Transaction

He's now prepared to give up on asking them for a small favor. The danger is far too high. Taking them out is easy, but what if Bi Changchun finds out someday? Who knows what the consequences will be? Being targeted by a legendary figure is no good. Taking his life would be a piece of cake. To put it bluntly, he might not even have time to hide in Utopia; rejecting him would be as simple as a thought. Who on Fu Xian Island would dare help him? And who could possibly help him then?

Yu Ji suddenly covered her mouth and giggled, laughing so hard that she shook her head, leaving Yue Qianchou and Meng Yan somewhat bewildered. After a long while, she stopped and said with a smile, "Are you afraid, sir?"

Damn it! I wonder if there's any Africa around here? Anyway, with your delicate skin, I'll let you laugh your head off. Yue Qianchou retorted with a forced smile, "Aren't you two afraid?"

Yu Ji suddenly stopped laughing, and shook her head after a moment of surprise, saying, "Sir, you are overthinking it. Of course, I understand that this is not something that can be done just like that. I only want a promise from you. As long as you promise to fulfill your promise when you have the ability in the future, that will be enough." After saying that, she stared at him with her captivating eyes.

A promise! Another promise! He already owed Grandma Ma Jiu one, and now this again. Yue Qianchou felt a headache coming on whenever he heard the word "promise," and asked doubtfully, "How does Madam know I'll have this ability in the future? Shouldn't you first tell me what kind of help I need? Aren't you afraid of wasting your time?"

Yu Ji smiled gently. She was indeed a female ghost who had achieved great cultivation, but she was a woman, a woman who had experienced the world's splendor, a woman who lingered in the mortal realm. She no longer wanted to stay in this gloomy place, no longer wanted to live a life where she could be doomed at any moment. She had endured one year, two years, hundreds of years, thousands of years, and she truly longed to return to the human world. Although she was affected by the Principle of heaven and earth and could not walk in broad daylight, even if she could only sing and dance in the dim light every night, that would be enough!

Today, with Yue Qianchou's zither in hand, she stood out from the crowd, completely igniting her long-dormant desires. In her previous life, amidst the revelry and peace, who else could rival her? Though her heart was restless, alas, there was a powerful figure in the Demon Ghost Domain who made her tremble. Helpless, helpless... until Yue Qianchou casually summoned a female demon at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. Not only was she more beautiful than her, but what was most unbearable was that, while both were in the Demon Ghost Domain, this woman could leave at will and go wherever she wanted.

From her conversation with Yue Qianchou, it was clear that there were others even more powerful than her, and a group with a greater chance of reaching the Spirit Transformation stage. The fact that Yue Qianchou could summon such figures so easily, and possess such a powerful background, rekindled Yu Ji's interest. This might be an opportunity, a chance to leave this place she had loathed for thousands of years. Whether it succeeded or not, hope was better than no hope at all.

If Yue Qianchou knew her thoughts, besides feeling sorry for Meng Yan, he would also sigh that women in this life and the next are the same; women who are used to frequenting brothels are too wild and really unsuitable to be wives. At least they are not as reassuring as the kind of demure young ladies from quiet, peaceful homes.

"As long as it's not too difficult for us, the general and I can agree to any small favors you ask of me, sir. With your talent, you must be a man of your word. Whether or not I can keep your promise, one promise from you is enough for me."

After Yu Ji finished speaking, seeing that Yue Qianchou was still hesitating, she immediately decided to increase her stakes. She took a token from her waist and handed it over with a smile, saying, "This token is for you, sir. From now on, within this area of thousands of miles, if you carry this token, both demons and ghosts will have to give you some face."

"Damn! This is a real gem!" Yue Qianchou instinctively reached out and took it, stroking it gently. "Tsk tsk! I've heard that this Demon Ghost Domain has quite a few good spiritual herbs for alchemy! Some of these herbs have long since disappeared outside!"

Meng Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't understand why the lady would do such a thing. Could Yue Qianchou really help them escape the Demon Ghost Domain? Was it worth giving up his Ghost King Token? Wouldn't Yue Qianchou then be able to run rampant here without any restraint? He immediately tried to stop her.

Perhaps Yu Ji knew him too well. Taking advantage of Yue Qianchou's inattention, she turned back and slightly nodded at him, giving him a wink, indicating that she would explain to him, but not now. Meng Yan paused, remembering that his wife was always decisive, and that she must have had ulterior motives for doing this, so he remained silent.

"Since Madam is so kind, well... well..." Yue Qianchou, thinking to himself, Damn it! It would be an idiot not to take advantage of such an obvious benefit. He immediately put away the token and solemnly promised, "I promise Madam, once I have the ability, I will definitely take you and your wife to Utopia. Even if you and your wife want to stay there long-term, I can guarantee that the people there will absolutely not reject you."

He specifically emphasized that it was the couple, the two of them, not his entire army. Of course, since he had already said that he was capable, he wouldn't mind taking them along if they were ever useful to that army in the future.

Yu Ji's eyes lit up. The fact that the other party could include a hidden clause in the promise further showed that the other party was a person who kept his word and would not easily agree to things he could not do. This made her feel more at ease. As for whether or not to take everyone away, that was not something she cared about at all.

Yue Qianchou noticed that Meng Yan's face had darkened, clearly understanding the meaning behind his words. It seemed that it was indeed too much to take something from someone for free and then make a promise that wasn't even a half-finished product. Besides, the token was something that could be rendered useless with a single order, which was rather unreliable.

"Ahem." Yue Qianchou coughed and added to Yu Ji, "As long as what you just said counts, you can take my words as my oath."

What he meant was, if what you say is true, then I swore an oath to you just now. You should know that cultivators who make oaths carelessly will really suffer retribution. But if what you say is not true, then I can pretend that what I just said was never said.

Yue Qianchou concluded that Yu Ji must have some ulterior motive, otherwise she wouldn't be so eager to please him.

Yu Ji was even more pleased that he could swear such an oath. She giggled and walked to Meng Yan's side, took his arm and said with a smile, "General, it seems that the gentleman is afraid that my words will not work and that you, General, will have to agree to it yourself."

Meng Yan's displeasure vanished instantly, and he nodded to Yue Qianchou, saying, "Sir, please rest assured. My wife and I are one, and her words are my words. If there is anything you need my help with, you can speak up now."

"Haha, General, you truly have the bearing of a great general, so straightforward!" Yue Qianchou flattered, but his eyes glanced at Yu Ji out of the corner of his eye. Ah! This pillow talk is really powerful! I must remember this! To remind myself! Do not succumb to it!

He chuckled inwardly, remembering that his old enemy Yan Shu, who had come with him, was probably hiding somewhere Yan Shu. He composed himself and asked calmly, "Great General, besides the disciples of various factions in this military camp, there are also many people hiding around. I'm sure you're already aware of this. I wonder how you plan to deal with Great General?"

Meng Yan suddenly stood up and chuckled, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten. You actually ignored my advice to give them half an hour. Did you still have any illusions? Hehe! Very good! There are actually people here who dare to disregard my words!" As soon as he said this, he revealed a ferocious expression.
