147: I don't think so.
Chu Yuan said apologetically, "Little Bai, if I appear there, it might not be good for you!"
"What's wrong?"
Bai Zhi blinked her big eyes, asking in confusion.
Chu Yuan scratched his head, smiling wryly, "You explicitly didn't bring me into the Secret Realm entrance earlier. If I go with you, Ye Qingyi might cause you trouble!"
Bai Zhi blinked, remembering that point, but shook her head and smiled, "It's fine. As long as you and I don't care, they can't control it."
Chu Yuan nodded, "Alright, wait a moment. I'll conceal myself first."
Saying that, Chu Yuan used the primal divine crystal to suppress his cultivation to the Middle Stage of the Spirit Crystal Realm.
His apparent age, which was seventeen when he first met Shangguan Xinglan, was now two years older.
Nineteen!
A nineteen-year-old in the Spirit Crystal Realm would very likely be hunted down by the Four Clans, right?
Chu Yuan thought to himself.
But then Bai Zhi shook her head: "Chu Yuan, I think you should conceal everything."
"If others can't see through you, they'll just assume you used a powerful treasure to conceal yourself, and perhaps won't think too much of it."
"But with your current concealment, I'm afraid many people would want to kill you on the spot!"
"Uh~"
Chu Yuan's expression froze. Although he didn't want to admit it, Little Bai was right.
"Alright..."
He nodded, concealing everything about himself, making him appear like a Mortal.
Of course, no one would believe a Mortal whose cultivation couldn't be seen at all.
But as Little Bai said, this was much better than a nineteen-year-old Spirit Crystal Realm Cultivator.
Little Bai nodded in satisfaction, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She couldn't see through Chu Yuan's concealment either, nor did she know how he did it.
All in all, this kid had quite a few secrets!
But she wasn't interested in probing. If Chu Yuan wanted to tell, he would; if not, it didn't matter, after all, who didn't have a secret?
Bai Zhi took Chu Yuan's hand, and the two quickly moved through the Void Realm, arriving shortly.
At this time, many people had already gathered here, all looking eagerly at the dark stone tablet below the purple-gold light pillar...
The dark stone tablet was half a meter off the ground, quietly suspended there.
Mysterious runes flowed on it, and an unfathomable Qi emanated in waves.
The appearance of Bai Zhi and Chu Yuan immediately attracted many gazes.
"Bai Zhi Demon God!"
Ye Qingyi walked over quickly, her gaze fixed on Chu Yuan without blinking.
"Little... Little Brother, is that you!"
Ye Qingyi spoke softly. Although it was a question, her tone was already certain.
Even though she couldn't see through Chu Yuan at all, her intuition told her that this was her Little Brother.
Chu Yuan slowly took off his mask, revealing a gentle smile: "Sister, long time no see, are you well?"
Ye Qingyi's expression froze slightly. What had happened to her Little Brother?
How could he have become even more handsome and alluring after more than two years apart?
"Little Brother, I miss you so much!"
Ye Qingyi quickly recovered and was about to pounce on Chu Yuan to hug him.
However, Bai Zhi subtly shifted a step, blocking Ye Qingyi's movement.
Ye Qingyi frowned, "Bai Zhi Demon God, what are you doing?"
Bai Zhi chuckled, "Nether Night Demon God, Chu Yuan is my contractor. Until I'm sure whether you're friend or foe, you cannot approach him!"
"Contractor?"
Ye Qingyi's delicate brows instantly furrowed, "Damn it, how dare you enslave my Little Brother?"
Her voice was icy, her entire body's Ghost Qi surged, and she looked at Bai Zhi with cold eyes.
The killing intent on her body rose and was suppressed, rose and was suppressed, as if she was wary of something.
But if looks could kill, Bai Zhi would have died a thousand times over.
Chu Yuan quickly stepped forward: "Sister, you must have misunderstood. Little Bai and I signed an equal contract; there's no master-slave relationship."
"Equal?"
Ye Qingyi blinked, somewhat slow to react. Would this woman be willing?
"What are you looking at?" Bai Zhi rolled her eyes, saying irritably, "I respect Chu Yuan a lot; I wouldn't enslave or control him."
She intentionally emphasized the word 'control,' seemingly implying something.
Ye Qingyi's expression changed slightly, as if she understood her meaning, and she felt secretly annoyed.
She quickly said, "Little Brother, we got along very well before, but there are always people who try to sow discord. Let's also sign an equal contract, what do you think?"
What did he think?
Chu Yuan's expression was surprised, but he secretly complained in his heart that he didn't think much of it.
If he could, he would use the Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art to enslave this woman in front of him.
But the current setting was not appropriate, nor was the timing, and such words could not be spoken.
"Little Brother?"
Seeing him stunned, Ye Qingyi gently reminded him, a hint of apprehension unconsciously appearing in her eyes.
At this moment, Bai Zhi pulled Chu Yuan behind her and looked at Ye Qingyi, saying playfully,
"I don't think much of it. Chu Yuan only needs one equal contractor, which is me."
As she spoke, she paused, then said with a half-smile, "Of course, if you're willing to be a servant and sign a master-servant contract, I have no objections."
"You..."
Ye Qingyi was furious, "Why are you so annoying, woman? Why do you always target me?"
"Moreover, bringing Little Brother into danger like this is irresponsible to him. Are you even qualified to stand by Little Brother's side?"
Bai Zhi was not to be outdone, "What you're saying... if you weren't relentlessly pursuing him, I wouldn't have intended to bring Chu Yuan in. Chu Yuan hasn't blamed me, so what right do you have?"
"I..."
Ye Qingyi's expression froze, then she said, "Little Brother and I lived together for a year, we are friends. How am I not qualified?"
"Are you sure?" Bai Zhi looked at her with a half-smile, transmitting her voice, "Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art, do I need to say more?"
Ye Qingyi's expression froze, and she instantly deflated, transmitting her voice, "What do you want?"
Bai Zhi smiled slightly, transmitting her voice, "Chu Yuan is under my protection; don't even think about him. If you want to follow him, it's only if you act as his maid or something similar."
"If you're willing, and willing to submit, I welcome you."
"You..."
Ye Qingyi was furious, almost cursing out loud, but she held it back.
She glared angrily at Bai Zhi, really wanting to tear her apart, but found she couldn't.
Perhaps, she couldn't even do it!
For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless, even wanting to cry.
Not far away.
The onlookers, watching the two women contend, couldn't help but whisper.
"Oh wow, a Ghost God and a Demon God fighting over a man, that's quite a spectacle!"
"Indeed, I really don't know what's so attractive about this man that he's being fought over by two God Realm beauties."
"He's just a little pale, a little good-looking pretty boy. He's not as manly as I am!"
"You can forget it. This young man is truly handsome, isn't he? If I weren't afraid of being beaten to death, I'd want to go up and snatch him."
"So, I'm not the only one who thinks this? That kid is really handsome, truly perfectly suited to my taste."
"Same here!"
"..."
Everyone whispered, the men envious and jealous, the women's eyes shining.
Chu Yuan looked at the two women contending in front of him, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He was about to speak to mediate when a clear, cold voice came from behind him.
