121: My lord?

Hearing Little White’s voice, Purple Rhyme’s body stiffened slightly.

If she had to name the person she most respected now, it would be her new Little Master.

But if she had to name the second most respected, her former master and this Demon God were undoubtedly tied for second.

Both were beings capable of killing her, and neither had low killing intent.

Purple Rhyme quickly and respectfully said, “Ma… Madam, do you have any other instructions?”

“Madam?”

Little White’s body stiffened slightly, and her eyes showed a hint of panic and helplessness.

“You… don’t talk nonsense, he and I… we’re not in a relationship yet!”

Although she had stayed in that space for countless years, she still knew the relationship between the titles of master and madam.

Although Chu Yuan was a good guy, she only considered him a long-term meal ticket.

At most, he was a friend!

She looked up at Chu Yuan, only to see that the corners of his mouth seemed to be struggling not to rise.

“Don’t laugh!”

She slapped Chu Yuan’s arm, then looked at Purple Rhyme and said, “We’re not in that kind of relationship, don’t call me that in the future.”

Purple Rhyme slightly raised her head, looked at Little White, and cautiously asked, “Then… how should this servant girl address you?”

“Just…”

Little White blinked, unsure what to tell her to call her.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lighting up as she said, “He and I have a good relationship. You can treat me as a second master, just call me Little Master.”

“P…”

Chu Yuan almost burst out laughing, but quickly suppressed his laughter, forcing down his amusement.

But the curve of his lips directly betrayed him.

“What’s wrong?”

Little White looked up in confusion and asked.

Chu Yuan quickly shook his head, “Nothing, as long as Little White is happy.”

How could he mention the use of the term ‘Little Master’ in Qing Palace dramas?

He wouldn’t dare!

He really wouldn’t dare!

Little White frowned and glanced at him, but couldn’t discern anything.

She turned to Purple Rhyme, “Don’t mind him, just call me Little Master from now on.”

As she spoke, she spread her hand, and a faint wisp of ghostly Qi appeared.

“This was found in that village. Take it; it might be useful for your investigation.”

With that, she tossed the wisp of ghostly Qi in her hand to Purple Rhyme.

Purple Rhyme took the wisp of ghostly Qi and respectfully said, “Thank you, Little Master, this servant girl takes her leave!”

As her voice fell, she respectfully exited the cave and disappeared.

Seeing her leave, Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in confusion, “When did you get that thing? Why didn’t I notice?”

Little White shook her head, “Too much time has passed; it’s too faint, so you naturally didn’t notice it.”

“I noticed it then, and thinking it might be useful to you, I collected it casually.”

Hearing this, Chu Yuan helped stroke her fur and thanked her.

With the existence of that ghostly Qi, whether he investigated it or Purple Rhyme investigated it, it would be much easier.

In fact, entrusting the investigation to Purple Rhyme, who was very familiar with ghostly Qi, might yield results even faster.

After entrusting the matter to Purple Rhyme, Chu Yuan pondered for a moment and then took no further action.

Rather than slowly wasting time investigating himself, it was better to hand it over entirely to Purple Rhyme.

As for now… “Little White, I feel I’ve gained a deeper understanding of Alchemy. Help me conceal this, and I’ll refine this month’s spirit origin pills for you.”

“Okay!”

Little White’s face instantly lit up with joy upon hearing this, and she quickly agreed.

Chu Yuan smiled, sat cross-legged in the cave, and took out his Medicine Cauldron and the Materials for the spirit origin pills… Time rewound a few minutes.

Hundreds of thousands of miles away, Yin Fiend Qi covered the sky, spreading for ten thousand miles around.

Among the mountains, it was filled with eerie ghostly Qi, making one shiver at the sight of it.

But at this moment, a cold, sinister voice suddenly rang out.

“Who is it?!”

“How dare you kill my people! I will make you pay the price!”

The voice echoed through the mountains, causing countless beings to look up, their eyes filled with shock.

“To make Lord Ghost God so furious, the one who died must not be a minor figure, right?”

“Most likely, I wonder what happened?”

“Who knows?”

“Perhaps, our Myriad Ghost Cave will no longer be peaceful.”

“Let’s wait; perhaps we’ll know the answer soon.”

“…”

The ghosts discussed animatedly.

Before long, streaks of light flew towards the center, disappearing into a cave… Meanwhile.

Purple Rhyme held the wisp of ghostly Qi as she left the cave, her eyes filled with surprise.

“Was it him?”

“Forget it, I’ll go to this Hundred Ghost Mountain first and ask these people if they were involved.”

As she spoke, her figure moved slightly, heading towards a valley not far away… More than half an hour later.

Chu Yuan retracted the Chi Xiao Spiritual Flame and patted the Medicine Cauldron, its lid flying off to the side.

A rich Medicinal Pill aroma wafted out, causing Little White’s eyes to light up.

“It smells even better.”

She leaned in for a look, only to see Chu Yuan extract ten spirit origin pills.

Each one was exquisite and plump, with a rich pill fragrance, emitting a very pleasant scent.

Moreover, pill halos appeared on them; they were all special-grade Medicinal Pills.

“Wow, Chu Yuan, you’re too amazing!”

Little White joyfully took the ten spirit origin pills, admiring them with great fondness, her mouth watering, swallowing her saliva frantically, yet seemingly holding back.

She looked at Chu Yuan and said, “Old Man Lu only occasionally produces a few special-grade Medicinal Pills, and I rarely see special-grade spirit origin pills. Chu Yuan, all ten of yours are, you’re too incredible.”

Chu Yuan looked at her greedy expression and couldn’t help but smile, saying, “Just eat if you want to. I feel like I can refine special-grade Medicinal Pills again next time!”

“Really?”

Little White’s face showed surprise, but then she shook her head and said, “Then I’ll save half for now. If there are more special-grade spirit origin pills later, we’ll talk!”

With that, she put away nine spirit origin pills and popped one into her mouth.

“Mmm~ So delicious!”

“Chu Yuan, I feel like deciding to follow you was truly the right choice.”

Little White transformed back into the Little White Fox, her eyes narrowed as she lay in Chu Yuan’s arms, looking very content.

Chu Yuan smiled, a glint flashing in his eyes.

Being able to tie down a Demon God with such a small thing, he was the one who wasn't losing out.

If it weren't for Ye Qingyi's impure intentions, he might have stayed then, right?

After all, that was the protection of a God Realm Expert!

However, it was precisely because her intentions were impure that Chu Yuan was unwilling to return and met Little White.

He and Little White had an equal contract, so he didn't need to fear her. This kind of protection from a God Realm Expert was what he wanted.

Chu Yuan thought to himself, his heart filled with joy, and he smiled slightly.

He glanced at the Medicine Cauldron, gaining a new understanding of his Alchemy skills.

Although the spirit origin pill was too simple among sixth-grade Medicinal Pills, it was still a sixth-grade pill.

He felt that for Medicinal Pills below the seventh-grade, his success rate would probably be very high!

Even the success rate for special-grade Medicinal Pills would likely be very high.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard footsteps from outside the cave.

Both looked up, only to see Purple Rhyme respectfully walking in.

“This servant girl greets Master! Greets Little Master!”

Seeing her return, Chu Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly and asked in a deep voice, “Didn’t I tell you to investigate? Why are you back so soon?”

Purple Rhyme bowed slightly, “Reporting to Master, it has already been clarified.”

At these words, Chu Yuan’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly stood up, “Are you sure?”
