Chapter 1775: Chapter 1804: Since That’s the Case, You Be My Man
Ye Wushuang’s face was filled with fierceness as she raised her fist and smashed it down hard.
The delicate little pink fist kept enlarging in the eyes of Ksitigarbha, and then he watched as the lower half of his body, buried in the soil, rapidly receded into the distance.
His head was blasted off, the violent impact severing his neck completely, sending him flying backwards.
“Phew!”
“Feeling much more relieved now, the Netherworld’s cultivators are as annoying as ever.”
Ye Wushuang exhaled a long breath, feeling much more upbeat.
In the distance, Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui were dumbfounded. Only now did they truly understand the weight of the name Ye Wushuang. The previously invincible Ksitigarbha, who controlled everything, was being toyed with like a baby by this senior sister, without even the will to resist.
“Don’t you dare tell your senior sister that the intel was fabricated by us!”
Yu Huan Shui nudged Li Xiaobai’s arm and whispered.
“Definitely, I don’t know anything.”
Li Xiaobai nodded like a pecking chick, terrified of revealing the truth to Ye Wushuang, fearing the intense competitiveness among women.
“Little junior brother, I’m surprised you managed to find your way here. It seems the Abyssal Domain didn’t give you a hard time.”
Ye Wushuang walked over and said.
No need for thanks between fellow disciples; she was just astonished that Li Xiaobai managed to open the passage between the two realms, coming from the Central Origin Realm.
“After sister demonstrated her Divine Might that day, the City Lord has been particularly kind to me.”
“Let’s talk outside; this place is full of ghostly vibes, feels very ominous.”
Li Xiaobai said.
Yu Huan Shui agreed a hundred times: “Yes, yes, let’s talk outside.”
Ye Wushuang broke free, suppressed Ksitigarbha, crushed the surrounding ambush, and scared away Baihe Boy and the Ten Kings of Hell. No one was happier than Yu Huan Shui, who could escape after just a month in captivity, feeling like he just took a trip for resources.
He barely had time to experience what Hell is, and now he could follow the big shot out.
“Immortal, where do you want to go? How about we tear through space and take a stroll around the Boundary Sea?”
Yu Huan Shui smiled broadly, hoping that if Ye Wushuang would open the space tunnel to the Boundary Sea, he could return home effortlessly.
“Why are you in such a hurry? My junior brother has been under your care these days. Even I relied on your skills to successfully break free. You deserve the highest credit; allow me to take some time to properly thank you.”
Ye Wushuang glanced at Yu Huan Shui and said dryly.
A tremor ran through Yu Huan Shui, feeling more like she was settling scores than offering thanks. Based on his experience of playing cards with Ye Wushuang a few times, he sensed she might have hidden motives for keeping him.
“All according to the Immortal’s wishes; finding a place to rest sounds good, just in time to strengthen the bond with the little brother. It feels a bit sad to part so suddenly.”
Yu Huan Shui chuckled awkwardly, shifting focus to Li Xiaobai and subtly hinting at their friendship to avoid being beaten by Ye Wushuang suddenly.
“So you came alone. Where’s Yang Chen?”
Ye Wushuang looked at Li Xiaobai and asked.
“In the basement of the Clan of the Heavenly Gods, where there’s an entrance to the battlefield of the human race’s Imperial City. I just felt my way down to the Netherworld from the cliff under the Imperial City.”
Li Xiaobai recounted his journey to Ye Wushuang in detail.
Yu Huan Shui listened enthusiastically; just the journey to the Netherworld was filled with ups and downs, an excellent writing material.
“You’re saying the Netherworld is conducting a god-making plan, using pregnant women’s bellies to nurture gu worms, and even successfully birthed a ghost fetus?”
Ye Wushuang’s focus was different; upon hearing about the ghost fetus, her expression became grave.
“That’s correct, but unfortunately, it got away. Does sister know about this thing?”
Li Xiaobai inquired.
Ye Wushuang: “The Netherworld has done similar things before, creating mythical creatures out of thin air. I just can’t believe they’ve grown so depraved to use pregnant women for nurturing gu, and the process is unspeakably horrific. The ghost fetus must be found quickly or it will become a huge threat.”
“The Netherworld should look for it, right? Baihe Boy’s interference meant the gu-raising plan was thwarted. Judging by his attitude toward wanting to kill the ghost fetus, someone will deal with it.”
Li Xiaobai recalled Baihe Boy, an unpredictable man who seemed devoted yet decisively abandoned Ksitigarbha at a critical moment.
“Little junior brother, you’re too naive. There’s no simple cultivator in the Netherworld, and Baihe Boy is no exception. He deliberately let the ghost fetus escape to leave himself a share of the blame if things go wrong while also sabotaging the Netherworld’s plans by cutting the ghost fetus loose under the guise of suppression.”
“I’ve never seen the ghost fetus, but with Baihe’s skills, even against a thousand troops, killing a ghost fetus would be a piece of cake.”
Ye Wushuang spoke slowly, overturning Li Xiaobai’s understanding of Baihe Boy. Wasn’t he supposed to be the stern character who only knew how to exorcise demons? How did he suddenly become a cunning schemer expert in intrigue?
Yu Huan Shui patted Li Xiaobai’s shoulder and sighed: “Young brother is still too young, lacks honing. Follow me in the future; Yu will teach you how to read people.”
“Yang Chen is with the Clan of the Heavenly Gods, Liu Jinshui and that dog in the western Pure Land. Any other news, perhaps about the elder sister?”
Ye Wushuang asked pointedly.
Li Xiaobai shook his head: “Ah, no, I haven’t heard anything specific about the elder sister, only lots of rumors along the way, but no one knows her exact whereabouts.”
“Humph, I heard she’s got a man, one who’s well-read and has a wealth of knowledge.”
“What am I lacking compared to her? Why does she get to have a man when I don’t? Doesn’t this mean she outshines me?”
Ye Wushuang gritted her teeth, increasingly frustrated at the mention of this.
Feeling guilty, Li Xiaobai dared not speak, while Yu Huan Shui shamelessly chimed in: “Well-read? A wealth of knowledge? Who dares call themselves knowledgeable in front of Yu?”
“Yu is knowledge itself; no scholar under heaven would not look up to me. Rest assured, Immortal, should we come across that fair-faced man, with a mere word from Yu, I can make him crawl at your feet!”
Yu Huan Shui spoke dismissively, caring about little else, but anything involving scholars, even if he knew it was fake, he would fight to prove.
He was a great name in the Literature Circle, never controlling all scholars under heaven, but none wouldn’t regard him highly. Boundary Sea cultivators may not have seen his handsome face, but surely heard of his great name.
Seeing Ye Wushuang silent, Yu Huan Shui was inwardly smug, believing his flattery was well-delivered—an increased chance of her sending him back to Boundary Sea.
Unfortunately, he underestimated a woman’s jealousy.
Ye Wushuang turned to him: “So, you’re saying you’re better than that fair-faced man?”
Yu Huan Shui replied proudly: “Of course, what he has, I have too. What’s more, what he doesn’t have, I also have. I’m the upgraded version of a pretty boy!”
Ye Wushuang nodded in satisfaction: “Very well, in that case, you become my man. If you can’t outshine the fair-faced man beside the elder sister in the future, I’ll tear you apart!”
