Two

The unknown variables were like a thick, dark cloud, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts, forcing them to be extra careful when handling matters, lest they fall into an abyss of no return if they were not careful.

Time slipped away silently, like fine sand passing through our fingers, and before we knew it, the banquet was coming to an end.

Just then, Yun Xi suddenly felt two burning gazes fall upon her like flames. Those gazes seemed to carry a strong sense of inquiry and some indescribable intention, instantly putting her on alert.

Following the source of that unsettling gaze, Yunxi saw a strange pair of figures, a man and a woman.

Their eyes were fixed on her, filled with complex emotions. The male ghost's gaze was sharp and intense, as if trying to see through her soul; the female ghost's gaze, on the other hand, carried a hint of indifference and scrutiny, making Yun Xi feel extremely uncomfortable.

During this brief eye contact, Yunxi's doubts deepened, wondering why these two strange creatures were casting such odd glances at her.

The male ghost was tall and imposing, like a majestic mountain, giving off a strong sense of oppression. His curly hair, like rings of black waves, fell smoothly over his shoulders. Upon closer inspection, however, there was not a single strange feature to his appearance; instead, he seemed more like an aristocrat with extraordinary bearing.

The female ghost had long, flowing hair, as smooth and lustrous as black silk, swaying gently and exuding a captivating charm. Her outstanding temperament was like a solitary orchid blooming in the dark night, emanating a mysterious and alluring fragrance.

At that moment, she was elegantly holding a wine glass, her gaze passing over the crowd to meet his eyes from afar. Her eyes seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words, yet it was also as if it were just a casual exchange, creating an indescribable, subtle atmosphere in the surrounding air.

Without a doubt, both of them are extremely charismatic.

The male ghost seemed to possess an invisible attraction, making people unable to help but turn their heads; the female ghost exuded a captivating charm with every gesture, like a dazzling star in the night sky, impossible to ignore.

Throughout the banquet, or rather, due to the unique selection properties of the Strange Energy Crystal, all those who could cultivate using the Parasitic Crystal possessed charm values close to maximum.

The two eerie creatures, a man and a woman, were no exception; their charm seemed innate, making them stand out among the many strange creatures.

Just as Yun Xi was guessing the identities of the two people, the mayor next to her also saw them and then raised his hand to wave at them.

The mayor's movements were casual and relaxed, but his eyes revealed a different kind of expression, as if he was not surprised by the appearance of the two people, or perhaps there was some unknown connection between them.

Yun Xi instantly had the answer in her heart. Her eyes flickered slightly, and her thoughts raced.

Judging from the mayor's familiar and casual waving gesture, combined with the current situation and various signs, she was almost certain that the two charming and mysterious ghosts, a man and a woman, must be the mayor's other two heir ghosts.

Just then, the Domain Lord, with a faint smile on his face, slowly spoke, "Little Li, I was right. I must say, your luck is truly astonishing. Look at these three inherited monsters, each one is outstanding and has performed exceptionally well."

The domain lord's words were full of satisfaction and praise, and his gentle tone was like a spring breeze, softly brushing against everyone's heart.

The elder also smiled, and as he conversed with the domain lord, the two ghosts, a man and a woman, approached with light, graceful steps.

They first bowed deeply and respectfully to the Domain Lord and the Chief, their movements synchronized and demonstrating their training. Then, their gazes fell upon Yun Xi, their eyes filled with curiosity and inquiry, as if they wanted to see through Yun Xi completely.

Chang looked at Yun Xi and said slowly, "Yun Cai, come, let me introduce you. These are my other two inherited ghosts. This is Hui An, and this is Ku Yu."

As he spoke, he pointed his long finger at the two ghosts, a man and a woman.

"Hello, I'm Yun Cai." Yun Xi greeted Hui An and Ku Yu with a smile, her voice clear and melodious, like a clear mountain stream.

"Little sister, your level is so low, yet you were able to pass the test. That's quite impressive." Hui An smiled and approached, her delicate face like a fine work of art, every line perfectly proportioned, pleasing to the eye.

His eyes curved into crescent shapes, revealing a gentle and curious light. The upward curve of his lips carried a hint of friendliness, as if he was full of interest in Yunxi. Getting closer, he exuded a unique aura, possessing both a mysterious charm and an inexplicable sense of security.

In stark contrast to his outward appearance, a barely perceptible malice flashed in his eyes. That malice was like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, fleeting and elusive. Had Yun Xi not maintained a high level of vigilance, she probably wouldn't have been able to detect this momentary anomaly.

In contrast, the beautiful female Ku Yu, had a detached expression. Her face was like a calm lake, without the slightest ripple, making it impossible to fathom her true thoughts. That indifferent expression seemed to erect an invisible barrier between her and the surrounding world, making it difficult for anyone to approach her easily.

These two ghosts are indeed not simple. Both Hui An and Ku Yu are ghosts whose strength has reached the level of Intermediate Deity.

After the introductions were completed, the banquet soon came to an end, the lively atmosphere gradually dissipated, and the guests slowly dispersed.

The chieftain personally saw the domain lord off, and before leaving, he instructed, "Hui An, Ku Yu, you two take good care of Yun Cai." His tone was serious and earnest, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Upon hearing this, Hui An and Ku Yu responded in unison, "Yes, Chief!"

"Sister Yun Cai, let me take you there." Hui An still looked at Yun Xi with a smile. The smile seemed kind, but it made Yun Xi feel a little wary.

She nodded noncommittally, her expression calm, making it difficult to discern her true thoughts at that moment.

Upon seeing the leader leave, Ku Yu's expression instantly turned cold, as if covered by a layer of frost. Her previously calm demeanor instantly became extremely cold, and her eyes were filled with indifference.

She didn't even glance at Yun Xi and Hui An before turning and leaving. Her resolute back seemed to indicate her indifference and extreme impatience with all of this.

Her skirt swayed slightly with her movements, but it didn't bring any sense of beauty; instead, it exuded an aura of cold indifference that kept people at a distance.
