186: How does Master plan to appease his disciple?

Concealed by the Nine Palaces Maze Formation, Bai Zhi suddenly attacked, landing a terrifying strike on the blue-faced elderly Ghost God.

The blue-faced Ghost God, being the strongest among the three, had already reached the Late Stage of the Ghost God Realm.

However, given his strength and Bai Zhi's sneak attack, he was instantly severely wounded.

He spat out fresh blood and roared, "Nether Night, do you truly intend to exterminate us all? Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the other Ghost Gods?"

"Hmph, weren't you unafraid either?"

Ye Qingyi coldly snorted and fiercely attacked as well, showing no mercy.

Under the two women's joint assault, and with Chu Yuan occasionally controlling the Formation for assistance, the blue-faced Ghost God was quickly captured and his cultivation was Sealed.

After Chu Yuan acted and enslaved him, he ignored him.

The enslavement rune needed some time to strengthen the connection between them; it was enough to just leave him inside the Formation.

Bai Zhi and the other woman continued, using the same method to capture the remaining two Ghost Gods one by one.

At this point, the three Ghost Gods lay in the Formation with ash-gray faces and extremely complicated expressions.

The three of them gathered, and Chu Yuan said, "Sister Qingyi, I feel like this Formation needs to be maintained for a period of time. How long do you think is appropriate?"

"Three months."

Ye Qingyi pondered briefly before saying, "Using the Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art to enslave those of the same Realm is quite difficult for me, so three months is just right."

"Alright!"

Chu Yuan nodded, stored the three individuals into his spirit governing space, and returned to the palace with Ye Qingyi.

"We greet the Venerable One!"

The six individuals including You Lian bowed one after another, faces showing delight.

Afterward, You Lian looked at Chu Yuan and joyfully said, "You brat finally decided to come back."

Chu Yuan smiled, "Hello, Sister You Lian. Have all the sisters missed me?"

Blood Charm licked the corner of her lips, "You disappeared for four years after playing with us once, how could we not miss you?"

Chu Yuan looked slightly awkward, "Sister Blood Charm always speaks so frankly."

Illusion Concubine chuckled, "Little Brother Chu Yuan, we missed you too. We haven't tasted your Culinary Skills in a long time. Have they improved?"

"Of course!"

Chu Yuan nodded, naturally understanding her meaning, and chuckled, "I'll go prepare a feast right now so we can properly gather."

"Great, we were waiting for you to say that."

Everyone's faces lit up with joy, showing no hint of politeness.

A moment later.

Chu Yuan prepared a table with fourteen dishes, and everyone sat down together.

"Huh, why can't I smell the aroma?"

You Lian looked at the table full of dishes and expressed surprise.

Chu Yuan chuckled, "The aroma is all contained within. Hurry and try them!"

The six women looked surprised, but Ye Qingyi and Bai Zhi had already started eating.

Seeing this, the six individuals including You Lian began to eat.

Then, before they could even exclaim how delicious the food was, they fell into a state of Dao comprehension.

By the time they woke up, more than half of the dishes on the table had disappeared.

If Ye Qingyi and Bai Zhi hadn't restrained themselves slightly, the meal might have already ended.

You Lian and the others stared at Chu Yuan in shock, truly having not expected Chu Yuan's Culinary Skills to have reached such a refined level.

After uttering a word of praise, the six women continued.

Fourteen dishes meant fourteen instances of Dao comprehension; this banquet actually lasted until the next day.

Of course, this was after Ye Qingyi and the other two had left early.

For the next period of time, Chu Yuan stayed in the Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss.

Every day, he would cook and spar in combat with You Lian and the others to Revered Master his own strength.

Incidentally, he materialized the secret brewing recipe that Shangguan Xinglan had found for him.

Drunken Fragrance!

Brewed with over ten types of Grade Six spiritual materials and one Grade Seven spiritual material, it possessed remarkable spiritual energy, aiding in cultivation Breakthrough and restoring spiritual power.

But there was one catch: it was highly intoxicating!

Even a Spirit Venerable Realm expert would be knocked out after ten cups.

Furthermore.

With Ye Qingyi's tacit approval, You Lian and the others couldn't hold back and also entered into a relationship with him.

With the three Ghost Gods trapped in the Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss, many Ghost Gods across the Tianxuan Divine Continent turned their attention toward it, yet none personally came over.

Three months later.

Chu Yuan withdrew the Nine Palaces Maze Formation, and the three Ghost Gods appeared before the world.

But at this time, they were utterly respectful towards Ye Qingyi, clearly adopting the demeanor of servants.

They even brought all their subordinates to the Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss, becoming the protectors of the Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss themselves.

This scene caused many people to be extremely wary.

An unknown Formation, combined with Ye Qingyi and the Demon God Bai Zhi, two God Realm experts, could actually subdue three Ghost Gods so easily.

Furthermore, the Ghost Fiend God Controlling Art mastered by Ye Qingyi was enough to make other Ghost Gods recoil.

What's more, Ye Qingyi now had three additional Ghost Gods under her command, making her even more terrifying.

For a time, the Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss became a Forbidden Ground for other Ghost Gods.

No one was even willing to meet Ye Qingyi, let alone become her enemy.

Naturally, Chu Yuan and the others paid no attention to this.

Leaving two Ghost Gods to guard the Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss, and storing the remaining one in his spirit governing space, the three of them returned to the Xuantian Sect.

Chu Yuan was, after all, a member of the Human Race and a Disciple of the Xuantian Sect. It wouldn't be good for him to stay in the Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss for too long.

Moreover, Shangguan Xinglan was urging him to return.

Immediately upon returning to Ziyan Peak, Shangguan Xinglan appeared before Chu Yuan.

"Come with me, I have something I need to ask you!"

Chu Yuan nodded.

The two arrived in the main hall. Shangguan Xinglan set up a barrier and asked with a solemn expression:

"Chu Yuan, tell your Revered Master honestly, have you been controlled by those two, and have you betrayed the Human Race?"

Chu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, "Revered Master, what are you thinking?"

"I have such a beautiful Revered Master, as well as a Senior Sister, a Junior Sister, and attachments like Zhang Yan. Why would I betray the Human Race?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xinglan's tightly furrowed brows did not relax much.

Her beautiful eyes stared intently at Chu Yuan, seemingly wanting to discern a clue from his expression.

Chu Yuan said helplessly, "Revered Master, if you really don't believe me, how about I swear upon the Heavenly Dao?"

"But Revered Master must think carefully. If I swear, I might feel quite uncomfortable afterward. How does Revered Master plan to placate her Disciple?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Xinglan still frowned, her eyes thoughtful.

She finally spoke, "How do you want your Revered Master to placate you?"

Chu Yuan's eyes flickered, and he said cautiously, "Revered Master, do you know why I was willing to acknowledge you as my Revered Master back then?"

Shangguan Xinglan frowned and asked coldly, "What are you trying to say?"

Chu Yuan showed no fear whatsoever, "If I say it, Revered Master, don't get angry."

"Speak!"

Having received Shangguan Xinglan's permission, Chu Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Actually, when I first saw Revered Master, I was stunned by your heavenly beauty and my heart was filled with joy..."

"Stop talking!"

Shangguan Xinglan quickly stopped him, seemingly having guessed that Chu Yuan wasn't going to say anything appropriate.

"That's enough, get out!"

Chu Yuan shrugged, yet continued, "Revered Master, don't worry. For your sake, we would never betray the Human Race."

"Get out!" Shangguan Xinglan's expression grew even colder, and the main hall became slightly chillier.

"Fine, then."

Chu Yuan pouted, turned around, and reluctantly walked out of the main hall.

The corner of his mouth lifted, revealing a slight smile.

Defend himself?

That would be too boring. How much better it was to simply turn the tables and save trouble.

Watching him leave, Shangguan Xinglan covered her chest, her earlobes slightly flushed.

"My heart is beating so fast. That brat actually tried to charm me?"

"Damn him!"

She cursed softly, her face slightly red, and disappeared within the main hall.
