, a powerful and ruthless man, was not entirely someone who couldn't let go of things easily. Besides, his woman had already diffused the awkward atmosphere, so he asked directly, "Mr. Yue's sister's cultivation is higher than mine, but I wonder where she is from?"

"I'm afraid few people would know if I told them," Yue Qianchou said wistfully. "They come from a place called 'Utopia.' It's a pity that they are all people who don't like to get involved in worldly affairs, otherwise..." He shook his head and said, "If I have the chance, I could take you and your wife on a trip."

"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it," Yu Ji chuckled.

"It's a small matter." Yue Qianchou waved his hand in agreement, and then said, "Since we've already spoken frankly, I, Yue Qianchou, won't hold back anymore. Let's be honest and straightforward from now on. I'll say it again: please do me a small favor Great General."

"Speak! If it's something this general can help with, just ask," the Ghost General said magnanimously, waving his hand.

Yue Qianchou laughed and said, "This matter is a piece of cake for the general."

"Wait a minute." Yu Ji suddenly spoke up to stop him, and said to Meng Yan with a smile, "Since Mr. Yue said to be a villain first and a gentleman later, I am not a gentleman, but a woman. General, would you allow me to be a villain for once?"

Meng Yan frowned in confusion, looked at Yue Qianchou with an apologetic smile, and turned back to say, "Please speak, Madam."

"I would also like to ask Mr. Yue for a favor," Yu Ji said with a smile, her bright eyes sparkling.

This woman is really difficult to deal with! Yue Qianchou was taken aback and nodded, saying, "What is it? Please speak, Madam. I will not refuse any task that is within my power."

Yu Ji smiled and said, "It's something you promised, sir."

Yue Qianchou suddenly realized and said, "Is it about changing the surname of the ruler in the world? Does Madam have someone in mind? Why don't you tell me?" He thought to himself that it was a pity. In his mind, the Shi family of the Marquis General's Mansion was the only choice in his plan. They were a large family with great power and influence, and they also held military power. It would save a lot of effort to plan against them. It seems that this nag is going to ruin everything.

To everyone's surprise, Yu Ji shook her head and said, "No. I'm sure you've already guessed that my general has a grudge against the Li family's ancestors. But the victor is king and the loser is a bandit, and no one can say anything about it. We can only say that this is our fate. Even if the general still has grievances in his heart, it's something from thousands of years ago, and at least for me, it's been forgotten. The small favor I need from you is another matter. Do you still stand by your promise to take us to 'Utopia'?"

Yue Qianchou was taken aback and asked in astonishment, "That's all?"

I have to admit, this is a small favor for me, it's so easy, I can do it right now. And if I wanted to, I could guarantee that the two of us could stay in Utopia for the rest of our lives, and we wouldn't be able to get out even if we wanted to.

"That's all," Yu Ji nodded and smiled.

Yue Qianchou glanced at Meng Yan and noticed that he was becoming uncontrollably excited, his chest heaving noticeably. Damn it! This woman's words probably weren't so simple; who knew what kind of trouble she was going to cause this time? Thinking about it, he couldn't really see what was wrong, so he simply nodded and said, "I agree."

Yu Ji glanced at Meng Yan, then turned and walked over, giggling, "Sir, don't agree so readily. There's something you might not know yet. It's not too late to agree after I've finished speaking, otherwise you'll definitely complain about Yu Ji later, and how could I possibly accept that!"
