Compared to Baili Qinyin, Yu Ji possessed a more venomous aura, exuding a fatal allure, much like a poisonous scorpion, incredibly dangerous.
Therefore, Su Han had immediately placed a mark on her before daring to approach her.
It was a swift turn of events.
Soon, the two reappeared. This time, Yu Ji was much more approachable. When greeting those around her, she was charmingly demure, linking arms with Su Han as if she were a little sister from next door.
"Haha, everyone, let's continue!"
Su Han declared, then resumed his feasting.
...
Three days later.
With the announcement of a piece of news, the entire Spirit Realm fell into a frenzy!
It was because someone had seen Yu Ji, hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Spirit Realm, appearing in Su Han's room. The two entered a hotel room hand in hand, and three hours later, they emerged again.
This news, even more sensational than Su Han's breakthrough in his state of mind, became the talk of the town across the Spirit Realm.
However.
The ones most displeased were the many venerable elders of the Holy Altar. These old fellows, usually engrossed in their cultivation, relied on Yu Ji for visual pleasure. But now, Yu Ji had suddenly appeared by Su Han's side, and it seemed they had even stayed in a hotel together!
This immediately irked the venerable elders, who convened an elder council.
Everyone present was struck with fear, trembling.
Wang Yanji wiped a bead of sweat, sighing with regret, "Damn that black-robed fellow, what kind of terrible idea did he come up with? It truly infuriates me. I had planned to keep this woman Yu Ji by my side after ascending to power. Now, she's been snatched away prematurely..."
Sighing, Wang Yanji was also puzzled as to how such a venomous vixen like Yu Ji had become Su Han's personal companion.
Even more perplexing to him was how Su Han remained completely unaffected!
This was unscientific!
"Quick, go investigate if there are any rumors of Su Han using large amounts of antidote recently. And be fast! I suspect this brat is trying to endure it. Hmph, if he really gets poisoned, then it would truly be... hmph!"
With that, Wang Yanji shared his thoughts with a few of the venerable elders.
The elders nodded in agreement!
After all, the poison that even they couldn't cure in a thousand years was equally ineffective against Su Han. Thus, all the big shots present believed that Su Han was merely feigning composure and was already poisoned.
"You guys, what's the deal with Yu Ji's poisonous constitution? Isn't it said that any man who is with her will immediately die?"
"Yes, I heard that too. Not to mention being with her, just getting close to her would cause immediate poisoning!"
"But what's going on now? What's happening? How come that brat Su Han is fine?"
Everyone present was filled with questions, looking towards Wang Yanji, who was among them and known for his excellent medical skills.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Yanji speculated, "What if that brat Su Han is using some life-sustaining medicine that allows him to survive for a certain period? Besides that, I can't think of any other explanation. And another thing, Yu Ji's kind of potent poison acts as a slow-acting poison for some super-strong individuals, and it might take some time to take full effect!"
Upon hearing this.
All the venerable elders present frowned. After all, as long as Yu Ji remained by Su Han's side, they felt it was a great blasphemy, as if their souls had been stolen.
But now, Yu Ji was going to stay by Su Han's side for a long time, which made the elders present feel as if their hearts were churning with a mix of emotions, like an overturned vinegar jar!
"Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have risked it all just to have a taste of her, what a pity, what a pity..."
"Indeed! A beautiful flower has been placed on dung, and this brat is our enemy, truly damnable!"
"Wang Yanji, you go and investigate this matter thoroughly immediately. See if that brat Su Han is using life-sustaining drugs! Ah, hurry up. If all else fails, we'll send people to rescue Yu Ji..."
"Yes, this girl is the treasure I've relied on for my cultivation for a thousand years, we can't lose her!"
"That scoundrel Su Han deserves to die!"
"Quick, it must be fast, otherwise Yu Ji will surely be defiled by that fellow!"
"Alas, perhaps it already has..."
Everyone sighed with regret, venting their frustrations at Wang Yanji. There was nothing they could do, as most of the Ten Great Protectors were either dead or injured, leaving only Wang Yanji somewhat useful.
Wang Yanji reluctantly accepted these tasks and immediately withdrew from the meeting!
The moment he stepped out!
Wang Yanji's expression changed. He sneered and shook his head. While the venerable elders possessed high cultivation, they were all stubborn and rigid in their thinking. Wang Yanji, however, had devised a brilliant plan this time.
"Hmph, venerable elders! I hope you all put in some effort this time and perish together with that Su Han. If that happens, this vast Holy Altar will belong to me, hahaha..."
With a burst of laughter, Wang Yanji disappeared into the night!
...
"Look quickly, Yu Ji, do you like these clothes?"
In a large marketplace, Baili Qinyin was pulling Yu Ji along, helping her pick out clothes. Previously, Baili Qinyin had been quite displeased with Yu Ji, but now she treated Yu Ji like a younger sister.
After all, both of them had been victims within the Holy Altar in the past!
Baili Qinyin was one of the Six Great Protectors, while Yu Ji had been kept like a caged songbird. This meant Baili Qinyin knew of Yu Ji's existence but had never met her.
Seeing her now, she indeed lived up to her reputation!
"They're beautiful, thank you, Sister Baili. Do I need to pay?" Yu Ji said blankly. For a thousand years, her life had been solely about cultivation, and she had never experienced anything else. This time out to the market was incredibly exciting, and everything she saw seemed fun.
However.
Just as the two were about to buy the clothes and head back, they suddenly saw Su Han running towards them, holding some black lace dresses and other peculiar outfits.
He thrust them into the hands of the two women.
"These white stockings are for you, Qinyin. You suit them the best! And these black ones are for you, Yu Ji. You'll look absolutely stunning in them!"
Su Han was overjoyed, having bought a lot of beautiful clothes for the two of them, which he could then slowly admire.
